This ha stated was ongittally 175,0 W. but aiow
reduced as above.

" That the am of 34,04)01. be granted trtwarda ererti,le
bnildhigs and nuking impres eau ids arum Ttesee hill, for tt,e

Mr. CUMILIII here took occasion to remark. that
amougst all the improvements set en foot by the
Government of the country, he should be glad to
see some means devised for giving security to the
lives of our gallant .seamen, when endangered by
boisterous weather upon our coasts. He under-
stood that there was at present an invention made
bi a Captain Nlniiby, by which a ruin?
tired out ola bomb, and conveyed three hundred
earl fifty yards from the shore, TO d to reach a
‘e- •el driven a Ain that distance. This, bethought,
was an useful discovery, as iu many eases it hap-
pened, that out of twenty persons invo'ved in
such i..eriloutisttuations, no leas than nineteen pe-
r•.sheJ, on account of the shallowness of the water
8. , nu'

.dtuitting of the life-boat being used. In a
reiii.:nt case, he believed that misty-seven gallant
rn hail hero lost, although within one hundred
~f the shore. Had a rope been thrown out of
a accurling to the invention of Captain
valuable lives might probably have
be. ,saved to their country, for indeed it hau

" That %oriel. be granted for &fraying the Mira charges
tn. Messeogers to the Secretory of State."
Several other Resolutions were proposed by Mr.
Flestassoit, read and agreed to, bat which were not
distinctly audible to the gallery.
l'be CHAN:ALCOA of the ESCREQUAK Staid. Ile
was desirous of submitting .to the Committee •
rote of a sum of money on behalf of the unfortu-
nate Clergy and Laity of Frame who had taken
refuge in this country; but which he had delayed
till such time its It could be ascertained how far the
amount of voluntary contributions would ga for
the relief of those unfortunate and illustrious per-
sonages. He should, therefore, propose—
" 'that the sons of mama. ibusild be granted to His Ma.
jelly f r the Relief of the suffering Clergy surd Laity of
Fr illeC, fur the year trot." Also
" That the suns of vs,ootit. be granted to Ni. Mejesty frr
supporting the British farts span tee coast if AN:ea."
These being agreed to, the House resumed, and
the Report was ordered to be received te-eierrow.

Mr. Du n °As postponed his motifs' a for certain
grants to the East India Company, from Friday to
nnday nest, on account of the Report of the
Committee upon thcir affairs not being yet ready.

PISMOUTiI DOCK.
Mr. TIMWNiir, pursita...: to notice, moved f r
leave to bring in a >iol tOr establiolim a new
system of Pbhce foe Plymouth Dark, to prevent
the various depretkagoas a.,ich there took place.
Sir Wat.s.last Etroan 'and, he bile uld not object
to such a Rl' being brought in, but he thought it
would be better that some Krounda should he laid,
to stew the acres.ity rat aituritsg the mode of admi-
nitter.og justice. He believed that great depreda-
tions hail lately taken place, and evcry one would
naturally wish to see tlh.ou effectually suppressed;
but the only question with him was, whether the
mode now suggested wai the best mode of doing
so ? He did not thick it (^told he shewn that the
Mir,istrates already entrzitel with that department
heirshewn icy reluctance or
.negligence in ap:.e,
heading, cornmittiug, end trying, persons a ho com-
mitted such depredation'.
Sir CIIIARLIES Pots thought that such a Bill as
that now suggested would be exceedingly useful.
Mr. BAsTARD era appreacusive that the plan of
introducing Justices to sit upon the same Benches
with the Magistrates, might be deemed to imply
a censure upon the latter. He should the
wish some previous Report to be made to 'hew
the sheelutg tleteenty of sock a Bill, or et. ietro-
ducing am /change whatever.
After a 'few ebsesratiosis from Admiral Haeetx
and the Csawitiwa of the Ezcsamosa. have
was given to bring" in the Eill.
