SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1861
Paying lor Titles.
A discussion of a singular cbaracter took
place in the British House of Commons, the
other day. When the House was in what is
called a Committee of Supply, the estimates
for civil contingencies came to be presented,
discussed, and voted. In day s not far romote,
the Bell-appointed guardian of the pnblic purse
was the late Joseph Hume, commonly called
" the tottle of the whole,” from the manner
in which he pronounced the words. Hume,
who was about the worst speaker in Parlia
ment, was a sert of political - Skye-terrier at
smelling out a job, and, in his day, did a great
deal of service. Undoubtedly, the certainty
of his objecting tended to check the tendency
to extravagance which suscessivo ministers,
whatever the politics, seem to inherit as an
heir-loom of office. In Praed’s amusing
verses to “On seeing the speaker asleep in
his chair on one of the Debates of the first
Reformed Parliament,” we find this allusion:
« Rome will no doubt be taking the tense
Of the House on a question of sixteen penoe.
Latterly, when his liberal lriends came into
office—and never offered a place to him, nor
even made him a Privy Councillor—Home
relaxed his watchfulness and became such a
mere partisan, that he publicly declared he
would vote black was white, to prevent the
Tories returning to offleo. This was certainly
more candid than honest.
Mr. Hume’s successor, as objector-general
to Government expenditure, is Bernal Os
borne, member for the borough of Liskeaid
in Cornwall—a snug little place with about
6,000 inhabitants, oi whom less than 400 are
electors. Mr. Osborne, who is exactly half a
century old, is eldest son of fhe late Ralph
Bernal, who was Chairman of Committees oi
the whole House for many years—an office of
great importance, the occupant whereof re
ceives $lO,OOO a year. Young Bernal mar-
ried an Irish heiress, only child o! the late Sir
Thomas Osborne, with gteat estates in the
counties of Waterford and Tipperary, and this
accession of property gave him position which,
to say the truth, bis talents are sufficient to
maintain. He assumed hiswiie’s name on his
marriage—and thus became Mr. Bernal Os-
On the fill of the Derby-Disraeli adminia-
tration, in Dtcember, 1852, when eld Lord
Aberdeen was forming that Coalition Minis-
try which so cleverly contrived to make Eng
land become the cats paw of Napoleon, in the
War with Russia, Mr. Bernal Osborne, who
had then been eleven years in Parliament—a
saucy, sharp debater —was made Secretary to
the Admiralty, which office he retained, until
the formation of the second Derby-Disraeh
Ministry, in March, 1858. In the following
year, when Lord Palmerston had to farm a
new Administration, he did not include Ber-
nal Osoorne in his arrangements. Ever since,
fulfilling Byron’s lines in Don Juan,
And hers and there, some stem high patriot stood
Who could not get the place for which he sued,
Mr. Osborne has. devoted himself to looking
after the money-votes in the Bouse of Com
mons, and making his old colleagues as un-
comfortable as he can.
Among the items to be voted for Civil Con
tingencies, the other day, was the sum of
£512 14s. for fees paid ou Lord Brougham’s
patent of remainder. In other words, when
Henry Brougham was created Baron Brougham
and Yaux, on the 23d of November, 1880, the
patent which conferred this peerage npon him
limited its succession, as is usual, to *« tW
heirs male of his body lawfnlly begotten.”
But it happened that Brougham’s only
children were two daughters, one of whom
died in youth, and the other, after rising to
womanhood, and exhibiting a great deal of
her father’s mental energy and accompllsh
menta, died of consumption. Last year, to
mark her sense of his great services, Queen
Victoria, having ascertained that such an act
would be very acceptable to Lord Brougham,
directed that he should receive a second
patent of nobility, by which, on his death,
the title, instead of becoming extinct for want
of a- son to inherit it, should descend to his
only surviving brother (William Brougham',
late Master in Chancery), and hit eldest son.
This “ patent of remainder,” as it is called,
was a voluntary act of grace and special favor
on the part ot the Queen, and expressed, in
very laudatory terms, her sense of obligation
and regard for the recipient’s public services.
It was a magnanimous, AS Well as a gracious
act, for, early in ISSs, before her Majesty had
beCi a twelvemonth on the throne, Lord
Brougham published a pamphlet, under the
nom de plum of “ Isaac Tomkins,” in which
he said, with considerably more truth than
politeness, that « she became Queen at the
immature age of eighteen l —an age at which
a careful mother would not entrust her daugh
ter with any duty more important than that of
choosing the color of the ribbons she intended
putting into her bonnet.” At the time, these
words caused a terrible agitation in Bucking
ham Palace and the courtly circles of St.
James, Mayfair, and Belgravia; it was even
suggested that the pseudo Isaac Tomkins
should be prosecuted for sedition—but Vic
toria probably felt their troth, and let them
pass. At all events, she had a glorious re
venge, by conferring and perpetuating honors
upon her rough old cenßor.
Mr. Bernal Osborne, all the time professing
great loyalty to the Qneen and high respect
tor Lord Brougham, vehemently protested, to
Committee of the whole House, against the
payment ot £512 14s. Bd., for fees, upon
Brougham’s new patent of peerage, being
made out of the public purse. It was ex
plained that, by the Queen's desire, the lavor
to Brougham was conferred without any cost
to him; that he merited well of the public, by
his life-long exertions for social reform and
law reform; and that, in perpetuating the
peerage in his family, the Queen was simply
acting for the public, whose chief magistrate
she is. The vote was passed, and few will
complain of it*
The precedents for this are not few. Sir
Henry Hardinge, after long military and civil
services, became Viceroy of India In 1844,
and was created Viscount, receiving £5,000 a
year for his own life from the East India Com
pany, and a Parliamentary annuity of £3,000
for the lives of the two next successors to the
peerage. Lord Fitzroy Somerset, long the
Secretary ot the Duke of Wellington, was
created B iron Raglan in 1852, and died, in
June, 1855, in the Crimea, during the siege
of Sebastopol. Lord Canning, after the sup
pression of the Indian revolt, was raised from
a Viscounty to an Earldom. His predeces
sor, Dalhousie, was raised from an Earldom to
a Marquisate. The late Lord Elphinstone, a
Scotch baron, who had successively been
Governor of Bombay and Madraß, was made
an English peer in 1859. The widow of
George Canning was created a Viscountess in
1827. Upon every one of these patents of no
bility, creating or raising the rank, the fees
were paid oat of the Treasury—it being con
sider. d ungracious, when conferring a favor,
to make the recipient pay heavily for it.
It was somewhat ungracious, on the part of
Mr. Osborne, to pick out Lord Brougham's
case to raise a contest over. For many years
Brougham was the foremost man in the House
of Commons —the bold and eloquent leader of
the liberal party to which Mr. Osborne pro
fesses to belong. It was chiefly owing to
Brongbam that negro slavery was put down in
the British dominions, at a vast ceßt, on the
first of August, 1834. The great law-reforms
of the last forty years have all received their
origin or their impetus from his pen or voice.
The social evils which prevail have been ex
posed by him, and, if not removed, certainly
mitigated. The question is, whether these
bloodless triumphs of the mind did not de
serve at least as high acknowledgment as tri
umphs won with the sword on the field of
battle.

fees on Brougham’s patent, all but £147 waa

There was a iurther payment, also by “ an
cient usage,” of £7 7s. 6d. to the Attorney-
General, and £llos. for stamp-duty on war
rant. There was paid £1 to a clerk for en
grossing the warrant and for parchment. With
such items the cost of Lord Raglan’s patent of
nobility rose to £420.
We have been tbns minute, because these
charges are very curious in themselves, and
also, (though we hope it will not be miscon
strued into “ comlorting the enemy,”) because
we desire, in the event of the rebellious South
seriously desiring to become a monarchy, that
King Jiff, the First, or whoever the Sovereign
may be, that, when titles come to be con
ferred, tbe proper authorities may know how
to charge for them. If there be a monarch—
when King, Emperor of Kaißer makes no ait
lerence, —there will be a peerage, oi course.
Even Soulonque, commonly called Faustin
the Firßt, Emperor of Hayti, had his nobility.
There was the Duke of Lemonade, there was
the Marquis of Marmalade, there was the
Viscount de Millefleurs, and there wore
Connts and Barons, without stint. This was
natural—for a Sovereign without an Aristo
cracy would be an anomaly indeed.
Here we beg to give Mr. Jefferson Davis
a hint, in which he may find something greatly
to his advantage. By all accounts, he is
rather badly off for money, inasmuch as his
paper assignats, though forced into circula
tion at the point of the bayonet, are really of
the smallest actual value. Why does not he
raise the wind by instituting titles of nobility,
and selling them lot hard cash 1 In the reign
ot James I, (we are told by Hume) “ each
rank of nobility had its price affixed to it,”
and the King, who wanted money almost as
much Mr. Jefferson Davis does, created
the rank ot Baronet, which he sold to two
■Andred estated men for £1,095, thereby oh-,
Tmhing a round sum of £219,000, which no
doubt, was very acceptable. The traffic was
so very lucrative, that the King Immediately
set about making a hatch of Irish baronetcies
on the same terms.
Would President Davis follow the example,
of “ the wisest fool in Christendom,” (a»Jitnes
I. was called,) every “ first-family ” gentle
man in the South may be expected to have a
title—provided that he can raise the purchase
money, for it would never do to give credit in
such cases, when a bullet or a baiter may an
nul the debt.

Hear Mr. Bright, of England.
At a late meeting in England, Mr. Bright
wld:
Mow, recollect what breaking tha blockade
means. It means a war With the United States;
and: I don’t think myself that it wonld be oheap to
break the bloekade,-at the ooat of a war with the
United States I think that the cob! of a war with
the' United States wonld give, probably, half
wages, for a very considerable time, to those per
sons in' Lancashire who wonld be out of work if
there was ne cotton, to say nothing at all of the
manifest injustice and wrong against all interna
tional law that a legal and effective blockade
should be interfered with by another oontttry. It
is hot exaotly the business of this meeting, bnt my
opinion is that the safety of tha prodnots on whieh
this oountry depends rests far more on tho
sucoess of the Washington Government than upon
its failure; and I believe nothing could be more
monstrous than for ns, who are not very averse
to war ourselves, to set np for erltios—oarping,
caviling arittos—of what the Washington Govern
ment is doing. I saw a letter the other day from
an Englishman, resident for twenty.live years in
Philadelphia, a merchant there, and a very pros
perous merohant. He said, “ I prefer the institu
tions of this oountry (the United States) very
mnoh to yonrs in Englandbnt he says also, "If
it be onoe admitted mat here we have no country
and no Government, but that any portion of these
United States oau break off from the central Go
vernment whenever it pleases, than it is time fer
me to paok up what I have, and to go somewhere
where there is a oountry and a government.”
Well, that is the pith of this question. Do yon
suppose that if Lancashire end Yorkshire thought
that they wonld break >ff from the United Kiog
dom that those newspapers who are now preaobing
every kind of moderation to the Government of
Washington wonld advise the Government in Lon
don to allow these two oounties to set up a special
fovemment for themselves ? When the people of
reland asked that they should seoede, was
it proposed in London that the; shonld bo al
lowed to seoede peaoeably ? Nothing of tho
kind- I am not going to defend what is
taking place in a oountry that is w6ii obi? to
deiend itself. But I advise you, and I advise the
people of England, to abstain from applying to the
United States dootrines and principles wnich we
never apply to ear own oase Ac any rate, they
have never fought for " the balance ot power” in
E trope. They have never fought to keep np a
ueoaytng empire They bave never squandered
the money of tbeir people in snoh phantom expe
ditions as we have been engaged in. And now, at

going to be ruined by tbeir vast expenditure, why

am ; no man hat denounced war more than I have,
ptobably, in this country; few men in tbeir publio
life have suffered more obloquy—l had almost said,
more indignity—in oonsequenoe of it. Bnt 1 oaonot

y|as oompleted another financial year; and—
owing, mainly, to the prndenoa and energy or I'i
management, and to the confidence of tbe public
in the nigh oharaoter of its Directors, in the ampli

principles upon whioh its bnsinest is eondneted —it
not only maintains itself in a condition of vigorous
health, bat exhibits, year by year, annually in
creasing proofs of rapid and oontinnons develop

not by any violent or eeoentrio finotnations of the
tide of fortune; bat by the far safer and sounder
process of regular and gradual progression. Its
advance has been steady Bnd uninterrupted from
the very first Every one of its annual reports has
exhibited a marked and most gratifying improve
ment upon those which bad prooeded it; and, as
oonoluslve evidenoe that the Company is still
moving forward, with even bnt accelerated steps,
we may appeal with oonfidenoe to the Report whioh
was presented, yesterday, at the Ann'na] Meeting
of the Shareholders, and whioh will be fonnd in
onr present paper,
Twelve months ago, when reviewing the quin
quennial report of tno aotnary on the life business
uf the <* Royal,” and the elaborate appendix by
whioh that reuert was accompanied, we ventured
to prediot that thtßd two dconments, taken toge
tber, would not only “ confirm and enhance the
deservedly high reputation which Mr Dove had long
maintained as an aotnary and a statistician,” but
wonld also “ have the effsot of Still farther increas
ing the already widely extended aonfidenob of the
pubiie in the position and management of the com
pany ” The result hoe already mors than justi
fied onr expectations. The aotnary's report, was I
first presented to the proprietors at their annua]
meeting in August. It n«oessarily took some time
ts get ii into the hands of the pnblio. It could not
be expected to exeroiße any appreoiable influence
upon the business of last year. But, with the set
ting in of the year 1861 the frnit produced by it
began to be gathered in abundance; and we now
learn from the direotors, 11 that the sum assured
on new polioioß in the six months to tbe 3d of Jane,
in the present year, is actually .fifty per oent in
excess of the snm assured in tbe corresponding six
months of the year 1860, altbongh the fatter
amount in itself exceeded the stun assured In any
like previous period of time. 1 ' Tans we have pro
gress upon p«.gtrui, thn :j-ension
oi this particular department ot the business of ths
company has. within the last few years, been al
mqsc marvellous The new premiums received
last year exceeded those cf the preoediug year by
nSarly £2 000 ($lO 000), and rite total preminmlof
the year 1860 exoecaed the entire life preminme
of tbe firßt eight years of the company’s existenoe.
Under these eiroumstanoes, the directors are folly
i istifisd in anticipating the time when the com
pany will bo pisord. with respiot to the amount
of tea new business, at the head of all the life
assnranoe insulations doing business in this oonn
try.
Nor has the progress of tbe Fire Branoh been at
all less remarkable. The F're Premium" of the
vear 1858 h mounted to £ i 93 148 ($990 740) In
ibe year 1859 tbey uilv.-nceu u, £323 314 ($1 141,
670) -In the vaav 1860, they liltu&o 4 Sgaia to
£262 977 ($1 314 885) There was thus an in
orea-e <» £32 Ib6 ($l6O 830) in the first year, and
of £34 663 ($173 315) in the second making a
tc al angmeniß ion of premiums, in the two years,
of £66 829 ($334 145), or upwards of thirty-four
per oeut Wo lately drew attention to the faot,
that the amount oi da y paid to tbe Government
had too reused in ihecase of the “Royal,” during
tbe year 1860. in more than double (he ratio of
any other company, whether London or Pruvin
cial; that it was equal to thirty per oent. of the
entire inorean of tne whole of the metropolitan
offices combined; and that it formed “more than
thirty per oent of the total advance of the other
twenty eight offices established out of London.”
With toe Knowledge, thus derived from official re
tarns, that the company was not only rapidly ad
vancing npon, bnt aotnally going ahead of even
tbe moat formidable of its oompetitors, we were not
surprised to find that the amount received - by it
for Fire Premiums, In the year 1860, was equal to
the entire income, derived from tne same source,
during tbe whole of the seven years from 1846 to
1851
Like every other.first class fire insurance insti
tution, tbe “ Hoy ai” has suffered severely from the

long, redound greatly to its advantage, by inoraa
sing that confidence whioh is tbe main element of
its prosperity No s-mtlar calamity had happened
for two hundred years Yet tbe directors and
managers of the “Royal” were not fonnd unpre
pared They bad always kept steadily in view
-the possibility of exientire ooifl-grations far
beyonu the ratio oi ordinary ooonrrenoea of the
sort ” They had set that possibility strongly be
| lore their shareholders at their annnal meeting in
: August, 1868; and they had taken good oare that
! even such a contingency, however apparently le
mote should be more than amply provided for.
The result was, that when the great oaUmitjoe
ourred, they were fonnd in possession of a reeerve
fond, resulting from the accumulated profits of
their business, amply sufficient to pay their propor
tion of the loss three times over. What stronger

tloe, to encounter end withstand so terrible a
storm; whioh, within a week after the disaster oc
curred, had provided its London branch with funds
snffioient to meet every claim, without tither,call
ing upon its shareholders or trenching upon its
paid-up capital; whose auditors are able to testify,
year after year, that, at the express request of iu
managers, they have examined eTery deed,
voucher, certificate, or other security, and found
everything in order, and everything perfeeU.v cor
rect; and whose proprietors have self-denial
enough to piece the security of the assured high
above all personal considerations of their own, and
to'refuse to make oven a alight addition to their
dividend, although assured by a most competed
and responsible authority that they Could well af
ford to do it; suoh a company, wo say, must be
appreciated —must be supported— must go on, as
the “ Royal” hoe hitherto done, “ prospering and
to prosper."
RELIGIOUS.
Rev- John Leyburn, D. I>.
Binoe tbe commencement of the war, several
Northern pulpits with Southern occupants have
been made vacant, and the religions pros has been
more or less affooted by the same oause. Last week
tbe Rev John Leyburn, D. D., bade “ farewell”
to tho readers of The Presbyterian, after sustain
ing an editorial connection with that paper for
more than nine years. Clionmstanoes arising
out of tho present agitations of the country” are
assigned as the oause of this step.'lt is well known
that Dr. Loybum, on bis recent return from the.
East, suffered nraeh anxiety eoneerning bis family,
then iu Virgin Ip., Iris native Bt&te; so that bis rea
sons for the step he has taken maybe more of aso
cial than a polltioal nature. Vi e have more than onco
had Occasion favorably of Dr.'Leyburn In
this oolumn, as he was one of onr meat prominent
and gifted ■ platform divineß. His loiters descri
bing bis travels in Europe and the East, whioh
have appeared in The Presbyterian for moro than
a year past, cease with their author’s resignation.
The ooceludlng one of the series ends with a part
ing paragraph, in whioh the writer says:
“ Prolonged as has been this correspondence, the
story is not nearly all told. I had mnoh more to
say of tbe holy places, of the Dsad Sea. and the
Jordan, of the present condition of Palestine, and
of tho remarkable oonoentration of tho Great Pow
ers of Europe aronod the Holy City. * * *
Possibly, wken bappior days dawn npon onr dis
tracted laud, you may have the opportunity, if you
wish it, of reading, In come other form, what is
omitted here ”
Judging from the tone of his ootemporaries,
they are evidently disposed to appreciate, at their
foil value, tho palliating eiroumstanoes of Dr.
Leyburn’s removal, whatever may bo tbe real
views of tho latter respecting the pending strug
gle of onr Government to suppress tho rebellion If
he is tinctured with Secession sympathies, his de
parture from the editorial chair of a wideiy-eiren
luted newspaper need not be regrotted, and we are
only sorry that some other 00010 iaatioal editors,
not a thousand miles from Philadelphia, who are
weekly sowing the seeds of treason under the
guise of religion, have not tne manliness to follow
his example
How and Then.
Most of onr readers remember the excitement
aud final rupture produced in tho Church of the
Epiphany, in this oity, a low years ago, by a ser
mon of tho late Rsv Dudley A. Tyng. Tho ex
citement voted Mr. Tyng a fanatical Abolitionist;
tho rupture resuited in the formation of a new
congregation, called tho Church of the Covenant
—over which he presided until his death—and the
election, In his stead, of tho Rev. William Otis
Prentiss, as reotor of tho Epiphany. Prentiss was
a - Santh Carolinian, a slaveholder, and so
sound on tho “ institution” that all fears
of iurther Abolition episodes W6re banished.
By and bye, however, Mr. Prentiss, not
being well reoonoiled to the free air of the Horth,
returned to his native State, and the Rev J W.
Craoroft was called to succeed him. Knowing the
antecedents of his new oharge, it was supposed by
some that he would trim his sails accordingly
Bat they were mistaken in the man. Ho sooner
had the storm of Secession reared its head than
Mr Oraoraft raised his voice boldly against the
slave power by which it waa instigated, and in de
fence of the Government and tho
Several cvrmvna miuoW v- - o j m Boon a jj M tho
Btl * flV . a 033 Sumpter were said to have out Tynged
Tyng’s on tho “dolioate point at issue. ” They
elicited no anathemas; they were listened to—with
slight astonishment by some, It is true —they were
approved, and, more than this, the memory of
Tyng was recalled with something deeper than
respeot.
Two weeks ago Mr. Craeraft visited Washington
and vicinity. Dn his return home he referred to
his visit in the pulpit, stating that he had ascer
tained that among tho prisoners taken at tho bat
tle of Ball Ran, on the Sunday previons, by a
Connecticut regiment, was a young South Carolina
officer, who proved to be the son of his predeoesaor,
Mr. PrcslliS. He ftiso stated that while at Wa«h
lngion he bad learned, from undoubted authority,
that while Prentiss was oaanpyisg tho pulpit of
the Epiphany, in this city, he was in eorreapond
enoe with Southern traitors, and that he was ac
lively engaged in plotting treason against the
Government!
Th* Pmsidsmt’b Pboclamatioh, appointing
11 the last Thursday In September next as a day of
humiliation, prayer, and fasting for all the people
of the nation,” in compliance with the resolution
passed by'both Houses of Congress requesting him
to do so, is meeting unqualified approval. There
has been so mnoh said and written respecting
“ the bend of God In our present national trou
bles,” that common honesty requires that His will
should be religiously consulted, and His interces
•sion invoked. To believers In the Word of God,
the result of this oonfllot is as oertain to be accord

Gad’s hand is seen in the slaughter of the Midian
itish host by the three hundred Viliar.t men of
Gideon, and in the fate of the “hundred fourscore
aud five thousand” smote by the Angel ot
Lord in a single night in the oamp of the As
syrians.
Let Thursday, the 28th of September, therefore,
be observed as a day, not of mere words, forms,
