Mr. Fier was not Prime Minister—Mr. Fox was Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs in the years 1806 and 1807. Although Lord Grenville was nominally Prime kfinister, Mr. Fox must h tee exercised at least equal in fluence in the Administration. As it is in the pewer of the Prima Minister at any title to cause a dissolution of the Cabinet by his rraig nation, does not that give him t pewer of exorcising great influence in the dispe.al of the eetrenage of etch eepattaietit ee far as he cho ees to ieterb re? —I (La net think hs exsrcises on that ti.tetiunt any influence over th e disposal of aopoitarneet.; I have no tecolleeiien of arty ease in which he has made use if any sub iefieei c: fir .ttith a purp.ee. Do a net it involve this cans: quence that if any eel. league of the Prime Mieister resi.eed his wishes with reference t.t any paricel sr aepointment, his would have the poeer of dissolvieg the Governmee., by teasing to continue in offise?—theler all ordinary circumstances, if :here was a serious if:fret-rex° ot opinion between the Prime Nl:fast• r and one of his colleagues, a ad that dif f-rence a uld not he reco Jelled by an anaccable under standing, the result would he the retirement of the cid league, not of the Prime Minister; but such a difference would never arise on a mere queitien of patronage. The possession of this patronage dues riot in any way diminish the personal expenditure occasioned to the hollers of these offices?—Net in the slightest degree. D t you consider the Prime Minister responsible for the disposal of the whole of the patronage of Govern ment ?—I think so. Is it his duty to control the disposal of that patron age?—l think so. lii all my experience, however, there has been cordial concert in these matters between all the members of the Government and the Prime Minister. I do not recollect the slightest difference of opinion about an appointment; at any rate, if there was a difference of opinion, I do not recollect any case in which it Was not immediately reconciled. Will you state how far the Prime Minister has en in fluence over the patronage of the appointments con• netted with the Government of India, th'at of Governor- General far instance P—l consider that the Primo Mi nister ought to have as great influence over the appoint ment of the Governor-General as the President of the Board of Control. The President of the Board of Control would never suggest the appointment of an in dividual to fill that office without being certain that he had the complete concurrence of the Prime Minister. Thetis true of all great offices, but particularly so of such an appointment as the Governor-General of India. The Prime Minister would have at least as much influ ence on the appointment of Governor-General of India as the Minister in whose particular department the for mal appointment might be. Has the Prime Minister as much influence over the appointment of the Governor General of India as he has over the appointment of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ire land ; that is to say, how far he is independent • of the East India Company with regard to the appointment?— The appointment cannot take place without the concur rence of the East. India Company. But the East India Company can make no appoint ment of their own ?—No. Then virtually it becomes the appointment of the Prime Minister ?—Virtually perhaps it is so ; but these public departmenta cannot go on successfully unless there is a good understanding between them. Are there not instances in which the East India Com pany has differed as to the appointment, and the ap pointment has consequently been obliged ti be can celled ! —There have been such instances. But, in fact, no Goverrnor-General of India can be appointed without the complete approbation, saectiou and concurrence of the Prime Minister of the Crown?— No, nor could he be appointed, nor would it be ad visable that he should be appointed, unless the person named had the complete confidence of the East India Company, The President of the Beard of Control is one of the offices for which the Prime Minister selects an indivi dual as his colleague?—The Prime Minister, upon the formation of the Government, would submit to the So vereign the name of the individual whom he conaidered to be best qualified to fill the office of President of the Board of Control; and supposing there were a vacancy in the office atter the Government had been formed, the Prime Minister would take the pleasure of the Crown upon the appointment of a person to hold that office. With regard to the Secretaries of the Board of Con trol, are those appointments made precisely in the same way as the Secretaries of the Home Department and of the Admiralty, by the joint action of the Prime Minister and tat the department?—By joint action. The Presi dent of the Board of Centro' would probably consider that the Prime Minister was reap .nsible for the general conduct of the affairs of the Government, and would be ready to acquiesce in the app inttnent of any cepisb!e man te the office; he might expre s a wish in favour o' some persse in whom he bad particular coufi fence; but I d r tot recollect any practical difficulties in the adjust ment of those things. Are the salaries of the President and Secretaries of the Board of Control paid in a different form eons the salaries oi the other public officer. , ?—Yes, they aro paid from the re venues of the East India Comp Any. Under an Act of Parliament directing that?—Under an Act of Parliament. I, the First Lord of the Treasury a governor, ex ogich, of any public chariies; of Christ's llospa al, for instance, er any of those institutions 7—l think tea. I was a governor of the Charter-house, but not as First Lord of the Treasury. The First Lord is an er-ogicio trustee of the British Museum and of the National Gal lery; I do not thick he is ot any public charities. Besides the Governor-General, whet other offices are there in India to which the Prime Minister virtually ap points?—l think he would confsr with others upon the appointment of the governor of Madras, the governor of liembay, and the commander of the forces at each ef the presidencies. In the latter case, the Commander-in• Chief, the President of the Board of Control, and the Prime Minister, would meat together and discuss the qualifications of the persons who might be considered candidates for the chief military command. The ap peintment afterwards submitted to the Crown would be the result of this concert, and an agreement that such an officer had upon the whole the fairest claim. Can the Court of' Directors of the East India Company appoint to any of those (Bees without the consent of the Government here?—Their respective powers are exactly defined by law; the power of objection on the part of the East India Company, and the power of the Crown to make the appointment; a reference to the Act will show exactly it stands.

SIR IL PEEL ON OFFICIAL SALARIES. (Contiuned frern The-Sun et . 'Tuesday.) Taking. the office of First Lord of the Treasury, are there aty other emoluments or advantages now belong ing to that office beyond what are stated in the liat be:ore the Committee?—The First Lord of the Treasury has 5,0001,. a-year, and there is also a house attached to the office; ea I . happened to haverAbeasse in the imme diate neighbourhood, as conveniently 'situated for the duties of office and of Parli-sment. I did not occupy the official house as a private residence; but it is very pos sible that a Minister, not having a house in the neigh bourhood, might find it very convenient to cccupy the official house. Do you know of any other advantages, either in the way of emolument or in any other way, which are at tached to the office of First Lard of the Treasury 2—No. He has an allowance for two private secretaries, and he has this house_, which, if be does not occtify, it is not an advantage to him. Is it any disadvantagq—l believe so; he pays for the furniture on taking possession of it. Ido not recollect whether he pays the rates or not. You paid for the furniture on entering 2-1 paid my predecessor for the furniture, receiving a payment from my successor; I never occupied the house as a residence. I allowed occasionally commissions of inquiry to occupy some of the rooms. There aro no other advantages, except the house at tached to that office?—None whatever. Are you aware whether any of the other first-class offices in this list have any other pecuniary advantage besides those stated in the list? —There is the patronage of ffice; except that, I am not aware of any; all tees and gratuities of every kind are abolished. When I was first appointed Secretary of State there was an allowance for outfit that has been abolished; un allowance for a cer tain amount of plate. To which of the offices was that allowance attached? —lt was allowed to the Secretaries of State, and 1 think to the First Minister; it was paid from the civil l;et; it was not a large allowance; it has been abolished altogether. Do you know whether. in the case of any of these offices ie former times, any allowance was matte fir a house if no house was attached?—l think not; I think there never was a house attached to the Secretary of State for the Home DvArtment. The First Lord of the. Ad miralty has always had a house, the First Lurd of the Trtisurv, the Ciaticellor of the Exchequer, and some of the Lords of the Admiralty. You said that there is an allowance made to the First Lord of the Treasury for two private secretaries; is that allowance made it' the private secretaries happen to be in the House of Commons?—The private secretary would not be entitle 'l to retain his seat in Parliament it •he received a salary, because the number of offices the holders of which are allowed to sit in Parliament is -Ince last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001, hut 1,1*31. 1 ls. 10,1. only was a'vaneed.

Is th patronage which is nominally in the hands 01 he Crown, in realty in the harele of the First Lord 0 , he Treasury?—Subetatitially. I do not mean to sae hat the whole paeretiage of the Stets is in the hands o , he First Lard Of the Treasury, because the patronage if the °the- departments i.l consieerable. The Church patronage of the Crown, with Ohio bel ngs to Vie Lord Ch ance l lor , i s virtually dis eo• ed 0 . according to th e a d v i ce o f the Fi rs t L ar d ce the l'revsusy. the exception of that How is this power of the Prime Minister defined with respect to Governinrnt pettoeage ?—The power is no t strictly refined. The diplomatic appointments are dis posed 4 f immediately on the advice of the Secretary of State for Forsign Affairs; but the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs would naturally confer on all important appointments with the First Lord of the Treasury; so, with regard to other offices, I appre hend there is, or that there ought to be, that intimate concert and cordial union between the persons holding the hightst offices in the state, that they would confer together upon every important appointment; 1 mean, that each head of a d epartmen t would confer with the First Lord of th e T reasury; for examp l e , t h at no very important coloni a l appointment wou ld b e ma d e without prsvious com mun i cation between the C o l on i a l Secretary and the First Lord of the Treasury. The First Lerd ot the Treasury would not make an appoint (tient in any department but his owe; officially and formally, it would be made by the Minister who pre sided over the detertment, but there would probably be communicatii n between that Minister and the First. Lord of the Treasury in respect to important appoint ments. With regard to the patronage of the Church, is not that mere directly and entirely at the disposal of the Prime Minister than is tee patreuage of the various de partments?—With respect to the Church patronage of the Crowe, except that portion of it which is exercieed by the Lord Chancellor, and which is of very Con• siderable amount, I consider that he First Lord of tea Treasury would be responsible for the disposal of the emcee ot the Church patronage. That includes the eppoietments of the archbishops and bishop •?—The archbishops, the bishops, t .e deans, and all the Crown living; to which the Lord Chenceilor does not appoint.

It is more controlled by public opinion, .and the influ encemenr A th e n d press,th: conscience e f n na ct o r mare r t , h , s o p s e ni tr. l ty in Parlia . Then in taking into account that the p-cnniary emolument is 5,0001. a year, all this patronage i s also to be taken into consideration as it was in for mer times, though perhaps it is not appropriated so dir ect l y to the Minister's family as it was in former times? —beedoubt the selection of persons for the highest eln .es in the s=ate is a very great privilege, and a very great trust, and if the Minister's relatives art! qualifi e d, i t no doubt, a great advantage that he is enabled to confer upon his relatives appointments of considerable value. Has not the Prime Minister the absolute disposal of all other Cabinet appointments?—That must very much depend tipon the personal character and influence of the Prime Minister. I suppose Mr. Pitt appointed hi, own colleagues. When Mr. Pitt had a quarrel with the Lord Chancellor (Thurlow), it ended by the King requiring the Lord Chancellor to resign; but the power of a Minister to appoint or remove his colleagues is by no weans an absolute one; I do not think you can consider it at power as a branch of patronage. The appointment of Ministers is sometimes the result of a combination of parties, rather than the act of the Prime Minister. Speak g gm nerally, however, t h e Crown would certainly he i; fluenced by the advice of the Prime Minister in the lection of his colleagues. The charge of forming the Government is left almost exclusively to the Prime Minister. Does not the existence of the Government depend upon the Prime Minister, inasmuch as be is the pivot upon which the whole Government turns?—lt is diffi ct It to give an answer to that question; Lord Chatham at the time of his greatest official power was not the Prime Minister of this country. Lord Chatham was never First Lord of the Treasury—he was Secretary of State at the time when th e great military suceesses of the war, which ended with the peace of 1763, were achieved. Afterwards, when he fo med the Govern ment, in 1766, he held only the office of Lord Privy Seal. If the Prime Minister tend , rs he resignation to the Sovereign, is not that v_evally a 0 ss len of th e Mi nistry?—lt probably woad be, ha the chief ar.ppoq of a Government has no: always been the Prime 2dinbter.

There is a great misunderetandieg with regsr dto the patronage of the Revenue. The pa tronage of the Revenue Departments is in general deter mined by certain rives and axed principles. Men rise, as they rise in the army, after a certain length of service, according to established regulations. The construction to be placed upon those regulations is with the Boards of Revenue; the power of the Treasury is very limited, except as to the appointment of the Commissioners of the Revenue Boards and the higher officers. In former tunes the Treasury had the power of ap pointing the Collectors and Comptrollers, and all thu nigher offices of the Revenue?—l believe so. Do not those appointments now, under the present re gulations, go almost by seniority, according to the re commendations of the different boards of the Treasury? —Yes; they are of no value whatever for the purpose of Parliamentary influence, or for the purpose of con ferring private favour. When you speak of the disagreeable duty of alminis tering the patronage in the hands of the Prime Minister, you allude tl the difficulty of adjusting the rival claims of parties seeking such appointments?—Yes• But at the same time there is an immense amount of patronage, of which the Prime Minister has the abso lute disposal, and by which he can make provision for dependents and relatives, provided they pss-sess the ne eosary qualificlations?—The power is much more limited than you suppose. ridie pldr..nac,e to which the Prime Minister is directly or indirectly entitled, the patronage in the Church, the patronage in the Judicial Courts, he patron age in the diplotnatte depsrtment. the Governor-General ship of India, the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland, and other d-partsnentA; must nut the salaries and ernolu- Ments of those appointments amount to may hundred thousand pounds a year?—lt may be several hundred thousands.

And that surely is one of the objects for which high race is desired; in f4ct, is not the exercie of west power as much an object of ambition to a man as the ac tual emolument he recetves?—Certainly.

Still the directors did not at present, as stated in the report, recommend the appropriation of this surplus. Bat he also look( d with satisfaction on the advantages which had been conferred by the company on the travelling portion of the public in the payment of compensation to persons meeting with railway acci dents under circumstances that entailed much suffer ing, privation, and great loss of time. These parties had borne their voluntary testimony, to the inestimable boon they had derived from the company, and which timely assistance, in his opinion, entitled the company to the support of the public generally, on these grounds of philanthropy and benevolence, which called on the m an y w h o were happily exempt from the effects of such caivalities, to contribute cheerfully for the benefit of the few who unfortuna7ely did suffer from them.—(llear, hear.) Bearing in mind the difficulties invariably inseparable from the introduction of a new system— yet a new system, he would be allowed to say, as ad vantageous as it was novel—he did think the progress they had made since they last met might fairly be considered as an evidence that the system was steadily gaining ground with th,i public, and becoming gradually epprectVed by those who travelled on rail we) s, aud as an earnest of a future sucpess calcula'ed to encourage them to labour in extending its utility ' and its general application. The company was in cordial co-operation with all the leading lines of the kingdom, and the directors were thankful fur the th gree of courtesy and accommodation they had always received from the ditlerent railway companies ; and they confidently cherished the hope that at no ois taut day all the southern lines in the country would soon have so far adopted the system es would enable the foreigner travelling to England to complete the entire journey from London to Paris under the advantages of the principle of the company. As a company on precisely similar prin ciples had recently Leon established in France, met with the same object, that circumstance would go far in proving the utility and acceptab!eness of the system generally. lie had before him many practical proofs of the individual benefits derived from the operations of this institution, but he would only trouble tl.e meeting by reading one letter from a party who had received compensation through the instrumentality of the company. The writer stated that he was happy to say he was doing well, and better than he had a right to expect after so serious an accident, and he indulged the hope that, with the assistance of Divine Providence, he would be able shortly to resume his ordinary duties. The writer had also to express his heartfelt gratitude for the kind consideration he bad experienced from the directors of the company, and likewise from the directors of the London aud North- Western Railway for the liberal manner in which • they had met his case, and for the kind consideration they had shown to his family in addition to the forty guineas that he had teen awarded as compensation from this company. The writer wished his letter to be made public, in order that other firemen arid engiee-drivers might also lie induced to insure in this company. He signed his name as John Haigh, an engine -driver connected with the Peterborough station. He (the (Chairman believed the publication of sudh a letter through the press would tend to establish the system in the estimation of the public; and he might have cited various other similar instances. But he must mention, by way of contrast, the unfortunate accident that toe': place recently at Covvlais.

Whilst performing these offices of mercy be waa deeply pained in having regularly to pass the door of one poor woman, who had sustained very serious in jury, and whose case was almost hopeless, but whO had thoughtlessly omitted to take one of the company's tickets when starting on her journey. At the trifling cost of threepence, 1,0001, was insured to the first-class passenger; for twopence, 5001. to the second•class ; and for one penny, 2001. for the third-class ; and in not a few of the thirty-four cases relieved during the last twelve months, the cost to the sufferers had only been one penny in addition to the railway fare. At the last. meeting the directors retained some of the shares for the purpose of allotting them to parties who might be able and desirous to actively promote the extension of the company's system. 3,250 shares had since that time been carefully allotted upon this principle, and the directors pledged themselves for the future to exercise the same discretion in allotting the few shares that might still remain in their hands, always giving a preference to persons who expressed their anxiety and had the power personally to pro mote the success of the institution. The directors, it would be recollected, had once entertained the idea of going to Parliament for a new Bill to extend the company's powers, but in con sequence of communications which had taken place between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and one of the directors on this subject, circumstances arose rendering it better not to press fur their Bill, and therefore it had been abandoned in the meantime. He would now assure the proprietors in his own name, and in the name of those with whom he had the privhege to work, that as regards the past they cordially proferred their gratuitous services, and as regards the future they pledged themselves to con tinue to exercise the same vigilance and attention to the interests of those who bad favoured them with their confidence as they had already shown.

The second half -yearly meeting of the shareholders f this important and invaluable company to the public took place yesterday, at the offices of the com pany, 3, Old Broad -street. Mr. John Dean Paul, the chairman of the com pany, took the chair shortly after twelve o'clock. The usual formal business having been gone through, and the minutes of the last meeting having been confirmed, The CHAIRMAN called upon the Secretary tp read the report. The SECRETARY (Mr. A. Beattie) then read the following report : " At this secod half-yearly meeting the directors are happy to be able to report a decided increase in the amount of premiums over that of the previous half-year; and they conaratuluts the proprietors that the comps! y is now established on a firm basis, with every prosp ct of a steady increase in its busitte:s. " The abstract statement or the accounts of the com pany, to the 30th June last, have already been placed in .he hands of the proprietors; and from these it will be • een that the amount of premiums received during the axle-year which terminated on that day amounted to I 2,0871. Os. 41., and as the income of the society for the rev:ous half-year was 1,4211. 7e. Id., the increase its the ..mount of premiums received in the last six menthe, over trait of the first six months, is 61151. 133. 31 The entire receipts of the )ear just closed are 3,503/ 7s. 51, the expenditure, including the sums pail ea- compensation to parties injured, amounts to 2,4801. ss. 6,1, aid at er estimating the liabilities of the company !or charges which were nut paid when the accounts were male up, and deducting them, the net balance amounts i to 6781. Is. 110., which, for the first year of a new com pany the dire,tors conceive will be regarded as a most sttis - actory resu:t. " This balance, nulvess reduced hereafter by payments for compensation on some of the politi,s issued prior to the 30th < f June, will yield about eight per cep'. on the capital paid up; and though f,r the present the direc tors cannot recommend its division, they trust that at the next hale-yearly meeting they will be in a position to pay into: eat to the proprietors on the capital; and unless it should be deemed necessary to reserve a pox , lion of the surplus to go in diminution of preliminary expenses, a dividend of an almost equal amount to the interest may likewise then be paid. " The obvious course which the directors would sea tore to recommend to the proprietors at this meeting, however, is to reserve this balance until the risks upon the old insurances are run off. " The issue of the company's tickets, which, at the date of the last half-yearly meeting of the proprietors, was established on twenty-seven railways, has since been extended to five more, so that the public can now obtain insurance tickets on the following lines of ra 1- way:—The Louden anti North-Western Railway, and all its branches ; Eistern Counties and Norfolk, and all its branches; Great Western, and all its branches. Mid land, including the Leeds and Bradford and the Birm ingham arid Bristol; Lancashire and Yorkshire, and all the lines connected with it; York, Newcastle, and B,r vk ick, and all the lines connected with it; York and North Midland, and all the lines connected with it; Great Northern, and all the lines connected with it; Lan caster and Carlisle, and all the lines connected with it; East Lancashire, and all the lines connected with it; South Devon, and all the lines connected with it; New castle and Carlisle, and all the lines connected with it; Maryport and Carlisle, and all the lines connected with it; Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and all the lines connected with it; North Staffordshire, and all the lines connected with it; South Staffordshire, and all the lines connected with it; Eastern Union, and all the lines connected with it; Chester arid Holyhead, and all the lines connected with it; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, and all the lines connected with it; North- Western, and all the lines connected with it; Taff Vale, and all the lines connected with it; Cockermouth and Workington, and all the lines connected with it; Stock ton and Hartlepool, and all the lines connected with it; Leeds and Thirsk, and all the lines connected with it; Caledonian, and all the lines connected with it; Edin burgh and Glasgow, an d a ll t h e lines connected with it; North British, and all the lines connected with it; Scot tish Central, and all the lines come eted with it; Scottish Midland Junction, and all the lines connected with it; Aberdeen. and all the lines corm cted with it; Edin burgh, Perth, and Dundee, and all the lines connected with it; Dundee and Pertb, and Aberdeen Junction, and all the lines connected with it; and in the course of the next week the issue of tickets will be establishel on the South Wales and Shrewsbury and Chester Railways. " The number of single journey tickets issued during the year ending 30th June, has been 24,783 first-class; 41,515 second-class; 43.771 third-class; total, 110,074; and the periodical tickets issued in the same period has been 2,808. " There is still an unwillingness on the part of two or three railway boards to sanction the issue of insurance tickets on their lint s. The plea of alarming passengers has been put forward as the ground of this refusal, as it provision against a possible dauger made danger more certain or imminent. It is not usual for a man to be more afraid of death because he insures his life, or that he lives in fear of his hou,,e being burnt because he in sures against fire. But, however, your directors have tried every reasonable and respectful means of influenc ing the railway boards in question to alTard the oppor tunity cf tifecting insurances on those lines, as well as elsewhere, which they have reason to believe the public would value. And as your directors can adopt no other means, they wait the eflect of time and public opinion upon the gentlemen who conduct those railways, and they hope that, ere long, they may consent to the issue of insurance tickets, so that the advantages which the company holds out to travellers may be enjoyed upon levery railway in the kingdom. The directors stated in the last report that the principle of effe.aing insurance against railway accidents was beginning to he appreciated in France and America; they have just learned that a company is now formed in Paris, under the authority of an Act passed on the 22.1 and 231 April last, which will commence the issue of tickets on the principal railways in France as soon as the necassary arrat , gements are completed. The pro mot, ra of that c ,mpany are also a bunt to enter into ne getattions with the Governments of the principal con tinental states of Europe. to obtain permission to estab lish branches in the principal cities, viz., Vienna, Bet lin, Baden, &c. Your dir.ctors cannot help regarding this cotite.mp'uted t xicrision of the system originally com menced by this company as a favourable feature in its tuture prospects; for it must be evident, as the know ledge of the principle becomes more widely spread, the probability of travellers acquiring the habit of insuring vri'l be increase al. motion. Mr. G. STLVENS said that he was anxious to say something before the report and the accounts were adopted, because at the last half-yearly meeting h e had movtd a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. On the same occasion he had stated that he hoped the company would be able by t h e pre sent time to pay a fair dividend, a n d a lib eral re muneration for the directors ; but he regretted to find that the data upon which he bad fairly based tins ex ppntation had been upset by the directors, in-their discontinuance of the extensive system og advertising the company, which had previously made their busi neis fructify so remarkably. He had.bein connected • with the company in the management of its advertis ing department, and although his official connexion with the company was now strered, he did not rise " In the last session a Bill was introduced into Parlia ment by Mr. Newd-gate, for the purpose of roakh.g it compulsory on railway c om p an i es to provide medical ai•,isrance to parties who may be irjured by railway accident, itt he present state of the law no action being mair.teinable against a railway eornpaiy by a surgeon called io by the servant of a rail way cotopany, to fender st . :s4tance to a passengcr who has been accidentally hurt upon a railway.
