The contributors of the T ires 'ire, according to a writer in this monta’s Ladies’ Treasury, more handsomely paid than those of any other paper. No leader writer has less than £lOOO per annum ; but then it must be remembered that these writers are tied down to contribute to the Times alone; they may not even contribute to magazines or quarterlies, though they are allowed to write books. The correspondence budget in salaries alone amounts to nearly £30,000 a year. M. de Blowitz, the Paris correspondent of the paper, is paid £3,200 per annum ; Mr Lowe, at Berlin, has £2,500 ; the Vienna correspondent the same; the correspondent at Rome £2OOO, with rent of a residence ; Mr Simpson at St. Petersburgh the same. Even the lesser correspondents who do not wire a dozen and a half a dozen columns in the course of a twelve-month, are paid on scales varying from £lOOO to Senor Diaz, at Madrid, down to £5OO, to Her Julius Lax, who represents the journal in Brussels; and so on to the minimum of £250 paid to Mr Heinrich at Christiana; this latter sum seems small, but seeing that the correspondence wired or written to Printing House Square occurs only, as a rule, about fifteen times a year, the correspondent is fairly well paid for his work at the rate of nearly £l7 per message. Mr Fuller Maitland, the musical critic of the Times, gets a salary of £450 a year, and an allowance of 7s 6d for each concert he attends.
