BELL-ROCK LIGHT tiOttaa.
On the motion of the LORD ADVOCATE of
SCOTLAND, the 1-1..n.e resolved itself into a
Committee, to .consider ut the Rapist relative to
the ereetion of a Light House inn the Bell-Rock,
nest the junction of the Firth and Clyde, on the
Eastern coast of Scotland,. when he moved a :este.
!mean, that it would be highly beneficial to the
trade and navigation of this country, it a Light
Wise were ereEtei on the Bell-Rock.
Mr. BAKER observed, that certainly, in many
situations, Light Homes were found to be extremely
useful things ; but when the Learried Lord meant
to engraft upon it a grunt of public money, come
other explanation should he given of it.
The LORD ADVOCATE mid, the explanation
world be found in the Report laid before the
House, so far back as the year 1003 ; as to the
utility, he should think no pinprisition more sell-
evident, than that it wcuid he beneficial, it a light-
Buse ceeld be erected upon every rock in the ocean,
aed surely much ranee so on the coasts of these
isLtfids. 'There were infinitely more persons lost
upon this rock than the public ever knew of; for, un-
fortunately, it generally happened t at all on board
perished, and nothing could be saved. tie thought
it a sufficient explanation to say, that the rock was a
very dangerous one, and that a light-itouse could
be erected upon it.
Mr. PEACE VAL thought the circumstance of the
Report remaining unnoticed since the year 18133,
did not make very favourahly for the Rill. lie
could not help observing, that it was but yesterday
the House heard from the other side that nothing
should be agitated of interest to Scotland, at this
time, when so many members from that part of the
country were absent. If that wit to be the case, in
a matter of such generalutility, as the trainim, of the
people, why should not the same argument :hold in
this, which was a bocn, and nor a burthen He
diaibted the truth of his Learned Erieed's posi
Pon, that it would be advisable to ereitt a
light-house on every rock in the ocean ; for
though it may have a very pretty *flat yet a plan
of that kind would form such a constellation round
.the coasts of these islands, as would deeele the
eyes, and be produElive of a ruinous confusion.—
The Learned Lord stated, that the navigation was
to pay the expence, by a dirty of one penny half-
penny a toe, on all vessels trading in that direCtion,
which would fall princip.i.ly upon Scotland; hut
the great expence of the ereCtion at least, he fancied,
would fall upon the public. Besides, it was not
certain that such contribution would be sulficient ;
for if he remembered tight, when this projat was
before submitted, the parts of Hull and Scar-
borough were also to pd)' Melt stare of the contri-
bution ; and if the duties by the present plan
should not lee found sufficient, it must in the end
be defrayed by the public.
The LORD ADVOCATE replied, that he re-
mained last night in the House till he was compelled
to leave it from indisposition, but while he re-
mained, he heard no objection made to any Scotch
Bills being brought forward at this period of the
Session. fie had dischargel his ditty in layir.g
the matter below the House, and it rested with
them in what manner they would diapose of it.
Mr. JOHNS TONE spoke in favour of the Bill.
Mr. SMITH said, that the'Committee te whom
this subjed was referred, in a former year, were
unanimously of opinion, that the Sell Rock was
an extremely dangerous one, and that the ereetion
of a light-house upon it would be highly beneficial
to the title of Great Britain. It co happened,
leiwever, that vessels from Hull and Scarborough,
were, by the former bill, not the present, subject to
their Awe of the contribution, and &e merchants,
ithough sensible of the utility of the scheme, chose
rather to run the risk, than pay their share of the
expencee. 'chat objeftion, howee,r,
,was obviated
in the pre.ent measure, and he chould give it his
supeeria_

The first resolution was then agreed to.

Craig, at his own resi,:eace, on the subjea of the

Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY moved, "that a

takm on the Ode Charge, against the Marqiiis
Wellesley, be faid• upon the table;' which was
agreed to, brought up by Mr.Hoblautbe, and ordered
to lie on the table.

COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY, ARIIY EXTRACR•
DINARIES, Ac.
Mr.VANSITTART m^ved, " that the House do
now remise into a Committee of Supply, and that
the Army Extraordinaries, and various other ac-
counts, be referred to it." which being agreed to,
Mr. Hobhouse in the Chair; be stated that the
accounts of the Army Extraordinaries had been
so long delayed, by reason of the difficulty in
making them ep, arising from a number of expe-
ditions sent nut ; and without de!aying the Com-
mittee any longer, moved. "that for the Extraordio
naries of the Army, from the 25th December, 1S0&,
to December, 1805, there be granted to His Majes-
ty the sum of 207,3721. 6s. tod."
Mr. HUSKISSON said, he only rose for the pur-
pose of remarking. that from motives of general
ennveMence, a great part of that business was trans-
ferred lait year from the Barrack to the C4mtnis-

Mr. 11USKISSON observed, that there re-
mained ma•iy more supplies to be voted, such as two
millions Am ars of Smosidies, &c. ; and few of the
'ntaterial sums had yet been brought forward,
except the land and malt, and the provisions for the
Loan. He wished to know when the whole would
be submitted

Lord HENRY PETTY replied, but in so low a
tone of voice, as to be inaudible in the gallery.
The Rzeolutions were then agreed to. anol
ordered to be leported on Monday.
Mr. HOBHOUSE brought up the Report of the
Irish Distillery Colleetion Bid, which WAS agreed
to. and the Bill ordered to be read a third time, on
Monday.
Lord HENRY PETTY gave notice, that he
would, on Wedue.day, submit to Cie consideration
of the House, a nr,tiou on the subjeft of Vaccine
Inoculation in the united kingdom.

COMMITTEE OF WAYS AND MEANS.
Mr. I/ANSI I'TART moved, " that the House
do resolve itself into a Committee of ways and
Means," which ;hey did accordingly (Mr. Alexan-
der in the Chair), in which it was resolved, that the
sum of 4 Sho,oool. part of the sum remaining to
he received of 11,500,0001. voted for the services
of 1803. be granted towards the services of the pre-
sent year.
The House resurrod, and the Report ordered to
be received on Monday.
The Militia Bill went through a Committee, and
several amendments were made.

The House resumed, and received the Report,
which was ordered to be taken into further consi-
deration on Tuesday, and the Bin to be printed as
amended.

TRAINING BILL.
The House then resolved itself into a Committee.
of the whole lionse on the Training Bill.
On the elan .e for calling out the men for twenty-
four days being read,
Sir JAMES PiTI.TENEY proposed, as an
Amendment, that the Bill should be in force for
two years ; and that the same body of men should
be trained for forty-eight days, instead of two sepa-
rate bodies of men for twenty-four days. In
.his
opinion, too,ooa men, trained for forty-eight days,
would he a much more efficient force than twice
that number. which had in several bodies been
trained only for twenty-four days each, and would
be more to be depended on,in case of any emergency
that .could happen.
- Mr. gerrrostry WINDHA 5.1 said, this isc-
iskg a new mode of training men, it had for that
reason been called a matter of experiment, end all
matters of experiment, should, in his opinion, he
made for as :hurt a time as possible, in order that
you might derive advantage from your own expe-
rience. He could not therefore see any necessity for
mending the continuance of this Bill to two years
instead of one; but he objefted to it for another rez-
son, which was, that it would be looked upon as too
great a hardship to fix such a burtben on any one
set of men; and further, that one of the objetas of
the Bill was to pat as great a body of men as
,possible, successively into training.
V iscountC ASTLEREAGII spoke in favourof the
Amendment, he went over many of the arguments
used by himself and others, on the different debates
on the Bill, and drew a comparative view of the
expenoe of this 841, and that brought in by his
Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Yorke) in 1803; though
there could scarcely be any fair comparison made,
•his Rt. Hon. Friend's measure being so much less
.expeissiva. He would therefore compare the ea-
pence of this Bill with that of the Volunteers. The
Volurnesrs were to receive Is..a day for RO days,
and ans. for clothing once in three years ; the Right
tin.k. Gentleman, it was true, said, be.did not
mean thase Tien tc be clothed, :led they might not
wear any rezitucutals at their musters,; but there

meet be. clothing pespottei. and ready, In cage they
should be called into the geld; reherwise, if taken iq
arm:, those men world be considered by the enemy
as marauders, andesectued accordingly. The
Gen:lemen'e training under this Bill, writild, he said.
come to A'aollt 3!. 12s. a m in, ;red the Volunteers
irntrePrnleteel
to about 41. so that there wateld only be a 4E0"o
of Ss. a man; and when it was considered diet the
vt-13;;;!c,i, wcrc already in a seats of
!surly equal to is soldier, it was astonlibtaZ
Right lion. Gentlemen should prefer iespertdin*
the public money in favour cf training such a louse,
unoffleered, undisciplined fence as this must be, le
the Volunteers, whose zee!, ardour, and patriot,
inn, had formed them into a state of eltsuaeg
c
y "Pensive'diseipline. He insisted that the force se et
raised by the Bill now before the House, wee,/ It
e
whilst it was totally ineffieeesa,
and would disappoint not only the. hopes of the
country, but the hopes of the Right• Hon. Geode,
men also. It the Right Hon. Gentleman mew*
to be an officered corps, he should agree to as
amendment, it it was not to be an officered corps,*
wJuld never be of any use whatever, and tie reeeter
array would he much better and stronger se.thaue
its aid than with it. For these re 4501111, he shoesa
support the Amendment.
Mr. Secseury WINDHAM said, certainly wee
not his intention, that the men should be trained*
Suedeys, but he was not convinced that it
not be the better way. He had uOt come to eJ
determination, on account of ally religions serupjee
on his part. but bcceute he had been tnfortned
many, and indeed he really thought, that it era*
destroy the reverence for religioa. For this leer,
rence, he said, he we; a greater advocate eke'
was generally believed ; used it might he recer
lealca, that he had at one time expressed his op's,
nioa with regard to Sunday Newspap.ea,
which he considered as a great and growing.
evil. With respell to the expellee, lie thought se
should be considered as trifling, when compare?
with the expence of the Volunteers, not even inclu
ing the immense sum subscribed voluntarily. Meek
had also been said by the Noble Lord about the V.e,
lunteers being a much better force; but on tLis six**,
je& he would- vay nothing. it hevieg been already ee
much debated, except to Jesiee gentlemen to recol,
led, that hesiiies this force, there was in the country
a very large body of v olenteers ; and he thought
absurd to suppose that they would be less service,
able hernnse. we had this veined body otmzn.
Viscount CASTLEREAGH again paid, that the
present system was full as commie...odic Yoke,
teers, without being so efficient. and 14144, t!ires
the flight Han. Gentleman was entirely silent vita
respect to the clothing.
Mr. SPENCER St rANHOPE wished to know
how the men ware to be officered, when airy we:y
first raised, whether by the serjeant or the crest;..
hie (4 fetid late from tit Ohiesitios co•
whetter arty others were to be appointed Tlai he
conceived was a point that should be explained :e
the House, and it the Right Hon. Gentleman wee
competent, he demanded it of hint, not only as e
MernSer of Parliament. but as a Deputy Lieutenant..
Mr. secretary WINDHAM was iruch estop-
ished that the fancies of Gentlemen should be so
much tickled at the speech of the Honourable Gen,
tleman ; for his parr, he could not see where tilt
joke was. He supposed it was is the constable ; anst,
indeed, he thought the Honourable Gentleman had
need to explain it, like Bsyea. in the comedy of rtit
Rtieartal, who says, " the joke is in the booet.%'
The Right Honourable Gentleman then raid, that
the serjeant was to drill the men, and the constable,
who, it was well known, had a kind of authority over
the men, was to stand by and take those into cu..
tody who were deserving of such a punishment.
Mr. PERCIVAL referred to the late bill broiled*
in by Mr. Yorke, and said, that his Hon. Friend
had wisely provided a Captain and other Officers tar
120 men ; for it was absurd to suppose that it could tee
done by one man and a constable. who was to steed
by and take every man into custody, aho
did not turn out his toes. He therefore hoped the
Right Honourable Gentleman would make o
provision for the appointment of officers.
Mr. Secretary WINDHAhI said, the only dif-
fe:ense he saw, was, that in the Bill to which ti*
Hon. Gentleman alluded, the Constable wee
called a Captain, and there was a waste of maim,
titles.

Mr. PERCIVAL explained.
Sir J. PULTENEY then signified his intnstioi
of withdrawing his amendment, as it was
dzred Ly the Itiipt Hon. Gentleman to be incon.-
yeniem.

A short craveriation then took place betwecit
Lord H. Petty, :dr. Parcivat, Mr. Spencer titan-
hope, Mr. Bastard, and Sir W. Young, and the
clause was finally agreed to. After a long conver-
sation on the clause with respell to the payment
fines, the gallery was cleared tor a division, but the
clause was agreed to without any having takep.
place.
Upon the clause appointing two days in the
week for the purposes of training, being real,
CA.L.VELZT asovod an emen..imeek, thee
Sunday, except dining the hours of divine service,
might be appropriated to the said purposes.
This produced a conversation, in which Mr.
Wilberforce, Mr. William Smith, and Mr. Parci.•
val, opposed the amendment; and Mr. -Yorke, and
Sir James Pulteney supported it.
Mr. WIXUHAM said, he was not of opinion
that the praelice of training men for the d..fence at
their countrv, and it; relitlious and civil establid-..
ments, would be an injury to &Le te►erence of the
Sabbath ; but, to obviate objeelions which other
Gentlemen entertaiiied, he shculd support the dance
as it originally stood.
Mr. CALVERT said, he would not pret.s whoa*
had proposed, and withdrew his amendment.
After some further clauses were acne through,
Sir JAMES PULTENEY sugge ted dui •proprv:i,
of deferring the consideration of the remaining
clauses of the Bill till Monday, which ern ac-
ceded to; the Chairman repr.rted progress, and
the Committee obtained leave to sit sgsin on nine
day.
The Bill for the encoutagernent of eh: Thread
Lace Manataaure, with amendments, and the
Post-Gffice trgulation Bill, were read a third ti,LIP
and paased.
The other enders were disposed and at TWO
