It is possible, since this return was made, one or two may have changed their names, or departed this life; but, in the latter case, as others have doubtless succeeded of similar pretensions, it does not interfere with our purpose of illustrating the description of individuals that usually share the royal bounty. We shall proceed with our task, by briefly enumerating the remaining charges on the civil list. The first is the salaries of the foreign ministers and their secretaries, and the charges of the different consuls abroad. The expense for the out-fit, and service of plate to these gentlemen, is also very considerable; but these, together with presents in snuff-boxes, charges for royal yachts, and sundry other outgoings, appear under the head of civil-listcontingencies, and do not form a part of the ordinary charges. Part of the salaries of the lord chancellor and the judges are paid out of the civil list; also the salaries of the lords of the treasury and chancellor of the exchequer. The incomes of the royal dukes and princesses were formerly payable out of the civil list; but, with the exception of some inconsiderable annuities, they are now transferred to the consolidated fund. There are various miscellaneous charges on the civil list; some of them of great antiquity, consisting of allowances to the universities, to colleges, schools, individuals, and corporations; these, as well as an estimate of the more ponderous charges we have enumerated, will be best brought together in one statement, divided into six classes, as they were submitted to parliament on the 3d of May, 1816, previous to the civil list regulation-bill of that year.
