The labours of the Galway Postal Com_
were brought to a close yesterday, and their repo,
was presented to Parliament last night by Mr.
Gregory. By a majority of four to two—the min-
ority comprising Mr. F. Peel and Mr. Walpole—
the committee resolved, on the motion of Mr. Ker
Seymer, that " they had reason to believe the
Royal Atlas tic Steam Navigation Company would
be in possession of a fleet of efficient steam-ships in
the course of the present year; and that they were
of opinion, should it be deemed advisable to re-
establish communication between the West coast of
Ireland and America, that the company deserved
the favourable consideration of her Majesty's. Go-
vernment." This report is tantamount to a recom-
mendation of the renewal of the subsidy, and* on
next Friday evening Mr. Gregory will ask
Lord Palmerston, now that the eotnmittee has so
favourably reported, what course Ninisters intend
taking with regard to the renewal - of the Galway
contract. The evidence, report, and other proceed-
ings of the committee, which are tolembly. lengthy.
will not be printed for some days, but it appeared
to be generally understood that Mr. Walpole, who
was a member of the Derby Administration when
the subsidy was granted to the company, submitted
a counter report, condemning in the most unquali-
fied terms the whole scheme, and declaring the
company to be altogether undeserving of State as-
sistance in any shape or form. Mr. F. Peel, repre-
senting the Government, was the only member of
the committee found to support this proposition.
If rumour be correct, the committee have further
placed upon record their opinion that, in terminat-
ing the contract with the Galway Company, the
o
Postmaster-General had no other course left open

The Bee, lighter, was to have been launched
yesterday at Portsmouth, broadside on, but the
operation was postponed on account of the tides.
She will be launched in about a fortnight.
The Duncan was, on Tuesday, as on the previous
day, unable to make her intended trial of machinery

of the weather for such experiments.
Practice will take place to-day at Fort Cumber-
land, near Portsmouth, from 12 and 25-pounder

service on board the Warrior to undergo a course
of practice previous to embarkation.
