Lord CAsTLE?,e. , NG4 moved the Order of the Day r the H;ottbe•to yebolvk it‘eif into a Committee of the whole House consider of certain India Ac comma which. being read, and the I-louse havtog resolved itself into a cototnittee of the whole House :accordingly,, Lord . CAST4ER..3AGII proceeded, to open the India Budget, lie commenced with saying he was , aware that every subjed of accounts was naturally dry and uninteresting 'to_ a popular aseetubly, and that this was, more particularly the case with respea to the Accounts to which he was gboilt to call the attention of the Committee but when it was can - , sidered that this subjea related to the whole of our vast Indian, empire, embraced a revenue of 13 millions sterling per Annan,. it would,;appear to deserve, what indeed he had no doubt it..(votild oh. tain, the serious attention of p4l i a t and . he Was gratified with the conviaion that Gentlemen would turn their serious attention to this subjea, for nothing was so calculated to produce advantages to the 'Government of a great'l. 4 .4npire;' and to the order and arrangement of its affairs, both at liotne 'and abroad, or to give confidence to the Public in the propriety of its management, as that all' classes of them should know that the stria eye of 'Parlia. anent was turoed upon its investigation. The Ace counts now before the committee were Accounts which ought to have been before• Parliament on an earlier occasion than the present, and should have been so had they arrived.. The previous Accounts were up to April that, and they were completely made up., The other Account were estimated Ac. counts only, and (hey were for the years Sl ot-2. The Accaunte now before. the Committee wets! ae. tual Aceounts'of the year t gOl-11, and an estimate of Accounts nf'the years' 1802.3, and, which were calculated, according to the best information which GOVetilltent had 'been 'able to coiled at the time when the first Account to which he had alluded was made up.' • 'Theme was a difference between the year 18ot and those of the subsequenc years, because 18ot was a year of gloat War, and that was a fad which the Committee, would bear in mind, while he had the hoondi of laying the whole of these Ac. counts before them. The years tBot.z were to be considered as years of Peace, 'and more likely, oo that account, to equal, .if not exceed, the estimates of their produce, subjea however to some observe. thous which he should have to submit to the Coen. mittee. in examining these Accounts, he should divide them, for the sake of perspicuity, into•two general heads, of Yoreign and House Accounts, and each of these naturally divided themselves into three heads..--the Revenume of the different Presidencies—:. the.
