In the House of Lords on Tuesday evenin g Lord Hard wicke opportunely introduced a subject which has never ceased to occupy a most prominent place in the eyes of the public, and which is still of the most anxious interest. The question concerned nothing less than the agency available for the con veyance of our troops to India, and the statement made by Lord Panmure o i the occasion deserves particular attention and remark. Our Naval and Military Intelligence will have informed the public that the 94th Regiment, hav ing made two false starts for India in a hired steam transport named the Austria, is now about to be despatched overland. The price to be paid for the use of this vessel—a vessel owned, manned, and officered by foreigners, was about 30,0001., whereas so deplorable was the bargain that after the ship had twice put back to port in distress the attempt was given up altogether. Upon this text Lord Hard wicke very sensibly observed that the country would have gained largely by employing the Royal steam navy for the transport of our troops, and that, considering our marine included 270 steam vessels of all sizes, with a reserve of 10,000 availabe seaman at hand, it was "inconceivable why recourse had not been had to those means," instead of en gaging at a great cost vessels which, after all, could not be mad to go. Lord Panmure's reply was exceedingly remarkable. He observed, in the first place, and as if to clear the Government of any ac countability in the matter, that the conveyance of troops to India was one of the functions of the East India Company, and that the Company was respon sible for its proper discharge. As regarded the case alleged, he did not deny the miscarriage, but urged that it was a single instance of failure in a series of successful exertions, and that though the Company might perhaps with some degree of justice be ac cused of having taken up indifferent vessels for the transport service just at first, they had latterly shown great zeal in repairing the error. After this exculpation of the Directors he proceeded to state thet, as the regiment in question would now be despatched overland, almost all the time lost by the mishaps of the Austria would he made up, and finally delivered his opinion on the main question by " entirely concurring with his noble friend in thinking that there could be no valid objection to the employment of the large class of vessels at the disposal of the Admiralty." Now, as regards the particular case of the Aus tria, perhaps the plea of " first fault" may be al lowed to carry a little weight ; ror are we disposed to insist much on the early bargains of the com pany in the way of transport vessels, though we were taken to task once for saying what Lord Pan inure now admits may be said without injustice. In this respect the directors did but share the blind ness of other authorities both at home and in the dg t er h re e a y tti ermidtmgeaspgpreaedts despatch. thiho. There thatir e e ta t n e do importantchcear scEiooansnst ( , enallsi and eidt wf when oasr iui points of Lord Patimure's speech concern conclu sions of a far more comprehensive character. To begin with—let the reader observe the operation of the "double government" of India at a conjuncture when the most urgent demands are made upon the resources of the country at home. Nothing is more obvious than thatthe despatch of troops is a point upon which everything—up to the very preserva tion of the Empire—may depend, and yet the des patch of troops is a matter with which the Admin istration declares it has nothing to do. The Mi nister of War may provide the battalions, but by what means they are to be sent out, or when they are likely to arrive, are questions within the control of the " Company." To complete the absurdity, although the Homo Government has nothing to do with the troops on our own shores, it becomes chargeable with their transport when they are on the shores of India, 15,000 miles off, and awaiting their return. Next, look at the confession at last pronounced with respect to the advantages or disadvantages of the Overland Route. After all we have heard about the chances of delay and difficulties of trans shipment, transit, and so forth, it is now plainly stated that the despatch of a regiment via Alexan dria will be attended with such expedition that nearly all the time lost since the sth of October in fruitless endeavours to make the passage with a bad steamer may be recovered, and that the batta lion " may be expected to arrive in India not long The remaining point affords a still more signal illustration of the tardiness with which we attain to a knowledge of the right course. We now bear the Minister ef War exprei , sing his decided Opinion that there could be "no valid objection" to em ploying the enormous resources of the Royal Navy in carrying the Queen's regiments from one part of her dominions to another. But in the meantime, and before this truth was recognised, 35,000 sol diers have been despatched in transports of all de scriptions, 801119 of which may tumble about the ocean for four or five months together before mak ing the port of their destination. If this " concur rence of ()pinion" had been but forthcoming in June 13st, the reinforcements now tardily pouring into Calcutta might have arrived there six or eight weeks bhfore. We remember the old objections to the proposal—such as the necessary pr tection of our own shores, and the dislike of naval officers to become commanders of transports. But, surely, with a steam navy of 270 vessels we have quite force enough to defend ourselves at home; and to spare a squadron for the emergencies of our Em pire in the East ? Of tho objections of naval officers to convey troops, we can only say that if there are any Brahmins in the naval service who entertain such scruples, they should be instantly dismissed. But we attach very little weight to_ this pretext. Of course, a Petit- Captain! ,worrieterather go to sea on a seaman's regular duty than carry half his guns in ballast and see his decks turned into barrack-rooms ; but he would much rather do this service than do no service at all. Anything is better than utter inaction or mere holyday cruising. Besides, there was ample scope in India for the more regular services of the Navy. A frigate and two or three smaller vessels insured the safety of Calcutta, and Captain Peel, with his 300 or 400 blue-jackets, has been welcomed at every town on the Ganges. Bri tish sailors have not been even sent into Assam, and if t'ey have not been still more generally em ployed it is only because they were not at hand for the purpose. The wh, , le matter COMM to this, that when ships are wanted for national purposes the ships of the nation should be available for performing them, otherwi , e Parliament is likely to look at the Navy Estimates with considerably less liberality than 1) fore. When we talk of Britain's ascendancy on the seas, we ought to mean not merely that we can fight naval battles, but that we can command the waters for all purp..ses whatever. If great naval encounters are out of date duties of other kinds have succeeded them, and we believe that the officers of the Navy are just as ready for these duties as any other. What they naturally desire is active service and chance of distinction, nor can it be agreeable to so many energetic minds to see the navy and its seamen condemned to idleness, which would be disgraceful if it were not involun tary, while the eyes of the country are strained in following the march of its soldiers, and the whole nation burning with eagerness to reward their achievements. With the finest navy in the world, doing ?lathing but scour decks and square yards, we have kept a regiment tossing about for a couple of months in want of a vessel to carry it to India, a...El have sent 40,000 men in hired transports. We trust that when next the Navy Estimates have to be moved, Sir Charles Wood will be brought to strict account as to the cost of the transport of troops to India ; and that if, as seems but too pos sible, a great disaster should occur from their tardy arrival, Parliament and the nation will know upon whom to fix the blame. ANOTEER PROCLAMATION OP NANA SAHIB. (Front the Friend of India, Oct. 29 ) The Lahore Chronicle publishes the following "Proclamation" by Nana Sahib : "It has been ascertained from a traveller who has lately arrived at C twnpore from Calcutta, that pre viously to the distribution of the cartridges for the purpose of taking away the religion and ciste of the people of Hindostan, a council was held, at which it was resolved that, as this was a matter of reli gion,•+. uttyri 1,1 necnuann.ry +n nnapirby 2000 or 8,000 Europeans, and to kill 50,000 Hindostanees, and then all Hindostan would be converted to Christianity. "A petition to this effect was sent to Queen Victoria, and the opinion of the council was adopted. A second council was then held, to which the English merchants were admitted, and it was agreed that, to assist in carrying out the work, the same number of European soldiers should be allowed as there were Hindostanee Sepoys, lest, in the event of any great commotion arising, the former should be beaten. When this petition was perused in England, 35,000 European troops were embarked in ships with the utmost rapidity and despatched to India. Intelli g ence of their de s p atc h was received in Calcutta, and the gentlemen of Calcutta issued order: for the distri bution of the cartridges. Their real object was to make Christians of the army under the idea that when this was done there would be no• delay in Christianising the people generally. In the cart ridges the fat of swine and cows was used. This fact was ascertained from Bengalee4 who were em ployed in making the cartridges ; one of these men was put to death and the rest were imprisoned. Here they were carrying out their plans. Then the Ambassader of the Sultan of Constantinople at the Court of Loudon sent information to the Sul tan that 35,000 English troops were to be de spatched to India to make Christians of that coun try. The Sultan sent a firman to the Pasha of Egypt to theeffect that he was colluding with Queen Victoria ; that this was not e time for compromise ; thatfrom what his webaesadorsent it appeared that 35,000 soldieis h.id I.L en despatched tt, India to make Christine of the peeple and soldiers of that country ; that there was still time to put a stop to ' this ; that if h e was guilty of any neglect in the matter, what kind of a face would he be able to show to God ; that that day would one day be his, since, if the English succeeded in making Christians of the people of Elindostan, they would attempt the same in his country. On the receipt of this firman of the Sultan the Pasha of Egypt, before the arrival of the English troops, made his arrange ments and collected his troops at Alexandria, for that is the road t o India, and on the arrival of the English army th e troops of the Pasha of Egypt began firing with cannon from all sides, and destroyed and sank the ship, so that not a single Englishman of them remained. The English at Calcutta, after issuing the order for biting the cartridges and th e b reaking out o f thi s now spread ing mutiny and rebelli on , were l o oking for assist ance from the army coming from London ; but God, by the exerci se o f Hi s Al m i g ht y power , settled their business there. When the intelligence of the destruction of the army of London was received the Governor-General felt great grief and beat his head. At the beginning of the night murder and robbery were contemplated ; in the morning the body had no head, nor the head any covering ! In one revolution the sky became of the s ame colour, neither Nadir nor no Nadir's Govern mentpaper has been printed by This audacious rigmarole is a va l ua bl e contribu tion to the history of the rebellion.

The paper sugg es ts to us another doubt. The G overnm ent of India has repeatedly an d f orma lly t i • s lever, in the denied any inte ntion of conversion. Nana Sahib e ith e r believes those denials, or h e d oes no t. If he does not, the p rocla mations have failed of any effect whatever. If he does, they have failed to restrain his impudence of assertion. The effect produced on him and on his countrymen must, th oug h different in degree b e su b s t an ti a lly the same. We therefore put, not i n a s pi r it of hos tility, lint in utter sadness o f h eart, t hi s ques ti o n to the Government—ls it not time that these pro clamations, and the policy ev - hich dictates them were thoroughly re-examined ? Is it not possible perpetual talk a neutrality is interpreted intothat fear ? The pollowing commenced at eight o'clock this morning, and the result of the election was never for a moment doubtful, Mr. R. J. Bagehaw taking the lead from the first, and maintaining it to the close of the poll. To the uniniatiated this may appear rather surprising, in view of the respectable position which Mr. Arcedeckne maintained at the nomination yesterday ; but his popularity seems to have prevailed principally among the non electors of the borough, who consist, for the most part, of sea-faring men, and have, therefore, a natural sympathy with a gentleman who manifests an interest in nautical pursuits. The available strength of the electors is only 301. The following is the close of the poll, as recorded by Mr. Bag ehaw's committee :-.- Bagshaw ••• ... 161 Arcedeckne ... •.• ... ... 67 Majority for Bagshaw ... —94 The town was quiet during the morning, and the mayor, who presided DA returning officer ' was per mitted to do so with all proper dignity and gravity. As the hours wore on, however, the number of noisy fellows in the streets perceptibly increased, and when the period had arrived for closing the poll the hustings were surrounded with a d.oila , crowd of pers ins, many of whom were evidently bent on destroying them. The doomed timbers• were defended by a considerable force of policemeb, but a se , man scaled a wall in the rear, and his example being quickly followed by others, the work of destruction was commenced end carried out in an inconceivably short space of time., The mayOr and town clerk were glad to escape as beet they co u ld, and the official chili. of the fornier_ was bundled about very unceremoniously, but no one sustained any injury. The whole proceeding was regarded with comparative good humour, and by many persons seemed to be taken almost as a matter of course. THETFOIZD ELECTIoy. THE rFolth, WEDNESDAY. This election took place tlds morning at the Town Hall. There was a numerous attendance of the electors. The mayor, C. S. Bidwell, Esq., pre sided. After the usual formalities, L. Bidwell, Esq., after expressing regret, that owing to the ill-health of their late member, he was not equal to a residence in London, proposed Mr. Alexander Hugh Baring as member for the borough. H. Tyrrell, Esq., seconded the nomination. The Mayor, hearing no other candidate proposed, declared Mr. Alexander Hugh Baring duly elected. (Applause.) Mr. Baring then addressed the electors, sincerely thanking them for the honour they had done him. He felt that it was very gratifying to him to enter into public life in connection with a constituency whom he had the honour of knowing from his earliest years. He would go to Parliament un pledged to any party, and though his opinions would remain Conservative, still he felt that his duty re quited that he should go to Parliament to assist in carrying out such improvements and moderate re forms as were necessary for the country. The im portant matters to be brought before Parliament dur ing the present session would not be numerous, but itere would be the question of the present Bank Act, an act for the reform of Indian affairs, the RAI.- liamentary Reform Bill, and Lord John Russell's bill for the admission of the Jews into the House of Commons. As far as the monetary crisis was concerned, it would require a better financier than himself to give any opinion, but he would arrive at the best conclusion he could after hearing the dis cussions in Parliament. He thought that they must not reject any measure which was calculated to alleviate the distress and suffering which now unhappily existed, especially in the northern parts of the country. As far as Indian affairs were con cerned, it wo ild be presumptuous in him to at tempt to give any history of them, or to find out any causes of the late events. He could only say that crimes of singular atrocity had been com mitted, and if those atrocitieshad been unparalleled in the history of the world, so bad the vengeance v.hiek had overtaken them. (Applause.) He only regretted that the gallant officers and soldiers in India who had hitherto carried on the war would he superseded by men sent out from this country who perhaps were not so fit or so equal to maintain order. What the act might be as to the Indian question it was impossible for him to say, but it would probably be one fur the total abolition of the Court of Directors of the East India Company, formed about 120 years ago, under a totally diffe rent system, to represent interest of the share holders. ow if the interest on Indian stock was paid by the Government the proprietors would have no more interest In the company than other people. The nation had a right to expect that the directors of the company should be composed of the best men, and that the power of nomination should be taken out of the hands of the select few who at pre sent enjoyed it. He thought, however, that such a measure should enact that the directors should be entirely abolished, and that Indian affairs should be brought into closer connection with the House of Commons, and that the control would not be given to men of moderate abilities, as hitherto. The honourable gentleman then promised that he would vote for the admission of Jews into Parlia ment ; and if the anticipated Reform Bill inter fered with that borough he would do his best to protect the privileges which they had so lung enjoyed. Three cheers were given for the honourable member. THE COLLIERS' STRIKE IN SOUTH WALES. ABERDARE, TUESDAY. As many very erroneous and exaggerated accounts have gained credence in reference to this strike, I pro pose to inform you of the real state of things at this time. As if the event were not in itself grave enough to satisfy any reasonable appetite for the alarming, false rumours have been sent abroad, and men fired at and killed. Nothing of the kind has occured. Threatening letters, promising violence, have been sent abroad ; but beyond a stone thrown through the windows of one of the managers' houses, no act of positive violence has been committed. I told you, in my former communica tion, that on account of the threats used by the " turn outs," and with a view to inspire confidence in the well-affected inhabitants, a . communication had been made from the magistrates to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, requesting the presence of some troops. The Government lost no time in complying wilrh this requisition, al d on Saturday night a detachment, consisting of about 100 men of the 23d Infantry, arrived here by special train from Weedon. The soldiers were immediately stationed in the Town-ball, and their com manding officer, Captain Smith, has, by direction of the Secretary of State, placed himself and his men at the disposal of the justices. Either the knowledge of these military preparations, or returning good sense en the part of some of the operatives, has already produced a salutary effect. On Saturday the colliers connected with this Aberdare Company's iron works made an offer, in imitation of the conduct of the Merthyr men, to return to their employ. The Messrs. Fotbergill at first refused to receive them, stating, it is said, that in the present state of the trade iron-masters can only keep on their make out of motives of consideration for their men, and that, so far as they themselves were concerned, a sus pension of operations would be a desirable thing. Amongst the applicants for re-employment, however, were many steady workmen who had been for years in the company's employ, and who, having had nothing to do with the strike, were to be pitied as victims of the misguided conduct of others. Out of consideration for those men the masters relented, and the iron-works colliers have gone in at a reduction amounting to about 20 per cent. The sea-going coal men still remain out, and will probably give some trouble, if indeed they do not get themselves into diffi culties. On Monday Mr. Bruce, M.P. for Merthyr, called a large meeting of the turn-outs, whom he ad dressed en the folly of their conduct, pointing out to them that the reduction proposed bad been forced on the masters by the necessities of the times ; that " strikes" at all times result most disadvantageously to those engaged in them ; and that were the masters to go on giving the present rate of wages, such a course could only lead to a ruinous state of things which must prove disastrous to all. The hon. member's address appeared to produce an effect, and, at the request of some of the men, he will this day have an interview with the masters on their behalf. lam not very hopeful of the result, as there are a lot of the turn-outs, most of them young hot headed fellows, who seem resolved not to go in, and by whom the others seem to be in a great measure led.

The CHAIRMAN said there were certain times and circumstances which rendered the next toast ex tremely interesting and necessary that it should be given on occasions like the present, though it might not be on all occasions the custom to regard it in that light. The toast he had to propose was " The health of the Army and Navy "—(cheers)—and when they considered that the mind of every Eng lishman and every Englishwoman, and lie might say of every man and woman in the civilised world, had been turned to the achievements of the army in the East, he thought he should riot be doing his duty if he did not give to a large assembly of Eng lish farmers an opportunity of expressing the re spect they felt for the army and navy. (Cheers.) He was well aware that their minds had been directed in an unparalleled degree to the atrocities and barbarities which had been committed in In dia. The blood, indeed, ran cold when they contem plated the accounts of the barbarities committed upon children sitting on their mothers' knees, and infants at the breast. But in contem plating these sorrowful facts, men's minds were turned to those gallant deeds which had been achieved by the army. When the country should be restored to the Crown, England would be indebted to the army now in India for that consummation. Those men, consisting of com paratively small bands, led on by intrepid leaders, had encountered unheard-of difficulties—they have endured the trials of climate and season, when it was thought impossible for any European troops to traverse the country. Our gallant heroes had had to contend, not against undisciplined troops, but against troops who were the pupils of our own officers, having learned the use of the same arms, and having with them at Delhi 270 guns, which hid been manufactured by, our own authorities. He must mention here the high compliment paid to the army (which had never before been paid to it) by the Emperor of the French—(hear, hear)—which ought to be made known from one end of the country to the other, as affording V.e best guaran tee of the goad feeling which the Emperor of the French entertained for this country. When the war broke out, it was necessary that our troops. should proceed by the shortest route, and the Em peror made it known that the army of England might pass through France. In the same spirit, the Paella of Egypt had offered to givo every facility for the transit of troops. And hero lie would pay the tribute of respect to Neill, Nichol son, and others of the brave defenders of their Queen who had bled and died in their country's cause. There were others who, ho trusted, still were survivors, who had only last night receives from Parliament the acknowledgment of t leir ser vices. Brigadier General Wilson, Havelock, and Greathed, ()throw, and Eyre, and the devoted Salkeld. Again, there were Home, Lawrence, Wheeler, Chamberlain, Cotton, and Edwards, all distinguished for their great military skill. The toast having been drunk with loud cheers, was responded to by Colonel Towneley. The CHAIRMAN said he had now to propose that which was the toast of the evening, but all the diffi culty he might have had in proposing that toast was done away with by their respected honorary secre tary, Mr. Gibbs, who had printed an account of the society from its commencement in a pamphlet It appeared from this report that the society was first established in 1798. In 1800 tho numbers amounted to 50. In the year 1838 the Royal Agricultural Society had its origin in that room. He remembered being present on the c ccasion, and being consulted on the matter. He found that the Royal Agricultural Society had its origin from this. Her Gracious Majesty and the Prince Consort visited the show in 1844 and 1850, and the Prince Consort became a member in 1841. In the year 1839 the show was removed from Goswell-street, and he need not direct attention to the results of that proceeding. They now number 300 members, and they could say, not as a boast but as a fact, that they did that which no other club was enabled to do—they gave away each and every year 1,2001. in prizes, and the interest which this club excited, both in this town and in the country, showed how many were at tached to it on account of its practical utility. Their object was to produce the greatest amount of food to the people at the cheapest possible people at the cheapest possible rate. It was for this purpose it was established. The noble lord con cluded by giving "Prosperity to the Smithfield Cattle Club." (Loud cheers.) The Hoer. SECRETARY then gave out the names of the successful competitors to whom gold medals had been awarded. Mr. Edward Wortley, Lieut.- Colonel Towneley, Lord Berners, the chairman, and the Duke of Richmond. Lieut.-Col. Towneley's was the 20th gold medal he had received. The medal to the chairman was presented to his lord ship by Lord Feversham. Mr. WORTLEY expressed his satisfaction at re ceiving the soc'ety's gold medal. The CHAIRMAN gave "The Health of the Duke of Richmond" amidst loud applause, and stated his grace was absent on duty connectd with his county militia. The noble lord very eloquently impressed upon the minds of the farmers and others the duty of aiding in raising and strengthening the most constitutional force, the militia. Lord W. LENNOX returned thanks on behalf ef his noble brother, the Duke of Richmond. Lord FEVERSIIAM proposed the health of the noble chairman, and as he was the president of the Royal Agricultural Society, he would give " J.,ord Berners and the Royal Ag ricultural Society. The CHAIRMAN acknowledg ed th e compliment. • Vice- Chancellor KINDERSLEY said ho !mist ac knowledge himself totally ignorant of agricultural matters.

The toast was responed to • outer complimentary toasts following, and the company separated at a late hour. .Mr. Coggin aet'ea toastmaster in a very cre ditable manner. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, said it would be difficult to exaggerate the importance of the subject which they had assembled to discuss that night. It was no new thing to complain of the misgovernment of the millions of India ; but recent events forced India on the attention of the British put lic in such a manner that the question could no torseer be evaded. At the close of the last session the Indian crisis came upon them with. the (Io) s ll t i t i d t t t l e e d m i l i e i ss th o a f t a co t u e n r t h r a y d b o y , t a i i i i o d p a e t t r a o r c ril iti y es of w t e h re e East India Company which would be remembered for many a long year. There must be a cause for this. (Hear.) It was their duty to ascertain that cause. They must see if the real cause of these events was not to be found in the existence of an irresponsible government. (Cheers.) The imme• diete cause of the insurrection in India was the an nexation of Oude. (near.) The policy of annexa tion had been too long pursued, and at last th e people broke out in rebellion. Mr. Norton in his hook said that the police of spoliation pursued for the last eight years by 11 , U (1 aillionsie did more to alienate the people of India than OH a century of previous misru'e. Gross misgovernment and mis management characterised their rule in India, and. the climax at last came in the rebellion now raging in Oude arid other parts of the country. This sub ject would be discussed in the House of Commons, but the pressure of the people out of doors would have great effect on the discussions that must theta take place. s - I:3y good government, bx giving a gocd land tenure, by speeding the revenue drawn from the people of _hider for the benefit of India, and hy giving fair play to the spread of Christianity, he thought that the people of that country might live happily under the government of England. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE moved the first resolution as follows :—" That the present rebellion and the previens complaints in India, complaints of all ranks and conditions of men, except thoseroe thatwlm profited by the monopoly of patronage, prove the system of the so-called ' double government' has excited the general hatred and disaffe c ti on o f its subjects, and has nearly occasioned the loss of our Indian empire; and, dierefere, that it is ex pedient that the ' double government' should cease ; that no farmers or trustees of India should any longer stand between the complaints of the people and the power and justice of the crown, and that the supremacy of the Queen and parliament alone should henceforth be'rec.eguised in India, as it is in every other part of the British dominions." He believed that if the news was carried out to India that the system of irresponsible government was destroyed, it would do more to restore tran quility to India than would the sending out many regiments of soldiers. They had pursued a policy in India which was called by the euphuistic name of annexation, but which was nothing more nor less than taking from the native princes whatever the conquerors thought convenient to take. (Hear, bear.) The conduct pursued by the Indian govern ment in battara and Oude was so infamous that it would get an attorney struck off the rolls if pursued by an individual. Ho trusted that the government under which these things were permitted would not be allowed to continue, in order that the inhabi tants of India might know something of the real character of the English people ; and when the valour of Englishmen had put down this rebellion, he hoped the inhabitants of India might know something of the justice and equity of this nation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MIALL seconded the resolution. After what had occurred in India, he hoped they might speak of the double government of India without being accused of " utter ignorance of the subject." (Laughter.) The government of India was so curious a thing that nothing could be said of it which was not true and false at the same time. The government of India was now here and now there, but it was nowhere when you wanted to make it responsible for great crimes and great wrongs. The East India Company acted as buffers to the Board of Control. (Laughter.) They were powerless to do good, and convenient instruments for working mis chief. The real government in the hands of the crown. There con dbe no doubt of that. Why, then, did not the crown take the ostensible govern ment 1 There could n be a more dangerous thing than for a government to have the real power, anti yet be-eencealed from the eye and control of publio opinion. (Hear.) Tice Sepoy revolt which inflicted such unspeakable disasters, lapping the whole c o Tpeh t oe i i t pl t e r e y oo pf te n hoi su a n i ct i o d r uy I b ltt l o o r yose some a en t t see l dn % t i e g o t og h fe tt r i o ire u i di s r ed he of the Company in order to got at the minister—to make him come out of his dark recess, and do his work, as every honest man should, in the open face of day. (Hear.) This was the real meaning of the cry against the continuance of the double govern ment, and it was not a cry of vengeance against the East India Company. They wanted the Ea s t India Company to stand out of the light in order that they might see what could be done for the welfare of that vast portion of the world. He was desirous to see an end of that jealousy of European enterpt ise which characterised the past policy of the Company, and that support which they gave to Brahmiuical and Mahometan intolerance. He wanted to ste the physical and moral development of the people of India. He wanted to see an end. put to the traditions of a government which com menced in commercial cupidity, and still drew its revenue from a monopoly of salt and of opium. (Hear.) He wanted to see a smaller military force in India, less highly paid civil servants, and a free and ungagged press. (Cheers.) There were difficulties in the way, to be sure ; but what was difficulty but the measure of the intelligence and the energy which was necessary to overcome it ? The Marquis of CLANRICARDE supported the re solution, and expressed his regret that the question of patronage was made an obstacle in the way of Indian reform. He would, to secure the general good, leave the patronage with the Company ; not but that lie thought there was likely to be as much corruption in their disposition of it as could pos-; sibly arise if it were placed in the hands of her Majesty's Ministers. Mr. MEAD, in an able speech, explained the dif ferent systems of land tenure in India, and strongly advocated the employment of free labour there for the growth of cotton, sugar, and oil seeds, as the only means by which the revenue of the country could be made to overtake the annual deficit. He concluded an instructive speech by moving the fol lowing resolutions :—" That although a vicious and irresponsible system of home government, like the trusteeship of the East India Company, may be well fitted for extending out Indian empire, by its un scrupulous use of force and fraud against the feeble powers of Asia, still it is evidently unfitted for in spiring s o atincgonßfirditeinsch power in any part of the world,e in British honour, and for con. and until it be superseded, no effectual step can be taken towards removing those evils of which the people of India so justly complain ; such as, a judi cial and police administration which gives security for person or property ; a system of land revenue which prevents capitalists from investing their for tunes in the soil ; a want of irrigation to develop its boundless riches, and of roads and c dials to bring its produce to market; a traditionary policy of discour agingi British enterprise and settlement infficnedbia, and a monopoly of all the prizes of iopolised by the directos of I patronage hitherto nioi b os of HAIL te e the • the East bidit Company e on o the nominees of time home Governmendt..s.lT:ohualtdthbye whole body of their countrymen, an o g f i given ti Cabinetto the public s t a e t r large 4 oy a a r nd s ago,tha that, in time dthewords Pre sident of the Board of Control, means might easily be adopted for placing the appointments iu India under that species of managemeut which would not tend in any degree to injure the principles of the constitution by increasing the influence of the in this Crown.' the attempt to supervise and administrationcon tliiririmelelf'olgirieaotmloteer trol the detai lsecasesoslis to o ruo f Indian country is absurd in theory, pernicious in practice, such l a d n o d ne i d n , attempt t most ithe henceforth cae fnodrtGovernmentb deceptive; b abne limited to matters of Imperial policy, and local checks imposed on the local administration in India, by the institution of open legislative councils, and the restoration of the liberty of the press." These wet e seconded by Mr. WALLER, who favoured the meeting with Lis experience in the ainier in which gov e rnment was adminis tered in India.
