§ MR. JACKSONsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary of the Admiralty when the promised Return of the cost of Her Majesty's Ships during the past financial year will be laid on the Table?
§ LORD CLARENCE PAGETsaid, he had that day laid the Return on the Table. It was not so complete in details as he could have wished; but he trusted that it would be taken as an earnest of the desire of the Admiralty to afford all the information in their power on this important subject, and he had no doubt that nest year the Return would contain more extensive details.
§ MR. JACKSONsaid, he would beg to know when the Navy Estimates will be taken in Committee of Supply,
§ LORD CLARENCE PAGETThat will depend on the state of public business.
