BIOGRAPHICAL ILLUSTRATION AND
CRITICAL REMINISCENCES, BY " RADICAL."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sist,The pensions of the Civil List are now before me, and I
must confess I am affrighted at the task I have engaged to perform.
It is Herculean, and I would sooner adventure to attack the
Phrygian Boar, or Nenisean Lion, than anatomize the pages
which my eye has scarcely scanned. I, however, am pledged to
you and the public, and will proceed, invoking Cato's spirit and
411 hisploman virtue, to accompany me to my labours. I will, if
possible, spare so one, but I will not intentionally drag any one
before the public gaga but who I consider it indispensable to bring
forth Om the dark recesses of this hitherto forbidden forest into
public view; it is impossible but that I must be guilty of seen
mistakes, for as the mere names are only given, without ny re.
lation to services, or why these pensions have been granted,' can
make no distinction, but dress up all alike, as if they were
all undeserving. I must be allowed to remark that the abomin-
able system of pensions, us the whole exhibits, ought to, be
totally done awiv with. There should be no such an eata.
blishment attached to the revenue voted to the. Sovereign. The
Monarch's allowance should be distinct. It cannot be objected
to that such, allowance should he liberal and equal to maintain
the Royal conseqpence, as long as the people are pleased to
consider their happiness bound up in Royal protectic.n.,-
I would uphold the Royal establishment in ,pleadour as
long as there shall be such an establisim.nt, bUt then that
splendour should be really the recc.4-vefise for these sacrifices
which are exacted of tilos° persons who 'play rhe • Royal
part; but Royalty should be no covert for the abuses. of
the seryaras of the State. The Royal name stiovil;t not be
abused for the provision of a set of noble prtlelartes, or other
useless beings, who are foisted on ti',ss , public maintenance, to
tighten the burdens of their. soyiu immediate relatives. The
allowance to the Soymagn should be such as to enable him
not only t 9 he generous but to 13C splendid ; but then all
sUCI; at.ts at generosity and splendour should emanate tree:
his own bosom, and his Ministers should have 0.1 pretext
of using his nairic in granting rewards frga the public purse
to their own satellites. It is not lite amount of the sums that
I do so much complain cd hut' it is OM-lamentable system,. of
corruption vOiC.i. it introduces, and the sad example which
it lu',ids out to'' the "producing classes of society, that' tlse con,
Veniebces• of life are obtained by so, many' Qn their

The public mutt bear in Mind that this sum is totallyB3l indepen.

ticularly when I come to the Ordbance Department. Out of this
sum of 160,101.; tal,..en from the ihAtutry of the people, I shall be
able clearly to show that one-third of it has not been earned in the
public servite- Ai becoming one who has breathed the air of a
Court, I shall begin, as in clue order, with the noble personages
who claim relief from the public purse, under the pretext of
being poor peers, and which is a sufficient argument against he-
reditary legislators. As some have double charges, I shall bring
