EAST INDIA HIGH COURTS OF JUDICATURE AI cc Os the notice for going into committee upon thin hill, The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH stated his objection to the wienbianno of the Supreme and :Wilder Court urging the anomalous nature of tbe plan and the difficulty which it would hare in working. Earl DE GREY emphatically defended the principles of the bill, which introduced into the administration of justice among • nixed population exactly that special knowledge which was requisite to be applied to dealing with the affairs of every class Lori K I NGSDOWN, in an elaborate speech, stated ob jections, principally of detail, against the measure. The LORD CHANCELLOR replied, pointing out bow, in his opinion, the result of the measure would be to esta blish a better more of legal procedure. After 11010111 observations fro= Lord WILVSLETDALR, the hone west into committee, when the Earl of Emits sonocou moved the omission of the second clause. After debate the clause was agreed to on a division by 4d to 42. — The recosioiai claims were p►wd. The last ludis Civil Service Bin peened through com mittee. The Dealers is Old 31vtals Rills was red a wood time. The Duke of ARGYLL moved the second reading of the Parucbial cud Burgh Schools (Soothied) Bill, the object of which is to add to the salaries of parochial wthoolmasters. Some objection was made to it by several noble lords, but it was read a locoed time. The Public Werkail;eietid) Advance* and Repayment of Mosey Bi ll , end the White Herring Fishery (Sootland) Bill, were read a third tints and pawl, as was the Probate and Letters of Administration (Indeed) Bill. The Volunteers Tolls Exemption Bill and the Voters (Inland) Bill peeled through committee. ITNIVIIISITY ELECTIONS BILL On the motion for the committal of this bill, The Bishop of OXFORD said he did not deny that it offered many advantsges ; hut as the whole the disadvan tame of the measure appeared to him greatly to prepped*. rate. At first sight it might he thought that a university constituency was precisely that to which the liberty of voting on paper might be safely exteud e d ; b u t he was aim vieced that there were many others to which It might be given with far more benefit. The members for the univemities were, stnctly speaking, intended to be representatives of the universities themselves; and the special life of a uni• venity was undoubtedly in its resident members. At pre sent the Don-resident voters were prevented to some extent, by the difficulty of coming up to poll, from overpowering by their numerical superiority those who were more em phatically interested in the university. Besides, when non resident voters did come up to vote, it was often from remote districts where perhaps •their opinions were totaled by the single ueespeper they read, and being thus brought ado personal contact with these who lived more in the heart of things, their old opinions were sometimes quite remodelled. All that, however, would be quite done away with if the bill pawed. Again, al though he did not think the bill intrOduesd the system of voting by proxy, it would enable cartels residents to accumulate •grest number of votes, and One to sway the election one way or the other at their pleasure. Ludy, he was informed that that great university with which he (the right rev. prelate) was connected, so far from having originated the proposed, bad actual) y peti tioned against it ; awl he could not help thinking that for all these masons it would be inexpedient at this season to go into committee on the hill. (Hear, hese) - The Earl of DERBY regretted that the right rev. prelate had not been present at the snood reading of the bill. The bill bad been under consideration during the greater part of the session ; it had had no petition prmented against it limn any of the three universities, and it had passed the House of Commons by a large majority. He most say also that the arguments of the right rev. prelate were neither con clusive nor consistent. He quite admitted that the con. stituency should represent the mind of the university, but a great number of the clergy who were member' of the uni versities ware unable, except at very great inconvenience, or at some expense, to express their view at an election. The first argument of the right rev, prelate was that the bill gave too much power to the non-residents, and afterwards he had objected that it placed the power in the hands of the reailente- The right rev. prelate said that there were other coustitunicies to which this principle might be more advantageously applied. He should be glad, with a view to the suppression of corruption at elections, if this principle were extended to other esestituencies, and it was one of the provisions of the measure of parliamentary reform which he introduced that votes should be taken at the election of members of parliament . by means of voting papers. It was no doubt very deniable that all who were entitled to vote should have every facility afforded to them to record their votes ; and there was a peat body of poor country clergymen who were entitled to rota, awl who, to exercise their right, meet pay their own travelling expenses, which emey ruses they could ill afford, or must be taken to the gime of election at the expense of the candidate, thereby menderably increasing the expense of the election. But the right rev. prelate considered that great advantage was obtained by members of the university who lived in distant parts—persons who read but one paper, and took their opiniona from it coming together, and mixing with the university to become acquainted with its mind. Surely, in the sloe or two hours when a man came up to record his vote at a matieted election, he could not be expected to gather the epint of the university. (A laugh.) But these reser were not compelled to mend up votes, to seed op esslieg papers, it was only optional for them to do so if they did not wish to incur the expense of going to the plain ei election. The great objection to the bill, however, apparel to be that it was introducing a system of vutieg by proxy ; but the pencil who handed in the vote was no MOM the proxy fur the man whose vote he held than wee the Postmaster-Grimed, through whose hands the inter paned. He did not mean to say that there were not proven/Is in the bill which might be imeroved, or that the machinery might not have been better adapted to the per fume, but be did not come to the conclusisie therefore that it was undesirable to pass the bill; on the contrary, he thought it would not be expedient to lon the besefit of the measure because it was introduces' late in the session, and there was not time fully to consider its machinery, hat rather to leave the amendment of its de tails to a future time when experience pointed out defects in its epantioe. He believed this to be an experiment that could be safely applied, and if found to be beneficial in this 18/11111111111 he should be inclined to advocate a further exten sile of the principle. The Blabop of LONDON believed the bill would inflict mop 111110118 injury upon the University of Oxford, of which he wee • member. He had had something hide with reforms istreilesed into the university, and the principal object was always te imams the importune of the resident mem big% Owl the alert of this bill would be quite lie swamp their remarks in sportance. After same upport of the bill from Viscount Viscount Ebnegton, and the Bishop of The Dube of NEWCASTLE said that the attention of wide lade led been diverted from the real point at issue. • ler as be was concerned, he did not differ mob IN= the principle of voting papers being •p -eledSe ether coestitmecies, if any means could ibeeleed of etroiatieg the frauds to which the system woo esterieeely exposed ; ae to this. he con fined he wee sot eteguiee. But he doubted whether thwes partiouler aseieltereelea were the beet on which to make LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 26, 1861. the experiment. He feared it would alter the character of the constituency, Ind that it would introduce a system of canvassing and eb.ctioneering into the body of the clergy, which would be highly untlesiruble. To use an American Phrase, it would convert every meeting of the country clergy into a " caucus " or electioneering club ; and it would tend to the clubbing of one college against another. At the same time, as he did not perceive any disposition on the part of the house to overrule the opinion of the House of Commons, he had no intention of opposing the motion. Ile coositiercil that the measure was somewhat oleo experi• ment,and that there were certain portions of the bill which might be improved. He tberefore threw out the suggostion that the bill should continue in force only for a period of three years, or to the end of the then session of parliament. After a reply from the Earl of Yowls, the bill pulsed through committee. COPYRIGHT OF DESIGNS BILL. The bill wan read a second time. SALMON FISHERIES BILL --- This bill also reeled through committee, sonic smend meats being speed to. IRREMOVEABLE POOR BILL On the order for going into committee on this bill, Lord REDESDALE add that this bill was • most im• portant measure. He bought forward statistics to slow the great changes it would effect in particular districts. He admitted that in many respects the points which were touched by this bill required legislation ; but he thought that sufficient time had not been allowed for the considera tion of the working of the measure. He would not, how• ever, offer any captious opposition to the bill, but he thought the government would do well to postpone it. Marl (MANVILLE mid he really saw no reason why the house should not proceed with the measure. The bin went through committee, and The Dublin Revising Barristers Bill, the Lunatic Asy lums (Ireland) Act Continuance Bill, and the County Cess (Ireland) Act Continuance Bell also p►ssed through coin _ The Drunkennes (Ireland) Bill, the Landlord and Tenant Law Amendment (In•lrnd) Act Proceedings Bill, the Lo. comotives Bill, •nd the County Surveyors (Ireland) Bill, way sad a third time sad passed. The Local Government Act Amendment Bill passed through committee. The Crown Suits Limitation Bill, and the Criminal Protnediap Oath Relief Bill (after some dimension and opeition) weic read a second time. The house adjourned at a quarter to 11. HOUSE OF COMMONS.THVINDAT, Jinx 25. (Continued from yesterday's Ezpress.) SUPPLY.—REPORT. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER contended that any apparent excess of the estimates was caused by the het that at the time they were drawn it was not within the knowledge of the War-oelee what the expense would be of troops on web* in India, and how much was due from the Indian government on that account. Mr. T. G. BARING urged that the excess stated was erroneous, and the sum he should have to ask on a vote for the China war was one which it was impossible for the war department to have been aware of in March last. Mir H. WILLOUGHBY observed that a much larger number of men had been kept up for the army than had been voted by the house. The house having gone into committee of supply, On the vote of 75,0001. for civil contingencies, Mr. WILLIAMS objected to an item of 1501. for the purge of the FAA of Carlisle from Dublin to Holyhead, and a sum of 512/. for the expenses of a patent, extending the barony of Lord Brougham to his brother. A discussion was raised se to how reductions should be moved in a vote of this kind, in the course of which Sir J. GRAHAM said that if the recommendation of the select committee on üblic amounts was adopted, the civil con tiogencies woul d not be again voted in their present in convenient form • and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER promised the best consideration of the government to the Mr. B. OSBORNE was objecting to the item for the Fine Arts Commission, when be was interrupted in the midst of a quotation by the hour having arrived when the sitting must by the rule of the house be suspended. The house resumed at 6 o'clock. ADMIRALTY IRON. Mr. HENNIMY asked the junior lord of the Admiralty whether the iron alluded to by him, on the 21st of Jose last, respecting the steamship Hibernia, was the same as the iron-oased ship Defence was being constructed of, and which was manufactured for hissers. Palmer by Messrs. Beale and On. of Rotherham, as shown in Parliamentary Paper No. 341 of the present session. Mr. WHITBREAD said it was the same, haring hem tested and found to be the best suited for the purpose. He could out answer the Letter part of the question. tura out that the reductions which Mr. Wilson stated had been made in 1859-60 were not brought to ac count in that year. While waiting for au explanation, he was much surprised by seeing • statement of Mr. Laing, that the expenditure of 1860-61 was actually 200,000. more than that of 1859-60. Mr. Laing—who everybody would be glad to hem was niueh better —had winos returned to this country, and bad admitted that he had been misled by a statement put forth in the askant' Claatte by the financial government of India. The truth, therefore, stood exactly as that which he (Sir 0. Wood) bad illustrated—namely, that the re duction stated by Mr. Wile), for 1859.60, was not brought to account until 1860.61. He now came to 1860461. The expenditure in that year was 46,000,0001., and the income :19,100,0001. The estimated deficit was 6,500,0001., but there was ipcluilei in that compensation for lessee in the mutioy end other charges, which brought it down to 3,500,0001. Mr. H. SEYMOUR asked whether that included the borne charges? Sir C. WOOD mid that his calculation included all the charges on the revenue of India. The actual expenditure in 1859:60 wax 50,475,00 W. ; the expenditure in 1860-61 was 46,067,0001., showing an actual reduction of 4,400,0001, r The regular estimate for 1861.62 was contained in the palthe table, and was framed in Marsh MT." on It showed a cash balance of 11,448,0001., but in the despatch received from India, dated the 2nd a May the estimated cash balance was taken to be 12,850,000/. I in the official year ending the 10th April, being 1,400,0001. more than was anticipated in Much. Eiace that time the same system had beau pursued, and therefore he thought he might speak with confidence of the estimates of the current year. Mr. Laing, in his official estimates, was nether too favourable. That gentleman proposed to transfer balf a million to the local budget, and he made re audioss in the home charges beyond the govern ment estimate. to the extent of 300,0001., and by those means he arrived at a surplus of nearly 250,0001. Taking the income to be as it was, and allowing for no reduction of expenditure, there possibly might be • deficit of 1,000,0001. in the mune of the current yea; but as at the end of the year he hoped the expenditure mad the income would be brought into a state of equilibrium, there would for the future be no necessity for say loan whatever for Indian urposee. Of the expenditure for the present year, WIII,OOOI. at least would be found to be due to the recent famine in India ; and the charge for guaranteed interest was no lees than 1,300,0001., which, with the lo on exchange of 473,0001 ., would amount altogether to 1,773,000/. The duty on salt bad been most productive, mid be was happy to say that, owing tette improved condition of the people of Inch--although the duty bad been very considerably increased—the con sumption had in no degree diminished. In Bengal where the duty was 25 per cent., the consumption had in creased 30 per cent. It was only on the item of opium that any falling off was apprehended ; but in view of that apprehension, Mr. Laing had taken • very low figure for that item. The reduction was of course mainly on account of the military expenditure, which the house would be glad to bear had not been carried to • very great extent. He did not mean to my that it had been carried to the extent it might be carried, but it was qu;te impossible to reduce rapidly without exciting much discontent in so large a number of men as bad been in the military service of the Indian government. Seven hundred and seventy seven native regiments had been broken up since 1859, sod including the police, the reduction in tie native armed force was not lees than 200,000 mem. The reduction in ex penditure was from 24,750,000/. to 15,500,0001., showing a reduction of about nine millions and • qua-ter. (Hear. The extent of the area of the famine was more reetr than was at find imagined, and was confined solely to the north-weetern provinces. During its continuance 143,000 people were daily employed is the relief work, and the famine also led to considerable emigration from these districts. He next wished to refer to the evils which had arisen in the lower provinces of Bengal in regard to the cul tivation of indigo. Those evils, which were of long standing, were felt with great intensity last year, and had been pro ductive of much loss and suffering. It a by a letter from the Lieutenant-Goveraor of Be written in 1854, that while the English capital introduced into the country ought to prove the greatest blessing to the population gene rally, the circumstances were such that the ryots considered the cultivation of indigo as their direst curse, and there fore he v-as not surprised to hear that its cultivation had emend to • great extent. The bill on the subject which was introduced by the Indian government was only of a temporary character, but he must say it was not of a character to operate very favourably on the exist* state of thimp. He was not surprised that the planters who had lost money largely should have got irritated and resorted to legal means to enforce their con tracts against the ryota, but a state of feeling arose from the adoption of that course which could not but be lamented. At the lame time the conduct of the lodise government wee not in any way reprehensible. It was their duty to hold the males of justice as impartially as they could between the planters mud ryots, and to see that the ryots did not suffer from op on, sad the planters from violence. The planters had lately taken • step which, however justified by law, was not one which could be approved when viewed as a matter of prudence. They had of course • right to raise their rents, but that had been done to au extent which did not seem to be wise, considering the excited state of the population. He regretted to add that that had feel ing had been aggravated by an occurrence to which his at tention was some time ago called—the circulation, under an official freak, of • translation of • Bengal play. That moat improper act on the part of the official authorities had been disclaimed by the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, who had written a despatch in which he said that it had been done without his knowledge, and that when it was brought to his notice he expressed his strong disapproba tion of it. Unfortunately, however, It had given rise to the unfounded suspicion that the government had been • party to the proceeding. As he had observed already, the government should be entirely impartial between pknter sod ryot, and he should be extremely sorry if by word or act the government should appear to aggravate the bad feeling which already existed. The next point was one which was always of importance to this country, but at the present moment vitally so - be meant the cultivation of cotton in India. Different opinions were entertained as to the capability of India to produce cotton in quantity and quality adequate to supply the British manufactures, but he was convinced, in opposition to a very high aulhority, that if proper means were takes India might be made • source of supply to such an extent es to render this country in a great measure independent of America. It was probable that the supply of cottonifrom India this year would be very much in excess of what it had ever been before. Upwards of 620,000 boles had already been shipped from India to this country, and 300,000 or 400,000 more were likely to come in the course of the year, so that the supply would be 320,000 more than usual. (Hear, hear.) He trusted that the increase in the price of cotton would greatly extend its cultivation in India, and that the natives would improve in the processes of pick ing mad cleaning which they had hitherto so much neglected. The lodise government had gone to great pains and expense to maintain if it could be grown in that country, and he did think it was well worth the attention of those persons in England who were interested in the effort, to use their ex ertions in contributing to its successful result. Hs was happy to my that • Mr. Heywood bad been deputed by all parties interested at home in the prodnotioe of cotton in le& to go out there, and the government had sanctioned his being accompanied by D. Forbes, the geutlemaa best acquainted with the cultivation of cotton in the different districts of India. He hoped that those gentlemen would be able to lay the foundation of a system which would greatly increase the supply of cotton from India. The duty of the govern meat was to improve the communications with the cotton growing districts, which at present did not pommies easy ac cess to the sea. The principal sources of suppl), to say nothing of the subordinate ones in the North-West Pro vinces, were Dharwar and Serer. With regard to the find, • road was in course of construction, which had already ad vanced as far as the frontier of the presidency of Madras. A portiou of it would cross the °haute, and the Madras go vernment bad been requested to expedite its completion as much as possible. With respect to Berm, two means of communication were being prepared—one by the East India and Peninsula Railway, and the other by • branch at Nagpoor. The southern part of the Berm district would he opened by means of the Goolavery. No time had been lost in conducting the works upon that river. When Cap tain Mayne was in this country be applied for a quantity of machinery to forward operations along the course of the river, and that machinery was sent out at mace. The wo-k was progressing satisfactorily, and had been favourably re upon by Sir Wm. Denison, the Governor of Madras. *original difficulty by which the work was impeded was • the want of money, but that had been got over, and any I necessary amount would now be forthcoming. The house I would be plowed to hear that only that morning they had I determined that orders should be meat to India to prosecute the opening of the Oodsvery as fast as possible, consistently with the proper execution of the works. (Hear, hear.) He entertained no doubt that the operation would, in the end, be commercially succesful, but that was • point which I ought not at the present moment to be looked at too closely. lie had nothing more to say with regard to finance; but there were some points connected with the political administration of India upon which he wished to make • few observations. He believed that Lord Can ning's policy in respect to the native princes and chiefs in India was sound in principle, and would lay the surest foundation for the nuuatenasoe of our power in that country. (Hear, hear.) In past years the tendency of our rule hid been rather to °ppm, than to mediate these influential persons, but in late years that line of policy had been entirely reversed. New treaties bad been made with several native princes, and territories had been assigned to them which, without weekeniog our empire, had increased their dignity and honour, and made them feel that their rights would not be usurped or Invaded by the British government. The Sikkim war just concluded presented • remarkable proof of our improved policy in dealing with the native rulers. The Its TROOPSLN CHINA. Colonel SYKES asked the Under Secretary of State for War whether troops ordered home from North China had been detained by the British minister ; if so, fur what time were they to be detained. And whether the troops at Tien•tsia were supplied with fresh water by Coolie labour. Mr. BARING s►id that one regiment and one troop of Fane's Hone had been left'at Tien•tain. He could not say in what way the troops were supplied with fresh water. INDIAN BUDGET. Mr. ADAM asked the Secretary of State for India when the return with reference to stipendiary native princes of India, for which an address was moved as unopposed on the tad of Ma last would be laid upon the table of the house ; alao Mr. Inis speech on the a12a1101311 of India would be labia' the to Sir C. WOOD could not say when the address would be laid oo the table. Mr. Leing's speech, being In official document, could not be (unhand. THAMES EMBANKMENT. Sir J. IRIELLNY asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, the report of the royal commission on the Thames emlmokment having been signed, it was his intention to place that report forthwith on the table of the house, with the protest of any commissioners against the rme. Mr. COW PF.R said that the report had been received at the Office of Works, and would be laid no the table that evening. No doubt the ordinary course would be followed, and the commissiooers would append to the report the reasons given by one member for not agreeing to that report. COURTS OF INDIA BILL. Sir J. GRAH AK wished to know what were the inten tions et governmest with respect to the above bill. Mr. VOWPEE said that so . great was the desire, on the part rd the legal preform, to have this bill passed that he should be must unwilling to abandon it. He would hot, however, bring it on at any time when there not be opportunity for ample discussion. He should sot attempt to bring it on after eleven o'clock that evening, but even if be should not have the opportunity of bringing it forward thew, Ise still clung to the hope that the session might last hug Moo& —(a laugh)—to allow of its being passed. THE NAWAB OP THE CARNATIC. Mr. LAYARD made as appeal to the Minister for India on behalf of Hussein Dhar, hereditary Nawab of the Car odic, who had been deprived of his eelabes. The Newish had petitioned the East India Company, but that compaay being no loops' in existeoce, application had been made to the right boa. ggeenntlemen. The right hon. gentleman bad, however. deodaed to act on a petition addressed to the late compaay, and ►e (Mr. Lysol) had advised the Navralia agent to seed out to Ileitis for another petition. The agent had done so, but as II mild mot arrive until the latter end of the year, be trusted the sight hon. gentleman would allow the Nawab, who wee is great difficulties, to have his pen. sloe, pending the rasesisatios of his petition, without pre- Jodie, to his elate. Sir C. WOOD mid that the case having been referred to the (oversew of Madras, he could not say anything until he remised hie report. At present be believed the Nawab was is receipt of • reduced pension. lie agreed generally in the principle that the claims of the native princes should receives. favourable consideration as possible. INDIAN RAILWAYS AND FINANCE. Sir 0. WOOD rem to ask for powers to raise whatever money might be necensary for the year's railway work in India, beyocd the sums that might be raised by the different railway companies. Last year be had estimated the probable expenditure for railways at 6,000,0001., and it reached fi,900,000/., showing the very great accuracy cf the esti mate. Up to April last eight millions had been expended, andlhis year be believed that six millions would be required. of which 'between 1,700,0001. and 1,000,0001. would be mined by the compsoies. What be wanted the house and the country clearly to understand was, that the money which ho now asked power to raise was exclusively for railway purposes. Every one concurred in thinking that the railway works in India should not be suspended, but that they should be finished at the earliest possible moment, especially as this country was paying in tenet until the lines were opener'. He had potash to find with the money market, for, haying recently asked for four millions, be had been offered twenty-one ; but in this case the house was to understand that not one sixpence was to be borrowed except for railway purposes. It was his in tention also to avail himself of that opportunity to make a statement relative to the general finances of India, from which it would be seen that it was not necessary to raise al:peace for the general purposes of government. (Hear, hear.) It would be m to refer to the three past years, and also to Yr. *ng's statement for the minuet year. He should refer to the peat years very shortly, because the accounts el India were very complicated. There bed been laid upon the table a return for 1&59-60, and also an estimate for 1860-61, which showed that, althomh the income was larger than the estimate by 2,000.000/., the expenditure was larger than that estimated by 3,500,0001. That was very nocomfortabie, yet no ex planation was mat from India, but he believed it would (Stamped, ld. Additional.) WORENCE of Sikkim havirig carried off some of our subjects a form was despatched to the frontier, and the rajah was informed that our object was to obtain reparation ' but not to annex a single acre of territory. In a very ab ort time a treaty was arranged with the rajah, our subjects were re stored, and the whole affair pained off in the most friendly manner. Not only did our negotiator obtaiu that, but the rajah engaged to allow a free passage for merchandise through his territory from India into Thibet, and by another way on the payment of a reduced duty. It bad long been a desideratum to procure the opening of a road from India to Chins, end that bad at length been satisfactorily accomplished by the aid of the Rajah of Sikkim. The same course bad been pursued with regent to the upper classes in our own province'. The taloolehini of Oude, who but lately were in arms ageinst us, bad, in eooseiinenou of this new policy, become our friends and supporters. In their own districts they acted the tame part as count!) , gentlemen in this country, administering the law as magis trates, collecting the revenue, and exercising other functions. There was a general tendency, in fact, to raise those per. eons. Hoo. gentlemen could not better understand bow that wee being done than by referring to the report by the Chief Commissioner of Oaths. Such was the policy pursued by the government in India, and he hoped be could show that that of the home government also was in the came direction. The government were fortunately not without the means of rewarding remarkable instances of attachment to the sovereign on the pert of native princes and others. Her Majesty had been pleased to institute an order of knighthood which had already been conferred on seven or eight of the principal chiefs of India, and would, in the opinion of the Governor-General, be greatly valued by them, and have an Important effect in increasing their goodwill towards thin country. The right lion. gentleman then referred to thejbres_bills relating to India which had recently pissed tbroudifliest house—vix., the India Council Bill, the Courts of Judicature Bill, and the Orli Service Bill—the general object of which was to remove the ex elusive character of the government in India, and to admit to a participation in it both English settlers and natives of all races. Under their provisions a native would be eligible for any civil employment, for a seat on the bench, or even for one In the legislature of the country. It was a sound policy, and the government at home and in India would be animated by the sane spirit in carrying it out. The house would be happy to hear that since the bill passed he had rewired a minute from the Governor• General re commending a course substantially the same as that which they had adopted. With regard to the other two bill., the first of them admitted natives to the highest places in the Legislative Cooped. The other admitted them to the bench, a step which would improve the administration et justice. It had been a matter of great satisfaction to bins to find a general concurrence in these measures, and be was convinced they were steps in the right course, a conviction in which he was supported by those who were cooneeted with India, and were most competent to forma mound opinion on the subject. He could only hope that these measures, when brought into operation, would contribute to the welfare of India, and cement the union between that country and England. (Hear, hear.) Mr. H. BEYMOUIt said this statement of the right hoe. gentleman was the most satisfactory statement with regard to India that be bad heard sines be hearime a member of the house. He rejoiced to find that Mr. Laing had returned in better health than was expected, and he trusted that that gentleman would be able to return to India, because, from his speech there on the budget, be appeared to be well aware of the necessity of equalising expenditure and revenue. . Bir H. WILLOUGHBY begged to remind the right hon. baronet that he bad already this year raised four millions for the service of India. It was true that the present was a railway loan, but state and railway finance ware so dovetailed together in Indian finance, that it was often very difficult to make a distinction. Let them not forget that in the year 1867 t►e Indian debt was 574 millions, whereas now it was 103 millions. The cost of collection of the revenue was 4i millions, and this, with subsidies to native princes and villages, absorbed the revenue and annually inc►eased the dead weight. He trusted that the right hon. baronet might prove to be right in his figures, but oertainly Dever were greater blunders committed than In former Indian financial statements. Nr.Clflifilllßlcconcurred in the policy of giving the natives all conoessions passible, but he could not go so far as to may that if such concessions bad been made earlier it would have prevented the mutiny. Mr. VANSITTART said be had listened with regret to the first portion of the statement of the right boo. baronet. He objected to the government coming down to the house year after year, and asking for powers to raise loans ; but he thought it was particularly objectionable in ,he present in stance, because the power was naked for only • week after a tender bad been accepted for a former lean. The present scheme was nothing else but encouraing st ock jobbery, and disturbing the monetary world and ba nk ing business of the country. Mr. CRAWFORD thought that before this scheme wee submitted to the committee they should have had better in formation wi to the nature of the proposed change. He could not see any plan likely to prove more favourable in its results than for the government to take every oppor tunity of utilising those large tracts of land in India which they all knew could be easily brought under zultivation. Mr. VANSITTA Rl' explained that in the recommenda tion he had made to the Secretary of State far India be was not actuated by any stake he had in the Madria Railway. Mr. J. B. SMITH believed that the Secretory of State for India would have no reason to resort to any further loans for that country except on account of railways or pro ductive public works. With regard to the revenue be be lieved that that derived from salt would increruie rapidly and in proportion to the extension of railways and river savirstaon. Colonel SYKES thought the right hon. gentleman's statement very satisfactory, but unfortunately Lope had be fore now told a flattering tale in India as elsewhere. Mr. Laing had shown that wishes bad been mistaken for facto, and that errors had arisen in Indian finance to an enormous amount. _ . . Mr. W. EWAIIT believed that the speech of the right hon. gentleman was in harmony with the feeling of this country with regard to India. In his opinion the future prosperity of that country depended greatly on the English settlers, and be trusted the government would adopt to wards them • policy which would give them encouragement and support. Mr. ADAM concurred in the opinion so generally ex pressed, as to the satisfactory nature of the statement of the right honourable gentleman, but there wss :art drawback in the uncertainty which pre with regard to Indian finance. lest year it was stated that the deficit was 6,600,000/., but it turned out to be 9,000,0001. This year there was a mis take of 4,000,0001. ; and to-night it was stated that there was to be a deficit of 1,000,0001. The three tremendous taxes, as Sir C. Trevelyan termed them, had turned out to be failures. The income tax, which was to produce • million, bad not produced more than half that sum. The bill for the license tat bad not been maul a third time, and probably never would ; and the tobacco tax had not bees carried to this day. Be fully agreed in what had been said as to the folly of the course we were pur suing with regard to the debt of India. By giving the imperial guarantee, which was already given virtually, • saving of two millions might be effected, as the interest might be reduced from five per cent. to three. He thought also that Europeans ought to be allowed to purchase waste hinds and to hold them in fee simple, and that tome measure ought to be adopted for allowing the land tax to be re deemed. _ _ Mr. OREGSON did not agree with the last speaker on the subject of the imperial guuriutee. India was well able to pay the interest of her debt., and we had debt enough of our own without taking upon ourselves that of India. Mr. BAZ LE Y said a great calamity was impending over the trade of the United Kingdom for west of &sufficient supply of the raw matenal. His right lion. friend had referred to • larger importation then usual that might be expected from India. List year it was 1;00,000 bales ; this year it was ex pected to be 1,000,000. But we must recollect that other nations would be competing with us for this additional sup ply from India. America at the present time wan receiving supplies of cotton from LiverpooL The embarrassment which existed at the preaeut moment with regard to the supply of cotton he hoped would be beneficial it developing the great resources of India. The consumption of cot ton in this country was 2,500,000 bales • year. The imports from India this year it was expected would amount to 1,000,000. It was the duty, therefore, of go vernment to do all they could to promote the cultivatiou of cotton in that country. There was a general impreasiou that the great desideratum was an improvement in the cleaning and preparation of cotton in India. But that wee not so. It was a better quality of cotton that was required. The cotton from America had a fibre twice as long as that from India, and he did not hesitate to say that by proper modes of cultivation, and by growing cotton of • superior quality, the ryot might get eight times as much for his produce as he got now. His bon. friend bad stated that more cotton was wasted in India than was used in England. Nothing could be more erroneous. The cotton consumed in England was worth thirty millions, and the same quantity of Indian cotton would be worth twelve millions, and it was not likely the ryote would lose such an amount. The amount of cotton grown in India was about the same as was raised in the United States of America ; and besides we bad the West lodise, with a cotton-growiug surface equal to the superfi- cies of France. lie trusted that with those aids we should in time be relieved from the necessity of depending upon one source of supply, and also of encouraging by our custom the perpetuation of the odious system of slavery. Sir C WOOD having replied, The resolution was agreed to. EASTER OFFERINGS AT ACCRINGTON. Mr. DILLWYN, in the absence of Mr. Barnes, on the ma sk s of ring into committee of supply, asked the Secre tary of Mate for the Home Department if his attention had bees WSW'S to the state in which the town of Accrington bad bon pieced by the Vicar of Whalley seizing the house hold goods and other property of poor parishioners and sell. ing the same by auction, to enforce the rapuent of small sums of money claimed by him for Easter offerings ; and be asked if it was his intention to take any steps to allay the excitement and to prevent its recurrence. The hon. mem ber also moved for any correspondence which might have taken place on the subject. Looking over the public peti tions he found there weretvo is getitions, one from the jull. tic's of the peace of the of Whalley, and the other from the inhabitantaof Ofd and New Accrington, praying for some alteration in the law with respect to Easter offer tugs. He cordially agreed with the prayers coutained in those petitions. Mr fLADFIF.LD seconded the motion. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that in consequence of the notice given by the hon. gentleman he wrote a letter to the magis trate of Accrington, who in answer said that there was some depute there as to the legality of the Easter offer ings. Thirteen individuals bad warrants issued 'pleat them, and their goods were seized and sold by auction. It appeared they were bought up by persons representing an association for the protection of those whose goods were seized under such circumstances. Considerable excitement prevailed, but it led to no breach of the peace. He thought this was essentially • question of civil law, and that it would not be competent to the executive govern ment to interfere in the matter. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the general question of Easter offerings, bin impression bad been that they were voluntary—(Lear, hear)—but perhaps there existed some special custom or legal practice in that part of the country which enabled au iucumbent to assert a claim in that respect. POLAND. In answer to Mr. HENIRSIST, Lord PALMERSTON said he had no objection to produce the comependesee that had reeisinly pained on the subject , of Poland. BOCLEBIASTICAL RECIISTRLES. Mr. H. SEYMOUR 17;;ifor;;;Inea -r. of returns with regard to etelesiesticel registries in England and Wales, stating whether they were in private houses or public buildinp, and if times buildings were fireproof ; the name and profession of the registrars, and the amount of fees they received, together with various other particulars. Sir Id. C. LEWIS said that the hon. member seemed to be in possession of a large part of the uifurniation which he now asked for. If the whole information existed the kin. member would be most welcome to it, but the diffi culty was that it did not exist, and if the officers of the ecclesiasiastical courts were to supply it they would have to undergo a great deal of labour us preparing an exceed. ingly elaborate report. Last year a circular was issued from the Home-ogee to the bishops, asking them to take steps to obtain the information, and the answers received were remonstrances and assertions as to the impossibility of collecting it without some allowance of public money for those who bad to perform the duty. Having no funds at his disposal for that purpose, and not tbiakiog it becoming to apply to parliament for a vote on the subject, no further steps had been taken in the matter. The motion was negatived without a division. SUPPLY. The house then went into committee of supply, resuming the discussion of the vote for civil contingencies. Mr. It OSBORNE severely criticised several items, espe cially the charge for the commission of tine arts, ridiculing the manner in which they had decorated the houses of par liament. He moved the reduction of the vote by 1,459 f. 45., which included a charge for the alteration of Lord Smug ham's patent of nubility. A very animated debate ensued, in which almost all the items of the vote were dealt with and criticised. On a division the amendment was rejected by 76 to 50. Yr. C. BENTINCK moved the reduction of the vote by 512/., again impeaching the charge for Lord Broughams patent. On a division the amendment was rejected by 62 to 48. NEWSPAPERS, &e., BILL.

CITY OP LONDON ELECTION. Mr. Western Wood addressed a meeting of the electors of the warded Aldgets, Porteoken, and Bi ll ingwte, last evening at Basses - hal l, Leadenhall-street ; Mr. Deputy Whiteside in the chair, arid having beard an exposition of the candidate's political _principles, a resolution iu his favour wee passed by the meeting. Yesterday afternoon the committee of the Lord Mayor, on the request being made to them, paid in their quota of the expense of hustings and polling-booths. There can be no doubt that Mr. Wood's committee lave also contributed their share, from which it may be inferred that both candi dates will go to a poll.

The tenders for the additional million of this loan, which is to be represented by debentures secured upon the consolidated revenues of Victoria, and bearing six per cent. interest until October, 1835, when it is redeem able, were opened yesterday at the London and West minster Bank, by Air. Donald Larnach (who presided), and in the presence of the other members of the committee appointed by the six associated Australian banks. The attendance of bidders was riot so numerous as on the former occasion, but included the representatives of several of the principal metropolitan monetary establish ments. _ _ _ The total number of tenders presented was 481, having opened which the Chairman broke the seal of the envelope containing the reserved prim, and road the decision fixing the reserve bidding at 104/. In reply to a question Mr. LARSACII stated that the total amount tendered for was 2,300,000/4nd subsequently, after the committee had retired to examine the tenders, he added on their return that the total amount taken at or above the mininium price of 105/. hs. was about 210,000/. The com mittee, he further stated, had resolved to keep the loan open until tomorrow (this day) at two o'clock, and to re ceive tenders, but at not less than the reserve price, up to that time. A GaITLISMAN in the room urged that a preference should be given to the parties who had already tendered. The CHAIRMAN replied that the matter had been well con sidered by the committee, but u they were bound, as agents for the Victoria government, to obtain the last farthing they could, they felt they were bound to leave the right of bidding open to the parties, without showing any pre fereooe. The proceediop were then adjourned till to-morrow (this day) at two o'clock.
