Total........£.62,000,000

If the war had continued, Government would have raised these sixty-two millions at least, and probably more : but as its glorious termination enabled them to reduce the expenditure, the money has been left to accumulate in the hands of the public.

FORGED BANK-NOTES.

In order to lessen, if not prevent, the frequency of forgeries, the following certificate of the efficacy of a plan was, according to an evening paper, offered to the Directors so far back as the year 1797;

"London, April 5, 1797.

"Mr. Alexander Tilloch, of Careystreet, London, having submitted to our inspection a specimen of an art invented by him, for the purpose of producing checks to prevent the forgery of Bank-notes, bills of exchange, drafts, &c. we have examined the same with care and attention, and we declare each of us for ourselves, that we could not make a copy of it, nor do we believe that it can be copied by any of the known arts of engraving. It, therefore, appears to us highly deserving of the notice of the Bank of England and private Bankers, as an art of great merit and ingenuity, calculated, not merely to detect, but to prevent the possibility of forging bank and other circulating bills.

ROYAL MARRIAGES.

By the Royal Marriage Act, two modes are provided by which the Princes of the Blood may marry :—

1. By the King's previous approbation, by and with the consent of his Privy Council, and consequently, by the same authority, in the name and on behalf of his Majesty, by the Prince Regent.

2. By the Prince intending to marry, if he shall have attained the full age of twenty-six years, entering on the books of the Privy Council such bis intention, specifying the person; which notice shall authorize the union, unless both Houses of Parliament shall, before the expiration of twelve months from the date of such entry, expressly declare their disapprobation of such intended marriage.

FEES.

The fees paid upon each pardon granted under the Great Seal, amount, according to a return just made to Parliament, to no less than 50%. 171. 8d.

REMEDY FOR THE ROT IN, SHEEP.

The recent rise in the price of mutton is said to have taken place in consequence of the rot having made considerable progress in the sheep-walks, from the late wet weather. The use of a few ounces of salt given to these necessary animals, is not only a cure, but will also prevent the malady.

On the ERECTION of NEW PARISH-
CHURCHES.

To the Editor of the European Magazine.

SIR,

Phis Royal Highness the Prince Re

ERHAPS no clause in the speech of

gent, at the opening of the present session of Parliament, has given more universal satisfaction, than the one which recommended the attention of Parliament being particularly directed to a subject deeply interesting to every member of the Established Church; namely, the erection of new churches in the metropolis. The want of places of public worship commensurate with the population of the west end of the town, is an evil that has been long and justly complained of; and the prospect of the removal of that eyil has afforded pecu

liar pleasure to the inhabitants of that quarter. The aggregate number of persons resident in five of the principal parishes in the western part of London; viz. St. Martin's in the Fields, St. James Westminster, St. George Hanole- Bone, is estimated at ver-square, St. Pancras, and St. Mary224,268. church was capable of containing 1500 Now if we suppose that each parishpeople (which is an overcharged calculation) there still remains an overplus of 216,768; and I would inquire, in what places are they to fulfil the duties of their religion? It may, perhaps, be answered, there are parochial chapels. True but on what system are they conducted on a most mercenary and tricious attraction of popular preachers, most improper one. There the meretheatrical singers, &c. &c. are to com pensate to a certain class, for the mortification of sitting two hours, with nought but religion to amuse them!!! The accommodation of the middle and lower ranks of society is never once considered by the managers of these establishments; I presume they deem it immaterial whether these stand or kneel to worship their Maker. I can confidently affirm, that five guineas per annum is demanded in more than one proprietary chapel, for a single sitting. You must be aware, Mr. Editor, how comparatively few there are who are enabled to meet such an

exorbitant charge. Hence the alarming increase of sectarism among the lower members of the community; which is indisputably owing, not, as it has been asserted, from the lukewarmness and inactivity of the ministers of the Establishment, not from any disaffection of the people towards that Establishment, but-from the poverty of parochial churches. They are literally enforced by necessity to desert their ancient standard, and enlist under the banners of new leaders, many of whose principles tend to the complete subversion of religion, morality, and social order; aud who possess an influence over the minds of their converts as boundless as it is baneful. Are we not then imperiously called upon to crush in its germ an evil, which, if suffered to mature and strengthen by the " stealing hours of time," will ultimately become firm as the oak, poisonous as the upas. The plain and obvious method of doing so is this: let every one who calls him,
