Tho Wealth Of tho Queen.

There was runor aAoat In London to the
effect that an increased allowance would be
asked for ON behalf Of the Prince Of Wales and
his family during the autumn session. II il
proves true, the proposal will undoubtedly
receive several black eyes Economists
argue that there is no call for this additional
expense. The queen hzs an annuity drawn
from the consolidated fund Of sl,925 900,
which is especially allotted to meet those ex-
penses connected with her high position, the
partial weight OF which has beeia transferred

ton Of the enormous income which good for
tuno and frugal habits have placed at the dis
posal Of tho head Of the royal family The
new Domesday book discloses the fact that
the queens private estates extend over ST.
BIZ acres, the annual rental, even at the
lately deprecated prices, being si30, 0,G55.
Some years ago her majesty, acting under
the advice of Lord Sydney, purchased the
Claremont estate for the sum Of $500, 900, es.
tmated at the time as being little over half
its market value. II is said TO be worth
today at least $780,
The queen also possesses property at Co
burg and the Villa Hohenlohe at Baden As
TO personal property, there was the bequest
of quarter Of million left to her majesty
by Sir James Camden Neild. This will was
proved in 1859, and the bequest must now
have reached magnificent proportions. Then
there was the property left by the prince
consort, estimated to have reached nearly
q, 900 900, but as this will was never proved
and 30 escaped probate duty, the exact
amount is not known. These items are over
and above the queens annual savings The
aggregate money sum at her majssty's dis
posal for family purposes would hence ap-
pear TO be, ut the lowest computation, such
as renders unnecessary national solicitude on
the subject. The Prince Of Wales will
hardly get the new allowance under those
