proceeded, therefore, he. wished to appeal to the Speaker, t o s ay whether it was a case of privilege or not. The SPEAKER believed that it was a case of privilege, and as such entitled to prece dence *; but he would call the attention of the House to another feature of the case. Although, when cases of ,privilege were brought before the House, they were entitled to immediate consideration, yet an ad jogined,,debate on a question of privilege had not that precedence. If.it was net a case brought immediately bdere the House, they ought not to entertain •it before . other questions. Mr. MITCHELL expressed a hope that the earliest posiible opportunity would be afforded him of going into the allegations of the petition, and of denying those which affected himself. The Hon. Member for Liskeard had remarked, that he was anxious that the statements contained iu the petition should not go forth to the public without an opportunity being given to those concerned of denying the facts. Now he (Mr. Mitchell) believed that it was an order of the House, that any petition charging a Member with anything wrong should be printed solely for the use of Members of the House. He wished to inquire how it bad happened that on Saturday morning, before Members had got possession of their copies, the petition had been printed at length in the Morning Chronicle newspaper. Mr. C. BULLER'S answer was inaudible in the Gallery. Mr. COCHRANE urged upon the Government the propriety of giving way upon the present occasion, in order to afford his Hon. Colleague and himself au op portunity of clearing themselves from the imputations cast on their honour. _ _ Sir ROBERT PEEL felt that the Orders of the House ought to be strictly observed. If this precedent were once established, it would be impossible to foresee the inconveniences which might arise. His Parliamen tary experience had taught him so strongly the necessity of adhering rigidly to the rules and regulations of that House, that, however painful it might be, he felt himself imperatively called upon to move that the Order of the Day be read.—(Cheers.) Mr. MITCHELL inquired when his Hon. Colleague and himself would have an opportunity of clearing them selves from the charges brought against them ? They felt that their honour had been impeached, and be thought they ought to have an early opportunity of de fending themselves. Mr. BULLER thought so too.—(A laugh.) lie had done all he could to give them an opportunity of expla nation, but he had been met by the Orders of the House. All he could do was to wait until the other proceedings of the House were over, and bring _it in at the close of the evening ; or he would give notice for Thursday next of his intention to,bring on the question, unless the House would grant him some earlier day. mr. MITCHELL objected .to going into the question at a late hour in the evening., when Members were fa tigued, and their attention exhausted. He trusted, whenever it was brought on, it would be brought on at a proper bour(Cheers)-- 7 and be thoroughly discussed. He hoped the subject would 'be completely gone into, and he wai prepared to give the fullest explanations. lie hoped the charge would undergo the fullest examination. . Mr. C. BULLER would at once give notice for Thurs day next, unless the House would permit him to bring forward the sulkject on Tuesday. Sir .R..PEEL said that, on account of the importance of the subject; the House had determined to devote Tues day to tip discussion of the tariff, and he could not. think of yostponing the discussion of that inost important question. Mr. B. COCHRANE believed Thursday was pre occupied. lie thought that where the honour of two lion. Members was concerned, the Government ought to have given way, and to have afforded them an oppor tunity of clearing themselves. NORTH WALES CIRCUIT. _ _ Mr. W. 0. STANLEY had seen a paragraph in a newspaper, stating that Lord Abinger had recommended that North Shropshire should be attached to the North Wales Circuit, and that the Government had acceded to the proposition. - Ile (Mr. W. 0. Stanley) wished to ask the Right Hun. Secretary of State for the Home De partment if there was any foundation for the statement ? Sir JAMES GRAHAM had never heard of any such statement; he had never seen any account of it in the newspapers, and the first intimation he had had of the subject was from the lion. Gentleman. BOUNDARY QUESTION. Lord , PALMERSTON said he wished to put a ques tion to the Right Hon. Baronet. A mission had been sent to explore the line of boundary which was claimed by. 'the British Government on . the frontier of North America, in order to ascertain whether the line of boundary was consistent with the treaty of 1783. In the year 1840, he (Lord Palmerston) had laid a Report of the CommiSsion on the subject on the table of the House, as it was then wished to ascertain. whetltor the line claimed by the American Government on their side was conformable with the words of the treaty of 17e3. Of course it was important to ascertain this fact, inasmuch as if the line were settled, it would place the British in a very much better situation. Early last year he (Lord Palmerston) had sent out a Commission for the purpose of exploring the American line, and that Commission had but just re turned. lle wished, therefore, to ask the Right Hon, Baronet, whether their Report would soon be laid before Parliament Sir R. PEEL said he understood that a Report had been'received by the Noble Lord in 1840, which had not ben laid on' the table or the house. The Noble Lord had-laid a Report on the table in December, 1840, but subsequently to that another Report had been IT eeircd, which had not been laid on the table. TI e Noble Lord had correctly stated that the Commission had returned, and they- had wade a Report in pursuance of instructions given theta, and which Report he (Sir li. Peel), had seen within the last few days. There was to 'be an sppeadix to that Report. and . it was also necessary to have plans to be referred to in the Report drawn up, and as soon as these ji _ anl and dppendix were completed the Report Would be lard en the table. COLONIAL CUSTOMS BILL. Mr. LABOUCHERE said, that seeing the Vice-Pre sident of the Board of Trade in his place, he wished to ask him if he intended to bring the Colonial Customs Bill on to-night ? Mr. ULADSTONE said, it was not his intention to do so. Captain PECHELL said, I wish to ask a question to the Right Hen. Baronet relating to the invention of Mr. Warner. (Here the Hon. and Gallant Member was met with a burst of laughter, and he was informed that the question had'been put.) On the motion .ior going into Committee of Supply, Mr. MITCHELL said that before going into Commit tee he wished to state, as . the question relating to the borough which he represented was to come on on Thurs day, he bad no objection to its coming on on that day, but he was told that several other notices of motion were on the paper for Thursday, therefore there was a doubt as to whether it would come on on that day at all. It might not coum on next week—it might not come on the week after, and he therefore thought it was a very hard case to Idlow him and his Hon. Colleague to remain under the imputations which Were thrown upon them.—(Cries of "lsv .011 now."s He did not wish to go on then; but unless he had some assurance that the question would certainly come on on Thursday he did think the Right lion. Baronet would not consider him unreasonable, it he (Mr. Mitchell) brought it on then. Unless he had an assurance that it would come on on Thursday he did not see how it was possible that is could be brought.on next week. It had been suggested to him to ask the, House to sit to morrow, but if he had no such assurance he ?.hould bring it on on Tuesday, and be did not think the Right Hon. Baronet would consider him unreasonable in doing so. Sir IL PEEL said the lien. Gentleman was aware that he bad no control over Notices of Motion on Thursday. On the part of her Majesty's Government he should say that all their assistance would be given to the Hon. Member to bring the question forward. He could not say more. OUTRAGES IN TIPPERARY. An TION:3IEMBER. wished to ask the Noble Lord, the- Secretary of Ireland, whether he had received accounts of certain outrages recently committed in the county of Tipperary ; and if so, whether any, and what measures would be taken by the Government respecting them ? lord ELIOT said it was unhappily true that very serious outrages had been recently committed in the north of the county of Tiperarv. As the Hon. Gentleman bad given him notice of his intention to ask the question, he had prepared a short statement—a com parative statement of the number of outrages committed in Tipperary in the first four months of 1841- and the first four months of the present year. It ap peared that in 1841, during three months, there had been 305, and in 1842 the number was 327, showing but i t small increase of the more serious offences. It appeared there had heea a difference from nine to four. Ile did not intend to deny that the district referred to was in a very disturbed and unsatisfactory state—in a state which unquestionably required the prompt atten tion of her Majesty's Government, That attention had been paid to the subject. The police-force hitherto stationed in the county amounted to no fewer than 800 men ; and to that number 100 more had been w ay of reinforcement. There were seven lately added by Stipendiary Magistrates, and four more were stationed in the vicinity of the disturbed districts. The whole of the forces stationed there were under the com mand of .a distinguished and a bl e officer, perfectly competent to the task for whi c h he had been selected. He (Lord Eliot) trusted that these measures would be sufficient to restore tranquillity to the district in question, without its being necessary fur the Government to apply to the House for any new powers. There was only one other point to which he would allude. He believed the atrocious crimes now committed in Ireland might be traced to the facility of procuring fire-arms ; and it had been re- Intisented to him that the law in that respect ass n10101(2;11. and that sonic amendment in it might be necessary. Ile should net then pronounce any opinion upiu that point ; he should inerrly say that it e.as the only subject on which lie thought. it probable that, the hone would be eallvd upon to legislate. Per haps he might be permitted to bear his te,timonv to • the praiseworthy conduct of the Catholic Clergy in the disalrected districts. They had denounced in the strongest. manner the illegal societies in which those crimes usually originated ; they ex horted • the people to abstain from all acts of violence, to respect the law, and to obey it.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") He trusted that their exertions would be attended with the success which th e y de s erved, and that that district of Tipperary would no longer afford the painful contrast which it now presented to the state of the other counties of Ireland. BRIDPORT ELECTION. Mr. B. COCHRAINE expressed a hope that on Thursday the ;notion rtlative to the Ilridport Election might he brought on at an early hour, and that the sub iket would not be again deferred till another day. Mr. MITCHELL, on attempting to address. the House, WO interrupted by lud aims- of " Order." . . The SPEAKER then put the question that he should / leave the Chair previous to the House going into Com mittee of Supply ; and said that the Hon. Member would then be in order in addressing the House. Mr. MITCHELL said that if upon inquiry he should find that Hon. Members who had notices of motions for Thursday next would not give way, he should feel it his duty to bring forward the subject of the Bridport Elec tion on Tuesday next, and to make his own statement on the subject. SUPPLY. The House then went into Committee of Supply. ORDNANCE ESTIMATES. _ Captain BOLDER() rose to bring the Ordnance Estimates before the Committee, but owing to the noise in the House, was for some time very indistincq heard iu the gallery. •We under stood him to say, that a reduction of 59,0001. had taken place in the expenditure since last year. A new source of expenditure had, however, arisen since then, as it was necessary that whatever steps might be taken by our opponents, we should be enabled to adopt corresponding measures to ensure success. It was his duty to call the attention of the Committee to the unfortunate, melan choly, and disastrous intelligence that had reached us from India. In consequence of that intelligence, great additional expenditure had been thrown upon the Ordnance department which had been unlooked for, unexpected, and therefore unprovided for. It was, therefore, his unpleasant duty to ask for additional advances to cover the expenditure necessary to meet the exigencies of the case. In consequence of an event that occurred during the past year, an event over which they had no control, he alluded to the conflagration in the Tower, a heavy amount was classed under the head of small arms. By a vote of that House, it had been agreed that the weapon placed in the hands of the soldier, should be changed from' , flint to percussion ; the vote then taken amounted to 130,0001., a larger sum than had been voted under that head by Par liament, from 1816 to 1840. Large as that sum was, they were obliged now to ask an additional sum of 50,0001., or a sum in the whole of 180,000/. Had it not been for the fire in the Tower, they should not have had to ask for more than half of the 50,0001. As he had touched upon the tire in the Tower, he thought this would be a favour able opportunity for disabusing the public mind of the. erroneous impressions that had prevailed as to the amount of the loss. He had seen it stated at various sums, from half a million to 250,0001. Perhaps it would be some satisfaction to the Committee if he stated that the whole amount of the loss to be provided for by the public, scarcely exceeded the half of the last sum he had mentioned, or 128.0001. At the time of the fire, there were in the tower 94,520 stand of arms ; about 4,000 were saved, and 12,000 were, before the fire, in a useless state ; the number consumed wat -78,500. The building was in such a State previous to 6, fire, that it would not have been prudent to repair it the weight of the small arms in the upper story had made the walls swerve-from the perpendicular, so that a new building would have been preferable to repairing the old one ; the value of the building, therefore, was not put down at all. On the whole, that fire had thrown an extra 50,0001. upon them. In the Commissariat De partment he asked 64,0001., which was double th amount of last year, in consequence of the usu: vote not being enough to cover the expenditur An item of 7,000 L was put down in consequence of th, birth of an heir to the Throne, which caused a Brevet ii the Army and Navy. This was estimated for seven teen months, and he calculated that next year it would be but 5,000/. The remaining votes wen' divided into ten heads, and under three only was there an increase, amounting only to 3,00 CL on the three. In the civil service there was an increase amounting t ,, 2,1691, but that increase arose from 1,3251., which was fin salaries on foreign stations, which had not hitherto beet: borne in the estimate. The whole increase on the esti- mate was 8001., which was caused by the increased salaries for the civil service, in consequence of length of time. The next vote was No. 4 ; on that vote. there was an increase, but the actual increase was only 861., that was causea by the barrack-masters and servants at the Colo nial Barracks in Jamaica ; this vote was no , .n included for the first in the Ordnance estimates. In the next vote, which was No. 9, there was an increase, but in all the items he had mentioned, there was not a greater increase than 7,0001., and the diminution in all the other estimates covered the increase by 50,0001. In the vote for the Royal Engineers and Sappers and Miners there was a diminution of 411/. In the next vote for the Royal Artillery there was a decrease of 3,706/. Although the effective force was the same as last year, that diminution had arisen in consequence of the dif ferent arrangements he had made in pay . and clothing. The expense of the Artillery academy at Woolwich had for merly been voted under four or five different heads, but it had appeared to him much better that they should all be included in one. The whole expense of the establishment was 15,082/. There were contributions amounting to 14,585/, leaving to he voted by Parliament the sum of 1,497/, less by 3,756/. than the amount voted last year. On vote 5 there was a diminu tion of 7,616/. The diminution would have been 17,1601., had they not taken 9,0001. for the repair of the barracks in Jamaica and in the Mauritius. In the 6th vote there was a diminution of 16,714/., arising from the survey of Ireland being nearly completed, and a less sum being required for that object. In the 7th vote, which• was a very important one, they had taken less for stores in the Tower 8,000/., less for shot and shells, 24,000/. ; less for perishable articles. such as bedding and furniture, .8,0001; less.for great coats and other articles, 10,000/., , making a diminution, so far, of 50,1841. Then there was an . increase iu small sums of 50,0000, which would leave a balance of 1841. in favour of the "public.. The vote No. 8 was what was called an unprovided item. It was for 2,788/. for the service of the Artillery. In this there was an increase of 751/. over the estimate of last 'year. Iri 'No.'lo . there was also an increase, and the whole amount of the item was 29.4811. for the service of the Commissariat. He had now gone through all the votes in that department, and then he came to (as we understood) the estimates for buildings and other works, connected with the Ordnance, at home anti in the colonies. The House was already acquainted with all the circumstances of every item but one, and that was the vote of 8,0001. for the two barracks in Jamaica, which were thought necessary for the lodging of the men with their wives, and for the protection of their health. There was also an item of 3,953/. for the Artillery barracks at Kingston, Upper Canada, which the Government thought it right to sanc tion on account of the unhealthy situation of the former bar racks. The next item regarded certain proposed improvements for the gunnery practice at Woolwich, the space between the batteries and the river at present being wholly inadequate, as it gave no more than a range of 1,225 yards for the trial of guns which were capable of throwing shells a distance of three miles. The sole object he had in view was to promote and advance the science of gunnery, and to render more effective this distin guished corps, which was the admiration of foreigners • at the ' same time that they were envied by all who had the g ood for tune to witness their evolutions. He should, therefore, move that a sum of 121,000/. be voted for the service of her Majesty for the civil establishments in the Tower and Pall. mall. Mr. W. WILLIAMS thought it would be more satiscactory to the Committee if the Hon. and Gallant Officer would state what he thought would be the additional amount he should re quire for the service of his department, as extraordinary esti mates, so that some i 'ea might be formed as to the probable total exprnditure for the year for the Ordnance Department. He thought a great reduction might be made in the . bhriack department. There were 87 barrack-masters and 17 deputy storekeepers. Now he collie' not discover the utility ,of these 17 deputy storekeepers ; their salaries amount to 6.290/. ; and he thought the whole of that sum might be saved. At Devon port there was one storekeeper and two deputies, while there were only 5 clerks for these three officers to superintend. At Sydney, New South Wales. there was a storekeeper, a deputy storekeeper, and also at Hobart Town. He was sure, from the amount of stores at those places, that these deputy storekeepers were unnecessary. He could not see why the barrack-masters should not perform the duty of deputy storekeeper. A great g savin would be effected, and no i nsecurity or inconvenience result to the public service from adopting such a course. The cost of the barracks in the colonies appeared to him extraordi nary, and to require investigation. By returns laid on the table of the House, he found that from the year 1826, to the present time, a sum of 1,528,0001. had been expended on the barracks in the colonies. That was for a period of between 15 and 16 'ears at the rate of 100,000/. a year, and that, too, independent of barrack masters' expenses. *Although great importance was attached to our trade with the colonies, he was sure so large was the expenditure they entailed on us, that were we to make the eolontes,a present of all the mer chandise that we send them, he doubted if we would be losers by it, if they were to defray their own expenses. The Go vernment of Canada was infinitely cheaper than the United States Government, because we entirely paid their expenses of Government. .Now he thought that instead of thus being sad dlcd on the industry of this country, that they ought to main tain themselves, especially considering the monopoly that was given to their produce. There was one item to which the Hon. and Gallant Member had referred, upon which he (Mr. Williams) wished some explanation, and this was respecting the barracks at Manchester. No less than 62,000/. was wanted for this item. He wished to know what the probable estimated expenses of these barracks would be. Capt. BOLDER() said, the Hon. Gentleman had alluded to several items, but he (Capt. Boldero) would' confine him self to the observations connected with the deputy' store keepers. He would explain why the deputy storekeepers had been appointed, and under what circumstances. They had at present seventeen deputy store-keepers in the home and colonial service—three in the home service, and fourteen in the colonies. In the year 1821, in the various situations now held by'deputy storekeepers, there were two individuals doing duty, and the appellation applied ,to them was clerk of the survey and clerk of the check. 'lt was thought in that year, that it was desirable to abolish the office of clerk of the survey, and clerk of the check, and to appoint in the place of these two, one individual to do the duty of both. The duty per formed by the clerk of the check, was to attend to the muster o, the men and to see that they attended drill. The duty of the clerk of the survey, was to examine all the stores brought into the di partment, and to superintend the .issuing of the same ; these two gentlemen in this station, caused an expenditure to the public.of 7,560/. a-year. By the change a saving of 2,5601. a-year, was effected, and, in fact, the saving was increased to the amount of 1,0001. a-year more, in conse quence of there being attached to the office the additional sta tions of Hobart Town, Sydney, and Sierra Leone. As to the expense of the war in which they were engaged, he believed the man was not born who could calculate what that expence would be. Lord A. LENNOX. wished to call the attention of his Hon. and Gallant Friend, and of the Master-General of the Ordnance, to a grievance which, though it might appear trifling in itself, w as yet felt as a considerable d must be aware that officers in th e arm y were al, gr i eva nce by those who suffered from it. His Hon. and Gal lioatnyteci'l'r a iencertain quantity of fuel—coals and eandlee weekly, but married men , who were obli g ed to live out of barracks were not entitled to draw those rations. Now he ( Lord A. Lennox) cou.d not conceive on what principle that course was pursued. He was sere his Hon. and Gallant Friend would not say it was to prevent young officers marrying, or that, it it was given to officers who were married, it would be expected by the men ? He wished to kno w what course had been taken with respect to libraries. fives Courts , an d cricket grounds for the amusement of soldiers, because he knew that many of th e men under him, for want of some relaxation, did nothing but lie on the grass. Captain BOLDERO said that the Board of Ordnance were not respon.ible for issuing the orders by which fuel was given to office , s ; all they had to do was to obey the orders that were given. The object of the order was to prevent officers living out of barracks ; and if they deviated from the rule in respect to officers, there would .be no reason why the married &Adler should not have the same privilege. If the y were to allow one f-pecies of _harm:list/ore:, where were tt to rnr: SUN. LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 21, 1849. stop? The question had been over and over again brought under the eonsitterat ion of theltighest military men in - the I uri, and they declined deviating from the orders. With regard to the amuse ment of soldiers., alluded to by his Noble and Gallant Friend, the fault did not lie with the Ordnance Department. Sir C. NAPIER said, he could not allow that opportunity to pass without again raising his voice against the construction of tho Board of Ordnance. It was generally admitted, and it was perfectly impossible to deny that the Ordnance Department could be properly conducted, unless there was a naval officer on the Board. It was impossible that the Admiralty could cor respond, and carry on their business with the Board of Ord• nonce, whilst they knew nothing at all about the naval service of the country. He would not trouble the House with any further remarks at present, but he hoped the Right Hon. Baronet, (Sir R. Peel) would take the matter into his serious consideration. Major VIVIAN said he perfectly agreed in what had fallen ' from his Hon. and Gallant Friend, and he hoped the defect would be supplied. The sum of 121,8271. was then voted to defray the expense of the establishments of the Office of Ordnance. The sum of 109,2071. was voted for defraying the expense of the sappers and miners. The sum of 349,1551. was voted for defraying the expense of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, the Royal Horse Artillery, the Royal Riding House Establishment, and the Medical Es tablishment, for the year 1842 and 1843. The sum of 34,30 i/. was then voted for defraying the ex penses of salaries of barrackmasters. On the motion that 533,1771. be granted for defraying the works and repairs of ordnance, Major VIVIAN said that he had expected this vote would be postponed on account of the absence of a Noble Lord con nected with the Government, from whom he understood he was to receive explanations as to a question which he put on a for , mer occasion. _ . at the time& the apointrnent , and the names of the noblemen and gentlemen who recommenced them. —( Laughter.) As hi was on his legs, he hoped the Committee would excuse him in attempting to do justice to the metitg of a very g eat man. When he ( Sir C. Napier) brought forward his motion tor a naval man to be placed at the head of the Admiralty, the t ight. Hen. Baronet read a speech of - Mr. Pitt's, condemnatory of Lord St. Vincent as First Lord of the Admiralty. • Now, whe ther this was true or not, It was no argument against his (Sir C. Napier's) motion. He might as well put the case of Lord Chatham, who was put in and turned out by his brother, Mr. Pitt. But he (Sir C. Napier) thought that when the Right • Hon. Baronet read the speech of Mr. Pitt, in justice to that great man (Lord St. Vincent) he ought to have gone farther. Mr. Tierney, in speaking on the same subject, expressed his surprise that the Right Hon. Gentleman ('lr. Pitt) should have so changed in his sentiments respecting Lord St. Vincent. The Right Hon. Baronet found fault with him (Sir C. Napier) for recommending a naval officer, and said that it would in terfere with the prerogative of the Crown ; but he (Sir Charles Napier) only followed the example of the Right Honourable Paronet, when he brought forward a motion to displace the whole of a Ministry.---( Cheers and laughter.) He ( Sir C. Napier) must again express his opi nion that a naval man ought to be at the head of the Ad miralty, and he did hope the Right Hon. Baronet would, when he had an opportunity, do justice to the naval service by ap pointing a naval officer to that office. He (Sir C. Napier) spoke for the good of the service and the country. Pad such been the case before, the late disasters that have befallen India would not have taken place ; and he hoped the Right Hen. Baronet in future appointments would not listen to the recom mendations or to the claims of friends, but appoint a man fit to occupy the situation. The vote was then agreed to. 25,3751. was voted for defraying the expences of medical services. 44,3251. for divers miscellaneous services for the year. 49,757/. was voted for military pensions. 187,000/. wads also voted for civil pensions. 226,100/. for freight and ships for the transportation of stores. 95.7941. was voted for defraying the expenses of conveying convicts 470,54 t 9 0 L New was voted South fo Wales. r der ra y ing the charges of the packet service in conveying the mails. The CHAIKMAN then reported progress, and the Report. was ordered to be received on Monday next, and the House resumed. Sir ROBERT PEEL suggested that the objections of the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman could be taken on bringing up the Report. Major VIVIAN was understood to assent, and the vote was agreed to. On the vote of 208,7431. being proposed for defraying the expenses of the Ordnance Naval and Military service by a Treasury minute, Captain PECHELL said that he did not intend to throw any delay in the way of the present vote, but he thought that in consequence of what had been said against the late Govern ment, and particularly against Lord Melbourne, who had been accused of high treason for not taking steps with respect to the invention of Mr. Warren, which it was said would be able to blow up Acre and the rock of Gibraltar, end in consequence of which it was said that he had been invited to St. Petersburgh and the United States, it was right they should know the intentions of the present Government respecting it. It was said that some experiments had been made, and that the Right Hon. Gen tleman opposite was himself present at these experiments, with some others on his side of the House, and that a boat had been blown into the air in their presence. What he wished to know was, how the subject stood with respect to Mr. Warren, and whether the present Government had taken up the subject, which it was supposed the late Government ought to have done, and whether any communication would be laid on the table relating to it. He thought the allusion of the Honourable and Gallant Officer to the Spanish question very ill timed. That question had been dis cussed over anti over again, and the conduct of the Noble Lord would be recot ded by the future historian with high praise. It was the Noble Lord who hail first. been enabled t, apply steam to wat like purposes, by interfering in behalf of the Queen of Spain, and that intervention had enabled him to secure from ipain a treaty for the suppression of the slave-trade. He thought that next year the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman would see the propriety of abstaining from such taunts, if he wished to get his estimates passed quickly. In the discussion of the Navy Estimates, Hon. Gentlemen on his ( Captain Pecheil's) side of the House had abstained from taunting the other side with their chirps against the late Government of neglect of duty in not providing a sufficiet.t def,nce for the coasts, and with their prophecies of a Russian fleet enteringthe Medway and burning Sheeri.ess. Hon. Gentlemen, since they had come into office, had, no doubt, seen the folly of those taunts. Sir R. PEEL, in reply to the questions of the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman, relative to Captain Warner's invention, could only repeat what he had stated in. the early part of the evening. He had witnessed an experiment on a small scale, I which, as far as it went, was perfectly successful. He had never charged the late Government with having neglected Captain Warner's claims, on the contrary, he thought they had adopted a proper course.—( Hear, hear.) He himself had adopted a course of conduct precisely similar. He had stated that there were two responsible public bodies, the Admiralty and the Ord nance, to which :all those questions were referred, and he had not seen any reason to take the decision out of their hands ; but he had at the same time said that he would speak to the Master- General of the Ordnance, and request him to select two distin guished officers—one in the military and the other in the naval service—who could test the efficiency of the experiment upon a great scale, and he had also conveyed to Mr. Warner an inti • illation that the experiment should be performed at the public expense. Mr. Warner had, however, attached certain condi tions to which the Government did not feel disposed to accede, and the experiments had consequently not taken place. He had no objection that the experiment should be made at the public expense, but he could not accede to any conditions as to com pensation. Capt. BOLDERO said he wished to make one observation with respect to what had fallen from the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston). He could assure the Noble Lord that in making the statement he did relative to the quantity of arms sent abroad he meant no offence whatever to the Noble Lord. Lord PALMERSTON said it was a most economical pro ceeding to send the arms abroad.—(Laughter.) After a few words from Sir DENHAM NORREYS, Captain BOLDER() said it was not the intention of the Nlaster- General of the Oidnance to discontinue the survey of Ireland. . Lord INGESTRIE wished to say a few words in explana tion, as his name had been mentioned in connection with Capt. Warner's inventions. However he might be ridiculed for cre dnlity, he was still of opinion that they were inventions of very great importance. With that conviction he had applied to Lord Melbourne's Government, but without getting any satisfac tory answer. He had since applied to the Right Honourable Baronet at the head of the present Government, who referred the matter to the heads of the departments. He understood' that a_ very proper course was adopted, and that a commission composed of two officers of standing and character had been appointed. All that Mr. Warner wished to have, befoie et- periments were made, was that ill case he succeeded ,in producing the almost improbable results which he had pro mised..he should have a.guarantee from the Government, or that House that his invention should not be thrown aside. He (Lord Ingestrie) had not expected that circumstance would .be alluiled to, or he would, have inade himself ; better informed 'on the subject ; but he was satisfied that the disco. very would prove ox immediate and vital importance to the country. Major VIVIAN said, that in reproving the course taken by the late Government, the Gallant Officer had also reproved that which had been taken by the present, for the course pur sued was the same in each case.—( Hear, hear.) When his Noble Friend was applied to by Mr. Warner, he had offered to refer the matter °to three scient , fic officers. The inventor doubted, indeed, whether that would be safe for his own in terest ; but surely he might have thrown himself upon the generosity of his countrymen.—( Hear, hear.) In consequence of his refusing to submit to this test, the Government declined further corresrn lence on the subject. Lord INGESTRIE said, Mr. Warner had very justly feared that, if the Board should learn a part of his secret, it would be a very good indication of what was to follow. Was it not possible, that there might not be an invention superior to gunpowder ? Major VIVIAN admitted that it might be possible, but he doubted if the invention was of the description the Gallant Captain supposed. Colonel FOX asked, if the Noble Lord knew what were the terms, or the sum, required by Captain Warner? Lord INGESTRIE had always 1001.. ed on that as a question entirely between Captain Warner and the Government. He thought that anything short of a very large sum would be a bargain to the country. After a few words from Colonel PEEL, which were quite inaudible, Captain PECHELL said that Captain Warner could not have put his case into better hands, as what he thought right he always pursued without reference to party. The present Government had not been able to treat wish Captain Warner, and therefore they had done no more than the late Govern. ment. He thought that every person must now know that the course pursued by the late Government was a most proper one. Every body must know the respectability and efficiency of the officers that were appointed to witness the effect of Capt. Warner's invention, but that gentleman had hung back. '1 he late Government, therefore, could not be blamed for not adopt ing an invention that had never been brought properly before them. Mr. BROTHERTON thought both the late and the present Government had acted most wisely in refusing to reward this gentleman for such an infernal. invention.—( Laughter.) He trusted that no British Parliament would ever give a reward for an invention, on the ground that it would blow up a whole town at once. The vote was then agreed to. 331,0001. was next voted for Ordnance Stores. A vote of 2,78/. for expences of the Office of Ordnance was agreed to. Th e next R em was f ar a sum of 169,0001., for the superannu ation, pensions, and allowances to widows and children of offi cers, & c., in the Ordnance department. The vote was agreed to. The sum of '219,514/. was voted for defraying the charges of the Commissiarat supplies fur the United Kingdom in the year 1842 and 1843. The sum of 194,4964 was proposed for defraying the charges of new works, including repairs of naval yards, from the 31st day of March , 1843. A statement was made by Captain PECHELL of the hard ships of the Admiralty withholding the sums due as arrears to the widows of officers who had been inmates of lunatic asylums, where they were supported at the expense of Government. An accumulation of arrears was due to their widows at the pre- sent time. Sir G. COCKBURN deprecated the course pursued by the Hon. and Gallant Member in bringing forward a statement of such a nature without giving notice of his interition. Sir T. TROUBttIDGE defended the conduct of the Ad miralty. It was frequently attacked for not doing what it ac tually had not the power of doing. Captain PECHELL did not think that this question should be mixed up with pension , for civil services. The present was a claim which the Admiralty acknowledged; but which they had not the courage to meet. After a few w ords from Sir C. NAPIER and Sir G. Cocxnuan, ASS" • Cap!ain I.ECH EL I. gave notice that when the report should be brought up, he would present the petition of Airs. Forbes, which would give the Admiralty an opportunity of giving the necessary explanations. Lore INGES 1 RIE was not present when the vote for the deck-yards had been agreed to, but he wished to dr, w the at tention et, the Committee to the importance of naval architec ture. He condemned the present system, which made the Sur veyor of the Navy sole judge of all proposed improvements, and attributed the present miserable state of our naval architecture to the eoutinuanee of that system, They had several trials of ships of late years, but they had not been fairly conducted.' There had been a degree of favouritism manifested which had ope rated most prejudicially. This was a subject of very great im portance. and he was sure it was well worthy the attention of the Government. After a short conversation, Sir C NAPIER said he had not had time to give this branch of the estimates the attention he could have wished. Looking to the amount annually voted for the civil naval service, up wards of 100,000/., he put it to the Committee whether it wai right that they should have the whole of the situations in the different departments filled by civilians. The manning of the navy had been always a source of complaint, and he asked Hon. Gentlemen opposite—and he did not do so with any factious feeling, but he wished to call their attention to the propriety of employing naval men in this department—he asked whether such a course as this would not hold out an inducement to persona to enter the navy? How many pensions would be saved by the Government, pensions given to clerks and pursers, who were perfectly able and competelit to fill these situations. They had but one man who had been a purser employed in this de partment, and he would ask whether this was as it ought to be? He should very shortly move for certain returns of all the civilians now employed in the navy, poiniinT out the situation held by them before their appointment, and whether they. were gentlemen's or noblemen's ser vants, together with the First Lord of the Admiralty in office in Ireland, of the repeal of the m k it d raw b ac k in thai part of MOSES NEW. in k c p ,. r flr•at Malvern, Worces‘tert , hke, the United !

After a few worth from M. SMITH O'BRIEN, the mo tion was agreed to. In reply to a question from Mr. P. BORTHWICK, Sir J.

Mr. HAWS was understood to ask for the postponement of the Bill for a short time. Lord STANLEY said that as notice had been given on the subject, and as it was essential that the Bill should be passed with as little delay as possible, he could not consent to its post - ponement. There was no objection to the Bill except one clause. Mr. HAWES said, that he would take the opportunity of moving that the clause be s• ruck out, when the Bill was again under consideration. Mr. WAKI.EY said, that the manner in which the Orders of the Day were taken was very inconvenient. He should, therefore, suggest, that the Orders shoul.‘ be put in the paper, in the suceession in which they were to be taken. With regard to the Bill of the Noble Lord, the only ohjectionable clause related to the Hill Coolies He thought the subject should he made one of separate legislation, and not be introduced into the Bill before the House. _ . Lord STANLEY said, th?t the objectionable clause gave no new powers whatever. Sir R. PEEL said it was his wish to anticipate what had fallen from the Hon. Member for Finsbury, with regard tf) the succession in which the orders were to be brought under consideration. He thought it was generally understood that. the Ordnance and Navy Estimates should be gist gone through, and that these, •ogeti,er with the l'o!onial Passenge. s' Act., would afford business enough for the evening. Thil not usually make such progress as they did tl-night, and he thought that the three subjects he m••ntioned would he suffi cient. He was however agreeably disappointed, and he would take care in future to provide six or seven orders.—( A laugh. ) The amendments were then agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third timeon Friday next. PENTONVILLE PRISON BILL. On the motion of Sir JAMES GRAHAM this Bill was read a third time. The Right Hon. Gentleman said that he perceived the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath wished for a separate system of punishment. and he would have an oppor tunity of stating his opinions on a future occasion. Mr. ROEBUCK expressed himself satisfied. THE AUSTRALIAN NEW ZEALAND BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. THE EXCISE DUTIES COMPOUND BILL. This Bill wai read a third time and passed. ROASTED MALT BILL. Mr. GREENE brought up the Report on the Roasted ➢lalt Bill, which was ordered to be received. THE INC UMBENTS' .. LEA SING (No. 2) BILL. On the motion of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, the House re solved itself into Committee on this bill; Mr. GREEN& in the chair. _ _ The whole of the clauses were agreed to, and the Report was ordered to be brought up on Monday. The House then resumed. ECCLESIASTICAL CORPORATIONS LEASING (No. 2) BILL. On the motion of Sir J. GRAHAM, the House went into Committee on this Bill, and after a few words from Sir J. GRAHAM, Mr. HAWES said, if he understood the provisions of this Bill they were about to give an increased value to Church pro perty, and they were on the eve of converting that intaa fund for the benefit of the Church. They were now in a situation not only of largely increasing the value of Church property. but of making a large grant of pubic money for Church Ex tension. The House might past it, and the Right Hon. Baronet might bring in such measures based on Conservative grounds, but he must say, that it would give great discontent out of doors. On behalf of a large class out of that !louse, he did say that the Church had enough already for all-spiritual purposes, and in as gmenting it he wag, sure they were not adding to its . spiritual welfare. In the presont state of the House, he would tot vetinfre'to' take up the timed the House, but he thought it his duty to express-his protest against the Bill. -Sir. GRAHAM explained, but in so low a tone of voice . as to be inaudibly. sad he wished to know whether the ineum- . Vela' derived any benefit from this law, and what was the differ fence betwerneorporations aggregate, and corporations sole. Sir J. GRAHAM said—With respect to corporations ag - - gregate, Parliament had come to an arrangement, and fixed the amount of charge on each individual, limiting the amount to be drawn trom the funds.' In , corporations sole, the apptopria= Lion should be for the life of the inculibent The corporatidrl• sole should hats 'the ptivree. of grading leases of ninely-nine years. And as the individuals emstituting the corpora , ion de rived no benefit from the charge, so, on the other hand, in the corporationi sole, the incumbent would derive great bmefit. Mr. HA WES said, he understood then that a be nefieed clergy man; who might hold more livings than one. would have the value of his livings increased, and would t , e benefited ; but the Dean and Chapter, suppose they leased property under this Bill, would receive very small advantages. Why should tir•se incum bents, many of whom had large incomes, receive this great ad vantage, VI hilst the Dean anti Chapter received none? Mr. ROEBUCK could not see why, in one ease, property de voted to certain purposes, should be sacredly anti religious ap propriated to that e lapse, and that in another case it should he devoted to a very different purpose. He thought that corpora tions, aggregate and sole, should be placed on the same footing. SirJ AMES GRA HAM explained, Lord J. MANNERS thought the Bill introduced tty the Government was founded en very just and right principles. Mr. BROTH ERTON thought that the Bill was intended to do that by one general Aci, whigh had hitherto always been effected by several private tolls. It would enable persons who professed a great deal for the Church, to alienate the property of the Church for their own individual intere,ts. Mr. SHAW said that. it was not - fair for the Hon. Member for Lambeth to refer to the Appropittion Clause, which, in a former Bill, the Noble Lord who introduced that Bill (Lord Stanley) had abandoned. Mr. HAWES denied that the clause had been voluntarily abandoned by the Noble Lord who had carried the Bill through this House, having a proviso that the increased value of Church property should be carried to the credit of the Con • solidated Fund, and be applied to State purposes. Lord STANLEY thought that the Bill did not go through this House in the form which the Hon. Member for Lambeth represented. As well as he remembered, the facts were these: when he ( Lord S.) found on the disccussion in the second reading of th-t, Bill nine years ago, that the construction put upon the Appropriation Muse by both sides of the House was, that it was the first step to the alienation of ecclesiastical property from ecclesiastical purposes, he withdrew the elau.,e, declaring that he would not be a party to any such alienation. Mr. WAKLEY had been sick enough of the Irish Church Bills. But he would ask was the House pre pared to say that every improvement in the value of Church property shall go to benefit the incumbent only? He had no objection to increase the income of those who were insuffi ciently paid ; but when they were going to make a law that would enornously increase the value of Church property, was it right that they should give all the advantage to the incum bent, and nothing to the Church or to the congregation? He hoped the House would not allow such a Bill to be pressed through a Committee so small. He trusted, therefore, that the Right Hon. Baronet would consent to the Chairman's re porting progress and asking leave to sit again. Sir J. GRAHAM could not conceive how any objection could be raised against the clauses of this Bill, which was only to enable land to be let for building what could not now be so let. If Hon. Gentlemen held objections to the principle of the Bill, they might make their objections on bringing up the. Re • port, or at the third reading. He would not take any step either for the bringing up of the Report or for the third, read ing, without giving ample notice. The Bill then went through Committee ; the Report to be brought up this day fortnight. LAW OF MERCHANTS ACT. On the motion that the Speaker leave the Chair, to go into a Committee on this Bill, Mr. GLADSTONE said that this BM was not now intro duced for the first time ; it was founded on the representa. tions of the leading merchants both of the metropolis and Li verpool, and it was intended to give effect to a series of changes that had been introduced into mercantile practice, and to meet the growing wants ot their commerce. In the words of the preamble it was intended to give security and validity to a,4- vances on goods and merchandi,e. It was also intended to give greater security to sate' by agents, as against principals, and to remove various restrictions imposed by the present law. The present law ttid not allow of advances on the ground of possession of the goods only, but en the possession of documents, such as bills of lading, entitling to the property of the goods. The pres ent law prof to give the agent possessing the goods, the same facilities as the agent possessing th e papers an d d oc uments. It would afro assimi late the law highly desirable t o g i ve t h es e additional facilities, and he did of thfs country to tha t of other nations. It was not think that it could at all tend to render frauds more easy on the part of the agent. Hethelieved that there would be no objection made to the Bill, considering the support it had re ceived out of doors. The House then went into Committee on the Bill, and the two first clauses were agreed to. Mr. W. ELLIS asked whether the words " bona fide ad vance" applied to a money payment? Mr. GLADSTONE did not think the Bill would tend to in troduce any doubt or uncertainty. Mr. ROEBUCK thenght this was so strictly a legal Bill , that it would be of great advantage if the Lavi Officers of the Crown would give their Opinion on it. The Bill went through Committee —Report on Monday neat. BRIBERY PREVENTION BILL. Mr. ROEBUCK, in moving the first reading of the Bill, said that it had come from the Lords ; and, although he did not abandon the Bill which he had himself propo:ed to in troduce, he believed that the present measure, with the addi tion of a few amendments, would answer his object. The Bill was then read a first time, and was ordered to be read a second time on Monday next. Sir .1. GRAHAM obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Acts ler the Commutation of Tithes.in England, do eon tinue the ofEeers appointed under the said Acts for a time. The Right Hon. Baronet said that the alterations he proposed to introduce related espe'cially to the jurisdiction of the Tithe Commissioners, and certain conflicts respecting costs. He would adopt the remedy suggested in the Report of the Com missioners. The CHANCELLOR' of the EXCHEQUER moved for a C tee to inquire into the effect upon the trade in spirits TEA .
