t 1( ti sl tI is tf CI tl a fi O O ri I S ai ti b ai ci t( lU ti 111 TI 0 it is h ti Si ai pl scale. to the . the tine, (vit. • -- " .2 ' r g" /%1 ' qt, , Boat wain, and Csvpenter), which must give great disgust to those valuable classes. Upon what just principle their Widows have been passed over, cannot be easily conceived ; the three first, Master, Surgeon, and Purser, associate with the Lieutenants, and, except in points of duty, are cons idered in every respect their equals, yet there is now a considerable difference in the Pensions 'al:- breed to their Widows. A Lieutenant's is in creased to fifty pounds per annum, while that of the Masters and Surgeons remains at forty pounds, and the Pursers at 30. If it should be said that the reason of this difference is the superior emoluments o f this description of Warrant Officers, the argument will not hold good upon examination, for the pay of one of them (the Master) is, in some rates, Wife- . rior to that of a Lieutenant; and, except •in . the first and second rates (of. which the number in come ' mission is always.too few to albeit of a datum for cal culations of this kind), it is very little superior.--t Surgeons, certainly, in many instances, receive con s i t terahle more pay than Lieutenants ; but as far as regards saying money, as a provision for widowhood, the difference in -their sharing 'prize- money may b.' fully equivalent to this disparity of pay. —Pursers, particularly of line-of-battle, are frequently in the way of making a slttffi ciency to preclude their widows from resorting to the pension as a means of support, but they also, not onfreqemilly, die very necessitous; and as the the oath required to be taken, previous to every pay ment, prevents the affluent from participating in this relief, there can be no good reason why those who are really in want should not be put upon the same, or nearly the same, footing, as their companions and associates. But if this principle of allotting the pensions, in an inverse , ratio to the rate of emolument, be admitted, how will it apply to the three other warrant officers, Gunner, Boatswain, and Carpenter? Their pay is, is most instances, indeed a pittance, and, at the very highest rate, does not nearly equal that of a Lieute nant ; therefore, we must look to some other mo tive for passing over the widows of this description, in the recent increase ; it may, probably, be the consideration, that their wives are of a much lower situation in - life than the others; and this must be admitted, and it is a good reason. why their pensions should be lower, but not ary, I apprehend, why they s!:ould not atways have a 'proportionate increase, m lieu an alteration is Made in farour - of their bet ters. Twenty years ago the pension of a Gunner's widow - was equal to two-thirds of the pension of a Lieutenant's Widow, the one being twenty, and the other thirty Pounds per.annum • it is now only one half, the rata being tvrenty-ve pounds and fifty pounds; if the old proportion was adhered to, the amount of the lowest description 9f pensions would. be thirty-two pounds pol annum, and they certainly ought not e in angtice, to be less. The Masters and Surgeons, W it is eot thoughrright that their widows should be meetly upon the same footing as those of the Golimitikinned - Officers, .ohoald be forty-tire Pounds, lesi the Parsee, if a further distinction is necessary f f whositho climbs are all equal in respecta bility, might be forty pounds. ! should not think that an arrangement .of tits kind would increase tais department of. - expence - to the - public very much, but it lipoid give unspeitkaple relief to the unfortu nate relicts of a very esiritorkos class of the cote sanity: • I cannot formes, judgnaeat of the amount fur. ni.hed by Government *to the , Pension. Fund, but a very large sum it *paid by the 'Officers themselves (perhaps, at present, not less than 10,000 f. per an. num), by a deduction of threepence in the pound, him their full - and lool&pay, and rheieWidows can not be entitled to arty Pension unless this deduction is paid up to the throe of their death; ill classes that. unntribute in his way have, therefore, an equitable interest in the appropriation of their Contributions. D!ld ronsequesitly, their'relative proportions first t.hli,hed, should be still kept up, at least, they ought not to be altered tisiThe comparathe injury of any of the classes contriitoting to this common Fund. It is to be hopssl,tbat the Admiralty will re-consi der and make some adslititm to their recent regula tion in this matter, as there must 'have been a num ber of individual representations from the parties ag. grieved ; but if that is not donersoin, :I trust that one of ou r i n d e p en de n t Metibers Of Parliament will take the business up, and cell the attention Of the House and the public p to it: Mr. WicaLuroace,s philanthropy might .bei perhaps, dintecetifully 'em ployed —the mere mention of it inost call for some explanation of :the principle upon which these appa rently unfair revaluations hate . hers* made, and such explanation may, perhaiss;• be safisfaitory 10 the country and to the parttes who are excluded from the benefit of them ; and it is the more necessary as the Naval Lords of the Admiralty, who, I presume, have the management of this fund, or at least a principal r qntrnol over it, Investl of them been Lieutenants, I .:at not one of them have sprung from.eitber of those v.o.uahle classes of Officers whose widows have been tieated . in this'instance with such unmerited neglect. l am, &c.
