THE MARQUESS CAMDEN.

The Earl of LtvErpocit. rose to mope the se-
cond reading of the Bill for appropriating- 'to the
public service, the very large portion of his emo-
Ittmetms as a eiler,of the Exchequer, voluntarily
telinquislien by the above' distinguished Noble-
man. 'llte Noble Minister, on introducing his
motion, described to tlm.ir Lordships time rircinn-
,itances which Lave rise to the measure now before
them and tivtai.leti the sacrifices made from time
to time by the Mary mess Camden, of different pro-
portions of his emokmonis, since the year 1798,
lint] the period of his proposing that his office
should be placed otr the reduced footing of the
e‘gidated Telierships of the Exchequer, which in,
'the whole he was certain were not over-rated at
an aggregate of not less ihan 100.0001. lo the
nurse of these expositiops, the Nobl! Minister
profmunced an eloquent culogium on the unpa-
rallrled patriotism and disinterestedness of the
MArquess Camden's conduct on the occasion.—
B,Aore he sat down he could not avoid, he said,
wiverting to the very tlisinterested conduct of a late
Noble Marquess (Buckingham) who held-a similar
Office, and who had asted with respect to his Tel-
lership also in a most noble and disinterested
manner. The saciifices made by that Noble Mar-
may well he calculated at not less than
40.0001. lie then moved, " That the Bill be read
a second time."

1 he Marquess of LAN;DOWNI3 took the oppor-
tunity of rendering his tribute of applause, and
•that of the Noble Lords at his side of the House,
to the very disinterested and patriotic conduct 'of
the Noble Marquesses in question, which he trust-
ee, by affording such striking examples of public
and liberality, would in its effects prove still
wore advantageons to the country.
Ihe Big was then read the second time, and
committed for to-morrow.

THE BRITISH NAVY.
The Earl of DARNLEY rose to call the attention
of the House to certain Papers then on the table,
relative to the Suite of the Navy; but his Lord-
ship s;u in 'so low a tone of voice, that very
little could be heard of what he said. He ob-
servefl, that erect improvements had thken place
i'n the construction of our ships of war, and we
TIOW had a very efficient naval force. But it was
proper that we should look to the pilobability of
another war. America was now constructing a
navy on a very iniproved scale, and it was found
n-cessary to hoild ships in this country similar to
:heirs ; it would not be advisable to
too many ships' of that description-j---he
rip-anc two deckers ; and, would rather recommend
that more attention should he raid to the building
of three-deckers. There was another point to
which he wished to call the atteotiou of .the
House. He thought it would be highly proper
to. pay some attention. to the state Of that most
useful and meritorious corps, the Royal Marines,
whose services had not been sufficiently attended
to. concluded with moving, that the Papers
on the table be printed.

Lord MaLvaLF, agreed, that it was our duty at
all thnes to be prepared with a Navy ready to
meet eve►y exigency, and that it was.not neces-
sary to construct our vessels according to those of
America. It would not he fit to construct such
a class of frigates as those in America, be-
cause it would be incovenient to send such fri-
gates on distant voyages for the protection of
trade. With respect to the Royal Marines, he
was ready to acknowledge everything that had
been said, in their praise, and that no body of
men bad ever behaved theo!selves with more
bravery. It was a great mistake., however, to
suppose that their interests had been neglected,
or that they were on a reduced scale. Their
number at present was 4500, being upwards of
2000 more than it had been formerly..
After a few words in the way of explanation,
front the Earl of DARNLIZY, the motion was agreed
to by the House,
REPEAL OF THE TEST ACTS.

The Order of the Day upon which their Lord-
ships were summoned being read,
Earl GREY rose.—He observed, that atter what
be bad stated as to the nature and object of the
proposition now before the House, the extreme
reasonableness of its object, and the way in which
it haul been adverted to in runner discussions, be
had flattered himself that it would not now meet
with any serious or determined resistance, espe-
cially as he must contend, that the Apestion re-
ferred merely to dogmatical opinions or specula-
tive doctrines. It now became necessary for him
to address their Lordships at greater length upon
the subject. The BuIF before them went to the,
abrogation of the Acts of the 25th sod 30th of
