NAVY EST LmA'T ES.

Sir J. GRAHAM said that, considering the lateness of
the hour (2 o'clock) he would defer any statement with re-
spect to the estimates till the next opportunity. On the
present occasion, however, as the discussion on the policy
of the course pursued by the Government might now be
deemed closed, he would take the votes for the number
and pay of the men. (Hear, hear.)
The votes were accordingly proposed,—viz., the number
of seamen was fixed at 41,000; boys, 2,000; ma, ines afloat,
8 .'(:); and marines ashore, 7,500; total, 5-4;00; 2.192,6711.
were voted for the pay, and 87033;1. for the victuals.
Col. SIBTHORP expressed his concurrence in the votes,
and his readiness to increase the number of the men.
The house OLT' resumed.

Lord J. RUSSELL—I beg to state that, on Friday next,
I propose to take a vote for the number of men in the army
before we go into any further votes for the navy.

On the motion of-fir, I. BUTT, documents relative to
the construction of Ballycotton harbour and pier were or-
dered to be laid before the house.

The house adjourned at about about five minutes past two
o'clock.
