Mr. V. FITZG ERA LD feared that the amendment would make

,

tered into a variety of statements, which tended to chew, that
the Bank might to hind their coney at a much lower rate to'
interest. As long as he was supported by the House, as he lilt
lie should be in the present question, he should persevere in
what lie felt to Ise a duty he owed to his constituents and the
public.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER remarked, that the
',limey was obtained at a considerably lower rote of interest
than it could he had in Oily other quarter. There would be a
saving to she public of dO,thrill. per annum by the bargaia. He
should met waste the time of the House by going any farther
into detail, but should i 1.,t satisfied with affirming that tbs
bargain ..vas every way advantageous to the public.
Alter a protracted conver,ation . between Mr Ponsonliv,
Iwerd Folkstone, Mr. Battles, mud the Cluaucalnr of the Exche-
quer, the Bill wits read a third tines.
On the Order of the Day for the House to co into a Corn-
niittee of Supply, and that the Exchequer Bilk outstanding lie
referred to the same,
Mr. Vtht.AY addressed this House at some length on the sob.
jest of Naval Officers, for whom, lie conceived, that adequate
advantages were not provided, and he objected geom.:ll,y to
the principles on which promotions in the Navy wet e fuutlitt 41.
Sir GEoitsix Hoeg said, he would take notice of the subject
alluded to by the Hon. Gout. when the question came pro-
perly before the House.
The House then 'resolved itself into a Committee.
The CH tact .tmt (tithe EXCHEQUER moved a sum 0f134,5541..
for paying oil the Annuities granted under the Loyalty Loan.
He aim moved a of 92,0001. for paying the interest on out-
stnntlii:e Exchequer Bills.
Sir G. WARREN DER moved to grant a sum of 82,6191. for de—
fraying the expences of the Navy Offiee.
Mr. FR LENA ATLI said, that on the whole, not more than tri
clerks were reduced; but there VV.I9 an increase ofe xpenditOre
to the amount of 1:/,0001. The whole expence was now much
prate's in peace than it was in a late year of war. The ex-
pense of the Navy in general had been ilueng war about 2
millions; now the expellee was nine millions; and yet, not-
wislistandilw this great reduction, the expence of the civil es-
talffishinent was not in the least diminished.

Sir G. Wattip.,inEit said, diat the civil eapeneet of the navy
had always increased, eveu by the opera& of dischargiii4
the fleet ; there had been greater reductions in this branch of
the service, compared with the last year of the war, than took
place in IMO, compared with the year preceding that period,.
which WWI the last of the war also.

Mr. TuI.RNEV Said, t Ware had been an increase in these esti-
mates of gu,oool. over those of !lila, achieli be called the last
of the war, for he had purposely passed over Isl.'', which be
did nut cousidt-r as a star of Nasal war. In I50:1. there W 1143
an expectation of war breaking out immediately. It vas, there-
fore, too much to tell hint lie hail tailed in his argument by cum.
paring the present estimates with those of that period. It ap-
pear,4l that delay and redaction had produced a .acing of
140,0001. in the Ordnance Estimates, reduction bad also taken
place in the Army Estimates, and why the Navy Estimates
alum should be fought through the Cotninistec he was at a loss
to imagine.
Mr. CROMER entered into a variety of statements, to show
that a reduction such. as was expected was impossible, but
every exertion would be made towards a retrenchineat.
After some obsersations from Mr. Croker and Mr. Baring.
the latter proposed that the estimate for defraying the expencea
of the nab) office and navy board should be postponed. which
was tiegaused, and the resolution agreed to.—Aalioarned.
