Last evening her MAJESTY'S Government expe rienced a defeat upon a question of vital importance— s question relating to the radix of administration. Upon the introduction of his promised motion on the present system of taxation and of public expenditure, 31r. HENRY DRUMMOND oh:2lnel a majority of three in his favour out of a House of 139-68 voting for, and 71 against the amendment introduced by Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR. Now, taking into con sideration the rapidly approximating close of the session, and the thinness of the attendance in the Commons, we are ready, of course, to acknowledge that the triumph, though distinct enough in itself, is very far from being, in any degree, decisive. Still it is entitled to some degree of attention from its peculiar significance, from its being indicative of a disposition on the part of no insignificant division of the Parliament to require a searching revision, and ultimately a complete re-organization of the existing mode of taxation and expenditure. The purport of the motion introduced by the Honourable Gentleman the Representative of West Surrey cannot be regarded even by the most radical reformer of finance as in any respect ambiguous. Its different clauses are sufficiently explicit condemnatory o f the " amount" of taxation as larger than is actually re quisite for "the good and efficient government of the United Kingdom," and of the "mode" of taxation, a s pressing lightly on the wealthier and heavily on the poorer portions of the population. It denounced, moreover, in so many words the enormous sums con sumed " in supporting needless places, extravagant salaries, and unnecessary works and establishments." Although the Honourable Gentleman disclaimed from the outset any intention to make a direct charge exclusively against the ruling statesmen—the evil of which he complained having arisen many generations before the birth of the one which witnessed their accession to power—it was evident that no other attitude could be assumed by the organs of the Cabi net but that of the defensive. The interests of the present are identical with those of all the preceding Governments —those interests being the interests of patronage, place, and emolument. It was i ncum b en t, therefore, upon the Right Hon. Baronet the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to deliver precisely the speech as that pronounced by him last evening, in an swer to the aspersions cast at the policy of which his of ficial rank rendered him for the timebeing the advocate. It was very far, however, from being incumbent upon the majority of the representatives present to declare by their votes their disrelish for the ancient and pre vailing schemes of national taxation and public ex penditure. Mr. DRUMMOND must, nevertheless, judiciously abstain from claiming for his arguments anything at all approaching to the characteristic of novelty. Those especially in which he demonstrated the odious and glaring injustice of class legis lation, as instanced in the relative propor tion of taxes imposed upon the richer and poorer divisions of the community, are familiar to the mul titude, in consequence of their endless repetition. That the olden system of taxation was in the highest degree unjust—that that injustice consisted princi pally in the exorbitant imposts inflicted upon the labouring classes, as compared with the imposts levied upon their superiors in wealth—that this was shown in the tax of 10 per cent. levied on the cottons worn by the upper classes, and the tax of 50 per cent. levied on those cottons, which, from their comparative cheapness, were used by the working population—that the same monstrous ar rangement was shown in the duties imposed on beer, on wine, and on leather (leather being taxed according to the pound weight, wine being subjected to a pay ment of 100 per cent. ad valorem duty, and 150 per cent. being fixed upon beer, the common beverage of the labourer)—that this execrable and unjust system had been bolstered up by a variety of aristocratic in, fluence was all known well enough to the masses long before the light of truth upon this particular dawned upon the imagination of the lion. Gentleman the Member for West Surrey. Neither did it re main for Sir CHARLES WOOD to announce to the people of the United Kingdoms that " the tendency of all recent fiscal legislation was to abandon the ad valorem system and to impose axed duties on all commodities." But it did remain for a majority of the House of Commons to avow as distinctly as it did yesterday, that the nation still regards with im patience the fact that the principle of taxa tion, by which the relative amounts have been fixed, has not yet been entirely abandoned. That there does exist the tendency spoken of by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER no one presumes to gainsay ; but what the population requires is, not a tendency to reform, but reform itself. The "ten dency" of the reforming policy of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Administration was recognised in the aeries of great innovations which gradually led to his grand measure of 1846. The " tendency" of the re forming policy of Lord JOLIN RU , SSELL' , s Ad ministration is gues sed at only through the dubious atmosphere of party platitudes and official ambiguities. In the former Government we could recognise the development of a grand effort for the amelioration of the industrial classes. In tin latter it is as impossible to conjecture the purpose o the policy of the Ministers as it is to conjecture tht next pattern in the shaken heads and glass splinters of a kaleidoscope. It is because of the miserably du bious posi ion occupied by Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his col!eagues among the number of Reformers that they occasionally find themselves, as they did last evening, in an ignominious minority. 13;.sidea the public meeting to be holden on Mon diy at the London Tavern, it w ill be learnt with satisfaction by those who sympathise with curselvet in the cause of the Hungarians, that strenuous efforts are making by a portion of our hereditary and repre sentative Legislators to protest against the apathetic policy of her MAJESTY'S Government. A Memorial ; addressed to the Ministerial advisers of the SOVE REIGN, is now in progress of being signed by Mem bers of both Houses of the Imperial Parliament— and, be sure, among those signatures the names of the noble-hearted representatives who con stitute the Hungarian Committee occupy a very conspicuous position—in which 'Memorial the attention of the Ministry is forcibly directed to the unholy coalition between the Austrian Imbecile and the Russian Autocrat, against the liberty of the population, and the integrity of the dominions of Hungary. It demands, moreover, in energetic lan guage that the Government shall at once clearly and strongly express its disapprobation, if not horror, at this unjust agiression on a people whose noble conduct excites the sympathy of all Europe. The public will be, moreover, interested to learn that this able and powerful Memorial—conceived in a spirit so generous, and conveyed in terms so emphatic—is understood to be the produc tion of a very distinguished nobleman—the Earl FITZWILLIAM. Through the medium of this Memo rial, of these public meetings, and of our pecuniary Testimonial, the people and the Parliament of Eng land will be enabled to declare their sympathy for the Hungarian cause in tones loud enough to set at defiance the repressive influence of the Government. A paragraph will be found in another part of this evening's impression formally contradicting the statement that Mr. JAMES PARKER, Q C., had con sented to become a candidate for the repre sentation of the city of London. We can not be in any degree surprised that such a very silly project has been abandoned, when we know that the requisition to Mr. PARKER, calling upon him to stand forward on the hustings at Guildhall as the organ of the Protectionist interests, received only four signatures at the Queen's Head in the Poultry ! and only five signatures in the Grand Committee Room at the London Tavern ! Nine sup porters being all that the Conservative cause could muster in a long summer's day in the heart of the city of London! Surely, this is a new version, or rather a travestie of the Midsummer Day's Dream. TEE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday The Assembly on Wednesday granted the necessary authorization for the prosecution of MM. COMMIS SAIRE, CANTAGREL, and KCENIG. The National has the following : " The Prince of CANINO (CHARLES BONAPARTB, the son of LucrEN), ex-President of the Roman Consti tuent Assembly, was yesterday arrested at Orleans by order of the Ministry, just as he had arrived at that city from Marseilles on his road to Paris. It is re ported that he is to be transferred to the Chateau of Ham. The same journal states that a serious collision, attendel with loss of life, had taken place in C ors i ca , between a battali on o f th e G ar d e M o bil e s t at i one d i n that island and certain of the inhabitants, who were offended at the language in which some of the Gardes Mobiles had_spoken of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, their countryman. The Assemblee Nationale proposes to plant a new colony, in which all the political exiles at present re siding in France shall be invited to settle. The National Guard of Beaumont and of Aubien, in the Auvergne, have been dissolved by a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic. The Committee to whom the demand for the pro rogation of the Assembly was referred has reported in favour of that measure. The Permanent Commission of Finance has been definitely constituted. M. BERRYER has been named President, and M. Goyim Vice-President. MM. Dm CHASSELOUT, LounAT, and BODST have been elected secretaries. The debate on the laws of the press is fixed for Saturday. M.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. The Prussian Moniteur of July 17 says : " We are able to make the following communications relative to the treaty concluded on the 26th May between Prussia, Saxony, and Hanover, and proposed to the other German Governments. The formal adhesion to it of the Grand Duchy of Baden and of the Duchies of Anhalt• Bembourg have also been received from the Grand Duchies of Hesse Darmstadt, Saxe Weimar, Mecklen burg Strelitz, Oldenburg, and Nassau. The Govern ments of the El2ctorate of Hesse, and of the Duchies of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, Saxe-Meiningen, Saxe-Altenburg, Anhalt-Dessau, and Cothen, and the free town of Bre men, have plenipotentiaries at present at Berlin negoti ating terms of accession. Brunswick will also soon send a representative on her part. Tee sittings of the Council of Adwinistration of the Allied Governments, in which - he Baden plenipotentiary Meysenbourg takes part, con tinue regularly." The following are the brms of the armistice agreed on between Prussia and Denmark : " A suspension of hostilities, both by sea and land, ..or six months, is agree,' to. At the close of this period lie armistice, if not to be renewed, is to continue six weeks longer. The Prussian and German troops are to withdrawn from Jutland within twenty five days 41ter the ratification of the armistice, and to take up he position assigned to them in the articles agreed on. The Generals on either side are to agree upon a line of demarcatien extending from Flensburg on the south to rendern on the north. During the continuance of the armistice Prussia is allowed to keep 6,000 men on the ,outh side of the line. The part of Schleswig which is co the north of the line is to be occupied by 2,000 neutral troops. The King of Sweden is to be requested to furnish these troops. The King of Denmark is to bear the costs herwby in curred. The islands of Alien and Aree are to remain :n the occupation of the D:nish troepr. The blockade is to be raised as soon as the Germln troops have been moved to the south of Rensburg. The orders for their retreat, and for the removal of the blockade, are to be issued at the same time. The captured vessels, with .hair cargoes, are to be restored on both sides. If the 2argoes have perished compensation is to be made. Tne ~ontributions in money and horses exacted in Jutland -are to be repaid. "Commissioners are to be appointed by both parties to -stime.te their amount, and if they cannot agree, en English commissioner is to he ridded as umpire. All prisoners arc to be exchanged at Flensburg within twenty-five deys after the ratification. During the ;ontinuance of the armistice the Duchy of Sehleswig is to be governt d by a commission, of which one member is to be nominate:) by the King of Denmark, one by the King of Prussia. The Queen of England is to be re quested to nominate a third member, Who is to decide in cass when the other two cannot agree. The coal fission is to govern in conformity to the existing laws. it is empowered to repeal all laws enacted since the 17th if March, IS4B, of which it does not approve. It can !: - .11 out the troops stationed in the different parts of the luchy, for the purpose of maintaining order. It is, in !uncert with the King of Denna , .rk, to decide what flig .he ships of Schleswig are to sail under. The rest of the sr rman states arc to be invited to accede to the armistice, end on their accession they are to be admittel to the y...nefit of all its provisions. The ratifications are to be .xchanged within eight days." THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 20„ 1849 AUSTRIA. AND HUNGARY. The news from the seat of war continues to be of :be most contradictory character. The official Gazette of Vienna announces the occu- Lition of Olen by a corps of partizans, commanded )y Major llussEiN, who found both Ofen and Pesth tesertcd by the Magyars. It also announces the nary of PASKEWITCII into Pesth; yet the same offi :;ial journal states that on the 6th KossuTu returned co Pesth, where he was received with the greatest .enthusinsm. The orders of KOSSUTH in his proclamation to the llungarian people are carried out to the letter. The Hungarians have buried their corn and their other provisions, and have driven their horses and oxen into he forests and mountains. The consequence is that the Imperial armies have neither provisions nor means .if transport sufficient. All their provisions have to be ssnt to them from across the frontier, and from Presburgh to the head-quarters of the army; there is not a single change of horses,l oxen, or beasts of burden to be had. It is said that DEMBINSKI has effected a juncture with GEORGEY at Gyoogyos. The report of the defeat of JELLACHICII is con firmed; thus the circle in which the Hungarians were to have been "hemmed in" is broken. The Wanderer states that BEM has collected all his troops near Sz.gedin to make head against the Russians. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. ScrmuswrG, JULY 16.—A very full meeting of the Legislative National Assembly was held this morning to receive the official communications rela tive to Denmark and the Duchies, which were brought from the Cabinet of Berlin by Major VAN MANTEUFFEL. The most profound attention, not unmixed with reiterated marks of disapprobation was exhibited by the audience during the reading of the three documents, viz., a letter from Count VAN BRAT DENBURG to the legislative Government, the protocol relative to the preliminaries of peace, and the conditions of the armistice agreed upon between the King of l'Russu and the King of DENT.SARIS, and concluded at Berlin on the 10th ult. The protocol consists of five articles, and the convention of the armistice of fourteen. The Stadholdership of Schleswig has addressed a written answer to these documents to the Prussian Government, protesting that the treaty was founded erroneously, and that the renewal of the bond, which formerly connected the two Duchies, would be fraught with the most fatal consequences.—Hamburgh Papers, July 17. ITALY. Intelligence has been received from Rome to the 10th instant. General OUDINOT, it is said, complains much of the manner in which he is treated by his Government. The orders he receives from the Minister at War and the Minister for Foreign Affairs respectively are of so contradictory a character that he finds it sometimes quite impossible to reconcile them. Several of the members of the old Papal Camarilla, including Cardinals BERNETTI, UGOLINI, and the notorious ANTONELLI, have returned to Rome. The Governor of Rome has established himself in the Palace Torlor.i3, and Colonel CHAPIUS, who is appointed Prefect of Police, has taken up bis resi dence at the Palace .lladama. Several persons have been arrested; among their number is Signor.Accußsr, late Envoy from the Roman Republic to Paris. _ _ _ - GARIBALDI was, it was said, at Civita Casteliana. The Roman Dragoons have refused to serve the French. General Wairreig has joined the circle at Gaeta. SICILY. It is said that General FILANGIERI has refused to return to Naples until the KING shall have fulfilled the promises made to the people of Palermo, and on the faith of which that city surrendered. VENICE. The siege operations against Venice have been dis continued, in consequence of the fatal prevalence of fever and sickness among the Austrian troops, occa sioned by the excessive heat and hard work. The batteries were reduced to silence and the activity of the besiegers is limited to the establishment of a strict blockade by land and sea. In this way it is thought that the reduction of Venice may be procured without further bloodshed. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. A slight increase has taken place in the arrivals of English Wheat for our market this week. To•day the show of samples, several of which were the refuse of Monday, was moderately good. Very few buyers were in attendance, and the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was exceedingly heavy, and, where sales took place, prices were the turn lower than on Monday, without effecting a clearance. Only 4,720 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand; but several large cargoes are shortly expected from the Black Sea. Se lected qualities were heavy at about stationary prices, but all other kinds were somewhat easier to purchase. Owing to the large arrival of foreign, the Barley trade was heavy, at a decline in prices of Is. per quarter, and no progress could be made in sales at that amount of de pression. Malt, the supply of which was small, sold slowly, at unaltered currencies. Very few English Oats were on show, but the supply of foreign was large, 24,060 quarters. The Oat trade ruled heavy, and prices receded is. per quarter. Beans, Peas, Indian CJrn and Flour very dull, at barely Monday's prices. AIIRIITAIS THIS WEEK. I Wheat. I Barley.

Although the number of buyers in attendance waz: not large, the beef trade ruled firm, and in some few instances the prices of the best Scots were the turn higher. With Sheep we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily supplied, even the time of - year considered. Prime old Downs moved off steadily at fully Monday's quotations, but all other breeds of Sheep were a slow inquiry at unaltered currencies. The former sold at from 3s. Bd. to fully 39. lOd. per Sibs.

There is but little business doing in Mark Lane to day. and wheat is is. to 25. lower nominally. The ar • rivals are 4,720 quarters of wheat, 14,970 of harley, and 24,060 of oats. _ The Produce Markets have been rather quiet this week, and the supply of sugar and some other articles is fuller. Indigo has scarcely held so brisk a sale Cottca has been firm. An arrival from the Cape of Geod Hope furnkhes advices of May 9. A vessel had arrived in the Eastern provirce with a number of boys sent out by the philan thropic society, and they were all engaged in a few hours. Still great suspicion attached to these "exiles," as some of the local papers style them, and there was a disposition to regard their introduction as an experiment preparatory to the arrival of convicts. The colony is certainly much in need of labour, but stoutly resists any measure of supply that would appear to convert it into a penal settlement. Advice's from the Continent have been received by several of the mails. The fair of I3eaucaire is stated to be going off favourably, and a considerable number of foreign buy ers were in the market. The Sardinians and Spaniards, however, had not yet arrived. At IlareLurgb, on Tuesday last, the rate of Ex change on London was 13 10, and the price of gold was 437. Bills at all dates were in request. Money was very abundant, and Funds and Shares were morn active. From St. Petereburgh, under date of the 10th instant, we kern that business was brisker, but that this arises chiefly from the execution of old contracts, and not from fresh orders given. The Bras lan wool market was very animated on the 11th inst. It may be us:ful to remind parties that newspapers forwarded through Prussia to Turkey, Servia, the Levant, Greece, Egypt, the lonian Islands, and the Italian States, not belonging to Austria, are:liable to a Postage of ld. us the Prussian rate, consequently lid. on each must now be paid in advance here. The Funds are still rather dull, but the intelli gence received of the conclusion of the Danish armis tice is calculated to give strength to the market, and has in 1 entity prevented a decline. Con sols have been 92- to 93-4- for transfer, and 93 to -I for account, ana are now 927- t to 93 and 93 to 3 i. Bank Stock is well supported at 199 to 200, and South Sea Stock at 103.

Exchequer-bills continue at 483. to 51s. premium, and India Bonds at 83s. premium, an evid ence of the abundance of money. In Foreign Securities the dealings have been trifling, and many of the jobbers have left town. Th ere are certain spec u l a t ors , however, who are still very active in depressing Mexican Bonds, which have ranged from 2tat to 1. Portuguese Four per Cents, have been 301 to 30i.

The at tention, he said, that was at all times paid to the pas sengers, and the care that was taken of the merchandise that was placed in his keeping, deserved more than re spect; he begged, therefore, that the worthy Captain would accept the trifle he now offered as a mark of es teem for his uniform good conduct, and his willingness on all occasions to render the voyage to all his passen gers a trip of pleasure instead of a matter of tusiness.

THE ACCIDENT TO AN AERONAUT.—DISCOVERY OF THE BODY.—AII doubts regarding the fate of the unfortunate aeronaut who on Monday week attempted to cross the Channel in a balloon were yesterday set at rest by the discovery of the body. Some fishermen, it ap pear, found it on the Flathouse Sands, a shoal nearly in the centre of the British Channel, off Laveroock Point, about twelve miles south of Cardiff. IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN T. HOUSE OF LORDS, July 19. STATE OF THE STEAM NAVY. Earl TALBOT, in moving for returns relative to the state of the navy, called the attention of their Lord ships to the correspondence which had recently ap peared in the newspapers and bad taken place between Admiral Napier and the Duke of Portland, in which that gallant officer enters into the question of the efficiency of the steam navy of this country. He dal not wish to go into the merits of that correspondence, but, as a question of so much importance had bean raised, he was anxious to sfford the Government an op portunity of setting it at rest by stating whether the steam navy of the country is, or is not, sufficient for the service of the country. The gallant Admiral stated that there are three steam-frigates in the English navy; and that there are twenty frigates of that description in the French navy; but he did net think the gallant Admiral adduced any strong proof in support of that assertion. The gabaet Admiral stated in the most positive terms that wo had only three vessels carrying guns on the main deck propelled by steam. On looking at the Nary List he found that the gallant Admiral bed altogether omitted one class of ships, namely, the screw ships, which would prove of very great efficiency and use; so much so, that he had little doubt that in the course of a few years the screw system would be applied to all sailing vessels, and then we should no longer have paddle-wheel vessels going into action with guns on their main deck. He (Earl Talbot) should not have mooted this question, had it not been passed over in the other House, where the Admiralty was more immediately represented than in their Lordships' House, and whero it could have been more properly discussed. But deeming it of great importance, ho had drawn up a list of returns, which he had submitted to the Board of Admiralty, and to which he had received the assent of that Board ; but, on re consideration he had thought it advisable to move only the two first, in order that the others might hereafter be somewhat modified. The returns for which he now moved wero " 1. Number and description of each war-steamer in commission, showing tonnage , horse-power, and arma ment, quantity of coal each is capable of carrying under hatches, consumption of coal per diem when under full steam, distinguiihing screw from paddle-wheel ships. " 2. Similar return of war-steamers either advanced, in ordinary, or under repair." if these returns should be made, their Lordships would possess an official record, showing the extent of the steam force of the country. He believed that a vast waste of the public money had taken place in the construction of steamers, principally owing to the want of a scientific board of construction, to whom the construction of vessels might be re tared. Such a board would be able to judge, not only as to the form of the vessel, but as to the adap tation of their machinery, end all the other points con nected with their construction. Hitherto there had been no harmony between the constructor of the ship and the maker of the engine, and the consequence was that a great number of alterations had taken place at an enor• mous expense. He would not trouble their L 'rdships with the names of the ships which had been so mis managed, because it wculd occupy too much time; but he could not help referring to one ship which the gallant Admiral had constructed. The Sidon was by no means a perfect ship; and, with all respect for the gallant Admiral, he should have been surprised if he could have been the means of constructing a perfect man of war. He had been told that the Sidon was ex cessively cranky, and that the least thing made her heel over in the most extraordinary way. In the returns which he intended to move for at a future day would 13 , 3 included the merchant steamers which could be made available for a case of emergency. He believed that in the contracts entered into with the large steam compa nies, who received grants for carrying the mails, a clause was inserted compelling the proprietors to construct their vessels in such a way as to be able, in case of ne cessity, to carry heavy ordnance. Ho thought that would be a very useful return to lay before the House. The Gallant Admiral stated that be had seen the French steamers, and made a report to the Admiralty on that subject. It was his (Earl Talbot's) intention to move for a copy of that report, in order that their Lordships and the country might be able to judge of the extent of the French force. He was far from wishing to create any thing like jealousy between the two countries; but ho thought no one could deny, considering th e insular posi tion of this country, that she was entitled to have a force at least equally efficient with that of France, He held in his hand a statem( nt of the ships in commission in the English and French navies, taken from our own Navy List, and from the Journal de la Marine in France, and the statement of the President of the French Republic, The following was tl:e result:— LINE OF BATTLE SHIPS IN COMMISSION.

He trusted, how ever , th a t in future means would be taken t o correct the ev il s comp l a i ne d of, and that our ste amers wou ld no l onger be i n any cas e the laughingestock of the w or ld ; f or t hi s countr y Pet' • sessed every facility f or b u ildi eg t h e fi nest steamers in the world, and equ ip p i ng t h em i n a proper w anner. Whilst on the subj ec t o f nava l matters, he s h ou ld like to obtain a return of the number of classes into which ships are divided ? Ti'e present system was produc tive of the greatest possible confusion. For instance, if one ship was disabled, or lost a particular spar, there was sometimes considerable difficulty in procuring another, and the consequence was, great delay in ths public service. This arose from a want of classifica tion. A maximum ought to be established, showing what a fiest-rate ought to be—her number of guns, and the amount of her tonnage. The same ought to be done ve . th respect to the other classes. The navy would be much more efficient, if re duced to five or six elssses ; for then the apses of one class world be a substitute for those of a different class, according to the size of the vessel. The Noble Earl then adverted to the circular issued to the dockyards by Mr. Ward, the late Secretary to the Admiralty, relative to the system of education to b e p ursue d t h ere . He (Earl Talbot) thought the present system capable of groat improvement, and believed that nothing had been more detrimental to the service than the abolition of the School of Naval Architecture. At a future day he intended to move for a return of the number of m , n discharged from the dockyard since February, 1847. Tin. same systeett was now going on which obtained in 1832 and 1333, end which he considered the very reverse of economical. Having made those remtrks, he would only sa y in con c'usion, that he f e lt p er f ect ly confident that our steam' navy if called upon would be able to maintain the chae racier of the country. Although France might pow", greater facilities than formerly for the transport et troops, it :.hould be remembered that the means of re' slating them had been equally facilitated. It certainly behoved this country to be watchful, but he had no fear of the result, particularly as he trusted our steam boate would shortly be placed on a proper and more efficient footing. He (mild not sit down without reminding the Government of certain .powera and inventions which would secure the country not only against all the steamers of France but of Europe; and he thought the.) were very remiss in no t secur i ng t h em f or the bene fi t or the country. The Noble Earl concluded by moving for the two returns above given. The Earl of MINTO did not intend to follow the Noble Earl through his observations on the subject of the steal navy. Had ho been aware of the nature of the return' required by the Noble Earl, he would have obtained such Laura:teflon tom the Admiralty as would have enabled him to give a more satisfactory answer than he now bad it in his power to do. He perfectly agreed with the Noble Earl in the belief that whenever the state of the n 24 might be looked into it would afford the most entire sr' tisfection and security to the country. So far as his own knowledge of the navy went, it certainly was of a WO better description than might be inferred from certain remarks which had been made, and ho saw nothing in . them deserving th e designation of the " la u ghing stock of the world." Wi.h regard to the motives of the Noble Earl in moving for the return to counteract the repro' sentations which had proceeded from a very distinguisbea and gallant officer, he (the Earl of Minto) was sorry to s.iy he had not had sufficient leisure to enable him to look into that correspondecce; but he might be per mitted to express his regret *at an officer of rank and standing of the gallant Admiral theuld have thought it advisable to carry on a cerrpespondenes and controversy of that nature.—(Hear, hear.) It could be attended With no public advantage wh a t ever , m i g h t prove very detri mental to the public service, and was a practice which ought to be us much as possible discountenanced. 0° understood there was no objection to the two first re turns, and, therefore, woeld agree to them. He trustee/ however, that before the Noble Eatl moved for the re' maining returns he would give sufficient notice, in order that he (the Earl of Minto) might have the opportunity of communicating with the Admiralty on the subject; The returns were then ordered.

The Honourable. and Gallant Officer also read another statement in the same speech, relative to the fortresses of Malta end Gibra:tar, which, be oil was alto inaccurate, and appealed for th e accur acy ° t his statement to the Honourable Member fur the We s Riding.
