SUPPLY.

On the motion for going into supply,
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY called attention to the fact that, ac-
cording to the last financial statement, there had been an
excess of expenditure for naval stores for the year ending
March, 1855, over the sum voted in the estimates, amounting
to £435,000. The sum voted for naval stores was £2,828,000 ;
but: there had been expended £3,264,000. The house had
given no authority for this additional expenditure, and he
called attention to the fact as one that required explanation,
and as deserving serious attention.
Sir C. WOOD would postpone his explanation until the
house was in committee of supply, when the first vote pro-
posed would be one for excess of expenditure over last year's
estimates. _

Mr. WILLIAMS suggested the expediency of postponing the
navy estimates until after the result of the forthcoming nego-
tiations at Paris was known, otherwise the country, in the
event of peace being made, would be saddled with a most
unnecessary expenditure. If the government, however, per-
severed, he would not oppose them, as he did not wish it to be
said that he had thrown any impediment in the way of car-
rying on the war.
The house went into committee of supply, when

Sir C. Wool), in a lengthened speech, moved the navy
estimates, commencing by giving a detailed explanation of the
causes which had led to the excess of expenditure over the sum
voted in the last year. He then proceeded to go over and to
explain minutely the whole of the votes comprised in the
estimates, in the course of which lie repeatedly assured the
house that the government had constantly kept both economy
and efficiency in view. The total sum required to be voted for
the service of the year 1856 to 1857, amounted to £12,148,641,
against £11,857,506 last year, showing a nett increase of
£291,135.
Admiral WALcoT, in reference to some observations of the
Hon. Baronet, concerning the retired list of Admirals, said he
had reason for complaint in not having been either decorated
or employed.
Sir C. WOOD explained.
Mr. BAILLIE trusted that the first opportunity would be
taken for increasing the remuneration of naval instructors.
Sir H. WILLOIIGIEBY called attention to an item of
£435,000, spent without the authority of the house.
