§ SIR JOHN PAKINGTON,who had given notice to ask the Secretary of the Admiralty what is the present state of the arrangements, so far as the Admiralty are concerned, for establishing a School of Naval Architecture, said, he need not trouble the House long upon this Question, as full explanations had been already offered on the subject. He understood that the Department of Science and Art would exercise control over the proposed School, and he earnestly hoped that the intended arrangements would conduce to harmonious action between the directors of that department and the naval authorities and the mercantile marine. He should like to know, however, Whether the Board of Admiralty would object, now that the School was to be established at Kensington, to the removal of the naval models from the site they now occupied at Somerset House, to the school of Naval Architecture at Kensington? These models would form an appropriate part of the new institution, and would, he believed, be productive of beneficial results both to the Royal Navy and to the mercantile marine. Perhaps his noble Friend might not be able to give him an immediate answer, but he earnestly hoped that this would be done.
