The Sun. — London, England, 1853-06-25 00:00:00

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 185 a governed in India. (Hear, hear.) That is a fundamental ' law which we did not make, which we cannot alter, and to which we should do our best to conform our legislation. (Hear.) While such an extent of ocean and of continent lies between Calcutta and London, India must be governed there, and not hero. Ay, in spite of all the improvements which science has made, a dispatch from India is not road in London until six weeks after it was sent from Calcutta. Suppose it is answered on the very day when it reaches here, six weeks more must elapse before the answer arrives at Calcutta. But no such dispatch is answered oil' the same day as that of its arrival—very rarely indeed in the same month. The double government, whatever be its merits or demerits, is unquestionably not an expeditious government. When a dispatch is received, it must be con sidered, and both branches of the governing body at home must have opportunities of offering suggestions as to the answer to be sent out ; and when you reflect on all this— when_e you take into consideration the delay which is the effect of your machinery and the effect of distance—you will see that when a dispatch reaches Calcutta it is a dispatch not calculated to meet the state of things existing on its arrival, but such as extended six months before. No empire can be governed by a dispatch shaped to meet a condition of circumstances which existed six months be fore. (Hear.) All our own experience proves that this is impossible. We all remember when, upon a July, a Royal speech congratulated Parliament on the increasing pros. perity of the country ; and yet within 24 hours of our parting before Christmas we had a famine. We all, too, recollect when, in autumn all Europe seemed in a state of profound peace ; and yet, in the next year, from the Vis tula to the Bay of Biscay there was nothing but war and insurrection. (Hear.) Of what use in such a conjuncture would be the ablest and clearest instructions on foreign policy drawn out six months previously? (Hear.) It is therefore impossible that India can be really governed, ex cept in India. The instructions sent out there are gene rally exposition of principles, the business of the home authorities being rather to suggest what is best than to give positive directions as to the future ; and when the instructions are most positive there is almost always a pro viso that, after all, the local authorities must, on a view of the circumstances existing wnen the instructions arrive, exercise their own discretion as to what is to be done. The whole history of the Indian Government is full of instances to this effect ; but from my own experience I think I can illustrate this proposition in the clearest manner, for when I had a part in the government of India I can venture to say that every day important measures were taken by the Government—indeed, every measure of which history will hereafter make mention, was taken without any authority whatever from the home Government. (Hear.) I believe that almost every one of those measures or acts was re garded with disapprobation at home; yet not one of them was rescinded or annulled, but every one of them was suf fered to stand, the language of the home authorities gene rally being such as this—" You have done wrong, but what you have done is done." That was most eminently the case with respect to that great reform made in 1835 by. Lord W. Bentinck before his departure from India on the subject of native education. Such was the case with re spect to the abolition of the transit duties. On that occa sion a severe reprimand came out with respect to the distinguished functionary who bore the chief part in that transaction. Nevertheless, the transit duties were abolished, and that great boon was conferred on the people of India. The same was the case with respect to the act which established the liberty of unlicensed printing. (Hear.) A severe reprimand came out to India on account of the rashness imputed to the legis lative authorities there, but, nevertheless, they were not directed to annul the act. The same, too, was the case with respect to the act in regard to the uniformity of coin age. Here, again, a reprimand came out, but still the act was allowed to remain. These four instances, all taken from a period of less than a year and a quarter, are suffi cient to give a general idea that the organisation of the government of India is really of more importance to the happiness of the people of that country than the organisa tion of the home Government. (Hear.) Without meaning to speak with the least disrespect of the functions exer cised by the home Government, I am not sure whether the most important of all their functions is not the choice of the Governor-General, and I should be inclined to say that even upon the character of the Governor-General much less depends than on the general character and spirit of those servants by whom the administration of India is carried out. (Hear, hear.) A test, then, by which I am inclined to judge of the present bill is the probable effect it would have on the character of the civil service in India. (Hear, hear.) Is it likely to raise or to lower the character of that distinguished body which furnishes India with its judges and collectors ?—for, without mean ing tho slightest disrespect to the Court of Directors, I must say that three or four or six incompetent directors would cause far less evil to the people of India than a single incompetent collector in a district where a settle ment is to be made between the Government and the vil lagers. Though many hon. gentlemen fancy they knoW what the functions of a collector of revenue are, yet there exists, and I am surprised at it, a strange ignorance as to the power and importance of functionaries of that class in India. Some gentlemen seem to imagine, putting the In dian collector at the very highest, he is something like a commisaioner of taxes or stamps in this country, while the truth is that the collector of revenue in many parts of India is the sole consul of a great province, the district assigned to him being about the size of one of the four provinces of Ireland, of Leinster or of Munster, and the population therein about 1,000,000 of human beings. In all that district there is not a single village—there is not a singly it—in which the difference between a good and a bad collector may not make a difference between happiness and misery. (Hear.) The difference between a good and bad collector to the people in such a dis trict is infinitely greater than the difference between the very best and the very worst government that we have ever seen, or are likely ever to see in England, can be to the people here. (Hear.) I have been assured by those who have had the best opportunities of judging, that you might read the character of the collector in the eyes and in the garb of the population—in the appearance of the fields and of the houses. When there was an incapable collector the peasantry there were broken-hearted. In the first place, the ornaments of the women, on which the peasantry of India place so much value, are sold—then the pressure overcame their fondness for the village to which they be longed, and emigration by hundreds and thousand,' took place. The villages became desolate, the jungle encroached on the country before cultivated, and wild boasts made Glens where human habitations stood before. But let a good collector replace the bad one, and the whole scene is altered. Cultivation reappears, the jungle recedes, the tigers and beasts of prey return ,to their former haunts, and tho fugitive population come back to their villages. Such a power as that which collectors in India have over the people is in no part of the world possessed by any class of functionaries—(hear)—and I can conceive that if we made the best arrangement with respect to the Home Go vernment we should be rendering far smaller service to those millions whose interest, in the first place, we have to consider, than if we raised the capacity for the civil ser vice. (Hear, hear.) Some gentlemen for whose ability I have great respect—though I cannot agree with them— think the best mode of,improving the government of India is by giving the public appointments to the Governor- General, and letting him choose his instrument for the adini nistration. There will be no want of ability, they say, if , 1 you only give him the freedom to choose those who serve under him. There is something plausible in the proposi tion that you should allow him to choose able men where ever ho finds them. But my firm opinion is, that the day on which the civil service of India ceases to be a close ser vice will be the beginning of an ago of jobbing the most monstrous, the most extensive, and the most perilo us th a t ever existed. (Hear.) Every Governor-General would, in such case, carry out with him, or would soon be followed by, a crowd of relatives, nephews, first and second cousins, friends, and political hangers-on, while every steamer ar riving from tho Red Son would carry to India adventurers bearing with them letters from some powerful man in Eng land, all praying for employment. Then upon these persons so recommended the Governor-General would have it in his power to distribute residences, seats in the Council Board, and places of from 4,0001. to 6,0001. a-year, upon men with out the least acquaintance with the charactor or habits of the natives, and with only sufficient knowledge of the lan guage to be able to call for a bottle of pale ale, or to desire their attendants to pull the punkah harder. (Laughter.) These men would be sent to exercise authority in different districts. Ono might bo sent to a great station as a ruler; and Mysore, not inferior to Scotland in extent and popu lation, might be made subject to his absolute power. (Hear, hear.) In what way could you put a check on such proceedings ? Would you—the House of Commons—con trol them? Have you been so completely successful in extirpating nepotism and jobbing at your door, and in excluding all abuses from Whitehall and Somerset-house, that you should fancy that you could establish purity in countries the situation of which you do not know, and tho names of which you cannot pronounce. (Cheers and laughter.) I believe most firmly that instead of purity resulting from that arrangement to India, India would soon be tainted by it ; and that, before long, when a son or brother of some active member of this house went out to Calcutta, carrying with him a strong letter of recom mendation from the Prime Minister to the Governor-Ge neral, that letter would be really a bill of exchange drawn on the revenues of India for value received from Parlia mentary support. (Hear, hear.) That would be no new traffic, but only an old traffic revived. We aro not with out a guide and experience on this point. We have only to look back to those lamentable and shameful years which followed the first establishment of our power in Bengal. Then, as may be well-known if you only look to any poet, satirist, or essayist of those times, you may see in what manner the system of appointments operated. Looking over, only yesterday, for another object, a file of news papers of 1771, I was struck by a paragraph stating that Mr. So-and-So, who went out with the Governor-General only three years ago, had just landed with 40,0001. (Hear, hear.) These were the sort of men, who took no office, but simply got the Governor-General to pay a species of ransom, laying upon him a sort of tax—what the Mah rattas call choret and the Scotch blackmail—that is, the sum paid to a thief, in consideration that ho wont away without doing harm. (Laughter.) There was a tradition in Calcutta, where the story was very circumstantially told and generally believed, that a man came out with a strong letter of recommendation from one of the Ministers to Lord Clive ' • and when Lord Clive saw that he was not only unfit for, but would positively do harm in any office, his lordship said, in a way peculiar to him, " Well, chap, how much do you want ?" Not being accustomed to be spoken to so plainly, the man replied that ho only hoped for some situation in which his services might bo useful. " That is no answer, chap," said Lord Clive, " How much do you want ? Will 10,0001. do ?" The person replied, that he should be delighted if by laborious ser vice ho could obtain that competence. Lord Clive then wrote out an order for the sum, and told the applicant to leave India b y again t o remain ship he came in, and, once in England (Hear, and lau g ht er .) I thi n k th e story is very yn-obabelee, and I also think that the people of India ought to behe grateful for the course Lord Clive pur sued ; for though pillaged the people of Bengal to give this man a large sumPi the man himself, if he had re ceived an appointmenty,ewo.rd not only have pillaged, but misgoverned the people. Against abuses of this kind the only security is that the z civilh s e e rvice be kept close, and the consequence of keepin clo , se he is, m th u a: t t though e the Governor-General has a wireich a certain set of inatgrruemeoieicemntis which he finds from among i t.ble that any prepared. It is in the highest de India, should one, upon going out as Governo t V e e ei n v e i r l aervi o a v n e d r h t e h r e . find any relatives or friends in consequence is, that the most unsc rapulous ce er ; Go al) ig i sA General would dispose of his patronage under the present system m ore properly than an upright Glo6,_verar7l-0 under a system by which he should b e at I' any one. Even an unscrupu lous Governor- General wh en . he finds he cannot obl i g e relat i ons and friends, comes 4 o the conclusion that the best t h ing to do is, t o appoint men who would do the most t credit to his choice and maim tho most public service go on easilyand successfully. (Hear, hear.) That valuable man (Lord W. Bntinck) in the month he left India, said, in my hearing, ` ` I have now b seven years, and during that tim e I have had to dispose of immense lucrative patronage, and I have never but once in all that time been able to do a single service to a . single English friend." There was the office of a police mag istrate vacant at Calcutta DA strictly bol9l3giDg to 010 civil Nov , Lfsot a f n h e i e s gle en in d who had fallen into distress. That was vice, and Lord W. Bentinck gave it tothtehis where Lord W. Bentinck had an opportunity of appointing a friend, by going out of the service. What a security such a system is for the proper disp osal of the patronage !—infi nitely a better security than even the virtues of such a man ; for if any man is to be trusted with the uncontrolled disposal of the Indian patronage Lord W. Bentinck cer tainly was. (Hear, hear.) Then it appears w,-; are agreed that it is of the highest importance that the cavil service in India should be most capable and efficient. We are agreed, also, that it must be a close service. In this case, it certainly necessarily follows that we ought to watch with the utmost care over the road to admission to that service —that we ought, if possible, to take such measures that this service may consist entirely of fit and superior men. Now, it is because, in my opinion, this bill does tend to produce that effect that I feel earnestly desirous that it should pass, and pass without delay. (Hear, hear.) My right hon. friend (Sir C. Wood) proposes that all places in the civil service—all admissions to the civil service, shall be distributed among young men by competition in those studies (as I understand the plan) which constitute a liberal British education. That plan was originally sug gested by Lord Grenville in a speech which, though I do not concur in any part of it, I would earnestly recommend every gentleman to read, for I believe that since the death of Burke nothing more remarkable has been delivered. Nothing, however, on this point was then done, and the matter slept till 18.3.3, when my friend Lord Glenelg, the purest and most disinterested of men, proposed the adop tion of a plan not altogether framed according to his views, but still a plan which would have introduced this principle o f competition. Upon that plan 20 years ago I remember speaking here. I ought not to say hole, for the then House of Commons was burnt down, and of the audience I then addressed th e grea t er p ar t has passed away. But my opinion on that subject has always been the same. (Hear, hear.) The bill was passed, but difficulties arose with respect to the enactments I have just referred to, and they were repealed, and the patronage continued to run in the old course. It is now proposed to introduce this prin ciple of competition again, and I do most earnestly entreat this house to give it a fair trial. (Hear.) I was truly glad to hear the noble lord who proposed the present amend ment express approval of the general principle of that part of the bill. I was glad, but not surprised at it, for it is what I should expect from a young man of his spirit and ability and recent experience of academical competition. (Hear, hear.) But I must say Ido join with the hon. member for Kidderminster in feeling some surprise at the manner in which that part of the plan has been spoken of by a nobleman of great eminence, once presi dent of the Board of Control . and Governor-General of India and of very distinguished ability as a statesman. If I understand the opinions imputed to that noble lord, he thinks the proficiency of a young man in those pursuits which constitute a liberal education is not only no indica tion that he is likely in after life to make a distinguished figure, but that it positively raises a presumption that in after life he will be overcome in those contests which then take place. I understand that the noble lord is of opinion that young men gaining distinction in such pursuits are likely to turn out dullards and utterly unfit for the con tests of active life, and I am not sure that the noble lord did not say that it would be better to make boxing or cricket a test of fitness than a liberal education. I must say it seems to me that there never was a fact better proved by an immense mass of evidence, by an experience almost unvaried, than this—that men who distinguish them selves in their youth above their cotemporaries in academic competition almost always keep to the end of their lives the start theyhave gained in the earlier part of their career. This experience is so vast that I should as soon expect to hear any one question it as to hear it denied that arsenic is poison, or that brandy is intoxicating. Take the very simplest test. Take down in any library the Cambridge Calendar. There you have the list of honours for a hun dred years. Look at the list of wranglers and of junior optimes, and I will venture to say that for one man who has in after life distinguished himself among the junior optimes you will find 20 among the wranglers. Take the Oxford Calendar; look at the list of first-class men, and compare them with an equal number of men in the third class, and say in which list you find the majority of men who have distinguished themselves in after life. But is not our history full of instances which prove this fact? (Hear, hear.) Look at the ch urc h, th e Parliament, or the bar. Look to the Parliament from the time when Parlia mentary government began in this country—from the days of Montagu and St. John to those of Canning and Peel. You need not stop there, but come down to the time of Lord Derby and my right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Hear, hear.) Has it not always been the case that the men who were first in the competition of the schools have been the first in the competition of life? (Hear, hear.) Look also to India. Tho ablest man who ever governed India was Warren Hastings, and was he not in the first rank at Westminster? (Cheers.) The ablest civil servant I ever knew in India was Sir Charles Met calfe, and was he not a man of the first standing at Eton ? The most distinguished member of the aristocracy who ever governed India was Lord Wellesley. What was his Eton reputation ? What was his Oxford reputation ? (Hear, hear.) But I must mention—l cannot refrain from mentioning—another noble and distinguished Governor- General. A few days ago, while the memory of the speech to which I have alluded was still fresh in my mind, I read in the Musce Cantabrigienses a very elegant and classical ode, which the University of Cambridge rewarded with a gold medal. The subject was the departure of the house of Braganza from Portugal for Brazil. The young poet, who was then only 17, described in very Horatian Language and versification the departure of the fleet, and pictured the great Portuguese navigator, Vas co d o alma, and the groat Portuguese poet Camoens hovering over the armament which was to convey the fortunes of the Portu guese monarchy to a now hemisphere ; and with pleasure, not altogether unmingled with pain, I read at th o bottom of that composition the name of the Hon. Edward Law, of St. John's College. I must say I saw with some consider able pleasure that the name of Lord Ellenborough may be added to the long list of those distinguished men who, in early youth, have, by eminent academical MCC: E3B, given an augury of the di - eting,uished part which they were after wards to play ; and I could not but feel some concern and surprise that a nobleman so honourably distinguished in his youth by attention to those studi es should, in his maturer years , have descended to use l a ng uage res p ec ti ng them which I think would have better become the lips of Ensign Northerton, or the captain in Swift's poem, who says— " Your Noveds and Bluturchs, and Omurs and stuff, By George, they dont't signify this pinch of snuff; To give a young gentleman right education, • The army's the only good school in the nation." (Laughter;) The noble lord seemed, from his spoech, to entertain that opinion. (A laugh.) "My schoolmaster called me a dunce and a fool, .But at culfe I was always the cock of the school." (Loud laughter.) But if a recollection of his own early academi. - al triumphs did not restrain the noble earl from using this language, I should have thought that his filial piety would have had that effect. I should have thought that he would have remembered how eminently splendid was the academical career of that great and strong-minded magistrate, the late Lord Ellenborough ; and, as I have mentioned him, I will say that if there be in this world a trying test of the fitness of men for the competition of active life, and of the strength and acuteness of their prac tical faculties, it is to be found in the contests of the Eng lish bar. Look at Lord Mansfield, Lord Eldon, Lord Stowell, Sir Vicary Gibbs, Lord Tenterden, and Lord Lyndhurst. Take either the common law or the equity bar. The present Lord Chief Baron was senior wrangler ; Mr. Baron Alderson was senior wrangler • Mr. Justice Maule was senior wrangler ; M r . B aron Parke was emi nently distinguished at the university for his mathema tical and classical attainments ; Mr. Baron Platt was a wrangler ; and Mr. Justice Coleridge was one of the most einineet men of his time at Oxford. Then take the equity bar. The Lord Chancellor was a wrangler ; Lord Justice Sir George Turner was high in the list of wranglers ; all the three Vice-Chancellors were wranglers ; Sir Lancelot Shadwell was a wrangler, and a very distinguished scholar ; my friend, Sir James Parker, was a high wrangler, and a distinguished m e th ema ti c i an . C an we suppose that it was by mere accident they obtained their high positions? Is it possible not to believe th a t th ese men maintained through life the start which they gained in youth? And is it an answer to these instances to say that you can point—as it is desirable you should be able to point—to two or three mon of great powers who, having neglected the struggle when they were young, have afterwards exerted them selves to retrieve lost time, and have sometimes overtaken and surpassed those who had got far in advancs of them ? Of course there are such exceptions ; most desirable it is that there should be, and that they should be noted, in order to encourage men who, after having thrown away their youth from levity or love of pleasure may be in clined to throw their manhood after it in. despair ; but the general rule is, beyond all doubt, that which I h ave l a id down. It is this— that those men who distinguish them selves most in academical competition when they are young are the men who, in after life, distinguish themselves most in the competition of the world. Now, if this be so, I cannot conceive that we should be justified in re f us i ng to India the advantage of such a test. I know there are gentlemen who say—for it has been said—" After all, this test extends only to a man's intellectual qualifications, and his character is quite as important as his intellectual qualifications." I most readily admit that his character is as important as his intellectual qualifications ; but unfortunately you have not quite so certain a test of a man's character as of his intellectual qualifications. Surely, if there are two qualifications you want a man to possess, and which it is very important he should possess —and if you have a test by which you can ascertain the presence of the one qualification, but no decisive test by which you can ascertain the presence of the other—your best course is to use tho test you have, and to leave as little as you possibly can to chance. This argument would seem unanswerable unless some person should say that the circumstances of a man's superiority in academical competition raised a presumption that he was inferior in practical judgment and manly rectitude; but if that can be shown, then the consequence would go a great deal. further than the rejection of my right hon. friend's pro posal. It would go to this, that we must reconsider the whole system of English education, and remove our boys from those places where they are trained to studies which have a deleterious effect upon the character. (Hear.) There is another point on which I am desirous to say a few words. Some very able and judicious men, who are strongly of opinion—as strongly as I am myself—that it is important that there should be high intellectual tests for admission to the Indian service, are jet of opinion that this would be best managed, not by means of competition, but by having examinations of a high standard, and re jecting every candidate who does not come up to that standard. Now, all my experience and observation lead me to believe that this is a complete mistake. (Hear, hear.) The effect of competition is to keep up the standard. Every man struggles to do his best, and the consequence is that, without any effort on the part of the examiner, under a system of competition the standard keeps itself up. But the moment you sayto the examiner, not " Shall A or B go to India ?" but " Here is A ; is he fit to go India ?" the question becomes altogether a diffe rent one. The examiner's compassion, his good nature, his unwillingness to blast the prospects of a young man, load him to strain a point in order to let the candidate in if he possibly can. That would bo the case even if we suppose the dispensers of patronage to be left merely to the operation of their own minds, but you would have them subjected to solicitations of a sort which it would be im possible to resist. I speak of what I know, and of what I have seen. I have known cases where public servants have been under the painful necessity of pronouncing young men, on examination, to be unfit for the public service. What is the consequence? Tho candidate declares that lie exert hi mse lf t o th e utmost, and that, if ho be 1 ? tried, no endeavo ur s h a ll b e wan ti ng on hi s part to discharge his duties satisfactorily. The father comes with tears in his ey es ; th e mother writes the most pathetic and he ar tb reaking letters. I have repeatedly seen very firm, minds shaken by appeals of that sort. Now, the system of competition necessarily keeps allowsstad nothing of_ the kind, but it tern constantly tend s to brin g it while the other sys tem and lower. I hope most earnestly it will not b4upposed that in anything I love paid I intoucl LA the =Oast degree to redact OA the present civil service of India. Some of the dearest and most valued friends I have in the world belong to that service, and for the general spirit and character of that service I feel the greatest respect and affection. I think it wonderful that a body of men not picked or chosen, but taken meraly at random— appointed because one is the son of a director, because another is the nephew, of a director, because another is related to some person who has been, perhaps, of great service to a President of the Board of Control at a contested election—(a laugh)—l think it won derful that men selected purely and avowedly on grounds of a personal nature should have conducted themselves as they have done, and have discharged duties of csreat diffi culty with so much success. It is, I think, a thing glorious to our country that 800 men taken in that way—at random —from among the gentlemen of England, should have con ducted themselves in general with such distinmuished abi lity and probity. That, however, is no reason for not mak ing the service better, if we can do so, and it is impossible to deny that we have proofs that the service is not entirely free from defects. How, indeed, could it be otherwise ? You must necessarily have a certain number of inferior men in a service formed in such a manner—in a ser vice consisting of 800 men, not selected on the ground of ability. Among any BCO gentlemen whom you might select at random there would be a certain number of men of every superior powers ; the great majority might be not very much above, nor very much below, the average of ability ; but there must necessarily be, in every body of 800 mon, not selected by some test of ability, a considerable number —say a tenth, or, if you please, a twentieth—who fall de cidedly below the average of ability. Now, you can do very well with this. You don't want all the clerks in the War-office, or the Treasury, to be superior men. There is plenty of routine business to be done in those offices which a man of no great ability can transact. The men of small ability do that routine business ; the men of groat ability rise in position. But the case is different in the Indian service. You have there BC3 men charged with the hap piness of 120,000,030 of people. There is not a single one of those men upon whose capacity the happiness of a very large number of human beings may not, in any situation, depend. It is utterly impossible that one-tenth part or one-twentieth past of that service can consist of incapable men without causing great suffering to thousands of indi viduals ; and hero, I believe, we find the real explanation of that which has appeared to me, from all I have been able to learn, the most defective point of our system in In dia. I quite agree with the noble lord who moved the amendment as to the evils of the judicial system in India. (Hear, hear.) All the evidence leads me to that conclusion; but permit me to say that this is no novelty. Those evils was distinctly predicted before the bill of 1833 passed. I heard them predicted myself. It was said by a very able man :—" Your opening the China trade will, in one sense, inflict great evils upon the people of India, unless you alter the mode in which the patronage is dispensed. While patronage is exercised as it is exercised, there will always be a certain number of incapable men in the service. At present they are sent into the trade ; your able men are left for judicial, revenue, and political positions. If you abolish the trade you will still have the same proportion of incapacity in the service, but there will no longer be com mercial affairs to which you can appoint these men of small ability, and you will send them to the judicial department." The prophecy has been strictly realised, for the to judicial department they have gone. (Hear, hear.) The evidence before us leaves no doubt that though there are very °mi• nently able and useful men—as able and useful as any which the service comprises—in the judicial department, yet that in general it is to that department that men deficient in ability and energy are sent ; and I do not blame those who have taken this course; for, shocking as it sounds in the ear of an Englishman to say that the collection of taxes is more important than the administration of justice, yet practically I do believe that the happiness of the people of a district in India depends more upon the ability of the revenue collec tor than oven upon the ability of the judge. (Hear.) Now, what is the remedy for this ? Not, 1 think—as some would propose—to strengthen the judicial department at the expense of the revenue department,—not, in my opinion, to pour out upon India—as has been suggested— some scores of barristers from the back rows of the Court of Queen's Bench, and to give them office as Indian judges. The true remedy is to raise the general character of the servics—(cheers)—and to take such measures that it may be the highest degree improbable that any men who are really incapable—any men who are below par—will find their way into that service at all. (Hear, hear.) I believe that the plan proposed by her Majesty's Government will accomplish this end, and it is on that ground chiefly that I give it my most sincere and cordial support. One word more. It seems to me that this plan provides the best means that can be imagined for effecting an object upon which much has been said, and which I admit to be desir able—the gradual admission of natives to a share in the higher offices of the Government. (Hear.) Legally, they are now admissible ; practically, none have been admitted. I do not blame those who do not admit them, for it is my belief that there is not in India a young native whom it would be a kindness to the native population to place, at the present moment, in your civil service. I can conceive nothing more unfortunate for the people of India than that you should put into the civil service a native, because he is a native, if he is to be the last man in that service,—a man decidedly inferior in attainments to all the other members of that service, and who would be looked doyvn upon by his European colleagues. Above all, I cannot conceive anything more pernicious than the suggestion which has been made, that before you admit any native to the service at all—before any-native has been even an assis tant collector or a judge, you should take some native and appoint him a member of council. That, of all propositions, would seem to me least likely to promote the real benefit of the people of India. Under the proposed system, it would depend on the natives themselves, and upon them alone, at what time they should enter into the civil service. As soon as any young native of distinguished parts should, by the cultivation of English literature, have enabled him salf to be victorious in competition over European candi dates, be would, in the most honourable manner, by con quest, as a matter of right, and not as a mereeleemosyna.ry itonation, obtain access to the service. (Hear, hear.) it would then be utterly impossible for his Europeon fellows to look down upon him ; he would enter the service in the best and most honourable way ; and I believe that in this mode, and in this mode alone, can the object which so many friends of the native population have in view be at tained in a manner at all satisfactory. I differ, lam well aware, as to the effect of the admission of natives to mash situations, from a noble lord (the Earl of Ellenborough), whom I mentioned a short time ago. That noble lord is of opinion, not only that we ought to exclude natives from office, but that even by encouraging them to study the arts and learning of Europe we are preparing the way for the utter destruction of our power in India. I must leave it to the noble lord to explain what seems to mo a rather singular inconsistency in his opinion. lam at a loss to understand how, while utterly contemning education when it is given to Europeans, he should regard it with dread when it is given to natives. This training, we are told, when given to a European, makes him a bookworm, a twaddler, unfit for active life; but give the same education to the liindoo, and he is to acquire such an accession of intellect that an established government, 150,000 soldiers, and the whole army and navy of England are to go down before its irresistible power. Ido not pretend to explain how the knowledge which is power in one race can be ab solutely impotent in another; but I can only say, for my self, with regard to this question, that, in my opinion, we shall not secure or prolong our ,dominion in India by attempting to exclude the natives of that country from a share in its government, or by attempting to discourage their study of western learning ; and I will only say, further, that, however that may be, I will never consent to keep them ignorant in order to keep them manageable, or to govern them in ignorance in order to govern them long. (Hear, hear.) BLACKETT differed from Mr. Macaulay on the subject of the double government, which was the principle of the bill, and which, as the spring and fountain of the Indian administration, affected all its results. He con sented to judge the existing system by its results, which would discover, he said, that it possessed all the vices both of a despotism and of a representative government, with out the advantages of either. All the shortcomings of the existing system, he contended, could be repaired only by concentrating the home government, subjecting it to the utmost amount of responsibility in England. The changes in the double government left it as before, so far as re garded responsibility. The check of au independent Court of Directors was pro tanto, an advantage ; but the bill stripped the Court of all its prerogatives, and transferred them to the President of the Board of Control. He should support the amendment. Lord JOCELYN differed with pain from Lord Stanley, against whose proposition ho felt compelled to vote. Ho considered that we had sufficient evidence to frame a go vernment for India, and ho could not agree that delay was a matter of no importance. Although he did not believe that it would endanger our rule in India, or encourage in surrection, ho believed that it would weaken and paralyse the Government at home and abroad ; that it would teach the people of India to expect far more than they were likely to gain, and that disappointment would create discontent. Ho, therefore, thought that Parliament was bound to legislate now ; and, with respect to the bill before the house, he concurred in its principle, though he dissented from some of its provisions. He defended the government of India in the matter of the land assessment. The judicial department he thought one of the great blots of that go vernment. Less had also been laid out upon education than should have been ; but the Government had not neg lected this object. The sum expended upon public works had been comparatively small ; but millions had been wasted in unjust and unprovoked wars, for which the Board of Control was to blame ; and he was not prepared, therefore, to concede to the Adninistration of the day that authority in India which had ; produced such unfavourable results in our colonies. Being friendly to a double system of government for India, he, nevertheless, was sensible of the defects of the present mode of electing the directors ; but he could not approve of the change which the bill pro posed to make in the constitution of the Court. Ho dis approved likewise of the mode in whick it was intended to deal with the patronage ; a portion of the military ap pointments, he agreed with Lord Stanley, should be given to the servants of the East India Company. Mr. OTWAY insisted that before Parliament legislated upon this subject it was expedient that the wants and the views of the natives of India should be ascertained. He read descriptions of their wretched condition, and of the cruelty and oppression to which they were said to be sub jected. He dwelt upon the alleged abuses in the adminis tration of justice in India, and the neglect of works of public utility and necessity, and he complained of the in justice of imposing an irresponsible bureaucracy upon the people of India. He should vote for the amendment. Mr. ADDERLEY likewise supported the amendment, which supposed, he said, necessarily that a continuance bill should be passed to give time for the preparation of a better measure than that before the house, which was al most universally disapproved. Mr. Macaulay, by confining its defence to one clause of the bill, shirking all its great principles, had virtually condemned the remainder. The want of information could not be more clearly shown than by the bill itself. Its avowed object was to secure the in dependence, by making it a one-third nominated council. In order to obviate misapprehension, he recommended the addition to the amendment of the words, " that it is ex pedient to continue the present act for two years." Mr. MANGLES defended the Indian Government, which, he maintained, in spite of excusable omissions and shortcomings, was the best Government of a great depend ency the world ever saw. It was important that somebody should be interposed between the local administration of India and the Ministers of the Crown, with whom, how ever, resided the sole power of peace and war, for the ex ercise of which they were responsible. Ho then replied to various statements made in the course of the debate with reference to the land revenue, the Indian debt and finan ces, public works, and the alleged nepotism of the direc tors. Mr. F. VILLIERS moved that the debate be adjournat Lord J. RUSSELL expressed a hope that the discussion would be brought to a close on Monday. Mr. BRIGHT observed, that those who opposed the measure were not responsible for its unnecessary introduc tion. For his part, he would not be sorry if the debate were to terminate on Monday, but he could not undertake that it would be so. The debate was then adjourned to Monday, The Tenants' Compensation (Ireland) Bill went through committee, as did the Pimlico Improvement Bill. The report on the Customs', &c., Acts was brought up and received. The Evidence Amendment Bill was read a second timo. The Soap Duties Bill was read a third time and passed. The Parish Vestries (No. 2) Bill went through committee. The Common Lodging-houses Bill passed through com mittee and was reported. ASSISTANT•JUDGE (MIDDLESEX) BILL. The house resolved itself into a committee to consider a resolution previous to the introduction of this bill. The resolution was agreed to ; and, the house having resumed, the report was brought up and the bill ordered to be brought in. FROM TIIE LONDON GAZETTE of YESTERDAY. CROWN-OFFICE, JUNE 22.

Borough of Harwich.—John Bagshaw, of Cliff House, Dovorcourt, in the county of Essex, Esq., in the room of George Montagu Warren Peacocke, Esq., whose election for the said borough has been declared void. ORDER OF PUBLIC BUSINESS. Colonel BLAIR had understood that the University Tests (Scotland) Bill was to be taken the first thing on Tuesday, but had since been informed that the Lord- Advocate wished to take the Sheriff Courts (Scotland) Bill first, and ho wished to ask the right hon. gentleman if that was the case ? The LORD-ADVOCATE considered that it would be most desirable to take the Sheriff Courts (Scotland) Bill the first thing on Tuesday. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. G. BERKELEY, a new writ was ordered for the election of a burgess to serve in the pre sent Parliament for the borough of Tralee, in the room of Maurice O'Connell, Esq., deceased. The house adjourned at a quarter*past one. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-YESTERDAY. As if it were to keep up the excitement, a little more novelty in the betting upon the Northumberland Plate was introduced, Chief Justice, who has for some time received a deal of public support, in a very short time receded from 13 to 2 to 15 to 1 offered, the same price being offered in the evening ; the consequence was a slight advance of both Goldfinder and Colsterdale to 9 to 2 each. St. Michael, who has been a coming horse all the week, was backed at all prices from 100 to 8 to 8 to 1. To-day the Northumberland Plate was again the upper most question, and Goorkab, the "Lion" of the day, open ing at 9 to 1, and closing at 6 to 1, at which price he was backed to win a fair amount. Considering there was but a small muster, many havinggone to Harrowgate, just before the breaking up, St, Michael came into force at 7 to 1. Chief Justice had no friends at anything like a reasonable price; 15 to was currently offered •Bto 1 would have been taken about Little Harry for th e Goodwood Stakes to some money.
