A BARGAIN.

The Archbishop of Saltzburg paid, in 1745, 995 scudi for his pallium,

and 31,338 for his confirmation; i.e. (roughly speaking) about 7,000_l_.

The pallium consists of two stripes of white wool, cut from two lambs

offered up, in St. Agnes's Church, on St. Agnes's Day, spun into a sort

of cloth by the nuns of St. Agnes, and consecrated by the Pope on the

altar of St. Peter's.
