SUPPLY.

The House then went into committee of supply, at 20
minutes to 12 o'clock, and took the last vote.
On the vote of £700,000, balance of the sum required for
the packet s•-rvice,
Sir S. NORTHCOTE asked for an explanation of the
state of the contracts for the conveyance of the mails from
Dover to Calais, and Dover to Ostend. He also asked to be
informed if anything had been paid under the old contract
to Mr. hnrchward.

Mr. PEEL said that Mr. Harrington had made a tender
for the Dover and Calais service for £5,000, and i( had been
accepted conditionally on the house not voting any money for
Mr. Churchward. The contract was to take effect in
January next, but Mr. Harrington was willing to take it
for the remainder of the year, but the Government thought
his charge too much, and an application was made to the
railway companies, who agreed to perform th'. service from
June from Dover to Calais for a subsidy of £6,000 a year,
and he understood that they were using four of Mr. Church-
ward's beats. He hoped the contracts would be signed be •
fore the end of the session, and the house would empower
the Government to accept the contract. The service be-
tween Dover and Ostend it was proposed should be carried
out by a postal convention with the Belgian Government,
determinable at a year's notice.

Mr. LAIRD moved the reduction of the vote by £3,110
for the conveyance of mails between D)ver and Ostend,
from June, 1863, to March, 1864. He did so because he
objected to subsidising foreign Governments.
Mr. F. PEEL defended the convention with Belgium
and stated that the Belgian Government were prepared to
enter into undertakings for the performance of the contract.
The committee divided. The numbers were :
For she reduction
Against it
Majority

The vote was then agreed to ; and it being the last vote
in supply, it was ordered to be reported amidst the elle, rs
of the committee.

The house resumed, and immediately after went into com-
mittee of ways and means, and agreed to certain resolutions.
