CHRONOLOGY, MARRIAGES, DEATHS, ETC. 



CHRONOLOGY. 



March 27. It transpired in the Court of Chancery 

 that there are in the kingdom upwards of 50.000 

 charities, of the annual value of about two millions, 

 not above one quarter of which is properly applied. 

 The public commissioners for investigating charities 

 have reported upon 20,000, and their expenses al- 

 ready exceed 200, 000?. 



29. Motion negatived in the House of Commons 

 for abolishing the office of Lieut.-General of Ord- 

 nance*, although one of its late holders was absent 

 18 months, while holding it ! 



30. Motion negatived in the House of Commons 

 (98 against 46) for inquiry into the state of the land 

 revenues of the crown f . 



* This office and the treasurership of the Navy 

 had been previously declared useless by the Finance 

 Committee. 



t Mr. D. W. Harvey said his object was, that the 

 state and management of the Crown Lands should 

 become the subject of serious investigation, and 

 made conducive to the exigencies of the state. He 

 then entered into an elaborate and most comprehen- 

 sive view of the subject before a thin House ; and 

 in his progress he shewed that in the reign of that 

 great and good defender of the faith, Henry VHI. 

 this property amounted to 273 000?. He advanced 

 nothing upon this subject for which he hart not the 

 authority of history, and he held in his hand a 

 paper which proved his statement. The total 

 value of the Crown Lands, as he hart been able to 

 estimate them, now amounted to 17,865,200?., ex- 

 clusive of coal, tin, and copper mines, &c. &c. ! ! ! 

 Mr. Hume supported the motion. In alluding 

 to its importance, he observed, that the other 

 night, when the question was only about 900?. the 

 House was crowded ; but now, when it amounted 

 to nearly 18 millions, no one thought it worth his 

 while to attend ! By the by, during the debate on 



April 5. Motion carried in House of Commons 

 (115 against 07) for leave to bring in a bill to remove 

 the disabilities of such persons as were of the Jewish 

 persuasion ! 



The quarter's revenue made up to this day pre- 

 sents a decrease of 245,812?., and on the year 

 864,3497. 



Common hall held at Guildhall pursuant to a re- 

 quisition signed by many of the livery, addressed to 

 the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of " taking into 

 consideration the present overwhelming distress 

 which pervades all ranks and classes of our fellow- 

 countrymen, excepting those who are annuitants, 

 those who receive fixed incomes, and those who live 

 upon the taxes ; and to devise the most effectual 

 means of checking the alarming progress of the 

 wide-spreading and devastating evil." When a pe- 

 tition to Parliament was unanimously voted, and 

 several resolutions entered into.* 



the 900?. sinecures, Colonel Sibthorpe stated, by way 

 of contrast, " that he had submitted a memorial of 

 the strongest nature to Government with respect to 

 an individual of unimpeached character, (Serjeant 

 Duncan Macdonald,) who was 84 years of age, had 

 served thirty years in the army, was now in a state 

 of blindness, and who applied for an addition of 

 only sixpence a day to his allowance; and what an- 

 swer did he receive? That no additional grant could 

 be afforded. And why ? Because this person had 

 been worn out in the public service ! ! ! Here were 

 two hon. gentlemen of noble descent, the sons of 

 lords, and members of a ministerial party, and they 

 got 900?. a-year for having done nothing.' .' .'" 



* The principal speakers were Aldermen Wood, 

 Waithman, Thompson, and Mr. Hunt, who ad- 

 verted to the expensive nature of the wars of the 

 last reign of America and France, both undertaken 

 against liberty ; the first supported by the Bo'-rbons 

 against us, and the second supported by us for the 

 Bourbons, which wars, he said, had entailed upon
