GREENWICH HOSPITAL.

The Duke of SOYEILSET, in replying to the Earl of
Hardwick*, said that in common, be was sore, with all
their lordships, he was anxious that the large funds of
Greenwich Hospital should be applied in the beat =neer
ter the benefit of their seamen. He had easefully con-
diced the report of the committee, and had previred a
neessorariduis, setting out the future destination of the
hospital, minoring it to the purpose of an infirmary. It
wsa aduated that as an infirmary this was a mast valuable
iestitutioo, worthy of the gewrastty and hberelity of the
actuary, and modal:Win the best possible mouser. llepro-
posed also I. retain the achoel, which was working so well It
was a great boon to the seamen to have a place where their
wee could have a useful aduoatioe, fitting them for the
navy or the merchant service, or any other situation of life
which they might be called upon to occupy. He further
✓eposed to keep a certain portion of the hospital, so that
se case of any great war we might have a hospital for our
maroon close to the water. With respect to the rest of the
lesild,og, how beat to use it was a question for further con-,
adoration. The great object of the plau was to lipcirtoil
priate, is the beet poseible manner, the surplus of 70,0001.
or 80,0001. for the encouragement of deserving seams..
But is doing that, a certain portion must be
eel aside to notify the claims of those who might fairly be
eeesidered as deserving odloen, sod b► that mesas he
thought they should be able to effect more good is the
hospital than had been accomplished in put years. He had
prepared a abort memorandum of the plan he proposed to
adopt, and if the noble earl wished it, Le should be happy
to lay it on the table.
After a few remarks from Lord COLCILOBII3I sod the Earl
Of SHREWSBURY,

The—Earl of HARl:mare replied.
The Earl of DERBY said he had understood the noble
duke to propose that a certain portion of the funds of the
hospital should be set apart for the purpose of rewardieg
persons who bad deserved well of their country. That
would be very desirable ; but he doubted the propriety of
appropriating funds which were origioaliy ieteeded for the
taiosenamte of persons who were absolutely incapacitated,
he the fonnatiou of a system of giving rewards.
The Doke of SOMERSET explained that in eelectiog
abject" for pensions they proposed to include that class of
200 a only who wculd be entitled to go into the hospital u
deserving seamen. Last year some 12,0001. had been de-
voted from the surplus fonds of the hospital to make pro-
visioo for the widows of tailors who had bees drowned in
the service.

After a few remarks from the Earl of HAinowsr, the die
emaioa came to a close, sad their lordships adjoareed at 20
