MI JOIN Dun is III tOltrdD! goou nulHor, Ut,
more properly speaking, in modified ill-humor, at
the settlement Of the Princess Royals dowry. He
is very sorry that he has got to pay 20 much, and
very glad that he has got to pay no more. The
debates in Parliament the discussions in the news
papers the popular feeling which the question has
excited all prove that Mr.. Bull is a little weary Of
the phlebotomy to which he was so dreadfully sub
iected "when George the Third was King" As
he eszes with stclid sadness upon the ncessant ad
ditons to the royal nursery, and reckOns the pen
sions of princes and the dowries of prncesses, he
may well pray for a respite, and feel somewhat in
the mood of the gentleman who, upon being in
formed that he was the father of trplets, declared
that he "must 60 up stairs and put an end to this"
Fortunately there can be no apprehension OF
failure of legitimate succession to the crown. The
days in which the most suspicious and unmtigated
rebel could talk of surreptious babies introduced
TO the royal couch in warming pans has long since
gone bv. There is nobody left to dispute the tide
of the House of Hanover, and if there were, the
House Of Hanover has shown that it is abundantly
able TO take care of itself An heir in the reign of
Elizabeth. of Charles H. or 4 James H., was OF
some importance but heir in the present year OF
Victoria is Of no importance, except that De must
be paid for in pounds sterling. About two centu-
ries ago the people Of England would gladly have
purchased legitimate child of the King at a cost
of millions, and now We think that they would DO
willing to commute and pay We dare not say how
much for no more heirs at all
We do not wonder at the feeling which pervade'
the liberal classes in Great Britain, and which
shows itself not only in the. tsyerns but IN Parlla
ment, net only in Punch but in the morning news
Iapers. Whoever considers the outrageous de-
mands made upon the Treasury by the progeny OF
George Ill not for any useful purpose not to enable
the princes of the Blood Royal to maintain state
in accordance with their position out 10 dlsourse
gambling debts, the salaries Of mstresses, the cost
Of every conceivable luxury aid deoaucnery; who
ever. we say, considers these will not wonder tina
Mr.. Bull is waking up TO the necessity of little
care in the allowance of pocket-money 10 Ills pretty
pets. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in NOV
inc the proposal of the Ministry with regard
to the Princess Royal, fell INTO the slngula
and laughab.e error Of reminding the Com
mons that they could afford to be generous,
because the list of annuites' (Which he
recapitulated) " once paid to members Of the
Royal family had fallen in. since the accession Of
Queen Victoria, to the amount in the whole of
- cost. OCO a YEAR" The House was unusually
good.natured. or some terrible person might have
asked the Chancellor for what all this none! had
been paid, and why the fact that the DaiiOn was no
longer under legal obligation to pay ii afforded
any reason why that obligation should be resumed
Lord Pslmerston, in bis usual style of shrewj
c, mpromise, met the question by concedng some
thing TO beth parties The bride OF the Heir Pre-
.umptiye of Prussia ought not to be sent to her
new aid foreign home without decent dowry.
