It '.was: eon,tituted being- either 'etiecte or
it has 11-r, 197 impo.sible. The idea' of discovering the
e, poi') ith East or North West Passage had now *come

absurd, and there tvici no 'use in keeping up useless
machinery at a great eipence to the country.
Mr. wARBURTON- iiiquired Whether tlie Bill
would be printed.
Mr. CROKER replied that there was no neces-
sity
for going to such au *expence, as the Bill only
repealed the Act coteitituting the Board of Lon-
gitude, which was to be done away with through
the report of the Finance Committee.
Mr. BARING expressed his satisfaction that,the
Board of Admireltylad attended to this subject. He
was glad that the country ITEM relieved from those ex-
periments which were attended with serious expense.
Sir J. YORK would ;be sorry if the Govern.
v i-C
tient gave up the idea f. exploring the North-west
coast of America. It appeared from Captain Frank-
lin's last journey,_ that though the north-west pas-
sage could not -be discovered, the business of ex.
ploring this coast might be made .More facile tt

travellers.
Mr: CROKER said this Act left the Govern-
ment and the country in the same state as to the
encourage.oent of geographical and scientific know-
ledge; it merely took away the stimulus to experi-
ment created by the Parliamentary reward offered.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered
to be committed for Monday.
The Supply Committee, and Ways and Means
Committee, was postponed for Monday.
