which explain the reasons for such a change ? I Graham Hay to be Lieutenant, vice Barry, promoted.

Sir J. RAMSDEN said that the alteration the hon.
gent'eman alluded to bad been under the careful consi-
deration of the Government, and was so a this time,
but that no conclusion had yet been come to.
Major SIBTHORP asked the Under Secretary for
War, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Go-
vernment to call up any of the militia .regiments for
training this year ; and if so, what regiments and at
what period
Sir J. RASISDEN said it was impossible to answer
the question until after the estimates bad been voted, for
on that depended the number of men to be called out for
training. The Government did not intend to call the
militia out until after the harvest.

the surveyors and draftsmen lately dismissed from the
Ordnance Survey Branch of the War Department,
Dublin, to which they were entitled under the Treasury
minute of 1855

Sir J. RAMSDEN said that the granting of the pen-
sions, and the time when they were granted, rested with
the Treasury.

Mr. HADFIELD moved for copies of all communi-
cations or letters that had been addressed to and re-
ceived from the Archdeacon of Salop, in the diocese of
Lichfield, by the Secretary to the Governors of Queen
Ann's Bounty, from the let day of February, 1853, to
the present time, in reference to proposed improve-
ments in the management of the Bounty-office, and
with a view to the interests of the poorer clergy ;
and of all the minutes and records of the proceedings
and resolutions that had been taken and passed thereon

CHELSEA BRIDGE
Sir J. SHELLEY asked the President of the Board of
Works when Chelsea Bridge was likely to be opened for
public traffic, whether it had been decided on that it
should be a toll•paying bridge, and, if so, after paying
the usual expenses of keeping up the bridge, what would
be done with any surplus that remained ?
Sir B. HALL said he hoped this bridge would be
opened to the public in August next. It would be a tax-
paying bridge by act of Parliament, which declared that
the proceeds should be &voted, first, in support and
maintenance of the bridge, and to pay off the cost of
construction ; and if that should be done the surplus to
be handed over to the funds for metropolitan improve-
ments.
