THE HOUSEHOLD TROOPS.

Mr. O'BEIRNE asked the Secretary of State for War
whether any, and, if any, what compensation had been
given or offered to those medical officers of the brigade of
Guards whose prospects of promotion were interfered with
by the warrant signed in 1860, but which warrant was not
promulgated until 1866 ?
SirJ. PAKINGT ON said he had received no applications
for compensation, and he did not see there wore any
grounds for such being paid.
THE KNIGHTSBRIDGE BARRACKS.
In reply to Mr. Low;

Sir J. PAKINGTON said no stops would ba taken in
the rebuilding of the barracks at Knightsbridge until
after Parliament had assembled next session.
THE HYDE PARK REVIEW.

Mr. LUSK asked the First Comniissioner of Works
whether the large wooden erection in Hyde Park had been
taken down by his orders ; and if he would state the cost
of that erection and its removal ; and further, if he would
inform the house from what fund voted by Parliament the
cost would be defrayed ?
Lord J. MANNERS said the galleries had been re-
moved by his orders, in consequence of a communication
from the War-office. The cost of such removal would
amount to £2,180, which would bo defrayed out of the
vote to bo taken for civil contingencies.

THE SNIDER RIFLE.

In roply to Major WALKER,

Sir J. PAKINGTON said ho did not think it would be
possible to supply the militia with the Snider rifle in time
for training in the year 1868.

THE REVIEW AT WIMBLEDON.

In reply to Lord ELclio,

The CHANCELLOR of. the EXCHEQUER said that,
in consequence of the representati ns of the noble lord
with respect to the review at Wimbledon, on which occa-
sion a visit was anticipztted by the Sultan, ho would
consult his colleagues as to whether it was possible to
give the volunteers in the Civil Service a holiday on
Saturday next.
THE NAVAL REVIEW.

Colonel KNOX asked for information with respect to
the distribution of tickets for the approaching naval re-
view. Us had applied for one, and had been told
that his application had come too late. From
what had come to his knowledge, he believed
that 200 members of Parliament would go to the review,
and the rest of the persons on board the Ripon would be
unconnected with the house for whose entertainment the
country would be called upon to pay. He thought the
distribution of the tickets had b3en most unsatisfactory,
and ho should like to know to whom they had been dis-
tributed.

Mr. CORRY said notice was affixed to the doors of the
house that no applications for tickets would be enter-
tained after the Bth of July. On that day only about 230
applications had been made, and as the number of
tickets proposed in the first instance to be allotted
to the members of the house was 450, it was then
thought that ladies might be thought of, and accordinglya
second ticket was delivered to those who applied. After the
date he had mentioned a great interest attached to the re-
view, and demands for tickets became very numerous. It
was afterwards determined to issue some additional tickets,
and, in addition to the 50 to be accommodated on board
the Ripon, .50 would be provided for on board the China.
It was absolutely necessary to - fix a time, after which no
applications for tickets would be received, in order that
arrangements might be perfected with the railway.
Mr. B. OSBORNE hoped that some arrangements would
be made to prevent anything like that which occurred at
Hounslow the other day. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. CORRY said he would not be answerable for any
accident to machinery.
Mr. B. OSBORNE meant victuals, &c. (Laughter.)
Mr. CURRY said luncheon would be provided on board
the vessel, in addition to which there would be sherry,
beer, and brandy. (Laughter.)
