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

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

stagnation of trade, hundreds wmild (IT eVe... tia..

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

COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.—A new time, en-
titled the Grand Tour ; or, Stopped at Rochester,
was produced at this theatre on Tuesday night.—
The plot consists in three young teliows, a waggish
artist, &bright by name (Mr. Jones), a modest
music-master, Blushington (Mr. Duruset), and a
French dancing-master, Mons. Pastoral (Mr.
Yates), having joined in the purchase of a share of
a lottery ticket, which is drawn a prise, become
entitled to ,(1001. among them, which they agree
to spend in making The Grand 'four together.—
But arriving at Rochester, they stop there some
time, till their fnnds being nearly exhausted, they
are rather at a loss whether to proceed further or
return. Illushington, however, having contrived,
during their st ty, to win the heart of Letty (Miss
Beaumont), the dasghter of Venture, a general
dealer at Rochester (Mr. Blanchard), who has fixed
the next day for her marriage with Violet, a cockney
oil and colournom in Iligh.holborn (11r. Liston),
whom he has never seen, &bright undertakes

which, after one complete defeat, he at length suc-

have been obtained upon terms so much more fa-

lie advised her to remain where she was until the
evening, when she might go to a lodging-house,
less exposed to observation. She told at most piteous
tale ; sue was hungry, weary, and without money
to procure timid or lodging. konwing the tricks of
vagrants he watches! her, and saw several shillings
given to her by some hulks. Some hours after-

bundle contained. The lacy was unwilling to reply ;

money, the boy at length coittessed that the Lunde
contained the gill's ch tins. Ile ucknowledgeit
that in the morning she stripped hi rself in a neigh-
