THE EXPENDITURE OF LOUIS PHILIPPE AND HIS
FAMILY.—An authentic and very curious account has
recently been made public by the managers of the late
civil list of France, in order to give a correct notion of
the current expenses incurred by Louis Philippe and his
family in each year from 1830 to 1848. The statements
are taken on an average of the 18 years. The income of
the crown, exclusive of the allowances and private pro-
perty of the Duchess of Orleans and some of the princes,
amounted to 18,400,000 francs, or about £740,000 a year.
Of this enormous revenue only £6OO a year was assigned
by the king for his personal service, and £4OO a year for
his personal expenses ; £4,000 a year for the queen's
establishment, and £30,000 a year for the princes and
princesses, exclusive of journies. The establishments of
the palace were on a magnificent scale—£l7,ooo a year
for the household of the Turneries ; £50,000 a year for the
table ; £38,000 -a year for the stables, with about 310
horses, and £ll,OOO more for the stud and field sports;
£17,000 a year for washing, £21,000 for lighting, &c.
The royal manufactures of Sevres, Gobelins, and Beauvais,
whose productions were destined for presents,cost £50,000
a year. These expenses alone, amounting to about
£500,000 a year, were not susceptible of material reduc-
tion. The entertainments, presents, and journies of the
royal family cost about £50,000 more. The charities of
the king £42,000 a year, and of the queen £lB,OOO,
without reckoning those of the princes. In patronage of
the arts, subscriptions to literary works, purchase of works
of arts and architectural embellishments of the domains
of the crown, the king annually expended upwards of
three millions and half of francs, or about £140,000
a year, during his whole reign ; the whole of the property
thus collected and constructed, which had cost not much
less than three millions sterling, has, of course, passed
into the possession of the state, and become the property
of the nation. The result of these munificent expenses
was, that the civil list was exceeded by about £30,000
a year, and that the royal property was left charged with a
debt of 4004,990, Times;
