MR. HOOD'S PENSION.—Mr. Hood's pension was,
we understand, granted in the most kind and hand-
some manner by Sir Robert Peel. The amount is 1001
a-year, and it is for the life of Mrs. Hood ; that of the
author being, from ill health, unfortunately (in all
human probability) of a more precarious tenure. Whell
we think that such poems as his " Eugene Aram,"
" Old Oak Tree," " Song of a Shirt," and many others
of great power and pathos, not to mention his comic
originalities, will be read with delight two hundred years
hence, perhaps by the royal descendants of our Queen
and the noble descendants of our Premier, six or eight
generations removed, we could have hoped that the on
hundred pounds might have been two. But the periajos,
list, we fancy, requires tender handling to make it, Itata
out enough, where much deserved and tnieli wantei
Let us, therefore, be thankful for this instalment:
