What Royalty Costs.
In England, the annual revenues of the public exchequer are $423,000,000, of which the crown receives $3,300,000. In Germany it is much worse. Its various public treasuries receive annually $230,000,000, of which $13,000,000 go into the pockets of the princes. The King of Prussia has a civil list of 4,500,000. The King of Saxony receives nearly $1,000,000. The eccentric young King of Bavaria has upwards of three million florins a year, and the dull old King of petty Wurtemburg nearly $1,000,000. The court of the little Grand Duchy of Baden cost the public treasury eight hundred and fifty thousand florins annually. Russia has an income of $400,000,000, and pays $11,000,000 a year for supporting the imperial court. Italy, with an income of $220,000,000, gives the court of King Victor Emanuel annually $4,500,000. Turkey’s revenues amount to about $80,000,000, of which the Sultan and his family consume $6,700,000. The Spanish treasury receives annually $143,000,000, and pays to King Amadeus $3,500,000. Portugal, with an annual income of $25,000,000, spends $1,000,000 for the royal court. The Kings of Greece, Belgium, Denmark, and Sweden have equally handsome civil lists; and the poor Emperor of Austria, with a beggarly $5,000,000 a year, now protests that he cannot live on that sum, and that he must have $2,000,000 more or go to the poorhouse.—Mail.
