BETTING AT MANOnEST;II:—F Iz sAr. The Northa m pt ons hi re M ee ti ng , which commences en Tuesday next, is the first legitmate meeting of the year, and although much untimely racing has already been grit through, little has been done to give an impetus bo the betting upon the Spring Handicaps, nous of the horses that nave recently performed having figured suf ficiently to give any clue to the. probable results of the several great events that are now about to take piece in rapid - succession. The first is the Northamptonshire Stakes, run for on Tuesday next, and for that race a great many horses have been quoted, and their deetna• hens in prices have been numerorts ; but to find the " pea" seems to be no or di nary task; The - . prices thit are offered against some of the candidates are outrageous.

EASTER HOLIDAYS, In answer to a qu.stion from. C )1. VIVIAN, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should be able on Monday to state the day her Majesty's Government proposed to adjourn the house fur the Easter reoes. EAST INDIA.(ARMY REGULATION). On the motion of aljournment till Monday, Mr. FAGAN called the attention of the Secretary of the Board of Control to the army regulation made by the Governor General of India in Council in 1855, which requires that the children of soldiers over four years of age should be sent to the regimental schools, in order to entitle such soldiers to draw for each child subsistence money of five shillings per month, and to ask whether, during the last year, any modification or alteration of that regulation had been made so as to allow the Ro man Catholie•soldiers now serving in India, who con scientiously object to send their children to these regi mental rchooli, to have theth educated in schools of their own faith without the forfeiture of their subsistence money ; and to ask further, if no such modifidation has been made, whether it Wll9 the intention of tier Majesty's present Government to afford that just relief to the con sciences of Roman Catholic soldiers now serving their e)ut.try in India. Mr. IL DAILLIE said that so far as he could learn Ino alterations had been made in the I n dian regnlation referred to, which wag identical to that of the English army. (Hoar, hear.) He thought the regulation re ferred to answered the purposes the hon. member bad in view. Mr. MAGUIRE said the regulation did not give freedom of action to the private soldier. Ile was under the power of his superiors, for with them rested his promotion, and he need not state how grievous a posi tion he was placed in with a proselytising colonel or major, The subject dropped. COMMISSIONS IN THE ARMY. Mr. BAGWELL brought before the house the sub ject of certain parties professing to obtain Commissions in the Army without purchase or examination, by rai , ,ing certain number of men for her Majesty's service, A stop ought to be put to these transactions by prevent ing parties to get commissions below the regulation charges, and without examination. Should the Govern ment ❑ot give a sati,factory answer he would at the proper time move f)r the appointment of a select CJIII - to inquire into the subject of the appointment to commissions without examination. Colonel KNOX said a more scandalous system could not exist than that now adopted of granting commissions without purchase. The system was introduced long before the present Government came into office, but by whom he did not know. It was a system ruinous to the service, and he confirmed what had been said by the hon. member relative to the improper interference of agents. General CODRINGTON said he thought it would have been bet•er if the hon. member before he brought the matter before the house had inquired if the agents acted wi!h the authority of the Government. General PEEL sird he held in his hands the circular on which these commissions were granted. would be rec,dlected that in August last every regiment in England was sent to India, which caused a great pres ure in raising recruits ; and in coe sequence of that the Commander-in-Chief, with the sanction of the Secretary for War, issued a circular, dated Ist September, which was one of necessity, and which was published in all the newspapers, relative to the raising a certain number of tken for a commission. He admitted the principle of granting commissions with out examination was bat ; but it was necessary at the time referred to to get men, and the effect of it was shown by a reference to the number of men raised. In 1855 only 33,000 men were recruited in the course of the year ; hut in the six months since the issue of the circular 86,000 man had been raised. A great many had applied, and had re ceived commissions. Their names were entered on a list as they applied, and no one had obtained a commis sion through an agent. The condition was to raise so many men and there it was he thought the agency com menced. It was impossible the young gentlemen who applied for the commissions would be able to find the men, and then it was that the agent, after the commis sion was obtained, went to the country and raised the men by probably paying a higher bounty than that given by the Government. He had no objec tion to an inquiry into the subject, but he was to say the system was at an end, the pressure of men not being now so great as they were when Os circular was issued. After s ;me remarks from L )rd BURY and Viscount GODERICH, Toe subject dropped. ENCUMBERED ESTATES COURT (IRELAND). Mr. DE VERE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, to state the intentions of the Government in relation to the Encumbered Estates Court ; and, especially, whether it was intended to make permanent the system for sale of encumbered estates, and to extend the benefit of that system to utioncumberediestates THE LATE DISTURBANCES IN DUBLIN. The O'DONOGHOE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the statements which had appeared in certain Irish newspapers, alleging that mobs bad par A ded the public streets of the city of Dublin on Saturday last, in some instances breaking the windows of police stations and of other places, molesting peace able inhabitants, forming party processions, and corn• roitting other outrages, had taken place ; whether any mea , ,ures had been adopted by the Irish Government for the punishment of such offenders, and for the future repression of similar offences ! Lord NAAS rose and replied to the two questions at the same time. He said that with reference to the first question he could only repeat his answer given on a former night that the subject was under the con sideration of the government, and after Easter the government would state the course they intended to pursue. If they did not introduce a permanentmofeasioUtehroe,t3 they would a continuance bill. With regard to th e second question he said an He ass em could sons took place in Dublin on Saturday, few say r" r w io h t ic w h as on o l f y a were students. character, tudents. and he w as h appy that the active measures t a k en b y the Governmenttohsaady preserved the peace of the city, and he was led to believe the excitement was passing away.

The University Boat-race, appointed for Saturday next, the 9,7 th instn, is expected to be one of the greatest matches on record, and is the theme of conversation in aquatic circles and at the various Cube. Those who have long witnessed rowing upon the Lis declare that a fleer University crew was never seen at Oxford ; and many who have of late vi-ited Cambridge speak in the highest terms of the rapid progress of that crew. Since they have been in the boat, indeed, their advancement in style is declared to be surprising, and under such circumstances it is no longer conjectured, as at first by many, that the odds should be considerably in favour of Ox'ord, although they ate still being backed very freely at something more than evens. The following are the crews, but as the weights appended to the Oxonians were taken some days ago, they have probably altered slightly. Some further difference in that respect will neceeearly occur between uow and the day of rowing, but in the same proportion with both. OXFORD.

The Directors of the London and South-Western Railway Com pany are prepared to receive applications for the issue of portions of the Company's Perpetual 4 per Cent. Debenture Preferential Stock, to be inscribed in the books of the Company in the names of appli cants, without payment of stamp duty or other like expense. This stock will be issued under the authority of the " South- West4rn Railway Capital and Works Act, 1855," and of a resolu tion of a special general meeting of the Company held in conformity therewith, on the 7th Augast, 1856. The amount thus raised will be exclusively applied in reduction of the debenture debt of the Company, and it will be entitled to the same priority against the property and income of the Company as the debenture debt, in substitution for which it is created. It will therefore rank before 301 the Company's stock and share capital, representing upwards of Seven Millions, on which, in the year 1857, the aggregate amount of dividend (atter payment of interest on all debenture) was 350,0001. and upwards. The fixed dividend or interest will commence from the time of payment and will be paid half-yearly.

It might be replied that it wowed rest urea Indian revenue elene, but he had shown that lone ago, when the Company was a trading company, the doctrine was recognised that England was bound to come forward in seasons of exigency. He knew that the argument he was now urging was not 'a popular one, but he knew also that the noble earl at the head of the Government did not wish that Parliament should legis late in the dark, or that any doubt should exist as to the effect of the law they were now passing. He had high authority in support of his views, for the present Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the debate upon the India Bill on Feb. 18, said : " Let naseremind the house of the bill now on the table for raising money for the service of India, and of the effect on our finance, and on Indian finance, of the proposal of Government. It is idle any longer to distinguish between English and Indian finance. If the President of the Indian Council, a Queen's Minister is Downing-street, should find it necessary to_ raise, money by a public loan to pay her Majesty's troops in Indi a , it w ill b e i dle w h en t h e di vi d ends are due upon that loan to pretend to assert that he will be able to say, if the means are not at hand, ' The Exchequer of India is empty, and the revenue of India is alone liable.' Every gentleman will see in his own mind that such a dis tinction as this between the finances of India and the finances of England cannot beretained for a moment, and that a blow on British credit at its very source, and where the tide is highest, is infallible arid inevitable." The rigbt hon. gentleman who had used this language had expreesed in the most distinct and irrefragable man ner the c )nc'ti ions to which to - (Lord Monteagle) had also come. He could net understand, indeed, by what process of rea oning any hon. Lentleinan could satisfy email that the reeponsibility would not fall upon this country if there were any deficiency in the revenue of India which the Gevernment had not the power of sup plying by taxation there. This was a point that required to be clearly explained, because the government had no right to leave those who lent money for India in any doubt as to the obligation for repayment. He had thought it his duty to address these observations to their lord ships, but he would not aik the noble earl for one me. meat to postpong the bill, the ; great importance of ithlai he freely admitted; (Hoer.) - • 'The Earl of ELLENBOROITak (who from turning h's back on the gallery was occasionally very indistinctly heard) said—lf I understand aright the object of the mea sure which was proposed by the elate Government, and the object of the measure to be proposed by her Majesty'si present Government, it is to give to India the benefit of a cheaper and better government, and if that object should be accomplished, undoubtedly the danger to this country from being called on to assist India in her pecu much diminished. y to be the duty o f n ol ia e ry ar, d h iffi ea c r u .) ltie w s h w a o t ul l d un b c e iers v ta er nd the person placed at the head of Indian affairs in endeavour thin country, to whoever reduce be theexpenditure may be in India as to , i s, that he should make that expenditure come within the revenue. (Hear, hear.) That is undoubtedly his first duty, and above all things he must desire, and I trust will succeed in reliev ing this country from any burden on account of India. (Hear, hear.) My lords, though the difficulty is very great, I venture to look forward with some degree of hope to the ultimate result. I recollect that when, nearly 30 years ago, I undertook the duties of the same office which I now hold the pecuniary difficulties we bad to encounter were similar to those now experienced, and then, with the assistance and under the advice of the late Duke of Wellington, in less than two and a half years we carried into effect a reduction in the expendi ture amounting to 1,800,0001., a large portion of which was permanent. (Hear, than) No doubt the pecuniary difficulties arising cut of the present condition of India are very great. We are compelled, and will be compelled, to employ ha that country more than 40 additional bat talions of European tr ;ors ; at least 10, if not many more, additional regiments of European cavalry ; and also a large force of European ar illery—a portion of the army which was formerly in the hands of the natives. Undoubtedly this causes a oval addition to the expen diture, for the expense of European soldiers is very nearly equal to three times that of the native troops. It is, therefore, perfectly impos,ible for us to effect au equalisation of the revenue and expenditure without a rseindguctien in my mind with of 64 very great reduction of the native army. (Hea r , h ear .) presentAtthreegardto the m moment that B wehnigchalisis a passing battalions ; and my noble friend may depend upon it that if I am to be at the head of this great work, I shall do it with the determination of succeeding if success be possible. (Hear, hear,) I know it will be necessary to make a great reduction of expenditure, and I am pre pared to find that this will be All act of great unpopu larity. That will be to me, however, a matter of very small account. (Hear.) I shalt proceed, as I proceeded before, in the way I have mentioned to your lordship?, by endeavouring in every direction to make all such re ductions as appear to me can be made consistently with the pubic interest. (Heir, hear.) My noble friend ob served that this loan differs altogether from the loans raised in this country--that the loans raised in this coun try are for a definite obj sot. but that this is not, being for the general expenditure of India. But, though dif fering in its general-character from the loans raised for the service of-this 'Country, This loan -entirely agrees with the power of raising money which from time im memorial has been extended to the East India Company. (Hear, hear.) The-East India Company has always had the power of raising 7,000,0001. in India, of which bor- rowing power a portion remains at the present moment unexhausted. At this moment there remains the power of borrowing about 1,000,0001. No doubt the Company has been favoured with a large extension of the power of borrowing, but all times this has seemed to Parliament to be perfectly consistent with the public interests. (Hear.) It is extremely probable that cir curnetancesiarising out of present events may render it necessary for the Government of India to depend alto gether for a time on the means of borrowing, and not on revenue. (Hear, hear.) My noble friend has looked back for 20 years, and has mentioned years in which there has been a surplus of 5,000,0001. and other years in which the deficiency has been as high as 15,000,000/. ; but my noble friend must recollect that those 20 years embraced four of war with Affghsnistan, two of war in the Punjab, and also, what I certainly cannot call a costly war, that of Seiude. The result of these wars was to add many millions to the expenditure. But if for the last 10 years of the period my noble friend has re ferred to there has been apparently added a sum of 7,000,0001., as he states, to the expenditure, he should recollect that during that time the balances in the Indian treasury have increased 3,300,0001. ; so that, in point of fact, the total increase of debt was only 3,700,0001. ; and if against the increase of debt he will place 4,000,000/. or 5,000,0001. expended on public works, some cf which are of a lucrative nature, he wilt find that the revenue during these last 10 years stands better than it did in the period before. (Hear, hear.) My noble friend has gone into d e t a ils with respect to the land and other portions of the revenue of India. I speak from recollection, but when I was in India I con sidered this question of the land revenue as closely as possib'e, and I thiekthe result of myinquiries as regards Bengal was that the land revenue might be increased about 100,0001. a-year. As regards the revenue horn opium, no one can look to it without apprehension, for varioue circumstances occurring from time to time may affect the amount received. I should have mentioned among the things that affected the Indian revenue in the period of 10 years to which I referred, the war with China, which though in one sense it cost India nothing, occasioned great lose to its revenue, the. trade in opium h a ving been reduced to the extent of 50 per cent. At the present moment the amount derived from opium is very large, and the demand for it seems to increase greatly, for it is an extraordinary fact that, notwithstanding the large amount of opium now sent to China, the cetnand is still extending in that direction. (Hear.) Now, I must say, on the supposition that we are e nabled to give good government to India, that I do not see why we should despair of seeing India hereafter raised to a state of great prosperity. It is the meet extensive empire and the richest in the world. It is traversed in all directions by noble rivers, which can be made navigable by art. We are now ti aversieg it in all directions by railroads, sad I cannot msderstand why, with all our European energy and knowledge and civilisation, we should not make India as productive as it was in the time of Arangzebe. He derived a very large revenue from the portion of In dia which he had—as large a revenue, I believe, as we now derive from the whole country. (Hear.) I confi dently look forward to the realisation of th a t o bj ec t, which, if it can he accomplished, will be particularly gra tifying to my noble friend, who very naturally takes a fiscal view of this question, and considers mainly in what ma nner the revenue of India is to be raised. I k now acts with injuri ill do more tlihguaentnp:eirdwonable that foours t :s parsimony rgsiou government jndo ntyf, on ne the le g en u po i l d ne e e d than b y hand,i nt or r l extra vagance on the other, and so impoverishes the country. (Hear, hear) I w'll only venture to say further that I hope that bef ire a fortnight has elapsed my noble friend will see that we have taken steps for proposing to Par liament measures that will have the effect, not only of g i v i n g good government to India , but of greatly im proving its revenue. (Bear, hear.) E ar l GRANVILLE—I recollect that at t h e last stage of the bill my noble friend near me complimented the noble earl opp os i te on the very sat i s f ac t or y statement which ho then mad e w i t h regard e s a t (Lord Mont to India ; but I cannot help thinking that my noble friend has not to-night followed the text on which Fe then preached. (Hear, hear.) There is no doubt that the finances of India require great attention, and I be lieve that a reform in them might be most advanta geously carried out. 1 th'nk, even with regard to the system of accounts, much remains to be done under that head. The income of last year has of course suffered from the rebellion, but I believe some compensation for that will be found in the fact of the Company having been released from some of its liabilities. I do trust that in the reorganisation of thearmy, althou g h I quite agree that it will be necessary to i ncrease ver y much the num ber of European troop', it will not be found impossible on the whole to (Hear.)reduce a considerably tafone the expenses of the Indian army . thin g I am quite certain, and that is, that the r eal eco nomy must depend on the local Government of India. (Hear, hear.) If you once encourage the local Government to believe that they have facilities for raising money , n o t on the sena rity of the Indian revenue, but-on the security of. the Crown and the Parliament of this country, there will be encouragements to a lavish expenditure, whi c h w ill not take place if they find they are checked by the difficulty of raising loans merely on the security of the Indian Go vernment itself. (Hear.) I think this is a most impor tant consideration. The noble lord referred to certain assistance which-- bad been given by this country to India at a former period. No one can doubt that el - may arise in which this country might think fit in some way or other to afford assistance to India ; but I don't understand how the form of Government at home can in the slightest degree affect that question. It appears to me that it would be entirely unreasonable to raise money now at a higher rate on the security of the Indian revenue, and then to look afterwards to the Eng lish Government for the repayment of the advance. I believe that could not have been the intention of Sir R. Peel when he stated, as he did on one occasion, that it might be necessary for this country to come to the assistance of India in a time of great difficulty. I really have nothing more to say in defence of this bill. The noble earl upon whom has devolved the responsibility of conducting it through your lordships' boase has dis pose] of the arguments raised against the measure. I entirely deny that by this bill we glee in the slightest degree any collateral security further than the revenues of India. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH—The noble earl is quite right. Neither by this bill, nor on any ether ground, can India evade in the slightest degree the lia bility thrown upon it to repay the whole of this lot!. As regards what Sir R. Peel appears to have saiii,l was in India at the time he made the speech to which refe rence has been made, and I recollect reading that speech with complete astonishment. What he could have meant I cannot understand. I felt I was thou thoroughly lode= pendent. I had to pay my own way, and I never had the slightest chance of obtaining assistance from this noun try. b eWhat assistance Sir R. Peel could have contem plated, I repeat, I cannot understand. Earl GREY—My lords, I rejoice to find that, with a single exception, there is a general repudiation by your lordships of the doctrine that by this bill any engagement whatever can be implied on the part of Parliament to make up any deficiency in the revenue of India to provide for the interest of the loan about to beneade. (Hear.) Ithini c there is no obligation, either moral or otherwise, imposed on this country to pay the debts of India. If it were otherwise, what would be the consequence I If you adoph the principle that this country may be answerable foe debts contracted by India, you must follow it up by taking care that the whole expenditure of the Indian Government shall be brought under the consideration of: Parliament, and Parliament must exercise a close ecru tiny over that expenditure. (Hear, hear.) — But more than that. If that principle is to be applied to India, must it not be extended to other dominions of the Crown! (Hear, hear.) And remember there are domieions of the Crown—such as Trinidad, the Mauritius, and others, which do not possess any representative Legislatures. I contend that the principle is one which we cannot too studiously guard against admitting either directly or in directly. (Hear.) I hold that the revenue of India, and the revenue of India alone, is pledged by this bill. (Hear, hear.) There are reasons of policy which make it desirable that English security should not extend to loans contracted on behalf of India. I think it desir able that there should be a great number of persons in this country who would take an interest in seeing that the affairs of India are so managed as to con duce to the welfare of the native population under our rule and to the interests of the mother country,- and who would exercise a check on the misgovernment of India by which the security of private property might be injured. I am persuaded that if India is properly governed the security it affords for this loan is a very good one. (Cheers.) I have heard with great satisfaction the views stated by the noble earl op p site (the Earl of Ellenborough). I believe with him the resources of India are so great that, if properly adminis tered, they will furnish ample means of repaying the debt. I was glad to hear that he looks to the possibility of re ducing the expenditure of India, especially the military exp-nditure. (Hear.) So, from the fearful calamities consequent upon the mutiny, we may at least derive this benefit, that in future the policy pursued towards India will be very different from what it has been heretofore. We have hitherto kept up a disproportionate army in India, not so much for internal purposes as with a view to meet imaginary external dangers. The real source of our calamity in India and of our future danger, is the warlike policy on which we have acted. I trust we shall now feel the necessity of keeping our army in India, and particularly the native army, within moderate limits ; and we shall then adopt the principle of not meddling in ' the affairs of our neighbour?, a course which has drawn us into expensive wars and been the cause of all our diffleulLies. If the money thrown away on the Affghan war had been applied to internal improvements, how far it would have gone to increase the security of our posi tion in the country and to e,tablish our influence in the central parts of Asia. (Hear, hear.) The Marquis of CLANRICARDE reminded the house that in 1773 Lard North complained of the con duct of the East India Company being so oppressive towards the natives that it was absolutely necessary to subject it to the control of the Crown, and at the same time proposed a loan from Parliament to the Company of 1,400,000/. No doubt, the resources- of India, If properly developed, were folly equal to make it one of the richest governments, as it was by nature about the richest empire, in the world. But to attain that end a very different system of administration must be in- troduced into that country from that which bad pre. vailed under the East India Company. The no ble earl bad referred to the reduction of the army of Bengal, but the army of Bombay required almost as much looking into it as what was left of the Bengal army, Indeed, to effect great reductions the army of - all the presidencies must undergo revision. Nor, indeed, ought their eco nomy to be confined to the military service. The sala- ries now paid to the civil service of India were in many instances in the highest degree exorbitant. If the Ad ministration of that country was to be put upon a proper footing, with a view to its being permeated throughout by British capital and British enterprise, and to its being really civilised, they must establish better laws and an improved judicial system. This, however, would lead to a considerable increase of expense, the means of defraying which could be supplied only by °ireful re trenchment in the other branches of the Government. The noble earl took too bright a view of the probable prosperity of India for Rome time ; and when he stated that at the present moment there was such a demand for opium in Cbina that the value of that drug had largely increased, and consequently that our opium revenue had greatly advanced, he should not forget that this growing demand in China would most likely induce the Government of that empire to alter a policy which, though beneficial, perhaps, to this country, was yet per f-Ttly absurd in itself. English credit and English reve nue were therefore intimately connected with questions of Indian finance. The bill was read a third time and passed. Their lErdtlips then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. ADMISSION OF JEWS TO PARLIAMENT. The Sheriffs of London and Middies, x (Mr. Alderman Lawrence and Mr. Alderman Allen) presented a peti tion from the Corporation of London, praying for the admission of Jews to Parliament.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(YEsTEnDA.r.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord FAVERSHAM presented a petition from a place in Yorkshire against the admission of the Jews into Parliament. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Brad• ford praying that an inquiry might be instituted into the proceedings by which a change in the mode in the government of India might be made. The noble lord also presented a petition from Conway, in North Wales, praying for extension of county courts. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Earl GRANVILLE begged to inquire of the noble lord opposite whether he would on Monday state the order in which he intended to proceed with public buil ness, and also whether he would state when it was in tended to adjourn for the Easter recess ? The Earl of DERBY said he would state the course he intended to pursue on Monday next. CHURCH OF ENGLAND SPECIAL SERVICES BILL. On the motion of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, ;he report on this bill was received. EDUCATION IN IRELAND. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE rose to put a question to the noble earl with respect to the course the Government intended to pursae with regard to educa tion in Leland. The noble marquis said that, from certain circumstances that had occurred, he was led to believe that it was the intention of Government to inter fere in the system of national education now pursued in Ireland. He hoped such was not the case, as the system as at present carried out had been conducive of the most beneficial results. He should, therefore, like to know whether the Government intended to alter the system, and if so, to what extent. The Earl of DERBY said that whatever difference of opinion prevailed, with respect to the merits or demerits of the present system of education, which had now been established for nearly a quarter of a century, the most eager of its opponents must admit that it had greatly improved the character of the educa tion in that country. He regretted that, as a system of united education, it had failed, inasmuch as it had been unaccompanied by any facilities by which the children could obtain religious instruction. Nevertheless, this he could state, that the Government had come to no decision on thesubject. They would do nothing to imperil the present system, and he could assure the noble marquis and the house that nothing would be done without the previous assent and concurrence of Parliament. (hear, hear.) TRUSTEES' RELIEF BILL. The report upon this bill, with amendments, was brought up and agreed to. INDIA LOAN BILL. Lord ELLENBOROUGH moved the third reading of hia bill. Lord MONTEAGLE complained that there was noth ing in the bill to show by whom or on what objects this money was to be expended. It was not even stated that it was to be spent on the public service of India, and it might be applied to any other purpose without violating the provisions of the bill. In former loan bills—in those of 1793 and 1794, for instance—the purposes for which the money was raised were specifically stated. Ile was glad to hear the President of the India Board speak in suca cheering terms of our military prospects in India, but the financial prospects were most gloomy. Of 22 years ending 1855-6, seven years only had been years of surplus, and 15 years of deficiencies. The surplus in that seven years amounted to 5,100,0001., but the 15 years deficiencies amounted to 20 340,0001. The revenue of In Jia was in a most uncertain state, and there was no chance of its being increased. The three great branches of Indian revenue were opium, land, and salt ; and the first branch might be destroyed at any time by the Chi nese Government removing the restrictions on its culti vation at home. He had no wish to throw any obstacles in the way of the passing of the bill, but, if there was a responsibility impending on this country for Indian debt, it was high time that the state of the Indian re venue should be thoroughly understood here. In 1842, when Sir R. Peel proposed the I❑come .tax Bill, he did not overlook the relations between the finances of India and those of this country. Sic R. Pi el then said : " I refer to a subject which has of late occupied but lit tle attention in the house. I refer to the state of Indian finance. lam quite aware that there may appear no di rect or immediate connection between the finances of India sod those of this country, but that would be a superficial view of our relations with India which should omit the consideration of this subject. Depend upon it if tho credit of India should become disordered—if some great exertion should become necessary—then the credit of England must be brought forward towards its support, and the collateral and indirect effects of disorders in Indian finances would be felt extensively in this country." It might be said that the revenue of India was alone pledged for the debt of India, and that as India was go , veined by its own Company the creditors of India had no c l a im whatever on the mother country. But in the event of a disorganisation of the finances of India Parliament would be compelled, both on the ground of direct duty and implied faith, to come forward. Upon two or three f ,rmer occasions—namely, in 1794, 1810, and 1812— the Government and Legislature had recognised this claim. The 50th Geo. 111. authorised a grant of Ex chequer-bills, which were charged upon British revenue, up-,n the express plea that, " Whereas the Company labour under difficulties, it is necessary to provide means for paying creditors." In 1812 a loan of 22,500,000/. was raised, 2,500,0001. of which was applied "for the reli f of the East India Company under present circum stances." If Parliament should now pass abi 1 putting an end to the East India Company, and vesting the a hole of the revenue of India in the Crown itself—in f ,ct, undertaking all the responsibility of government— how should we then stand in relation to the obligations arising from India? If the obligation did not restupon the Parliament of this country, upon whom would it rest ? Not upon the East India Company, for that
