HARMONIUMISNICW MODEL.-CELAMILR, u %LS. mad Clit. SI. awag.mmal THE EXPRESS, TRIMS DAY EVENING, MARCH 31, 1869. the amendment of Lord Joan Rressr.L, " That, for " the guidance of this Haase in the framing of a " Bill to amend the representation of the people, it " is expedient to proceed by a series of resolutions, " affirming the principles on which each legislation " should be based, and defining with precision the " new franchises to be created, the enlargement or " extension proposed in regard to franchises now " existing, and making such farther amend " ments u may be deemed requisite." This is substantially the proposition which Mr. Rossucx suggested, with the least possible encou ragement from the Opposition, on the eve of the present discussion. The hon. member, who has so vigilantly watched the debate, and so prudently reserved his speech for its crisis, doubtless sees mush in the temper of the House propitious to a renewal of the proposition. The past mistakes and present helplessness of Ministers, the tendency of private Members to take middle courses, and the disunion of the Opposition, which was made so obvious on Friday night, all favour the revival of Mr. ROEBUCK'S original suggestion. It does not, however, follow that the easiest ooume—that which would suit the individual convenienos of the largest number of members—is the best to follow. In form, Mr. Roxatc►'s resolution is a step back wards, since it would replace the positive and practical engagement of Lord Joas Ruesr.u.'s reso lution by a pledge which is merely formal. It may be said that there is such a thing as a reeulade pour mince muter, and that in the present prospect of affairs this is the best thing that oan happen. On this point, however, we prefer to hoar what the author of the new amendment has to my be fore pronouncing a decided opinion. Thaw is a proverb, " First catch your hare," which in the present instance cannot be fulfilled without difficulty. Mr. ROEBUCK will have en op portunity of speaking before the present debate is closed, and he will probably inform the House how the resolutions which at present exist but in his mind's eye are to receive being, form, and substance, and what are the chances of obtaining efficient guardianship for them until they acquire a guaranteed existence. In the meantime it may be convenient to explain in what manner Mr. Roxnucx"e proposition will come before the Howie of Commons. At the end of the present debate, which we are expecting either on Friday or Saturday morning, the first division will decide whether the second reading shall be pat to the vote. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has moved that all the words after "that" in the original motion, " that this Bill be now read a second time," be left out, and that the words contained in his resolution may be inserted instead. So far the con tention concerns only the form in which the question shall be put. Should Lord Jortx Ruseru. Garry the first division, then, before his resolution is pat, substantive amendments like that of Mr. Rot:- BUCK may be brought forward, and the House reboot adopt the resolution now before it until they have been in some way disposed of. TIT VE which has long been foreseen is now coming to pass : England is called upon to make good the deficiencies and to rectify the growing emberrese meets of the Indian Treasury. The cloud which at one time was no bigger than a man's hand is now palpably overshadowing as. On the 13th of February the SECIETAIT of STAYS far INDIA furnished us with a eery hopeful sketch of the financial position of the Indian Government; and although the result was a request that Parliament would sanction a loan of 7,000,0001. sterling in Eng land for the service of the year 1880-130, his lord ship's statement was received with satisfaction, it beingaseumed that he was acting on sound informa tion received from Calcutta, and that the money would be almost exclusively applied to the home expenditure of the Indian Government. Bach mail that has since arrived, however, has furnished fresh evidence that Lord STANLET'S estimates were ill founded, and that the credit of the Indian Govern ment in the local markets is rapidly deteriorating, owing in no small measure to the gross and repeated blander. by which its financial policy has been marked. We will not recapitu late here the details given on a former occasion of the varying shifts to which that Government has been driven in the attempt to extort from the native capitalists an ade quate response to the open loans. The fact that it has had either one or more loans con stantly open since the year 1831 is almost sufficient of itself to deter subscribers. The monied clams, marking the successive advances made in the terms offered by the State, have not failed to infer that still higher rates might be obtained by waiting. There seems to be, in fact, no more limit to the demands than there is to the eccentricities of the Financial Department ; for the last mails from Bombay and Calcutta have brought news that, although the authorities have deferred so far to the representations of the commercial classes as to limit to five crores of rupees, or five millions sterling, the amount of their Five-and-a-Half per Cent. Loan in Promissory Notes for the year 1839-80, they have repeated the extraordinary error of offering simul taneously an unlimited amount of 4 per cent. Treasury Bills. To complete the stultification, they go out of their way to intimate that the limitation of the first-mentioned loan to five millions sterling for the year will only be adhered to in the event of no invractions to the contrary being received from home. And upon these absurdly indefinite condi tions the Indian public are expected to subscribe! Lord DERBY, however, has placed the financial involvements of the Indian Administration in a still more striking light. Lord STANLEY assured us that 7,000,000!. would be the utmost extent of his de mand upon the home money market for the sawing year. Lord DEBBY has announced that the amount required will certainly be 10,000,0001., and probably 12,000,0001. The difference is a serious one at a time when millions are in course of payment upon the capital of In dian guaranteed railway and other undertakings, and when, in consequence of the pressing embar rassments of the Indian Treasury, the Secretary has jest rushed into the market as a buyer, 4 tow! pro's, of a million's worth of silver, for shipment— at the same time proclaiming that he will want two millions more. Here the question of an Imperial guarantee once more irresistibly interposes. The English market hoe already absorbed some eight millions of Deben tures, the rate of interest on which is nominally 4 per cent., but, in reality, about 41 pee cent., taking into account the discount at which they were issued, and the obligation if the State to repay them in fire years. Are securities of the same elms to the additional and serious amount of 10,000,0001. or 12,000,0001. to be created? It is really necessary to draw attention to the aggravated difficulties threatened by this an-English policy of trusting all to the future. Ws can none of us pre tend to foretell the position of the finanme of India hence; but past axperiense shows that the which they involve bee ineresesd, year after year, up to the present date. Ice tt wise, then, to haue absolute promisee to pay such large mass at a Axed date ? Four years hence the first batch of sight millions of Indian Debentures fall repayable : what if at the date fixed in the bond the Indian Govern ment are still borrowing? If, instead of eight mil lions, there be twenty or more millions of this paper afloat, is confidence in Indian finance likely to be strengthened? And, considering that a period of two years will have entfioed for the creation of this large amount of liability, in its most inconvenient shape, what • prospect will be opened for the future ! The Indian Government are at pre sent uncertain as to the full extent of their commit ments. Lord Dea•Y refers in a grave tone to the sum which they will probably be required to pay am compensation for private lows sustained through the rebellion. By the present mail from Calcutta we learn that the " Compensation Committee" talk of a million and a half sterling. The expectation is far from general that the revenue and expenditure can be made to balance after the termination of the year 1859-60, the requirements of which arefor the moment under discussion. If the Indian Government are to go on borrowing in the home market, they must clearly knee a different class of securities from these De bentures redeemable at fixed periods, or they will hereafter rue their error, besides being com pelled to pay an immediate and considerable differ ence in price, consequent upon the limited capacity of the market for debentures. The course obviously suggested is, that the pre sent pecuniary requirement should be met by a lan bearing the Imperial guarantee. The ad vantages of this plan would be, that the money would be raised with the utmost facility, and at a gain in point of terms which would of itself be equivalent to a large sinking fund; that the uncertain future would not be saddled with heavy and inevitable liabilities, such as are involved in an issue of debentures redeemable at a fixed date; and that the new loan would not be brought into a mutually damaging competition with the existing rail way and other securities guaranteed by the Indian Government. In fact, abretthing time would be gained, in which a clearer estimate of the course of Indian finance could be arrived at ; the ever craving demands of the local Treasuries would be appeased ; and the credit of the Government in the Indian markets would be materially strengthened. As the existing embarrassments have principally arisen from an exceptional cause, they ought to be met by this exceptional remedy. We do not agree with those who despair of the future of Indian finance; for the large expenditure of the Govern ment on public works must be regarded as an invest ment promising highly remunerative result, and the remarkable increase in the internal and external commerce of India is pregnant with hope. For the time, however, an utraor dinary measure of assistance, like that conveyed in the interposition of the Imperial guarantee, is abso lutely necessary. If this course be rejected now, its adoption will, in all likelihood, be forced upon us at a by no means distant date, and under much leer favourable and dignified conditions. The value of the argument, that the obligations of the Indian Government are totally distinct from those of the Imperial Government, may be tested by consider ing the position in which the Imperial credit would stand were holders of the existing Indian Debentures to demand their money back at the date fixed, and to find the Indian Treasury empty. No matter what form of words may be introduced into the Acts sanctioning these loans, the subscribers regard them as stamped by the British nation, which could not possibly tolerate the anomaly of having its Rome Finance Minister ' solvent and its Indian Finance Minister insolvent. If, then, the liability cannot be shaken off, is it not absurd to debar ourselves from the countervailing advantage afforded by the universal appreciation of the Imperial credit ? The course suggested could not possibly be- cited as a precedent in favour of extending a similar boon to our great Colonial de pendencies, for they, unlike India, manage their own affairs, fix their own taxation, and decide upon the application of the proceeds. Great Britain has un dertaken to rule India, almost in despotic fashion, for the sake of her prestige and her commerce, and it is perfectly idle to assume that abs can shirk the contingent liabilities. Mr. Hughes, on Monday, will ask the Secretary of State for the Ilomo Depirtmeat whether "any gape have beat taken to regulate the imprisonment of pence' who are now subjected thereto by ooanty watt Weis; and, if not, whether any inconvenience would arise from rooked lag that pardon of the °raer for pawn diardplise which sob kote puttee to imprisonment in a recusant ward." In the Puliamentary votes, the amendments to Lad John Reaselfe resolution stand in the Moving ceder. —Mr. WyWe Ballot resolution; Mr. Smut Watley's rem: lake; Mr. Crook's proposition for " residential manhood suffrage ;" sad, latly, the amendment of Mr. Roebuck.

The meet was at Castle Morris, scanty of Kilkenny, and more than one hunt had taken pines, when at Corbslly, midway between Castle Morris and Curick-on-Bair, in loving a smell knee, half bank hell-wall, not much more than two feet high, the Marquis's hors, mimed its bind legs on the bank sad dropped his fore legs into a small cut on the other aide, I which threw the animal on Its knees, so that his lordship war thrown tiff on hie bead, apparently without much force or violence. He lay on his face, his huetiorcsp having a dint in the Op, but there wee no ent or bruise on the bead. On being lifted up he was placed in a sitting position, bat wee entirely unconscious., and never after spoke. He lived about ten ntiout.s, and the only sign of life given Nru that he drew up one leg end sighed. Immediately after this, however, Dr. O'Ryan, of Carrick.on-Snir, who bad been engaged in the hunt, and was immediately in attendance, pronounced life hod become extinct. Death resulted from concussion of the brain. The noble mullets dying without any issue, his vast estates descend to his brother, the Rev.

THE REVENUE. The Revenue returns for the quarter ending this day, show, u a general result, a decrease on the quarter of 820,000 L, largely attributable, of Cowie, to the falling off in the income-tax. Customs, as compered wit► the corresponding quarter of 1838, show a net increase of about 32,0001., chiefly on wine, tea, and tobacco, there being on sugar, &e., some decrease. There will be s deans° in Excise of about 63,0001. Stamps give au kerma of about 8,0001. Taxes exhibit ao increase of about 4,0001. In inoonse-tax, the aetual redaction is about 920,0001. This Post-olio° continues to enjoy a prosperous eaTennis—yielding an increase of about 126,0001. This may in part probably be attributed to stamps eiSmsd to unstamped newspapers. h the items of Crown Lends and Miscellaneous, the difference is slight. With regard to the mount for the year, the cus toms will be jammed to the extent of fully 1,000,0001., there being increases on sugar, tobacco, and corn, but losses on tee, eofrie, %c. The Exam chaise for the year are increased by 76,0001., a less sum, however, than was anticipated from the alteration in the duties on British spirits. Oa stamps the year's increase will be over half • million. On tares the year's Leeman will be but trifling— probably only 10,0001. The felling off in the in come-tax, owing to the reduced rate, reaches nearly 6,000,0001. The Post-office revenue has increased in the year by 280,0004 Crown lands, as usual, are eta tioeary c the miscellaneous receipts are la excess by more than half a million. The result on the whole financial year is a set decrease of 2,400,0001. But for the falling elf is the Income-tax, there would, however, have lees a positive increase of about 2.600,000 E Iran es the Home of Commons, after a pro tracted and exturniting debate, prepares for a divisioe, Mr. Rocecca places on the notice paper a resolution, by which it is calculated the issue hitherto kept in view 'say be evaded.
