TIIE majority of the offices exhibited in the following Table are, next to Diplomacy, considered as the strongholds of the Aristocracy-the places they delight to fill. Of the amount of the salaries, no account is given ; and this is generally a presumptive proof that they are not too low. The expense of nearly all these offices has increased con- siderably since 1797. - One item in this account calls, however, for more particular latent tion ; and that is the Government of Ireland. In stating the expense at 80,0001., we are probably very much below the mark, for we have no regular data to proceed upon. The whole of this charge might be got rid of; but the mere saving would be of trifling importance, compared with the benefits a steady and impartial system of government would confer upon Ireland.
