The Eagle Company held -a policy for an assurance of 5391. in the Albion Company as security for An advance, the payment of which policy was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it was effected the feet of the assured party having been a man of in- temperate habits was concealed from the office. 'I he chief evidence turne : upon the question es to the degree of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the resu:t was, that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for 401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies tinder the present syste , ", and shows that the only mode by wh eh absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of vote ling them selves in every case by dur inquiries before the grantim f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the com pleteness of such inquiries by bolding themselves precluded from raising any future question. In the present 'case two offices are found to he diametrically opposed in their opinions as It what can properly invalidate a ,laim, and yet the public are expected to be able to goitre themselves a,;aixst such ,!outingcnces. Sinsilar cases have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously Injure the progress of life assurance. 'the very principle upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people wilo would be the first to resort to its advantages are the first t,) be deterred."—Times, July I I, 1850.

ATIIOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2801.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number Issued in the twelve months preceding. Prop isals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,125/. 6s. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the c - immencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assuraw es were effected to the extent of 110,972/. lbs 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. 1 ls. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9001. 16s. 6,1., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. I Id. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,700/., but 1,183/. I Is. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four m nths +hey had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de I'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archhish p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque 'le Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• siderab!e amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishep Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prosrects.

This work contains RR accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physi3logy of the Reproductive Organs. It un tertanately happens • that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence And vicious habits, while suffering from, their invariable con sequencw, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erre :wooly entertained that those complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence. which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

The following is extracted from the evidence an nexed to the House of Commons' Report on Official Salaries : Sir Robert Peel, Baronet, a Member of the House, examined i You have filled a great number of most important offices in the Government of this country, will you be kind-enough to enumerate them?--I held the office of Under Secretary of State in the War and Colonial de partment from 1810 to 1812. From that office I was removed to the cffice of Chief Secretary for Ireland in August 1810, and remained Chief Secretary with three Lord Lieutenants, from 1812 to 1818; with the Duke of Richmond, during a portion of his lieutenancy; with Lord Whitworth during the whole period of his lieutenancy; and with Lord Talbot, during a por tion of his lieutenancy. At the commencement of 1822, I was Secretary of State for the Home Department, and remained in that office till the spring of 1827, when Mr. Canning's Government was appointed. In December, 1828, I egain accepted the same office, that of Secre tary of State for the Home Department, and retained it until November, 1830, when on the meeting of Par liament the Duke of . Wellington's Government re signed, and Lord Grey became First Minister. In Dec, tuber; 1834, I accepted the office of First Lord of the Treasury, together with that of Chancellor of the Exchequer, and remained in office holding those two appointments until April, 1835, not more than four or five months. In September, 1841, I accepted the office of First Lord of the Treasury, without the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer, and remained in office till July, 1846. From thu general experience you must have had in those different public offices, the Committee are anxious that you should afford them any assistance in your power in coming to a right opinion as to whether any, and if any, what reductions are capable of being made, without injury to the public service, in any of those different departments which have been referred to them for consideration; I could first place in your hands a paper which has been delivered in by - the Chancellor of the Exchequer, containing a list of the offices referred to in the first part of tho reference, namely, those held during the pleasure of the Crown by Members of either House of Perlis ment voted in the annual estimates?—l will take the reference to the Committee. The Committee is ap pointed "To inquire into the salaries and emolu ments of offices held during the pleasure of the Crown by Members of either House of Parliament voted in the annual estimates ; and also into the salaries and emoluments of judicial offices in the superior courts of law and equity in the United Kingdom, and into the re tiring pensions allotted to the judges, and also into the experie of diplomatic establishments charged on the Consolidated Fund." I will first mention those branches of inviry with respect to which the Committee can obtain from other quarters more full and raore recent information t hats that which I can give. With respect for instance to the diplomatic establishments, it is scarcely necessary, on that account, for me to give an opinion upon them. I will however, take the liberty of referring the Committee to a return which was presented in 1830, showing the charge of his Majesty's diplomatic service abroad, from 1822 to 1829, both inclusive ; distinguishing the several heads of charge. At that period the charge for the diplo matic service did not come under the annual notice of Parliament ; it was provided from the Civil List, not by vote of Parliament. In the year 1828.28, Lord Aberdeen took a general review of the expenses of the diplomatic establishments, and after that review so un dertaken by him, there were considerable reductions in the amount of charge. The paper gives the expenses from the 'sth of January, 1822, to the sth of January, 1830, both inclusive. It distinguishes the various mis sions from the Consuls and other heads of charge, and the total charge of every kind under the heads of extra ordinary and incidental expenses, commissions under the treaties with foreign powers, missions to the new States of America, consular establishments, pensions to retired ministers; -superannuation allowances to consuls. It embraces,- therefore, every charge of every kind on account of diplomatic and consular service. Taking the account from 1825, I find that the following are the charges for the several years from 1825 to 1829. In 1825, the total charge was 418,637/.; in 1826, 459,5381.; in 1827, 412,859/ ; in 1828, 407,1171.; and in 1829, it was reduced to 366,004/. There may have been causes accounting in part for that reduction, as, for in stance, the discontinuance of some missions. I do not bear.in mind the details, but I know that Lord Aberdeen, being then Secretary of State for the Foreign Depart ment, undertook the consideration of the whole expendi ture, and I consider that the saving which took place in 1829 was mainly attributable to the measures which he took to revise the diplomatic establishment. I believe that in subsequent years the reductions made by him were fully adopted by the Government which succeeded, and were carried in aortae instances still further. The progress Of reduction was continued. I think that is the whole information I can give with respect to diplomatic service of any importance. With respect to judicial offices, I cannot give the Committee any information upon them so good as that which they can derive from her sources. You were for a long time Secretary of State for the Home Department; is it your opinion, looking at the general scale if allowances to the judges, that any dimi nution can be made in them without detriment to the public service?—During the period when I was Secre tary of State, there was an- increase made both to the salaries of the judges and to their retiring allowances; and.l am sure that that increase was founded at the time upon the difficulty of inducing men of the highest cha racter at the bar, possessing the qualifications moat re quired for the judicial office, to accept it. In what year was that?—lt, was in 1825, during Lord Liverpool's Government. Are you of opinion that any reductions might now be made without producing inconvenience with respect to finding fit and adequate persons to undertake those offices?—My attention bas not been much directed to the subject. I have a doubt whether the retiring allow ance of the judge does not hear an undue proportion to the amount of his salary, and whether that allowance might not admit of some reduction. Have you Considered the proportion which those sa laries bear to one another -with reference to one or two of the offices of which the salaries are the largest, for instance, that of the Master of the Rolls?—I have not given any particular attention to that subject. Mr. Walter—Aro you aware of any particular occa sion on, which the difficulty to which you have alluded was experienced, of inducing suitable men to accept the judicial office?-4 am speaking now with respect to a period more than twenty years ego; I do not bear in m►nd the names of any particular members of the bar who declined judicial office; the increase of salary was made in the year 1825, and I think the ground of the increase was a representation from the Lord Chancellor as to the difficulty of inducing men, of the highest qua lifications for judicial office, to abandon the profession. That was the general ground; the particular cases to which that statement may lam referred I do not bear in mind. • Mr. Deedes—Supposing that prefessional incomes now were on the average less than at the time you hare al luded to, perhaps that difficulty would not exist to the same amount at the present time?-0f course, so far as that was the ground of the increase; hut I have no in formation upon the fact, whether they do make less or net. Chairman—During the time that you wore First Lord of the Treasury, from IS-11 to 1846, was any difficulty experienced in securing the greatest talent at the bar to fill the office of judge? —I do not r( collect any instance during that period. Mr. Ellice—Are you aware of any distinction between the duties of the Master of the Rolls and those of the other judges in the Court of Clthe: ry below the Great seal, which would render it IieCCSS3f y or expedient to pay a larger salary to the Ma ;ter of the Rolls than to t.iiher of the Vier-Chancellors, for instance?—No; I am not aware of any; I have not paid much attention to that subyect. Mr. Bright—Will you Etat° whether the union of ju dicial and political offices in the Lord Chancellor is not a th ll e ow oc a c n a c s e io d n ep of art i m nc e r n e t a , si i e n g asm th u e e,h 7peusts in the retiring Chancellor after his elevation t not agsoionag ahachckantgoehoifs pro fession Go vernment there is a change of Chancellors, and the Lord fession becomes entitled large retiring allowance; and isit not the fact, in consequence , o a same time?—l 4prehend thatt persons that receivingare three re or four ex-Chancellors receiving large pensions at the tiring 41lowenew are, ra' England, Lord Brenham and Lord Lyndhurst; in Ireland, Sir Edward Sugden and Lord Plunkett. If I am correct in the enumeration, there must be four at leant. Is there any insurmountable objection to the separa tion of those offices, the judicial and political, S) that the frequent possession of a retiring allowance by an ex- Chancellor might be avoided ?—I do not know that there is any insuperable obstacle. It is a matter which has (Len been taken into consideration, but I think the general result of the consideration has been in fawr of retaining the political and the judicial functions united. There has been so much advantage to the Cabinet from having the assist a n ce o f t h e h i ghest equ i ty j u d ge , Oat objections have always be en ma d e t o t h e separation of You do net imagine that the frequent change of the highest judge in the realm, a change arising from poli tical considerations alone, is prejudicial to the interests of justice on the whole?--I have not sufficient proles sioeal knowledge to answer very positively. I have no proof befsre me of 'any actual injury sustaine.l by it. It is a very complicated and extensive subject, to which it would be diffi3ult to do justice in an answer to a question. Mr: Evans—Are you of opinion that eves if the judges' retiring allowance were more than it is, they would retire any sooner than the state of their health obliged them to retire?—l think there is great unwil lingness on the part of a judge to abandon his office until he is really disabled from performing the duties of it. ,Mr. Bright—Have you any information with regard to the number and the labours of the judges in Ireland?— No; it is very long since I held office in Ireland. My impression is, that comparing the duties of the judges in Ireland with those of the judges in England, the judicial establishment in Ireland is large. Are you aware that there have been alterations in the system in Ireland by the establishment and extension of Assistant Barristers' Courts, by which the labours of the assizes have been very much diminished, and thet, in' some cases, the progress of the judge is rather a pro gress of obiservation than of labour?—l have that gene ral opinion; bat the Committee would get much bet:er information respecting the amount of the judicial busi ness in Ireland from other sources. It has not come particularly under my review, asd any estimate that I can form must be a very vague one. The Committee can get information as to the amount of business done by the Irish courts, and as to the diminution of it, if any, more full and complete than any that I can give. Mr. Ricardo—With regard to the retiring pensions of the judges, do you know what the reason is of a different principle being adopted with respect to the Lord Chacellor, as distinguished from the other judges, with reference to the period of service which en titles him to a pension?—The Lord Chancellor holds his office by a much more precarious tenure than the other judges. He is not independent of the pleasure of the Crown; he is subject to the loss of office from a change in the Government; and that, I apprehend, is the reason for the power to grant to the Lord Chan eel'or a retiring allowance after a very limited period of service. In the case of a judge in one of the superior courts in Westminster-hall, you require a considerable number of years' service before the grant of a pension. Those judges are entirely independent of the Crown, and hold their offices during life. Do you consider the 'Lord Chancellor in the light of a political person, or of a judicial person?—The retiring ension is considered part of the inducement to a man of the highest reputation at the bar to leave the profession, and to embark in political life, being subject to the con tingency of a sudden loss of power. Do you think it impossible to estimate the retiring pensions in the salaries of the judges and of the Lord Chancellor?—l think you are liberty, in calculating the t )tal emoluments of the judge, to consider the retire ment which he has in prospect, as well as the amount of actual salary which is paid to him during his tenure of office; it is a fair element in considering the amount of salary to be enjoyed by him. Gould it not all be put into the salary; could not you give him a certain salary, and leave it to the individual himself to provide for the future3—You would propose that the salary of the judge should be increased to, say 6,0001. a year, or any other given sum, instead of 5,0001., and that there should be no retiring allowance. That the contingent interest in the retiring allowance should be merged in actual salary, as the judge would of course remain entirely independent of the will of the Crown, and hold his office subject only to removal on an address of either House of Parliament, I think you would find that the judges would retain their offices a very long period. Your objection to the judge being left to himself to provide fir the future is that he would ret Ain his office longer than he would be capable of exercising the func• tions of it properly?--There would be a tendency to that in the case of al office entirely independent of the Crown, and from which the holder is removable only on an address of either House of Parliament. If you allotted to the office a high salary and no retiring al lowance, there would be a tendency in the judge t) retain the office and the high salary to the /vest moment, in stead of retiring into privacy, there being no provision on retirement; I think that would be the result. That is an argument for retiring pensions generally, in all cases, is it not?—No, not in cases where the person holds office subject to the pleasure of the Crown; but in the case of offices held for life, or quemdiu se Gene yes sera, there is an advantage in holding out the prospect of a retiring allowance after long and faithful service rather than increasing the salary of the office. Mr. Cobden--Might not the objection be partly met by fixing a certain period of life beyond which the judge should not occupy the bench?—lf you advert to the his tory of the judges, you will find it a very delicate and difficult matter to limit the periol of their service; you will find several judges who have attained the greatest eminence, have rendered the greatest ,service, and have performed their duties most actively and usefully at very advanced 'periods of life. Some cases there certainly have been, cases which must be familiar to you all, in which complaint has been made of a judge retaining his office much too long; but still I thi n k any precise limi tation of age would b e f oun d very d i f fi cu l t . A ru le that a judge should not rem a i n in office alter6s or 70 years of age, might deprive the public of the advantage of the learning and experience of judges who might be perfectly competent for public service. Mr. Bright—ls not the inconvenience to which you have alluded found to arise frequent'y with regard to the bench of bishops; do not they often retain office beyond the period at which they are capable of per forming their duties ?—I do not know an instance of resignation by a bishop. 2dr. Cobden—Do not you think that public opinion would very much tend to correct any tendency on the part of judges to remain upots the bench after their fa culties were no longer equal to the duties of the office? —lt has not done so in some remarkable caws. Mr. Ricardo—lf a judge would remain in office be cause he had no retiring pension, may he not also re main in office in order to get the difference between his retiring pension and actual salary?—That certainly is possible; but the judges are influenced in retaining office by higher motives. There is an unwillingness on their part to retire from the discharge of active duties, and to receive retiring pensions, while they feel themselves able to render public service. Chairman—lnstances of judges retiring are not very numerous, even with the temptation now held out?—Not very. Mr. Bright—With regard :to the office of Lord Chancellor, when the judicial and political offices are united as they are at prekent, is there not danger that the Government, seeking for a very serviceable man as a political character, may in some degree over look that which is required for the highest judge in the realm, presiding in the Court of Chancery? —The political advantage of a Lord Chancellor to a Government would b 3 entirely relinquished if ho were not a man of the highest eminence in the profession. A Government which adopted an inferior man as Lord Chancellor fur the purpose of receiving aid from him, in a political capacity, distinct from professional service, would lose immensely in the estimation of the profes sion. It would be their manifest interest to take a man of the highest eminence in the profession as Lord Chan cellor. Mr. Cobden—Have there not been inst ances w i t hi n your recollection of men being called to the office of Lord Chancellor purely on political grounds, and who have notoriously not been suited to the office in respect of legal attainments? —Political considerations m ust ne cessarily influence, to a certain extent, the appointment of the Lord Chancellor , because , as the office is a poli tical as well as a judicia l one, it is necessary th a t th e person accepting the ctlice should concur in p o li t i ca l sentiments generally with the administration with which he acts. To that extent, therefore, political considera tions do influence the appointment. But a Government would naturally select for the office cf Lord Chancellor the lawyer of the highest eminence generally concurring with them in political opin ion. Chairman—We will n ow g o on wi th the list before you of offices held during t h e p l easure of the Crown, usually filled by M em b e rs of either House o f P ar li ament. Looking at the reductions which were made in 1830 upon the salaries in 1780, as stated here, are you cf opinion that in any of those departments in the list be fore you, further reductions can be made without detri ment to the public service? —It would be impossible for me to prove that a salary of 5,0001. a year is exactly the sum which ought to be assigned to a particular office. The Committee will see that this is a matter in capable of demonstration. Doe cannot prove that 4,800/, might not be t•uffioient in future, when 5,000/. ht:a bten•sufficient; I can only state that any opinion, the result of exp ,rience, is strongly adverse, upon public grounds, to a diminution of the emoluments at present received by those who fill the chief offices of the State; I have a strong impression that the scale of emolument is not more than is just, so far as individuals are con cerned; and that a reduction of it would be impolitic with reference to the interests of the public service. I think that, upon the whole, the comparative scale is not an unfair one; If I recollect rightly, the chief officers of the Government, the three Secretaries of State, the Chancellor of the Excht quer, and the First L or d o f th e -Treasury, receive now 5,000/. aear y; the First Lord of the 'Admiralty, an office of equal importance, receives 4,5001. a year, but then he has_a house att ac h e d t o hi s office; the President o f the Board of Co ntrol , I believe, has 3,500/. a year; t he other offices a re upon a l ower scale; I am not p r epared to advise any alterati o n i n th e comparative scale. W. Walter—There gtre clues _ill which the offices of Chancellor of the Exchequer and First Lord of the Treasury have been held by the same person; has it teen usual that such person should receive the emolu ments attached to each office?—ln 1830 it was proposed by the Committee of that year that where the two offices were united there should be a saving in the double salary to the amount of 2,500/. a year; that is to say, the person holding the two ofli:es together should re ceive 7,5001. a year. I believe that mine has been the only else in which a person since that period has held the two offices together ; and in consequence of that siiggeetion of the Committee I receive I a salary at the rate of 7.5001. a year during the few months I held the two offices. In - former periods, I believe, when Lord North held the offic,s, he received the double salary, and I think Mr. Pitt did. Ido not know whether the double salary amounted then to as much as it does at present; but I think there was no abatement from the salary assigned to the two offices when held by one person. Ii not such a combination of offices unlikely to occur again, in consequence of the great increme in the basi ness?—Judging from the labour to be performed, I think it not likely to be undertaken again; when re appointed to office in 1841, I determined not to under take the double duties, after my experience of them in 1834-5. Chairman—With regard to the Secretaries of State, is there anything in the nature of the duties attached to either of those offices which you think would entitle it to a higher salary than the others?—The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs is subject, perhaps, to some expenses to which the others are not liable; but he has the privilege of an official house, if he chooses to avail himself of it. There' are several other offices which the Committee have been informed have no very onerous duties attached to them; for instance, the Lord Privy Seal, the Pay master-General, and the Master of the Mint; will you favour the Committee with your opinion as to how far it is desirable that those offices should be maintained at their present salary2—l think it would be desirable that the Committee should advert to the progress which has been made of late years in reducing the emoluments re ceived by persons tilling high offices in the State. It is because that progress has been made, because the tendency has been to increase the labour and to reduce the advantages and emoluments of office—(l speak now of pecuniary advantages and emoluments)—that I come to the conclusion that it would not be advantageous fa the public interests to carry the reduction further. Mr. Bright—l presume you do not apply that spe cially to any particular office, but speak generally ? Speaking generally. I will take the period when I en tered public life, the year 1810. I find that since that period there has been a progressive reduction in official advantages and emoluments, and - an increase in thella hour imposed on public men. The conjoint operation of diminished emolument and increased labour leads me to think that it would not be wise, having regard only to the public interest, to diminish much further the induce ments to enter the public service. To a man who has independent means, tt a considerable extent it may not make any material difference ; but to a person who has not the advantage of hereditary wealth, a man of very great abilities and of great capacity for rendering public service, but of comparatively limited means, the amount of salary may be a serious consideration. Those who observe with satisfaction a departure from the rule acted upon in former times, of confining high public offices to the great families of the aristocracy, or to per sons of great wealth, who rejoice in seeing the dis tinction and advantage of office opened to persons of superior attainments, but of no great wealth or high family connexions, ought to msint tin the policy of at taching liberal salaries to the highest official employ ments. Mr. Cobden—ls it not the fact that that exclusive class to which you refer, do monopolise appointments to those highest situations to which large salaries are as signed?—l think nor. Take the succession of Cabinet Ministers for the last twenty years, do yon not find that nine-tenths of them, or at all events four-fifths of them belong to the aria tocracy ?—I think Cabinet offices of late years have been appropriated very much according to the Parliamentary ability displayed by those who were candidates for them; I cannot say of late years I recollect the case of any eminently distinguished man attached to a party, to whom (when that party came into power) a man of mere wealth, but of inferior attainments, has been pre ferred. Chairman—Will you state to the Committee what the advantages of patronage were at the period when you first entered office, and what they are at present?—ln the advantages and emoluments of office I include the opportunities of a Minister to benefit himself and the members of his family; and I will compare the extent of advantages and emoluments of that kind in the year 1810 with their present extent. First, let me take the state of sinecure offices in 1810. In that year a Committee was appointed which had duties to parfJrm very similar to those which are entrust d to this Committee. There was a subsequent Committee on sine cures in 1834, which in its report said, " On consulting the Report of the Select Committee on Sinecure Offices appointed) in 1640, they find that in that year, according to the papers referred to that Committee, there were in existence throughout his Majesty's dominions 242 offices, which, according to the opinion of that Committee, came under the denomination of sinecures, and of which the total net income amounted to 297,0951. per annum. By the return of the sinecure offices now in existence, re ferred to your Committee, it appears that there remain 100 offices of a similar description, the total net emolu nti of which amounts to 97,8031. Now those sine cure c ffices were offices which the Ministers of the Crown had the power in many cases of appropriating either to themselves or to their immediate relatives. In 1782, in the memorable speech made by Mr. Burke upon economical reform, he expressly refers:to some of these sinecures. He says that the nature of those profits which grow out of the public distress is in itself invi dious and grievous; and he proposes to regulate the offices and to diminish the salaries, but still to retai❑ them as sinecure offices available for the reward of public service. Those sinecure offices thus applied as the reward of public service were among the advantages of office. • They were left untouched in 1782, being con sidered the legitimate means of making a provision for the descendants of Ministers. Are you aware how many of those .sinecnres which you state to have existed in 1834 are now in existence? —I presume there are none. There may some remain in which the existing life interest was protected; but the intention of Parliament was to abolish those offices alto gether as a means of reward; if there are any that now exist, they would be subject to reduction on the termina tion of the life interest. Looking at those offices as part of the advantages con nected with holding high offices in the State in 1810, yen are of opinion that the circumstances of their abolition must be taken into consideration in estimating the in ducements to men to take part in the public business of the country ?—I think tho view of the Committee would Fe an imperfect one if they did not consider those things. I do not mean to contend that because those sinecures have been abolished, you must necessarily maintain the existing salaries at their present amount; bet I think that you ought ts compare the inducements which there were at a comparatively recent period to enter into public life, with the inducements that exist at present. Such com parison is one element in the consideration, and the review will be an imperfect one if it be omitted. I show you that in 1810 there were sinecures to the amount of 295,0301. that have been swept away. Some of those offices were applied to the increase of the official emolu ments. Lord North when Prime Minister of this country held also the office of Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. Mr. Pitt when First Lord of the Trea sury held the office of Lord Warden. Lord Liverpool, when First Lord of the Treasury, also held the office of Lord Warden of the Cinque Port:. I apprehend that there was attached to that office not only considerable patronage and a residence by the seaside, but a salary of 4,000/. or 5,0001. n year, which salary was enjoyed by those Ministers, in addition to the salary of the First Lord of the Treasury. I believe that in 1780 the emo luments of Lord North, as Prime Minister, derived from all those sources, were not less than 10,4001. a 3 ear. Here is a case, therefore, in which sinecure offices were among the emoluments and advantages of high office. Those emoluments and advantages have ceased; not, in deed, altogether, because, upon the abolition of sinecure offices many of which had been applied to the increase of official income, and to the reward of public service, Parliament granted to the Crown the means of making some provision for retired Ministers. This report to which I have been referring alludes at the conclusion of it to that provision, in the following terms: —" Your Com mittee, in presenting this statement of the amount of saving which will ultimately accrue to the public from the abolition of sinecure offices, have not overlooked the circumstance, that by the Act of 1817 the Crosyn was empowered to grant pensions as rewards for official ser vices in lieu of these sinecures which were formerly ap plied, to a certain extent, for such purposes. The amount of annual charge which, according to the 57 Geo. 111. c. 65, might be incurred by the public, was limited to 45,0001." Now, . the system of retrenchment has been here also progressive, because that amount of 45,00 0 /. which was allotted to the Crown on the aboli tion of sinecures in the year 1817, was further reduced by the Act which passed in the year 1834, from 45,000/. to 21,600/, "of which," this report says, " according to the last return, pensions to the amount of 16,500/.only were actually granted and in existence.'' The result is that there is now no power of attaching any sinecure office as an increase to the emolum en t s o f a Minister ;* that the amount which now can be appropriated by the Crown as retiring allowances to th ose wt o have held the highest offices in t)_e State cannot excee d 21,6001., anethat practically, it is never likely to reach that amount, since there can bo only a certain number of pensions granted for the tenure of certain offices. Mr. Ellice—By the Act of 1834, is not there another li m it a ti on with respect to the means of a person apply ing for a pension after filling a public office?—There is. No person can now hold one of those pensions with out a declaration that his private means are such as to require an addition to his incorne?—That is quite true; I believe the highest amount of pension is now limited to 2,0001. a year; and the holders of tour offices only can receive that largest amount of pension; that is to say, a pension of 2,000/. cannot be held at the same time by more than four persons who have filled certain specified offices, Whig the highest offices of the State. Do you know to bow many persona it is now paid?—l PRICE -5D,1 think there is one pension of 3,000/. a year, to which the existing Act does not apply. Lord Bexley, I be lieve, receives 3,0001. a year. Ido not know how many other pensions there are. Mr. Cobden—ln speaking of those sinecures, and of the advantage they afford to Ministers of State, do you mean that they were advantageous as furnishing the opportunity of their appropriating one of those sinecures to thquaselv2s, or as patronage which they had to distri bute?—Mr. Burke, in speaking of the great offices of the Exchequer, says, " Efficient Ministers have been their own paymasters. It is true; but their very par tiality has operated as a kind of justice; it was service that was paid. When we look over this Exchequer list, we find it filled with the descendants of the Wal poles, of the Pelham?, of the Townshends." I appre hend he meant that long after the death of the Ministers to whom he referred, he found their desendants occupy. ing some of these sinecure offices in the Exchequer. A Minister, therefore, had, or might have had, it he were so inclined, a double advantage from those sinecure offices; he might, as in the case of one of the best of these offices, the Wardenship of the Cinque Ports, ap propriate it to himself, and he bad also the means of providing for his relations and connexions by the grant of other sinecure offices. In 1810, the Crown had also the power of granting offices in reversion; the Minister of the Crown had the power, up to the year 1809, of conferring the reversion of one of those great offices upon some friend or relative of his own. That oppor tunity of rewarding service, which existed in 1809, exists no longer. _ _ Mr. ' Walter—With reference to the question put by Mr. Cobden, whether as a matter of fact the highest of fices of the State have not generally been filled by mem bers of the aristocracy and persons of ample means, are you not of opinion that the salaries attached to those offices shbuld be so regulated as to admit of persons taking them whose private means would not be adequate to the discharge of these duties in a suitable manner without the aid of these salaries?—l think it is of the greatest public advantage that men of ability without large here d.tary fortunes should be enabled to accept office. If you consider the men who within the last hundred years nave exercised the chief influence upon the march of poli ical events, and upon legislation, you will find that those persons exercising that influence have not been the possessors of large hereditary fortune. in that class will be found the two William Pitts, Mr. Fox, Mr. Burke, Mr. Canning, and Mr. Huskisson. Of the first William Pitt, Lord Chesterfield says, that the whole of. the fortune that he inherited was 1001. a year. He en tered life as a cornet of horse, with a fortune certainly not exceeding 4,000/. He did not accumulate money in office, for on his death Parliament paid his debts to the amount of 20,000/. The second William Pitt must, there fore, have entered public life without any independent fortune. He held office for a long period; but the means which it afforded to meet the expenditure to which he was subject were so inadequate that on his death Parliament paid his debts, to the amount, I think, of 40,0001., there being no imputation of extravagance. Mr. Ellice—During that time he held the offices of First Lord of the Treasury, Chancellor of the Exche quer, and Chief Warden of the .Cinque Ports?—Yes. Then take the case of Mr. Burke. Mr. Burke was pri vate secretary to Mr. Hamilton, the secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant; he was afterwards private secretary to Lord Rockingham. Mr. Fox entered life without the advantage of hereditary fortune. Mr. Canning had none. Mr. Huskisson's means must probably have been very small, when he entered public life as private secre tary to Lord Stafford. Whatever was the time for which those eminent men held office, the emoluments of it in no case enabled them to make a provision for their families. It is surely a great public advantage that men of those eminent qualifications for rendering public ser vice should have some inducement for entering into the public service, rather than into professions. If they do enter it, it would be most unfair to allot to them any amount of salary which places them in an inferior posi tion to that of colleagues who may hare, from the acci dent of birth, larger means of supporting the expenses of office. Chairman--Will you be kind enough to state whether, independently of those sinecures to which you have re ferred, any other advantages attached to the office of Prime Minister, or any of the other principal offices, in 1820, which they do not now enjoy ?—I have stated what has been the reduction made in sinecure offices. I will now call the attention of the Committee to the pen sion list of the three kingdoms, as it existed in the year 1810. I will take first the pension list on the Civil List of England. In 1782 an Act passed (the 22d of Geo. 111., c. 82) for the regulation of the Civil List and the control of the grant of pensions. By that Act the Eng lish pension list was limited to 95,000/. a year, and until reduced to that sum tie power of the Crown to grant pensions was limited to 6001. per annum. It was then provided that no greater sum than 1,200/. should be granted to any one person, except members of the royal family. With respect to pensions on the Irish Civil List, in 1793 an Act was passed, with the consent of the Government, placing restrictions on the power of the Crown as to the grant of pensions on the Irish Civil List. In 1793, when the pensions on the Irish Civil List amounted to 124,000/, an Act was passed restrain ing the Crown from granting pensions in any one year exceeding altogether the sum of 1,200 2 , until the w hole pension list should be reduced to 80,000/. a year. The Irish pension list was net reduced below 80.000/. until the year 1813. As to pensions on the Scotch Civil List it appears that • before 1810 there was no check whatever upon the power of the Crow t in respect to the grant of Scotch pensions, except the amount of the revenue from which those pensions were derived. In 1810 the Scotch Civil List pensions amounted to 39,3791., and that year an Act was passed, providing that until the total annual amount was reduced to 25,0001., no larger pension than 3001. should be granted to any one person from the Scotch hereditary revenues. Besides those several pension ye a r 18 lists,there pan4pgfn oseihigrnrsaci mpaidhcesleohar were sdircccgohpei naaindrtnu p ti s e nopie n d6unoesp s u2enna i dtssl o arti pensions essre, vested c ihs. f4f nhth the dpth r ctplh g ersereio e r3ronge d ;cpr,)ielenot on the 4 per cent, duties.

But that sum c f 145,750/., wss the amount of the pension list as it existed in th 4-! reign of George IV. The pen sion list which existed in 1810, in the reign of George 111, was of much larger amount. (TO BE CONTINUED.) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.

PORTSMOUTII, MONDAY.—Tho Blenheim, Irdiatnan, arrived at Spithead from the river, to embark passen gers and stock, and will sail for Calcutta to-morrow. THE PACIFIC. We have correspondence from Valparaiso to the 30th of June. Tlae Commander-in-Chief, Rear-Admiral Hornhy, C. 8., in his flag-ship Asia, 84, Captain R. , Stoprord, was there, with the IN - Arne, Is Capt a i n G. Fanshawe, Champion, 14, Commander Hayes, and Driver, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Johnson. Our cor respondent says—" The fis,e,•-ship, having now more than completed her three years of commission, will in all probability remain at Valparaiso until the arrival of her relief. On the anniversary of Queen Victoria's acces sion and coronation, the ships of the squadron at Val paraiso were tastefully dressed or decorated with fl grr, and all of them, including the foreign men-of-war and the forts on shore, fired a royal salute on each day at twelve o'clock. On the glorious 18th of June the ma rines of the squadron at Valparaiso were lauded at half past eight, A.M., for a field-day, under the command of Captain Anderson, the captain of the marines of the flag-ship. After going through a variety of battalion and light infantry movements with great steadiness and precision, and firing away 20 rounds of ammunition, all of which lasted until about three o'clock,r at., they were marched from the Playancha to the music of the old English drums and fifes, and returned to their respective ships about four, rc. Previous to the conclusion of the field day, Lieutenant Snow, the junior first lieute nant, was called to the front to give him an opportunity to put the battalion through a movement or two. The Admiral and family are quite well." The merchants at California complain bitterly of having' no consul or ocher authorised representative of the British Government, and the visits of her Majesty's ships, Inconstant and Driver, have, under these circum stances, been highly beneficial. The shipments of specie by the American steamers to Panama are becoming larger every month, so that man of-war service in the way of conveying freights will, ere long, be at a discount. Meander, 44, Captain the Hon. H. Reppel, had not arrived at the station, and the Admiral wail wondering what had become of her. We have reported her, how ever, so late as May last, at Hobart Town. She is or dered home on her arrival. Inco❑stant, 36, Captain Shepherd, bad not arrived at Valparaiso, but as the large shipments of specie are made in May and June, he was expected to arrive with about a million and a half of dollars. Thedalus, 19, Captain Wellesley, had a spell of two months at Callao, but the Admiral had ordertd her to California, where she is to remain to the end of the year, and return to Valparaiso early in January. Daphne was to be sent the first week in July to Mexico, but not for an English freight. Swift, 6, Commander Aldharn, was on her way from Mazatlan to Honolulu with Admiralty dispatches fur Captain Collinson. Champion was to leave Valparaiso the first week in July to visit some ports on the coast, and then to return to Valparaiso. _ Cockatrice tender, Master•Ccmmander Rundle, was at the Sand wich Islande. Driver rejoined the flag-ship on the 21st June, 51 days from San Francisco, where she remained a fort night on her way from Vancouver's Island. It is satis factory to find that she did not lose a man. She brought a remittance of 173,000 dollars in gold dust, the greater part of which was consigned t) Valparaiso, and the re mainder—about 60,000 dollars—will be conveyed to England by the Inconstant. She also brought some dis tressed Chiliens. Gorgon, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Paynter, was at Chiloe, but was daily expected back to Valparaiso. American corvette Vaudelia was at Valparaiso. Store•ship Australia, from Deptford, arrived on the 27th June. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 2.—The First Lord of the Ad miralty held a levee to day at the Royal Naval College, and saw about fifty officers, to whom he had given au diences elsewhere this year. The other members of the board, except the official secretary, embarked this morning from the Sally-port on board the Fire Queen steam-tender soon after nine o'clock, and proceeded to the Blenheim, 60, Captain W. 11. Henderson, C. 8., steam-guard-ship at Spithead. The Board rata' e I at half•past twelve, and landed at the dockyard, which they left again at half-Fast one o'cl,ek and proceeded to the Clarence Vtetualling carts blishment, Gosport; thence their Lordships proceeded to the Royal Marine Barracks Forum, and inspected the division of Royal Me,rines under Colonel-Commandant Menzies, KU., with whose ciliciency their Lordships could not fail to be otherwise than catisfiod. Their Lordships re-embarked at Oct - entice-yard at three P N., and crossed over to the Gun-wharf, over which they were esccrted by Mr. Stewart, the di rector of the establivhment; from the Gun wharf the Board en -2rossid the harbour, and made an inspection of • the Royal Naval Hos pital at Haslar, wider the sup.rintendence of Captain Sir W. E. Parry, F.R.S., which, like the other establish ment (Clarence yard), o7er which Sir Edward so ably presides, yielded eminent satisfaction to their Lordships. To-night their Lordships entertain the heads of all the departments ut their hotel, and leave to-morrow for the Chsnnel Islands. The Fox, 42, Commodore Lambert, was towed out to Spitheld, by the Echo steam-tug, at half- past five this morning. The FlAmer steam-vessel, Commander St. Ledger, pro ceeds this evening to Spitheid. Her Majesty's schooner Bermuda, Lieutenant Jolly, arrived at Jamaica on the Ist of August from a cruiv, and sailed on the 3d for Greytown; her Majesty's ship Imaum was at Jamaica, the Alarm at Antigua, the Persian at Greytown, and the Indefatigable at Havannah. The royal mail steamer Severn, left St. Thomas's fur Jamaica on the 11th of August, and the Tay on the following day for the same place. The Clyde was at St. Thomas's when the Avon left, waiting to take the Mexican mails of the 2d of August. The Conway was at Demerara, the Derwent, Larne, and Eagle at St. Thomas's, and the Great Western in the Gulf of Mexico. APPOINTMENTS. Woor.wicri, SEPT. 2.—Acting Assistant Surgeon— James F.

THE FRENCH FLEET AT CHERBOURG. The ships composing the squadron have been for the last few days constantly exercised, but the heavy rain that bas fallen has !wen a great impediment to the evo lutions. The day before yesterday the whole fleet ex ercised at general quarters, and the firing was perfect. At two o'clock P.M. a sham attack, by gunboats, was made upon the Flemish fort. Forty boats, each carrying a carronade, from a 12 to a 30-pounder, were formed to line ready for the attack, when an immense wave rolled in and prevented the manorivre from being executed, to the very great disappointment of the numerous body of spectators, who had anxiously gathered to witness its being carried into effect. We regret exceedingly to relate that the gunnery practice of the morning did not pass over without a very serious accident, which unfortunately occurred on board L'Hercule. It appears that after one or two discharges the vent of cne of the guns was not properly attended to, and the consequence was that an expl ision took place, and two of the gunner's crew, while sponging the gun, lost their arms, and the gunner's mate has since suffsred amputation of the thumb. The sufferers were immedi ately removed to the naval hospital, where they are now lying in a very dangerous state. The town is quite full. No lodgings can be procured for love or money. In fact, we are really suffocated with visitors. Our jetty presents a most unusual ap pearance. It is perfectly crowded with ♦isitors, and our only regret is that it is to be so soon doomed to return to its usual state of dulness. We have visited the various ships of the squadron, and can bear testimony to the po liteness we, in common with all strangers, have met with from all the officers with whom we have been brought in contact.—La Marine. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—A Liver and Stomach Com plaint of long standing cured by Holloway's Pills.— Sergeant Wilton, late of the Honourable East India Company's service, and for nearly 25 years employed on the Bengal establishment, suffered most intensely from an affection of the liver, indiges tion, cod sickness of the stomach, which appeared to be rapidly undermining his constitution, notwithstanding the treatment of some of the most eminent of the medical profession. on lila return to this country he was advised to try Hollowa)'s Pills, and this superior medicine has effected such a perfect cure that it has astonished all that were aware of his apparently hopeless case.—Sold by all vendors of medicine throughout the world, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Stran d, London.
