and younger children, and the 'remaining wool.
to his eldest son for his 'natural lint. His• eldest
the late Lord Rodney, enjoyed the pension but
a short time after his father's de.atlr, and it was now
proposed ,to. eontinue that pension to the present
Lord. There were several who heard him were old
enough to reinember the brilliant viEtOry gained-by
tfie distinguished Officer who first possessed this title*-

cedent .to that victory, but not on that . account
the less impoilant, Which, on the, contrary, en-
titled that distinguished Officer. to every- mark
of approbation frqm llls 'Country. As to the, ge-
neral 'principle On Which These remunerations were

a whole profession, and stimulated every one
in it, to seize every opportunity of exerting hiniself

more important than that those' who were fighting
the battles of their Country. should be thoroughly
