P i - LITERATURE. &ries: iums toward@ the Allure Gorernment of I,,Jia. By Ihr P.itt MAILTINEAU. Baith, Eldrr, and 1858. Such an incredible quantity . of trash has been written about the Indian mtrtny and the " Indian sperst.....i" generally, during the last six or seven .oaths, that it is panelling in the extreme to alight upon a work I:te thi!i, which, al:hmoh not the growth of arrest experience and inquiry in India, is wanting in none of the advantages derirable from then a‘vidents. We mar say moat truthfully of these "Suggestions," that whilst we have never seen a work, not written by one of Indian antecedents or tniard in the theory and practice of In diet government front early youth, with so cktr an impression of all the essentialities of the gnat question now agitating the public mind, we know many who, baring spent all their lives in Ind a considrr themselves especially qualified to instinct the community, but who in comparison with thu thoughtful and sagacious writer of this volume are little better than sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. These are the genuine, honest utterances of a char. sound understanding an understanding ▪ übectued 1.4 e enfeebled by party prejudice or parsoisl aeltis.hners. For our own parte, we wonder how au y reasonable being can dissent from the pixmo 'llion thus laid down in the very first page of the work : If we take time to collo, t, and teases from, all procurable kaawledg• on the subject of India, we may make arrange- Meta for which tho whole world will be the helm. If we artily decide that India shall be • crown colony, ruled di rectly sad entirely from Engles& according to existing British notions and habits of colonial government, we shall lure India, speedily, diwracefully. and so disastroasly that the .teat will be ate of the moat conspicuous calamities be the history of nations. If it is true that this it the alts,- nstitu ',gore us, every man's duty is plain—to start himself to avert a hasty decinion, first, and to proms a who GM lalirWAZds. The next important proposition is equally unde niable. We have insiated upon it ourselves, in another department of this j ournal ; but however obvious it may be, it has really impressed itself on the minds of a comparatively few people, and, unfortunately, upon the anderstandinp of a comparatively small portion of our legislators : F.'r the lett time we have to decide on a method of go venuoir a vent territory and population without aid from Lellet or anaiogy. Been if wa made no change at sU in p7ratus of goverment. it would be a new departure, Wow It would be a choice—a deliberate adoption of a salsas of rale : and to such a choice there is so parallel in If Wilkey. nor perhaps in any other. Our gnat privilege an • essinn la, that oar British institutions have groan up, astemilly and inevitably, from our character and our eircum nlnnins together. No man, or body of men, ever invented, or sern foresaw, our cot statut'on as we are Bring under it now. It appears that there are constitution-mongers in the present House of Commsns who think it as easy pet_rike off a new form of government for a hun and and fifty millions of people, of different colours and different creeds, as to write an order for the strangers' gollery, or draw a cheque on their bankers. The idea suggested by the question, " Have you ever done such • thing before?" is sotoe:hing quite new to the majority of those who hate voted in favour of what is called the " elimi nation" of the East India Company from our future schemes of government, and have believed at the sass ei t time that they were really doing only • • small thing. The " small thing" is a total departure all those principles and rules of action which vs hitherto enabled us to maintain this mighty anomaly of our Anglo-Indian government. We are proposing henceforth to govern India not for the sake of the Indians, but fur the sake of • parliamentary melo rity. Conk' any more vital troth than the following be enunciated ?

Here is another important " Suggestion "—a sug gestion which derives additional force from the accident of the crisis into which the - country has__ just been thrown by a parliament ar y majority. What is such a crisis to the East India Company ? Dom it affect—has it ever affected the policy of that body? Tidy, indeed, says Harriet Martineau: Through whole centuries of irregular changes and fre leant perturbations which Englishmen could control and overrule at ho ue, but which marls terrible epee if the tate rub of oar colones, the government of India has been stable, consistent, as immutable in the eyes of its Indira subjects as • god rating from a steadfast throne. In so peonliar • case, this has been an inestimable blessing. Its oorporste character, and successions of various men, bare re deemed its rule from the curse of deep...lots—the power of sett-will; while Its independence of the p Xrice of the day hem protected its docniuitm from the rusintfold mischiefs of r.iky chnime—mitechies which we ad m it t o be evils at though we prefer them 1 , . the twits of say other "M em.

The •Itolo care against Mr, Stapleton wee that be was parent at the time. He would leave the My to judge of the triumphint answer made by his learned end the Attarne •Gentral (Mr F. Kelly), but wh a t would they say to Mr. Kesemidy's ease when he had not been there at all? Mr. Alderman Kennedy bad not attended the board hove the 10th of Await to the 6th of February, when he introduced his own brother-in-law as a director, mid who from tbls set was brenrbt In to share the honour and ersdit of It charge of her 3lopeity's Attorney-General for cum sptracy. Was such a ease probable Wash consistent with human nature that Mr. Aldermen Kennedy would have brought in his own nephew, who was a clerk in the Foreign dim to deposit in the bank a small sum he had gained no a pine at Cambridge? Nay, more, Mr. Alderman Ken nelly bad brought in his sothec-in-law, Lady te whim credit there was a balance of 60 0 f. when the bank darned ppyyssenent. Could they believe that a gentleman who bare a dYtfagplib ed name—for he was the son of General Kennedy whose name lived in the annals of this country as having gained fbr her a large tenitory—would have periled his own fair name—that he would bare sacrificed his nephew, his brother-in-law, and his mother-in-law by joining tn inch a omegfracy ea wee laid to his charge? They would recol lect that Mr. Alderman Kennedy wan a creditor of the bank, sad sever had accommodation from It to the extent of a far ... thing. When they recollected that their mediae of guilty woad deprive him the troops of friends" which should aecomplay his old age, and woqld embitter every moment of his Eh to know that a jury of his fellow-countrymen had found that he had ruined hi dearest relatives by conduct the most fraudulent description, they would hesitate long and anxiously beton they diked such a disgrace to his name as would attend such a verdict. I have, in conclusion, said the learned counsel, to 'Dude only to one other matter, and that is the put taken by Mr. Aldermen Kennedy awing his she af ahrlev•lty, at the meeting of the shstabolders. The e rirs carriage drove up to the door of the bank all the meet- ing wee being held, in all that state which, I fear, Is regarded y ara A y a sheriff am perhaps inconvenient. Now, if a gen rad go to • meeting, in the object of which be sympathises, and a resolution I. not put into hie hands to move, I am net a serjesnt-at.law. (Laughter.)

He said that be clearly bad the legal comedy at the dead bodies of the paupers, and be had the power to awns* of them, and he had templed with every we of Rio requirements of the act of parfilmeat Win the bodies wore sent to the hospital, and there being no evidence that the relatives of the deceased required that they should be buried, he submitted that the detendmat wee justified in what he had done, and therefore wes entitled to his acquittal. Mr. J umice Wisotwan limited Mr. Robinson which of t h e counts of the indictment he considered waa made out by the evidence! Mr. Reblason mid be should contend that there was evi dent,. for the jury in support of the whole of them. Mr. Justice Wighunan mid that the first four mats, which charged that the defendant, es the master of the work house, had these bodies entrusted to his charge for the pur poses of burial, and not otherwise, clearly bad not been eupported m he was of opinion that the defendant bad the legal euat udy of the bodies, and had the power of deal* with them according to the Anatomy Act. Mr. Matthews thee proceeded to urge several technical objections to the other counts of the indictment, and be con tended that the facts had not established any offence at exa men law, sad that there was no evidence to show that the bodies bad been dimmed of, or sold, for the profit of the defendant, and that there wee also no evidence that the rela tives required the bodies to be Meted, which was abso lutely essential to be proved under the provisions of the Anatomy Act. Mr. itobinson, in reply, urged that there was ample evi dence to go to the jury upon the point that what wee done by the defendant was for lucre and gain sooerdiug to the form of the indictment, and with regard to the other point, that the relatives had not required the bodies to be buried, he mid that the deception that was practised upon them by a day being appointed far the funeral, and seeing the bodies in the conies ready, apparently, for interment at the tiros so appointed, effectually prevented them from asking • distinct request that the burial should take place. It was I clearly, however, their intention that their relatives shoal be buried, and it would be likely to be attended with very he ful consequence, if such • trick ea appeared to have hem practised in this cue should be allowed to have the Abet of defeating the act of parliament. Mr. Justice Wightman, after some further diseamket bad taken place, mid the questions he should reserve for the wa nds-Wu of the jury warn whether the defends= had dis posed of these dead bodies for hie own profit, and whether them had been any act on the part of the relatives that amounted to a request that the bodies should be buried. Mr. Matthews then proonded to address the jury for the defeadant, and after remarking that it was absolutely neces sary for the requirements of science that dead bodies should be obtained for the purpose of dissection, and that the act of parliament that had been referred to was passed for the specific purpore of giving greater facilities to effect that object, he proceeded to urge that the defendant had done no more then he was legally justi fi ed in doing under that act of parliament, and he said that if there had been any irregularity, the witness Hogg, who had been introduced on the part of the prosecution ea an accomplice, was much more likely to have been guilty of it than the defendant. Hs then commented at considerable length upon the cooduct of I that witness, and reminded the jury that he had in the ant instate* refused to amwer any questions until an marine* was given to him that he should not be prosecuted, and that he had • direct inducement to substitute one body for another in the fact that he received 31. 10a. for the burial of every body that was taken to the hospital, while he only received 6a. 6d. for the ordinary perish funeral. Several highly respectable witnesses were called, who gave the defendant a most excellent character. Mr. Jastioe Wightman having intimated his intention to seem some of the legal points that had been raised on be half of the defendant for further consideration, in naming up the emu to the jury said that although the indienseent was very long, and the ems bad occupied a emaiderehl• liras, yet it marred to him that the imbetantial quietens to be sniSied to then were, whether it was made out to their eatideolics that the defendant had delayed the Motel of them bodies is order that they might be used for the peewee of disseotkm, aid whether be intended to make • profit himself in so &leg, and also whether they thought that the relatives of the deceased had intimated • request that the bodies should be interred, and that they should not be sub jected to anatomical examination, or whether they were pre vented from doing so by the proceedings taken by the de fendant to get up a pretended funeral. His lordship them went through elf the material facts of the ass. sad be con cluded by reading the written questions to the jury, request ing that they would answer each of them separately. The jury retired, and in about half-an-how they returned into court, sad expressed their opinion with regard to all the questions in the alfirmative—namely, that the defendant, with Hogg, had delayed the burial of these bodies in order that they might be disposed of for anatomical examination, for hie own profit; that the pretended arrangements for the funeral sweated the relatives from making a formal request that the bodies should be buried without anatomical exami nation, and that if they had not been deceived in this man ner they would have made such a request. The learned judge upon this finding directed • verdict of Guilty to be recorded upon the fifth, sixth, and seventh collate of the indictment. — ThethensazTtbey were &axiom' to uproot their re gret that, owing to the promise that was made to him by the guardians, the man Hogg had not been placed in the dock with the defendant. Mr. Robinson said that the guardians felt bound to adhere to their sgTeement, end probably the promise would sot have been made if it had not been felt that there would poisibly have been a difficulty in making out the cue without the in formation that was derived from this parson.

Sir Fitzroy Kelly in his address foe the datandent, Mr. Stapleton, urged a vat ay of muskets to prove that at the tune of the publicakez of the balance-sheet fa December, 1845, his client wee unaware of its falsity. He wee the derived, and not the deceiver. He dead his learned friend to prove that In December, 1866, Mr. Stapleton knew that Mr. Brown was an insolvent debtor. Then as to the Welch works, which had, ae al by the prosecution. entailed a loss on the bank of 100,0001., They said that the blleace- sheet fraudulently suppressed this loss, and stated the 100.0001. amongst the assets, and that Mr. Stapleton knew it. That they must eetablish, or the case spinet Mr. Stapleton mum fail. Bat how dif ferently would sanguine men and a desponding man view such property u mining property. A prudent men would not frost his own inexperience. He would apply to others more experienced than himself, and that Mr. Stapleton had done. Mr. Stapleton had instructed him to say that in December, 1855, ha regarded those mines as a ready productive property. Hs would now refer to two other debts in the large debts, which were tee in number. He alluded to the debts of Oliver end Maness. With regard 3 Oliver's debt, the case for the lion was t hat at • sting in Nov. or Dee., at which Mr. rt:P nu on was present, it was mentioned that some securities which were expected to be realised had failed. But the amount of 0 leer' s debt we. not known to Mr. Stapleton, tar the dividend received or expected. Mullene's debt wee en old debt, in ezitteace long bore Mr. Stapleton joined the bank. Was Mr. Stapleton, who had jest joined the hosed, to take on himself to do that which Mr. Paddison had de clared to be premature—to deal with such an account as that —to declare whether it wee a good or bad debt, or whether ft was properly or improperly inserted in the balance-sheet ? If there wee and thing wrong in the balance-sheet, it was the balm. tif the directors who rat from 1849 to 1845 to cause it to be corrected. It was no business of Mr. Stapleton's. Ile could only know it was the mode practised by Mr. Cameron, with all his experience in the affairs of the bank—Mr. Cameron, who enjoyed the confidence of the director', and who had been treated by the government in the vazi.nia im portant situations he had filled. Mr. Stapleton could not have believed that the Welch week, would be a total loat— he did not believe, nor did he dare to suggest, that Mr. Hum phrey Brawn wee an Insolvent debtor, and as to the other debts, he implicitly believed that if they were bad debts they were properly dealt with in the balance-sheets. He had been 'myriad that Sir Frederic Thesiger had opened, and that hia learned friend (Mr. Atherton) had sines pressed it as a proof of Mr. Slap!• toe's knowledge that the balance sheet was false, beanie it had coins to his knowledge at a meeting, at which Mr. Fedaile and others were present, that the bills given by a tradesman, named Blacker, for a small debt of 4,0001, were proved to be fictitious. He had now be believed laid before them suffi cient ground+ to saidY them that no man would have been justified, in Deamber, 184.5, in demouneing (hose debts as bad, cr the debtors as insolvent debtors; but If so, for b . woul d not test his car on such a ground, he cared aot whether there were bed debts to the amount of 100,000/., or 10,0001., or 11., did Mr. Stapleton know the state of the bank's attire at the time? Lord Campbell—Aar Frederic Theurer, on the part of the prosecution, admired that when Mapleton came into the beak he was limner of the state of it. Sir F. Kelly—Exactly so, my lord, and it was my earnest hops that they who are now repreeenting my distinguished friend, who baa been justly raised to the highest position in the law, at the dose of the case, when there is not a sciatala of evidence affecting Mr. Stapleton, they would have done him the justice—the tardy justice—too late for his peace of mind—to consent to his acquittal at this stage of the case. I deny that my learned Irked can prove that he ever, from the first moment, believed that the bank was insolvent. That ha did roe during his long warfare with Mr. Cameron and Mr. Brown that there were mismanagement and tosses I freely admit, but that he believed in the solvency of the bank is dear and beyond all doubt. Though we find him standing alone against all, opposing a dividend and proposing a al of 25 per out., which would put 70,000/. into the bank, I ray that donates the failure he believed that if it had the aid of men of integrity and of baldness capacity its fortunes would be relieved, its re-estab Il od, and that the bank mi g ht, a it ought to have been, one of the leading institutions in this great city. It was in this belief that he had but a for days before the failure of the bulk written to his kinsman, Mr. Alexander Matheson to oome forward, and by the respectability of his =me and station give confidence to the public in the bank. Its failure took Mr. Stapleton as much by surpeise as it did any of the depositors whose case Sir F. Thesiger so pathetically opened. Can it be supposed that for the sake of his wretched little fortune, which is now lost to WM, he would have in volved his lineman—that he would have brought rein on him. in tempting him to come forward and lend to the insti tuti,,n the unction of his name? And now I solemnly appeal to my lord and to you to say whether there is a ptrtiel; —a scintilla—of erideneein the mass of pro. , f which has been laid before you to affect the honour and integrity of Mr. Stapleton? At the clonclusion of the learned gentleman's speech there were loud demonstrations of applause from the body of the court, rhea Lord Campbell said—Thais manifestations must not be repeated. AU here meat remember that we are in a court of justice. Mr. Serjeent Shea then addressed the jury on the pert of Mr. Alderman Kennedy. The learned serpent detailed the circumstances under which his client joined the original promoters of the bank, and after a withdrawal in 1860, ?sickbed the directors in October, 1854. The main evidence Aldermen Kennedy was the memorandum 44 the 1V:( ?ley, 15.53, requiring Mr. state to report on the ste of the bank, and the poreibil ity of the bank retrieving its dia meters. He did not dispute that when Mr. Alderman Ken nedy wrote that letter be knew of the baste by the Welsh works, and that Mullen. and G triune were debtors to the bank, but be could lot have poenibly known that the securi ties were worthless. How could Mr. Aldermen Kennedy have then Ithown that the debt of Mr. MGreger wee how lea, or what the securities given by Oliver would produce. He submitted this letter was the letter of en honest men--It wee the inquiry of a man who did not know ' but was anxious to know the truth. Accountants and bill dirks had taken months to ascertain the deficit end less on past due bills. Mr. AMerman Kennedy had no such meals of arrivie.a: at that knowledge. He wee alarmed by this bold asertion by his colleague, Mr. Brown ' and he went to the man who was most likely to be able to afford him the infor mation, Mr. Cameron, who then enjoyed the confidence of the board. About this time, in September, 1866, Mr. Alderman Kennedy entered on hie office as sheriff of Lon don and Middlesex. An office involving more labour, or re• qtdrlng more personal attention, it was impossible to con ceive. It wax a life of wade, a life of expense, a Idle of hospitality, a life of charity, and of serious duty in attendiZ the Criminal Court. It was an office which emu the whole time of a ma, end it woe ono w hich no man could have discharged in the manner it woo notorious Mr. Alderman Kennedy hod dlecharuad it with the weight on his mind that be was to his own now ledge a conspirator in a fraudulent bank—e willing party to the ruin of that clams of hie fellow-eitizene for obese benefit I be had oeginally assisted in promoting it. He would now turn to the third period into which be proposed to divide his address It was a peeled at which he arrived—he would not say with triumph, for that would not be becoming in him— but with the strong conviction that it would show a state of fats which moat discharge Mr. Alderman Kennedy from' the stigma sought to be cast on his character. During the whole of that time when, according to the prosecution, this conspiracy bad been hatched, and when it was alleged that Mr. Alderman Kennedy had coespired with Mr. Stapleton he had never attended the meetings of the board. Th ey had held le oorcoamalcation. He did not wish to make aempleinte, lent he thought that If the crown had not the heart to let off both Mr. Alderman Kennedy and Mr. Stapleton they sheild not have indicted both of them, and thus Puteluild the Pcooll that they bad not bees In otimmunioadm during the pw+od• in cia t a.

He left the room for • while, and on coming back threatened to cut Harnmerton's throat if he attempted to put him in the guard-room.

There was no speciality about it, and as far as he was renamed he certainly should grant an order to any one who wan known or had a oteiti. cate for the purpose. One of the men here produced a certificate, showing that they were engaged on the French railway, but they had no friend here to recommend them. They hoped his worship would grant them the usual order. Mr. Burritens said he certainly should do so, u he wee peelbetily satisfied as to the spplicanta.
