Sir JOHN OSBORN moved that a sum not reeved leg 34,7611. he pasted holds Majesty, for defraying the oxpensesof the Chatham Yard. Mr. R. SMITH said, he believed the second officer employed at this yard could be dispensed with. Sir B. MART( said, the officer in question was re beesiuse. if discharged, he would be entitled to , the Superannuation Pension. Mr. HUME said. that in the year 1813, the total charge foe this eitablisbraent was 33,241/.; and now it was 34,760.; although we were in the seventh year of peace. lie protested against each extravagance.

CROKER admitted. that unless the duties. were abontio be increased, the sutra for Commissioners was too lar_ge; but the fact was, that the labour of several other Departments was to be transferred to the Commis &sem Department. The resolution was then agreed to. Sir JuriN OSBORN unwed that the following semi be granted to his Majesty for defraying the ex r:aof the following yards :—For Shostnose yard, .1 for Portsmouth yard. 48JklUt fee Plymouth yard, 42,1911.19 e. 6.1.—A1l of which sans* were agreed lc' The next resolution was for 9,5441/. for the expense et the outports. _ _ Mr. HUME said hi oh creed that a naval officer had', been withdraws from Deal end sent to Harvrieb, , though there was, he believed, more duty to be perform. ed at the former than at the latter place. Mr. CROKER said, the officer bad been transferees!' to Harwich. because that plaza was the principal nee port for the North Sea. Mr. HUME said, be *lobed to know what was the duty performed by this officer? Sir GEORGE COCKBURN said, that at Harwich he performed the duties of a Naval Storekeeper. Sir J. YORKE thought there was wore in this trans action than met the eye. His Right Hoe. Friend the Chanullor of the Exchequer bad a political connection with Harwich. Mr. HI:ME said, lie understood this Officer was one of the Corporation of Harwich. He agreed with the Right Hon. Baronet, that there was a strong suspicion of Parliamentary infineore being connected with this situation. Deal it was to be remembered, from whence the Officer bad been takes, sent no Member to Parlia ment. He was determined to propose a reduction from this vote. There were two Officers at Leith, with a sa lary of 575/. each. There was a Chaplain at Pembroke, with 400/. a year ; there was a Transport Establish ment at Cowes, which cost MI. a year, ladependent of that at Portsmouth. One of these Establishments he thought was quite sufficient. ,He should propose the re daction of the establishment at Harwich ; the redaction of one of the Officers at Leith, the same with respect to the Establishment at COMPS and, notwithstanding what had been said respecting his anti.epler.opalian notions, be should propose a reduction of the Chap lain's salary, The total of rerketiosis was .C 1.5811, and he moved an amendment, reducing tha rote by this sum. Mr. B. BATHURST defended the appointment at Harwich : the officer Is quietism bad occupied for years his Fewest situation. Sir B. MARTIN said. that Ail Olimer was not kaorn to the Admiralty as a voter, he was knave *sly as a valuable officer. Alluding to the flosourable Mem ber's objection , to the salary pail thp_Littipiale of P teas at Pi Ina At Covres. a Ti Agent was indispensably a.sessary, to save the expiator of demurrage. Mr. CROK ER said them yes no Chaplain at Dept ford or Woolwich, bat then allowance was given to the parish churches. After a few obseratioes from Sir I. Ce►vix, Sir J. Yonne, Mr. Huns, and Admiral H , The. Amendment was negatived withiset a division. Mr. HUME said that a sum of 40,0001. was voted last rear for the erection of a work at Trincomalee, which, it now appeared, wu completely thrown away, as an other nun of 9,0001. was called for, to prevent the total loss of all. An Admiral was withdrawn from the East India station; this be could not reconcile with keeping two Vice•Admiralsat Portsmouth and Plymouth.. with sa laries of four thousand pounds a•year, each; whir/ they were not necessary, and, if necessary, could be easily sup plied by the Admiralty. In India an Admiral was ne cessary, as a person of high rank, to prevent disputes .that might frequently happen between Dutch, French, and other foreign shipe He thought it bad policy to withdraw the Admiral from the East India station, and he was satisfied the East India Company wont' pay the difference between a Commodore's pendant and an Admiral's allowance, rather than have none on that station. Sir J. YORKE thought our naval station in India was of very great importance; and he wished to know how the withdrawing of a flag-officer from that station was a matter of such consequence, as a saving, com pared to the disadvantage that must result from such a step. He particularly wished that the naval station should be sized at Ceylon, as the key to all our Indian possessions. Sir O. COCKBURN said that the station m Trinco malee was so unhealthy, and so many ofserrs lost there, that it became necessary to remove the squadron from it, and have bet two frigates there. Admiral SOTH EROS was surprised that a flag officer was left so tbe westward station. _ ..__... The resolution was then agreed to.• • , On the Retaliation being moved fur granting 40,70 W. for the Victnalling yard*, Mr. BRKNAL objected to the vote, and Sir B &IA RTIN defended it, The Resolution was agreed to. The next sums voted were, forty thousand sevi.n hun dred pounds for the Victualling 1 ards; and 63,6741. for the Medical Establishment. _ _ . On a motion to grant 6,694 i. for the Naval College, Mr. GUM R observed, that previous to Lord Melville's. Gate there was no Lieutenant Governor to this establish. went. Ile did not see any necessity atpresent fur this offi cer. whose salary was SON.; nor for die Professor, who re ceived 71101. a year. He thenglit that all the persons added by turd Melville might he removed as e+eless, and that all the duty might he performed by the Com naissioner. Sir JOSEPH YOItKR mid in this instance the Honse was called on to make a stand in favour of naval offizers. Those men who had served their couotry to. long, ausl I who had antlered so much, w ere now, according to the Hon. Gentleman's priociples to he shut out fintn the chance of having the small perquisite, which he wanted to aboliab. Hs should give every resietsuce to this motion. Sir ISAAC COFFIN defended the present mint, as essentially accessary So give a proper eoluea tiom to nasal racers. Mr. HOME did not see how a Governor was nee' s . sary foe giving visitation, whilst mastsrs June were Wont to such a daty. As to matdog g stand in favour of naval officers, tiers was a greater neoessity tor making a staid easiest expellee; and on that ground the present expense ought to be reduced. Sir M.

YORKE said he gave Ministers every credit for tbn Were( curtailment they hail effected in the pub. lic expense; bet be thought this sum very enormous. He understood that a quantity of coal tar bed been made OM offer some of the ships with a view to prevent the Airy rot. Ind he was informed that it bad lately been dis• etwitiaisell. Sir B. MARTIN said that the use of it had been ens. pendei, treatise a representation had been toads that U affected the health of the crews. He had every reason M believe that, on inquiry, tfils representation would prove fen:aeons. Aftera few words from Sir I. Corrim„ Mr. NUMB regretted that so many ships should have bees eqbjected to the experiment, until its efficacy had Ale,ascertained. Ile screed however that the ass 'Tar had been properly eutpended. It was et. edible, that the discharge of a pistol near the side of • the shill would be in danger of setting it or Bu; besides the timber by that process became quit brittle. The Resolution was ,treed to. ' OA squviag the sum of 961,0001. for half pay to Naval lab" r • Mr. 111U.11E said he had to state a very great abuse b., this subject. At the close of the late war, one thousand Midshipmen were promoted to the rank of Lieutenants, , sad since 1816, four hundred and sixty-eight more were appoieted,seven hundred other naval promotions were node. As to the Coronation promotions, be considered them quite nnnecessary. The expense for this year, by dirShpromotiuns, was I 43,0001. ; and the expenses wont, be 150,au1. a year to the country. In the year 1791 sad 1787, the promotions were very trifling; and what .occasion was there fur se many now ? Sir O. COCKBURN said the promotions were given Is AWN for meritorious services. The Midshipmen 111.01111kii were these who hod passed previous to the year 1814 ; and when it was considered how many - studies took place in the service, there were not . many oilmen. Mr. ELLICR differed entirely from his Hen. Friend, because young men, who had served from 15 or 16 years. in unhealthy climates, were entitled to rewards, and it they did nqt receive such rewards, they must have been treated with the injustice. It was particularly necessary to perl i rm li tri t ne acts of justice in the Navy, which he thought bad been reduced much below that staadarkwhicli policy called on us to key op.— (Hear. bear) If a war were to break ont again, what would P. the consknence, if we bad not a sufficient number "avid *liken ? Sir ISAAC COFFIN declared, that be himself hail . nephew. who had been ten years is the naval service, and he dared sot ask promotion fur him. Sir .1. wpm contended for the necessity of keeping up a ' maul o ffi cer".

Many of these had served in lies of battle ship during the last war, and they were not pro looted. Mr. Eti t lCE said a few words in explanation. Mr. HUMS again contended that the selection for Coronation promotions was nnf.tirly made. After a hw words from ,Sir O. COCKBURN and Mr. Bas NET, the lissointion was agreed to. Several other votes were then proposed, and agreed to without limy observation. The seta of 105,11001. was proposed to make good ' charities for Widows, Orphans, &c. and was agreed after a coniereation between Mr. Home. Sir John horn, Mr. Croker, Mr. Baokes, Mr. Bennet. and Sir, Yorke. • The Una Of 126.772/. was proposed for superannuation and allowadees to be granted to-Commissioners, Clerks, &c. formerly oniplayed in the Civil Departments of the Navy, and agreed to after a few observations from Mr. Home, Mr. Croker, Mr. Alderman Thompson, I.:* Frsncis Onisatity, Sir O. Clerk, Sir B. Martin, al Sir I. Coma. The song of 767,000/. was voted for building and pairing. ships of war in the dock-yards. The sum of one hundred and fifty-four thousand hundred pounds was proposed to detray the expenses improvements is dock yards, lice. Mr. HUNK moved as an amendment, that the Chair. man do report progress, and ask leave to sit again. Hut after a few words from the Marquess of W DONDERIIY, the resolution and amendment were wi drawn. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, had to propose a grant of two millions seven hueds thousand pounds, for the psyrrient of the holders of I per Cent. stock, who had signified their dissent from plan of Government. This sum included the amouni interest, which was to be paid to these holders. 'I *mount of the capital being only two millions six lit dyed thousavi pounds. Mr. HUMP' asked out of what fund this grant was proceed. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that it was an the practice to assign the fund fr' which a emit was to he taken, until the period for consideration of the ways and means. Mr. HUME—Then it is not to be taken out of money to be lent by the Rank. The Resolution was agreed to, and the House tamed. • 'fbr Chairman reported progress, and obtained 1, to 4it again.
