the government and its strong desire to favor the
success Of our enterprise by all practicable means

Sir w. Gore 0useley has already had CA, 500 for
settling the Central American question, the unset
uement whereof seems to be the unquestionable
thing abont it.
The omnverous sir Henry Bulwer has had e., 500
for his trip to the Danubian Princpalities, which
he has left, and he has invariably left everything
and place he has put his foot in far worse than he
found them. He took part in one of the three
abortive special missions to the treaty Of Paris
in 1856 charge, fS,500-the said peace being bur-
lesque the that led to it, aud the treaty itself
practically blotted out ere the ink was dry. We
may be sure that his present exploits in Turkey,
whittier it cost e. 700 (beside " entertanment'O to
transport him, will be of piece with his per-
Torrance there twenty years ago, when he managed
to ruin the commerce Of the Porte under the pre-
tence Of promoting it.
Stratiord de Radcliffe took it into his head to go
to see the Sultan the other day, what for nobody
knows, the last of the Othmans less perhaps than
anybody. English taxpayers are charged 81 700
for the unketng, besides another $500 for further
entertainments

TVS expenseY OF course nothing of the kind. In
no veins containing one drop OF German blood is
there the magnanimity of Indifference to money;
and accordingly Bull, the golden calf, is vampi-
rised as usual.
Elgns mission to China cost ell 500, and was
cheap at the money, there being very little for cen
tertainments." But entertainments all through
these bills the reverse of amusing, on the
score Of the impossbility of reconeling them with
any rule of reason or any reasonable rule.

ghoul in the devourng line, his Mosquito Majesty,
was entertained in her British Majestys ship Valo-

What Episcopal Nemesis is it that always causes
the entertainment of bishops to come off in ships
with names the most repugnant to missions Of
peace and selfdenial. Here we find the Bishop of

What's in name may signify little to the country
men of him who drew Romeo and Juliet, but it may
signify much to the savages to whom those country
men send emissaries of the old faith and new life.
However, this may be but trife though trifes are
sometimes ponderous, as we find in the present
item of f2,39S Is. 3D., for robes, collars, badges,
&C.. for knights of the several orders; although we
are always told that the benighted individuals are
nearly garotted with the expenses OF their expcn-
diture.
But that is nothing to this namely f5 $50 15s. Id.
Observe the penny. What for? Why, for putting
in order the chapel of St. James on the occasion Of
the Prince of Prussia getting 100000, cash down,
and f6 900 year, on which condition he agreed to
take certain young English lady off our hands:
Here are few more amazements OF astounding
arithmetic. The pardon of Carlo Rudio, the Orsini
bomb individual, cost f22 lSs. Cd.

No; we were told so at the time; but it turns out
that the evertobep hlebotomzed public is the VIC
tim.
Here's an item that forms nice adjunct to the
foregoing this is the last year ever any
thing of that sort will figure here again, namely,
second moiety Of the expense incurred for pre-
servation of monuments erected in the new church
at Waterloo to the memory of British officers who
fell in that battle, $500.
