COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.

Sir G. COCKBURN moved that a vote for not exceed-
ing 30,000 seamen, including 9,000 marines, be granted
to his Majesty for six months, from the Ist of Jan., 1828.
Mr. MABERLY opposed the vote.
Mr. HUME, opposed the grant, and declared that the
Legislature was going on, year after year, in a course of
most disgracefully wasteful expenditure, exceeding the in-
come of the country, and snaking up the deficiency by the
issue of Exchequer Bills.
Sir J. WROTTESLEY did not so much object to the
particular vote now before the Committee, as to the fact
that they had not a full statement before them of the whole
of the estimates. Great expectations, were held out from
the appointment of the Finance Committee. Ue hoped
they would be realized, but he could not conceal his fears
that this Finance Committee would be used, as former
Committees had been—made the 'scape-goat for the pro-
pc.sition of fresh taxes, which the Ministry would not dare
to propose on their own responsibility. Last year we bad
a deficiency of 3,000,0001., and he regretted to observe
that the deficiency was going on. In looking at our
expenditure, he did not object to particular items of
the Army and Navy, but he objected to the general
character of the whole. He slid not think that the
country could go on maintaining the principles of
free trade, while its expenditure was continued on its
present scale. If he understood the principles on which
we endeavoured to carry on free trade, one of the
means by which we could hope to do so was a redaction
in the price of all articles of our produce and manu-
facture, so as to meet the competition of other countries
in the foreign market. In order to effect this, the price
of provisions must be reduced, and the currency altered ;
the whole of the landed and manufacturing interests must.
submit to a reduction of their income by one-fourth or
one-third, in order to put the country in a condition to
meet the new stage of things. But while such reductions
were Made, were those who were paid large salaries by
the public to be the only exceptions? It was, he con-
tended, impossible that the country could go on to meet itas
engagements with the public creditor, unless reductions
were made in every branch of our expenditure in whick it
was possible to met! them. On looking at the paper
• which had been that day presented to the House, it ap-
peared that the surplus of income above expenditure was
1,132,226/., while the amount paid on account of the
army and navy pensions /vas 2,600,000/. ; but the fact
was, that looking at the issue of Exchequer Bills in the
last year, and the money borrowed to pay the dead weight,
there was a real deficiency of between four and five millions.
There was a Sinking Fund it was true, but how was it
made up ? Not by a surplus of revenue, but by borrowing,
thus snaking it a permanent charge upon the consolidated
fund. Some time ago, we had borrowed money to pay
off Exchequer Bills, but a large part of the sum thus raised
went to the service of the year. In 1826 we had bor-
rowed money to pay off Exchequer Bills, and in 1827
we raised money by Exchequer Bills to purchase part of
the public debt, to snake a sinking fund. The whole of
this system might be summed up thus :—that we had ex-
pended 5,000,000/. to snake up a sinking fund, and we
had nu alternative now but to abolish the fund, or to
raise taxes to that amount, in order to support it. But
would the country, he begged to ask, bear to be taxed to
that amount, oppressed as it now was with such a load of
taxation ?

Mr. WOOD complained of the want of clearness in the
accounts laid before the House. He thought that any two
bankers' clerks, who were well acquainted with bunines,
could put the accounts before the House in a shape in which
they could be understood. At present they were nearly

Mr. IitIME did not know whether be might hope for a
better mode of keeping the accounts, but there was no-
thing to which the Finance Committee could turn their
attention more to be desired than an improvemeat in that
respect.

Mr. DAWSON said, that if the Hon. Member who
spoke of the excess of income above expenditure of
1,132,2261., and who had asked how the sinking fund
could be made out of that sum, would look to the other
items, he would find that there was, on the sth of Jan.
1827, a balance in the Exchequer of 5,119,555/., which,
with the surplus of 1,132,2261., made a stint of six mil-
lions and nearly three hundred thousand pounds, bat of
which 5,000,0001. were to be applicable to the sinking
fund.

Mr. MABERLY observed, that the sinking fund, as it
was now constituted, was unintelligible to persons not ac-
quainted with the principle on which it rested. The
amount of sinking fund was now fixed at 5,000,0001.,
which must be provided whether there happened to be an
excess of income to that amount or not. As the act stood,
it was imperative to make good that sum as a sinking fund,
even should there be a deficiency of revenue to that amount.
In the present year it was made up by a balance of income
of 1,132,2261., and the remainder by an issue of Exche-
quer Bills. This was not the fault of the Ministry, but
the fault of Parliament itself, which said that there should
be a sinking fund of that amount, without reference to any
excess of income. Parliament decreed that there should be
an extinction of the debt, to the amount of .5,000,000/.
annually; and ytA 14 days after that it departed from that
principle by voting a permanent charge of 2,800,000/. to-
wards paying the army and navy pcasions.—(Hear.)—He
had no doubt, however, that the present year would be the
last of the continuance of chat arrangement. The last in-
stalment would be paid in July, and it would then, if not
before, be for Parliament to consider whether the Act should
not be repealed; for if it continued we should lose 2,000,0001.
of income in 1829.

Sir J. WROTTESLEY said, that the sum set down as
received from the trustees of nava! and military pensions
was 4,245,000/. ; but of. this there was paid them
2,800,0001., so that the difference may be said to be so
much borrowed. It was absurd to talk of a sinking-fund
when it was made up bj issues of Exchequer Bills, as was
the case at present.
Mr. HUSKISSON rose for the purpose of recalling the
attention of the committee to the vote immediately before
it. The Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. 'Moberly) was
correct in what he said about the sinking fund's being pay-
able out of the consolidated fund, whether there was or was
not an excess of income above expenditure. As to the
other subject of the lion. Member's remark—the army
and navy pensions—it was true that the last instalment
would be paid in July next, an 4 it would be for the finance
committee to consider that as well as other branches of
our expenditure. The subject would come more pro-
perly for consideration in the appointment of the finance
committee on Friday next, and he trusted that at present
Hon. Members would confine themselves to the vote then
before the committee. He thought there was nothing ex-
traordinary in the vote now asked, as it was usual to
give Ministers credit for a vote of this kind on their re-
sponsibility. The increase of our naval force this year

beyond that of last, was not a subject for the consideration
of a Finance Committee, and therefore he wished Hon.
Members to understand, that no delay of the present vote
could be necessary on that account. Having said thus
much as to the vote before the Committee, he would only
add, that whenever the subject of the Treaty referred to
should come before the House, he would be reatly to defend
its policy. As to the increase of our naval force, it should
be recollected that the piracies in the Mediterranean had
rendered such an increase necessary; long before the Treaty
in question was in existence.
Mr. MABERLY was disposed to give Ministers hia con-
fidence for the vote called for, if any statement had been
been made; but the fact was, there was no statement
on which that confidence could be founded, and it was in
consequence of the want of such statement he had opposed
the Committee. As to the Treaty, he did not think it at
all justifiable, for he looked upon it as a downright inter-
ference in the internal affairs of a State.
Mr. PEEL thought the present was not the proper oc-
casion for discussing such topics as the Hon. Member
alluded to.
Mr. MABERLY (across the table) complained, as we
understood, that an earlier opportunity had not been given.
Mr. PEEL repeated his former observation as to the
motion for the Finance Committee.
Sir M. W. RIDLEY concurred with the Right Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. Huskisson) in thinking that the Finance
Committee was not the proper place to regulate the amount
of our army and navy. The thing was quite impossible.
Mr. WOOD repeated his objection to the irregular man-
ner in which the accounts were prepared.
Mr. HUME said, that the Right Hon. Secretary for the
Colonies had stated, that Ministers only were responsible
for the establishments of the country, and that the Com •
mittee of Finance about to be appointed would have no-
thing whatever to du with them. If so, it behoved the
country and the House to watch the formation of that
Committee with a jealous eye.
Mr. HUSKISSON confessed be had stated that it was
the duty of Ministers, subject to their responsibility, to
propose to the House the amount of the establishments
which they considered necessary for the defence and secu-
rity of the country, and that .he did not conceive it was
within the province of a Committee of Finance to inter-
fere on that point. The Hon. Member for Newcastle (Sir
M. W. Ridley) had concurred with him in that opinion.
Mr. MABERLY said, that if a Committee of Finance
was to be appointed merely for the purpose of examining
accounts, the proceedings would he a farce.
The Committee then divided, when there appeared,

Majority ' SS
Sir G. COCKBURN then moved th7t the sum of
1,579,000/. be granted to his Majesty for paying and vic-
tualling the seamen mentioned in the vote just passed.
Mr. HUME addressed the Committee, but in conse•
quence of the noise occasioned by the entrance of strangers
into the gallery, he was very indistinctly heard. We nu-
derstood him to complain, in strong terms, of this attempt
to vote money, without notice having been given.
Mr. Fl USKISSON was completely lost in astonishment
at what had fallen from the Hon. Member for Aberdeen,
and if it had not been his fortune to have heard the Hon.
Gentleman very frequently before, and especially in Com-
mittees of Supply, be should have imagined that he was some
young Member addressing the House for the first time. Did
the Hon. Meniber know so little of the history of Parlia-
ment, of the Constitution, of the Country, or of the charac-
ter of Committees of Supply, as not to know, that if there were
millions in the Exchequer, they could not he touched without
a grant in a Committee of Supply? The Hon. Member
could not be acquainted with, lie might say, the mere
a, b, c, of the process of supply, if he did not know that
without a specific grant by a Committee of Supply no
money could be taken from the Exchequer. The Hon.
Member had already found out the secret of giving a supply
without a vote, and if he found out the secret of giving-
wages and victuals without a vote, he would have made
two grand discoveries, and in one evening.--(Laughter.)
Mr. HUME said, that some people, unfortunately, were
very dull of eomprehension.—(A laugh and hear.) The
Committee had only received notice that a vote of seamen
would be moved for, and now they were called upon to
grant money for their support, which was decidedly con-
trary to the practice of Parliament.
Mr. HUSKISSON undertook to say, that ever since the
House of Commons had voted the wages and victuals of
seamen, it had done so in precisely the same terms as those
which the Hou. Member now asserted to be so regular.
Mr. CROKER said, that the vote had been framed in
the same manner as at present for the last 19 years.
Mr. HUME still maintained, that as no notice had been
given on the face of the papers to vote money for wages,
the doing so was irregular. He also complained of the
cavalier manner in which he bad been treated by the Right
Hun. Gentleman opposite.
Mr. CROKER repeated, that the vote as it stood always
meant the wages and victuals of seamen.
Mr. Alderman WOOD said, that when he heard the
a, b, c, spoken of, he concluded that he was in a commit-
tee of education.--(A laugh.)—ln his opinion, the man-
ner of promising the vote ought to be changed. He
was glad to see the Right Hon. Member for Liverpool back
in his place. The country expected much from him and
the country would not be satisfied if he did not satisfy it.--
(Great laughter.)—He (Mr. Alderman Wood) had never
changed his seat, and would always continue his exertions
to effect a reduction of taxation. It was hard upon the
Hon. Member for Aberdeen to tell him that he did not

know his a, b, c. He was sure that the Hon. Member did

know his letters.—(A laugh. 3—He meant so far as regard-
ed taxation, for he knew nothing of the Hon. Member's
grammatical learning.—(Continued laughter.)
Mr. HUME was not to be put down by such observa-
tions as bad been addressed to him that night. If person-
alities were resorted to, he could retaliate. He still
thought the motion improper.
Mr. PEEL said, that no person in the House abstained
from personalities more than the Hon. Member, and it
would be unfair to observe a different line of conduct towards
him.

Mr. 'MABERLY understood that 50,000 jackets,
ordered for the supply of the name'', had recently been
sold at a loss of 35 per cent. under the original cost.
Some explanation of this transaction ought to be given.
Sir G. COCKBURN said, that the jackets were sold
by order of his Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral,
upon its being represented to him that the sailors objected
to wear them, because they considered them badly made,
and bought others, at an exorbitant price, from Jews and
slop-sellers. Twelve shillings had been given for jackets
which preyed not worth three. It was considered expe-
dient that a general examination of the naval wardrobe
should be entered into, and the result had been a material
improvement in the condition of the garments, and a saving
in point of expenditure. A clothier at Portsmouth now
supplied superior jackets for Ns. than those which they
had bean wearing at an enormous increase of expense.
Mr. MABERLY wished to know the manner in which
the cast-off wardrobe had been disposed of.
Sir G. COCKBURN said, that the jackets, on being
considerell disreputable for sailors to wear, and unfit fur
service, were put to sale, b,' that a large stock certainly
still remained on hand.

Mr. MABERLY thought that a thorough investiga-
tion ought to be imtituted respecting the whole transaction.
Sir G. COCKBURN begged to be understood as not
having intended to convey the slightest reflection on the
Naval Board. He meant clearly to intimate that no per-
son would give inure than 3s. for those articles, when
guided by his opinion of their value; but, if obliged to pur-
chase them, he must give the price demanded.
Mr. HUME was of opinion that a new light had been
thrown on this clothing contract by what had fallen that
night from the Hon. and Gallant Member on the subject.
It seemed to him a very curious circumstance that the de-
ficient state of the naval wardrobe should have struck the
attention of the Lord High Admiral, and no one else. He
thought it a dereliction of duty in the Lord High Admiral
not to have suffered the sailors to wear those garments
which they had been so long ❑sing till the existing stock
had been worn out, when new ones of another quality
could be purchased and supplied.
Mr. J. W. CROKER wished to offer one word in ex-
planation to the Hon. Member for Aberdeen. It had been
thought by the Naval Board that clothes ought to be pur-
chased fur the seamen as cheap as possible, since they paid
for them out of their own earnings. On this principle they
acted, until it was found that those cheap articles were re-
' jetted and disliked by the seamen, who invariably applied
for those of a better texture and superior quality. As to
the stock now on hand, he believed it to be exaggerated.
Mr. MABERLY observed, that whatever might have
been the quantity of cast off raiment at the period of the al-
teration, it was notorious that it was still on sale.
Sir G. COCKBURN was ready to inset the Hon. Mem-
ber in that House, should he be disposed to bring the
measure forward for examination.
Mr. HUME thought that the Gallant Member did not
seem perfectly aware that he had thrown reflection on some
quarter. What were they to think of the Admiral who
had so long suffered the seamen to wear what was a dis-
grace to them ?
Sir G. COCKBURN had frequently seen materials from
such slop houses of a very inferior nature in the Navy.
He, as the House was aware, spent more of his time in
London than elsewhere. However, it was but on the lag
visitation that they had seen bad articles of apparel, and 1

after their return they had sent, in consequence, for the
naval pattern jacket, which, on inspection, was changed.
It would have been hard and ungenerous to compel the
seamen to expend the oh] stock, which could not be
done in less than a year, to their very great discomfort.
Mr. :MABERLir thought it rather strange that the
Gallant Officer should have been struck so suddenly with
this deficiency when in company with the Lord High
Admiral, although, from his many opportunities, he might
have had frequent occasion to notice it before. Such a
defect must have been tolerably obvious.
Sir G. COCKBURN exculpated himself from any share
of such an imputation, by the fact of his having referred
the matter to a Committee immediately on his perceiving
it himself.

Mr. Alderman WOOD expressed! his conviction that
the public in this instance bad been charged much more
than was necessary.

ferior thing which
Mr. WOOD (Member for Preston) had every wish that
due attention should be paid to the comforts of the sailors;
to measures for that purpose he was far from objecting. But if contractors were so fraudulent as to furnish clothes
of an inferior description to the sample they ha I presented,
why did not the Admiral prosecute those contractors ?

thielt 'night so
happen that a charge of I Is. 6d. would be made for a
e
jacket not worth 3s. if duly valued. Yet, for such a
jacket, it was not likely that a sailor would give 9s. vt the
least. He (Sir G. Cockburn) was very willing to ftoduee
to the House, if necessary, one of those jackets. It should
he presented to every Honourable Member, and he was
confident they would agree in estimating it at a very low
rate. It had been remarked during the evening as a
matter of surprise, that these evils should have so lung
existed. He, however, could assure those Hon. Gentle-
men who expressed such a feeling, that it was not altoge-
ther so easy a matter as they might imagine, to reform all
at once abuses of such a nature as the present. He had
himself been the means of introducing many improve-
ments ; and much, notwithstanding, which would need a
remedy, remained. Sir George Cockburn ended by stat-
ing (in reply to a question from Mr. Moberly) that ap
hundred jackets had been ordered to be mach) for trial.
As the question was about being put,

Mr. HUMS demanded that as exact detail of the man-
ner in which the present sum was to be disposed of, should
be given before the passing of the vote.
Sir G. COCKBURN replied that it would be impossible
to comply with his desire at present.
The question was then put and carried, after which, the
Speaker having agaiu taken his seat, the House resumed.
Sir A. GRANT moved that the report of the Commit-
tee of Supply should he hr ought up.

Here Sir G. COCKBURN expressed his hope to Mr.

negative.
Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition on- the subject of flu

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12, 182 S.

The debate last night, in the House of Commons, waz-
not without interest, as it evinced a constitutional jealousy
respecting the minutiae of Estimates, which, we trust,
will never again fall asleep under any Govern•
ment ; but the proceedings in the House of Lords were
far more important, as containing an explanation of the
circumstances which Jed to the dissolution of the late
Ministry, and the adherence of some of ' its Mem-
bers to the present Administration. By the want of space,
and in the absence of that explanation which Mr. Humus-
SON will no doubt furnish, we are at present prevented
from entering into any lengthened observations on the
speeches of the Noble Lords who addressed the House ;
but we would especially direct attention to the able and
spirited defence of Lord DUDLEY, in reply to the charge.,
advanced by the Marquis of CLANRICARDE.

We were not a little surprised at a second paragraph
which appeared in the Times to-day, stating that it was
the courier with Mr. Ronisctritn's express, who dislo-
cated his shoulder on the way to Boulogne, on Tuesday last.
It is impossible that a Paper which has invariably given us
credit for our exertions, should wilfully or invidiously mis-
state the fact; and we have, therefore, to repeat, on th,
authority of our highly respectable Agent at Dover, that the
misfortune happened to the courier bearing our Express.
The fact is in itself immaterial, our merit being, of course,
confined to the circumstance of having exclusively given tb'
