Os the motion of theCnaiicatusa of the &CHI QUM the House resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. The house being in a Committee, Mr. LUSHINOTON moved a vote of 8.0001. on 'M eow of the allowance doe to her late Majesty at her death. Mr. GUMEasid, the late Queen bad not been allowed any outfit. He thought, therefore, Ministers ought not to allow bertaiwg debts to remain unpaid. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the present allowance was for the purpose of partially pro viding for debts. Mr. Alderman WOOD said, the debts bad been In creased in consequence of the charges brought against her late Majesty. Mr. T. WILSON thought a vote should be agreed to for the payment of the debts. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he helirred all fair and just demands would be paid. Her Majesty was allowed at the rate of 50,0001. a year, and this, with economy, was amply sufficient to meet her es penees. Mr. HUME said that the present grant would net provide even for the allowances to bee late Majesty's servants. Mr. LUSHINOTON said, he believed this vote would cover the demands of the British creditors. There was foreign property to pay foreign creditors. The MO lion WAII then agreed to. Mr. tIOULBURN moved a vote of 30001. for carrying on the Harbour Works at Dunlestry.—The um: tints was agreed to. Sir. WILMOT moved a vote of 20,000!. for defraying the charges of the Forts on the Gold Coast of Africa.- Agreed to. OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL. Lord PA I.M EHS 10NInoved a vote of 4,0001. for the Ophthalmic Hospital. He did not think it necessary to enter into the medical controversy which bad taken place on the subject, but as Slr Williams Adams had fur I years attended the Hospital, be thought a sum of 4,0001. to him as a remuneration would not be consi dered too much. He moved the vote accordingly. Mr. BKNNET said, lie bad nothing to do with the medical differences on this subject. The question was, what were the chains of Sir William Adams? They rested entirely upon the services he had done to the Hospital. In the year 1513 lie offered his services to the puldie, stating that be had the means of curing the pensioners who were afflicted with the Ophthalmia. He was taken into the service of Hovernment in consequence of this offer, upon a substantive agreement that his ex. ertions were to have the effect of reducing the pension list. The disease was long known in this country, though it prevailed in an aggravated degree in Egypt. After noticing the institution of the Ophthalmic Hos pital, the Hormarahle Memb►r said, that the mode ob d by Sir William Adams was the same as that which had been observed by Dr. Vetch who was origi nally appointed to the Hospital. Sir IV . Adams had no right to apply the term "invention" to his practice. Above 2,41110 patients hail been cured by Dr. Vetch. Sir W. Adams undertook the nianagrnient of the Hospital upon the pledge that he 'hunk diminish the Pension List by making the Ophthalmic Pemsioners fit for gar. risen duty. This be had not done. Out of •100 per sons, only one was renJered fit for duty; though un- 1 doubtedly many were relieved. The Cowmander•io- Chief himself thought Sir William was not fit to he placed at the head of a milit:ry establishment. Indeed hie own mode of treatment had been abandoned. It was neither new nor sneconiful I ►ad had. is fact, re tarded the en aof the eetnplaint in many eases. But, PRICE SEVEN PEMCE• it was to be observed that the Noble L4d bade at the commencement, published a circular stadpg that the care of the patients should not interfere with deck pen lions. Here, therefore, was an end of the the i t i t a 'l l y n , g to to o, p t i b ib en e l ? e i e c x x pe pei b l y r ar i in ien e i r bu t at W d no u i boe i n t li d b l io r n bras A t om e ig s hti ' a uf s7r± po rog m r l i kk i i n er d e. i g - Irldwalaits in o hear threat that if they did not comply, their pensioaswould be Liken away. He believed ell the cares had bees par. - ; but the engagement had been for a complete care, which should produce a saving. No one doubted that many had been relieved; but that was not the question. They had been relieved, not by the practice of Sir IV. Adams, but that of other persons. He (Sir IV.) claimed the merit of discovery ; but he had made no discovery beyond the use of a * knife instead of a pair of millers. He had decked himself out io the feathers of other peo ple. Many reseps tinier his management had been sent mites cured, merely because they hod been slightly relfcied. Asa yet this slight relief had been obtained by the nes of the treatment of Dr. Vetch. Sir William denied In the Committee that be eves used candle; but he recommended the use of it ie bas ow, ioatanctiens. He could net imeremark tbattlee Noble Lord had insti tuted an Hospital for Sir W. Adams's practise, against the wishes of the Commander-ia•Cbief; sad It was not put down until his Royal Highness had declared Mesa tension to apply to the proper authorities on thastabject. His Royal Highness had always slim k 1 elf *e sol— dier's friend ; and in no instance had he done an, pore strikingly than in that which be (Mr. B.) had just men tioned. The Honourable Member proceeded to (loot* - different letters from the Commenderon-Chief to the Se cretary at War, indicative of his Royal Highness's ada verse sentiment towards the Opthalmic Rstablishmeot. He was convinced that the charg:•• of Sir W. Adams against the Medical Board were not deserved by the honourable and eminent individuals who compoletLit. Bet they did not require his defence of them, sin c e th e Duke of York had himself declared on, paper that he was satisfied the charge of conspiracy against them was. completely unfoundskand that he felt the highest satis faction at their conduct in every transaction they had been engaged in. (Mr. B.) was willing to allow every . consistent praise to Sir William Adams for his pro tempos) conduct, but when the Noble Lord talked of his loss of time it should not be put out of sight that he had been compensated for that by being appointed to the head of the Ophthalmic Board—an appointment, he believed worth the value of a Company in the Guards. He contended that Sir W. Adams had not performed the terms of the engagement he bad entered into. He had sot cared the patients be had undertaken to do—be bad not saved the amount of pension he had spoken of—nor had he made any discovery. He could not, therefore, *Mgr these circumstances, consent to the large grant by the Noble Lord ; and he should conclude reo":idng to amend the vote from 4,000/. to 2,0001. • Mr. WILLIAM PEEL observed, that if Sir William Adams had not succeeded in curing cases which were seemed incoroble, be had at least devoted a great por. don of his time in attempting it, and therdoredmerved a compensation. Mr. DAWSON regretted that the Hoa. Gentlentan opposite (Mr. Beene) had followed the course unfortu eately pursued in the Corneal/re. viz. making this le party question heft-let Sir W. Adams and the Army Medical Board. The House could have no conception of the ireful manner in which the contest was carried on in the Committee, in which the Hon. Member (3f?. Bennet), sod the lion. Member for Tayistock, seemed rather to act as Counsel or Nominees, than as Judges. The object of their inquiry was really lost sight of in the contest. The Hon. Member talked of their keep ing back the minutes of evidence. He really did nut , think that the house could be much assisted from that book, which contained as many contradictions as there were pages; nor did he think science would be much benefitted by the publication of that which was scarcely ' any more than the details of a most virulent dispute. The real merits of the present question before the home were very easily pointed out. Sir William Adams, in the first place, distinctly disclaimed the credit of having made any discovery in his mode of treating this di of the eyes. He admitted that he obtained the first idea of it from Mr. Saunders • but had himself made some improvement in the mod e of treating the third stage of Opthaltnia, by looking at the lids of the eye instead of the pupil, and removing what he called granulation's. This being the case, he offered his services to the Com mander-in-Chief, having adopted an improved mode of treatment, and suggested that an hospital should be established. To show however that this was not done merely at the caprice of his Noble Friend, he need only remind the house and his Honourable Friend, that it was done upon the high commen t dations of a number of medical gentlemen appointed to report their opinion on the nature and efficacy of his practice. The opinion these gentlemen gave Jas most Nattering to Sir Wm. Adams, anti he believed it was no thing more than he deserved, considering the surprkiog cures he performed upon those who bad been given up as incurable by other medical men. His success in clearing the Pancras Poor House was also most wonder ful and creditable to himself. It was upon these sub stantial testimonials of Sir Williim Adams' competency that I.• had been placed at the head of the Ophthalmic Hospital His exertions there bad been unremitting anti successful, and on that rotted alone, the house he was sure would readily admit that he was entitled to compen sation. The medical spirit of controversy of his Hon. Friend, prevented him from seeing the merits of the case in a clear point of view. He claimed nothing for disco very. but for loss of time and hmar. On that ground he was sure he was fully entitled to the vote proposed by his Noble Friend, and is voting for it, he would say, that he voted for any thing which be thought was more just. Air. C. HUTCHINSON said. that the object of the Committee which had been appointed bad been to in quire into the merits of Sir W. Adams, but that his Hon. Friend (Mr Bennet) had prevailed on the Com mittee to admit s third party, which prevented Sir Wil , ham Adams from obtaining the great success which he could not otherwise have missed. The Medical Board had been most hostile to Sir William Adams's claims. He (Mr. C. Hutchinson) wa•confitlent that a conspiracy had been formed against Sir William Adams. He had been greatly injured by having been . promoted to the head of the hospital. His peace of m ind had been de stroyed by it. The envy and hatred of the medical pro fession against one of their number, who became emi nently successful, was proverbial. The case of Or. Sy &Titoism wasa remarkable issuance.—:Valle imeidiu palls suctlidaren4 et mendicormna. Mr. HUMI concurred with the Hon. Gentleman who had preceded him, in deprecating the introdaction of party spirit in a discussion of a scientific nature. Set ting aside all other considerations, lie opposed the amount of the proposed compensation as being three times as much as was gives to a retiring anrgeon, cab eulating the length of time Sir W. Mains bestowed his attention. He. however, was almost ready to . vote the whole money in order to get rid of the subject. Sir l' ' i . , • '
