Under any farm d go. rament the officers of the army of India would be re cruited, ea they were at resent, from the middle deem of England, Lut as regarded Ibe upper classes% there was great dryer of abuse; than was great danger that whet ha pallet appointments hod to be med., on,ers who had mined all thew line is litho would be superseded by m adams from Ennead. If that were the case, the NNW, of the Indian army would certainly sugar. He hoped, there fore, that that part of the eutroct would be thoroughly dis eased in Pm liftmen, anti that some precautionary mea sures would be adopted ea a security ohm. 'lbis d.ng,v was not s constitutional one, tot me that threatened the liberties of this country, bat in elation to the future cottlitioa of the Indian army it darter) the gravest consideration. Then were other evil* of a st:IIIIVT O formidable eherseter alluded to in the petition; they w-re the evils of patty intiusace and direct parliemen• tan mit. n brought to bear on the stairs of lade, and the preaerre on the ministry of the day of clue inductive and time lotted tiro. He considered these dangers of vital im ports& e, and he earnestly hoped that any measure which salght be proposed I', tho rotors government of India would inclode specific repletion, thst bead. Such evils could only ha called late salvo operation through the chief Innate being oath* independent cf say meracill. So long ea then was a I council with whom it w rem- Hal that he should set, the., evil., it net en tirely removed would at all events be kept under mattrel. He might be asked why, when the annosty sad other proesedhogs were! to have • merely temporery sad local operatma, he *droned an organic sad parte& ant (Maw? Now, is the fire peer he ergardad the paci fication of India as a question of paramouat importaace. He doubted whether then would be say copse &asp. There would be no alteredemos they all knew, In the dividends as the dock. The proprietors Wild lose the right to speak in that place ; but, if he neigh. julep from the esepdasse of the heaths, an ordinary ixessioas, that was • the which was not much valued. They might else lam privilege of electing directors, but that was • right which had already:hoes partially invaded, and whithwould naturally eapire on the payment oil of the Indium sleek in 1874. Titers would assn be a recasting of the machinery of patronage • but the elements to be worked upon would, as it appeared to him, remain the same , the army would continuo to be recruited front the riatchlle clew, and popular rights would Le re elected. So tar as the machinery of the home government was evateneed, he believed tare would be an INPrONIINOt se hr sa the tardithery of government in India wee am reramd, he behoved there would be no chap, or, at ell ants, no menial chimp The peat rearm hr was, that it war desirable that aloe • certain bee= past, the ircemikable put, should be condoned, and the auger of the anion la India commence from a sew plat.

(Cheers) Aa regarded thu employment of SINUS vessel., the directors had, in the first imams, to escartais whether there were sufficient mils of coals a the different stations to supply the vessels ea their voyage; it aim manifest that moles that was too cm seam name would not arrive At their destination as soon as clipper weeds. It was known that soma clipper vessels had armed in Agenda in Col day., and other. in about 70 days; and, will, such tacts before them, and considering that the smarm was one whes the weather was geserally fevourabls, he did sot think either th, company or the government ware to blame for determining to send nut • portion of the troops in sailing reseals. Hornet er, let them look the result. Since the first week in October regiment after regiment had poured into Calcutta, with each rapidity that the mina forwarding His troupe up the country as S arrived were insufficient. Under the bleeds( of upwards of 30,600 men had landed in India, it was acknowledged Ly their officiate that there had brim the utmost care and consideration to pr,tiding for their waste and comfort.

THE EXPRESS. THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 28, 1858. He (Captain Shepherd) admitted that after the storm had pee down, and the passions of the natives had been stayed, it might be desirable to introduce some change; but to inaugurate a change amid a reign of terror appeared to him a most evreordinary proceeding. When the meeting hid been pat down, it might be advisable to proclaim an amnesty, end send out • harbinger of peace from this country ' • though he morn say that that was • point on w hi c h h e felt very doubtful. (Hear, hear.) As regarded the aspersions cast urn the Bast India Co m p any in reference to religion, he neat say he thought the public had been greatly misled. (Hkar, beer. )) The Company bad been seamed of having Iffieurid Wit religion of baying punned • timid end cowardly policy, of having endeavoured to govern India on Brahnlinieel principles, and of a variety of other things of the same kind. Now, he could not imagine that the most melons of those who eda such charges malty supposed that Loy member of the Court of Directors was so totally desti tute of Christian feeling as not to desire to see the extension of Christrnalty by all legitimate mane ; but as the governing authorities of India, as the parties who were responsible for the observance of our proclamations, our pledges, and our Fees, se the parties who were responsible even to the legislature of this country for just and equitable toleration of Fees, in India, they had found it necessary to blend more discretion with their seal than was to be found among many of those who spoke front the platforms of public meet ings. (Hear, hear.) Hs could wish that • virtue which was commended by the gracious Author of cur religion—he meant the virtue of charity , In judging others—had been more dis played, by those to whom he referred. He thought the Com pony had a right to know what were the charges which could be brought against them, or whether the government meant to legialete without any inquiry into that matter. He asked for inquiry, and he said that the wore they had of it the more Wald he be contented. The directors of the Campeau lalmed for the most pert an extensive &quaintest* with ndia, and in the transaction of their hominess they enjoyed the great advantage of not being obliged to consider how their vote, would affect their seats, or their Mende, or their party. (Hear, hear.) Again he mid that he was anxious for a thorough investigation into that question. He desired that there should be no mystery in the matter; and for his pert he should have no objection to have reporters . for the public press at all the meetings of the Court of Directors. He believed that they should then escape the misrepresenta tion from which they were at present suffering. (Cheers.) Sir F. Ct.: eat a (the deputy-chairman of the company) that although was he one of the directors nominated by the crown, be held himself to be idened in internee, feelings, and duties with the directors elected by the pmprietors. (Hear, bear.) Some persona seemed think that the bun nem of the nominated directors was to represent the home go vernment or the Board of Control ; but that had never been his view of his position, and he had never sought informa tion from the government except through the media= of that court. He heartily concurred Is the ki zrzer of the petition, although he could not to the adoption of all the arguments on pledge that prayer was founded. He ehould rather the framers of the petition had abstained from dealing with mere hypothetical cases • but at the same time be could not help feeble; that the silence preserved by the government afforded tor that course some justification. He should also say that the , petition over-stated the cern of the company in declari n g ' that no delay or inconvenience had been occasioned by the double government, became he bed seen instances in which there had taken place delays that might have wily been avoided. Those, however, were points which called not for the abolition, but for the modification of the existing system. He entirely agreed with those who maintedoed that the pre sent time was peculiarly unfitted for the proposed change. The satires of India were at present in a state of profound ex climate. They might easily be induced to tear that the overthrow of the 'Mating system of government would be ac companied by • cessation of the toleration they had hitherto enjoyed ; and it was impoadble tory what might, under such circumstances, be the result of the measure. (Heir.) It should further be remembered that the mutiny bed been got up for the purpose of overturning the existing system of government, and it would be most dangerous to give to the meditators the apparent triumph of having accomplished their object. For these reason, he pnbis cordial support to the prayer of the petition. (H ear.) Mr. B. X.NAORTEN, another director, mid he believed that whatever might have been the proximate muse of the mutiny, there could be no doubt but the mutiny was the proximate cams of the proposed measure, and he thought it email be a most perilous step to adopt such • change before W mutiny had bees suppressed. Mr. J. 11. EITZ•CMAN said he was prepared to rapport the prayer of the petition ; bat be should impress on the &actors the neesesity of giving fair pl.y to Christianity in India, if they wished to receive the support of the religions portion of the community. These prnsous did not wish for any exclu sive peeler, or any system of violent proselytism; they only 'eked that Christianity should not operate as • positive disedventage to its professors. In the province of Tinne welly them were 80,000 native Christians, and only two of that ember IMO employed in the service of the company. Mr. 81. Ctrs& expressed his concurrence in the send- Mean uttered by the last speaker. He maintained that the Bible ought le be wed in the government schools in India. It Wig now war four o'clock an adjournment of the de bate wee moved, and after • brief diecumion the adjournment took pleat to Ws day. ranked that there are many dillionities in the way, and Withe inftlion is not altogether so easy of arrange mist as some eager gentlemen might suppose. I can only thank you for coming here. The government will feel it their duty to give the utmost attention to the statement, I have reinived, and which I shall lay before me oollsegues ; sad I am not without hope that this question may be at hearth settled in a manner that may be satisfactory to all parties. Clime, hear.) Mr. A. Peft.t.spr asked whether the goverment would bring forwent a bill in the present session of parlament Lord PAL/UM/STOP( said the government had het year given their beet attention to the subject, and they had • bill nearly ready; but what might be the time at which, con &bendy with other matters, they could peopoes it, be could not at the present time take upon himself to my. They felt the importance of a measure, and were anxious to propose something which might be deemed Mr. Duiscomait, M.P., said the a tt a lMids lordship's argument awned to him to be this, that the government were anxious to have this queetion settled, but that they could not venture to pledge themselves to brie( in • maws for that purpose. They could not, tinder% ommithe the government bound to introduce a bill is the present seedaa. Lord Psuiantrox —We wish to do it. Mr. DUNCOMBE wished to ask whether, if an indep e ndent member were to introduce a measure for the total abolition of church rates within a limited period, as in the am of the corn laws end the freedom of the negroee, his lordship's go vernment would give that independent member's bill their sttpport—whather they would support the principle of such a bill on the secced readin g , leering it open to them to intro duce =oh amendments in committee as they might think proper! Lord PALMERSTON said it was found by experienoe that that was not a convenient mode of legidelka. Every mem ber must know that it was much order to carry through one's own bill than to convert another pereon'a bill into that which one would wish to make it. If we had a lair prospect in the course of the session of inerodnoing our own bill, that would be much better is our view than to endeavour to turn • bill framed an a different view into the arrangement which we should think the beet. 11T.Ttileconas said that if they Snow waits course the government would take they would then bow what to do, Lot at preemit it wee difficult to know how tome Hla bed ipp was aware that Sir W. Clay's bill had been read a tune. Lard PaLuzaavoit said that what bad taken plea with regard to that bill showed that the course of proceeding sag • voted was not calculated to advance the object in vi e w. It was not o f to eneoursgs any preen to introduce a bill with the avowed intention of having it altered in corn mitts& — Sir W. CLAY said his bill had been read a mooed time, but this was no opportunity of discussing it in committee. If they beet. had bun such an opportunity, something might ban doom Lord PALMILIUSTON maid that gentlemen must 'mow very well that mime a private member brought in • bill on • public matter on which there wee a strong difference of opinion, he was not so likely to get • day for It es the go vernment would be. Those who were against the mean= took are somehow or other to occupy the Wednesday with other matters. Mr. ALcocc, M.P., said the question was whether the government would give facilities for carrying the measure by securing • day when it would be discussed. Mr. ATZTON and that if the government wore to introduce a 0161110711, it would at last show the country what their Aim vers. 14;rtficialayrost said that with regard to that he thought ass principle it was not advisable ker a goventoreet to la a measure in • masks of parliament whioh there was a prospect of their not bang able to par to that emska—learbw It all the mat maks to be shot at by every me on either Me.

He moat, however, take that opportunity of dissenting from the view which he understood had bean put forward by Mr. Conranld In his statement, nam e ly, th a t they would be satisfied if church rates were abolished with regard to the diessaters. He believed that no solution of the question short of a total and unconditional abolition as regarded the whoa nation would be satisfactory, and he regretted that one so Influential as Mr. Courtauld, and one who bad done so mach for the cause, should have put It on any other pond, (Her.) Mr. COI7ITAULD said that he was at a los to understand why they, as diseasers, claimed a right to Interim as to the mode in whke manbers of the church communal should their ova saes and raise their own revenue.

(dear, leer.) The pomenre on the ratepayers was increasing mg day, sal men evistaally Mum a pont at which further tolerance would be inspeeible. In 1841 the amount expended for the relief of the poor was 20,0001. In 1867 the espendit m e had reeled 40 , 0001 ., being double the former mono; It might perhaps be said that the reambie value and the population bad. also lammed ; but they had not doubled. The population, which in 1841 was 83,000, had incased et the rated ons-thbd, and the meals value had increase! from 170,0001. to 210,0001., beng about the came proportion. (Hear, hear.) It had been said that the rate for the pear was a tan upon houses, and could hardly be said to touch bedividuale But that meartion was not correct. If the preemie rateable value could be fixed, and any further in creme In the amount of the rate could be prevented, there might be seneding In the argument. The rateable value was on .a lie ur ar ai t e i:cial standard. At the West- end was itself el burdens every year whilst M and the were natation. It 'was a fallacy to say that the burden was borne by paisley—lt was borne by individuals; and tradesmen probasimal DAM were obliged to best alt the perbia Merges, whilst offices reefing on pen sions, end merchants an oespeteneles, located dessoselves in those parishes when the rates amounted to little or nothing, and thee soaped the pressure Felt by other dames. (Hear, bear.) It might be said that the principle of equalisation was conceded when the poor laws were first established, and when ltwae provided that if the inhabitants of any parish were not able to levy amongst themselves sufficient sums for the relief of the poor, two justices might tax other parishes within their hundred. But that enactment was not sualcient to meet the meant state of affairs. The jostles of that pen ciple was recognised in Sir IL Peas Ae, which_ placed on the consolidated fund one half of the salaries of medical officers and schoolmasters ; and the same prin ciple had been carried out in the establishment of a voluntary rate in aid hy the _Society for Promoting the Relief Destitution in the Metropolis, and for improving the con dition of the poor pry of parochial and district visiting. The funds raised that association were applied to the eastern districts, en admission was thus made that the wealthy classes had not done their duty towards the poor. The principle of the secendly of en equalisation of the rate" was thus encoded ; but if just, the relief ought not to be voluntary, but ought to be definitively settled by law. Mr. LIDDL3, in moving the Ire resolution, said he did not appear to advocate the cause of the ratepayers so much as the cause of the sick poor. He hoped that the question would be referred to a committee of the House of Commons for the =of taking evidence on the subject, and he had no that much good would result from such an inquiry. (Hem, bear.) The unequal rating of parishes was a greet inducement tor then to endeavour to_poi rid of their pow, and the result was the building at the Westmod of manatees fur the wealthy, to the exclasion of the poor, who were thus thrown upon other parishes, and became a great burden to the !se/payers, whilst those who had received the benefit d their services when in health escaped all liability for their maintenance when they were reduced to • state of deeitntios.

The other don dams, who were pohoronestatdes, pleaded not guilty by statute . Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Cooper were conned for the plaintiff; Mr. E. James and Mr. J.

It lered that tio;plainliff is a marine stare dealer ; the ddendant, Mr. Wyld, is the =peeler at Charing_ moms, and the defendant Parrott is a clerk in his employ. In September, 1866, a number of maps were stolen. The police searched the plaintiff's house, and ultimately took him into custody, and he and a DWI named Clark wee in dicted and tried at the October session at the Old Bailey, on a charge of receiving the goods knowing them to be stolen. Clark was convicted end the plaintiff ao quitted. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Oldknow, Mr. Wyld's solicitor. The plaintiff now brought this action against Mr. Wyld, his clerk, and the police who bad acted in the ease. In the course of the plaintiff's cram-examination it appeared that he bad formerly been sentenced to two ncont imprisonment in Wandsworth House of Correction for receiving some lead knowing It to have been stolen.

Mr. E. Imam and Mr. Talfourd Salter were counsel fo the plaintiff; Mr. M. Chambers, Mr. C. E. Pollock, end Mr F. H. Lewis appeared for the defendant.

The defence was that the defendant had taken the plaintiff into his employment out of charity and had agreed to allow him only 24 a week ; he had allowed plaintiff's wife and to live at his farm, and efterwards gave them rooms in da lre-equere. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 181. COURT OF COMMON PLR/U.-UN. 27. (Bittinp fa Baum—Won Lad Chief Janice Cockburn, and Justices Wang= and Wilke.)

The Lord Chief Justice thought that if such en action should have been brought at all it was fitting to bring it in the superior court; but this armed to be an ill-founded action, and the jury, taking a sort of compassionate slew, gave the plaintiff a verdict that they thought would cerry oats, so that the costs should not fall upon the person who had awed for the *Urea.
