LONDON, SLNDAY, J 1 E, 30.

The question of the interference with, and the
countenance afforded to, " The Beacon," and other
infamous periodical publications in Scotland on the
part of the Lord Advocate, came before the House
of Commons on Tuesday evening, on the motion of
r.Abercrombie, for a Committee of Inquiry—in our
political experience we have seldom seen a stronger
case made out, nor ever witnessed so feeble, so incf-

fectual an attempt at defence, or even palliation, of
a line of conduct which is calculated to pollute the
very sources whence Justice ought to flow—so far
as a public character was the Lord Advocate's con-

duet highly censurable—we meddle not beyond that
point, and therefore pause not to enquire how far a
man's private character for honesty and gentlemanly
feeling may be affated, by incontrovertible proofs

being adduced .that he had lent his influence and hi;
purse to forward a publication which was, from its
commencement to its end, devoted to falsehood, ca-
lumny, and misrepresentation. The House of Com-
mons, however, by majority of 25, decided that no
inquiry should take place—a decision which we
regret, because, in the estimation of the rational and
thinking part of society, one such vote will degrade
and sink the House of Commons more than all that
j the writings of the Radical Press could have achieved
in an age—one such vote declares louder than a
million of voices that the House of Commons wants
reform, and must be reformed by some means or
other—by force or by argument—by concession ur

compulsion.
The motion for the repeal of the Ministerial Pen-
sion Bill gave rise to as warm a debate as we re-
member.—The Marquis of Londonderry seemed to
have forgotten that he was not in the Irish House of
Commons, that theatre of his fame, and shewel a
little of his ability for the part of Bubadil—Mr.
Brougham, however, administered a portion of seve-
rity to him which doubtless restored him, and con-
vinced him that the English House of Commons
will not receive bullying in place of argument—.,
groat deal was said upon the indelicacy of alluding
to the shameful pension of Lord Sidraouth, and the
infamous sinecures held by his family ; in rep'•y to
which we beg to quote some observations made by
a very able writer, alludirg at once to a time of dis-
tress and to the disgraceful pensionings of Mr. Can-
ning's mother and sisters and other " near and dear
relativa"—" If some better remedy than the jocu-
larity of Mr. Canning is not applied, an end will
soon be put to his pension, and to the pension of
those near and dear relatives,' for whose eating,
drinking, washing, and clothing, every man in the
United Kingdom now pays his two-pence a year.—
You may call these observarions coarse if you please;
but I have no idea that the Sophias, and the Caro-
lina of any man breathing are to eat national ve:1;,
to drink public tea, to wear treasury ribbons, anl
then, that we are to be told that it is coarse to ani-
madvert upon this pitiful, and eleemosynary sph.i:-
1-ur. If this is right, why not mention it ? If it
wrong why should not he who enjoys the ease et
supporting his sisters in this manner bear the shame
of it? Every body seems hitherto to have spared a
man, who never spares any body." If meu will
pauperize their children and themselves on the cata-
logs of a distressed, oppressed, and suffering peorle,
they surely cannot be too much upbraided with it—
tenderness towards Lord Siamouth's son has been
invoked, because he is either an idiot or a lunatic—
his father should have ceased to take 7501. evLry
quarter of a year out of the public purse for his :.on
and this his calamity might have remained unknown

The carriage and horses belonging to the Duke of
York were seized under an execution for dat,
they were leaving the Palace on the late Court-lay.
The carriage and harness were sold on Wednesday
last for 991.—the horses have been redeemed by one
of his sisters.
On Wednesday, the purser of the Kent East In.
diaman landed at Lymington, with despatches for
the Company. These state, we understand, that
the differences which have existed between the Chi-
nese Government and the British interests have been
amicably settled. The Mandarin who went on
board the Tupaze frigate to see the wounded mu,
as we suspected, was the precursor to the arrangL •
mcnt. It was not likely that a quarrel would long
continue, when it was to the advantage of kith
parties to be at peaue. The Kent sailed from China
on the 26th of February.
• The election of a member to represent King's
Lynn, in Norfolk, in consequence of Lord Orford
having succeeded the Peerage, commenced on Thurs-
day last—a serious row took place, and the mayor,
afte having adjourne poll
d the to Friday morn-
ing,r sent oil to Norwich for the military to keep the

peace.
The immense bronze statute of Achilles reached
its destination on Friday in Hyde Park, and is to be
placed there to commemorate the battle of Waterloo.
We cannot conceive how Achilles is applicable to
that victory.
The Bank of Ireland will, it is said, follow the
example of the Bank of England, and reduce the
discounts to Four per cent.
