ORDNANCE ECTINIATES. Mr. HU)ME thou rose um! *AO, be could not pinion the Smoker to ital . 's: the Chair, without on record the situatiOit the country drawing a comparison of the Ordnance Hatt- of took • at to economy, but et, ...__ight he should be able to show that the assertion was OD. founded. That Hiinourable Gentleman lied also spoke in the most triumphant tone of an error which he had bee e elleig.-d with, of 50,000/. ; but it turned nut there was no error, except an error of the Honourable Gentleman himself, in com paring two ruins together which lie (Mr. flume) had nut compared. lie hail then called the atieu lion of the House to a comparison of the estimates; lie had nom tin average of do.ee year., and he found the overa t t. expenditure fur 1790, 1791, and 1792, wa s 473,0771. per :minim. Taking the average of the three last year., 1818, 1819, and Iseo. he found the animal expenditure was 1,486.606/. being nearly three time. the amount of the first period. The estimate* laid on the table were suppored to be the whole amount of the ex penditure, but it turned out not to be the whole by many thousend pounds. He was not aware of nny other mode of finding nut the sums actu illy expended but by a comparison of the Estimates with the Annual Appropriation Act, and in 1817 the amount stated by the Estimates and the sum appropriated nearly agreed. The Alember then compared the Estimates of ISIS and 1819 with the Appropriation Acts of these years, and 'hewed that the sours stated in the Act+ exceeded b, 350,090/. the Sarni voted by the Estnnetes. He was aware that, as die whole of th e sum s voted were not always expended iu one year, balances were hronght forward; basing any one year might therefore give fake result., but taking sit averege of three years would, lie con ceived, be perfectly fair. lit the last three year,. there was a difference of 623,067/. more expended than appeared by the estimate submitted to the 1 - Inure. This dertirepancy he iliougla he could in some measure account for. la the estimates there weir Ito chat g- for Ow ordnance ves.els, amounting to 15,010/. or 16.000/. a year, and no Gentleman, on looking to the tabulates, Could conceive th at sach 'Acre in exietriter. Thi., he thought, was a mode of keeping the at:vomits well cal culated to keep the House in die datk. That, perhaps, was one of the items compoiing the differ ence. A mallet. was the staff pay of the nrtillery, amounting to 27,0001. a year. That statement u'one *hewed the neettnity of the !louse insisting on basing Estimates of a very different nature laid before it. He was convinced that they bad nut us yet more than half a view of the establishments of the Ordnance. Ile must repeat, so far bunt any disposition to economy having been displayed in this delta; tinesit, there was not the smallest attention paid to recommendations on the score of 'eduction. The lion. Member, the Clerk of the Ordnance, stated, on a former occasion, that there had been no lese than 68 ufficers reduced since the preiserit General came into the oilier; but by a return on the table, for which he (:11r. (tams) had moved, of all the appointmeritv tit the Ordnance Deeartment. there appeared to be no les. than 67 introduced biter the estiblishment who had 'lever before been in the service. The mailegement also of the Pen slim List was such as ought to induce the House to a stud raw from the Depurtment t hatconfideure ns to thrdtstribution of the funds nt its disposal which every public Board ought to prerseas; for while they were making reductions they went on making out nearly en equal number of new appointments, so that in effect they incresscrl the weight of the public burdens by the oniount of the pensions and hal 1. psy given to those oho had been reduced, many or whom were yuuiie and hail been but a very abort aline on service, while many Of those newly intioduced were melt advanced in years. The claim, therefore. advanced by the Uuu. Nlember opposite, of a disposition to economy On the part of the Noble Duke at the hyoid of the Department, Sass purely ideal. The floe. Member had vtated, with an sir of triumph, that the eetimates for the present year were reduced greatly below those of former years, but they would be found larger than the average of the last three years ; for if they ridded the 'Amount of those three years together, amid divide by three, the amount fur the present year would be found to exceed die quarter by 40,324/. The aurouist of the estimates fur the army appeared to be excessive; but the largeness of the sum was cattier) by the slumbers of persons provided fur, whereas iir the Ordnance Estimates the NUM teas SWri:oll by the largeness of the :priories void- to a ft,* individuals. The Ilan. Gentlemeu concluded by moving the following resolutions:— That the toted by Parliament far the service of Ilse °Mosher of Great Britain and Irelasol, in the tears 1817, 1818, 1819. • nun the C.tiwai, s laid before This House, amount au 3,764,1131/ ; that the sums entered is the Appropristi 111 l Arts far these years amounted to :1,695,3314 nod that live Lama suited iii the annual firtaihre sreutai.ta fur those three ,sears, as actud:ly paid fur the ludo:wee itery're, amounted to 4,387,2411. being an excess of t 129,1071. muse !bail was t airman. et to this House. That the total supply voted by the Dome opan Estimates under the different heads for the service 81 the Ordstawee, for the years 1790, 1791, 179'2 (exclusive of the charge fur 35.0001. a-year fur Ireland), amounted to 1419,1201. being 413,042.1. uo ■o average of an se three year : That the total puma voted fur the Ordnance in 1818, 1819, 1820, amunuted to 3,860,8661. (tieing I,2B6.Ctitif.ou am ge of these three years): That the E‘timate for 1821, although 53,0001. Iras iu amount that the F0411311' for Is2o. is 115,000 f. moue than the Estilll3 IC for 1819; and 40,1341. noire in amount thou the average of the Eitimatea for 1818, 1819, ■nd 1820. That u. the actual expeutlitore of the 0. - ditanee service fur the years 1817,1818, 1819, fur which the finsuce accounts have bade laid Wile this Ilusse, esceeded the estimiff es on an average of 211,73:4. per auauar ;i heexpeases of the Ordnance for the year 1821 roil be taken at a total of 1,534,7351. That therefore it be a recommendation to the Committee to effi.et every practical redaction in the Ordnance Estimates stow laid before this Hume, fur the year 1821. Mr. R. %VAUD raid, if the lion. Gentleman would agree to take the debate now upon the gement qutstitiu, lie bad nu objection, hut he should prefer that the ll.ru. 81.1alrer would consent logo into the Committee, where he could better go at once into the general statement, which would their regu larly lead to the particnlar heads of the 'simulate; and that the Hun. Member might have the opportimily of recording his Resolutions upturn the Juvenal', lie would in that rase snore the previous question upon thesis. Colonel DAVIES mid, that sa the discussion on the gene.. ralquestions was likely to employ mach lime, it was better to take the debate before going into the Committee, !wafter it nould be so late an hour before the drbato could be bronchi to a clone. that be saw little probability of going Into the Estimates with may Wee, and hofil6iikbl it would perhaps Ise better to postpone the CUllllllillllO to MUMilly. The Marquis of lON DON DI bitty sajd,,it was quite am- . possible to go into a diqcussiou of MIMI, of so exiciisivc a tialere is It Vtrefiotiosey Male ; find 10 thought that teen the gallant Officer would find it more convenient to himself and his Hon. Friends to discuss the subject in Committee, than to go through a bengthenefl debate fur the purpose of concluding with a truism which Mr Mau colloid for a to doubt, that it was the duly of the Committer• to pay the ntmost possible attention to economy in the grants which might he proposed. Mr. RERNAL said he should prefer that previous to go. ing into the Committee some explanation should be given at to the rause of the ewers of the animal expenditure be yond the votes upon the estimates of former years. Mr. R. IVARD said, to that the answer wait extremel♦ easy indeed It proceeded iu some measure from the mode of keeping the Ordnance accouule. It also frequently hap pened, and formerly much more so than at present. that stone of the greets reinaised unexpeuded for perhaps one, two, or three years after they had been voted; so that when those sums came to be actually expended, they would have the effect of swelling the amount of the expenditure of the year in which it was ro laid out hey I that of the grant for the same year. Fur instance, some years sett a greed was made for fortifications is, the Islaud of Bermuda, hut the tom voted was out laid oust fur two or three years afterwards; and in coneequence the ■mount expended in some subsc q•oent year, triuhl be fonud to exceed the grant for that year in proportion. It also happened oeessit•ally, that sums were advanced from the civil department of the Ord nance to other departments, which were afterwards brought heck into account, but would appear as • part of the ex penditure of the year in which the advance was made. Ad vanced of this kind had beetifmaile for the Preventive Ser vice and the Commiraariiti; they were, however, et subse quent periods repaid by those departments, and ■gain placed to the debit of the °Moaner. The only mode in which this matter could be settled was to wait until the Expense Ledger was laitl on the table, when it would turn out that the expenditure did nut exceed the Estimates. Mr. H. G. HENN F.TT *aid, he could not learn from the explanation of the Hon. Gentleman, low he was to get ewer the fact which was startug him to the face, that the actual expenditure on the averaer of the three years 1817-18-19. exceeded the estimates by 207,7d51. a year. The Hon. Mini her had plated that the irregul truly was rtrtly to he account ed for by the had mode of keeping the necoooti; be believed it was so in reality, nod it was high time that such an evil was corrected. It was what his able of the House was per petually clamouring about. They charged the offices with rendering accounts in such • form as that they (the Opposi tion) could not understand them, and that they were not un derstood even by themselves. He could nut help concluding with this simple piece of advice, that the sootier the Ordnance Department amended the system of their accounts the better. (Bear, hear.) Mr. R. WARD said he should be very glad to avail him self of the advice of the !honourable Member to alter the plan of the accounts. Me. WARM.: wished the Hon. Gentleman to explain the nature allot advances to the p live service to which he had alluded. Mr. R. WARD said, that the Ordnance hail been required by the Treasury to repair and fit op the works on the roast which they had hauled to the preventive service fur the necOnonortation of the men employed on allure, the ex penses of which were afterwards repaid to the Orduauce by the preventive service. The House then divided on the question, that the Speaker do mow leave the Chair— A yes Noes 56 Majority 54 Oo oar readmission to the gallery we found Ilse House in Cumrrittee, land Mr. lt. WARD on his lees, defending 11w present exten sive stale of the arrangements of tire Orshience Depart ment, by pointing out the variety and extended out line of the services it had 10 perform, which were not confined to the mere mi tin y service of the Ar tillery, but eonsprirnd the ordnance equipmests of the Navy, which required estaldisbneents fur the dis tribution of stores in every part of Ilse world. Its great increase of late years erne out of the in. creased prosperity and strength of the country. So far back as the time of Cromwell, in 1652, the sum voted fur the (lrd nance Department, exclusive of Is elf pay, and fur England wily, exceeded 122,0001.; and although the present esti mate somewhat exceeded 1,000,000/. yet when it Was considered that it included Great !Villain, Ireland. and the Colonies, cool obeli the great increser of alt our other establishments was looker) ill, hr contended that the present estimate was teas in proportion than that of Cromwell's time. Ile defended the department from the charge which hail been mask against it of inattention to re commendations of economy and restriction, and rs fared to the several Reports of the Commissi .... crs of Military la quiry,aud the Committee of Finance, in which their atten tions to those had been treasonably meutioned. In the first year of the peace ill amount of the e s timate. was reduced wanly one-half, and the estimate of the present year was diree•fourilis less than during the war. The Hon. !Wernher for Aberdeen was fund of referring to the scale of 1792, and lie did not wooder at it, as the same reference had been made by the Finance Committee; but he (Mr. %V) differed both with the Hun. Member and the Committee ou that point. It was riot [tensible to approach the eitimstes of the present period to those of 1792. If the Honour able Ge n tlemen opposite WOO IA look back through the last core hundred years—ft/ear, hem., keur)--itte firm seemed to slams them, but there were only fuser wars in t h at time, and consequently only four periods to re fer to—if they looked at these they would fool the endue. tinny made on the conches ttttt of each of those wars much less in proportion than had now been mask after she conchs. sins! s.f a war so much more interims, and in which all the eviablieliment• had been necesearily so much increased.— To return to the scale of 1792 was nastier'd impossible by the necessarily increased number of the establish. meats; and also ley the difference in the value of money. A clerk or any other individual could nut stow purchase the same aniourt of any commodity with one guinea except, perhaps, a few articles of cotton clothing- that be reedit at that periusl. The Hun. Gentleman was also fund of referring to the rate of salaries at that period. but be for got the persoisitee then allowed but since abolished ; fur M oaner. the Storekeeper at Dover in 1792 received a salary of 120/. myenr, which had been raised to 3062.; but at that time he was allowed his perquisites of pounelege, old ear tines, and sil lier thi ng. olsicb Wlllll.l give bins nut less than 4001. or 5901. snore. Indeed the lisle Store keeper, a link before his death, sent him a letter lin is hich he elated that if the old sydens, sliest 111/1 salary was 120/, had erotic nee, he should at the present time have been mirk kit; reboot 900!. At Chattiest, the Store keeper at present had 750/ and a house ; lost if the old system had continued he words! have about 12,0001., all of winch would have come out of the pockets of the piddle its some way or other, although not in the estimate. The Honourable Gentleman then pro ceeded to observe upon the 67 stew sppointinetits, and the superannuation. alluded to by the Hun. Member fur Aberdeen. The latter had chiefly been of persons whose offices were •bolielwel, some of (bens in the Colonies, and who could not with airy propriety have been kft altogether unprovided fur. The new appointments could not have been filled ap front those person., sumP being much too high, and others as much too low. Of the latter descriptioir were arslstent clerk., which could not be filled up from the half-pay, ou Isalf•pay being allowed to persons of that class. (if the former description the periwig. mppolnlid were all select ed from among such as had superior claims oes the ser vice; several of whom were essioneritsd by the Hon. Gen tleman, who afiewarde entered into a comparative statement of tier separate Cstimates of 1792 nod the present year, point lug out what he considered the proper scale of comparivone between the two periods, its order to spew that the present &insister were in proportion cveu lower than those of 1792. In the year 1792, there were en horse soldiery, acid there was uo barrack department. 'fbey might questiou the pro• prirty of having so many artillery, but as they had them they lutist provide some place for them to reside in. They had 114111/ to previde artillery fur fifteen coloaries, *birth deal not exist in 1792; Wrest when them wets &sleeted, the ex cess of the prestos estimates was only sixty-five thou sand pouulls above that of 1702, after all that had beets said of the waded the expeuditure cf the department ; and this excess was to be actuunttd for by the rise of Prices, and =4 - •-• , /t1 melee of a former period with The present thirst gent Peale. The Lion. Gentleman, the the Ordtianee, had upon a termer occasion to upon hirneelf •to-declare, that the Noble Duke the head of the department lied token 03411 Mires enforce the strictest economy, but 1w thought Wag at the roacimine ef a 43 years war. It world be wise reeollecsed, that there were several millions of Mom in slam *hick mist be taken care of, sad acrn■ate.l fur, which called for a great member of cleats; die half pay at present was sixteen times greater than is 17111, sad required great cue to be taken Of the accounts. As to the 'abject of entail/ea, the portiere it originated for was nearly at its. end; at was its put the afiteers of the Ordnance on an equality with the officers of other demist. meats; and the average of the salaries of the clerks nestle/. ' per annum, taking in the average those at !M. and 1,11001. per minions : and in she other public offers the salaries of the clerks amounted to 30!. or 40!. a year more; Goad if the gratuities,* Inch ■mounted to Gob 30,000 L acre taken away, the salary of the clerks would be silli lower. In the estimates proposed there was nu concealment, fur they tontaiueol the same items as in the estimates of 1810 sad 1115. There was not a sio:le thing in the Dep ortment the Hon. Member opposite had not searched for. He hood even asked for an ac. coma of foatin • g batteries, where three was none. However, hi *eddy the Hun. Gentleinan, he would put each item to the vote of the Committee separately. The Hun. Member then moved, " That the suns of 43,000/. should be granted to his Majesty for defra)ing the capeuse of dhe Ordnance Department in the Tower." Mr. P. MOOKE said, he was determined whenever he was in the House, and it was to a Committee if Supply after twelve o'clock, he would inure, that the Chairman should ►epo►t progress and ask leave • to sit togaiu.
