BENGAL MILITARY FUND.

MILITIA ARTILLERY.

The Earl of SHAFTESBUR Y begged to ask a question
of the noble earl the Under-Secretary for War, the nature
of which he had given him notice. A very general rumour
prevailed that the whole of the militia artillery was to be dis-
embodied, and he begged to ask if such a rumour was cor-
rect ?
The Earl of RIPON said the rumour was certainly not
true to the extent the noble earl had stated. It was intended
to disembody four of the regiments, but it was not intended
to carry out the disembodiment his year. It was, how-
ever, intended to carry the disembodiment on so that, by
the time the act expired next year, the whole would be dis-
charged.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH asked whether it was
intended to reduce the strength of the Royal Artillery. He
had heard such was the intention of the Government, and
he thought such a step was very unwise at the present mo-
ment.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said there was no truth in
the report of a reduction of the strength of the Royal Ar-
tillery.
The Earl of MALMESBURY did not quite under-
stand the noble lord the Under - Secretary for
War. lie did not think the Government would exercise
very great prudence if they thought they could rely on the
volunteers. However much he valued their patriotic spirit,
he did not think they could be compared for efficiency with
either the line or the militia.

Earl GREY said it would be a great mistake to reduce
the strength of the Royal Artillery.
The Earl of RIPON said that in the course of next year
the act under which the militia were embodied would ex-
pire, and the Government did not think it would be expe-
dient to renew it.

The subject then dropped.
NICE AND SAVOY.

The Marquis of NORMANDY said. ho intended that
evening to have given notice of a resolution on this sub-
ject ; but in consequence of the declaration of a noble lord
of the danger of such discussions, he shouldfor the present
abstain from carrying out his intention • but on another
occasion ho should most certainly do so, believing that the
view of the question be entertained was The correct one.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said Inc did not intend to
enter into a discussion of the resolution the noble marquis
had given notice some day or other to move. lie rose
for the purpose of complaining of a personal
imputation on his noble friend the Lord President of the
Council, whom the noble marquis sai d had returned an
evasive answer to a question respectfully put to him on the
affairs of Savoy.
The Marquis of NORMANBY said Ito did not intend to
make any personal imputation on the noble earl.
