MONDAY, MAY 4. -40 - In the House of Commons, Mr. Creevey's motion respecting the Barbadoes and Leeward Island Du ties wa4 negatived, by acceding to the previous question—thus, what ought to be, and what was in tended to be, appropriated to the repairs of the forts and to other honest and useful purposes, is still to be misapplied to the payment of pensions—some of which have ken granted to persons to whore halter might, perhaps, have " done nobler justice." If we mistake not, the inestimable services of the Right Him. George Canning have laid these funds under heavy contributions in the shape of pensions to his pauper mother and sisters, while the House of Commons is called upon to add additional bur them upon the starving and desponding people, to meet expellees which the funds in question ought to defray.—Mr Searlett's new Bill tin. regulating the poor has boot read a second Cm:: we gave a copy of this Bill in our last, by rekrence to which our readers will perceive that in has three important points—first, to restrict the poor rates within the amount that was levied thailig the year terminating 't THE NATIONAL REGISTER ut Lady-day last—'secondfy, to deprive the poor of the rigid to relief, unless they be either ill or too old to work—and thirdly, to prevent the removal of any person who has been employed in a parish, without gaining a settlement in it, to the parish in which he or she may in truth and law belong. To the first, that is, the restrictive point, we would object, that the maximum of rate is fixed from a season of extra ordinary plenty and cheapness, and that if it become a law, and it should please Providence to visit us with a season or two of dearth, the poor must in evitably be starved, or the humane Overseer be liable to a refusal to pass his accounts, because he could not refuse to supply bread to " him who was ready to perish." As to the second point, it has always been the boast of our country, that no Eng lishman lives but who has a claim to supprt if he need it, and though we never would wish parochial aid extended to those who could obtain employment, but prefer a life of lazy pauperism, yet we should regret very notch that a law should It:: rermitteti to disgrace our statute-book, by making. the to obtain employment a crime, inotisitabk with starvation, because we know that, limit the stagnation of trade, hundreds wmild (IT eVe... tia . . in the streets, were so inhuman a L..% nor in exist ence. The third appears to be s !mint r,.. ;mum importance, but still deserving censure .—no nitro who is accustomed to the Apileal business ;:t the Sessions can be ignorant of the mai: : artiiiccs that are constantly used to prevent a proveablo-hiring of such a nature as to give a right of settlem;:tit ; and if the Bill pass in its present shape, no perSOn will engage a workman without as particular an sixa. mination into his health and constitution as is made by a Life Insurance Office before effecting a policy—and of course he whose appearance is not robust in the extreme will be rejected.—The Bill for the abolition of capital punishment for forgery, being one of a series of Bills of the same humane tendency introduced by Sir James Macintosh, has Ibeen committed, anti, we Imve r n tlmilit, will pass the House it. suite the e i gobiti.,ll of the solicitor-Gene, at.
