arose partly from a necessary increase in the Sala-
ries of the First Lord of the Admiralty, and .of-the -4rllol-41'

heretoforr been in some degree defrayed from the ftVitkitt
Fund aris.ng from the sale of Old Stores; which
were now br:mght to account, and partly from the
augmentation of the number of Clerks, and from
those in the Offices being entitled, from their long
services, to an increase of emolument, as well as
