THE NEW ARRANGEMENTS AT THE •

TREASURY.

The labour of the officers in the Treasury having been
considerably diminished by the passing of the Act of last
Session for the abolition of the Exchequer, and there no
longer existing any necessity for the preparation of the nu-
merous ridiculous forms and instruments required by the
usage of that almost antediluvian establishment, a reduction
of the number of officers in the Treasury became practica-
ble, and the Lords of the Treasury have now carried into
effect an arrangement which had only been retarded by the
lingering dissolution of the old Exchequer. The following
situations have been reduced :—Four Chief Clerks, who
received salaries of 1,4001. per annum each, and three
Senior Clerks, at salaries of 1,0001. each, and the gentle-
men holding those situations have consented to retire on
superannuation allowances. The situation of Receiver of
Fees, the duties of which have been greatly diminished by
the abolition of the Exchequer, has also been reduced, and
the salary, 700/. a year, has been saved to the public. The
amount of the saving thus effected is 9,6001. in the Trea-
sury department alone, which is a convincing proof, to per-
sons acquainted with the constitution of some of the other
Government Offices, that much remains yet to be done in
these departments, if the Superiors were as indefatigable in
their exertions, and as attentive to the management of the
offices intrusted to their 'tiontrol, as the Lords of the Trea-
sury have shown themselves to be. Lord Melbourne has
generously waived his right of absolutely appointing to the
vacancies in the lower ranks of the office, caused by these
reductions, as his Lordship has come to the determination
of nominating three candidates for each junior clerkship,
and of having the vacant office conferred on that particular
candidate who shall, after a strict examination, have proved
himself the most competent of the three.
The Department of Treasury is now divided into five divi-
sions. The following are the duties allotted to each : I
