Lord Vise: PALMERSTON felt it awkward to oppose the effects of
liberal feelings: bat the Ilowe uould consider whether arrangements Of
thii description should be taken pier-meal, or viewed in the Whole. It
was impossible to decide on the point without entering into the whole
scale of arrangement. If the half pay of the ensign were not enough
to support him as a gentleman, surely the addition of sixpence would
nut much assist the gallant General's objec'. The alteration propo:ed
would haufere with the whole rule, whieu would be mischievous. Ile
could never think of estimating what should be done for military ser-
vices by any reference to the earnings of labourers. The scale of half
pav must he formed on a comperati,e view.
After a short discussion the House divided, when Gen. Gascoyne's
motion was lust by a innkrity of 3 to 23.

alter the opinion he before gave, that after deducting the value of the
materials, 15,0001 would .be sufficient to cover the expence of the pre-
parations fur the fire-work,.
