NAVAL RANK.
Sir JOSEPH YORKE said that, in the absence of other bu-
siness, he wished to ask a question of the Hon. Secretary to the
Admiralty. His question respected the usage or custom of ap-
pointing persons to the military part of the service of the Navy,
who had been before in that service, but who had afterwards
occupied an office iu the civil department? It was the usage to
give precedence to those who remained in the military depart-
ment. Ile saw the name of John Clarke Searle, Esq. placed on
the list of Rear-Admirals of the White. That Gentleman was
Chairman of the Commissioners of the Victualling Board, and
received a lalary for his services there for fourteen years.
The SPEAKER here interrupted the gallant Officer, and
wished he would put his question simply, without making any
imputations on parties absent.
Sir J. YORKE said, he did not mean to Impute anything.
lie thought it right to put a question to the Hon. Secretary
while the Speaker was iu the Chair, and before the business of
the night came on.
The SPEAK ER observed, that he did not object to the extent
to which the lion. Member was puting the question, but to the
argumentative nvmner in which he was proceeding.
Sir J. YORKE raid, that he (the Speaker) was paying a
greater compliment to his speech than he himself thought it de-
served. Ile would ask the Hon. Secretary whether, in that ap-
pointment, he was to consider the old' usage abandoned? The
Hon Ale:libel- then mentioned the cases of some who had con-
tinued in the military part of the service, and who suffered by
1 being passed by, and by having John Clarke Searle, Esq. placed

over them.
Mr. S. WORTLEY rose to order, and said that the Hon.
Member had put his question, and ought to hear the answer to
it before hr would proceed fat titer.
Sir J. YORKI said that he was much obliged to the Hon.
Member—C A laugh), but he had a right to ask not only one ques-
tion, but two or three, and he had three questions to ask—(A
laugh). It was riot only John Clarke Searle. Esq. who had been
rewarded for his services, but there was also Mrs. Euphemia
Searle, who was in the service !—(Much laughing).
Mr. CHOKER said, that if the Hon. Member would permit
him, he would answer his question. But the House would see
that it was necessary fur him to go into an explanation.
Sir JOSEPH YORKE rose to make some observations, but
was stopped.
