NAVY OFFICE CLERKS.'
Sir FRANIS aufwErr put a question to the
Minister., whether the Clerks in the Navy. Office
(who, although they had purchased their situations
from Lord Barham, had had their emoluments most
unduly eurtailed),.and to whose case he took octal
Ilion last Session to call the attention of the House,
had yet received any relief, or whether it was in.'
tended to afford the redress required? lie under.'
stood that a representation upon this subject hadi
been made from the Navy Office to the Board oft
Admiralty, and he wished 'to know what was meant
to be 4looe.in ionseouence of that representation ?
LordCASTLEREAGH expressed his regret that
he had itnot in his power to answer the Hon. Baro.
net's question, of which had he been aware, he
would have enquired after the information desired.
He had,however,no doubt that complete justice would
be done by the Admiralty upon the 'subject:—With
repect to the Hon. Baronet's allusions to Lord Bar.
ham, he relied that the Hon. Baronet did not mean
by that allusion to insinuate any charge against that
Noble Lord, who had, in the trausactioa referred
to, merely followed the established official practice,
and who was incapable of any dishonourable action.
Sir FRANCIS BURDEIT said, that he really
bad it once in contemplalion to bring forward a
ebarge against Lord Ikrhassi and he stilt thought
that no practice could justify the sale of them °Suss
—bat still less was it fistifiable, after such sale, mean•
ly to curtail the emolument of the perchasen.
LOCAL TOKENS.
Mr. GRANT asked, whether it was the intention
of Ministers to press the provisons of the Local
Token Act, and so to Inconvenience the country In
the present scarcity of silver, and the comparatively
limited distribution of Bank Tokens?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER in
reply, repeated the statement, which he said he
had submitted to the House in the course of the
discussions upon the Gold Coia gill, namely, that

although he fully approved of the principle of the
Local Token Act, it was intended to postpone the
operation of that principle for some months, he
thought outi,Htbout Midsummer, in order that mea.
sures might be taken in the interim to SUM a more
liberal supply of Bank Tokens.
