-commITTEE OF SUPPLY.
CnAt+;cet.Loß of the EXCHEAbER moved
the Order of the Day for this Committee .; and on
his motion, •
The Navy Estimates were referred 'to this
•_. ,

znittee. '
• Mr. Writ. DlmmAs said, that as these Estimates
had been printed for some and were in the
bands of most Members, he thought it unneces-
s-ary to occupy thuch of ihe time of the House.
He would be-happy to give any explanation Which
aright ho required in addition- to the statement
which
_he .was alwrit to make. The Estimates
cunt:tine.; the expenees, ordinary, extraordinary,
fund the ti‘awiport service. The first was di-
tided into three branches ; namely, Ist, General
Services 2d, Half-pay, the' extent of which it
was not yet possible to estimate accurately ; and,
.:Id, Pay of superannuated Officers. Then came
a head of 'expellee which was new—it was for
-those works which were necessary in ease of war,
although he-trusts is now remote, still
it. was necessary for such a nation to provide
against to a ctrtain extent. In the article of
Army Provisions there was a deduction of
800,0001. The amount- of the last estimate for
Prisoners of War as 1,200,0001. which he pro-
posed now to re-duce by 255,11001. As to the
Transport Sersicei on account of the lentql of
troops from foreign I.,ervice, an average.of two ad-
ditional months was to he taken. In Dteember
last, the allowinces Por tear and wear of the Navy
in gerreral had, been 12,300.000/. This en,tinvite
he proposed. to reduce by 2,000,000/. He conld
trot refrain from noticing the -unprecedented pitch
to which the naval power of the. kingdom had
been raised during the last year. The praise- of
this was due to the liberal vote which had been
consented to by the good sense of Parliament.
There were 1000 vessels of war of different de-
scriptions in the British Navy. He concbided
t-ith.an culogium on orir seamen ,and naval Of-
fcers.—He then moved the different Resolutions
pursnant_to his statement,,whieh were agreed to ,
without any opposition.
Mr. TtEnN EY tvishe►l to know the difference be-
twee/4 the total expence of this year and the last
year.
- _

Mr. CROKER.—In the Ektraordinary.Estimates
the diminution was 709,000/. As compared with
the expellee of last yea.r, there was a reduction of
3,000,000/.
- Mr. TIERNEY said, what he wanted to know was
the difference in the total expellee.
• Mr. CROKER had not yet made up this, but it
was quite easily done, and would be seen by any
Gentle►uan
.who had an Estimate. For instance,
-Under the first head there was an increase of 60,009/.
because it included half-pay and superannuation
'allowances. Under the head of the .Extraordina-
ries there was -a decrease of 700,0001. In the
Army Provisions there was an increase of 500,0001.
on account of the 'return of troops. Fdr the same
cause there was in the Transport Service an in-
vrease of 700,000/. As to those services the 'ex-
pence§ of which .were voted for along with those
of the Navy; they were greater this year, owing to
particular circumstances, but in all human proba-
-bility after this year they would cease altogether.
Mr. LOCK BART asked
.It'there was any ititen-
tion to increase the allowance of seanien • out-

pensioners.
. Caor.A.R. replied, that it. vas impossible of
a sudden to answer that question. The Funds of
Greewvieti fiosp;ta: were limited, but no aildi-
tional allowance would ‘.44e tt-pdssible.
answe.r to a question by Sir C. Poole,
Mr. CRonER said, that the Fund for the sup-
port of the Widows of -Naval Officers had
much increxAtd, that the pensions bad been of
• late enlarged. •
The Report was then ordered to be received on
