THE TIPPERARY MILITIA AND THE ARTILLERY.
Lord DONOUGHMORE, in calling attention to the mo-
pe's' for farming a brigade of Royal Artillery oat of the 75p-
paltry regiment of militia, Mated that the suggestion that
the officers in that regiment should hold commissions in the
Royal Artillery had not emanated from him, but from the
secretery.at-war. His own proposal was that the officers
should receive commissions in the line. While he regretted
that the public promises of the government had not been
strictly performed, he made every allowance for the diffi-
culties of the secretary-at-war, and hoped that he would
find it not too late even now to amend. _ _

Lord HERBERT of LEA said that he had sow beard
for the first tree that Lord Deacieglusiore had not aa
plated that the abseil of thengfentr7Militia

perhaps, was due to a mistake on hie part. arising frig an
ambiguous phrase in glitter of Lord Donoughmore sib the
subject—a mistake which was also shared by the Com-
manderds-Cbief, who, ha the matter being mentioned to
him, doubted whether it were possible to triumifer
the officers to the Royal Artillery. As for the
plan itself, be believid that be might he justifiet la
entertaining such • pyopositioa is eases of NMl-
gooey. Such, however, was not the case at present,
as the English army in every branch bad never been mere
complete. He did not: therefore, thick it would have bean
fair to create dissatisfeeppn among the officers of the Regal
Artillery, who bad oliiitited their commissioos by dint ed
hard study and the 8410 of a strict examination, by ap-
pointing officers who padergone no such trial. 'Hi
frankly owned that in t case he had made a blunder, but
he preferred making that fonfession to injuring the piddle
service by persistency, Wags mistake. In conclusion-he
passed a high eulogy og the exemplary way in which the
officers of the Tipp@rlry artillery bad borne their disap-
pointment, and obwerwM that he bad dens his begot
gate it by offering tholuttorks would accept them
siona in the line.
The Duke of CAbligtIDGE felt it his duty to share tall
responsibility in the predict matter with the Seers el
State for Wu, and explained on what grounds Its bad
come to the conclusion that it would be expedient to
WO or 700 trained am sise the public service by giving calk
missions in the Royal rho" to As He INKY

600 or 700 artillerymen. 0E highest character in the
present disturbed state oltE and the world. He begged,
to suggest to the govsrumenh it was never too lots to

Lord GREY could not agree with LordEllenborough, but
hoped that this affair Wald warn the government from
withdrawing the militia 'from its ordinary and recognised
functions.
