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 mon-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 dockojard 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 can ship their fuel at any time or tide. The rapid
alteration of the sailing navy into a steam navy has
naturally suggested the necessity and importance of this
movement to the Admiralty.—Portsmouth Times.

IMPERIAL PAR ;LIAMENT,

HOUSE OF LORDS--( YESTERDAY.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR look 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 DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S FUNERAL.
The Earl of DERBY then moved that an humble
Address be presented to her Majesty, thanking her for
her gracious Message, and also thanking her for
having ordered a public funeral to the remains
of the late Duke of Wellington, and also to assure her
of their Lordships' concurrence in any steps taken for that
purpose.

The motion was agreed to.

The Earl of DERBY then moved that their Lordships
do attend the funeral, and that a committee be appointed
to consider the most appropriate manner in which their
Lordships should attend.
The Duke of CLEVELAND inquired if there were
any arrangement as to the manner in which those who
attended thef uneral in an official capacity should return
from it.

The Earl of DERBY said, he had no doubt that ar-
rangements would be made for that purpose; but it would be
better to refer the subject to the Committee, before which
Garter-King-at-Arms would attend.
The motion was then agreed to.
THE SLAVE TRADE.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the
parish'of 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 CLANBICARDE moved the appoint-
ment of a Select Committee to inquire into the possibility
Of improving the lighting of the House and of the Lords'
robing-room.
The Earl of DERBY said he need hardly assure the
Noble Duke that the question of the whole of the ar-
rangements connected with thefuneral 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
bad been performed ; but he thought it would be con-
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 he 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.
