Me. WALP,Orsii•at feeder that a record of their pro-
seeding+ may 'w seemed es the jwaroals, 1 bog to men the
tellow log w ...eludes...That en the occasion of the public
funeral of Arthar, ineeDuke of Welliogtea, Mr. Spesker
he derated to attend on behalf of the house, and that the
hoes, do attend in the Cathedral Church of St. Paul's,
wtaere seats have been provided for them. (Heat, hear.)
The resolution was carried.
Mr. F. hUKENZIE then moved that the hones at its
rising do adjourn to Friday nest.
Mr. HUME Mee not to wake any objection to the
motion, but to suggest that as it wee very important the
report just read should be in the heads of members that
day, it should be ordered to be printed at once, without
waiting until it would be printed in due course with the
votes. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. SCOBELL wished also to make an observation before
the houseadjosarned. He did not intend tofind fault with the
order of proceediag which had been determined upon at
.01.1ellity, bet to ebseree that there ap-
tt.e . • 'min the sirangenteete which
Pealted ti him to be one oinue.-•
he was sure would strike the right n?'!. fles"..inan (Mr.
Walpole) the moment it Wee mentionen—that was, that
although provision had been pleatifally made for depute-
, tions from many public bodies—from the stogy, the Ord-
, mince, corparations and the univintitiee—to attend the
funeral, none had rations,
made for the attendance of any
deputation from the navy. (Rear, hear.) He did not
in•ntion the circumstance as a naval officer, and had hoped
that some gentleman more directly connected with that ser-
vice would have called attention to it, but that not having
been done, he referred to it, thinking it better to mention
the matter betemband, in order that some provision might
t be made if partible, rather than that complaints should
bebrought hereafter. (Hear.) It might be said that the
navy would be represented by the First Lord of the Admi-
ralty. But that functionary would go whether he were s
naval man or not. Then it might be said there were the
diff,rent grades of the order of the Bath, and that one of
each clam would be a naval man. But this was to represent
not the navy but the order of the Bath : sod beyond this
there wss no provision made for any representation of the
navy what This was the more to be regretted, inas-
much as when they looked at the brilliant achievements of
the great man whose memory they were about to honour,
they would tee that very many of his victories had been
gained in eonjanetion with our naval force. it was obvious
that the operations in Spain and Portugal, which gained
the Duke of Wellington so many well-earned laurels,
could not have been carried on without the co.
operation of the navy. The army and navy
were a united service, and should be so regarded. He
would venture to suggest, as the readiest, and probably the
only, triode by which (without occasioning inconvenience,
ereitig that the arrangements were all made) the difficulty
might be met, that the Board of Admiralty, who bsppened
to be all nasal men, should he considered as a deputation
representing( the envy. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. WALPOLE assured the hon. and gallant gentleman
that there was nothing further from the intention of those
who r, Related these proceedings than to treat that branch
of the defensive force of the country, which was the must
popular, and upon which in all periods of danger we so
contidentty relied, with anything like neglect or ir.atten-
non. (Hear, hear.) But the hon. and gallant member
would see that, though in the forthcoming procession it
wee considered necessary to represent by deputations the
different public bodies with which the late Duke of Welling-
ton had been directly connected during his life, bad this been
done in the same mustier in regard to all other bodies who
might consider themselves entitled to attend, the procession
would have extended to such a length that a winter's day
would not have been sufficient to enable them to get
through it. The navy, unuer the arrangements which had
been decided upon, would be fully represented, it was
thought, by the presence of the First Lord of the Ad.
gnira' ty, in addition to which, he could inform the hon. and
gallant gentleman, that 200 tickets had been placed at the
First Lord's disposed in order that the naval officers as well
as the military ufficers who wished to attend might have
the opportunity of doing so. Ile did not know of any other
arrangement that could have been made by which the navy
could have been better represented, except, perhaps, by
having another carriage in the procession tar four admirals ;
but on the whole, he was not sore that that would have
been a better or so satisfactory •an arrangement as that
which had been decided upon. At all events he could
assure the house that no disrespect had been intended to
that most important service. (Hear, hear.) •
Mr. W. MILNES observed that there were several
members of that house who were also members SI ens or
other of the services, and ss an order bad ism wet that
day from the Admiralty directing that all cagier effirtudiag
the funeral must appear in uniform, it WY cleavable then
it should be distinctly understood whether snob mesnbeee
mast appear in their military or their senatorial capacity—
gad also whether other members were to attend in official
er in plain dress ?
Mr. HUME hoped that the respect due to the house
would induce all members of the house to appear at the
Burma in that capacity, and not as military men—that
was, in plain black deem. The only alteration he intended
be make from his present dress weak be the addition of a
white neckcloth. (Laughter.) Ho hoped they would ill
appear in plain black, as being the dress most suitable to
the occasion. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. A. STAFFORD begged, on the part of the Admi-
ralty, to say, that in issuing the regulation which bad been
referred to, there had been no intention of preventing
members of that house, who were also members of the
naval profession, from appeasing in their uniform, if they
wished to do so.
Mr. HUME then moved that the report erkieh had been
read be printed sad delivered forthwith.
Agreed to.
The hoses then adjourned at three o'cloek, till Friday
nest.
