The Dire of SOMERSET said he thought their lordships
would agree with him that no one was better qualified than
the noble and learned lord who had just sat down to deal
with this subject (Meer, bear.) For his own part he was
not sorry the question had been brought under the conside-
ration of the house. This was not in any way a party
question—(hear)—it was a question of far greater importance
than the existence of any Brad of Admiralty. But he must
say that when he heard the noble and learned lard's
speech he almost fancied that he (the noble duke) had been
reducing the navy estimates largely this year, and cutting
down the expenditure from some motive of false economy.
Such, however, was not the car. He had, on the contrary,
added 100,0001. to the estimate, and completed an the
works the late governmeat hail in hard. The fact was,that
during the last eight months there had been more men em-
d in our dockyards than at any previous time in the
of this country. He would not even exclude the
• of the great war down to 1815, and he was
merely of the shipwright and shipbuilding
ent, to the exclusion of the factories.
They were now rather forward with ships of the line, although
es the noble and learned lord had said rather behind with
smaller vessels. The building, however, of the former had
been recently slackened whilst that of the latter had been
renamed. We had now afloat 50 ships of the line, sad 37
frigates, exclusive of blockships. He did not mess that
they were in the first-class of steam ordinary, as to have
them in that state would be most unwise. The moment
ships were closed up with steam engines on board, sad
ventilation was thus prevented, that moment wear and tear
began. The fleet was however in • state of great forward-
ness, and could in a very short time be prepared for active
service. The number of corvettes was 17, and these
with sloop, many of which were very powerful vessels,
made about 150 in all, to which must be added 160 pa-
rrs. The French had 33 sail of the line, and six or emlit
building, 38 frigates afloat, and 12 building, so that they
were ruperior to us in frigates, and he believed also to cor-
vettes. Their whole force was shoat 140 vesper The
noble and learned lord had alluded to • former time when
we had 30 sail of the line, which could speedny be got ready
for sea, but now we had 22 mil of the lir at sea, and more
fully manned too, than even were the ship ia the times to
which the noble and learned lord had alluded. He had in fact
recently augmented the complements of the ships, so that
there was nothing to be complained of on that wore. The
noble sod learned lord bad referred to the Syrian war, but
be (the Duke of Somerset) did not think that
the trite of that time bed ever been repeated,
and with respect to the Baltic and Black Sea
fleets they were both is a high state of efficiency before the
termination of the war. With respect to means of peeper-
Mica, he believed that the dockyards were never in ark a
rider state so at the present moment. He came now to
a more in, rtuut subject, namely, the men. The noble
sad lieaaed lord had said of what use were ships when
there were so men. Now, it ea happened that the Arai-
salty were in the very opposite diff culty, for during the
latter portion of the past year he found that he had greatly
exceeded the estimate indeed, by some truer&
Whoa the news of the disturbances in China our
home be said that lie could not reduce the vote,
so therefore he made up his mind to meet par
lament with an emcees. During three more he had
5,000 men more than the number voted. He thee took a
larger vote to cover his excess, and in order that such exam
should exist no longer he came to the resolution of
iag none but able seamen. With respect to the resernet
meaning commission had recommended that it should cou-
sin of 12,000 men. Of these the coast guard amounted to
3,000 men, with 239 officers. The district ships contained
2,594 men, and in addition to that the coasting cruisers had
827 men. Theme made the coast guard altogether—,
excluding eivilisr—to reach 6,862 men ; and whoa
the ride sad learned lord told their lordships that
these ships were of no use it should be remembered
that they had attached to them • number of gunboats, 14
or 15, which moved lord the soar and exercised the men.
The crews of these velar were in truth a most eerier
body, including 900 petty °Goers. To raise this force to
12,000 would be • great refertune, as the nervier, was a
great attraction to the 10 yearn' men, who, it the series
were flood would lose their opportunity.ready. The Nile, the

remember that the easseastile marine made large demands,
sad that wages were now extremely high at London, Liver-
pool, Bristol, Myrrh, and other porta. The naval
reserve writ to have been 2,00 D, but as yet he admitted that
it had made slow program Wry causes had, however,
retarded the scheme. There had been great difficulties in
framing the regulations, but at last they had been mu sr-
ranged that all which the sailor was obliged to read could
be put on one sheet of paper. It was true AIL they had sot
got am yet quite a thousand men, but thVicheme had
