Having inspected the Diadem, which i 9 the largest frigate of her class in the navy, they returned to the Sprightly, which carried them into harbour near the Excellent gunnery-ship, on beard which They proceeded by the Admiral's barge.

LA,FF INTILLIGENCE—Jun. 28 COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. 'Sittings in Banco, at Westminster, before Lord Chief Justice Campboll, Mr. Justice Wightman, and Mr. Justice Crompton.) IN RE THE REV. H. OHEERT.-ALLEGED CRIIELTT TO A In this case, Mrs. Cherry, in the course of the last term, appealed to the Court for protection against threatened coercion on the part of her hus bend, the Rev. S. Cherry, Rector of Burford, near Reading, against whom she exhibited articles of the peace for alleged cruelty, and obtained the protec tion for which she applied. Mr. Cherry now appeared in obedience to the rule then granted, calling upon him to enter into securities to keep the peace towards his wife. Mr. Cherry and her husband, it appeared, lived unhappily together, and she absconded from the rectory and betook herself to Reading, from the church of which he one day took her forcibly, and, placing her in a carriage, compelled her to return home. She was confined to her room, but contrived to escape again ; and be threatened, by communications which reached her, that he would discover her place of concealment, and compel her forcibly to return home. She was alarmed, she stated in her affidavit, for her personal safety, and hence the ground upon which the Court granted the rule calling upon the rev. gentleman to enter into sureties to keep the peace towards her. Sir F. Thesiger showed cause against the rule, and contended that Mr. Cherry had used no more force than was necessary to compel his wife to do her duty and to return to him in obedience to his will, there being no ground whatever for her ab sence. The Court was now asked to interfere against the duty of a wife and the power of a hui band. Mr. Justice Crompton—A. husband may use a proper degree of force, but he must not commit a breach of the peace. Lord Campbell—A certain degree of force with out - violating the law is allowed. Sir N'. Thesiger— It would be the most dangerous thing in the world if the Court made a husband enter into securities to keep the peace towards his wife, because, in exercising a right confessedly his by law, he might slightly overstep the required limits. Mr. Justice Crompton—lt was always a danger ous thing to exercise force in these cases, and parties eught to take care that they do nut violate the law. Lord Campbell—We think that the woman is entitled to our protection, Sir 1. Thesiger—Having utterly neglected her duty, Mrs. Cherry asks to be put in a situation which will prevent her husband exercising the right which b,longs to bim. Mr. Justice Wightman—There are other modes of proceeding for the restitution of conjugal rights. Lord Campbell—On a former occa-ion there was a breach of the peace, Mr. Cherry having used more force than the law justified, and the words used in his letters to her bear a construction that a similar breach of the peace will be repeated, and for the protection of the lady I think we ought to require him to enter into sureties. Sir F. Thesiger—Of course I cannot resist your lordship's opinion ; hut if you compel securities to be given in this oase, you will place parties in the same situation as Mr. Cherry in a very difficult position—a wife may swear whatever she pleases, and obtain the protection of the Court, and the husband's tongue is completely tied. I venture to say that is a most unreasonable practice. Lord Campbell—Such is the law, and I believe that on the whole it is a salutary law. Sir F. Thesiger—lt gives great encouragement to oases of this description. On the application of Mr. Huddlestone, for Mrs. Cherry, Mr. Cherry was ordered to enter into securities to keep the peace towards his wife, him self in 1001., and two sureties in 501. each. POLICE lINT.ELLIGENCE—Jan. 28. MANSION-HOITSE.— John Healey, a noto rious thief, was charged with the following impu dent robbery : G. Tilley, police-constable No. 643, said—About 7 o'clock last night, in consequence of information I received, I went into Angel-alley, Bishopsgate, and saw the prisoner coming over a place called the Ruins. I asked him what he had done with the parcel he had stolen, and he denied having had such a thing in his possession. I took him hack to the part of the Ruins he bad come fiom, and found lying on the ground a shirt and. Some linen cloth which I produce. I then took him'and the bundle to Bishopsgate police-station, will.° I met Mrs. Ellis, who said, " That's the lad who robbed me of my bundle." This morning I rixade a further Search, and found the brown paperi and string I produce, the former having Messrs. Silver's name upon it. Mary Anne Ellis, a poor widow, said, I work for Messrs. Silver and Co., outfitters, Cornhill. List night I received at their warehouse a pattern shirt, and about 27 yards of linen. It was wrapped up in the brown paper produced by the officer. I was taking it home to make into shirts, and in pas 4ing by Rose-alley, Bishopsgate-street, the prisoner tore the bundle from my arms and ran down the alley with it. I told the last wi'uess what hail occurred, and he went in search of and apprehended the prisoner. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery, and said the prosecutrix had mistaken him for somebody else. The gaoler informed the Lord Mayor that the prisoner was an old thief, and had been in custody . on previous occasions. The Lord Mayor committed the prisoner fortrial, and directed the constable to produce the c4rtifi cates of the former convictions at the Central Criminal Court. ---- GUILDHALL.—WiIIiam Denton Flowerciew, a hosier's assistant, lately ilt the employ ot Mr. Met , sent, of Croydon, was brought up on remand charged with obtaining various goods by menus of forged orders, with intent to defraud Messrs. Hitch cock & Co., of St. Paul's Churchyard, and 'other city firms. After witnesses had been examined in support of the case, Alderman Hale, having cautioned the prisoner, asked if he had anything to say in answer to the charge. The prisoner declined, but handed in the follow ing written statement : "My Lord,—l have pleaded guilty,' and still feel in duty bound to tell my reason as far as I feel able what induced me to commit the crime in question. I shall always believe to the day of my death that when the crime was committed I must have been in a stat 4 of in sanity, for a thief I never was, and can challenge the world to make MO such. About ten days (belieire me, my Lord) before I left my kind employer, Mr. Messent, I met with a great disappointment ; indeed, my future happiness depended entirely upon it. This, my, Lord, preyed much upon my mind — made me quite unfit f business. Indeed, I was at times a lost man—dii not know what I was about half my time. My ma-ter must have noticed the change of conduct in me during the last ten days I was with him. Through this disappointment, my Lord, I was compelled to disappoint another, and rather than have done that I would have suffered death in preference. My heart became full of sorrow, my mind bewildered with troubles. I loft my kind master, for what reason I cannot tell. The fact is just this :—I was not in a sound state of mind even at that 1110 1 nent. After I had left him, my Lord, a few days, I short of money, still pierced with a heart full of s'prrowe, and wearied with a multitude of sins, drove me to e. 'li mit this crime I am now charged with. What folhwed ? After I had turned the goods into money I !took to drinking, thinking it would drown my sorrow.; ; I ieetead of which it made me still more wretched and unhappy. But I now throw myself at your mercy. My 'Lord, I hope you will have mercy upon me ; reireernber I never was before a magistrate in my life till n and it shall be my last as welt as my first. I also h pe, Lord, that before you pass sentence upon me on will bear in mind I have been in prison now 14 days, and that period of time may have been as great a putiishnieni. to me as 10 years would have been to a hardened thief. I do pray and hope that my prosecutors will 14ead for mercy on my behalf. I repent and feel sorry for what I have done, but, thank God, you have not lost your geode, which will be a little in my favour. II hope, gentlemen, you• will forgive and forget, as I feel teat God has forgiven me for all. 1 have offered prayers night and day.when in my dungeon, and am it , !,uviticed my prayers have been heard and answered. lam no: sorry for one thing I have committed this crin?e, for it has been the means already of bringing me fearer to . my Saviour. Figiin ,hope, my Lord, y'u will have mercy upon me for the sake of my poor old aged parents, who are now on their bed of sickness with bruktin hearts, caused through me. Oh ! my Lord —also myi prosecu tors—do have mercy on me, as it is my first offrnce, and believe me it shall be the last. The next Judge 1 shall meet will be the one that will judge us all. " New; ate, 1858. "PRISONER FLOWS] The prisoner was then committee for tri lecanie OM" LI. )ied 11111011ies Lc ton of BOW-STREET.—Mr. Hall was occu about two hours in disposing of cr. gi-sui arising from a quarrel between the condi left in from omnibuses belonging to rival conupailiei. i The complainant in one C 5130 and the cbgendan , iu the other was a man named Daley, foimerly a. policeman, but now a conductor in 'the *vice of the London General Omnibus Company. !Though years' cionmaesituheenpecoloifcielafvo In cross examination he denied having been dis ,3aalPlLuonna the 20th ie irnege'beheena s ti e t n te e d e.d t t h o at t w l , e , ent for assaulting his inspector. Daley and OliaBrlt. A squabble took place between vie° of the es - Butter, a conductor in the ser- Saloon Omnibus Ccmpany. A scuffle ensued, when another of the Saloon Company's conductors, named John Peck, interfered and dragged Daley away. The first summons was against Peck, for an alleged assault on Daley, in separating him from Butler. The evidence, however, was of so conflict ing a character that Mr. Hall dismissed the case, observing that these quarrels between rival omnibus companies were becoming a great public nuisance, and stringent measures ought to be taken for their suppression. The second summons was on the part of Butler, charging Daley with an assault. After healing a number of witnesses, Mr. Hall convicted Daley, and fined him 21. 10s. and costs. Frederick Henry Ward, a working carpenter, was fined 205., or in default sentenced to eight days' i m p r is o nment, for assaulting Sergeant Bailey, of the A division, who h ad removed him from St. Martin's at H a ail,where he was interr u pti ng th e speakersm e eting of the Protesta n t N a ti ona l Society. MARLBOROTTG a-STREET.—Mrs. Caroline Mary Scoones, of No. 30, Old Bond-street, applied to Mr. Bingham under the Marriage Act for an order to protect her property against her husband, Mr. George Scoones, who had deserted her and con tributed nothing towards her maintenance. Mrs. Scoones said that about two years ago she was obliged to bring her husband to that court fur ill-using her, and the sentence on him was two months' imprisonment. Her husband was sent to prison, and from that day she had never spoken to him, nor had he taken the least notice of her or done anything towards the support of his family She had maintained herself and two children for two years without assistance by letting her house, and she wanted to secure her furniture and property against any attempt on the part of her husband, should he again make his appearance. Mr. Bingham asked if the furniture and property had been acquired since the desertion. The applicant replied in the affirmative. Mr. Bingham immediately granted the order, to take effect from the day of application. _ Charles Marshall and John Isitt were charged with embezzling money the property of their em ployer, Mr. Hammond, musicseller, Regent-street. The prosecutor had suspicion that he was robbed, and a communication was made to the police. Police-sergeant Crocker and police-constable Jay wer.3 employed to investigate the matter, and th y sucseedsd in procuring direst evidence of embezzle m-nt and robbery on the part of Marshall and of robbery on the part of Isitt. The prisoners were accustomed to steal quantities of music, and Mar shall was detected in selling music to customers and pocketing the money. As it was believed that an extensive system of robbery had been carried on, Mr. Bingham re manded the case till Tuesday next. WORSHIP-STREET.—Caroline Alton, a chubby-faced girl of 14, was charged with robbing her mistress of a purse. The robbery was of the usual common-place de scription, and the girl appeared to have been incited to its commission by evil associates. She was re manded for the attendance of her parents, and yes terday her father, a clean, tidy-looking man, pre sented himself, and Mr. Hammill, as it was manifest that merely imprisoning the girl would be likely to do her more harm than gcod, at once came to the point by asking the man—Are you willing to pay something towards your daughter's support in a reformatory, if I can tend her to one ? Father—l am quite willing, sir, but lam not able just now. I have no work ; I had no fire in the gcate last night till the clergyman brought me a ticket for coals, and I have not broken my fast, I may say, for a long while. Mr. llammill—Then, how do you live ? Father—Well, I go alongshore, and pick up old jobs ari I can. I was in Somerset-house for five years, and can have a good character from there, and after that I was with a medical gentleman at the West end making sodawater, but he retired from busi ness, and I lost my place. Mr. Hammill—From what I hear, your daughter seems to have got into bad company ; has she no mother ? Father—She has not, sir, and I am sorry to fiud that she has gone wrong. Mr. Hammill--What did she cost you, do you think, for her keep, while living at home with you —2s. a week ? Father—No, sir, oh no. Mr. Ilammill—Not 2s. l Well, then, she must have cost you one shilling Father—Not as I could afford to keep her, sir : it was very little she had. Mr. Hammill—Well, you must pay to the insti tution I shall send her to a sum in proportion to whatever you earn, for, of course, what she would ' cost you at home 3ou ought to be willing to pay for her while away, and being better taken care of than it appears that you can. Father—l will most gratefully do so, sir. Mr. Hammill—Very well, then ; I wilt now tell you what I shall do. I shall order her to be im prisoned for seven days for this offence, which has been clearly proved against her, and after that I shall send her to a reformatory at Hampstead, where S'lf3 must remain for four years. It is the first institution we have of the kind for girls, and has been lately certified by Sir G. Grey as the Rescue Society's Rtformatory. Your (laugh. er will be one of the first accepted by this excel nt esta blishment, and I trust will not disgrace herself while there, but by attention, industry, and study ing to grati'y those under whose care and instruc tion she is placed, set an example to others who may be fortunate enough to f 'now her. The man thanked the ma gistrate very w arm l y , and father and daughter parted with eac h other, apparently very well pleased with the arrange. ment. ggloatchee, Brown,rd . s el w , L 4 Brussels,oßf b !h n i e I r . i e n - Il e Lue z s B b a e p e t n is ttewiLc twice cat, trieda nativean and c ° o a f . stody for som e days on a cnarge . o btaini;,g goods under false pretences, and five valuable, guns from M.

The evidence clearly established the charge aga tr inst the prisoner, and he was fully committed for ial.

THE WEATHER AND TEE PARKS. NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. Owing to the intense cold and frost which has set in, the waters of the royal parks were yesterday visited by some thousands of people, a great num ber disporting themselves upon the ice. In the St. James's-park aboul; 3,000 skaters and sliders were upon the frozen surface of the water. and notwithstanding that about mid-day a rapid thaw took place, yet the more numerous still kept on the ice, despite the repeated warnings given. The result was that a good number fell through, but owing to the admirable arrangements of the Royal Humane Society were extricated, and hap pily with perfect safety. The ice at this place was about two inches thick. At Regent's-park there were about 4,000 persons, nearly half that number being upon the ice, and, as in the case at St. James's, when the thaw took place, they almost to one kept on notwithstanding the warning given. There were several immersions, and one young man, named John Papworth, being taken out by the society's iceman, from a depth of about six feet, in an almost insensible state, but fortunately, by the excellent remedies of the society, was enabled to go home. The skating and sliding was kept up until a late hour by some, but the more cautions came off before dark. The Serpentine, Hyde-park, likewise, had about 800 skaters and sliders, and in the course of the day numerous accidents occurred, but none of a fatal character. The ice-men were actively engaged on the look out, at the same time cautioning the more adventurous to go off, but very little need was taken by them. THE LONG WATER.—About 3,000 skaters and sliders visited this water, the ice at one part of the day being about two inches thick. The skating club had pitched their marquee, and several of the mem bers were upon the ice. Some accidents occurred, but none of them of a very serious character ; but one of the gentlemen of the club was immersed, and managed to get out himself, and after a time went home in his wet clothes. On the Round Pond there were upwards of 2,000 skaters and sliders, and about two o'clock some few accidents happened, all of which were more or less seen to by the society. In the evening several inquiries were made at the various receiving-houses for persons missing, and who were supposed to be droWned, but all anxiety was set at rest by the fact that no report of any death had been received. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT BOLTON. An alarming and fatal railway accident occurred yesterday morning at Bolton at the terminus of the London and North-Western line from Liverpool to Bolton. About half past 6 o'clock a heavy goods train had come up to Bolton from the direction of Liverpool, consisting of an engine, 14 merchandise waggons, and 18 waggons laden with coals. 'This train should have stopped on an incline near Har greaves' cotton factory, about 300 yards short of the passenger station, in order that the goods waggons might have been shunted upon branches and taken into the goods yard, but there had been a frost dur ing the night, followed by a rapid thaw, and this had left the rails so slippery that when the breaks were applied on the incline they would not hold, and the goods train by its great weight forced on the engine at a rapidly increasing speed, into the passenger station, carrying everythin g before it. Beyond the bottom of the incline about 100 yards the line crosses Crook-street on a level, and the gates on either side this street, placed there to protect it, i were dashed to pieces without impeding the progress of the train. The passenger station in Great Moor street consisted of a booking-officeand waiting-room for passengers, having a handsome portico in front, supported by massive stone columns. Behind this building, which was in two stories, was a shed about 50 yards long covering the line, and at the terminus of the line, behind the booking-office, were six pas senger carriages, formin g a train that was shortly to have been despatched to Liverpool. The advancing goods train ran into this train of passenger carriages, driving them through the booking-office ' demolish ing one-half of the station, and forcing two of the further carriages across Great Moor-street. When the station fell, about 25 yards of the shed behind it also gave way, and came down upon the advanc ing train. The engine of the goods train did not meet with sufficient impediment to stop its progre is until it had run upon one of the passenger car riages, entit elydemolishing itand coming close upon the ruins of the booking-office. In all there were six passenger carriages, the engine, and three wag guns laden with merchandise; shattered and nearly knocked to pieces, besides the booking-office and shed. A plate layer named George Royle was standing on the step of the engine, and he was killed by the ruins of the shed and booking-office coming down upon him. Royle had got upon the engine to go to his work, and while the train was descending the incline he got down to the step with the intention of jumping off, but the engine driver warned him that it would be dangerous, at the speed they were goine, and he remained in that d position to the last . The bre tksuaan was jerked off the train before get ting thet station, a the fireman also got off safely before the train reached the station. The driver, Richard Rigby, courageously stuck to his engine to the last, and his life was saved by crouching incumbent down under a falling beam of the hooking-office, one end of which fell across the engine above the place where he stood, and prevented the super clean. mass from crushing him. ng Out the bookino• when iej tired by th© o -o ce the building A woman WAS - ..no eqe d d as Crook-street and should have been no person inju, y.

He hoped the petition would be adopted as that of the whole proprietary body, &c. (Hear, hear.) He could not too strongly denounce the proposition of change as one fraught with the greatest possible danger to the BAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST. [A portion of tho following appeared in our late edition of lAA evening :]— The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking was held this day at the Bridge House Hotel. Leo Schuster, Esq., occupied the chair. The report, which has already appeared in The Sun, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the proprietors would see by it that the capital had nearly been exhausted in order that works that could not be any longer delayed might be undertaken, and they had also had recourse to the suspense account, but the shareholders might rest assured that the utmost economy would be still carried on. The Lewes station was one of the causes that could not be delayed, and in consequence of the growing traffic at that point it was found that the alterations proposed amounted to nearly an entire rebuilding of the station. At the Lewes station trains arrived daily from London, Brighton, Newhaven, and Hastings ; to each of those places trains also left, and it was to accommodate this great amount of traffic that the alterations had become absolutely necessary. In a very short time they would have at this station, in addition to the traffic he had mentioned, that arriving at Uckfield, and he felt sure the shareholders would agree with him that the improvements that had been executed were-absolutely necessary. The next point in the report that called for notiee en hispart, and It was a most agreeab'e one, was their debenture debt. It was a well-known fact that during 1857, they had gone through a crisis, and money was not to be had under 6i per cent., but at the present moment the rate of interest paid by the company was only 41. 35., and it was also satisfactory to state that not a single mort gage bond had been renewed at any increased rate, The report did not shays- the usual increase in the revenue account, but it was - satisfactory to know that this was not occasioned by any actual falling off of the ordinary traffic, but arose entirely from the cessation of the great traffic which bad been carried on during the Cri mean war, The goods traffic shows a deficiency ; but, looking to all things, it was satisfactory to find that this circumstance had not arisen from a falling off, but from the stopping of building operations in their immediate district. They had no large manufactories in their iin. mediate locality, and therefore they could not expect to derive a vary large revenue from such a source, (Hear, hear.) It is satisfactory to find that the expenditure had not increased, although they had largely increased the number of trains, and reduced the amount of fares and periodical tickets. The only item of increase was—and he was sorry to say it—in tax Alen. Th e amount actually paid ty the company in tax, income This paysil:dividend of Si per cant, t a x, amounted to no less a heavy payment took off considerably f rom the amount might soon arrive at divisible for dividend. To it took 130,0001., so the meeting how much each had to pay for taxes. The company would have to go again to Parliament to oppose the scheme certain parties attempted to coerce them into leasing ; it was a line commencing at Godalming and terminating at Havant, and called the Portsmouth Rail way. He really did not know why it was called the Portsmouth Railway, but this he knew that they did not feel called upon to lease the line. (Rear.) The company called themselves an independent company, and he called upon them to act independently. They had made the line, why not work it themselves. (Hear, hear.) Let them bring their traffio to our line and we will carry it on on advantageous terms. (Hear, bear.) He felt confident as to the result of the contest, for he was sure that Parliament would never sanction such a theft and inroad on the privileges of any company. (Hear, hear.) He would next allude to an object of vital importance to the shareholders. They had a very excellent station at London-bridge, which accommodated ' the City traffic, but they had no accommodation for the traffic west of Temple-bar. The directors had constantly been looking out for a west-end station, and we now had an opportunity of crossing the Thames, and accord ingly, after mature deliberation, the directors had accepted an offer which had been made to 'them by a company for constructing a railway, commencing on the south side of the river at Battersea, crossing the Thames and terminating at the Grosvenor basin, situated at the end of Victoria -street, Westminster. The proposed sta tion will be called th e Victoria station, and it e would be situated i n th e cen t re o f th e western part of longth felt by metro polis, and th e wan t o f which had ber S o the company would be accomplished. Lookingpossaestsitohne immense advantage to be derived •n io lishecfrlom the of a West-end t er minus, the dir ectors had no hesitation in recommending the adoption the scheme. The arrange talents made, subject to r proprietors, is, that the bridge overthet he se terminus,Thames,anctionof s theh the line shall of be vested and the necessary site for th in this bridge the f a prom o t tn he , i te rs, purpose of constructing reserving way over the station on such portion of the site as would not be required by the Brighton Company. It was also further agreed that the Brighton Company should not be called upon to bear any of the preliminary or parliamentary e xpenses. Compared with the advantages to be eerived from the possession of a West-end terminus at Pimlico, he thought the cost was extremely small. After a few other observations the hon. gentleman resumed his seat by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. SCOTT, deputy-chairman, seconded the motion. Mr. ASHMORE said the report stated that it was the intention of the directors to make a railway to connect Steyning, Henfield, and West Grinstead, with Shore ham and Horsham. Now he thought that such a line would be anything but remunerative,: and he therefore moved that that part be omitted. Mr. ADDISON seconded the amendment. After a short discussion the amendment was put to the meeting and negatived. Mr. BELL asked whetter the parties connected with the Victoria-station and Pamlico Railway were substan tial parties The CHAIRMAN said the law officers had been in com municetion with Mr. Kelk, a gentleman of the highest respectability, and the other parties promoting the rail. way. They had seen the agreement entered into with the marquis of Westminster, which fully proved teat the parties were empowered to go on with the works, which it was considered would greatly improve the pro perty in the neighbourhood. After a short discussion, the report was put to the meeting and carried. A formal resolution, empowering the directors to carry out the works mentioned in the report, fir the payment of the dividend of 3e per cent, for the half-year, and the retiring directors having been re-elected, the proceedings terminated, after some oppisition on the part of Capt. Young, who. moved a resolution for the discontinuance of the Sunday and excursion ',raffle, which WAS rejected, with a vote of thanks to the Chairman. ff- I true interests of the natives of India. He should cor dially support the petition. Mr. PRINSEP (director) denied that the Rest India Company had discouraged the spread of Christianity in India. Their reason for not having urged it more forcibly was that they wished to extend to the natives the same religious toleration that was enjoyed by the Christians, and also out of respect to their religious prejudices. (Hear, hear.) On the day of humiliation the sermons of all the preachers in this metropolis laid the blame of the mutiny to the East India Company, in consequence of circulars previously sent round to them from the Church Missionary Society to that elbeot—a society that had been especially favoured by the company in India, but he had reason to know the contents of the circular did not meet with the concurrence of the bishops in India, because they could not agree in its assertions. He contended the company had done all they could to develop the resources of India. The company was a responsible body,being responsible both to Parliament and the people through the medium of the press. He cancluded by defending the conduct of Lord Auckland, relative to the Affghan war, and throw the whole blame of it on her Majesty's Government. 11jr. WHITE, took that opportunity, as a pro prietor of stock, of expressing his firm approval of Mr. Crawshay's motion. The CHAIRMAN then addressed the Court at some length, in the course of which he asked for a searching inquiry on the part of the Government, before making the proposed change. It was to be expected errors had been committed, but when their administration had been examined, and inquired into, he felt certain it would be found, in the words of Mr. Mill, the Indian . historian, " that no Government had ever manifested more dis interested benevolence or an earnest desire to improve the condition of its subjects than had the East India Government, and the black spots to be discovered would be but few." (Hear, hear.) He directed atten tion to memorials received from several Rajahs in India, in favour of the present government, and expressed an opinion that the proposed change had been ill-timed The hon. gentleman read documents received recently from India. One of them was from Mr. Grant, President of Benares, denying that he had pardoned any one Or had committed the errors attributed to him. His object in reading the letter was in illustration of the state of public feeling that could alone have led to the concoction of many of the extraordinary stories that had been put firth He had always considered two points were necessary for the Government of India, first, that absolute authority should be in the hands of imperial authority ; and, secondly, that by some means or other there should be a body of advisers—a non-political body—(hear)—a4 independent body—to stand between the Indian and the independent he knew new of direct action of the Home Government. It was essentialparty change that or party its should be e a body a politics, none better than the Board of Directors. Referring to the remarks that had been made by previous speakers, hesaid that the Court of Directors concurred with the Government in the annexation of Oude, but he thought that was not sufficient to dissolve the company, seeing the Government was a pareice l is eriiniKis, but he believed, with Sir J. Lawrence, that that was nut the cause of the mutiny. It could not be laid down too clearly that, in the Government of India in this country, proselytism was not the business of the Government. He denied the charges that had been brought against the Company with reference to patronage, and enumerated many of the illustrious men who had been connected with the Company's service, as a proof that that " nepotism" ranks snot the general impression of the public, f r o m whose their army and officers were drawn* After some man concluded further remarks the hon. gentl e for the by asking proprietors' support and co; - currence in the directors' petition. After a few remarks from Mr. Browns, relative to the spread cf Christianity in India, Colonel RATIIIORNE asked the chairman to explain the rights and privileges of the East India Company that would be affeeted by the transfer of the power to the Crown. He thought they surrendered their rights and privileges in 1833. Mr,-MILLS-The right of meeting here and electing directors. Two most important rights. There were also territorial rights which they possessed. Mr. J. P. WILLOUGHIfft M.P., (director), signed the petition, and concurred in its prayer. As a nominee of the Government he did not, on becoming a director, surrender his independence, and he should in parliament, and at that Board, take such a course as he considered beneficial to the interests of India. He thought the time taken for the proposed change would act as a premium for mutiny in India, and if this measure be carried, advantage would be taken of it as a sign of weakness. He approved of the policy that had been pursued in India, especially with regard to religion. He thought they had done right iu giving religious toleration, instead of forcing Christianity on the natives. Ile read a letter he had received from the Archbishop of Dublin, approving the course that had been adopted by the Government of India with reference to Christianity in India, and deprecated the charges that had been brought against it on that head. He would not then enter into the q uestion of patronage otherwise than to say , that it was honestly exer cised by the Boatel, and every widow and orphan's chtiins were justly met. The Court here never inter fered with appointments in India, but left it to the local goverrinieet there, a course that would probabl / be changed when the barrier of that house was withdrawn. He denied that this was a national mutiny, but purely a military one. Mr. CRAWSHA.Y then - replied. He considered the predieposing cause of the mutiny was the Affghan war. He entered at great length into the various Arguments that had been used by the different speakers, and after quoting at great length from documents in support of his own views and the resolution he had proposed to ti e meeting, and referred to the garbled despatches of Sir A. Burnes by th 4 Government as a pretext for the the shun war, said they deserved puni-hinent for the nefarious act as much as any culprit brought to the bar of justice. It was no less au offence than forgery. The great blot on the Gover nment of Lord Dalhousie was the annexation of Oude, which be leoked on as a crime, and he felt certain that the English people also looked upon it as a crime; and it had had a great share in producing the danger with which they were cur rounded. The sepoye principally came from Oude, sad it was natural they should be attached to the old dynasty. Toe only means of escaping from their difficulties was to do justice to Oude, the same as they had been obliged to do to Affghanistan, A great advantage to India would result in their making that Court a Parliament as it were for India, where Indian matters could be de cided on with authority. It would confer great benefit to the people of England, amid be the means of diffu-ing information iu England of which the inhabitants and even members of Parliarueut were ignorant. It only wanted courage—the stout hearts of old as spoken of by Mr. Mills. He called upon the board and proprietors to resist the proposed Government change. The resolution was then put and carried, two hands only being held up against. The CHAIRMAN then moved the adoption of the peti tion to be presented to Parliament. Sir F. COERIE (deputy-chairman) seconded the motion. Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE said the petition ignored ail mention of the proprietors, and sugested that the directors and the proprietors should each have their own petition the same as in Pitt's time. Mr. JONES moved an additional clause to the petition relative to the appointment of a council for India. He also suggested some verbal alterations, but as he could find no seconder, the amendment fell to the ground. Mr. LEWIN proposed an amendment on the ground that the petition was opposed to the facts. India had been acquired at the cost of England's honour. He denied that this was a military mutiny, and his opinion was borne out by the facts that had come to the know ledge of the publio. He then referred to the different p ira,graphs in the petition to which he objected, and entered into a consideration of them, with the assistance of numerous documents, from weich he read extracts. His remarks bad reference more partieulai ly to the company's rule in India, which had not been so perfeci, as sated in the. petition. Ho moved an amendment that the petition 'Wag con' 'try to the facts, and ought not to be a lopte , t by the Ceurt. Mr. INUKEisZIE ecended the amendment, Mr. Sergea , t GAZELEE interrupted (4 o'clock), anti said he had an amendment to move. It would ree ls him a considerable time to move it, and he aske d for an ad journment of the meeting. The CHAIRMAN said it was of the utmost importance to India that the meeting should be brought to a close that ni g ht. He and the directors were willing to sit on till that was accomplished. Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE moved the adjournment . of the debate, but as no proprietor seconded the molun, it fell to the ground. Mr. APICENZIE then proceeded to address the meet: ing, opening up the whole of the question, and referring to, and repeating most of the arguments used in discus- RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS ON STANDING ORDERS.
