It will be observed that the number of young men
brought forward for the Engineers was fewer on this oc-

training to fit them for the Engineers, and recommended
that they should be allowed to present themselves again
for examination in March next, when it would be finally
determined to what class they should be assigned.

also met with great approbation.
