111?. DISRAtLFS PATRONAGL

The Times contains the follo*lng :—" If Lord Palmer-
ston was particularly fortunate (or, as the late Lord
Melbourne would have said, unfortunate) in the vast
amount of Church patronage which fell to his share as
Premier, Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli may congratulate
themselves on having had a fair share of Church
patronage at their disposal, while in judicial and
other legal appointments they have far out-
numbered any of their predecessors, considering the
short time they have held the reins of government.
It was calculated in these columns, as far back as last
August, that to the judicial bench of the three kingdoms
of England, Scotland, and Ireland they had made no less
than twenty-seven appointments, including two Lord
Chancellors, whom they placed on the English woolsack,
and two in Ireland as well. Of these appointments, four-
teen belonged to the English Bench, eleven to the Irish,
and two to the Scottish Bench. But in other professions
the Conservative Administration has had plenty of loaves
and fishes to distribute among its adherents during the
last nine months. Confining our attention, however, to
the nine months of Mr. Disraeli's tenure of office,
we shall find that he cannot complain of the
number of places that have been at his disposal,
either in Church or in State. In the Church he has bad
the nomination to one archbishopric, that of Canterbury
(Dr. Tait), and to four English bishoprics, those of London
(Dr. Jackson), Hereford (Dr. Atlas:), Lincoln (Dr. Words-
worth), and Peterborough (Dr. Magee). He has also
nominated three English deans—those of Lichfield (the
Rev. T. T. Champneys), Ripon (the Rev. Hugh AP.Neile),
and St. Paul's (the Rev. Professor Mansel) ; and to two
deaneries in Ireland, viz., those of Limerick (the Rev.
Maurice F. Day), and Cork (the Rev. Arthur Edwards).
Besides these higher dignities, he has also had
the disposal of several canonries, among which we may
mention one in St. Paul's and two in Westminster, which
have been filled respectively by the Rev. Robert Gregory,
the Rev. Thomas Prothero, and the Rev. Francis K.
Leighton, warden of All Souls College, Oxford. To these
we must add the chair of Ecclesiastical History at Oxford
(to which is attached a canonry in Christ Church), a post
' which Mr. Disraeli conferred on the Rev. William
Bright. He has also had the disposal of several
important Crown livings, among which may be mentioned
Sigglesthorne, in Yorkshire, which he gave to the vicar
of his own parish, Hughenden, in Buckinghamshire.
Quite recently, too, as our readers will remember, another
Crown living was conferred by him on Mr. Sidebotham,
who had served the Tory party faithfully as editor of the
Oxford Times. Immediately on his accession to the Pre-
miership the services of Lord Chelmsford as Lord Chan-
cellor were somewhat abruptly dispensed with, and Lord
Cairns was appointed to the vacant seat, his place as
Lord Justice being supplied by Vice-Chancellor Sir
William Page Wood. Mr. George Ward Hunt was
chosen to fill the post of Mr. Disraeli himself as Chancellor
of the Exchequer, and Mr. G. Sclater-Booth, M.P., was
transferred from the Poor-law Board to tho Treasury,
his place being supplied by Sir Michael Dicks Beach, who
in his turn was succeeded by Mr. James Lowther, M.P.
for York, and a member of one of the most powerful Tory
families in the North of England. During Vie last nine
months the Dnke of Welling ton has been nominated to
the lord-lieutenancy of Middlesex, the Duke of Buck-
ingham to that of Buckinghamshire, and Mr. Lowther
(a cousin of the gentleman named above) to that of
`le counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland. Mr.
Disraeli has sent the Earl of Mayo to India as Governor-
General, and has nominated Sir John Young to the
Governor-G(7neralship of Canada; he has also entrusted
the colony of South Australia to Sir James Fergusson, late
Under Secretary at the Home Office, and that of Tasmania
to Mr. Charles Du Cane, late Lord of the Admiralty. Mr.
Disraeli, also, through his Viceroy in Ireland, has had the
bestowal of three Ribbons of the Order of St. Patrick, and
these lie has given to the Earl of Erne, the Marquis of Water-
ferd, and the Earl of Mayo. It would be impossible here to
enumerate all the other pieces of legal preferment which
Mr. Disraeli has bestowed among his followers. Among
the more prominent we may mention the Solicitor-
Generalship of England on Mr. Richard Baggallay, Q.C.,
and the Attorney-Generalship of the County Palatine of
Lancaster on Mr. Quoin, Q.C. It is under his auspices
that Mr. Hannen has been raised to a judgeship in the
Court of Queen's Bench, and Mr. G. Markham Gifford,
of the Chancery Bar, to the Vice-Chancellorship vacated
by Sir W. Page Wood. Three new judges were also added
to the bench under the Bribery Act—viz.. Sir W. B.
Brett, Mr. Serjeant Hayes, and Mr. Anthony Cleasby,
Q.C. To these we must add the Attorney-Generalship for
Ireland, bestowed on Mr. J. T. Ball only a day or two
before his party left office ; and the judgeships in Bank-
ruptcy and the Court of Probate in Ireland on Mr. Harrison
and Mr. R. R. Warren. We must not forget to mention one
or two other very recent appointments—those of Colonel
Wilson Patten to the Chief Secretaryship for Ireland,
and of Colonel Taylor to the Chancellorship of the Duchy
of Lancaster. Mr. Disraeli during his nine months of
office has added seven members to the roll of the English
and Irish peerages, and has advanced four peers to a
higher grade or a more coveted dignity. He has raised
Sir Brook W. Bridges, Mr. kY.Neill, Sir John Walsh,

and Sir John Trollope to the baronies of Fitzwalter,
O'Neill, Ormathwaite, and Kesteven respectively ; he has
bestowed an English viscount's coronet on the Irish Lord
Bridport, and that of a viscountess on his own wife,
now Lady Beaconsfield ; he has made Sir Robert Napier
Lord Napier of Magdala, and has created Mr. John
M'Clintock Lord Rathdonnell. He• has also given an
English barony to the Irish Viscount Gormanston ; he has
promoted Lord Feversham to an earldom, and the
Marquis of Ahercorn to an Irish dukedom. During
the last few weeks also no less than eleven gentlemen have
been advanced to the dignity of baronets, viz.: Sir George

E. Cartier, Sir Robert Bateson Harvey, Sir Charles
Mills, Sir F. A. Knox-Gore, Sir Smith Child, Sir J.
Walker, Sir R. J. Harvey (of Norfolk), Sir W. H.
Hurnphery-, Sir Edmund Buckley, Sir Thomas Edwards-
Moss, and Sir Thomas A. Larcom.

MRS. THWAYTES.—The residence and estate,
" Charman Dean," near Worthing, of this eccentric lady,
whose will, involving a sum of £500,000, recently gave rise
to so much litigation, was sold on Wednesday, at the
Auction Mart, by Messrs. Edwin Fox and Bousfield, for
£13,700, exclusive of the fixtures.

A PORPOISE IN THE RIVER.—For several days
past—in consequence, no doubt, of the prevalence of heavy
winds in the Channel—a porpoise of considerable dimen-
sions has been disporting himself in the Thames : he was
first seen on Sunday at Waterloo, and, gradually working
his way up river, met his death on Wednesday forenoon,
for when off Barnes Elms some enterprising llammersmith
fishes-men gave chase, 24-1,l near llos,i Cottage the stranger
was shot by a Mr. Williams. On Monday, too, several
sea-gulls were seen from Vauxhall Bridge, and two were
shot ; none of them went above Pi►nlico.

LIBERAL BANQUET AT BARNSTAPLE. —On TUCS-
day evening the T.iherals of North Devon entertained Mr.
T. Aciand, M.P., at a inag,lilicent Lancinet at the
Music IFall, I:arnst:q de, in 1 onour of the Vic'. coy whia
he achieved at the last elf.:etioin The hall wa:; splendid'}'
decorated. On the wall opposite the entrance ran the words
" England's great sta.tesman—Glalstone," and on onesVe
Of the name "Gladstone '' was '' Justice to Ireland,"
and on the other, " Justice to all." Among those present
were the successful Liberal candidate, Earl Fortes:me,
Lord Portsmouth, Mr. T. Cave, M.P., Mr. Amory, M.P.,
and Mr. Wade, the defeated Liberal candidate for East
Devon. In replying- to the toast of "The Lord-Lieutenant and
the Magistrates," Earl Fortescue stated his opinion that.
looking back at the history of the present century, it
seemed to him that it was a sort of principle with 'l'ory
Governments to keep place at the sacrifice of any personal
convictions or previous public professions.—Watern
