arm of this men try, tor 'co so other nn we ml, in rlb
miry. What is its coalition? I believe we have at tide
moment • better navy than we have had for yam, bat It had
Ines by a most aserntibly tow condition. I en old
enough to have served upon • committee in the Hoar of
Common in 1817 end 1818, the object of which our to venti-
late the dinreet departments of government sad see net
cent be'desfe In the Merlon of expenditure. I remember
that wens we cumuto the navy ortimatet, Lord Cartersegh
.hkoself, and said he came at the request of Lad Winer us what tie views of the cabinet IMMO

He rid It down that at so period could thbi wimpy ever be

in mann it to its proper panne es a steam navy. Now
the navies of the two countries may be equal, but there is
ass port, I regret to state, in wish we are inner. I Mi-
llen that Fence cord maw put into the Channel • Imre
lieu la a shorter period of time, than It le in the pewee
Regland to do. Considers( the vast resources of tee
country, tae immense foreiga pemmican It has to defend.
our vast wealth at home, en our rest urination, I say
that Huy disaster were to be permitted to befall thie ormitry
by means of its navy, It would be the greatest diaper that
ever fell on any country la the history of the world. (Hear.)
I believe there in no effort that Hoglund I. not prepared to
make—there is no mann we wdald not submit to
—for the purpose of av eon a diermin
Oesaeder what would hymn if we bad en nosily babeoed
acne In the Channel. We might be invaded at every point,
and • large army might tete infield while we have each in-
adequate reonrces to meet It. (Hear.) Or even if our any
eustalned throw end defeat, It would not be necessary for
France be funds England. We would be tinny con-
quered. She raid blockade our pans; ape cool& prevent
the entrance of food or raw material. If she were mistress of
the Channel fora few menthe she would he mistress at half
the weer. Therefore It is that the Woman of the »pr-
uner should be brought to bear upon the representative, In
order that the Howe of Commons may see It is your desire
that the honour of the country should be pretend.
(Cheers.) Do not let it be sunned that I at all under-
value the volunteer inurement. I understand, on the
authority of the very beat Alum, thin who have had the
I.rrest experience, the; carried on es it is no., it anon fail to
render the most important services to government in the cam
of sudden danger arising. Tim volunteer artillery will enable
government to dispense with a nit number of troops in our
garrisons shut meet otherwise hove been detained; and I
believe that, even with the restricted discipline which ma
only be maintained by solitary companiee, yet that
connected with render troops, they might be made
available in a short time fur the most important
services. This is the opinion of Sir John Berwyn, •
person of the highest authority. But I hope that a good
deal more than thie may be done. We most have a
coosiderable increaser the army, or the militia must be made
more effective. There is no sufacient Tema why third con-
stitutional resource of the ballet, with a modification suiting
it to the altered circumstances of the counity,:may not still be
resorted to. I would suggest that an act of pediment should
direct the lord-lieutemmts and the deputy-nntenants to as-
semble yearly for the purpose 01 determining in which
parietal the ballot should take effect, and which perishes
should be exempted. I would have the latter parishes ea-
resed to their quota of men, and if they declined to raise
them by such means as they found available, 1 mold have
them mewed to each amount la money as a body of cocoon-
singes might horn I have mentioned this before, end
here never heard an objection to it. lam ondldent that in
the manufacturing hauler of Yorkshire, Lancashire, and
Staffordshire, the Moreton of some plan of this kind would
work well. (Haar) As to the permanent mimeo which
mast be incurred by the country for the purpose of putting
the army and navy on • good footing, I none the country
will be induced to look at the subject in the light which Lord
Lont, shedding on it the Ina rays of his lengthened
wisdom,
regarded it last renion--as en insurance for the pm-
• of protecting us from • unable neceesity, leered of
having to add, by a prolonged struggle, two or three hundred
millions to the national debt. (Clue re.)
