Physiology of Jobbing.
England is emphatically a country of Jobs,
though John Bull hates such trickery. He
does not object , to fair and full payment for
services honestly and faithfully performed, but
be does hate whatever approaches an under.
hand, unfair, and. dishonest mode of paying
for services not performed. This comes under
the general term jobbing, and both the name
and the reality should- be, and are, bateftil to
honest men.
Unfortunately, however, though the na
tional antipathy to jobbing is very great,
there has usually been a great penchant (or
liking) on the part of - those who possess
power, for the exercise of this unjustifiable
part of Government tactics. From - the time
when Walpole declared, from experience, that
most publiemen bad their price, down to
the present day—with few exceptions—there
has been more or less jobbing going on. Nice
things for those whet pocket the gains—pleas
ing exercise of patronage for those who 'pos
sess power—but rather not gotta so pleasant
for those (namely The"reople) who have to
pay the piper !
Sometimes, what at the first glance looks
very like a job, will turn out, nn examination,
to be of a different complexion. This should
make persons cautions in condemning—should
induce them to take the trouble of ascertain
ing the facts of the case. Fair play .is a jewel;
and every body is entitled to it'.
To show the, difference between what may
seem to be a job, and what is oneove shall
here mention two circumstances in the public
life of a late eminent public man. In 1806, Lord
Howidk (afterwards Earl Grey) was'appoint
ed First Lord of the Admiralty. He was in
the House of Commons at that time, and. con
trived to live'upon the salary of his office, and
an allowance from his lather.
, In 1807,10 i was
called to the House of Lords, on his father's
death. lie then found that he could not sup
port the necessary and usual state of his high
office, without spending more of his private
income than was, prudent. He did not hesi
tate to ask for an eudience of George the
Third, at which he stated these The
King, pleased with the straightforward; con
duct of Lord Grey, immediately ordereid that
the salary of the First Lord of Admiralty
should be raised from £B,OOO to £5,000 a-year.
Now, though this.ivas an addition to the bur
dens of the people, no - one can say that Lord
Grey acted improperly, or that this increase
of £2,000 a-year to his salary was a jai!. No,
it was done in a - very open; candid manner.
No country has a right to ask any Minister to
injure his private fortune in the public ser-
But the same Earl Grey certainly was guilty
of jobbing—and in a wholesale manner—when,
in 1806-7, one of his brothers was sent out as
Commander-in-Chief to the Cape of Good
Hope, with a salary of £4,000 a year, while
another brother was sent out to the same place,
as Lieutenant Governor, with a like 'salary of
£4,000 a year; although, previous.to shot ap
pointment, the salary had been no more than
from one hundred to two - hundred pounds.
Thal was a pretty job, to be sure—but, as the
Black Book of 1820 remarked—" not quite so
bad as the Whigs giving two reversions to
Lord Erskine's favorite clerk, and tilling, with
their friends, the situations of collector of cus
toms,surveyor of customs, waiters, and search
ers, at Buenos Ayres, a place not then sn our pos
session." Neither was the jobbing in 1806-7
as bad as that is 1830-4, about which Cobbett
made so much noise. In 180 G, Lord Grey
provided for only four of his brothers; but,
when he was Prime Minister, (with Deform and
Retrenchment hn - bilbannefy,lie mane - rue
obronicled in his
famous (t Guar Liar."' At that time, no mat
ter what the vacancy,: (provided the income
was large), a Grey was found to occupy it.
The Ariny and the Navy, the Church and the
Civil 'Offices, were replenishedfrom the Grey
family. Did a ComMissioper die'?—there was
a Grey to fill his place. Was a Mitre vacant?
- it was found an exact tit 'for a Grey head.
Was there a death among the high officers of
the Army or Navy 7—one of the Greys was
sure to be Gloated. Competent er Incom
petent, it was all the same. The family were
there to be provided for, and provided for
they were ! One way or, another, the total
amount of moneys paid for The _Grey List
was not less than £70,000' a year. In the
same way, Plunket, Lord Chancellor. of Ire.
land, made it out for his family. Thin is
what is called cc feathering his nest." The
pretty fledglings of the Plunkett family, like
the fortunate Grey nursliegs, came well out
of it all. The people alone antlered. But
then the People should be rejoiced to pre
serve sinecures and wink at jobs, when it is
all for the benefit of the Aristocracy. What
a consoling thought it must be, while the
poor man is eating a Scanty meal, hardly
earned by labor, that the fortunate scions of
the Aristocracy condescend to live upon the
taxes which make that humble meal scanty
and dear !
But Lord Grey and Lord Chancellor Plunket
do not stand alone in their relish for jobs.
George Canning had a strong leaning that way,
and there can be no harm in showing bow he
evinced it. Mr. Canning was a man of great
ability, but Toryism sat upon him and weighed
him down—juat as the Old Man of the Sea was
a burden upon Sinbad the . Sailor. He always
boasted that be was the friend of popular prin
ciples, and yet to the last , he was the bitter op
ponent of Parliamentary Reform. He was
anxious to be thought the advocate of Catholic
Emancipation; and yet, when the Anti-Ca
tholic party came into power, when the ✓lll-
the-Talents Cabinet brOke up, and the Duke
of Fortland's Administration was formed (in
March, 1807)—an administration most hostile
to the Catholic claims—Mr. Canning accepted
he setils of the Foreign Office.
in 1809, Canning and Castlereagh quarrelled
and fought—the resolevias Canning's secession
from the Ministry. In 1812, the assassination
of Spencer Percival caused the necessity for
forming a now Ministry. Canning declined
serving with Castlereagh as leader of the Com
mons and the next thing heard of him was
his taking office, as Ambassador to Lisbon,
under that same Castlereagh ! This, if it
in
volved simply the charge of personal incon
sistency against Canning, would not concern
any ono but himself ; but as it was caused by
the grossest jobbing, it is worth while entering
into a few details, to show the working of the
system.
The Prince Regent of Portugal bad "cut
and run" to the Brazils when Napoleon in
vaded Portugal. There he had established a
new sovereignty,•and there had continued for
several years. Great Britain, though the
Prince was in South America, still kept up
what are called a diplomatic relations" with
Portugal. The Prince every now and then
wrote home, saying how, happy he should bo
to revisit Europe, if he could; bat no one who
knew the man or his character dreamt that
he would , do so under the existing ciicum
stances of danger in the Peninsula. Mr. Sy
denham, the ambassador 'at Lisbon, bad a
,salary of £6,200 a year. Mr. Canning was
going over to Portugal with his son, whose
herilth'was bad,'ln the hope that the genial
climate might prove beneficial. Then was
perpetrated one of the mast flagrant 'jobs of
Lord Liverpool's corrupt administration. Mr.
Sydenham was recalled, that Mr.
,Canning
might be appointed ambassador in his place.
Bat, on the score of economy, Sydenham's
salary was only £5,200; Claiinlng'a was fixed
at £14,200. The pretext was, that Mr. Can
ning was the moat proper person to Meet the
Prince Regent of Portugal on his return to
Europe:.BM the Prince did not return. Can
ning's main object: was gained. Ile pot

amount which he might have taken. It ap
pears that ho drew only £14,200, and might
have taken MG more ! Meanwhile, Mr. Sy
denham 'received a sum of £2,000 as a com
pensation for being thrust out of his appoint
ment to make room for Mr. Canning. So,
independent of outfit and the cost of taking
Canning out and bringing Sydenham home,
the sum of £16,200 was paid on account of
this Canning job, or time thousand pounds
more than would have been paid if the Lisbon
embassy bad not been interfered with. Those
who have been accustomed to hear. Mr. Can
ning spoken of, as a patriot minister will hi,
very much surprised at finding him tarred
with the same brush as the rest; but the state
ments here made are true to the letter, and
want of space compels us to omit "se7eral of
the details, which would throw additional light
upon the matter.
it is not of departed statesmen and of com
paratively remote times, that we write, when
the 'subject ofJobbing is tobe discussed. Out
of very many we would instance the cases of
three ac Noble Lords"—all of whom by a very
singular coincidence, happen to have-distin
guished themselves by constant attacks upon
the evils of Corruption !
The Abercrombie (or Dunfermline) Job is a
very curious one. That gallant officer, Sir
Ralph Abercrombie—bravest among a nation
which has always sent out gallant soldiers—
died in Egypt, in the moment of victory.
He left a widow; and several sons. The widow
was raised to the rants of Baroness, with suc
cession to tier eldest son. Parliament gave
her a pension of £2,000 wyear for her own
life, and afterwarde tbd two next succeed
ing male heirs of her late husband. The late
Lord Abercrombie accordingly had that pen
sion from his mother's death in 1821, and the
present Lord, his son, then came into posses
sion of the same .£2,000 a year,.which he is to
receive until his death.
Mr. James Abercrombie, the third son of
the gallant Sir RalPh; was brought`up to the
law, fixed his tent in England, and had scarce
ly put on.his wig and gown when his Whig
connections appointed him Commissioner of
Bankrupts, with a salary of £B6O a year—not
much, it is true, but .a very, nice, thing for a
briefiess barrister, and considerably more than,
in any. one Yearof his life, he ever made by
the practice of the law. He soon 'got into
Parliament—first for 'Midhurat, and then for
Caine. The was useful as a Whig 'partisan . ,
and this recommended him to the Duke of
Devonshire;who appointed' him his steward.
In 1827, he held the office of Judge Advocate
for six months. There was a certain Sir
Samuel Shepherd, who had been Attorney
General. In censequence of great deafness,
his having a seat on the Bench in England
was out of the question. The same ailment,
which was in course of rapid increase, so
impaired his efficiency as First Law officer
of the Crown, - that it was determined to
put him on the shelf. So, ho was made
Chief Baron of the Exchequer in Scot
land. They also made his son Receiver
General of the Duchy of Cornwall, with a
salary of £1,400 a-year, besides a pension of
£250 as ex-charge d'affairei at Munich. Here,
then, were two parties quartered. on the pub
lic, because one of tkem was actually inca
pable of business, from an incurable -and
increasing personal infirmity. The salary of
Chief Baron of the Exchequer in Scotland
was £4,000 a-year. What services did Sir
Samuel Shepherd perform for this large an
nual sum ? None. His deafness rendered his
situation a sinecure, and, even if he : could
have heard any cases, the Scotch would not,
have brought them before an English lawyer,
who knew nothing of 'the law of Scotlaiffi.
Early in 1828, Sir Samuel Stiepherd'retired
on a pension of £2,000 a year. It was ex
pected that his aineoure.would.have been abo
lished. -To have: done this would have been
just and -reasonable. and wonld_lhave:.hasm.....
_nf ,i4JX)I) to the public. 'The Duke of
Wellington was mu - wee - to_Abolish it. The
Duke of Devonahire's
.I"arlitunericarYrffiWora
was a great object, at that crisis, with the Iron
Duke, and.therefore, it was said at the . time,
Mr. James Abercrombie was appointed Chief
Baron of the Exchequer in Scotland. He'
continued in that high office—the beau.rtfeat,
of a sinecure—until 1832, when, for very
shame-sake, Lord Grey abolished it. But
provision was made for giving a retiring pen
sion of £2,000 a year for life, to Mr. Aber
crembie. What - for?—because from 1828 to
1832, he had received £l,OOO a year, and tried
four cases. Fancy the seriousness of a joke
like this : about four thousand pounds for
each case !
To make matters worse, it was salssegitont-.
ly stated in the House of Commons by Lord
Althorp— on the occasion of a pablic office
.becoming vacant, which Mr. Abercrombie; ,
might fill, and thus give value, in work, for
his £2,000.a year—that he had communicated
with Mr. Abercrombie, who declined accept.
ing the office, as the salary was not more than,
his pension. In other words, that he pre;
furred £2,000 a year withozit work to the same'
'sum with work. Eventually, however; in
1834, be did become Master of the Mint,: and
was Speaker- of the House of Commons from
1835 to 1839. For this he had, of course, ari
enormous salary and extensive patronage. As
a reward for his four years' occupancy of the
Speaker's chair, ho obtained a Peerage, as
Baron Dunfermline, with a pension of £4,000
a year, which, on his death, descended•to,his
son. •
The SPEIRO Rios Jos comes next.. Mr. Rice
had been useful in a subordinate Ministerial
capacity, and eventually became. a Cabinet
Minister. He • was Chancellor ,of the Ex
chequer from 1835 to 1839 ; and saw, in the
latter year, that the Whig dynasty must
speedily fall to the ground. He deternsined
to break his own fall. ACCordingly, he looked
about, and saw that the Comptrollership of
the Exchequer was a very nice situation.
That office had been created in• 1834 (inder
pretext of diminishing expenses)) and a very
amiable man, a friend of liberal principles,
and a true patriot—the late Sir, John, N.dw
port—waa made Comptroller. An, arrange.
mont was entered into with him- -the venera
ble Baronet retired, on a pension of 41,000 a
year, and Kr. Spring Rice, called into the
ITpper House as Lord Honteagle, was ap.
pointed Comptroller, with the salary of £2,000
a year. A majority of 240 to 212 in the
House of Commons condemned this arrange
ment as a rank job. Subsequently,_ Lord
ifouteagleie son became Commissioner of
Customs, with a salary of £l,BOO a year. This
family, it will be seen, have managed matters
very pleasaritly !
. The CAILPISULL Jou cannot be forgotten. Sir
John Campbell, when Attorney General, ob
tained a peerage for his 'wife, as Baroness
Stratheden, by way of compensation for not
having boon raised to the Bench, on a va
cancy, while ho was in office. In 1841, when
the Whigs were completely beaten, and thoir
retirement from office was daily wonted, they
actually compelled Lord ?Junket to resign the
Chancellorship of Ireland. Ho did so, and
thus became entitled to a pension of £8,092 a
year. Ho stated in open Court that he had
been forced to retire.• Sir John Campbell
was then created Lord Campbell—made Chan
cellor of Ireland, salary £B,OOO a par—
sed twenty-four hours as Chancellor, taking a
retiring pension of £3,692 for life.
Here, then, is what may be called ct The
Physiology of Jobbing :" The Grey List and
the Phinket Lia 6 ; the Canning job, which
was condemned in even the rankest time of
corrupt Toryism ; Sir Samuel. Shoplieid;too
deal for Attorney General, put on thq o peoch
in Scotland, with £4,000 a year, and resigning
on a pension, at the very nick of time when
.Mr. Abercrombie wanted something good;
Mr. Abererombie getting £4,000 a year for
presiding in a court, into which, from his igno
rance of Scottish Law, scarcely ever a case
was brought—retiring on' a pension of £2,000
a year—and, finally, after four years' Speaker
ship, getting .a Peerage and £4;000 a year,
with succession of the honor and the pensio
to his ,son ; lastly, the enforced retirement o
Plunket, with a pension of nearly £4,000
. •
Ntn, and a pension of like amount I,
Lord Campbell, for having sat twenty-four
hours in the Irish Court of Chancery.
The most curious part of the matter is this :
The parties Whom we have named were or are
"all honorable men." Mr. Canning, in pri
vate life, would have shuddered at the bare
idea pf doing any body out of tbe smallest
fraction of a sixpence ; but, when he had to
deal with the public—when the money came
out of}-the pockets - Of the people—he did not
hesitati3 to tax them to the tune of over four
teen thousand a year. So, too, Lords Grey
and .tPlunket would have scorned to have
Wronged their equals of a farthing, but they
did"no , t hesitate to fill all--vaeant offices within
their respective patronage with their near re
lations, no matter whether they were fit or
unfit for such offices. We dare. say -that Lord
Eineleireline would very much have condemned
a plerli, who, having been pensioned for doing
nothing, declined doing something in com
pensation for that pension 'but when - the case

The 'ceremonies were, first, the parade—line

followed in regular order , by,the Anderson Li g ht
Artillery of West Chester, visiting comPanies, the
First and Beienth Regiments, With - Beck's bind
at the front of the , entire column.'
The lite was
: reviewed by:Major McCall and
Governor Curtin, and after marobing through the
principal,streets halted at Everhart's Grove, wherit
the farmers of the 'county and.their good wives had
provided an abloodanoe of meats. milk, pastry,
batter, bread, pickles, /co., Upon arriving,
the band was stationed on the platform, com

We were ordered to be in line; ready for marob,
on Broad street, at seven o'clock precisely. We
were•there, punctually at the time named. 1 refer
now to all tbis Beaerves "as well as to the Home
.Guards. Most of the regiments and battalions
'were on the ground at half-peat six o'clock, and
yet, strange to tell, we were kept standing in the
broiling sun for almost three hours before the
orders to move' ere given. It may be said that
delays are neoessary attendants of rook extensive
parades Admitted ; bat who ever heard, of soldiers
being kept Standing in a hot 'July 'inn, on heated
'cobble stones, for three Mortal hours, and the
officers in command unable to give a single reason
for the delay? It was simply barbarous cruelty.
.It may not have been intentional ; but if not, it
certainly argues a great want of that great essen
tial in all good military commanders—a proper
care for the comfort of the men. It is to be
hoped that the autbore of this decided bungling
will, by the time they next order a parade, learn
to know that the men under their command are
human beings, and deserving of, little considers.
tion. '
Allow me to refer to another masterly military
movement. When the column halted for rest, the
right of the "First Infantry Regiment.of the Line
of Home Guards". reared on Spruce . street, near
Eighth. While the men were • taking a drink of
water. the head of the column moved tor ward, but
the officer in command of the First Regiment, in
stead of ordering his men to move also, delayed
giving. the orders until the troops ahead had ad
vanced four or five squares. Then the regiment
was formed in baste, the drums boat, not double,
•bnt triple quick time, and, with thiroommanding
officer at its 'tread, the regiment started on some
thing like a half run, which was kept up from
Eighth and Spruce.till near Pith and Arch, where
it overtook the main column... Only two companies
—company *A I Captain Gregory, and company F,
Captain Brodie—followed the fast oolonel in this
killing march. With the thermirmeter at 90. and
with men whellynnaeoustomed to street marching,,
you may imagine the condition of these two com
panies when they overtook their comrades. Many
of them were 'so completely, exhausted that they
were compelled to leave the ranks; others, who
could and should have followed, kept their plus',
simply from a sense of soldierly duty.
It is impossible to conceive how any officer, at
all - familiar with his duty, could have perpetrated
so gross- a blunder. Why was not one of the
mounted officers deepatched to the head of the
column to notify the commander-in.okief of the
break, and request a halt, until the detiohed por
tiona could be again united? Or, if this was not
possible, why did not the colonel of thw:regiment
marob his men at a pace which wouldlavis enibled
them to preserve their order in the rank's, and at
the suns time husband their fast-waning - strength
under the delay in Broad street and , the.tortnons
oharaoter of the route? As it turned out, the two
companies named were almost completely ex
hausted with fatigue, their regnlarity-in marching
was broken up, and their enjoyment: of• the occa
sion entirely destroyed. .
It is to be hoped that when a parade is - next
ordered, oar commanding officers will learn to
know the difference between - oommon and triple
time, and that with the thermometer at 90 deg. It
Is the part of a good officer to see to the .comfort
of the men underitis command, by marching theta
at the former and not at the latter.

The Money Market.
PHILADziparA, July '3,1831.
The speculative stook market was quite firm to
day, particularly for Reading Railroad stook,
which rose to 17i. For the investment securities
the market was more dull, though prices were
firmly maintained.
The North Pennsylvania Railroad bondholders,
at their meeting tip-day, deoided to fund the un
paid balanoe—Sve-sixtbs of. the coupon due Jan.
1,1861, and the two coupons due July 1,1861, and
Jan. 1, 1882, and the two next coupons or interest
payments due upon the Chattel mortgage ten per
cent. bonds. This makes the payment of interest
reoommenee Upon the coupons falling due subse
quently to Jmatiary, 1862, and brings the chattel
mortgage bondholders in for the bearing of a por
tion of the burden of the company. Bow they
will receive this-remains to be seen. The funding
of the unpaid balance of the coupons due Jan. 1,
1861, of which one•slxth was paid on aeoonnt,
comes unfairly upon many people not at all inte
rested in the railroad or its bonds, who have re
ceived them from bondholders in reliance upon
the good faith and hitherto custom of the,oompany
of paying these coupons off by instalments from
time to time.
