That prerogative bad , and none now existed but that the Mutiny ; for if the presogative et occasion was there to pass an sn it? This led him to the conclusion Dgetive existed only by this Act, for th►s prerogative was exercised exist , which, if it were not passed. the cessarily cease with it. fee Noble the Articles of War confirmed this was clear that the Articles of War per. which were against the spirit of t authority was given to these Arti bat all Article, of War should helm ve Muse. If this were dune, he was ,em would be founvl inconsistent with irit of the Mutiny Act. It was stated Ministers, that all the Military Go ope, Austria, Russia, Prussia, and P France, had not the power of eisrisissal without a Court Martial, if so, how much less necessary was such a power to this. country ? It was a system of the greatest cruelty end tyranny to dismiss persons who bad served for forty or fifty years, without giving them an opportunity of -vindicating themselves. Mr. C. W. WYNN said, that he had now for the first time heard it asserted in that house or elsewhere., that the -Wag of England possessed no prerogatives, except what were granted to hint by Acts of Parliament.—(Hear. hear.) The lion. tient!eman, with his great legal know ledge, would perhaps condescend to point out the pad cilia Act., nay, the particular section of the Acts, by which a few trifling prerogatives, sad), for instance, as the power of making war and peace, and of assembling and dissolving Parliament—were recand to the Crown. zo-(Clieers and laighter.) The lion. Geneeman. had stid that there was nothing in the Mutiny Act which gave the King aethority to dismiss an officer. Let the lion. Gentleman consider hew far his argument might I, e carried. Did he mean to contend that the King could not dismiss a private soldier for misconduct—that be Could not di•ffiand a mutinous regiment without bringing every individual in it to trial by a court-martial? If there was any thing in the Goa, tientenian's argument, it must go to that extent.--(Hear.) He believed that the prerogativ• in,tioestion might be used most betteticialy for the phblic in cases in which it would he - imp rudent ‘ubje..t. tat:ers to 3 trial by a court-martial.• (Hear.) Lord 1-10 I'HAIL as holding &commission lit tole army, was anxious to says few words on the present anbject. 11. could never b. lieve that prerogative weuld have continued so !wig ii it had not HMIs foundation. in lag. Being appealed to among other lion. Members., as to toludwor . k05t..1141. sto t.zoteet,a.c•egairs vote „which he had given on a former occas, n, he would now sty that lie certainly .li.l apt, as he had given it entirely prom a sense or duty, - more danger was to be apprebewled from a s•anding army, if the proposition of the Hon. Gentleman were sauctiot ed by the Itouse, than from any exercise of tor Royal prrtogitive. It seas not necessary far hint to arty that, as having spent his life in the army himself, be was anxitats to stiaitt every point in favour of it, consistently with his higher duties as a Member of that House. Sir ERANCIS BLAKE said h . e eoulti not snpport the antendnien., for on r•ferting to the Articles of War, be tood that nun commissioned or might be reduced at the will of the Colonel. Then as Culawels had that power over con-commissioned officers, surely the King ongbt to have it over Officers who hold commissions. For his own psrt, lie found treat benefit from the King having the power to dismiss Officers, for he spoke in re ference to a regiment which he once had the honour to command. The Anwndment was then negatived without a divi sion, and the original motion being carried, the House went into a COMMITTEE ON TILE BILL. Colonel DAVI ES then proceeded to combat some o' the arguments adduced upon the pestion which le,vt! been just decided, and maintained that the power vented to the Crown by the 13. h and 14th of Charles I I. had no thing whatever ludo with the Mutiny Act. Mi. WYNN rose to order, and said it was quite irre gular for the lion. Member to refer to a debate in which the House had already decided. • The CHAIRMAN, boa ever, held that the argument. referred to the general merits of the que.tion before the Courneittce. CoL DAVI NS then continned and nrged his objections in "detail against the exercise of the crerogative in the matiber'stited. He denied that because the Crown had the right to dismiss officers, it ought to act upon it iu all cares.. By the zl7th section of the Articles of War, every • offence against them was punishable at all times, but entilely not without previous trial. The well-known arguments he .faystur elf prero gative, eras prescription, bet that Would sot hold good in this cause. He admit /N that there was no Act of Parliament against the dis ellisge of a watchman, but the rights of an officer were protected by the Articles of War. The lion. Member, an thicourre of some further observations, said that ac cording to the status nts of the Nob!e Lord (Palmerston) - Do reliance could be placed on men of honour and edit 'ration, sworn on their oaths to do justice in the trial of parties ; but if they were not to be trusted, •why, he ward,' aik, were cases to be referred to them at all ? Lord PALMERSTON said it was not usual for lion. Members to make a second speech on the same subject. He bad never stated that the Act gave to the Crown the prerogative, but that it recognised a prerogative which had previonsly existed. lie denied that tbenth Section of the Articles of War said any thing against the power of the Crown to dismiss officers. That power, in the case Of military officers, was altogether different from that which it possessed over civil subjects. The Crown might pronounce an act to be a military offence, which was not so in a civil sense. Officers purchased their commissions with e liability to all the consequences attendant on ex citing the displeasure of the Crown. If the officers of the !limy were once independent of the Crown, the Minnie might then see what language they would make use of. Mr. FLUME wished to krow if this Bill was a copy of the Bill of last year. Lord PALMERSTON said the only alteration it con tained 'was for transferring the exturitnation of military accounts in Ireland to the proper office in London; and for providing the punishment of hard labour in certain offences. Mr. HOME desired to know what was meant by " this army fling kept tti. to balance the power of Europe."— This was only one of the many absurdities which the Bill contained. Lord PALMERSTON said that this absurdity, if absur dity It could be called. had been recognized by tile Parita meat of WI dam ill. If the lion. Member did not know what was meant by thu balance of power in Europe, ha (Lord P.) could not take upon hlmseif to enlighten a mind so constituted.—(A laugh.) Mr. BENNET said a few words, which were not audible in the gallery. Mr. CR EEVEY said that In the time of William 111. the balance of power was understood aad maintained. At that Cite the Duke of Marlborough frustrated the attempts of Franror agß'uNt the independence of Spain. At present, I qweyer, the case was quite eitlerent. for France was pre paring, it appeared, to attack Spain without opposition. The House then resumed, and the Report was ordered to be received on Monday. NAVY ESTIMATES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for the liouse to resolve itself low a Com mittee on the Navy Estimates. Sir F. OMMANEY wished that the widows of naval ers were placed on the same footing with the widows of military office's, with respect to the rrg uletien of their ai -1 >trances. Ile SI-EAKER having left the Chair, the House went Eto tar Committee. and Sir JOHN OSBORNE rose and observed. that the esti mates icr wear and tear having been already granted; it now rruatined for hioi to move the necessary supplies tor the ordinaries and extraordtearies. The first item was for wages to labourers employed in dockyards. The next item was taken from the extraorJinaries, and included the charge for tituber, pilotage, wages, and contingencies. In this par ticular brunch a great reduction had taken place its conse quence of the Navy being hrougnt to so great a state of effi cienly. In the second branch a reduction hat taken place io t.,e items of bait-pay, superannuation. and widows' clia ri;:i ; but there was au additional charge for Greenwich I les pital to the amount of SIO,OOO/. 141 the third branch there was an a Idiiional charge for salaries to offic--rs in the dock gaads, in coapequeuee of the showance made itir the r Von' 'that had taken place, In tae extraordinaries there WK.. a ie4lection for the charges on the building and rcpt's 4,1' ships. The whole would show a decrease in the estimate:, THE STATESMAN this year, as compared with the last, to the amount of 516,8641. Its. 3d. Last year the Estimates voted amounted to 4,480,4051. to which was to be added for Greenwich Hos pital, making a total of 5,790.4051. The Hon. Member then stated that the whole amount of the Estimates] this year, including the charge for old stores would 12 1 11 3,373,3 a. This sum he thought would appear very mode= , rate when it was considered that we had this year 4eoool more seamen than in the last. He could confidently state, that the Navy of Great Britain was never in a more efficient condition than at present. The Honourable Member then moved that a sum not exceeding 55.4341. be granted for the as:Brits and contingent expenses of the Admiralty. ] Mr. HUME thought that two million might with pro ]priety be taken from the expenditure of the Army, and added to that of the Navy. He denied that the Navy was now in a better state than it was three years ago.— Having expressed his regret that the reductions at peseta proposed mere not made eight yeat'e ago,he came to con sider the vote before. the Committee. The first item to which he objected was the salary of 1,0001. to the Paymaster of Marines. To six clerks under that Pay master, at salaries'amounting together to 1,7701. he also objected. The next item was the salary of the Paymas ter of Widows' pensions, being WO!, and the sum of sag. yearly to his clerk—all those together amounted to the sum of 3,4501. Betides this, there was a snug of 2001. a year more given to the Secretary of the Admiral 'y for .lending to the correspondence with the Corporation for the relief of Naval officers' widows. In the discus skin which took place on the subject last year, it was re eommended that some of those officers might be dis pensed with entirely, and that some might be united with other officers. The Honourable Member then idverted to a correspondence between the Treasury and the Board of Admiralty ( in which the former recommended to the latter to take into their con- sideradon whether the office of Perna ter to the Nary might not be abolished, and 'the du'irs done by the Treasurer to the Navy. That la commenda tilts was made ih 1811, and the Adinirithy took two years to aeswer it. He was at a toss to know how a greet number of offices should be deemed accessary for faciti tsting a business SO simple. He was of opinion that toe Paymaster of Marines, and Paymaster of Widows' Pen sions, with the expense of both offices, as well as the alUl. a year for inspecting the Correspondence on the latter subject, might be easily done away With, and that the business of those officers might he transferred to the Paymaster and the Treasurer of the Navy. Feeling so, he thought it his duty to propose that the grant pro posed might be reduced by the sato of 3,650/. Ile did not see any necessity to give the Paymaster of B,lss) Marines 1,00111. salary, when the Paymaster of the whole Nave had but MM. He thought the whole business could he better conducted before the Navy Board, and for that reason, as well as for the saving, of the public money, he trussed the Committee would support his amendment. The amendment being put from the Chair, Sir 6. CLERK supported the original grant, and said that no persons had greater labour or responsibility than those officers, who were ,proposed to . he abolished. If the &tires were to he ahobsbed, and the business trans ferred to the Trearurer of the Nevy, there would be no thing saved, beesase there would be in that case an addi tional number of clerk., and an increased establishment proportioned to the increase of business. The payment Of the Marines was butt a small part of the Paymaster's dimities. He was also obliged to act as inspector. If the Honourable Member was aware of the quantity of correspmdenre from the omporte to the Paytuaster'a office, he would admit that six el-rks were necessary.— On the grounds of economy even, he - opposed the amend ment. Mr. HUNIE said tlat he requited the junction of offi cars which were united bet'. ore. The 1 reasurer of the Nary had formerly acted as Paymaster of Widows' Pen sions. What was once might be so again. The Army and Ordnance Barracks were wider the same Board. He could not see why the Navy and Marine business might not be united. Sir J. OSBORNE said, that when the Treasurer of time Nary retell as Paymaster of Widow,' Pensions, those pensions were nor tae-twen'ieth of what they were at preen'. ] Sir J. YORKE suppneed the original grant, and ] contended that the Secretary to the Admiralty was the fittest person for inspecting the correspondence with the Corporation for the distribution of Widows' Pensions. Mr. CROKER complai fled that the lion. Member (Mr. Hume) did not read the arguments in time correspond ence to winch he had alluded. He begged the attention of the Committee to extracts from that correspondence, ]which hr read. The office of Paymaster of the Navy was dependent on the Treasurer of the Navy • lie was his deputy, and was liable to be tamest au at Navy; pleasure. The lieymaster 'if Marines was independent, had great responsibility, and important duties to perform, and was obliged to give security to the amount of 20,0001. The present sys . em of carrying on th it business was by f.r the cheapest, and that he would prove, if required, be fore a Committee up stirs. If the offices were to be united, ansadditional number' of persons /Mould be em ployed. Nothing, therefore, could be gained in the way of saving expense. But it was not on the ground of economy alone lie sof.ported those establishments, hut ' for the saka of facilitating and expediting the public ' business. Sir F. O'IMANEY defended the existing arrange ments of time Admir ttty, but contended that the widows of Assistant Surgeons in the Navy ought to be included among thole who had a claim to yellows' pensions. He had taken the trouble to apply persohally on that subject to the Secretary to time Admiralty, who an swered that greater men than Ime (Sir F. Ommaney) had taken on themselves the trouble of considering that subject. lie could not receive such a reply from a S.mre tary to the Admiralty. or any other Secretary; and un less lie should have a favonrahle communication on that point from the Lords of the Admiralty, or their Secre tary, he would take an opportunity of moving an address to his Majesty that Assistant Surgeons widows might be included among those wk.) were entitled to witlows'pen ainns. Time Hon. Member , alter some more observations, moved, that inete md of a reduction of 1,0001., more 'night he mot& Ito the grant. The CHAIRMAN said the Hon. Member could not make an amendment f:r adding !u tile sum already moved in the Committee. Sir F. OM MANEY contended that he had a right to move a larger sum if he thought the sum first proposed was tco small. The f HAI KHAN again observed, that the Commit tee could not increase the. sum recommended by the Crown ; bat they might diminish t me a nount of it. Sir J. 'YORKE, asked wit Vier, it be thought time money proposed was out i.-nt for b molding saipi and ober expellees, lie bad ma a right to wove an increased soul? The CHAIRMAN. repeated his former opinion. Mr. CHOKER spoke in explanation. . Sir. F. OHMANEY contended that fire Lords of the Ad m iralty were necessary fur conducting the business of the Lk . Mr. ELLICE hoped that no more delay than was abso lutely necessary, might be made in the passing of the Navy Estimates. sir ISAAC COFFIN said, that ever &ire he ha•l a seat in Perliaiseht, attempts were emanstamtly wade to grin-I the Navy down to dust,althoogh it must be known W' all, that our Navy wee time couotry's oil-post at all times, and particularly in time of war. Sir J. YORKE was surprised to hear mit an expres sion from the gallant Admiral, at a time when it was 'proposed to add 4,0010 men W the Navy. S .. Sir, CCOFFIN declared that the Nazi 'Oliver :Wes II a more naked elate than at present. The amendment was negatieed, and the original Reso-1 lotion was agreed to. On the Vote for the sum of 324,360 f for the building, *pair, and fitting of his Majesty's ships, Ike. Sir .1. YORKE wished to know what was the condi tion of ships built under rover, as compared with those which bad been built in the open air ? Sir B. MARTIN said, they were all in excellent con dition. Indeed, at no period of our naval history could England boast of such a fleet as she now possessed. — (Hear!) On the Resolution for the sum of 6,2271. fur the Royal Naval College, and School of Naval Architecture, Mr. HUME wished to know how it happened that so many of the individuals educated in the School of Naval Architecture were not employed the aervice. It ap peared that out of 27 who had been educated in that School, only seven had been provided. Mr. CROKER said, they were employed as often as a vacancy occurred. In order to. remedy the inconvenience alluded to by the HOB. Member, it war the intention of the Admiralty to reduce the number of the individuals educated to one-half. Sir J. YORKE bore testimony to the talents of our naval architecture. No country in the world could boast oleo many able shipwrights as our own. On the vote of 1,500/. bounty to Chaplains, Mr. HUME complained of the practice of superan nuating naval chaplains, when they were disabled from discharging their duties from any temporary cause, as in a case to which he had alluded last session, instead of placing them on the same footing as parish clergyuieti, by appointing a curate to assist them. Mr. CROKER said the Board of Admiralty had taken the most effectual means of ascertaining the merits of the case, alluded to by the lion. Member, by suspending the pension of the indiriival in question, until it ap peared that the clergyman was prevented front discharg ing his duties by the greatest of all human calamities, the occasional deprivation of intellect. Sir J. YORKE said, that unless some provision were made for naval chaplains in case of age or infirmity, no respectable man could be found todcnounce the drinking of grog in a gentleurse-like manlier. 7,000/. was then voted to make good the, charges to Widows and Orphans on the Compassionate List. 100,000/. for the Wtdows' Charity. 300,900/. for Greenwich Hospital. 170,149/. for Superannu itions and Pensions ; and 29,0031. to defray the Building of Ships in the East Indies. On the last motion, Mr. HUME asked whether there were any existing contract for the supply of foreign tim ber ? He had heard of a contract with sonic place in the Adriatic'. Sir B. MARTIN said there once was such a contract, but there was none in existence at present. Upon a motion that 124,000/. be graced towards the improvement in the Dockyards, Sir J. YORKE wished to know what was the state of the harbour at Sheerness. He thought if the Gentlemen of the north were to come south, the state of that harbour would be a matter of importance. Sir B. MARTIN replied that it was all finished but the inverted arch and the entrance gates. 205,0001. was then voted for the Victualling, and 184.3001. for the Transport Department. BNIIATISIIICD GRANTS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved that the sum of 59,1921. be granted to his Majes ty for the purpose of satisfying the deficiency of the Consolidated Fund in Ireland since 1517, and for paying the arrears due to prior Clergymen in Scotland. The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and asked leave to sit again. The House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be received on Monday. NATION4a. DEBT BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, the third reading of this Bill. Mr. G. BENN i E wished it put off till Monday. The CHANCLLLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought most of the points had been discussed. Lord A. li AMILTON wished to know whether the Lottery was to form any part of the Ways aid Means, as be meant to oppose it, and he thought acquiescing in the present motion would afford an argument in favour of the Lottery. The third reading was deferred till Monday. WATS AND 3IEANS. The House having resolved itsvlf into a Committee of Ways and Means, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that 59,1921. granted for the purposes state.l in his mo. tion in the former Committee, be raised out of the tins appropriated balances of the Consolidated Fund. The e 4,81K1,000/. •out of the sums received in 1823 from th Trustees of Naval and Military Pensions, be applied t° the ordinary supplies of the year. Mr. HUME could not suffer this. They were voting money ; and he believed the Commissioners had no money in their hinds. The CHANCELIAM of the EXCHEQUER.—TheI motion before the Comuiitte t had nothing to do with where the money was got. Ile then moved that the ha= lance of unclaimed Dividends and Lottery prizes in the Bank of England; all sinus which might be paid into the E a elieqner in 1523, in consequence of Exchequer Rills advanced for public works ; and the estimated amount of the unappropriated produce of the Consolidated Puna, in the year ending sth April, 1824, beappfied to the ordinary supplies of the year. All these Resolutions were agreed to. The House then resumed, and the Report was ordered to be receive I on Monday. The Irish Yeomanry Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. HUME said, that hail it not been for the latenest of the hour and the state of the house, he would have proposed the introduction of a clause for making each Yeoman, upon his entering the corps, declare that he was ' not a inoniher of any secret society. The Marine Mutiny Bill was re-comrnitted.—The Re port to be received on Monday. The Report of the Lime Toll Exemption Bill was brought up and agreed to.--The third reading on Monday. A Bill for regulating the number of Apprentices on board Merchant Ship, was brought in and read a first and second time, and ordered to be committed on Wed nesday. A return of the number of persons acquitted at the several Assizes in Ireland, and also at the Quarter Srasions during the last three years, was ordered.— Adjourned.
