to his state was announced to his Royal Highness by the
Dowager Lady Littleton, in the following very appropriate
words—" Sal he have a chancellor ? Yes, that he sal, a little
peshious. He shan't be troubled with a little conscience.
No, that he shan't. But he sal have it chancellor, all to his

FAMILY OF GEORGE THE TILIRD.---Any one versed, in
the slightest degree, in political matters, knows, or ought to
know, that by the very same tenure by which any private
person holds his hereditary estate, whether it be the
trasingl do-
patrimonial rood of the peasant, or then road
righ anc
and title
esl e
mains of the peer,—we say, by the very me
by which every individual in the realm holds his property,
the crown possesses private hereditary revenues, more than
capable of maintaining all the embers of the Royal family
in a manner becoming their discingui,bed place as Princes of
England. These private hereditary revenues, King George
1., soon after his accession to the throne, surrendered to
the Parliament, on the condition that an adequate provon
should be secured to himself and his consort, and to all the
other members of his royal family. By this the public was
a gainer of upwards of £lOO,OOO per annum. Hear on this
subject, an authority, which no why? at least dare challenge,
`he whig Mr. G. R. Porter, the whig appointed President

.ring the the three reigns of George the Third, George the
t'ourth, and William the Fourth, the public gained consider-
ably by the arrangements that have been here described. In
the first of these reigns, the sum
eluding SA paid. to the civil list, in-
-498,062, granted at various tmes for the dis_charge
of debts contracted to that amount, amounted to £56,943,451,
while the amount of the king's hereditary and temporary re
venues. given up to the public, realised £75.138,695, show-
ing a gain to the public of £18,163,241. In the reign of
IV., the payments to the crown were £8,847,987,
'',iPts by the public £19,732,732. showing a saving
aod in the reign of William IV.. the pay-
its were £3,561,593, while the receipts were £21,913,388,

the reign of the three kings, amounted, according to this re-

quantity may be obtained when we mention that t hey were
brought to England in seventy-eight large and heaviysp.aecen
ages. The Xanthian, or Fellowes Marbles, as :ir:_l a b
proposed to have them called, illustrate the mythology, the
modes_of warfare, and a variety of ate features .
the manners and customs of the ancient inhabitants of sia
Minor, wixo-wevo-Qvigiovlly -settlers from Crete. As might_
be expected, these sculptures do not, as works of art, rank
with the Elgin marble, but they are highly interesting as
illustrating the state of sculpture in a much earlier age. They
are supposed to include some of the earliest efforts of Greek
art which have come down to our times. The principal ob-
jects in the collection are those which Mr. Fellowes describes
as the bas-reliefs representing the legend of the daughters
of king Pandarus being carried away by the harpies, which
were around the high square monument, which was called
the harpy tomb. The marbles belonging to this tomb are
placed in the centre of the grand central saloon, arranged as
they were before being taken down. Near them is placed a
model of the tomb, which was supported by a shaft 17 feet
high, and weighing 80 tons. standing on a plinth 6 feet high.
The tomb itself was 3 feet 3 inches in height, surmounted by
a cover which weighed from 15 to 20 tons. The central
saloon also contains some very
beautiful frieze work, repre-
senting in bas-relief a bear hunt all the figures, the horses
and horsemen, the dogs, and the unfortunate bear itself, are
very spirited and bold, but not highly-finished specimens of
art. Some of the figures on the harpy tomb, and those
placed on the under ledge of the same large framework, bear
a considerable resemblance to the figures on the monuments
of Egypt; we may mention particularly the gods seated on
chairs, one smelling a lily, and another giving a helmet to a

ing may be readily distinguished. The siege of the walled
town forms in itself an interesting subject ;tee walls are de-
fended by warriors armed with stones, which are also the
weapons in general use among all the combatants ; on the
walls are a number of females, whose countenances indicate

contain some figures, which for vigour of design, if n
beautyo of execution, may vie with the Elg

Fellow es, in his account of the transmission of these marbles
to England,
the description remarks that the frieze so accurately illustrates
h given by Herodotus of the capture of the
early city,t at he could almost fancy that the neighbouring
historian had written his history from it, commemorating an
event which ha
room is to bepreparedepened about a century before his era.
