COMNIFITV.Y. OF SUMS

Sir G. WAR HEN DER rose to MOVe the remaining
votvs of the Navy Supply. Ile said it ‘voold not
be necessary for hint to tiespass upon the time of
the Committee with any obsetvations, As he under-
stood the discussion was to be taken undo the
Report. The first vote lie should propose was the
sum of 1,333,3111. 13s. 2d. for defraying the or-
dinary establishatenvof the Navy.
Sir C. roLF: took that opportunity of express-
ing his wish that a larger allowance of pensions
should be granted to the Widows of Naval Orli-

cers.
Sir G. WARREN)ER replied, that the Widows
of Naval Officers were on the slme footing as
those of Officers, with respect to their
pensions, which it teas impossible to increase.
Mr. Cat.ctrAwr complained that the Flag Offi-
cers of the Navy did not enjoy allowances equal
to Officers of a similar rank in the Army. Ad-
verting to the retiring pension of the late Comp-
troller of the Navy, Sir T. Thompson, he observ-
ed that it had every appearance of being granted
to assist in paying the expellees of the Rochester
Election.
Sir G. WARRENDER denied that there was the
least ground for the Hon. Gentleman's suspicion.
The retiring pension of a Comproller of the Navy
was 1500/. ; and with a view of saving 900/. a-
year to the public, the First Lord of the Admiralty
had sacrificed a piece of patronage, and appointed
Sir T. Thompson to the Treasurerslaiu of Green-
wich Hospital, to which a salary of 9001. was
annexed, and the pension of 6001. was given to
make op the sum of 15001.
Mr. CALCRAPT asked, why then had the ap-
pointment to the Treasurership taken place in
June, arid the pension not been granted until
September ?
Sir G.WARRENDER assured the Hon. Gentleman
that the whole arrangement was hi contemplation
from the commencement, and that the delay in
:he assembling of a Council, an order from which
was necessary, had been the cause of the post-
ponement of the grant of the pension.
Sir G. Hore and Mr. Croker confirmed the
statement of the lion. Bacouet.
The Resolution was then agreed to.
610,5851. 15s. 4d. was voted fur the Extraordinary Esta-
blishinent of the Navy.
On aitintion for 300,0001. for Provisions for Troops, Gar-
risons, Ships on Foreign Statutes, Transports, &c.—
Mr. ROSE adverted to the Petition presented the other
evening. from Dennis Sullivan, and entered into a detailed
statement of the .steps Mile') he (Mr. Rose) had effectually
taken to obtain justice for Sullivan from his agent. He also
defended the character of Mr. Dyer from the imputations
which had been east on bins.
Mr. Wynn, Sir C. Pole, and Mr. D.:Gilhert, all bore tes-
timony to the active and persevering exertions of the Right
lion. Gentleman (Mr. Rose) in behalf of the seamen of his
Majesty's Navy.

jesty's Government.; that the Forts should be reduced from
nine in number to fire ; that a larger sum should be voted
for their support, and that some alteration should take place
in the duties on articles of Commerce. In the course of his
observations, the Hon. Gentleman warmly eulogized the
character and conduct of the Secretary to the African So.
ciety.

the state of the Harbour of Lynn: Regis was ordered to he re-

passed.
After some-further conversation between Mr. Wynn and.
Mr. V. Blake, the Gallery was cleared for a division ; but the
clause was withdrawn, we understood, before the House ac-

Sir G. HILL then proposed an amendment on the clause
which allows the Sheriff to cxtend the duration of the poll on
affidavits, stating that a number of voters remained unpolled,
notwithstanding their endeavours to give their votes.

Ponsonby, Sir F. Flood, and some other Members, and the

posed the House should ad-jowls: A motion for
-an adjournment was forthwith made, and imme-,
diately carried.—Adjourned at Half-past Twelve.

A genteel yOnng man of the name of Whitehead
was drowned in the New giver, a short distance
from Islington, on Friday afternoon last. He had
ventured to swim under what is culled the Dark
Arch, and when about Midway he was heard sud-
denly to cry out and make a struggle in the water.
His companion, not being an expert swimmer, be-
came alarmed, and made the best of his way back
to the shore, and called out for help. Some peo-
ple, who were haymaking near the spot, Last eoed
to the assistance of Mr. Whitehead, and waited
at the opposite end of the arch to that which he
entered, in the hope of his making his appearance,
instead of which they observed the hotly of a man
floating on the water with all his clothes on. On
dragging it on shore, they found that the person
must have been some days in the water. They
looked in vain-for Mr. Whitehead, who bail sunk
to rise no more. llis body, on being dragged for,
was found about three hours afterwards. The
deceased was considered an expert swimmer, and
has been known to swim nearly a mile at a time.
His being drowned is supposed to be owing to his
having come suddenly in contact with the dead
body already mentioned, the sight of which had
so horrified him as to deprive him of his faculties.
After a Coroner's Inquest had been held on the
body of the stranger, it was buried on Saturday ;
that ul Mr. Whitehead was iuterred yesterday.
