A COAL DEPOT FOR THE FLEET.—What we have
for years urged the necessity and policy of has at length
been ordered—a coaling ship to enable men-of-war to
replenish their stock without the loss of time and
trouble in discharging their powder, &c., before coming
into harbour to do so. The Pitt, 72, has been brought
alongside the dockyard to-day for docking, to be con-
verted into a coal depot, which will be moored at the
Motherbank, a place close to Spithead, and where men-
of-war of-war can ship their fuel at any time or tide. The rapid
alteration of the sailing navy into a steam navy: hasi
naturally suggested the necessity and importance of thin

IMPERIAL PARLIAME.NT.

HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the
Woolsack at five o'clock.

On the motion of the Earl of DERBY, the Bill for
providing for the payment of bills of exchange, falling
due on the 18th of August, on the day previous, was
read a first time to-day, and ordered to be read a second
time to-morrow.
THE SLAVE TRADE.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the
parishof St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, complainingpf distress,
and praying for a more stringent carrying out of the
measures for the repression of the slave trade.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved the appoint-
ment of a Select Committee to inquire into the possibility
improving the lighting of the House and of the Lords'
robing-room.
The Ea* of DERBY said he need hardly assure the
Noble Duke that the question of the whole of the ar-
rangornolis connected withthefuneral had been a matter
of very anxious consideration on the part of the Govern-
ment and of those connected with the responsibility (for
such it was) of conducting a ceremony of such magni-
tude ; and he had no doubt that provision had been
made for the fitting accommodation of those persons
who had to join officially in the procession, and for faci-
litating as far as possible their return after the ceremony
ba,d hen performed ; but he thought. it would bo eon-
venient, if their lordships agreed to the appointment
of a committee, that the committee should have in
attendance before them on the following day Garter
King-at-arms, from whom they might ascertain
what were the precise arangements made and then
the Committee or any noble lord would have an
opportunity of suggesting any alterations which they
thought desirable ; and if it was possible to make them
within the limited time which remained, he was sure that
every person engaged would be ready to pay the utmost
deference to the wishes of the House, and would have
every disposition to meet them.
The resolution was then agreed to, and the Noble
Earl having nominated the committee, their Lordships
proceeded to the other business on the notice paper.
WEST INDIAN DISTRESS.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the
inhabitants of the parish of St. Elizabeth, in the
island of Jamaica. They complained of the distress
which that and- other of the British West Indian
islands were suffering, in consequence of the admission
of slave labour sugar into the British market, and
called the attention of the House to the unfair advantage
which their competitors had over themselves, who were
compelled to raise their produce by free labour ; to the
infractions on the part of some nations of the treaties
into which they had entered for the suppression of the
slave trade ; and to the stimulus which the late commer-
cial policy of this country was calculated to give to the
slave trade ; and they prayed the House to take mea-
sures for their relief.
