ety the opinion of Government on such an unplea-

A Court Martial was held from the 28th ult. to the
SOth, for the trial of the Captain, Officers, &c. for
the loss of his Majesty's ship Banterer, which was
,Wrei..ked in the.month of November in the River St.
Lawrence, on her passage to Quebec. The
.Court
“wat of opinion, -that the loss of the ship was occa-
sinned by the lead not being kept going. The Mas-
ter :was severely reprimanded ; and the Second Lieu-
tenant dismissed the service, in consequence of it ap-
pearing in evidence that he had quitted the deck dur-
ing his watch, for a short time, and the ship having
struck in the same watch. The Captain and other
viricatiOre acquitted. -

NAVAL REVISION. •
Sir CHARLES POLE rose, pursuant to notice,
to move a resolution relative to the Navy Victualling
Office, founded upon the Reports of the Commis-
sioners of Naval Revision. The Honourable Baronet
paid the highest compliments to the ability and veal
of the persons who composed that Board—and the
object of his Resolution was, to secure a compliance
with their recommendation They had said, that none
but persons of unquestionable ability, integrity, pro-
fessional knowledge, and unwearied industry, ought
to be appointed to the situation of Commissioners cf
the Victualling Office. Considering the great num-
ber of very old accounts which had remained unli-
quidated ; the arrears of debt, and the ability and
application necessary to remedy these defects, and to
• prevent their recurrence, he thought that somethit;g
of this sort was due to the public, who were at pretteat
so heavily burthened. The Honourable Baronet con-
cluded by moving, nearly in the words of the Report,n
" That it was the opinion of the House, that one
but persons of unquestionable ability, prefessional
knowledge, and unwearied industry, ought to be ap-
pointed to the situation of Commissioners of the Vic-
tualling Office; and that unless this principle • :as
acted on, the pubic„ service would be essentially in-
jured."
Mr. WARD spoke at considerable length in reply.
He said the Resolution was a truism, and that it
could have no meaning, except it was intended as a
reflection on the e.resent Admiralty Board. The
Jionour tole Member then dwelt on the merits of the
Admiralty Board which had succeeded in effecting
these rlotms in the Victualling Office, which had
Veen re.emmended long ago, but had never been car-
ried int t execution till the present Board was formed.
He e:mdeci the Board for the dismission of Mr.
Ma; and Mr. Budd,'on the ground that •the former
was inc :pacitated by age and the other trom ill health,
