BINF,CURE4-.

M tl, names of Lord AUDEN and 140111 CAM.
OSW have' been the watch-words with those At-
formers who would strip the Empire of all dignity,
and subvert our vene'rable Constitution, ani us
the grossest exaggerationi have been m de re-
specting their Lordships' emoluments as Register
of the High Court of Admiralty and Teller of the
Exchequer, we are induced to take the following
Extract front a valuable Tract published this day,
entitled " Ott the Present State of Public Affairs •'

" In the Report from► the Select Committee on
Sinecure Offices, the gross receipt of this appoint.
meat it accurately stated at 33,4781. ; but be-
sides that the deputies receive one third part of
the profit for executing the office, all the offieers
and clerks on the establishment, the stationery,
and every description of expetice,' is paid out of
the receipt: these different deductions amount, as
appears by the same Report, to 23,7331. ; thus
reducing the gross receipt of 33,4781. to a nett
receipt, payable to Lord Arden, of 9,745/. Often
as the emoluments of this office have been
ad-
verted to, in no one instance has this most tuateo
rial drat/4)11a upou it been even hinted at. There
is another hoportaot circorustance ; no part what.
ever, either of this gross or nett receipt, is a bur-
then on the public.' Lord Arden receives no sit-
I.try or payment of any kind from Government ;
his emoluments arise from fees for business done
in the public registry by his deputiea and clerks,

and are paid by the suitors of the Court, by fo-
feigners as well as British subjects. It is most
singular, however, that while Lord Arden is in-
dignantly pointed out as hoking this iminense re-
venne in his uorelaxing grasp, am.dst the present
imperious demands for,econotny ; that, 50 far from
receiving any salary, his' Lordship is out of pocket
by the appointment; it does not pay its expellees;
its emoluments aretertainly not lOU/. per annum;
the ' whole value of the office is completely con-
fined. to a time of war*. 'rhos stauds the fact
with regard 'to the Sinettire ofttirif Arden, Upon
which so much invective has been exhausted, and
width we always find placed in the fore-molt,
whenever it suits the political purposes of the
party to make this subject the ground of attack.
" With regard to the Tehlership of Exchequer
held by Earl Camden, the income 'arising from
this appointment. has been taken at the same
amount as during the war, about `lO,OOO/, a year :
whereas the circumstance which contributed to
raise it to that sum no longer operating, it be-.
CAMC reduced by the peace to an amount not ex+
ceeding one half ;,and the emoluments of tl.is re-
maining Tellership will be limited, after the life
of the present possessor, to 2,7001. (By the
death of the late Martinis of Buckingham, his Tel-
lership has been reduced to, that Bum). In jus-
tice to Lord Camden, we should ant Owit,,to no-
tice that lie, as well as the late. Marquislif Bock-
inborn, gave up.. the 111111'. of 11,0001. per non.
during the latter years of the war.'.'
