STEAM ENGINES.

Mr. M. A. Twy hots moved the Order of the
Dsy fur going into a Committee on the Steam
Engine Bill.
Mr. LITTLETON rose for the purpnee of request-
ing that the Hon. Gentleman would consent to
postpone the measure for u year or two. If it had
merit it must make its wad•, and if not, it should
not lie forced on the public. He should have no
great objection it it were confined to the metropo-
lis, but be sad in some parts of the country it
would be attended with the most serious inconveni-
ence. In the southern part 4.1 the county which
he had the I otiour to represent (Siatiorildoire), these
were 2.000 steam engines, which would all be
tile to be felony...l under tlsii new AO. Ile there-
fore hoped the Iltm. Gentleman would consent to
postpone it at Ira•t for another year, when they
shquld have no opportunity it briber it
were necessary ur advisatile to intooluce any enact-
melds. If he did not du so, be should move es ail
amend 111 rut that " the enactment should not ex-
tend to any smelting ores or ruiner."
Mr. JOON SMITH expressed a ai6ll that the
meaeure should be postponed.
Mr. CALVERT said he should support the mo.

Mr. Cult%lnk said he should support the mutirso
of his Host. Friend (Me. Taylos); lie had eo stestot
engines himself, and could speak from actual knoll s
ledge of its success.
Mr. M.. A. TaYLoR said it really did appear t..)
him that the question was misunders•ood by the.
linure. For what well the Is at 'sleben, ? Ac-
cording to the law as it now !tends any steam en-
gine can be prosecuted, if it should appear that :t
affected the health or comfort of the neighbour-
hotel. fie therefore introduced no lIMSV 1.1
many parts of the enmity the steam engisiss were
sach an anno3ance as to make stveral people By
their houses. The Bill only goes tb enable a
Court of Jitatice to remunerate I prosecutor for
any injury he may 'swan' if the Jury 818°0.1
dud the steam engine a nuisance: to Man-
chester, Glasgow, a.,d the other large towns,
the consequences of these enmities are quite
evident. At one time Ise (Mr. Taylos) was cells'.
dered us doing an essential piece of service. he
we. looked upon as the saviour of the health of the
poor and rich, and the protector of their happiness;
but now, nuked, he was looked spots as the most
indiscreet animal that ever existed —(taagkier.)—
He submitted the question to the discretion of
the tious., and he hoped they would do him the
honour of aupportitig his motion. As fur the Hot..
Gentleman (Mr. Buxton), he would say it was
easy to account for the &dare of his engine, for
lie bud employed a most clumsy engineer.—(4
laugh.)
General ISASCOMNIt read a letter from his con-
stituents in Liverpool, requesting him to interfete
to have the measure rostpoiled.
Mr. PHILLIPS expiessed a hope that the mea-
sure would he postponed.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY suggested that
it would be advisable to postpone the eunsiderettioo
of the question to some other slight. This was
one of the days allotted for the consideration of the
Committee of Supply, and the question was not
likely to come to a speedy termination.
Mr. M. A. TAYLOR said, he was most willing to
attend to the suggestion.
Mr. LITTLYTON said, he had no objection, but
on the third reading he should move his clause us
• rider.
Mr. CA /VERT wished to ask the lion. Gentle-
man (Mr. Buxton) whether he had employed Mr:
Parkes in the construction of his engine, or some
person who hat) counterfeited his name ?
Mr. BUXTON should like to know srlie,her the
House were to legislate on the condition that Mr.
Parkes should be the sole contriver of those ma-
chines ?

.... .
Mr. CALVERT observed, that it was on the p'aa
of Mr. ('asks. the (loose had originally proceeded,
and if the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Buxton) were to
employ him, he would engage he would make the
etsgme complete.
Mr. MARRYATT saw no reason why the House
should decline going into a Committee. Re odd
that in various places persons were liable to be an-
noyed by steam engiues in all directions, east, west.
north, or south. according as the wind blew ; he
should therefore support the proposition fur goiog
into a Committer.
Mr. Alderman NVoon rove amidst vies of
" Question !" He said he should object to the
measure extending beyond the metropolis.
The Gallery was then cleared for • division ou
Mr. BUXTON'S amendment. The !towhees were—

MARCH OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY.
lie Marquis of LON DON D 6111111' 111 bane{ to move
the Order of the Day that the House should re-
solve i'self into u Committee of Supply, said he felt
it his duty to glee 1111 answer to a pleatilOn that had
been put to host tin reformer occwoon, with respect
to the !tu•■iun arty. He could now wale watts
certaint3, that, in isointof fact, the Rawls(' army
were not to pass their own boundary.— ( Hear, hear.)
This he felt it his duty to state, us much for the
satisfaction of the House and the conotry, as in
justice to those two great Power", who, he niu►t say.

had" been most illiberally treated. When gentle-
men thi ik 6t to get np in that 1-lonse, and in the
absence of all information, to charge these high
Powers with a spirit of aggrandisement, he felt him-
' ...elf called upon to uy, that, from every thing which
'had come to his knowledge, he saw no foundalon

Wed that they were to have avoisted the King of
ICrtfitiie in the protection of hia kingdom. The
ifuniiniona of that Soverei4n had been left in an
ihiecure state as to the furies; which had been re-
dared considerably, becaoie former circurnetances
had made it necessary to disband the greater part
of the troop's. In the late critical juncture of
his affairs, the King of Sardinia had applied
1,1 A °atria fur succours, to which request the
E.np-ror replied, that., borever amour he
might he to comply as be felt that' there
was a common interest its tile question, he was
afraid tliat any steps which could be taken by
him would bring upon his Government the imputa-
lion of a desre for aggrandizement. lie therefore
earnestly entreated the Kiug of Sardinia to apply to
hi. ally the Emperor of Russia, and endeavour to
persuade him from giving the counter-order in-
trn4ed, fur the march of his troop., and to allow a
renal' force at I..ast to come down to execute the

service which he had fur them. The Emperor of
Rosvia complied, though reluctantly, because he
dreaded the tmputation of agsraudisement to which
ouch a movement was lik.ly to subject him. It was
discovered, however, is time, that the force already
employed would he sufficient for the purpose of
doing that service. and hence the order to stop the
march of the Russian corps altogether. Ile dented
that there was an improper or partial motive to be
discovered in these transactions. He could not see
any thing iu the conduct of either of the Emperors
'to induce any man to suppose that the Russian
troops were wanted to act in Spain. or to justify
any of these charges now made against those Illus-
trious Potentates—charges which were as ground-
less as any of those which hell been so abundantly
'and confidently stated on the other side, notwith-
silo:ding their frequent d•sproval. Ile concluded
by moving, That the Order of the Day for the
Morse resolving itself into a Committee of Supply

Lord Itltt.Tore remarked. on. the great satisfac-
tion which the answer•of IltekNohlts Marquis must
give to the House and the country. He.eould not

reigns, as to their trensactions with, or treatmeirt of
neiglibtinring States. He asserted the right of the
Haase to enter upon such inquiries whenever they
Saw 'occasion. The Noble Marqu;s had maintained
Cot there Was ire disposition to aggrancdeetnent
strewn in the transactions alluded to. There were
two tents of aggrandizement—that of Stews among
one another, and that or States in themselves,
ashen the power oT the Same aggrandized itself
• et the expense of the tights of the people.
He was not sure that the latter was not the spirit
hi which the Xing of Sardinia had acted, sod bud
+seen alsettecl. The Stuarts, when driven frosts this
Country, were condemned, together with the Freud.

lie could not conceive that dues of all less ohjection-
aide in the King of Sardinia to have calit-I in fo-
ieign troops to arbitrate between him and his sab-
jects. His 'Lordship connected these proceedings
*ids the 'Wilted promises of free constitutions,
which had been made to must of the Sates of Europe
during the war.
Mr. E.W A nag said, thet the stopping of thernareli
of the Russian troops could not be regarded iu
any other light by the House, than as an abstain-
in4 from violence arid crime. God be thanked
there was 'ate corner of Eorope still left open,
where the conduct of Sovereigns might be scanned
With impunity, and denonnced if unjustifieble—
or woe would be to the liberties of Europe 1.
—the
'degradation of its 'people would be instant and
coistolete.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY again denied
that there was any thing in the conduct of Russia
:yid Austria to warrant the imputations thrown upon
them. He would not be bound for the conduct of
'any roan; but he felt sure that the Emperor of
•Ruisia too well understood his own true glory to
'entertain any notions of aggrandizement like those
'which were charged to him.
Mr. Disuse repelled the charge of acting tin-
.juetly and illiberally, made against his Ilotioura-
We .Firieirds., Aftet what the House had seen of else
event/Icl if the European Powers with respect to
tirway. Poland. Seaway. and Genoa ; alter the
invasion of Naples and the denunciation of the
7Stiosiish revolutien, it was not very wonderful that
't re'y should suppose Russia intended to counteract
the Spanish revolution. If the Noble Marquis was
inseusible to the importance of the subject, it was
stso reason for preventing those Members of that
Hati.e, who did feel it, from lifting up their meta
loudly and imperatively against so monstrous as.
'llikeression of the rights of u free people. The li-
Veiti!is of this country, as well is Europe, de-
pended upon their doing so.

COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.
Vole Ilk, SirsAlm lett the Chair,
r Huns wished to 'ask a question or two re-
specting the public winkle going on at SherrAess
feud the other dock-yards. As'so the work. at sheer.
Dees, he understood that there were groat-doubts in
the •deportnierits whether it would be politic to go

ther they would have any objection to postpone the

• irltelritiiting the erionifys application of 9,0i.8,313k
•to public works; recefflasettiled Chit ,none of than
ithotdd in future be w,tder takpu without s fully dvtat:-

ed and perfect estimate of the whole bei
oat. He thought the sitorstiota of the
ticularly deminded their observance o
tiotyln looking over "the estimates I
this re2t work at Sheerness had, in th

beeaestintated at 824,9921. It lintl dotTered

year. In
.1818 the amount waisted to complete it
was stated at 433,800/. In 1821, therefore, there
had been expended more than 1047.0001. upon
the works of Sheerness alone. The-new estimates

required. exclusively fur the new works, 955,421/.,
which with theother sums would amount to 2,102,4 i 1 1
fur public works in one dock-yard alone. He thought
that they could not justly- vote these sums without
farther information. He would propose that a Com-
mittee should inquire if it would be proper to pro-
ceed with these works, or stop them.
Sir G. ‘VARRENDILR said. that the new works
were not the same upon which the slims mentioned
•by the Hon. Member had been expended. 'there
had, at one time, been a doubt with Government
as to the propriety of 'keeping a dock-yurd at Sheer-
ness ; that doubt had been resolved. The works
in question had been undertaken, and were an near
completion, that they would take about 30,000/. less
than the proposed rattan ate, which sum would be
.applied to the repair of she old works. The opinions
of the best engineers were agreed, that the works
would be efficiemt fur their purpose, and they were
slowest awe of being completed at the close of the
present sear.
Mr. E. WARRE expressed his surpr'se at the pro-
posed grant, seeing that there WWI stated is the
estimAtes fur 1820, an item el 171,1631. for the
completion of these works, which now required
more than 900,000/. for their completion.
Sir It. MARTIN said a few words.
Mr. !hue then moved—

"That, therefore, seder tomb varying and aneertaiin Esti-

Ile would state his reasons for doing this. In
1830, exclusive of the item mentioned by his 800.
Friend, there were 200,0001. voted for the repair
and completion of other works of the same kind.—
They were accused of attempting trifling
titans, while they left the larger sums untouched.
He owned that it had been the case with the Kremer
part of the army estiniatts ; but here wawa ease of
much greater, import mate.- These were, be.ttles

After the notoriety of the feet that the walks at
Chatham and Dover had consumed so touch more
money than was ever reckoned, and the recoils-
turiadatioos made by the Finance ComMittee there-
upon, was there stay man so dead to the necessity
of economy as to nsaintrio that they gould with
propriety vute these stew estimates, which, taken
with the sums laid out in the some way since 1810,
amounted to 5,447.000/. Without more information
ismt certainty as to the orcessity bur the money ?
Ile did not require toe works to be *tipped, be
only wished a Committee to be assured whether or
not the works ought tin go on. Ile concluded by
mosinr,ce as before stated.
Sir GeottGe CO KBURN explained the nature sal
the works, the state of their advancement, their
usefulness, and the impossibility of putting an its.
mediate stop to them ent:l the wall which was to
keep ont the sea could be completed, after which
the work might be stopped immediately.
Sir J, YORKE expatiated ou the superiority of
Sheerness harbour, which, wish a large expanse of
watere, retained 52 feet in depth at low Water, and
eould rontaiit upwards of 100 linesof-battle ships.
tie explained the necessity there was for keeping a
large naval estab!islintent at Sheerness to command
the Northern Seas. from which there had been the
mast Immediate clanger of attack • anal dread of in-
vasion while Brimstone's fleet were at Antwerp.
Sir I. COFFIN recommended les Hon. Friend,
the Wernher fur Aberdeen, to give lawselt ocular
slennistr.ition of the extent and importmee of the
Sheerness works.

Mr. 11. G. I:SPINETT said that the intention of
Lis Hoii. Friend kid been mistaken. Ile did nut
wish the works to Le stopped. But as the Iluuse,
snider the ablest counsel, had been .o frequently
deceived as to the awfulness of public works to
which great stints df Money had hien applied, he
only wished them to Satisfy themselves of the ne-
cessity fur laying out No large au additional sum
at • time wit. ti the diets-cobra of tl.e country r.-
quirci the etricte-t 'Youths/.
Sir G. etoccaosit sesiti tti.t die works could not
stop without a total Lee of 01l the expeosts which
had been Isid out upon them.
Sir GEORGE WARIENDZIL 'itemised details of
the items. and,the reasons far 'revering them, to tne
Committee. The plan had loins alletrd final time
to time, as he had informed the Haute ye pu.st occa-
sions. At first it was only designed that these
works should extend to the ducking and preserva-
tion of frigates; since which it had been found ad-
visable to ruultp them it lor this reception of shape
of the lure.

Sir W. olt CRESPIONY soid a few word 9.
Mr. thug replud. Nr thsl •uot widi even to

Mr. BERNAL, said if the Russian ships could be
victualled without the expense, in 1816, be could
not see the necessity of it at present.
Sir GEO. COCKBURN stated that every ship in
commission had a Purser, who took charge of the
provisions and accounted to the Victualling-office,
but the ships in ordinary had but one Purser to
them all, and he was stationed on board the Ceres.
Sir I. Corpus said, if ■ boat was to go down
with provisions from Chatham to Sheerness, it
would often happen that neither boat nor provisions
would return.

Sir J. S. Youtica wished to know the reason for
an increase from last year, in the charge for Dept-
ford 'Victualling-yard.
Sir G. CLERK said, the increase had been in re-
pairs of the roofs of the storm
Sir G. COCKBURN and Sir J. S. Yostla ex-
planted.
Mr. lIUMR asked if there was any intention of
making any rerinctions in the Depford
Victurlliog-
hard ? He took occasiort also to oberve on the
igher salaries enjoyed by the clerks in the dock-
yards, as compared with the victualling-yards, fur
which lw could see no gond reason.
Sir G. Cocasurta said, every *eduction would
take place that was practicable, but there were but
little hope of reducing any of the clerks at Dept-
turd, but expected that in the other yards; reduc-
tion wuuld take place.

Mr. WASIK eked whether the yard at Dover
was intended to be kept on for the revenue vessels?
Sir GEO. COCKBURN said there were buildings
there, a brewery, and a large ►to( k of corky, end as
the toaster brewer from iris length of servire must,
if ►uperannuated, restre on his full salary, it was
thought ■s well in point of economy, to have the
benclit of his services.

After a few words from Mr. Hums the resolution
was %reed to.
70,962/. 4... GI. was awe voted for the Medicitl
&labiletonna. after u few observations from Mr.
Ilusts and Sir Gv.ortmi COCKBURN.
Sir Gronue CLRa Riovetphal 6.3261. 18.. Gil.
be granted fur the Royal Sind College and School
of Alcloiecture.
Sir J. YORKE observed on the probability of the
abilities which were fostered by this istablislisneut
being 'turned against ii. by the students ruln3itied
at tins school entering iatolOreign rervicv, and wish-
ed to knew if there was any inteution of reducing
the number of students.

Sir 1. COTIFIN said, no foreign Power, either
European or A:twit:am would accept of ship-
builders from England, at,they had better ship.
builders of their own, as every ship which had been
taken would prove.
Sir Geo. COCRISURN gild, there was no inten-
tion of :educing the number of students.
The Resolution was them agreed to.
it was then moved, that .149,795/. be granted
for wages of 'nen and ship•keepers in ordinary.
Mr. HURL wished to ask as to the expense of
the yachts; lie understood it had been very con-
siderable of Lite. lie knew that vessels far the
use of his Majesty lomat of necessity incur sonic
elan: expense, but still there wan a limit. 'Fite
eopeeise fur Surgeons alone cost 1,3001. o year ;
whether the other Officers were also continued Coll
pay he could pot tell. Certainly a great
saving might be effected.
Sir G. COCIIIIJRN s'aid that wires the Sovereign
of these Islands went afloat, it well proper that Ire
should go with the state fitting hi. high dignity,
and lie was sure the (louse would out begrudge so
necessary en expenditure. The Surgeons received.
the apponnineirt as a reward, being old Surgeons,
and the difference between the holf pay am: the
full pay being very trifling.
Mr..ffulte said what he desired to knew was,
whether all the Officers of the yachts were on fall
pay as well as the Surgeons?
Sir Ceo. COCKBURN saidthe e
and Surgeons were ou full pay.
Sir J. S. YORKE wished to be informed of the cos
cosion of the increase on this brad of charge. Were
there more ships iii ordinary now than last year ?
Sir Ilesist MARTIN said the iircreose wax
Dccc-
sinned by au ailluaan•e of two shillings a day to the
Warrant Officer. for lodging and provisions, the
saving would appear in the victualling.
The Resolution WWI then agreed to.
t 13,1401. 3s. Id. was granted fur victualling the
Or nary.
After a few observations from Sir J. YORKE end
Sir U. MARTIN, 79,0004 was granted for Harbour
Ititioring and Rigging.
On its being diuved7flett 310,000/. be grouted
fur the repair of Ships its Ordinary—
Sir 3. YORKE rose to express his surprise at the
sum being of the same magnitude as last year.
Sir 1. Conlin observed on the had quality of
some of the bliips a Inch had been built in the
mere bouts' yards during the war, anti the necessity
there 444 for kitting the chips i.n au efficient state.
Sir Jos. Vottos denied the aseertioes which his
Hon. and Gallaut Friend had matte, that no fo-
teign Power would accept of shipwrights from
England. His lion. Friend could slot have looked
at the estimate, or he would have forborne the re-
marks which he lied made.

-53!: 11. MsoTtn said this charge was to keep up
ilk repairs of the whole of the miry, including the
animal prinmee of the slaps.
Sari. Yo#txtt said he did not Pee what was the
use cf giittig rewards to ingenious men for nii-
provements, if there was to be no saving of expense..
Sir I. COFFIN said, that although his Hun.
Fr.tail had detuvd his assertion, )et he himself,
when his relative was ut the head of the Admiralty,
had preferred a Danish ship takers at Copeultagen
to tlw whole of the Ltritisli navy.
Sir Jos. Yuan s said hirliou. and Gallant Fiiend
was mistaken, lie had no ship whilst his (Sir J.
Yorke's) brother was at. the Admiralty, it was to
Lord Mulgravir's kindness thin he owed the ship lie
alluded to, but he hid not picked her.
Alter a few words from Mr. HrSIE and Mr.
Itosan, the Resolution was .greed to,

'00,400i. was then moved for half-pay of officers.
Mr. BENNRTT stated the "case of
the wives of officers in the service, oho were in- '
sane, and who were iii the Naval Lunatic Asylum
at Nestor. These two ladies, after receiving the
half-pay of the two unfortunate officers for eight or
nine years, under a power of attorney, wanted by
the unfortunwe suff,•rers before their insanity, and
the Admiralty in 1819, without any previous no-
tice, bad stopped one half the half-pay, oral placed
the two families of these individuals in a state of
absolute penury.
Sir G. Cocsauam said, the general principle on
which the Adminilty were governed in unfortunate
cases like those alluded to by the Hon. Gentle-
man was this—where the family of the sufferers took
care of them, the whole of the half-pay wits paid ;
hut where the Government afforded an asylum, ooe
half of the half-pay was retained.
Sir J. NEWPORT howl! that something would
be done fur the too individuals who bud suffered
under the operation of the general piiuciple laid
down by the Board of Admiralty.
Mr. BUXTON said, that he knew one of these
persons was, by the sudden deprivation of the 'say,
reduced to the greate,t distress.
Mr. CROMER raid, the Boatil of Admiralty were
not aware that the two insane officers had, before
their insanity. given a power two persona to re-
ceive their half-pay. Notwithstanding it was the
opinion of lawyers, that if an insole alicer %ere to
recover his senses, be could maintain an action fur
the whole of his half-pay during his Warn ; yet
the Board in a case of such calaini y rid as il-
legal charity, in giving half the half-pay to relatives
of insane officers.
Mr. Beilivcre said, the question was, whether
officers who lost their reason in the service of their
country should he put on the same footing as those
who had lost their limbs? If the lIURI4C/ were ever
so great it migibt to be dose ; yet here there were
only two officers in that rizustiuti, at.d the expense
would only he 1161.
After some further diskussion, in which Mr.
Croker, Lord Milton. Mr. itaston, Sir J. Yoskc.
Mr. Hume, and Sir G. Warretider participated, time
converrat ion dropped.
Mr. Hume made some observation on the in.
crease tb the already lung hat of Lieutenants on
half-pitY.
Sir U. COCRBIIIRN said, only twelve passed mid.
shipmen had heel promoted on the occasion of
his Majesty'. secession.
Mr. Hume said, that a number Itud•been pro-
moted since then.

Sir G.tocitatiatt said, that it smiallowd to
Admirals also hod been three yraresiis s Amigos
station, to name .an officer for prom/ism.
Mr. CROKER said, that not a sin gie viirsviretson
had been brought into the Royal Marines since the
peace. Every vacancy bad been filled up from the
halt:pay list, but that reserve must begin to give
way. The senior Lieutenant was of 18 years stand-
ing, and in future it would be necribiry that one
in tb►er vaeaucies ►hould be filled up by a young
man.

Colonel DAMES "Sid, his proposition for filling
orb hell of the commissions of the army front
the half-pay, wet received the uthe► night with the
greatest contempt ; yet be could not see why the
same sort of regulation should not he adopted by
the Secretary at War as had been etu►ounced to be
the inteninni of the Admiralty to put in force.
Mr. Caosza explained.
Mr. HUME *Sid, the promotions in the army,
with a view to ecouonoy, ought to be filled tin by
his Majesty's Minitel, marl not by tl►e Com-
inander-in-Cliief.

After a few words from Mr. Foopes and Sir
GZORGE COCIITURN, the Resolution was agreed to.
The rum of 142,001. 13s. 3d. was thew voted for
Siiperannuations, Pensions, and Allowances; and
1,5001. for bounty to Chaplains.
On the motion for 7,000!. for the Widows and
Orphans on the Compassionate List—
Mr. HARBORD wished to knew by what rote and
in what manner the pensions oo this list were granted.
He applied for this information, bemuse he had
heard of a case of • widow of u Marine Off►cer,
who, for some reason which we could not collect,
tau appl►cation fur some part►cular fund to which
her children were entitled, having been refused, had
been threatened with having tit to struck •ff the
fund.

Mr. CROILER said he felt 10 a lo•a for an answer,
from lint ezacily understanding the statement of
the Hop. Member. Hr understood the complaint of
the widow to be, that her children were not on the
bat to which they were collided, and afterwards that
they were threatened to be struck off the list ; now
this moo at least an appall/It ineowaitency which he
did not know how to reconcile. The Compassionate
List was not a matter of right. The pensions on it
were not paid out of stoppages from officers' pay,
but out of a provision voted by Parliament,
as now proposed. The sum granted by Parlia-
ment was apportioned by the Foal. Lord of the
Admiralty, according to his discretion, on a com-
parison of the claims of the applicants as set forth
in their statements, and borne out by IlatibrillelOtri
proof on iuquiry ; and lie was happy to have it in
his power to bear his humble testimony to the at-
triitiou of the Noble Lord to this subject, and to
the impartiality with which he made the selection.
Sir J. Youis and Sir G. WARRENDEIt, each
said a few words which we could mot collect.

Mr. FlAisonu said, the statement of the widow
might have alluded in one case to the Widows'
Fund, and in the other to the Compassionate List.
He wished to know whether the widow of a Marine
Officer was not entitled to have her children ad-
mitted into the school at Greenwich Hospital.
Mr. CROKEa said that the children were eligi-
ble for admission to the school at Greenwich, but
that it was not a matter of right. 11 it were a
right, of course the number would be unli-
mited ; but the number was only •500, they trete
therefore necessarily selected, osid‘it would often
naturally occur that the pumas who were disap-
pointed r would -complain of hardship. The pen-
sions from the Widesse Fund were minter of right,
and therefoie that Fund coald, taut he the ground
of complaint in the case alluded to; the Ceara.-
mistime List was apportioned bviselection, and it was
not unlikely that a disappointed claimant, who was
perhaps not collect ly itiluitned of its nature, should
complain.
Sir F. OMMAIIXEY said a ire weeds on the

table administr•ttion of the pensions, and the mo•
tion was then agreed In.
On the motion for 32,000/. to make poll the de-
ficiency of the fund for the Pei's; of Widows of
Commi,sion and Warrant Officers—

Mr. HUME naked for some explanation as to the
estahlittuttent of it secretary to this -fluid, sod ow
u.sistanr, with salaries smoutripg to 300/. e year,
w birth did hot formerly exist.
Mr. Curium' 'viol there tilts tilts imly salaries
which had not been increased since 1733. They
were formerly paid out if the proceeds of the pale
of old stores, but he thought it would he more e•nn=
!lenient that they should be regularly provided rite
by a vote of the House, and inserted them in the
E•tiniares in 1817, since which time they hid hew
regularly so provided for.
Mr. flusic said, his reason for asking tht qurs'
lion was, that he had i.ot found ant• mention I,V
their intentions pres:ous to Is i 7. lie agracti .144
the Hon. Gentleman, that It was better that merit
person so employed should be pruvitled fur by a

trolley was well earned. There were, however, of:-

sideration, and lie hoped the Hum. Gentleman
would produce • copy of the letter of Mr. Ruse,
when 'rreasurer of the Navy, recommending that
those offices should be t►ausferred to the Navy

Mr. CMOILER assured the Committee that the
errangrinetst alluded to, so fir fruit► a saving, would'
unavoidably he atteitiltd with an additional rx,
pease to the country, es he should he prepared tor

tiaval ufneers, formerly employed In the naval de-,

they received larger incomes than any allowance

This was a system which had betu secoaimentlect
fur revision, add he wished to ktioe how hr that
recommendation had been momplird with?
Alter a few words from Sir GEORGE WAR..
RENDER and Mr. R. WARD, the ItiOltalou was
withdrawn for the-present.
Sir G. W•aassinea then moved a Itesolatio.s
for granting 1,519,000/. to the buildiag, srhuild-
nig, sod repairs' of ships of war, and the comple-
tion of works in the dock-yards. The Honourable
Baronet was proceeding to point the attention of
the Committee to the natureof some of those works,
when

Sir JosErg Yoang rose to 'peak to order. The
estimates might to be discussed point by point, snit
he did nut uiederstand how the works iu the yards,
which were composed of gianite and mortar, came
to be mixed up with the wooden wuiks of ship-
building.
Sir 6. WA RRENDER 'stressed his surprise Its

ralty with him, during the is hole of which time

jemion was entertaiiied which he had not anticipa
ted, he would put them separately, and more at
present e grant of 1,094,5801. for she building,
and repairs of ships.
Sir J. YORNI rxprrs•ed his torprile diet this
estiniute had not been diminished in a proportion
corresponding with the dinithution in the sages
paid for labour, which lied been reduced nearly
one fifth.

Sir T. D. MARTIN said, the supplies of timber
bad been contracted for up to the next jear, and
it was therefore itoptissible to reduce the expense et
that article iisitd that contract had been linirlitd.
Mr. Hume said, that since the lot of January,

LON DON,
' -11v'" TUESDAY, 111Ay 8. 1821.
4 "V 1/:

The Marquis of LONDOODERRY look an oppor-
tunity last night in the House of Commons to sup-
ply the deficiency iu his answer to Mr. titiventu-
Ors motion respecting the state of the Continent.
flis Lordship stated, that the King of SARDINIA
hiving spplted to Austria for her support, the lat-
ter, feszlidilsist an unworthy motive might be at-
hleticd to her interference, referred his Msjesty to
use Emperor of Russia. The result was, the order
for the Ressian trouts to halt—intended, we pre-
*time, upon the sooliii 4r the Austrian arms In
Italy—was countermanded, and they continued to
advance. It was wren, however, discovered, that the
(once already in Piedmont was sufficient for the
Ding of 841118.111A.8 purpose, rod an order was
,ssued to stop the march of the Russian troops at.
together, in consequence of which, his Lordship
said, lie is enabled to state with certainty, that the
Russian artni was not to pas its own-boundary.
11 His Lordship added, that he could not see any
thing in the conduct of either of the Emperors of
AusratZ-or Russia to•iuduce a supposition that.
the Russian troops were wanted to act in Spain,
a supposition which Ire considered perfectly ground-
less, and un illiberal reflection upon these two great
fusers. We congratulate the country upon this
disavowal, by his Lordship, of any hostile intention
on the part of Austria and Rus.ia towards the
Spanish► Peninsula. Had it been made when re-
quired by Mr. flutcutoson's motion, it would have
removed the doubts which his Lordship's unsatis-
factory answer was calculated to rucounsge.

At a late boar last night we received Paris Papers
of Thursday, Friday, mid Situ►day last. " The
Congress of Lsybach," rays an art ide from Vienna,
dated the 23d of April, " has long since tenni-
listed its operation., but the continued residence, of
the two Emperors in the town, and the presence of
• great number of Members of the Diplomatic
Body, gave the appearance of its being still in
permanence. The moment approaches of its com-
plete dissolution, and the two Monarchs will return
to Vienna before the end of the month of April."
The decided success of the tnilitavy operations of
the Allies in Italy, and the suppression of the re-
volutions in Naples and Piedmont, hare in-
duced the Emperor of Russia to suspend the
march of his troops. His Majesty purposes
to maintain a strong force on the frontiers of his
empire, to be available against future emergencies.
In our extracts from the Paris Paperi will be
found a copy of a Proclamation, addressed by
Ttixonoae WLanemtsaton to the iultabitants of
Bucharest, which throws some light upon the ob-
jects of the insurrection in %Vullachia and Molda-
via, and of the means of the insurgents to effect
- The --fervid& foe the

tinople, and that they rid their lives dearly. No
date is given Wilhelm pretended letters.
The intelligence rum Madrid contained in these
Papers is of the 44th of last mouth. The evils'
ersjoys profound tranquillity, but there are rumours
of some angry disputes, and even of slight skir.
Wadies, between bodies of armed men in various
ports of the country. They do not, however, seem
to threaten any important consequences.

Private letters have been received in town from
Odessa, dated the 6,1) of April, and ficim Constan-
tinople to the Ist of the tame month. From these
letters we find thSt the Turkish Government are
adopting such " vigorous measures" to suppress the
Greek insurrection as might be expected from the
enlightened and liberal Statesmen who compose the
Divan. Two Greeks, charged with being spies,
though how such a character could well be ascribed
to persons of that nation found in Constantinople
one cannot easily imeginr, were executed as such
on the 30th of March; but on the 31st of March
the Porte evinced the fulness of its energy and
vigour by straugling three Bishops of the Greek
Church ! If so liberal an use of the bow-string
cannot suppress the insurrection of the Greeks, the
case must indeed be desperate, fur as a remedy
against treason, or more frequently against the sus-
piciou of treason, the bow-string bus hitherto proved
infallible. The writers of the letters from Constan-
tinople assert that the insurrection has not excited
fears in Curistantinople for the result. Such an ex-
, prevision conveys no definite meaning. The inha-
bitants of Constantinople generally possess a kind
of constitutional apathy, the result, no doubt, of
the great principle of their• religion, from which
they seldom suffer themselves to be roused by the
consideration of passing events, soci..l or political.
It is therefore probable that those who witness
the first attacks of the plague in their own persons
with stoical indaffeienee, or the conflagration of
their homes as an orcurrence not to be pre-
vented, lest in checking the flames they mighttre•
guilty of opposing themselves to the inscrutable de-
signs of Providence, look now with Wiliness sod
tranquillity upon the insurrection of the Greeks as
an event flowing from the will of /leaven, and with
regard to which they ought to resist the impres-
sions of hope or fear. Besides, what matters it to
a horde of slaves whether the power of their Mo-
narch is bounded by the Danube, or extends bee
reel it; whether Itumelia be the limit of his em-
pire in Europe, or whether the despotic Pacha of
some more distant province recognise by some ill-
paid tribute his half-doubtfal tovereignty. The
ass betiding beneath his limiler; yet impelled by•
stripes, can entertain nail Awe about the change
of his master. But if it he'lls'serted that the Divan
and the SULTAN felt oo fears for the result, we can-
not believe it ; for in displaying from the Mosque
of St. Sophia the ntost•aacred ensigns of Islamism,
more especially the standard of Malwinet, they
have.proved the extremity of their fears, and the
necessity they felt of exciting the utmost energies or
their people, and all the strength of their religi.
ous enthusiasm to oppose a danger which they must
have considered formidable. . .
The Russian Ambassador is mild to have arrived
in Constantinople film his country residence, on
the 30th of Merck, when he had interviews with
the Chief of the Turkish Ministers. Of the pur-
port of these interviews there is uo intimation.
The Dutch Papers contain some article, of intel-
ligence respecting Turkey, which intimate that mi.
litary preparations are in progress, but although-
we learn that the streets of Constantinople are lull
of soldiers, we do not find that any considernble
farce is immediately applicable fur the service of
opposing Prince YPSILANTI. The Patriarch of
the Greek Church his been compelled to exhort
his Bishops sod Ins countrymen In general to loy-
alty and fidelity to Use Porte, and to issue an aria-
thenia against YPSILASITI, Same°, and their adhe-
rent,. The Porte hate by en Imperial Firmaun,
denounced them as traitors.
We here copied Irvin the Beds Mercury a return
or the stote of the Woolleu Manufacture of the
West Riding of Yorkshire. From this return it
appears that the woollen goods manufactured
durtir,, the past year exceeds the quantity of the
preceding year to the summit of 33,021 pieces,.
making 1.116,519 yards. It is proper, however, to

Yesterday the Anniversary Meeting of the Port
of London Society for diffu.itig Religious Instruc•
lion amongst Seamen, was held at the City of Lon-
doll Tavern, the Right Hon. Admiral Lord Gam-
b►er in the Chair. The Meeting was numerous
and highly respectable, there were a cosisiderab:r
number of seamen Kuehl.
The Secretary read the Report, which mentioned
many iiiterestiagireo connected with the Society.
lu October last Baron Just, Ambassador front the
King of Saxony, visited the Floating Chapel, and
having expressed his approbation of the Establish-
ment, he said he had It in command to give a sub-
scription of 251. from his Saxon Majesty, and to
express that Monarch's interest in the views of the
Society.—(Hear./—Mr. Ackermann, who attended
w.th his Excellency, also paid two subscriptions
transmitted to him from Germany. In Holland,
too, and other parts of the Continent, the greatest
interest was Nit in the proceedings of the Society,
and Dutch seamen were often teen among the
congregation on board the Flouting Chapel. It
hail been found highly useful and Important to dis-
tribbte the Religious Tracts amongst seainhi;
and in this the Society had received great assist-
ance from the Religious Tract Society. The Re,-
port proceeded to state the.establisliment of similar
Societies at Hull, Liverpool,
.and other British
ports ; and at New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
&c., in America.—( Hear, hear.)—The Commit-
tee had been enabled; since last Anniversary, to
liquidate 3001. of a debt of 5001. which had been
borrowed fur the use of the Society, and they
hoped, by this day's awl to-morrow's Meetings,
to pay the whole remaining tom. The Report
concluded with urging those interested in the views
of the Society to exert themselves to procure new
subscriptions, and to do every thing in their power
to forward its interests.

The Report was received throughout with much
applause, and agreed to toisnimously.
The Rey. ROWLAND HILL addressed the Meet-
ing at great length with much effect, and com-
bated the opinion which he said had grille abroad,
that the promotion of religion ammo seamen
would tend to diminish their courage.
A string of Remototioas were then entered into,
after many very effective speeches had been made
by. the Hon. and Rev; Gerrard Noel, the Rev. Mr.
Coombe, of Manchestre, Mr. Sounder., Dr.
Hooper, the Rev. Geo. Them, mud u number of
