but which it was not likely a private person
would have capital to make. If they failed to make
that preparation, and if they built vessels in a hurry, as
was done in old times, the result would be a large, an
immense expenditure for repairs. It was most erro-
neous to suppose that building bycoatract would not lead
to increased expense for repairs. Whatever might be
said about vessels built in the dockyards, there was not
a ship-builder on the Thames who would not admit that
the timber of these vessels was of a better quality than
that used in private ship-yards, and that the vessels re-
quired less repairs. In 1838 two packets, the Peterel and
the Penguin, were built by the Government, and about
the same time the Ranger and the Alert were built by
contract.

He trusted he had satisfied the House that the Hon.
Gentleman had not brought forward any sufficient
grounds for a Committee upon the subject; and he hoped
that the Hon. Gentleman would not press the motion to
a division.
Lord INGESTRE wished to call the attention of the
lion. Gentleman opposite to one important point con-
nected with this subject of Surveyor of the Navy, the
duties of which he thought had been ill-defined and still
worse executed. With regard to the board of reference
he had said at the time that it was a step in the right
direction. He thought the duties belonging to it had
been very well performed, and that it had been produc-
tive of great service to the country. He thanked the
late Board of Admiralty for having appointed the com-
mittee of reference, but as he was not aware whether
that committee was at present either broken up or about
to be broken up, he wished to ask the Gallant Officer op-
posite what he proposed to substitute in its place. He
quite approved of the appointment of Sir Baldwin
Walker as Surveyor of the Navy ; but he hoped to,hear
that he would have sufficient advice at hand to prevent
him falling into the errors of his predecessors. He had
always held that with the march of science on this
subject, the Admiralty would not be doing its
duty to the country if it did not institute a scientific
board, to whom they might refer the plans submitted to
them on the subject of shipbuilding. Such a board would
be of the greatest benefit, and he should rejoice to see an
officer like Sir Baldwin Walker at the head of it, always,
of course, under the control of the Board of Admiralty.
He agreed with the Secretary of the Admiralty in what
he said as to the building ships by contract. He be-
lieved, however, there had been of late several Govern-
ment vessels built in merchant yards. While they had
such dockyards as those at Milford Haven, Portsmouth,
and Devonport, he did not see why they should resort to
private yards at all. lie wished much to know the in-
tentions of the Admiralty with regard to the future
regulations of the office of Surveyor of the Navy. He
had always advocated the claims of the School of Naval
Architecture, of which ha had a high opinion, and
regretted that it had been abolished. With respect to
the present motion he would advise the Hon. Gentle-
man not to press it to a division.
Admiral DUNDAS said that as soon as the regula-
tions respecting the office of Surveyor of the Navy were
completed, they would be laid before the House. He
believed the only Government vessels which had lately
been constructed in merchant yards were the Holyhead
packets.
Captain HARRIS expressed a hope that the question
of economy would be considered solely with reference to
the efficiency of the navy, and not in the spirit of party.
As to building by contract, he did not think it would be
found to answer for the navy of this country.
Mr. HUME believed that Government was anxious to
do what they could to prevent the repetition of the
abuses connected with the expenditure for the navy, and
to put an end to the system of making alterations in
ships without any necessity. He believed that Govern-
ment would be obliged to institute a special inquiry into
the state of the dockyards. In the meantime, as the
Committee sitting on the subject of naval expenditure
would have to consider many of the points mentioned by
his Hon. Friend, he would advise him not to press his
motion to a division, but wait for the report of that Com-
mittee. If he should find that there still remained
points for inquiry, then would be the time to call the
attention of the Government to the subject.
Captain PECHELL said he thanked the lion. Member
for Edinburgh for the statement he had made ; for al-
though the Government opposed his motion, the subject-
matter had been so introduced that their attention would
be forced to the same.

Mr. MACGREGOR having briefly replied, the motion
was, by leave, withdrawn.
• AFFAIRS OF PORTUGAL.

Mr. URQUIIART then rose to bring forward the
motion, of which he had given notice, for an address to
her Majesty, representing that the intervention under-
taken in her name in Portugal was unlawful, and praying
her Majesty to forbid the continuation of this, or the
repetition of similar measures by her servants. The
Hon. Member referred to former debates which had
taken place in Parliament on the subject in question,
and was proceeding to quote the opinions of several
Hon. Members in favour of the principle of non-inter-
vention, when
An HON. MEssnEn. moved that the House be counted;
and there having been only thirty-six Members present,
the House was adjourned at Half-past Seven o'clock till
to morrow (this day).

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.
GROUP V.

Tthis group met for the first time
yesterday
Committeeerda morning, °n
g,in Room No. 28; Sir Robert Peel
in the chair.
WATERFORD, WEXFORD, 'WICKLOW, AND

DUBLIN.
The object of this Bill was to enable the company
to extend the time allowed them by their original
Act for taking a lease of the Dublin and Kings-
town Railway—to authorise the alteration of the
existing gauge of the Dublin and Kingstown Rail-
way, and to empower the South Wales Company
to subscribe towards the Waterford, Wexford, and
Wicklow undertaking to the extent of 250,0001.
The Bill was unopposed, and the Committee passed
the preamble.
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD.

millions, the original estimate being
little more than two millions, and its success would de-
pend in a great measure upon the company being allowed
to establish a steam-boat communication between
Holyhead and Dublin. The Committee were, no doubt,
aware that the-Legislature had sanctioned the construc-
tion of a harbour of refuge. at Holyhead, this company'
contributing 200,0001, and Government 800,000/. towards
the expense of the work. In the last Parliament a pri-
vate Bill was passed authorising the company to contri-
bute their quota, which contained a clause ens•
bl ing the company to become the proprietors of
steam-boats; but the Select Committee appointed
to examine into the merits of the public Bill authoris-
ing the Government to expend 800,0001. of the public
money upon the harbour, by dn accident omitted to pass
the clause enabling the Chester and Holyhead Company
to establish a line of steam-boats, and this circumstance
led to the withdrawal of the private Bill. Since then
the proposal had been fully examined by the Board of
Trade, who were agreed that it would be as much for the
interest of the public as for that of the company that
this Bill should
pass to empower them to run steam-
boats on their own account between Holyhead and
Kingstown or Dublin.
The evidence taken before the Select Committee last
year having been put in, a gentleman was called to prove
the inconvenience that would result to the public if the
company were not allowed to run boats.
The Bill was opposed by the' Steam Shipping Asso-
ciation and several other interests, but the opposition
was adjourned till to-morrow.
