PENSIONERS AND PLURALISTS.--Mr.
Harvey's motion for an inquiry into civil list pensioners
e;nbraced only a fraction of the entire numbers; some of
the largest and perhaps most objectionable are charged on
the consolidated fund and West India duty. This will be
apparent on reference to the roll of pensions in the Block
Book,—a work which on this, and every other public
abuse, is replete with authentic information. Nl'hy, too,
not institute inquiry into the enormous amount of church
pluralists and their patrons, contained in the same invaluable
record of civil and ecclesiastical misgovernment. During
the three years' labour of the " Reform Ministry and the
Reformed Parliament," we regret so little progress has
been made in removing the opprobrium attached to British
institutions, by the publication of the extraordinary volume
to which we have alluded.
David Hume had frequent discussions with
his friend Dr. J.—, on the subject of religion ; the
one maintaining the sufficiency of the light of nature for
all practical purposes, the other insisting on the necessity
of revelation. One evening, after a long argument on
the subj ct, at Dr. Hume rose to take leave.
The Doctor begged that he would wait a single moment
for a candle to let him see the way down stairs. " Noe"
says the philosopher, " there is light enough still remain-
ing." lie began to grope down the staircase, when un-
luckily putting his loot into a tub of dirty water left be-
hind by a careless chamberlain, he lost his balance and
rolled down heavily to the landing place. Dr. J
hastened with a candle to his assistance, exclaiming, as ith
ill-suppressed triumph, " Oh, David, David, 1 alwaya
told you the light of nature would never do !" o.rford
