THE NESS ISLANDS. —The Picturesque Scenery of the Ness must be impressed on the memory of all who have ever paid a visit to the Capital of the Highlands. About half a mile from town the river is studded with a Group of Wooded Islands, which greatly contribute to the beauty of the landscape. The bridges, formerly connecting them with each other, and with the banks of the river on either side, were destroyed, and carried away by the Great Flood of 1849; so that, since that time, all access to them, has been prevented. An effort is now being made to have these bridges restored, and for this purpose she sum of 8001. is required. .As a place of recrea tion for all ranks of the community, and especially for the working classes, whose interests now deservedly occupy so large a share of public attention, no park can be more desirable. The Committee appointed to further this object will most grate fully acknowledge any donation with which they may be favoured. Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer, Charles Water ston, Esq., Manager of the Caledonian Bank, Inverness; or by the agents for the Bank of Scotland, the British Linen Company, the National Bank and the Commercial Bank, at Inverness.

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matricnlated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAX be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the 'various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced . more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern path'ologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be 'violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties • may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con.equences may be avoided, and above all, that therein scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement - to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is t only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct ottentien to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting this deportment of practice, he has been amply rc arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of 'unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have beeti ( induced to place faith in their pretensions.

It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr., LA',MERT Should first obtain a copy of his work on THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. (From the Times.) . • - The population of India amounts to 150;000,000, "or thereabouts ; the number of - the East Indian potentatea ) who hold:cavrid session -in Leadenhall-street is precisely . 24. Now, it is far from our intention, by this juxtaposition of figul 'es, to draw any such conclusion as the one which .ost Archdeacon Paley a bishopric. The Czar of Rin •sia is, numerically speaking, but :a unit, and the p ro portion between this unit and the millions of ur kits submitted to his sway is infinitely more out of p ro portion than in the case of " John Coompani" a end the 150,000,000 Hindus, Mussulmans, and W. hat not, who dwell between the Himalayas and the Bay of Bengal. But the Russian is Emperox. stringently bound, by every ti e o f i n terest as. la yell as of duty, to carry on the p rocess es of Govern - • ment in such a manner as may be best calcula, ted to promote the welfare of his vast empire. Let us continue the illustration, but alt er th e case. S nit pose that the office of Czar, i n p l ac e of beini S' a permanent " appointment," w as b u t for a red term ; in point of fact, that Ni c h o l as I. were a species of Russian Director. S u ppose fig her that as the price of his elev a ti on h e had b een compelled to canvass the elect ors f o r ma ny I )re vious years ; that he had digested humiliat ion of every kind, incurred refusals five and six to nes at the door of every palace in St. Petersburg; h, bartered his future patronage for promises of support, and so finally, through the gate of humility and the byepaths of corruption, had attained the object of his ambition. Could tlbere be any doubt in such a case,',that during the tenure of his power he would farm the a.p pointments of the Russian empire.from the baton of the Field-Marshal to the insignia of a tide waiter at Kronstadt, with a single view to the advancement of his own fortunes and the advan tage of his friends and dependents ? Dearly would he have purchased the opportunity, and strenuously would he labour, no doubt, to make hay while the sun shone. The position of an East Indian Director is pretty much that of the Russian Autocrat in the supposed case. We do not quarrel in a certain sense with Directors for using the position which they have laboured so hard to attain for the benefit of their families and their immediate friends While human nature is human nature it is but natural that Sir Horatio Mulligatawny should hold that his eldest son John, who is of a studious turn, and has already made considerable progress in the Greek contract verbs, will one day or other prove an ornament to the bench in the Sudder Dewanny Adawlut, after he has collected taxes for certain years in the Trichinopoly district ; that Theodoric, who has ever been friends with the old family coachman, is admirably adapted for cutting his country's enemies to pieces in the light blue and silver of the Madras Cavalry ; and that the lively Timothy, his youngest hope, has been predestined by fate to a " direct appointment" to the Bengal army without the preliminary purgatory of Addis combo. The only surviving son of Sir Horatio's widowed sister, Louisa Ramsbottom—the late Major Ramsbottom was on the Bombay establish ment—is a damp and flaccid student at St. Cathe rine's Hall, and has already given evidence of strong theological twitches in his character. Why should he not have the chaplaincy which falls to his uncle's gift by rotation, or can readily be procured by ex change of patronage with a brother Director ? The chances are that the young men will discharge the duties of their several posts quite as satisfactorily as their compeers, according to the Indian standard. We do not say that a very high-minded man would so juggle with his conscience, but we must not apply too high a standard to human transactions if we would avoid diimppointment. The East Indian: Director uses his patronage as 99 per cent. of his predecessors .have done before him, and precisely as his co-Directors are using it at the present moment. If, then, the p - eople of India groan under such a mal-administration of justice, or rather under such an adminiitration of injustice as that of which we gave a few examples on -Satur day last, it is not for their own benefit, nor is it for the benefit of the population of these islands, who have as little to do with the matter as they have with the internal administration of Patagonia or Rupert's Land. The only persons really bone fitted in the business are the 24 East Indian Di rectors and their appointees. The Directors, as we before observed, are 24 in number—the popu lation of India 150,000,000 —in other words, each Director farms 6,000,000 or thereabout of human beingls for the benefit of his family, relations, and friends. The specimens of Madras justice which we laid before our readers on Saturday were but a few instances taken at random from Mr. Norton's pamphlet: This gentleman had but culled a few flowerets from the reports of the Courts of the Civil and Criminal Appeal in the Madras Presi dency. These reports were only begun in 1849, but they are more than sufficient to s h o w the method of legal administration in India7tet it be re- memiked that whilst tax-gatherers are placed upon the seat of justice, there are hundreds and hun dreds of young and middle-aged men in this country amply qualified to discharge the duties of their profession, who are starving in Westminster hall. Common sense will not make a man a lawyer, more than it will qualify' him for a surgeon. In the selection of judges why should competent lawyers be just the' persons overlooked ? Why, here we have before us 'a case in which a suit was brought for a piece of ground of the value of 15 rupees (11. 10g.) and a houseof the value of 40 rupees (4/.), and for an ihjunction to have a wall built. The case was tried five times, and then one court of appeal overruled the decision of their im- mediate Predecessors. Then we come upon another, in which the plaintiff had exercised no right over the land in dispute since 1806. The case was tried five times. At last the Judges decree was reversed, and it was declared that the Statute of Limitations barred all further litigation. In another case a simple fact was at issue—was there or was there not a division of family ? This was tried four times over, and th e Sudder Court remitted it for a fifth trial. Think of your Indian brethren, ye unreasonable Jarndyces of England— clap your hands and rejoice that ye live in a country where justice is cheap, speedy, and just I Then, there is a special appeal from a decision of the sub judge of Calieut. The matter in dispute was of the value of ten rupees, with one rupee damage, for cutting plantains. The case was, tried four times, and is marked in the report as remanded for a fifth trial. Then .we have a " leading case" from a decision of the Judge* of Salem. The suit was brought to recover a - house alleged to have been forfeited under a mortgage bond. Th e bond was illegal, as having beenexecuted "to save the defend.: ant s property from liability to satisfy the claims of other persons." The sub-judge decided for the plaintiff by giving . him . _ . 4a . mge . s, not the house—h e : was out of possession. The judge on appeal decided that the plaintiff had no right, because the sale was nominal. Then, one judge of the Sudder admitted an appeal which thetwoothersoverruled. It turned out after all that the 'snit which. operated upon a value of 124 rupeeliad been barred frOm the be ginning by limitation. Of another case Mr. Norton writes :—" It will be observed that this is nothing but a continuance. of errors from. first to last. The ' first judge decides. upon a. copy of an instrument. The next judge decides that the defendant s h ave fraudulently made away with the very instrument which would prove their case ; and, lastly, the im portant point of law in it is overlooked altogether. ' The case has already been tried five times." These stories of fresh trial upon trial meet us at every sentence. Considering the present condition of the Indian bench, and that every fresh trial appears but to lead to a fresh blunder, one can scarcely help wishing that the first blunder were held decisive, without possibility of reversal or power of appeal. _ _ We will conclude with one or two examples of criminal justice, if but to complete the picture. Three persons were committed on a cha o r j g rud e deg o thech h e a r charged oc d e ad 7it dt h .h I . 1 a T vn eh g ye. accordinglyrfeethedwlmur der beat tw o 5 t a 11 n e d othersfikickedrtos first killlvas tried the case convicted them only of "culpable homicide ; because, as water was thrown on the de ceased in order to revive her, it does not appear that they intended -to kill her." This " culpable homicide" would appear to be a favourite decision with Indian judges, who do not like calling things by hard names. It was so held by a learned func tionary in a case in which a man confessed that he had stabbed another in a fit of resentment, because he interfered in a quarrel between th e pr i soner and a third person. Sometimes, however, the de cision of an Indian Old Bailey goes the other way, and the mercy of one judge is qualified by th e se verity of another. Here is an instance : Two men fall out ; about twenty minutes afterwards, the one goes up to the other and gives him a blow with a bullock yoke. The man so struck never jspoke again. The judge who tried the case held ' that the prisoner should have been arraigned for murder, and not for culpable homicide, as was the case. lie decided that he had incurred the punish ment of death. We know not what lurking doubt of the legality of hiS decision may have operated upon the mind of this learned individual, but we find him interfering in the prisoner's favour with tke court above, by leaving it for th e cons id erat i on of the Foujdaree if a lighter punishment than death might not be 'inflicted., "because the parties were near relatives and had ' previously been on friendly terms." No doubt, to. a sensitive and well-regu lated mind, the fact that the 'person murdered was in friendly relations with the murderer must give many an additional pang, Lawyers in estimating Punishment should, of course, entertain the ques tion of the character and amount of an hypothetical repentance. We can conceive cases in which the anguish of a murderer may have been so great in consequence of his act as not only to exonerate him from the halter, but absolutely to entitle him to a pecuniary reward from sympathising humanity could the balance be but nicely adjusted.. We will conclude our .brief notice of criminal cases by men tioning one of robbery, in which a prisoner was convicted of having stolen goodS, not only without proof, but in the teeth of a declaration from the alleged owners. that the property in question did not belong to them. We are compelled by our limits to break off at this point with our abstract of Indian leading cases. It cannot be for the ad vantage of India that justice should be so traves tied. The general population of the three kingdoms have no interest but that India should be contented and prosperous—a fertile producer of all that we require, and a bountiful customer in return. For whose benefit is a system maintained in which she ki too misgoverned to produce and too poor to pur ch. ase ? Who gains but the Directors and their friends, and are not justice and good government too dear to be - bartered for their-favour t NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 22. Orders from the Admiralty were received here to-day fully to man her Majesty's ship the Queen, 116, Capt. Mitchell. She has 400 men ; her, complement is about 900. This is stated to be preparatory to her receiving the flag of the Admiral of the Channel fleet. The Vengeance, 84, Capt. Lord Edward Russell, with four months' provisions on board, continues in the Sound, hourly expecting orders to proceed to the Medi terranean. The Espiegle, 12, Commander G. Hancock, arrived at Spithead this morning from Sheerness, on her way to the West Indies. The London, 90, Captain Mundy, was paid ad vance d wages at Spithead this morning. The Fairy steam-yacht, Master Commander Welch, proceeded out of harbour this morning on another screw trial, under the direction of Captain Crispin, and re turned in the evening. The Growler, 5, paddle steam-sloop, is ordered to be taken out of the steam-basin and docked, to have her bottom overhauled. WOOLWICH, MARCH 22. APPOINTMENTS. Chaplain—The Rev. John B. Bunce, B.A. (1845), re cently serving in the Phaeton, 50, to the Vengeance, 84, the latter vessel being under orders of readiness, for the Mediterranean station. Assistant-Surgeon—Robert W. Beaumont (1848), re cently serving in the Castor, 50, on the Cape of Good Hope station, to the Naiad, 42, store-ship, stationed at Callao. Clerk—Robert W. Warwick (1846), recently serving in the Phaeton, to be Clerk in Charge to the Tyne store ship, at Portsmouth, taking on board stores for the Island of Ascension and. Rio. Mr. Charles Kerr Renwick, chief engineer and one of the survivors of the 'Birkenhead steam-frigate, whose conduct at the time of the melancholy loss of that vessel, off the Cape of Good Hope, was noticed in terms of the highest approbation in the report of Staff-Surgeon Dr. Bowen, has been appointed chief engineer to the Phoenix screw steam-sloop, in dock at Woolwich, fitting for an expedition to the Arctic regions. Mr. R. Drummond is appointed first assistant-engineer to the Phoenix. The Melampus, 42, passed Woolwich to-day from Sheerness, on her way up the river to John Penn and Son's wharf, at Deptford, to receive on board the heavy parts of the machinery and boilers of St. Jean D'Acre, manufactured by that firm, and will convey them round to Devonport to'be put on board that ship, of 101 guns, to be launched on the 23d inst. at that port. The Me lampus was towed up from Sheerness by the Cyclops paddlewheel steam-frigate, and the latter will take the lighter parts of the machinery on board, and then tow the Melampus to Devonport. The Terrible steam-frigate, having been again fitted with her four boilers, for which she was originally con structed, and her engines of 800 horse-power repaired and put on board, bad her steam up during the greater part of to-day in the inner basin to try their working, and although held by the stern by strong cables, she ground massive pieces of timber into small fragments when placed betwixt her bows and the granite-wharf wall next the factory. The paddlewheels, about 38 feet in diameter, revolved quickly and worked well. The screw cast from eleven tons of brass for the Aga memnon, 91, was taken out of its casting-frame yester day afternoon, and is as perfect in every part as could have been wished. Workmen are now busily employed in removing the superfluous parts, and when it is finished in the engineer department it will be sent round to Ports mouth as a reserve screw from the Agamemnon, at pre sent at that port. The workmen are engaged in the foundry to-day in preparing for the casting of a brass tube 14 feet long and 21 inches in diameter inside to be placed in the stern of the Hannibal screw steam-ship, to receive the shaft of her screw-propeller. A similar tube was cast last week for the Algiers, 90, screw steam-ship, building at Devon port. Each f the brass tubes to receive the shafts of the screw-propellers of these ships weighs 1 ton 18 cwt. The one for the Algiers has been finished in the engi neer depirtment. The Isabel, Lady Franklin's screw steam-vessel, will steam down the river to Greenhithe on Thursday, and Commander Inglefield will proceed to that station to swing her compasses ; and it is expected she will be able to leave the river on Saturday, on her enterprising voy-, age; in charge of Mr. Kennedy, for Bhering s Straits. SHEERNESS, MARCH 21. At 9 a.m. this day a court-martial assembled on board the Waterloo to try George Wright, an able seaman (a native of Belgium), under an Admiralty warrant, dated the 15th day of March inst., for deserting from the Ho ratio. _ The president and the members of the court having been duly sworn, the Deputy-Judge-Advocate then had the .usual oath administered to him by the president of the court. The prisoner George Wright and all the witnesses being present, the charge was read by the Deputy- Judge-Advocate, charging the said prisoner with desert ing from on board her Majesty's ship. Horatio, on the lEit day of March instant, while serving qn board as an able seaman. Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, in command of her Majesty's ship Horatio, was the prosecutor, and after evidence had been adduced, _ The Deputy-Judge-Advocate read the sentence of the Court, which was to the following effect:—That the opinion of that Court was, the charge of desertion had been fully proved against the prisoner, , and that the urt, after maturely and deliberately weighing the evi dence and the defence set up by the prisoner, sentenced him to be imprisoned in the county gaol at Maidstone kir the term of six calendar months, and then to be dig missed m her Majesty's service. DEVONPORT. —The inhalaitants of Devonport are much I pined to hear that the Government have again deter- Mined to form a convict establishment here on a large scale. A. building is to be erected. Colonel Jebb is expected here, when, in cqnnection with the official au thorities' a site will be chosen, and the works comme nced Without delay. This will be a general calamity, as the labour of the honest man will be taken away, and with it the whole of his little earnings, which is now distri tinted amongst the various tradesmen—the draper, gro der, butcher, &c., besides the rent of his room, which will be severely felt by the householder—the poor rate at present in this parish is 2s. 6d. in the pound ; while with the convicts everything will be served in by con tract ; when few indeed will receive any benefit, and, as it sometimes happens, the contractor himself becomes a bankrupt. —Herald. THE ARMY. The first division of the 12th Regiment, consisting of 40 men of the light company, under the command of Capt. Kemp, left Newry on Monday for Belfast. The remainder of the regiment, including the head-quarters' division, will march on Wednesday (this day). The 12th will be relieved on the same day by the depot of the 68th Light Infantry, from Birr. The detachment of the 46th Regiment, under the com mand of Lieut. Chambers, quartered in Armagh, have received the route, and will march for head-quarters, Dublin, on the 24th inst. Two companies of the 27th (Inniskillings), with a field officer, Major Williams, from Enniskillen, will be quar tered in Armagh. The other detachments of the 27th will be thus quartered :- —Two companies, under the com mand of Capt. Touzel, to Cavan ; one company, under the command of Capt. Watson, to Sligo ; one company, under the command of Capt. Stapyleton, to Ballyshan- Tion, and one company, under the command of Captain Molesworth, to Downpatrick.

THE INDIAN CHARTER. A meeting of the bankers, merchants,, and manufac turers of Mancheiter was convened in ,the To wn-hallyes terday, upon a requisition td the Mayor, " to - consider what suggestions' that " community ought to make to the Government, or to Parliament, for the better deve lopthent of the resources of British India, and the con sequent amelioration in the condition of the people." Mr. Barnes. the Mayor', presided. There was a large attendance of the more:influential commercial men pre sent. • The MAYOR opened the. business. Mr. T. BAZLEY, President of the Man Chester Chamber of Commerce, In moving the first resolution, said, that to the mercantile and manufacturing community, of which Manchester was the centre, the wellbeing of the British East Indies must be a subject of very deep in terest; and in the enlightened British opinidn of that subject was involved the question whether, in the pages of history, we should _be branded as having oppressed. and degraded 150,000,000 of fellow-subjects, or as having earned undying fame - for giving to the gr ea t es t co l ony that ever exi s t e d goo d an d wise government, European civilisation, progress, arid commerce, and' the • great truths and principles of our,common Christianity. By a singular coincidence, about three centuries, ago the peo ple of thii country were entertaining inporta.nt projects connected with those industrial energies'which were then being developed, for they were, on the one hand, open ing the field 'of New America, and,,on the other, the far famed treasures of the East were tempting our young merchants. In the case of the United States of America we saw what wonderful progress had" been made ; a vast territory' had been subjugated; and industrious people reigned paramount, _ and we found there intelligence, comfort, and prosperity associ ated. America was at- the present time the in fant representative of this old and - glorious coun try, speaking our own language, and essentially, havin g adopted our own i ns tit u ti ons, it had become an example for the world. But if we turned to. the British East Indies we should find that a company of merchants were permitted to enjoy a monopoly of the trade of that great country ; under that monopoly Europeans were not per mitted to settle in the country, progress was impeded, and at the present time there was merely a handful of Europeans on that great continent' of India. The British name was not held there in that respect that it ought to be, and we had not raised there a monument of progress that was either useful to the East Indies or honourable to ourselves. On every hand the existing state of the East Indies was admitted to be unsatisfac tory, but by common consent universal attention seemed now to be bestowed upon that vast dominion. Lord Ellenborough, in speaking of the condition of India in the House of Lords, the other evening, stated that he passed in a march through the upper provinces of India the vestiges of ancient palaces, roads, works, temples, and mosques, and all the records of good government by which we had been preceded, and he felt humiliated that we were exhibiting ourselves under circumstances of disparagement as greatly inferior to a nobler nation to which we had succeeded. The directors of the Man chester Commercial Association and the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, without entering on the direct political condition of India, had agreed to recommend a petition, which embraced, in their opinion, the econo mical wants of the East Indies ; and he rose for the pur pose of moving—. " That the petition now read be adopted by this meet in ; that it be engrossed and presented forthwith to both Houses of Parliament ; that the petition to the House of Commons be intrusted to the Right Hon. T. M. Gibson for presentation, and that John Bright, Esq., be requested to support the same ; and that the Right non. the Earl of Ellenborough be requested to present the petition to the House of Peers." Mr. J. A. TURNER, chairman of the Commercial Asso ciation, seconded the motion. It was not his intention to dwell upon the past history of British India, or he might make out a black catalogue of errors, and, not among the least, point to the long and unnecessary wars carried on at a great expenditure of money, which might have been more beneficially given to develope the re sources of that great country. He might say much of the system of patronage carried out, and the distribution of the revenues derived from that country, leaving little to the country itself that had furnished the revenues ; but he did not know that it would be so profitable to look back to paste misgovernment as it would be to endeavour to enlist their sympathies with the two commercial cham- bers, whose oblecenow was to seek an improvement in the future. (Hear, hear.) The interests of this commu- nity, and those of the people of India, though they had long been widely different, could be, and ought to be, made quite identical. Lord J. Russell, on the 11th of March, in answer to a question from one of the members for Manchester, with respect to the government of India, said it was the intention of the Government to introduce in the course of the present session of Parliament such a measure as they thought would prove best for the wel fare and happiness of India ; and they hoped to form such a measure, and produce it in time to give ample opportunity for discussion. Now he (Mr. Turner) was willing to hope that the members of the present Govern ment of India had great information of what was proper for the future government of India ; but, inasmuch as committees of both Houses of Parliament had been for some time sitting, and as they had made as yet but little progress in acquiring information to legislate upon, it would body/ell if some little delay could be had before any measure was brought in by the Government —(hear, hear)—because, though he believed they had derived much knowledge from officials formerly employed in India, they possessed but little through the committees as to the wishes and necessities of commercial legislation. He contended that it was right that a full inquiry should - be made, and that, as we had com mitted errors in the past, we should endeavour to avoid similar errors for the future. He thought there might be an assembly more competent than that which represented the elite of the commercial community of Manchester to give an opinion on a question like this, as to what were the modes which should be adopted to carry on the rule over a community probably of more than 100,000,000 of people in Indi a , b u t h e did_ not think there was any body of men more capable of treating it as a commercial question, and speaking of the requirements of commerce from India, or what could be supplied in return; nor did he think any body of men were more competent to say how the trade of India might be developed. We go verned upWards of 100,000,000 of people there, and our exports only amounted to 10 per cent. of the wliole ex ports of this country. He believed if the whole of the resources of India Were developed we might nearly de rive as much cotton as would keep double the number of mills we now had running, while the production of a large portion of these mills might be sent back and dis . posed of, to the comfort and advantage both of the peo ple of India and of this country. How this could best be done they had endeavoured to point out in the peti tion ; and first they had directed attention to the re moval of all obstacles to the cultivation of the soil. Then it was said that the Government ought to expend a por tion of the money derived from the country in the im provement of roads.; and certainly they ought, for mil lions were received from the country, and were spent upon military works and in paying immense salaries to the servants of the company, and it was because of those large salaries that such immense patronage went on. He said these were very small requirements, that a few mil lions should be spent for the benefit of those from whose pockets these revenues were taken. The resolution was carried. Mr. H. ASHWORTH, of Bolton, moved the second reso- tution " That the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and. the Manchester Commercial Association be requested to trans mit copies of the petition to the various commercial and manufacturing bodies of the United Kingdom, requesting their co-operation, and inviting them to appoint deputies, to meet in London, to wait upon the President of the Board of Control for the purpose of conveying to him the sentiments expressed in this petition P and also to induce influential members of Parliament to give practical effect to these requirements and. suggestions ' as well as to carry °tit in detail the objects of the present meeting." The meeting was aware that our exports to America amounted to 14,800,0004 -a yea - r, while our exports to :ndia amounted to 8;000,000 - 1, J' Year. Now, these two, - . items were the largest items of our exports to any coun try ; but when we came to consider the quality of these exports there was something in relation to this part of the country to which he wished to. call attention. To America we exported largely of almost every kind of manufacture ;to India little besides cotton goods. Of the 14,800,0001. of exports 'sent to America, but 4,000,000/. were cotton goods ; but of the 8,000,000/. to India, fi,000,0001., or thereabouts,_were cotton goods. Therefore our market with India had more to do with. this community than - any foreign market ; but our ex ports to India consisted not of the finished articles re quired for other. markets. There were 2,870,000,000 yards of calico of the peorest kinds made, and from the poorness of the people of India's wants we might form an opinion of the poverty of the people, for the total of our exports amounted but to two yards of calico per an num to each inhabitant. The peopl eof liAnmeni3eri,cahardre: re quired not ,only calico, but woollens,silks, ware, and hundreds of other articles, ammounetienxgptoortls2s per head; while our exports to the West Indies amounted to to 14s. per head 'on the populatio n . India, on the contrary, were equal to about 10d. wouldillgthis impressciuesti question e hl, Go th v e e r r e nni fore e , nt a . n in A t t er p es re k s i e n nt pr h e e ss uponupon the the consideration of gentlemen who were building new mills, where was the market to come from for their pro duce if not to be found in India ?

Mr. MAICOLM Ross seconded the resolution. Mr. Jusr _thought the question was whether they should go for - a renewal of the charter at all. ear hear.)

(Ap plause.) , , Mr. 13st0irr, M.P., came forward amid cheerin g , and said—We are h ere as citizens of this great country; but . gre manufacture we are here, too, as p car ried on in this district ; and I _ persons i n timately connect ed with the we might very well afford, if the meeting bad been . at,manpf thi ß . held - Weer itc the day, to have spent a' much longer time in considering this very important question ; for I / / ~~~ ~~ 7 , • J ,ef r' < - see, and--I think. you must all see v‘h r me, that there ,is no question before us, politr," commercial, or soci a l, so important to the welfare o this country as the ques tion we are met to discuss this morning. The position in which things stand at present is, that the act under which the directors administer the government of India will expire on the 30th of April next.,At - the - belitining of the last. session of Parliament Lord g. Russell'spo vernment proposed the appointment of a committee-to inquire, I suppose, into the operation of that govern ment in India. The Government of the Earl of Derby appointed the committee which was sitting last session, and is sitting this. In fact there are two committees, one in each house. Now, either it was not necessary to appoint a committee at all, or else it was necessary that the committee should conclude its investigation be fore' legislation is attempted. However, that is ap parently not the plan proposed by the Government; but It is proposed to bring in a bill some time during the session. It does not appear that it will be very early in the session, but probably in- the hot weather, when ouse membersof ajonaenmotonss ; o assiduous in their attendance on the and, judging from the way in which these things are often managed, a bill may be attempted to be got through Parliament without any considerable discussions, to renew, with some trifling Modifications, the existing Government of India for 10, or it may be 20 years to come. Now, the petition , that has been agreed to, and the speeches that have been made, have avoided almost all reference to the question of the future government of India ; they have merely insisted on this, that whatever government is established, certain things are necessary to be done that the affairs of India may be well administered- -speaking of the economical condition of that country—and that the people of this country May have their fair benefit from our connexion with the Indian Empire. But lam not - bound by rules so strict as these regulations, or rather by such as bind ,those members of the commercial bodies by whom they are proposed. lam free to assert here, as I have done else where, that while all this is true which is in the petition, while all of it is necessary, without it there can be no good done in India—or rather, as regards India—yet, unless there be a motive - power which honestly intends to do these things, and has the power of doing them, that these resolutions and petitions are merely so much Waste paper ; and that the result of the next 10 or 26 years may show no more progress than we have seen for the last 10 or 20 years. (Hear.) We have had bad government in Ireland—and it has often been said, with some truth, I think, that India is 20 Irelands put together; but in Ireland you have roads, and you have a great deal done that is never done or thought of in India. In fact, the smallest, the commonest, the most indispensable things that every Government, however tyrannical, has elsewhere thought it neces sary to do for the country over which it rules, appear tetia...,4;::"&g...-z.03... have been studiously and pertinaciously neglected by the Government of India. (Hear.) I believe the whole thing springs from the imperfection , of the governine machine. I don't charge the East India Company foi. a moment with being intentionally a cruel, or oppressive or tyrannical Government. I know a good many of the directors, and I have not the least reason to believe, speaking of them generally, that they would give their consent, knowingly, to what was cruel or tyrannical in India ; but then they are a machine so constituted that it cannot work. We have often seen many beautiful machines brought forward, in mechanics, which have been admirably fini s h e d i n every respect, but somehow or other there was a fault, or they were on a wrong principle, and no power could be got out of them. It is just the same with that machine, and, if you come to look over that machine from beginning to end, you will see that it is one of the most complex and .clumsy that the ingenuity of- man ever devised ; and I don't believe it possible that any man could now sit down and form a system of government so totally unfit for the work for which it was originally designed. It has been stated, I believe, before the committee now sitting that the dirt of the kennel through which men have to crawl to get to the dirty dignity of an East India director is such, that many respectable, and some of the most eminent . and able men, shrink from it, and won't be contaminated with it at all. The result is, that one-third of your East India directors have never -been in India ; merchants, bankers, and various people in London, who find it very convenient to have h position like that, and find the pa tronage of great use to them in one way or other, are elected, 24 of them. Six go out and 6 come in each year. Thirtyof them make the roll of the corporation. Well, their whole business, or nearly so, is the distribution of patronage. They get 4001. a year each as salary, but they each have patronage, the value of which, according to the'account of a man most competent to giie an opinion, would, if it could be sold, be worth 8,000/. or 10,0001. a-year. To this Government is committed the whole collection of the revenue in India, every matter which affects the affairs which we have been discussing this morning. The great political questions of India ar e disposed of by the Board of Control, which is anothe r body, the President of which is always a Cabinet Minis ter. The President of the Board of Control is generally a person who has never been in India, is often a person • whO has never paid any attention to India subjects more than any person in this room. Then, these two Governments, somehow or other, are expected to carry on a system of administration aixantageously fo r 100,000,000 of people some thousands of miles away. I t is one continued jangle and wrangle between these two boards, from January to December. Why, if you ask a question in the House of Commons of the President of the Board of Control, he mumbles something across the table which refers you to Leadenhall-street, and suggesth thatyou should make application to the Court of Direc tors. If you move for a return of any kind of statistics from India, you get it in about two years—(laughter)-- when the thing for which you wanted to use it has en tirely gone by ; and then it comes in such a shape tha I defy any man to make the slightest use of it. (Hear.) I do state, with perfect sincerity, that I believe the whole of that is done in order to confuse the public, to mystify the house, and to make it impossible that you should get at anything connected with the Indian Government. And the difficulties that have arisen are so extraordinary that no man in the House of Commons who has the slightest regard for his own ease, or almost for his own reputation, will attempt to touch anything connected with the Indian Government. He is as certain to be baffled as ever he touches it ; and all the force which this great corporation can bring against him ; the love of ease, which I have found the prevailing quality with Presidents of the Board of Control ; the indisposition of the Govern ment to be bothered about India ; and the House of Com mons' hate of the subject, is all brought to bear on the man who meddles with Indian subjects, and everyman who does so. is drawn back by the very hopelessness of the task which he undertakes. (Applause.) Now, my idea of what Government should do is this :—Unless they are prepared, during this session, to bring in a bill involving a ,total change in the government of India, and placing • that government directly under the Crown, and making it directly responsible to Parliament, -I humbly submit that it is their duty to pass a continuance bill for two years, or three at the outside—say two years, from- the 30th of April next year, which would bring it to the 30th of April, 1856—and then during that time to allow pub- ' lie opinion to grow as it is now rapidly growing through - the country, to allow the question to be fairly sifted by the press, thoroughly investigated by committees or commissions, and at the end of that period to establish not a government for 10 years or 20 years, with an act of Parliament terminating at a given period, but a per manent government that shall be rightly constructed, as a principal machine at home ; and then you may rely upon it that a Government like that, acting through wisely appointed. agents in India, will very speedily, or as speedily as possible, carry out the various admirable recommendations contained in this petition. You may have observed that I brought this subject before the House of Commons the other evening, in putting a question to Lord J. Russell. The result of that discus sion has been, that the question has been much discussed privately among members of the House of Commons ; and I believe firmly that a large majority of the house are altogether differing from the opinion Lord J. Rus s,ll expressed on that question. And another result has been the formation of a committee or society in London to, promote Indian reform, to which I believe more than 30 members of the House of Commons bad given in their adhesioti before I left town on Saturday last, and I have no doubt the number 'will greatly increase. I be lieve it is quite impossible for any majority of the House or Commons this session to pass any measure that pro peses permanently—l - mean longer than two or' three years—to continue the present government of (The honourable gentleman resumed his seat amid loud applause.) Thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting broke up. • , STRIKE AMONGST LABOURERS-..READING, MONDAY.-- of The scarcity of labour in Vario us b ranches of industry in wages at present paid is t tl i i s i f s aeti dis e t n ric as t itse amount w th e e ekly becoming g rea t er, and the ilissa on the increase.
