fliE StrIC toNtION._ WFIDNEADAV LeVENING, _AUGUiiT IV a lASI meet, and especially in the noble lord, they ought to be , content to be guided by his opinion. Mr. WHITESIDE agreci with the hon. member for Buckingham that we all underrated the impottance of the present crisis in India. SOnce be had last addressed the house on this subj, , ct intelligeoc) of mot painful occur rences had been received ; he had heard from the hon. member f rr Dublin and the hon. member for ArmaLh that they bad relatives in the massacre at Delhi. Was there to be no redress for ail that had occurred, and was the House of Commons to adopt the pi i3y laid down by the rnernbtr for Lambeth, and take it for granted that all that was said and done by the Government was said and done rightly and well. Thera was nothing the Govern ment could ask from that side of the house for the defence of India that they woull nut grant; but the remedy to be w'opted in this ease depended on the e xtent of the disease, and the military force required in India de pended on the policy intended to be pursued by Govern ment in that country. He bad read, a fes days ag3, a statement in a journal of great circulation which might be translated and appear in the Indian papers, and be read to the East Indian soldiers. This was the policy recomm.nded by a writer who signed himself " Ano3- Indian " :—" I am happy to hear that evidence is being obtained both as to the Emperor of Delhi and the King of Oude. It will be pleasant to save 250,0001. or 300,0001. a year in their forfeited pensions. I have some hopes that the Nawah of Moorshedabad may be impli gone further and made more suggestions as to the orga nisation of the army, on which he would have been an excellent authority, instead of cliafining himself to the present state of affairs. But be wished to correct a state ment which he made as to the manner i❑ R h oh the rein- forcements bad been sent out. They were not all sent out in bailing ships, but it was thought advisable to send come of them is sailing ships called clippers„ and the ethers in auxiliary screw steamers. There were at least 12 or 13 auxiliary screw steamers employed, and they a 3 well as the clippers are all under a penalty to arrive in a certain number of days ; and the time of arrival would be the beet suited to the climate. He hoped also they would arrive in time to be of service, and that they would be perpetually pouring in, so as to astonish the mutineers at the extent of our resources, which he was told would have a great effect. With regard to the troops being sent overland, he believed that the passage by the Red Sea at this time would be noxinus to the health of the troops, and therefore it was thought better to send them by the usual route. They would arrive in the course of September, and her Majesty's Government would not have it on their consciences that they had neglected any opportunity of sending out troops to India by the beet means. In addition to the troops sent out from this country there would be a large body of men called the Purjatib levies, to the amount of from 39,000 to 40,000 men, all of whom he was told were to be depended upon, and they had been organised by such men as Brigadier Chamberlain and C , lonel Nixon. But in mentioning the cared t 0 , ,. That would save 120,0001. a year more. OA.C3 again do allow me to plead earnestly that, instead of now yielding to caste, and pottering about the " pre ju,lices" of the natives, our future policy should be an unbending, stern, and avowed discouragement of every thing opposed to civilisation, social morals, and Briti-h supremacy. If we now issue a proclamation declaring that, whereas caste has been used as a plea for sedition, and whereas it is based on falsehood, and the British Government regards all men aslborn. equal, therefore henceforth it shall not be recognised in any form, the whole undo population will bow, admit the justice of our indignation, and this monstrous anti-social absur city will soon perish. I am not for letting the State turn missionary ; but if our soldiers knock down every fi thy idol they see, and lay every mu-jid level with the ground, and if they pollute every shrine and Ilunder every one which is worth plundering, I shall not be sorry. For as to these " religions," what are they, i❑ fact, but lust, lies, treachery, murder, and social degra• dation l I should like to see our government cause it to be known that its past forbearance has been abused, and that now Mahomedans and Hindoos must look to it for no sort of countenance." He wanted to know if that was the policy to be acted upon. The "AnLlo-Indian" was of opinion that 50,00 C additional troops, in addition to our present force, would not be more than sufficient to names of the civil and military authorities, including the two Lawrence?, the hon. and gallant general only men tioned those who were at the top of the tree, who were in an exalted station ; but he (ttr. V. Smith) could detail to the house such acts of heroism on the part of young lieutenants and of men in civil positions, as were he to do so, would gladden the hearts of Englis men, and make them proud of having such men for their countrymen. Mr. DISRAELI said he was rather surprised at tho ,one which had been adopted by the President of the Board of Control in answering the observations of his hon. and learned friend. He was not surprised that his bon. and learned friend should take any opportunity of denouncing the system of mismanagement of India But what was the rejoinder of his right hon. friend That he objected to these comments because they were not making a party question of it ; that the criticisms applied to previous governments as well as to him ; that they did not apply to him perhaps as much as to any one else; and he asked why they did not make a party question of it instead of wasting their time in showing that the most important dependency of the Bri tish empire was in danger of being lost. He (Mr. Dis raeli) thought the house was very much indebted to the hon. and gallant general who had called tbeir attention to this important subject. It was one that must occupy their attention whatever might be the state of the ses sion and whatever might be the state of public business. No public business could be more important. He could not say that the answer of the noble lord gave him the satisfaction that he desired. He would say of the reply of the noble lord that he underrated our position in India and overrated our position in Europe. He thought he might state with the hon. baronet the member for Buckingham that the state of affairs was very much to be regretted. The Government, and the country taking its tsne from the Government, did not think tnere was that vast danger to the empire and na Lionel power which in his conscience he believed existed and which, though it ought not to appal us, was one of which they ought to take full cognisance. There was no greater mistake that a minister could make than te undervalue public peril, certainly an English minister could make no greater mistake. The English nation was never so great as in peril. In prosperty they might be accused of being ostentatious ; in their middle fortune they might deport themselves unreasonaely ; but there had never been a moment when a great responsibility devolved on a people that they had not answered to the occasion, and shown that matchless energy which had enabled them to maintain their position among the nations. The position of the noble lord was that the emergency was not one of the magnitude that he (Mr. Disraeli) believed it to be, or if the noble lord believed it to be such, it was his opinion that he should veil its hideous proportions from the people of this country. It was there that he thought the noble lord made a great mistake. The noble lord said it was only an affair of pounds, shillings, and pence. Now that was not the tone to take if it were really the fact that our Indian empire was in danger. If it were in danger it was not fur the noble lord to say that the resources at his dis posal were limited and that the measures he should adopt must of course be proportionate. Now he did not want to re-open a controversy which they had a fortnight ago, when he introduced the subject of India. The views that he expressed could not be answered by the observ ations of the hour, which coull not test their sound ness and authenticity, but as the question had been re-opened, ho might be permitted, in passing, to make one or two observations. He thought he bad a right to say that nought that had occurred since, none of the information that had reached them from India, had at all refuted the views that he then with great humility laid before the house. He remembered on that occasion the light hon. gentleman called him to task because he ventured to point out the causes that had led to an understanding between the Hindoo and Mahometan princes, and had intimated that they were dissaliefied with the government of India. The right hon. gentleman then treated them as a monstrous lu mation. He said no proof whatever was in their posses sion of such a feeling on the part of those princes, and he treated it as a will idea that he should give expres sion to such a contingency. What was the news by the next mail f That one Mahometan prince had been arrested by the Indian government, and that one prince on whom we relied had gone with his forces against us. And it was only lately that he saw a letter from General Hearsay, in which he stated that emissaries from all the Hindoo princes were to be found in the ranks of the army. lie (LIT.. Disraeli) ventured to say on that OC•la. sion that our government was mistaken in treating this merely as a military mutiny. He shoul I not enter into that, but among the papers laid on the table yesterday, he found a despatch from no less a person than the lieutenant-governor of the North-Western Province, in which he spoke of dissatisfaction among the great mass of the population, and that he found it spreading to the intelligent classes. He ventured then to call attention to the tampering, as he expressed it, of the Legislative Council of India with the religious prejudices of the people, and he said there could be no doubt that from an aggregate of circumstances great prejudice had b=on produced in the minds of the population of India. Nosy in the minutes of the list Governor-General of India, the celebrated minutes of 220 paragraphs and 50 pages, there would be found in page 12 a very brief annoeuce ment, which was spoken of as a matter of great iignifi cance, that the boy Maharajah Dauleep Siug had be ccme a Christian, and that the daughter of the Rajah of Coors had been baptised, our gracious sovereign being the sponsor. That paragraph was translated into the na tive language, and circulated in every bazaar in toe North-Western Province. With such evidence in their hands, combined with many other circumstances to which he would not now refer, who would say that the g iyern ment of India was exempt from that grave charge which had entailed such vast consequences on England and on India itself ? He doubted very much whether thenoble lord, having overrated our position in India, was adopt ing measures adequate to meet the emergency. The noble lord told them that the amount of troops which might be expected soon to assemble in that country, and the resources on which he relied, and he said if more were wanted he would call parliament together. But what he (Mr. Disraeli) wanted to impress upon the house wa B , that the present must be a disastrous campaign. Toe hon, and gallant general expressed a hope that Delhi was taken. reconquer India. The policy recommended was a very char one. I , was a policy of extermination—a policy snakily , war with caste. And that policy had been pur sued by e the Government. They had changed the law of inheritance and the law of marria;e. It was not to be expected that old customs could be suddenly set aside by edict. The disaffection which had manifested itself in the shape of open mutiny had long been in efsteuee and publicly declared in the native newspapers, which had been writing sedition for months. The statements in these papers had pointed out the disaffection arising from the use of the cartridges, and the manner in which that disaffection was spreading in the various provinces. When statements of that kind were made, it was tune not to inquire bnt to act. A letter writ'en by a gent'eman at Calcutta on the la:,h of March, confirmed what ap peared in the printed papers under the date of Feb. 8. It appeared from that letter that the number of white men for the defence of Calcutta did not exceed 250, that there was not a ship of war in eight, and that there was no protection whatever for the shipping, except what might have been afforded by a little ship of war belong ing to the King of Sardinia. The idea that had prevailed in the minds of the people ever since the fatal decree of 1850 or 1851, which made war upoa ca , te, upon the laws of inheritance and the fundamental cuetonas of the llin dons, was that the Government intended to overthrow their religion and customs. Then with respect to the withdrawal of troops, Lord Canning stated in his des patch of Feb. 7, that three regiments might be with drawn for the Chinese war, but in allowing that with drawal be was going to the utmost bounds of prudence. At that time Lord Canning was receiving daily commu nications informing him of fresh mutinies, and then he declared that the lest thing the G ivernment wfshed to do was to interfere with caste or religion. The whole thing had been a ridiculous blunder, for no steps ought to have been taken in that direction without an adequate force to carry them out. For a series of years the warnings of the best military authorities had been neglected. Sir C. Napier stated that 12,000 troops were required for the defence of Delhi, where a magazine for the supply of our troops should be established, and 10,000 men stationed at Meerut for the support of Delhi. Although the Go vernment were in possession of information of what was likely to take place in February, they had thought pro per to send troops from India to China, with which coun try we were at war, whilst the filmes of war were raging from one end of Bengal to the other. It was not suffi cient merely to vote men and money, The policy to be pursued ought to be clearly stated, and some one must be made responsible for the consequences vvnich could be ascribed to causes patent to every one. It might be easy to recognise India, but would it be possible to hold that oountry if the people knew their customs and ancient laws were to be overturned I The affairs of India were in a most awful and terrible condition, and the caueea of that condition must be inquired into. \V hen a gentleman com manding a wing of the 53dRegiment at Ca'cutta, ordered • a company of his troops to be provided with ten rounds of cartridges, to dou'ele their guard, he was called to ac count for giving such an order ; and yet, when such pre cautions were considered necessary, a few days after wards the Governor-General was called upon to send away three regiments. Having withdra Nu these troops, the conduct of the men who were fighting against such great odds would be critised, arid no doubt great sur prise would be expressed that Gen. Barnard bad not done without means what could n it ho accomplished unless large and efficient means were supplied. Re main tained that there had been no foresight, no watchfulness, no judgment ; for if ordinary precaution had been taken, the state of things in India must have been discovered. Although the house was LON called upon merely to vote men and money, he trusted the day was not far distant when the principles on which India was to ho governed would be stated and determined upon by Parliament — when the voice of the House of the House of Commons would be heard in such a manner as te conduce to the wel fare of England and the consolidation of our power in may leaclrui again - st - any foe ; but we cannot lose our clsic." (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen who were road in the history of the middle ages, would know what the eff,ct of excommunication used to be. (Hear, hear.) They would recollect that when the Pope, in the pleni tule of his p ewer, excommunicated an emperor, that sovereign ()out(' not find amongst his servants one that would du a single menial office for him. (Rear, hear.) Now, what excommunication was in the middle ages, that was 10-e of caste t) a Brahmin at the present day. Every one cf those men supposed that if he put these unlucky cartridges into his mouth, his very mother wool' shrink from him, and his father and brethren would refuse to sit with him in the same room. (Cheers.) Was it at all to be wondered at, then, that they wou d rather die than submit to such a degradation ? (Cheers ) He (the gallant colonel) was not in the least apologising for their conduct, ho was merely showing how it might be ac;ounted for. (Hear, hear.) The fearful atrocities at Meerut might all have been spared if common pru dence and knowledge of the native character had been shown. When the 90 skirmishers of the 3rl Cavalry (15 from each troop) were ordered t) parade and to use hareal,ss cartridges they did not believe that those cartridges were barmle , s ones. They begged their native to go to their European officers, an 1 entreat them Mr. Y. SMITH said, a'though the Government were ' anxious to get into commutes of supply, be could not help entering his decided protest against the assertions which had been made by the hon. member for Bucking ham (Sir 11. Verney), and rep-:ated by the hon. and leareed member for Eani-killen (Mr. Whiteside), that the Go vernment were not a mare and conscious of the gravity of the events which were occurring in India. They were perfectly aware of the gravity of the prevent state of affairs. But he doubted whether the hon. andlearned member was equally conscious of that gravity when he came down to the hou-e quoting scraps from newspapers as if they were manifestoes from the Government ; and he ceiteirdy expected that the hon. gentleman would have concluded his first exzract by reading the signature of "Palmerston," or his (lir. V. Smith) ; but after all the hon. and learned gentleman was merely attempting to fasten an anonymous letter on the Government. (Hear, hear.) He repudiated the assertion that any scheme had been adopted for the purpose of putting an end to caste, and counteract and destroy all the institutions of the people of India. Ile regretted that the hon. end learned gentleman had troubled the house with so many observations, particularly as they bad been much better expressed in one of his prior speeches, and in that of the right hon. gentlemen (Mr. Disraeli.) if the hon. and learned gentleman had heard two or three sad stories, he (Mr. &DUI]) had heard hundreds, but did not think it would be right for the Government to assume a tone of despondency, and excite additional alarm. (Hear, hear ) The system which had been pursued in India was one for which the whole country was responsible. For the last 20 years a determination bad t xisted to improve the condition of India and its inhabitants, and to use it as a field for religious improvement ; and when the Govern ment bad been acting slowly in that respect, it was not fair to turn round upon them and accuse them of going too fast. Instead of indicating remedies, it was a great waste of time to throw out torrents of abuse against all the Governments of India which had existed during the last 20 years. If inquiry was needed, let inquiry be in stituted, and be would do everything to facilitate such inquiry ; but the present object was to put out the fire (Hear, hear ) It was said that the Government were only asking for men and money. Why that was all that was required at the present time, and there was but o opinion on the subject. (Rear, hear.) With respect to the alteration in the law of marriage, the hon. and learned gentleman seemed to have overlooked the fact that it. arose out of a petition from the Hindoos, and basing put an end to the old system, it was quite natu ral that widows should b 3 allowed to marry again. Tne b . OO. and l earne d gent l eman was qu it e m i s t a k en i s at ltr,l_4!.olne want of foresight, arrangement, and activity to "' vernment, and he was equally wrong in supposing that in Febru ar y they ware aware of the events to which he had a l luded, for they did not happen till February. r.pithITESIDE said he meant the India. government of Mr. V. SMITH said that as soon as the government of India were aware of the facts they at one adopted the most effective remedies to Peat a stop t o th e m i sc hi e f. The hon. and learn e d gentleman had referred to anony mous authorities. In oppo referred to the statements of tiliet9 those.ov authorities he the Commander-in - Chief, who did not t rnor-General and ser vices of any vessels at Calcutta or the retentiona) the army. Lord Canni n g , i t w as true, stated that of the he ceuld not spare more troop s for*China, but he did not say he was unable to spare the number which he sent to that country. Then with regard to the opinions of Sir C. Napier. No doubt the opinions of that gallant officer were most valuable, but it was a great misfortu ne that Delhi had been made a ma.aazine or arsenal, and it wo u ld have been worse still if delve regiments had been stationed there, for they m ight have joined the muti neers. The accusations of the hon . gen tleman against the government of India bad not been sustained in any way. He defied any man to show that Lord Canning bad Leen in fault, an d main t a i ne d th a t he had shown the greatest possible judgment and vigour, and the greatest personal courage that could be expected from a man in his position No one expected that such an outbreak would tak e place, and any person who bad ventured upon such a prediction would have been regarded almost as a madman in India. He did not expect to be called upon to answer the observations which the hon. gentleman had trade to-night ; but he thought he had answered most of his points. But they had had this debate before them, and the hon. and learned gentleman had not on this oc casion introduced any new subjects fir argument. One word on the speech of the hon. and gallant general the member for Westminster. He only wished that he had not to Lring on a crisis ; for t'ley said, " Whatever a e do, we shell be I,oked on as criminal by our ce-religion i,t-e" The commanding officer, in the first instance, assented to their request ; but unhappily his better feel ings were overruled by another officer of the regiment, who toll him that the men would say be was afraid of them. The parade was, therefore, ordered ; and the men, with the exception of five, refuses to use the car trifges. What was the result ? Of course their dis obouience was mutiny. They were sent to their lines, aul there they remained for three weeks, till an order came down from Simla from General Anson, to try them by a court-martial. The eighty-five men were accord ingly tried, and they were sentenced to ten years' impri sonment to hard labour. They were sent to the common gaol ; tut they were afterwards brought out upon the parade with irons upon their lege ' they and then were sent back to prison. The native troops thought that this vvoull be their own fate, because they knew that they likewise must necessarily refuse to use the obnoxious cartridges. This was on Saturday, On the next day a disturbance took place. The men turned out in the first instance with sticks : they broke into the gaol, and they rel.med not only 85 comrades, but 1,400 felons, who, he believed, had committed most of the atrocities which had taken place ; and he said this after hav ing commanded native regiments nreier very try ing circumstances. (Hear, hear.) At Adahabad 3,000 of these gaol birds were released ; and he firmly be lieved that it was by tlagm that the horrors had been perpetrated which had filled this country with so much indignation and disgust. (Cheers ) Under all the cir cumstances of tbo case, he (Colcnel Sykes) did not fear for the result. The rebellion had arisen from one of those frantic delusions which might at any time have occurred. It was like one of those tropical storms which burst upon then so suddenly, and which were so disastrous in their effects ; but which so soon spent their fury, and left the sky calmer than before. He trusted that when this mutiny bad been trampled out (and he believed the European forces which were being sent would be ample fur the purpose), they would have once more a clear horizon and hope for the liters. (Hear, hear.) lie tru.ited, however, that there was no onein the house or in the country who supposed that we could rule India by European forces alone. (Hear, hear ) To suppose-that these little islands, with their population of 28,000,000 could permanently reduce 181,000,000 persons to subjection was an utter absur dity ; and to attempt to put it in practice would ruin India, and prove permanently disastrous to England. (Ch eers.) Lord J. RUSSELL—I rise merely for the purpose of noticing some of the arguments which have been used, and some of the assertions which have been made by the right hoc. gentleman the member for Bucks. I regretted the able speech which that right hon, gen tleman made on a former night, and I certainly regret some of the observations which he has now offered. The right hon. gentleman says that a resolution of this house to support the Crown in the efforts it may be making and the measures it may afterwards take for the pacification of India will have no moral force. My opinion is entirely different. (Hear, bear.) I agree with the sentiment lately announced by an honourable gentleman who is no lover of war, and who, I am happy to say, is again a mem• her of this house—(hear)—l mean the hon. member for Birmingham, when he said that the first thing to be done at the present time was to prevent anarchy and to suppress revolt ; and that then, having done so, we ought to turn our whole attention to remedying any grievances or any evils which might exist in India. (Hear.) That stems to me the right course to pur sue. It may be, as the • hon. and galant gentleman who lias just sat down says, that there has been a sudden impression amongst the troops of high caste that there was to be an attempt to induce them to do that which was contrary to their religion ; but I do not think that that alone was the cause of the revolt. I think it will be found that the movement was not so sudden. I should rather conclude from the steps which Lord Canning has taken in arresting one of the native prig - x.B that his opinion was somewhat different. I should rather think that there has been a general con spiracy to overturn the British in India and that as one of the means of effecting that object, the conspirators endeavoured to inspire a belief amongst our troops that their religion was to be insulted, aid that they them selves were to be defiled by the cartridges they would be,required to use. (Rear, hear.) The right hen. gen- General Sir DE L. EVANS observed that he did not express any confidence in Delhi being taken. Mr. DISRA.ELI thought it much better they should have an impression that Delhi should not fall easily. It was prudent to believe that in the present campaign they should do nothing, and in effect Nov. would be the commencement of the second campaign. Now, what he wished to impress on the house was that everthing de pended on that second campaign. All Europe, all Asia, would be watching their Efforts. If their efforts were adequate at the commencement of Nov. the opportunity would be at their command. If their efforts were ade quate they might save their empire, and establish it with renewed force and vigour. But if they got into a third campaign, if they did nothing decisive and definite be fore then, they would find other characters on the stage with whom they would have to deal. The noble lord said the business of a minister was not to under rate danger, but at the eamo time not to take an ex aggerated view of thing.. That was one of those platitudes that could not be contradicted. He (Nlr. Disraeli) maintained It was the duty of the Minister to make himself thoroughly master of the subject with which he had to deal, and to form a sound opinion on what he beard. This country had once be fore been despoiled of a rich inheritance, our eropiro had been shaken, and surely in the past they might see some vision of the future if they were to be governed by a Minister who underrated danger. The other night they passed a resolution that they would rally round the Crown on the present occasion. What good did a reso lution of that kind effect +I A resolution formed alter due deliberation, founded on ample knowledge of the subject, doubtless offered moral support to a Ministry and strengthened the throne. But a resolution, the creature •f perplexity and ignorance, did no good to a Ministry, and added no stability to the throne. It did harm, because it imposed on the country an idea that the House of Commons was doing something, when, in fact, it was doing nothing. At the commencement of our American troubles there never was a disaster but there was a member of Parliament to come forward with a resolution to support the throne. A resolution of the House of Commons, unlese it were the expression of au assembly which thoroughly understood what it was about, would only mislead the nation. That was the position in which they were placed at the present moment. There was not in that hou se o r i n the country gener a lly a due sense of the gravity of the emergency. He heard with great pleasure fro tt the right lion, gentleman just fnroowm the tha por, talarge b o dy o f irregular troops would enter he was jaub and a ss i s t us i n our campa i gn .

(Iresr.) I When grain was dr - awn by the Commissariat from Govern agree with the right hon. g , n+:l"ernan, that while the govern ment showed too great a dispos:tion with regard to China to magnify every in mit, with regard to India it shows too great a disposition to underrate the danger. I think that if that pruceeds from a p,licy, the policy is a mistaken one; because the more the people of this coun.ry are convinced of the reality of the danger the more ready will they be to make those sacrifices they may be called upon to make. There is ono point which has been mentioned this evening with regard to whieh we have had no explanation----it is with respect to the financial efforts that will be necessary. It is obvious, from all the accounts which have lotion re ceived from India, that, except at Calcutta, wherever there has been any treasure collected it has been &Azad. It is obvious, also, that, with respect to the taxes, there will be the greatest irregularities, and in many cases there will be a total suspension of their payment. We are in the habit, w hen troops are sent out, of saying, as a sort of consola tion, Oh, the troops are going to India; they will be charged to the East India Company, and the Consolidated Fund will bo relieved of the burden of maintaining them." (Hear.) In ordinary times that might be a consideration, but at the present moment I think it would be more pa triotic to look at the subject as pertaining to the empire, to view it as a whole; and for the Government to profess their readiness— perhaps they have already done so--to come to the aid of the East India Company in any effort v determine on mak'-- ment stores it was charged for, not at nominal rates, but at the rates of the day as indicated by the price current of the place where it was drawn. The Government was debited in the military department and credited in the revenue department, as happens daily in Eng land and in every other well-regulated State where trans fers of the kind take place between different depart ments under the Crown. The Commissariat accounts of the period must be in existence, as must else the price currents of the several military stations at Scinde at which such transfers took place. A reference to these will show that the imputation contained in the return on the go vernment of the late Sir C. Napier in Scinde as to this point has no foundation whatever." Nothing could be more explicit than that statement, and yet he had been told by the hon. member for Guildford that it was upon Colonel Rathbone's evidence he relied to support the charge against Sir C. Napier. The statement of Colonel EMl:bone which was referred to stated that " the collector was in the position of a wholesale corn mer chant, and acted precisely as one in the trade would do." That was quite tree, but the revenue was raised by Sir C. Napier only in the same manner in which it had been pre viously levied. He introduced great improvements, but it was his duty, corn being the revenue of the country, to sell it at the highest price that could be obtained for it. In that particular year, however, there was from several may (Elear, hear.) not rh t ei s nv e ee e nr y h i no o f w t ah t ig l 3 l o e cvoe o ur i nn e I mt i r n ye a. n. r t y payments slhtuius ldm noosti b liawecar e l:e3P i i u t:oll' t r' e t''g ; Yi)h r p U t! : °n ) t t h e sia : lll t'''' b ltl y ande t til h amo : troops or the civil servants remain ing unpaid, stores running short, or any of those great operations which are necessary to carry on operations fail ing in any respect.

(Hear, hear ) It would be a ques tion for Parliament to determine hereafter what part of the expense should be borne by the country and what part by the East India Company. But at present there aro seri ous dangers which we ought to meet with the means that aro necessary, whether it bo by ships, by troops, or by money, No part of this d a nger ought to be overlooked ; no means ought e do t n o o b t e t n h e i g n l k ec t t h e a d t wuhri.chrlai Disraeli li necessaryverycorrectly to meet that danger. (Hoar, hear.) With respect to our situation iunndEeurrsoptooCi the answer made by Lord Palmerston. I did not understand the noble lord to say that ha entirely relied on the present tranquillity of Europe, and the ami cable dispositions of all the powers towards us, but that even if any power in Europe was hostilely disposed towards us (and I thought it a very just obearvation) they would probably reflect , that if they offended us, though the retort might not be immediate, this country had the strength to punish any insult that, might be offered to it, and that they would probably find themselves the sufferers if they pur sued such a course. (Cheers ) But Ido hope that in the midst of all these great affairs the Government will not again allow diplomatic squabbles to interfere with the great interests of the empire. It was agreed at Paris last yoar—whether it was a wise proposition or not I will not now inquire—that a divan should be assembled in Mol davia to represent , the wishes of the Principalities as to their form of government. Well, our only object was this: I would eay, lot those wishes be fairly asceitained. If there is any doubt about the irregularity of the notice, let us not put ourselves forward to countenance or cover fraudulent elections • let us agree with the other powers of Europa in wishing ehose elections to bo as free and as fairly carried out as possible.

(Hear, hear.) Provided we do not unnecessarily—not for any interest of this country, but merely to satisfy the pride or vanity of some of our ag ents abroad—(cheers)—under- take and support a quarrel in which this country and the government of this country has really nothing to do, and is certainly uninterested in the result, I certainly am not apprehensive, with the strength and the prestige of this equally ready, tw; when country, of any European quarrel arising out of this matter. (Hear, hear.) lam sure this question of India is one of sufficient magnitude to occupy the whole of the attention of the Government. The House of Commons has shown that it, is ready t I believe that the house the proper time comes, to investigate any grievances or evils of which the people cf India may have reason oohm wo s i i i i i pp be ert e t q h u e plain. These 180 millions of people have called up us for the utmost of good government and justice. (Hear.) We have no right to attempt to govern them, unless we govern them with justice and for their benefit. (Hear.) I believe that such is the disposition of this house. I believe that this unhappy revolt will producs no indisposi tion to investigate grievances ; and I trust that if any well founded grievance is proved to exist, the house will be unanimou s i n see king to apply a remedy. (Cheers.) Mr. DISRAELI—The noble lord has attrfbuted to me some words which I never used. He says that I call d this a just and a righteous revolt, and that I endeavoured to impress upon the house that conviction . I never used those words, and I never attempted to induce the house to adopt that opinion. My opinion is that this i 3 a foul re hellion—not a just revolt. (Hear, hear.) But Ido not believe that foul rebellions occur without causes; and I endeavoured to trace the cause s which had lel to this rebellion. Lord J. RITS'SELL—I referred to the words which the right hon. gentleman used about the criminal course par sued by the Government of India; but Jam glad to bare brorgllt from him the admission that he does not consider this a just and righteous revolt.

The SPEAKER having risen to put the questioe that he should leave the chair, ulation of th causes great pressure upon the pop _ et the province, and Sir C. Napier of I all in his power to alleviate their sufferings by sweeping away all monopoly and permitting the introduction of corn at a nominal rate of duty. Sciudo was the only province of India where no duty on salt was imposed. Mr. WILLOUGHBY was not prep-red to enter into this subject, and regretted that the Chairman of the East India Company was not in his place. The words of the minute to which the hon. member referred wore taken ver batim from the annual report of the Bombay Government in 1855. Sir C. Napier was not responsible for the system which he found in force in connection with the revenue, though he might be for the way in which the revenue was afterwards realised. In connection with the subject he would read an extract from the minute of Sir G. Clerk, dated April 24, 1848, which appeared in a voluminous blue-book on the affairs of Scinda, published in 1851, in order to show the evils that existed : " The Government share of grain having been realised and stored, the collector brings forward or withholds por tions of the stock in hand, according to the temper of the market, prospects of the season, &c. Should the number of troops in the district render it probable that the demand will be large, or should appearances tend to show that the succeeding crop will be short, he withholds ; and when the scarcity does come his grain is issued in quantities so small as to prevent any fall from a glut in the market. If his information leads him to suppose that the existing prices will remain stationary or decrease ho sells." Then came the words quoted by the hon. member, as used by Captain Rathbone " The collector is in the position of a wholesale corn merchant, and acts precisely as one of the trade would.' The opposite statement shows the extent to which whole sale prices varied under this system, even in the same year and in the same collectorate." General CODRINGTON said the house had heard the charges against Sir Charles Napier, and he would bo glad to see the answer to them. (Hear, hear.) The hon. mem ber who had just spoken had repeated the charges ; and it was but fair to the memory of Sir Charles Napier that his answer should he produced. (Rear, hear.) Mr. ROEBUCK, in order that the house might know the real value of the statement which ha 1 been read to it, begged to read the following note which his hon. friend the member for Merthyr Tydvill had received from Colonel Rathbone "My dear Mr. Bruce,--I have just received your note, in which you inform me that Mr. Mangles intends to justify the statement as to the sale of grain to the Commis sariat at fictitious prices, by the authority o f Si r G eorge Clerk, who, he says, quotes me as his authority. "In reply, I would merely observe that he no doubt has the authority of Sir George Clerk for the statement, be cause it forms one of the charges ag .inst the Scinde Go vernment, contained in that tissue of falsehoods called Sir George Clerk's Scinde Minute ; but which, in fact, was drawn up for his signature by his then revenue secretary, Mr. Goldsmidt. " But, though Sir George has been thus unhappily made to father official falsehoods, I am sure he is quite incapable of giving birth to any, and therefore it is impossible that he could have given me as his authority for so gross a mis statement." (hear.) He agreed with what had fallen from the gallant general. The memory of Sir C. Napier was a thing that belonged to the British people, and they ought not to allow his reputation to be frittered away by the base calumnies of base people. (Hear.) There were always a cat of ver min ready to prey on the memories of great men. (Rear.) If over there was a man who did groat service to his coun try and who exhibited a spirit of gentleness, and power, and humanity, and wisdom, that went almost before his time, that man was Sir C. Napier. (Hear.) He fought the battles of England against greater odds than ever had been found even in India, and by his masterly movements and his great skill as a general he won for himself and for us a renown till then unknowr. (Hear.) The country he conquered he governed with the skill with which he had gained it ; and when he left that country the people looked on their conqueror as a friend, and attended him down the river, paying him a homage which was due only to hisjus tice and humanity. (Bear.) Though they knew full well he had, by his capacity and courage, wrung from them their country and conferred it on England, yet, notwith standing what he had done, so thoroughly were they per suaded of his justice and humanity, that they attended him down the river, and bade him a farewell such as men only pay to their great benefactors, showing that Sir C. Napier 's capacity as a ruler was as groat as he had shown in the character of a soldier. (Rear.) We now know the full value of Sir C. Napier. He asked any man to road his life as drawn tey his brother, and, looking at what bad just occurred, to say whether it did not almost seem as if he possessed the gift of prophecy. (Rear.) Every word he had told them with reference to India had been ful filled, and had his warnings been attended to it would not have fallen to the lot of the Chairman of the East India Company to say that what had happened had come like a thunderbolt on the Government of India. (LTear.) If they had taken the warnings of this wise and farbeeing man they would have foreseen the mischief, and guarded against it. (Haar.) But there was that in the minds of the home Government—there was thAt in the minds of the Govern- meet of India--that led theni to hate this great m.m. (Hear) They hated him bees.un he was a great man— (hear) —for he towered above them, and showed by the comparison their inferiority to himself. (Hear.) Mr. D. SEYMOUR' could say with certainty that Sir G. Clerk never put his name to a document the truth of which he did not believe an l into which he had not himself in- mired. Sir G. Clerk fully inquired into this subject, and it was a mistake to suppose that either he or the Bombay Government wished to depreciate the merits of Sir Charles Napier. He concurred in what the bon. and learned gen lemau had said as to the supereminent merits of Sir C. Napier. The paragraph in the return to which objection was taken had been alcidentally inserted there, and he di i not believe it was done with any intention of disparag- • - ,ng the character of_the eminent mar to whom it alluded. 'Mr. BUTT thought the house should give some expres sion of its opinion on the que Lion before them. A charge had been made against Sir Charles Napier in a return made to that house, and surely they were entitled to know the reply made to it. Sir Charles Napier himself, on dis covering by accident the nature of the charge made against him, replied to it in words that had been published, and therefore) there exist. l a complete documentary answer to the accusation. (Hear, hear.) It was said that this answer was lost, but as the hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Willoughby) had reiterated the charge, some effort ought to be made for the production of th answer to it. He would suggest that the hop urable member for Merthyr Tydvil (Mr. Bruce), who said that he had seen a copy of it, should send that copy-to xhe President of the Board of Control in a private letter, desiring him to ask the Court of Directors whether it was a true copy, and that then the whole correspondence should be laid on the table of the house. (Hear, hear.) That would be an indirect mode, certainly, of getting the document ; but the respect due to the memory of so valuable a public servant as Sir C. Napier, demanded that it should be produced even in an indirect manner. (Hear, hear.) The house then went into Committee of Supply on the miscellaneous estimates. SUPPLY. On the vote of 27,8101. iorPlnTilico Improvements, Mr. WILLIAMS said it was time to put a stop to the expense incurradin the purchase of houses around Buck ingham Palace. The house ha I alrea ly voted 70,0001. for this purpose, and now they called for another large sum. Sir B. HALL said his hon. friend could not have read the paper which was laid on the table of the house, and which gave an account of the proceedings connected with this vote. Its object was to carry out the provisions of an Act'bf Parliament which was passed in 1853. Mr. WILLIAMS said that the expenditure of the pre sent year was most exorbitant. The civil service expen diture, which was 2,000,0001. under the Duke of Welling ton's administration, was now 7,465,0001.; and in the present year there was an increase of 741,0001. over the expenditure of last year. It was time to put a check to this extravagance on the part of the Government. After a few words from Sir H. VERNEY, Lord J. MANNERS supported the vote. Mr. W. WILLIAMS opposed it on the ground that it was a vote nut for Pimlico Improvements, bat for improv ing the vicinity of Buckingham Palace. Colonel KNOX supported the vote. Mr. D. NICOLL objected to such a vote at a period when so much money was required to re-conquer India, and intimated that he should divide against it. A call was made for a division, but none took place, and the vote was agreed to. On the vote of 80,0001. for the purchase of the site of the proposed new public offices, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that that amount was necessary to carry out the object of the 18th and 19th Victoria, under which the notices for the purchase of the land for two new offices had already been served. In reply to Mr. HENLEY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that before anything definitive was done in the way of building, the plans would be submitted to the house, and a further sum of money asked for. All that was wanted now was the means of acquiring the land. Mr. W. WILLIAMS thought that an estimate should be given of the contemplate) outlay after the ground had been cleared. Agreed to. 7,5001. was voted for the erection of new buildings in connection with the Rgistry-office in Edinburgh. THE MILITIA. On the vote of 200,0001. for the expensa of embodying the militia, Sir J. TRELAWNY wished for explanation of the delay which had occurred with regard to the settlement of the accounts of the militia—a delay which had in many instances caused great inconvenience. In the case of ono regiment, the accounts for the quarter ending the 30th of June, 1855, were outstanding at the beginnning of this year. One consequence of such delay was that the pay masters had to pay an additional amount to the guarantee societies. Another point requiring explanation was the long period which had often elapsed between the issuing of the warrants for the embodying of militia regiments and their actual embodiment. In one case, the regiment hav ing been called out ou the 17th of Nevernber, 1851, it was not embodied till the 18th January, 1855 ; the result being that an expense of 2,000/. was incurred without any ser vice having been performed. Sir J. RAMSDEN said the cause of the delay in making up the accounts was that the work thrown.on the depart ment during the war was so enormous that though the number of clerks was considerably increased, it was never theless quite impossible to keep pace with the amount of work required. He thought the hon. b art. was mistaken in supposing that any additional expense was thrown on the paymasters by the delay. He believed the Guarantee Society remained liable after the regiment had been dis embodied, without the payment being continued. As regarded the money paid previous to actual service, it was not possible for the Government to prevent that, because it took place under an old act ; but in the bill which his noble friend at the heal of the War Department had introduced in another place, and which would soon be before that house, there was a clause to the effect that the militia should not bo entitled to any pay between the period of issuing the warrant for embodiment and the period of actual service. Colonel KNOX knew many instances in which great in convenience had arisen from the want of promptitude with regard to the accounts. Mr. RIDLEY hoped the noble lord would take into his serious consideration the best method of lodging the militia after they were embodied. Colonel NORTH wished to know whether any decision had been came to by the Government with regard to the memorial presented by the surgeons of the militia staff complaining that their remuneration was very inadequate. Sir J. RAMSDEN said that the subjects referred to in the memorial had been fully investigated. With respect to the surgeons' allowance in the militia it was not thought advisable to increase it; but in all cases where medical assistance was necessary, it was wished to give the militia surgeon a preference over the civil practitioner. The sub ject had been referred to the Commander-in-Chief, bnt his answer had not as yet been received. With respect to the billeting sytem, it was the intention of the authorities to dispense with it as much as possible, because they deemed it a great bar to the efficient ;discipline of the soldier. (Hear.) Mr. ADAMS complained of the difference in the allow ance of line and militia surgeons for the examination of recruits, the former getting Is. and the latter only half-a crown for each. He saw no reason why such a distinction should be made. Colonel GILPIN considered that the militia surgeons had been liberally treated by the Government. Sir J. RAMSDEN said that with regard to the case of the militia surgeons, their position should be considered ; on the whole, it was one now much coveted, for in addi tion to the actual allowances, it gave an introduction to private practice, and the Government did not intend to make any change. The vote was then agreed to. 450,000/. for the disembodied militia. Mr. WILLIAMS wished to know on what principle this estimate was framed. In 1855 a vote was taken of 3,813,000/. for 136,000 militia ; it appeared from a subse quent return that only 62,400 , were actually embodied, yet the expenditure was 2,930,8841. If the whole number had been raised the expenditure would have exceeded the estimate by nearly two millions, and it showed that the militia was a more expensive force than the standing army. Lord C. HAMILTON wished to know whether the hon. gentleman had taken into account the number of men sup plied to the army by the militia, whose bounty was de frayed out of the militia estimate. Mr. WILLIAMS said the total expenditure on that head was only 161,0001. Sir J. BOLLER wished to know whether the Govern ment would take into consideration the case of the rifle and other volunteer corps raised daring the war? They got no assistance from Government, not even a supply of ammu nition for practice, and if some help was not afforded theta the colonels would find it difficult to keep them up. He suggested that they should be allowed ammunition for practice, and pee day when so engaged. Sir J. RAMSDEN remarked that these corps were vo lunteer corps, and when they wore raised it was understood that they should not cost anything to the public. Thera was no intention of altering that arrangement. 1 he vote was then agreed to. On the next vote, 32,000/. for the Ordnance survey in Scotland, Sir D. NORREYS inquired whether the noble lord had agreed to the appointment of a commission, as recom mended by the Lords, and if so, on what teries, and whe ther the scale was to be uniform for the whole kingdom. He also inquired whether there was any system in con templation for the registration of title and the transfer of land, and recommended that if there was, it should be re ferred to the commission. He likwiso wished to know whether if any change in the scale should be recommended the house would have an opportunity of expressing an opinion upon it ? Lord PALMERSTON stated that the appointment of the commission was not intended to override the decision of the House of Commons. The commission would inquire and report, but that report would by no means involve a decision. There would be no change in the scale without an opportunity being afforded to the house to consider the matter. When the commission was issued the names of the commissioners a dl a copy of the instructions on which they would be required to act would be laid before the house. In reply to Mr. LOCKE, Sir J. RAMSDEN said this estimate was merely to conclude work already begun, not to commence the moving of any fresh ground. The vote was agreed to, and the announcement was re ceived with loud cheers, it being the last vote in the esti mates. The report of the votes agreed to on the previous day was then brought up and agreed to. Parochial Schoolmasters (Scotland)' Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. Pimlico Improvements Bill was road a third time and passed. Police (Scotland) Bill was read a third time and passed. REFORYIATORY SCHOOLS BILL. The Lord's amendments to this bill were considered, and some of them having been disagreed to, a committee was appointed to confer with the Lords on the subject. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. PROBATES AND LETTBIL RS E OF ADMINISTRATION L. The adjourned debate on the consideration of thie bill was then resumed. Mr. ROEBUCK said that if Leeds was entitled to ho constituted a district, Sheffield was equ a lly entitled t o th e sa me privilege. In his opinion the West Riding ought constitute only one district, and the court ought to b e h e ll at Wakefield , but as the West Riding was to be divided, h o s ubmitted that Sheffield ought to be mad e a separa t e ' district as well as Leed,. Mr. 13EBCROFT said the registry at Leeds would be most convenient - for a large and irnpevtent ahtdot, eLid ought to be the registry fur the northern district of the West Riding. After some discussion, in the course of which Mr. Vance and Lord Goderich supported the registry being at :Leeds; a - A Sir Clia,rles Wood and Mr. Hadfield advocated its being at Wakefield, The amendment was negatived without a division. Mr. CLAY then proposed to substitute Hull for York as the place of registry for the East Riding ; but after a short discussion the schedule was agreed to as it stood. Mr. BERESFORD moved that the two divisions of the • county of Essex be added to the schedule as one district b for the purposes of registration under the bill, and that the town of Chelmsford be the place of district registry. The house divided-- Fur the motion Against it .... 9 55 Majority —l6 Mr. FIA.DFIELD (for Mr. DILLWYN) moved after " counties of Cardigan, Carmarthen, and Pembroke," to insert " . with the deaneries of East and West Gower, in the county of Glamorgan ;" and after " counties Glamorgan," to insert " with the exception of the deaneries of East and West Gower." Agreed to. Sir J. EAST moved to insert "and Isle of Wight,' after the word Southampton. Agreed to. The third roading of the bill was fix ,, cl for this day. CROWDED DWELLINGS PREVENTION BILL. On the motion for the second rea ling, Mr. AYRTON asked whether it wag decent to bring forward at two o'clock a bill to put all the dwellings of the poor under the control of the police ? The measure was perfectly monstrous; and he moved that it be read a second time that day three months. Mr. COWPER said the hon. gentleman naisunderatood the bill. Its object was merely to stop a flaw in the Lodging House Act. The measure was badly worded, but it Should be corrected in committee. The bill was read a seconi time, on the understanding that it should be committed this day, pro forma, in order to introduce the proposed amendments. CEIARITY TRUSTS CONTINUANCE BILL. The bill was read a first time. The house aljourned at 2) minutes to three o'clock. BAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. ----.4, - EASTERN COUNTIES.
