A paragraph has gone the round of the papers
pretending to show the difference between the civil lists of
the Queen and her predecessors, in which it is stated that
William and Mary received £700,000, George 11. £800,600,
and George 111. £1,000,000 annually, while William IV.
had half a million, and the Queen has but £385,000. The
difference in all these figures is more apparent than real.
The civil list of George HI. was charged with the salaries
of ambassadors and all the judges. In the reign of George
IV. these charges were separated from the personal income
of the Sovereign. William IV. had the same allowance as
the Queen, but with the addition of £50,000 a-year added
for Queen Adelaide. The £30,000 a-year voted for the
Prince Consort does not appear in the sum set down for
the Queen. Where her Majesty really suffers in compa-
rison with her predecessors is in the loss of the private
revenue of the Sovereign from the kingdom of Hanover.
How much this amounted to was always kept a State
secret, but there is no doubt it was something vary
y consi-
derable.- It has been estimated at above £lOO,OOO a
year.
—Court Journal.
IMPORTANT TO PRINTERS.--On Thursday, the
Ist inst., at the Nottingham Police Court, Wm. Burnett,
a machine and pressman, was charged before the sitting
magistrate with having left his situation without giving the
fortnight's notice customary to the trade. It appeared that
the defendant, who is " a society" man, had been in the
employ of Messrs. Sutton Brothers for some time past, and
on the 26th of April he left, having only given notice of
his intention to do so late on the Saturday night previous.
Defendant stated that no contract was made when he en-
tered Messrs. Sutton's employ. Mr. A. Sutton said that
when he engaged a man it was understood that a fortnight's
notice was to be given on either side. Had he wished to
diwbarge the defendant he should not have done it without
adhering to the custom of the trade, which vas to give him
a fortnight's notice. That was the regular rule through.
out the trade. Mr. Cowley appeared for the defendant, and
urged that there was no written agreement between the
parties. He hoped that the bench would be of opinion that
the week's notice which had already been given, and the
week's wages which the defendant had offered to Mr.
Sutton, when he heard that a fortnight's notice could only
be considered satisfactory, would be sufficient to warrant
them in recommending Mr. Sutton and the defendant to
settle the matter by arbitration. Mr. Sutton said his only
object in bringing the case forward was to maintain the
rules of the trade, or else he might be subjected to much
inconvenience. Ultimately the case was settled by the de •
fondant paying £3, a fortnight's wages, to Mr. Sutton, and
4s. 6d. the court expenses. Mr. Sutton returned the £3 to
the defendant.

ETON COLLEGE.—The old adage, " There is many
a slip between the cup and the lip," was never more truly
verified than on Tuesday, in the appropriation of the
vacant rectory of I,Vorplesden, near Guildford, in Surrey,
which had become vacant through the death of the Rev,
Charles Luxmore. It was generally understood that tho
College Chapter was to be held, merelyproforma, to confirm
the appointment of the Rev. Edward Coleridge, one of the
Fellows, to the rectory, and that gentleman had considered
he had sufficient reason to justify him in already making
arrangements with the widow of the late rector for the
purchase of the parsonage property belonging to her late
husband, when, at the eleventh hour, the Rev. George John
Dupuis threw up the living he previously held of Maple
the senior
Durham, near Reading, of the value of about £l,OOO per
annum, and claimed the preferment to Worplesd. en rectory,
of the value of about £1,200 per annum, as being
Fellow to the Rev. E. Coleridge. Consequent!), the latter
Worplesden,
gentleman takes the living of Maple Durham, instead of, as
he had reason to calculate upoa, the rectory of
