THAMES WATER MEN AND LIGHTERMEN BILL. _ Lord EBI.TRY, as chaltraan o f the committee to which this bill had been referred in the first instance, explained to their lordships the reasons for not being in his place on Tuesday evening last when the bill was under discussion. Having alluded to the censure passed on the proceedings of the committee, he proceeded to vindicate the course adopted. Lord CAMPBELL said he was sure no blame could possibly be attributed to the noble lord. SECOND READINGS. The following bills were read a second time :—Mersey Docks and Harbour, and Poole Water. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed Whitehaven Harbour and Town; Liverpool New Ex • change Buildings ; and East Suffolk Railway. SANDWITH'S DIVORCE BILL.

This bill passed through committee. THE STATE OF EUROPE. The Earl of MALMESBURY postponed, until Monday next, his statement relative to the state of Europe. VOTE OF THANKS TO THE ARMY IN INDIA. The Earl of DERBY said—My lords, the subjects are very few which a Ministry already condemned by a vote of the House of Commons can with any propriety submit to a Parliament on the eve of dissolution. Under such circum stances, which your lordships will agree with me ought to last as short a time as the exigencies of the public service may render possible—under such circumstances, the autho rity of the Ministry and of Parliament is alike weakened ; and the strife of political parties, at least within the walls of Parliament, is suspended, and the ordinary legislation of the country put inabeyance, except with regard to measures of such pressing importance that they cannot be delayed, or those of such ordinary routine that no one can object to them. But the motion I have to submit to your lordships is one to which I do not anticipate any objection either on the ground of the condition of the Ministry or that of Parlia ment. The motion is one that I am perfectly certain the Government in bringing it forward represents the feeling of this or of any Parliament that might be assembled, and faithfully represents also the feeling of the country at large. Not only do I not anticipate any objection to the motion but I rely with confidence and look forward with satisfaction to having the deficiencies—and there must be many—in the statement I am about to make supplied, and the motion it self cordially supported by the illustrious duke on the cross , benches (the Duke of Cambridge) and the noble earl below 1 the gangway (the Earl of Ellenborough) who, from their position and knowledge of the subject, will speak on this question with an authority to which I can make no preten -1 sion. My ,lords ' the military operations against the for midable mutiny in India having been brought to a success ful issue, it is peculiarly fitting that this Parliament should not separate without recording its sense of grati tude, and the public estimation of those men to whom we are indebted for the suppression of the revolt, and the restoration of tranquillity. That revolt has extended over a 'period longer than the existence of the present Parliament, and it is fitting that its last act should record the sense of public gratitude for its suppression. The only question that can arise on this motion is whether, in fact, we have arrived at the period when we can announce that the revolt has been finally suppressed. I certainly should not have delayed till the present time the payment of the debt of gratitude to those who have laboured either in a civil or military capacity in the service of the country, had I not hoped.that the period was not far distant when I should be able to announce to your lordships that the rebel lion in India had been extinguished ; and I rejoice to believe, not only from the intelligence which reaches us through the medium of the public press, but also from private sources of information which confirm that intelligence, that that period has arrived at which we may say the rebellion is altogether extinguished. (Cheers.) A communication to that effect reached his Royal Highness the Commander-in- Chief a few days ago from Lord Clyde, and I am quite sure that your lordships, who know that noble and gallant lord, will be of opinion that nothing could place in stronger light the complete success of the great undertaking in which he has been engaged than the fact that he would not state any thing beyond what the circumstance warrants. (Hear.) These are not my words, they are those of the Commander in-Chief of her Majesty's forces in India :—" I am happy to say that the tranquillity of the country is every day becom ing more and more restored, and the Government has every cause for congratulation. In my experience I have never known India to be more quiet than it now is" (Hear.) My lords, I might add to this an evidence of fact which is still stronger than that of words, that the Governor-General in his discretion has felt himself justified in sending back to this country a very considerable portion of the troops sent out hence, including, of course, those who have served the longest and have suffered the most in the service of India. And 'as a further proof, I might say that the same noble and gallant lord to whom I have referred, and who is the last man to spare himself or to shrink from the discharge of any duty so long as the service of the country requires it, has felt himself warranted by the state of affairs in retiring to Simla, for the purpose of there recruiting his health, which has been shattered by the recent campaign in India. (Cheers.) Therefore, my lords, I think I may assume without further preface that the time has come when we may congratulate ourselves upon the successful termination of this dangerous revolt, and when we may pay the tribute of our public thanks to those by ;hose exertions that happy result has been ob tained. And the first person to whom, as in duty bound, we should pay that debt is he who, standing in the fore most position, has had thrown upon him the greatest share of public responsibility, and who has naturally been over whelmed with the largest and heaviest weight of anxiety. But, nay lords, in order to appreciate the services which have been rendered by her Majesty's Viceroy, the Gover nor-General, Viscount Canning, it is only right that your lordships should bear in mind what were the circumstances under which that noble lord assumed his present onerous and arduous task. Immediately upon that noble lord's arrival in India disaffection began to manifest itself in that country. A spirit was breaking out which had for a con siderable time been smouldering, and perhaps overlooked and neglected, and just at the period when the noble lord undertook the duties of his arduous office he was encountered by a sudden explosion. That outbreak oc curred at a time when he was necessarily unacquainted with many of the circumstances of the country which ho was about to govern. That explosion took him by surprise, and he was obliged to seek for counsel from those who had had the greatest experience in India. It is not surprising, there • fore, that Lord Canning on his first arrival did not fully appreciate the magnitude of the danger by which he was surrounded ; but from the time—and it was not long—when he became alive to the perils with which our empire in India was threatened, he applied in grappling with the difficulties which he foresaw and the dangers which he encountered all the powers of a powerful mind and all the faculties of an ac tive and enorgeti c disposition. He applied himself sedulously diligently, and earnestly to the encountering of the great dangers by which he found himself surrounded. (Cheers.) It is true that the noble viscount from first to last has pursued sagaciously, steadily, and resolutely a consistent course, that he has never permitted his mind to be thrown off its balance by representations of exaggerated fears on the one hand, or by extravagant and passionate resentment on the other. (Hear, hear.) He has carefully and steadily watched the course of events. He has left untried nothing which could be done by indefatigable industry, by constant assiduity, and by a most patient attention to all the details of business and all the means by which this great revolt might be encountered. He has been constant in his com munications, and, I say it emphatically, most friendly in his intercourse with the Commander-in-Chief of her Ma jesty's forces. He has had the happiness and the credit of solvingsthe difficult problem which had been left to him to solve, he has brought the characteristic spirit of an English gentleman to the sagacity of a statesman. (Hear, hear.) I think that your lordships will agree with me that the period at which the noble viscount has successfully brought to an issue this great undertaking , your lord s hip s an d t he other House of Parliament ought not to grudge him the tribute of praise and thanks which are involved in the mo tion which I am now submitting; and your lordships, I think, will concur with me that her Majesty could not have chosen a more grateful or more fitting opportunity than the time at which the two Houses of Parliament are testifying their gratitude for his distinguished services, for testifying her own sense of those services by conferring upon the noble viscount the dignity of a British earl. (Cheers.) I hope that none of your lordships will be of opinion that by the omission of the name of the noble lord the Gover nor of Madras from this vote of thanks, it is intended in any degree to throw a slight upon that noble lord. The fact is, my lords, I think it is of the deepest import ance that votes of this description should not be a mere form—(cheers)—conferred upon persons merely because they happen to have been in office without having taken an active share in the events to which the votes refer. It is no discredit to the noble lord the Governor of Madras to state that from the circumstance of that presidency being of itself altogether free from any taint of revolt and of its having contributed but slightly t o t h e suppression of the rebellion, although certainly some of the Madras forces have distinguished themselves in the course of this cam paign, the noble lord was called upon to take but a very slight part in the great events which have been going on. It is on this ground that I trust your lordships will not think that it is from, any disrespect or slight to the noble lord that his name is not found among those to whom the tribute of the thanks of Parliament is about to be give n ' (Hear, hear.) I will take this opportunity of referring also to another name which is found to be omitted in the present vote of thanks, the name not of a civilian but of a most distinguished military officer. I have heard my noble and gallant friend, the noble viscount behind me, who himself has had personal experience and knowledge of ;service in India, express his surprise that in this vote the name of Sir Patrick Grant has not been intro duced. That omission, I need not say, was not intended to imply any disapproval of or any want of respect for that gal lant officer, whose services in India are too well known to need any eulogium from me. He has three times already received the thanks of Parliament for distinguished ser vices ; but on this occasion his name has been intentionally omitted. Although for a short time that gallant general aid hold the nominal command of the army shortly after the :lamented death of General Anson, and although in that capacity, I do u bt no t hi s serv i ces at Calcutta in' con cert with the Governor-Oeneral were of signal advantage to the country and promoted the public service, yet from the short period during which he held that high command he had not an opportunity of appearing personally in the field at all. Moreover, I beg your lordships to recollect that the vote of thanks which I am now proposing is not a vote of thanks for the whole of the services in India, but it is a vote for those services which have occurred within the last 14 or 16 months, and which have not yet been ac knowledged as the previous services have been by a formal vote of Parliament. (H ear , h ear .) N ow, my l ords, the services rendered by Sir Patrick Grant I need not say were included in the last vote of thanks, and upon that ground alone, and upon no other, it would be impossible for me to include his name in the present vote of thanks. But there is another noble lord, the governor of another presidency, who has contributed most largely, most bene ficially, and most effectually to the suppression of the mutiny. (Cheers.) Services hardly even second to the exertions of Lord Canning himself, and which were of the greatest bene fit and advantage to the country, were freely and liberally bestowed by Lord Elphinstone, the Governor of Bombay. (Cheers.) My lords, it would appear that that noble lord— whether or not from his greater knowledge of India I cannot say—formed a more correct opinion than others of the dan ger with which India was threatened, and, with his cha racteristic promptness and readiness, he took upon himself a responsibility which did not properly belong to him. (Hear, hear.) To hie active and energetic mind is mainly owing the arrival of those reliefs which reached India at a moment when reliefs were most urgently demanded. From that time to the present the noble lord has been unceasingly active. He has devoted the whole of his energies to the suppression of the revolt and to the maintenance of tranquillity in, that portion of the country over which his presidency extends. He has grappled successfully with every emergency as it arose. He has not only applied himself diligently and laboriously to the putting down of the revolt in his own province, but he has also most carefully and most sedulously supported the general scheme and plan of the Governor-General and the Commander-in. Chief with regard to operations over the whole of India. My lords, her Majesty has been pleased to say, and I at the same time had very great pleasure, of communicating to the noble lord her Majesty's intention, that whenever this revolt should be brought to a close, her Majesty would mark her sense of his services, not indeed by giving him a seat which he has already in your lordships' house, but by adding to his dignity as a representative peer that of a peer age of the United Kingdom. (Cheers.) Although I have not yet had time to receive from Lord Canning any answer to the communication which I had the satisfaction of mak ing to him at the same time as I did to Lord Elphinstone, the last mail has brought me from Lord Elphinstone a grateful acknowledgment of the honour which her Majesty has been pleased to bestow upon him, and at the same time an expression of opinion, in which I think he will stand alone, that the honour conferred far exceeded his deserts. (Cheers.) I hope that noble lords connected with the mili tary service will not consider that I am treating them with disrespect, or that I am improperly postponing the consi deration of their claims to the public thanks of Parliament, if, following the order of the resolutions which have been placed upon your lordships' table, I first refer to those civilians who have distinguished themselves by their services during the period of this revolt. The first name to which I have to call your attention is one than which none is better known or more highly honoured in India. Two illustrious brothers have borne that name with the highest credit, and with the noblest distinction. (Cheers.) One of them, unhappily, is no more. He has fallen in the active service of his country—fallen, unfor tunately, too early to receive an intimation of the thanks which his Sovereign and Parliament were prepared to be stow upon him. The other still survives; and I rejoile to think that Sir John Lawrence, who has arrived iirthis country within the course of the last few days, will have returned in time personally to know the appreciation of his services entertained by the country and by Parliament— (cheers)—that he will be enabled, as a member of the Indian Council, to give the benefit of his experience and advice in the management of important and arduous duties ; and that he will see how heartily Parliament appreciates that de voted attention to the public business which he ever dis played, and that firm courage and dauntless resolution with which, with the very insufficient means at his disposal, he met and sternly put down every appearance of disturbance in a district but newly acquired to the British empire ---haw by the very terror and awe inspired by his name, and by the respect due to his character, he not only altogether sup pressed every symptom of revolt in that wild and newly acquired district, but made his word law throughout that country, and made that country another England, pouring forth its supplies and reinforcements for the purpose of quelling the dangerous mutiny now happily extinguished. (Cheers.) Another distinguished man, likewise occupying a civil capacity, has been referred to on a former occasion in terms of great praise by my noble friend the noble earl be low the gangway (the Earl of Ellenborough)—Mr. Frere, the Resident in Scinde. (Hear, hear.) Perhaps the task of Mr. Frere has not been so arduous as that of Sir J. Law rence, inasmuch as he succeeded to a province in which . much had been done to tranquilise and settle the minds of the people, and to establish the blessings of a good and stable Government. But to Mr. Frere' must be due the credit of having maintained and supported that system of Government, and of having preserved in that province the most entire and unbroken tranquillity while a great portion of India was in a state of disturbance and re volt. (Hear, hear.) In naming another civilian permit me to say that, although the duties performed and the services rendered by these officials are not of the same brilliant and dazzling character as those rendered by the military, yet that they are not less essential to the good Government of India. (Hear, hear.) Our hold upon India must no; de pend solely—although it must mainly—upon our military forces, but the hold maintained by our military power must be strengthened and supported by the respect and esteem in which those are helcl.who exercise almost unbounded autho rity in the distant provinces of India. To Mr. Mont gomery, the Commissioner of Oude, is due the highest amount of praise for the manner in which during the last year he has administered the civil Government in that province. (Hear, hear.) Following immediately on the suppression of the revolt, by his judicious and wise and humane measures, with her Majesty's proclamation in his hand, and making the best use of the promises of mercy there held forth, by his justice and conciliation, and by tempering mercy with firmness, Mr. Montgomery suc ceeded to a great extent in restoring tranquillity to a country newly subdued and in which angry feelings had been. ex cited. Under such circumstances the speedy return to tran quillity reflected the highest credit upon that civil autho rity which had the chief conduct of affairs. (Hear.) I may mention here, and I hope that the announcement will be received with satisfaction by your lordships—that in con sideration of the services of Mr. Frere and Mr. Mont gomery her Majesty has been pleased to direct that there should be conferred upon them the civil knight comman dership of the Order cf the Bath; and I think your lord ships will be of opinion that that distinction has never been conferred more worthily. (Cheers.) To one more civilian it is necessary that I should refer, and that is to a gentleman who has been charged with a most arduous and delicate duty—Sir Rol'ert Hamilton, who has been agent to the Governor-General in Central India. It is difficult to form an adequate idea of the importance attached to the dif ficult and delicate service which such persons had to per form. It is the duty of the agent of the Governor-General ac credited to the several native states to watch with the most 'unremitting vigilance every symptom which in the slightest degree threatens a variation from their allegiance or a falling off in friendship on the part of those States ; to be ready to confirm the wavering; to stimulate those who are disposed to hang back ; to keep in awe those who might be inclined, if their saw a favourable opportunity, to deviate from their allegiance; to watch with the most anxious jea lousy every symptom of wavering, and every indicaiton of intrigue, in which I need not tell your lordships every Oriental is a great proficient; to watch and counter ' manoeuvre those intrigues ; to keep tranquillity unbroken ; to overawe sonic, and to persuade others—those aro duties requiring most delicate and most careful management, and those are the duties which throughout these troubles in. Central India have been performed, and successfully per formed, by Sir Robert Hamilton. His name consequently appears in the vote which I have the honour this night to propose. (Cheers.) In turning from the civil to the.mili tary branch of the service, and in asking your lordships to give the thanks of the house to those gallant officers whose names are contained in the resolutions upon the table, I am aware—and I rejoice that it is so—that I shall not have to call your lordships' attention to any cir cumstances of such deep and thrilling interest and of such painful excitement as those which were commemorated on the last occasion when a vote of thanks was proposed in this house. We have had, thank God, during the last year, or year and a half, to record no such horrors as the mas sacre of Cawnpore, no such atrocities as those that were committed before the siege of Delhi. We have not had to watch with that painful anxiety with which, day by day, during'the progress of that memorable siege, we waited to see whether it was possible that success could crown efibrts made with means so disproportionate to the opposition which they had to encounter. Nor have Ito relate to your lordships the painful interest with which we received, mail by mail, the accounts of that marvellous advance of the lamented Havelock. We have not had to speculate in agonising suspense over the probable fate of the garrison of Lucknow, or to thrill with satisfaction at their first and, temporary relief, to have our hopes again dashed by the news that thegarrison was still beleaguered, and at length to havethem crowned with satisfaction by the announcement of the final and complete relief ofthat heroic garrison. (Cheers.) From objects of such thrilling interest, from events occa sioning such deep anxiety, the statements which I have now to make to your lordihips will be altogether free. It will re late, indeed, to occurrences with regard to which the public expectation has been aroused; but that expectation can scarcely be said to have taken the form of anxiety, for since the earlier days of the period to which I am about to refer one unbroken chain of success has characterised our arms— success engendering confidence, and to such an extent that the slightest check has been regarded rather as an unlooked for disappointment by the public than as what might be anticipated from the nature of the struggle in which we have been engaged. (Hear, hear.) Happily also the period to which I refer has not been marked by that l amenta b le loss of distinguished lives which characterised the early period of this revolt. (Cheers.) Doubtless many hive fallen who have left a fearful gap in their own families and private circles—many who, if they had been spared, might have risen to the greatest' eminence, and have held the highest stations in the public service; but of those who have filled a place in the eye of the country there are com paratively few who have been cut off during the present year. Three there are, to whom your lordship will permit m e to refer, by whose premature death the country has sustained the deepest loss. Mention has been already made in this house, but this is an occasion on which that mention may well be repeated of the distin ' guished services of the late lamented Sir William Peel. (Cheers.) To a bravery which almost verged on rashness, to a determination which bordered on the heroic, he joined those high qualities of frankness of disposition, openness of manner, cordiality of feeling and great private virtue which endeared him to his own friends and these who imme diately surrounded him as much as his public character entitled him to the respect and admiration of his country. (Cheers.) Two others there were of a somewhat dif ferent character, in whose premature death India, at all events, has sustained a most serious loss. I allude to two men, both of th em mo d e l c hi e f s o f irregular forces, which they th emse l ves h ad forme d an d disciplined from among tribes and natives who had not long be fr?re been our enemies, over whom by their valour, their rigid discipli ne , and at the same time . by their careful attention to their real wants comforts, desires, and even pre judices, they had obtained an influence which was all but marvellous, and which enabled them to lead their troops so formed and disciplined into any danger and into any con flict with as much confidence as if they had been British soldiers. (Hear, hear.) One of these men has met a soldier's death, the other uullappilY has succumbed under labours which were too great even Tor his vast powers, but it will be long before the pet* of India, I am sure it will be long before the Punjab arid' Scindo will lose the memory of Hodson's Guides and Jacob's Horse. (Cheers.) With these exceptions, the list of those heroic men who have fallen in the service of their country since last year is hap pily small. I turn with satisfaction to the more pleasing task of commemorating and recording the services of those who are still to receive the reward of their distinguished valour. I need' say nothing in this house of the merits of Lord Clyde. His former services spoke trumpet tongued for themselves, and his career in India throughout, has thoroughly vindicat e d th e hi g h military character with which he went out to India, at a moment's notice, at the call of his So vere i gn. (Hear, hear.) Cool and cautious in coming to a determination, to such an extent that superficial critics rentured to put upon him the charge of slowness, always eager and anxious to spare the lives and labour of his men, unsparing even to recklessness of his own exposure, Wary in forming his plans, sagacious in making his combinations, he was determined not to strike before the time came for striking an effectual blow; but when the.time came the blow was struck, and it was with the full force of an entire campaign. (Hear.) He knew when to strike, and those whom he encountered found that he knew how to strike. (Cheers.) Though it would be impos sible for me to attempt even a faint sketch of the operations during the period to which I refer, it would, perhaps be more convenient to your lordships, in order to bring under your notice the names of the officers who have so greatly distin guished themselves, that I should shortly r e m i n d y ou of the principal features- of the campaign since the last occa sion upon- which your lordships were called on to pass a similar vote of thanks. That period, if I recollect rightly, was immediately after the final relief of Lucknow, The Commander-in-Chief at that time found himself entirely unable, from the paucity of his numbers, to do more than withdraw the garrison and the helpless women and chil dren, and in doilig that he performed a great achievement. (Hear, hear.) He felt it necessary to fall back with his own forces on Cawnpore, to make preparations for future offen sive operations, by clearing the line of his communication, and by establishing a new basis of operations. He arrived at Cawnpore barely in time to succour and relieve General Windham, who was hard pressed by the rebels from Gwa lior; and his opportune appearance enabled us to turn what, at all events, was a doubtful day, into a signal and satisfactory victory, That occasion was the first—and to one in his position they must be rare—on which the own raand of a division was held in person by that gallant offi cer, Sir W. Mansfield, the Chief of the Staff. (Hoar, hear, hear.) At the battl e o f C awn p ore Si r W. M ansf i eld commanded one of the divisions, and contributed mainly to the success of the day. In that battle another gallant officer signally distinguished himself, Colonel Walpole of the Rifles, to whose efforts and to whose skilful manage ment of his troops General Windham frankly stated the chief merit of the success was owing. In recognition, as I apprehend, of that service the Commander-in-Chief ap pointed Colonel Walpole to the command of a division to pursue the rebels, and in that command he has since re mained. In speaking of Sir William Mansfield your lord ships will remember how arduous, how important, and how confidential are the duties of a Chief of the Staff. He has not the opportunities, as other men have, of distinguishing .him self in separate commands ; but, under the eye of his chief, acting in the name of his chief, he has perpetual occasions of performing the most signal services ; and, without the assistance of an able, energetic ; and thouroughly trustworthy Chief of the Staff, no commander-in-chief could hope to carry on a campaign with any prospect of success. It is sufficient for me on this occasion to quote the words in which the Commander-in-Chief expresses himself as to the value of Sir William Mansfield's services. Writing in March, 1853, after the Battle of Cawnpore, ho says : " I have now the pleasing task of communicating to your lordship the name of an officer to whom not only I, as a com manding general, but to - whom in truth the service at large is under great obligations—Major-General Mansfield, tte Chief of the Staff, whose labour has been unceasing, AT,hose abilities are of the highest order, and have been of the greatest use to me during the campaign. It is impossible for me to praise this officer too highly, or to recommend him sufficiently to the protection of yon:r lordship and the Government." (Cheers.) Immediately after the defeat of the Gwalior rebels at Cawnpore the Conninander-in-Chief prepared for the resumption of offensi - ee operations. He proceeded to the Doala awl eapturefi Futtyghur, and then proceeded to accomplish the e,"re,:it operation of the final siege of Lucknow. He had at that, lime under his command an amount of force which was entirely disproportioned to the enterprise on which !e was entering. I think I am right in saying that the Ere . opean troops with him did not amount to more than 13,000 or 14,000 men—certainly considerably under 20,000. They were about to be met and supported by the Nepaulese forces under Jung Bahadoor, which amounted to a con siderable number, but upon whom it was not a matter of absolute certainty that entire reliance could be placed. It is due to that gallant commander and his troops to say that, although circumstances from time to time arose which might have seemed to cast suspicion upon them, they have never swerved from their engagements, but performed their part honestly and faithfully. (Hear.) I attribute that to the wholesome influence exercised upon their minds, and especially upon Jung Bahadoor, by having the oppor tunity of personally witnessing the extent of the power and resources and the resistless force of the country. (Hear.) Immediately under the Commander-in-Chief, and after the Chief of the Staff, was Sir James Outram, who had been left in command at Alumbagh. General Franks was fight ing his way from the other side to join in the siege. The artillery was under the command of Sir Archdale Wilson. Sir Robert Napier was in command of the Engineers, and the chief divisions were under the command of Sir E. Lu iard, Sir Hope Grant, and General Walpole. I mention these names because, though the statement which I have to make:may be unavoidably long (but not longer than the occasion demands), I wish to refer in detail to the services which each has performed. (Hear, hear.) The character of Sir James Outram is perfectly well known. Your lord ships will not yet have forgotten the generous forbear ance with which, when he met the late lamented Havelock at the termination of his successful march, he abstained from superseding him in his command until the final relief of the garrison, and left that gallant officer the glory of the success which he had so nobly achieved. After the retreat of the Commander-in-Chief Sir James Outram was left in a most exposed and perilous position. He was left with a small force in the occupation of Alumbagh, exposed to constant assaults from foes outnumbering him ten times, which on every occasion were successfully repllled Until the Commander-in-Chief returned to the siege of Lucknow Sir James Outram maintained himself at Alumbagh, and in so maintaining himself made it clear to the natives of India that they were not to sup pose that the retirement of the Commander-in-Chief was anything but merely temporary. Against any idea that the withdrawal of Lord Clyde was anything of a triumph to them, the position of Sir James Outram was an astounding protest, and it was a standing menace against Lucknow, which was carried into effect before no long time. (Cheers.) I think that this may be the fitting opportunity for calling attention to the circumstances under which he joined in that siege. Sir Thomas Franks was engaged on the other side of the Gogra, and had to force his way through hostile troops. In so doing that gallant officer exhibited qualities of the highest order, and qualities the more remarkable, because he succeeded in surpassing the native troops in that in which they are certainly pre-eminent—viz., rapidity and secrecy of movement. By the rapidity of his movements he suc ceeded in meeting two important bodies of the rebels in detail, defeating both on the same day and preventing their junction, and fighting a third battle on the next day or the next day but ono. Having fought three successful actions in the course of three days he was in time to give his valuable assistance at the siege of Lucknow. (Hear, hear.) The course which Lord Clyde pursued, and which, if I, as an improfessional man,'may venture humbly to express my opinion, appears to have been a wise and humane course, was not<to risk the lives of his soldiers by any premature assault or attempt at storming the town, where great loss muschaxe ensued, but to trust mainly to his artillery for success. The artillery, breaching walls and battering down building after bulling, and narrow street after narrow street, directed: by the persevering and active energy of the engineers, mainly contributed to the success ful and almost bloodless capture of Lucknow. (Hear, hear.) It was impossible for the rebels to withstand the fire of the artillery, and they took an early opportunity, which the smallness „:of our force prevented our impeding, of evacuating the town, leaving an al most bloodless victory, and thereby vindicating the sagacity and wisdom of the course which Lord Clyde pursued. (Hear, hear.) SirArchdale Wilson was already immortalised by his command at the siege of Delhi, but I think it right, with regard to his services, again to quote from Lord Clyde, who' has thus expressed himself : " The merits of Sir Archdale Wilson are too well known to gain anything by encomium from me; but I may be per mitted to express my satisfaction at having been able to avail myself of the assistance of this most distinguished officer. The effective'fire of the artillery during the long operations, which depended so much on the management of that arm, elicited general admiration." Another officer, Who commanded a division under the Commander-in-Chief at the !siege of Lucknow was a very distinguished and able officer, Sir Edward Lugard. (Hear.) He has recently been compelled by the state of his health to return to this country. I trust he has already consider ably benefitted in health in so doing, and I tun only express ing the feelings of the illuitrious duke on the cross benches (the Duke of Cambridge) when I mention the satisfaction which I am Bur* he has felt at being able to replace the valuable services of Sir Henry Storks in a department of the War-office by one so efficient to discharge the duties on which he has entered as Sir E. Lugard. (Hear.) It must be a great satisfaction to find that, although obliged to retire from active service, the services of Sir E. Lugard are not lost to 'the public, wad I trust they will be long continued. I have mentioned the names of most of those officers who shortly after the siege of Lucknow, from one cause or another, returned to this country, or at all events quitted the field to ass i s t i n the council, or in other civil duties. After the capture of Lucknow, when unfortunately the cir cumstances to which I have referred had the effect of driving and dispersing the rebels but at the same time spreading them over a great extent of country, where from their num bers they might do great mischief, one question became a matter of anxious consideration, and probably noble lords opposite will recollect it was made a subject of suspicion that differences of opinion and disputes had arisen as to the course to be pursued, between the Governor-General and the Com mander-in-Chief. There was a most important question to be decided upon which strong arguments could bo urged on both sides. Two lines of policy might be taken. Having possessed ourselves of Lucknow, we might have applied the whole force otour army to consolidating that conquest to obtain the complete subjugation of the whole kingdom of Oude. That object suggested itself in the first instance to the Commander-in-Chief; but other considerations, not withstanding the late period of the year and the approach of great heats, seemed to render it more expedient that a different course should be pursued. The first impression was to leave the insurgents during the hot weather and the heavy rains in Rohilcund, and to keep them cooped up there until the operations in Oude were completed; but on the other hand, it was represented that in R hilcund the population generally was very well and favourably dis posed towards the British Government, and consequently that it would be a poor return for the fidelity oft friendly over whelming rajahs and sheiks to leave them subjected to th join in th the power revolt o f . a rebel The force,Governor-General andob obliged g c e d o rn to . tom a e n o d n e rm r - in e -oCpheireaft,i operations c in urri o n u g d i e n t the c thees,aamt ote attempt but ine view, tppot t determined extend enilt follow ow r t i n t he thede the y of e Government over ow and the not to rebels into Rohilcund.

The command which he held was not one which in the opinion of the military authori ties was of sufficient eminence to entitle him to so much honour, but I am sure the illustrious duke will not be slow to testify his sense of the manner is which Brigadier Jones supported Major-General Walpole, and contributed to the successes which were achie ve d in tohileund. Another Ail cor of YorY great distinction Was despatched in a different direction. That officer is one who, from the commence men t of the revolt, has alw a y s filled a prominent place in the military annals of the time. He has commanded with unfailing skill, and has probably been mentioned more frequently (perhaps with one exception) than any other officer in the whole list. He was engaged m constant and almost always successful contests with the enemy from first to last, and from the final relief of Lucknow (town to the latest period the exertions of Sir H. Grant have been unceasing. (Cheers.) Between the 233 of February, 1868, and the 30th of Juue, 1858, he was engaged in no less than six general actions with the enemy, and on the 25th of No vember, after the rains, in the renewed campaign, he crowned his great deeds by the signal defeat of a large bodl of insurgents whom he drove into if not across the Gogra. (Cheers.) I now pass to an officer whose name stands pre eminent to those I have had the honour of mentioning, and I should not have been so long in bringing it before your notice, had he not held a command in a district of the country entirely different, and in which he exercised supreme command. It affords me additional pleasure to be able to speak of Sir Hugh Rose in the immediate presence of one of his nearest relatives. (Cheers.) That officer has earned for himself the highest and most distinguished cha racter. (Cheers.) It would be long indeed to enumerate all the distinguished achievements of that gallant officer, but from th e 29 t h of January to the 22d of June, a period' less than six months, here is a tolerable list : "He commanded the Central India field, constantly en gaged in action with the enemy. Among their achieve ments may be enumerated the reduction of the fort of Rath gur, the relief of Sanger, the siege and storm of the fort of Chandairee, the siege, investment, and storm of the fortress of Jhansi, the capture of Calpee, the general action on the Betwa." After these achievements Sir Hugh Rose, exhausted by the labours of the campaign, and sinking under serious illness, laid down his command. But, at the very moment when he was withdrawing from the command of the force which had so highly distinguished itself, he heard that the rebels had seized upon the Fort of Gwalior. Placing himself again at the head of his force, Sir Huge Rose, between the 16th and 22d of June, stormed the Gwalior cantonments, fought the -general action before Gwalior, and assaulted, and captured that city. (Cheers.) To strn up the achieve ments of the gallant body that Sir Hugh Rose had the honour of commanding, and in his own eloquent words, they "marched 1,084 miles, took upwards of 150 pieces of artillery, took one entrenched camp, one fortified city, one partly entrenched town, fought 16 successful actions, cap -20 forts, and never sustained a check." (Cheers.) My lords, in the operations which were conducted with so much skill and gallantry by Sir Hugh Rose, he was most effi ciently aided by Major-General Roberts and Major-General Whitlock. Those officers greatly distinguished themselves under the command of and in ca-operation with Sir H. Rose, and they were actively engaged in pursuing and in many cases capturing and destroying, those bands of rebels which, dispersed over the country, caused considerable annoyance, although they never ventured to make any head against her Majesty's forces. I cannot . pass over an officer who in a se p ara t e an d we ll-k nown district performed efficient service—l mean Major-General Sir John Michel, of the Mhow Field Force ' who with the force under hi s corn - mand defeated the rebels under Tantia Topee and took 27 guns. (Cheers.) Since th a t ti me Si r J. M ic h el, with other officers under his command, has been most actively and zealously engaged in pursuing the fugitive bands which have infested that part ofthe country. One name more must be mentioned—the name of one who fought at the side of and under the Commander-in-Chief at Lucknow, who shared the labours, anxieties, and dangers of the period which fol lowed the relief of Lucknow, and who subsequently, placing himself under Sir H. Rose, co-operated in the capture of Gwalior, and defeated the rebels on that and various occa siont—a name that has an hereditary claim on the honours not only of this country but of India—the name of Sir Robert Napier. (Cheers.) I need not recount in detail his pursuit of the enemy after the capture of Gwalior at the head of a small cavalry force, with which he charged the enemy, defeated them, took 24 guns, and intercepted the return of the rebels. (Cheers) I have to apologise to your lordships for the length of time during which I have occupied your attention. (Cheers.) I feel how imper fectly and inadequately I, a civilian and an unprofessional man, have done justice to the gallant officers whose names I have mentioned, but I thought, in my position, I had better risk the infliction of a lengthened discourse upon your lordships than seem to undervalue services which cannot be too highly estimated. I have now gone through the list of those distinguished officers to whom I ask your lordships to pay the tribute of your thanks, and seldom on any occasion has a list of more dis tinguished men been presented for such a purpose, or one with regard to Indian warfare which could be more appro priately headed by the name of Lord Clyde or more appro priately terminated by the equally honoured name of Napier. (Cheers.) Of course, in the selection of the names to be brought under the consideration of Parliament, to receive the gratitude of Parliament and the country, it is necessary to draw some line of distinction, and to lay down some rules in order to avoid any invidiousness which might fol low from the selection ofindividual names without refer ence to position or responsibility. But I doubt not that, if any military authority should follow me, many names not included in the list before will receive that testi mony of approval and approbation, the value of which will be infinitely enhanced when coming from a military authority. I shall not presume to select from the list of those men many who have eminently distinguished them selves, but who are not upon the votes for any special notice or special thanks. In the general vote your lordships are asked to grant the thanks of the house to "the other gal lant officers in her Majesty's army and navy, and also of her Majesty's Indian forces, fer the intrepidity, zeal, and endurance evinced by them In the arduous operations of the late Indian campaign"—(cheers)—and your lordships are asked to vote, "That this house doth highly approve and acknowledge the valour, self-devotion, and brilliant services of the non-commissioned officers and private sol diers, both European and native, who have taken par t in the suppression of the recent disturbances in India. I pause, my lords, to say that by an inadvertence ,which I regret there has been an omission in this resolution. In the previous resolution your lordships are asked to thank the officers of her Majesty's army and navy, but inadvertently, in the fourth resolution, no notice has been taken of a not very large number of her Majesty's forces, but who in pro portion to their numbers rendered most distinguished ser vices—l mean the " seamen and marines," and I propose to put them in the fourth resolution, as equally deserving of our thanks with the European and native army. (Cheers.) I will only say, in conclusion, that at the present period we may congratulate ourselves upon the complete and absolute return of tranquillity in India, and the restoration of peace. I think I saw the other day that, in a comparatively recent period in Oude, there have been something like 1,000 forts already captured, something like 480 cannon already taken, and a milhon stand of arms. The subjugation of Oude, and the restoration of our authority in India, is now complete. So far as military operations go, we have entirely accom plished our task. But the experience of the last two years teaches us that there is yet before us a more arduous and more serious duty than that which we have accomplished. You have subjugated the natives of India, and impressed them with a sense of your irresistible power, and your reso lution to maintain that power. But that which remains Is more difficult. You have yet to subjugate their hearts and affections to your rule, and as you have impressed them with a sense of your irresistible power, so you must impress them with an equal sense of the benevolence and justice of your rule. (Hear, hear.) We have an arduous task to perform, and we have to apply ourselves diligently, sedulously, and anxiously to a duty which must occupy us for many years—namely, to restore, establish, and confirm the blessings of good government for India. (Cheers.) We shall, with all our military force—and it will be necessary for many years to maintain it—find our sway unquiet and our possession of India uncertain, unless we govern that country not for the advantage of the few but i e n r e s l d ()e s o e f n the many—unlesstal condition we of the population endeavourpuieitoetadn foval; t c h e e th hap em p e which, under Providence, is placed beneath our rule—un , less we endeavour to develops the resources of that exten sive and naturally wealthy country, and unless by a firm and temperate sway we satisfy the natives that, if we are masters, we are friendly and benevolent masters, to whom it is not only their fate but also their interest to be faithful and obedient subjects. (Cheers.) I believe that, by act ing on the wise and humane principles expressed in her Majesty's most gracious proclamation, and endeavouring to heal the wounds and obliterate the scars inflicted during this unhappy revolt, we shall best consult the interests and honour of this country. And. I trust, 11 11 der the blessing of Divine Province, that the posses sions reconquered for us by the valour of our military force will, to the benefit of India, long be maintained, supported, and confirmed by the liberal and judicious wisdom of the statesmen of this country. (Loud cheers.) The noble earl concluded by moving the following resolutions : " That the thanks of this house be given to the Right Hon. Charles John Viscount Canning, G.C.8., her Ma jesty's Viceroy and. Governor-General of India; the Right Hon.

Earl GRANVILLE, in seconding the motion, said the speech of the noble earl had not only contained a most ac curate statement of the services which their lordships were called upon to thank, but it had also been marked by complete absence of anything like personal or party feeling It was therefore hardly necessary for him (Lord Granville) to add anything to the noble earl's address ; but it was desir able that some one on the opposition side of the house should express his entire concurrence in a proceeding which would no doubt excite great interest in the country, and still more in India. (Hear, hear.)
