The House having resolved itself in a Committee of Supply, on the motion of Mr. LusnINGTON, Sir G. WARRENDER stated, that in proposing the Navy Estimates, he should not enter into any long details. The Committee of Finance had dis cussed every item so minutely, that his task would be reduced to a mere mention of the sums wanted. He should, at the same time, keep himself in readi ness to answer any question which might be asked, or any observation which might be started. He should only add, that the reductions in the Nary had never been carried to a greater extent that% they were by the present Estimates. He then moved, that a sum not exceeding £2,483,013. 12s. 7d. be granted to his Majesty for tlie ordinary esablishment of the INavy in 1819. _ _ _ _ GREENOUGH'S GEOLOGY.

He admitted, at the same time, that the public had an undoubted right to de• Inland every possible retrenchment from his Majesty's Ministers—(Hear, hear.) Mr. S. DOLX;LAS rejoiced that the forms of the House allowed Parliament to reconsider a vote for merly given, and obtained by surprise, in consequence 'of a declaration made by a gallant Admiral, that the services of the Lay Lords of the Admiralty were absolutely necessary. In consequence of the Report of the Book Committee, the House had agreed to make a proper alteration in the system of our cur rency. It bore the most promising appearance, but all agreed that it must be accompanied with a kind of tax on the country, and a considerable degree of difficulty and pressure. It was also known, that in order to carry this alteration into effect, the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite would propose new taxes at the beginning of the next v..eek, and amongst the rest (or the public were much misled on the sub ject), one which the Right Honourable Gentleman had himself voluntarily abandoned as contrary to the welfare of the country. In such circumstances it was a most important right, that which enabled the House to reconsider *very possible retrenchment.— The case of the Lay Lords of the Admiralty, though comparatively trifling, should not be omitted. In proportion as the expenses of the late war had ex ceeded those of all former contests, ought the re trenchmehts of . the present peace exceed all former retrenchments. • He was aware, at the same time, that it was impossible to effect such reductions as would matetiaßy diminish the burthens of the pee ple. All that could he done, was to teach it to bear them with patience, and that could not be accom plished without shewing every disposition to curtail' the public expenditure. He would ask the gallant Admiral opposite, oil his reputation in his profession and in society, to come forward and state whether the presence of the Lay Lords of the Admiralty was really necessary to the public service ? Could that be imagined, when it was known that one of the Honourable Baronets who filled those situations had last year spent five months in Bedfordshire, and the other as long a portion of time in Edinburgh ? It was said that their continuance WAS sanctioned by the Finance Committee. He hoped those Commit tees hal been sufficiently damned in the public opi nion to have lost all their influence. But that would certainly be the case, when it was seen that they suf- • fered the Lay Lords to remain, and recommended the abolition of the Naval Asylum ; not because that Establishment was useless or too expensive, but because the country was in such a state of exhaustion, as not to be deemed capable of maintaining the help less orphans bequeathed to her charity and her gra titude by her defenders!—( Hear.)—He and his friends had been accused of calling for paltry savings; but what were their propositions in comparison of the recom mendation of that packed Committee ?—(Hear, hear.) The Opposition objected to granting £lO,OOO, a year to the Doke of York, and i:5,000 to the Lay Lords of the Admiralty ; and why ? Because it wished to apply those sums to the support of Establishments like the Naval Asylum. For what purpose should we keep up our Navy ? To fight the armies of the Continent. When he was told that we must main tain a large standing army because other nations maintained them, he recognized one of those maxims issuinfroin the Continental schools, and adopted by the N oble Lord at the head of the Foreign Depart ment to degrade our policy. Sir G. COCK BURN conld not admit the fairness of calling upon him as a private and public character, to state whether the services of this or that individual were of any value. He had no objection, however, to stake his reputation as a public and private man, z,n thedeclaration, that he did believe it abiolutely necessary for the public service that the Board of Admiralty should be .constituted as it now was. He was positively of opinion, that if the Board was re duced, the public .service would be injured. With res pect to what had been said concerning a pretended preference in favour of the military, it ought net to be - forgotten, that soldiers, when discharged, had no employment whatever; sailors, on the contrary, im mediately entered into the merchant service. As a proof of this, the Admiralty had much difficulty in procuring the number of sailors recuisite to mar. the ships kept on active service. During the war, tne merchant vessels had been worked by fir eigners, who bad,.naui. been discharged, and British seamen em ployea is their stead. Mr. If: DOUGLAS had not enquired whether the Navy _ftard, as at present constituted, was useful to the public service. but whether the g.illant Admiral could state that the two Lay Lords were absolutely Mr. CALCRAFT complained of the recommenda don of the Finance Committee to put down the Naval Asylum, whilst the Military Asylum was al lowed to subsist, and even to pass unnoticed. He feared that the suggestion had been adopted by his Majesty's Ministers, for when the Navy was con cerned they were economical enough. If there were any Estimates, the amount of which he felt disposed to increase, it was those ler the Navy. He did not consider the number of men voted for that service sufficient—it was in all 20,000 ; but of these only 14,000 were sailors. The rest were marines. In for mer times the votes for the two services had been co extensive—but at present all proportions were disre garded, and we had an Army of 100,000 men, with a Navy of only 20,000! He wished to know whether it 'was determined to adopt a new system altogether, and to abandon what used to be called "The Wooden Walls of Old England ?" He reproved the continu ance of the Lay Lords of the Admiralty, at a time when it was necessary to diminish the burthens of the people. He could not conceive the House would vote any seertax till sufficient reductions had been made in the public expenditure—and he should never .Free to grant one shilling till that enormous sum of £11 , 000 , 000 at the head of the Finance account, had been thoroughly sifted. Much economy might take place in the collection of the Revenue. He under stood that the Board of Excise had proposed to Go vernment to collect the Customs at a very reduced rate. The Excise Duties were now collected at the rate of £5 19s. 6d. per cent. and those of the Cus toms at El 1 19s. sd. per cent. A saving to the amount of nearly one-half would therefore be effected if the proposal of the Excise was accepted. But in Ireland it was still worse. Thp Customs were now collected in that country at the enormous rate of £2l 181. per cent. He trusted that those matters would be duly investigated, and that the easy and immense saving thus held forth, would not be lost to the country. To the ;resent grant he should not object, any more than to the Estimates themselves. Sir G. WARRENDER explained, that far from having put down the Naval Asylum, the Resolution now in the Chairman's hands included a sum of £14,000 for that Establishment. The Committee of Finance had, it was true, recommended its abolition, and .Ministers might take into future consideration die propriety of diminishing its expense—but it was their intention to maintain the Establishment itself.— The Honourable Gentleman had complained that a larger naval force had not been proposed, but the present was considered fully equal to the wants of the country. Let it not be imagined that our Naval Establishment was in a state of decay. It was placed on such a footing, that whenever the occasion might require, our Navy could be immediately restored to a state of rigour and activity A nasal armament could always be brought forward with diOre,rapi: dity than a military one.
