LONDO IV,
TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 6, 1834.

Mr. HARVEY'S motion was negatived by a
arger majority than was anticipated. The mo-
tion which he made on the 18th of February
was supported by 182 members, while he had
only 148 with him last night, owing probably
to the circumstance that, while that of the
18th of February related chiefly to the
duties of members of the house, the mo-
tion last night related to the conduct of the
Monarch. It called on the KING, in fact, to
inquire into the character and claims of those
on the list, thereby insinuating that his
MAJESTY had granted or confirmed pensions
without examination or due consideration. Any
such insinuation against the Sovereign is
always objected to except on some great emer-
gency, and we therefore condemn Mr. HARVEY
for wording his motion in such a way as to
exclude many who are favourable to the prin-
ciples of just economy and reward of meritori-
ous services on which the motion was found-
ed. Mr. STRUTT'S amendment was nearly
a fac-simile of Mr. HARVEY'S motion of the
18th of February, and we are glad to find that
the minority was raised from 182 to 230, and
that such a vast number of the members are
decidedly hostile to the objectionable way in
which many pensions were originally granted,
though they had no wish to interfere with the
will of the Sovereign. It was singular enough,
that though such strong language was used
against some of the pensioners, no defence
was set up for them. They were saved,
not by the justice of their claims, but by
the reluctance of the members tp interfere with
an arrangement sanctioned by the KING. We
do not envy the feelings which the discussion
must excite in every undeserving pensioner,
who has a particle of independence left. The
words of Lord ALTHORP are very strong on the
subject. " There were many individuals on the
list who were possessed of large property besides,
and as he could not enter into the feelings of
others he would say nothing to their continu-
ing the pension. All that he would say was
that if he were so circumstanced he would not
continue to receive the pension." The strong
feeling evinced by the votes of the house on the
two occasions will form some guarantee that
such gross abuse of a grant, intended for the
best of purposes, will not be sanctioned by any
future ministry.

We refrained until yesterday from adverting
to the bill brought in to correct abuses in the
administration of the Poor Laws, because we
felt the difficulties of the subject were fully
equal to the importance of it. Taking the bill
to be the production of those by whom the late
repeal of the Poor Laws was framed, we think
that a great deal more of deference and consi-
deration is due to it than it has received at the
hands of some of our contemporaries. If we
admired the clearness and distinctness of state-
ment, with the succinctness and appropriate use
of details, and their application to principle
which distinguished that report when it first
appeared, our admiration has been much in-
creased since we dipped into the multifarious
communications contained in the large volumes
which have since issued from the Vote Office.
We have looked into the bill in vain for grounds
to justify the animadversions which have been
cast upon it. It has been said that the three
Commissioners to be appointed by the bill
are to be irresponsible. But is it really so ? Is
there not a clause in the bill requiring the com-
missioners to make annual reports of their pro-
ceedings to the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, which he is directed to lay before
f; Parliament ? And in what does the responsibi_
lity of public functionaries in this country really
consist ? Is it not in publicity, and through
publicity, in the watchfulness of a disposition
in human nature that is more inclined to
