This establishment, although a force in name
only, costs the nation not less than 200,0001 i per
annum. :The public beiseiit derived from thest
corps we have never been able to learn, as they
are enrolled to serve only in case of iiivasion.
Their officers hate no command over them; and
the amount of their present service is merely to
muster 'once a week, and for which each mesa re-
ceives a shilling. But it is not so much the esta-
blishment in general, as the enormous pay givin
to the officers, that ought to be held up to public
notice. The senior Captain on each station re.
ceives 11. 15s. a day, or 6381. 15s. a year; the
other Captains havu 11. Ws. a day, or 5471. 10s.
a year. There are round the coasts of Eogland,
Wales, and Ireland (Scotland is not mentiooed),
143 of these Captains so paid. The number of
inferior officers is nut stated ; but these Captains
are receiving from the public, on the average,
more than double their regular pay when oa their
proper element, and exposed to all kinds of data.
gers and hardships:
No Lieutenant. Colonel commanding a battalion
in the Line, receives more thou half the pay al-
lowed to the Captains of those Sea.Fencibles for
fining nothing. In a first rate man of war. the
Captain's pay is no more thin 11. 3s. perd;em, '
and decreases gradually, according to the rate, to • ,
Its. In all our domestic military branches., the -•
pay is inferior, avid properly so, to that of the
'Revilers. The Militia racers have lass pay; the,
'Local Militia still less, and that for.the period of
being erribbdied only. Most corps of Volunteers •
have no pay at all; and yet the officer; of than - '-
See•Fencibles, which, at the best, can be mini.
'tiered but as a species of volinitekrs, arc allowed
MOM than double their regular pay when fighting
the battles of their country. •
This, surely, is a most monstrons waste of the
public money, and which *ust be rut aa cud td.
These are not times such profuse liberality to
one branch of the is force, when alt others
arc cut to the quic , dtid the whole nation is
groaning under the wei4lii of its enormous bur. -
dens. Should Government think it desirable to .
keep the seafaring men en the coast in a kind of
no iiinal service, they 'nay be placed under the in.
spection of the Officers on the Impress Service,
who, from the very nature of their duty, would
keep them in much greater contr. ; and by so •
doing„1000)01. per annum ‘soulsl be saved to
the public.
