HOUSE OF COMMONS—',This Day.) into the extent and nature of these frauds—an elaborate document, which is in the heeds of the directors—the total amount of shares fraudulently issued appears to have been 3,446 ordinary shares at 51., representing 17,2301,. and 2,161 preference shares, representing 10,7931., thus showing in the aggregate an increase of only 1371 . on thesum named in the preliminary report of Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co. The mode in which Robson perpetrated these frauds has had the effect of already adding to the ordinary an I preference share capital the respective amounts above stated, and which could not now be disposed of, ex cept by buying back the shares, and cancelling the over issue, an operation for which the directors have neither the means nor the requisite powers. Under these circum stances there appears to be no alternative but to leave these amounts to stand against the capital. DULWICH WOOD.-- The directors are glad to announce that all technical difficulties with regard to the sub-letting of the Dulwich Wood pry perty are at last removed, and they hope soon to be able to announce snch arrangements as may cause this property to cease being a burthen on the finances of the company, and at the same time become an attraction and accommodation to visitors to the Palace. The meeting was proceeding when we went to press. From the tone of the meeting it is doubtful whether the report will be received and adopted. We shall give the result in our last edition. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. ,Commissioner Evans.) IN RE ROBSON. -THE CRYSTAL PALACE FRAUDR. A meeting was held this day under the estate of this bankrupt, to investigate the accounts between the bank rupt and Mr. E. T. Smith. The SPEIXER tor)k the chair At twelve o'clock.

Mr. WYLD said it was his intention at six o'clock this evening, to call attention to the circumstances connected with this petition. The petitioners had libelled himself and his constituents, and the forms of the house prevented bim from appealing to aoy other tribunal. He bhonld wove that certain documents be placed in V:e bands of the law authorities, and that certain individuals ehould be called to the bar of the house. SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY (GREENWICH JUNCTION TO DARTFORD). On the consideration of the report of the committee on this bill, Lord A. PAGER moved that the bill be read a third Mr. Monk, the solicitor to the assignees, compared the vouchers with the accounts, and said he was per fectly satisfied as to their accuracy. Mr. Johnson, the cfficial assignee, said that he bad checked the account°. He expressed his regret that the illness of Mr. Smith had prevented the documents being produced before, as they would have perfectly cleared up any doubts, and Mr. Smith need net have been troubled. There was a small balance against Mr. Smith, who would give his cheque at once for the amount. The case only occupied a few minutes. (Before Mr. Commissioner Foublanque ) IN BE CAMERON -PALMERSTON SAUCE. time. Sir E. DEERING said he felt very much dissatisfied with the result of the deliberation of the committee, and he should therefore move that the bill be read a third time that day three months. FREESTUN supported the third reading of the bill, as the committee had resolved that the pre amble had been proved. Mr. B. OSBORNE strongly opposed the further pro,!res , i of the bill. Mr. RICH said the committee bad declared in favour of this line, and the bill ought therefore to be read a third time. He complained that the opposi tion to the bill was an attempt, on the part of an opposing railway, to see how much they could screw out of the South-Eastern Railway. Sir B. BRIDGES opposed the bill. Sir B. HALL said the better course to pursue was to postpone the further consideration of the bill until next year. Each of the railway companies said it would be for the benefit of the public that their respec tive lines should be made, and, under these cir cumstances, if the course he suggested was followed, the two schemes could then be fully considered, and the one which was proved to he the most beneficial to the public adopted. He should vote for the postponement of the bill. Mr. BENTINCK said there had lately been a dread. fpl railway accident, and this circumstance afforded additional argument for the postponement of the bill. Mr. GILPIN said that if the present bill had been passed and the time laid down the accident could not or would not have happened. Mr. HOPE should vote for the third reading of the bill. He could not sanction a measure intended to reduce the income of the South-Eastern Railway. Colonel FRENCH—In discussion on private bills it was generally understood that Ministsra did not inter fere, yet the house bad been addressed by two members of the Government, the hon. baronet the member for M irylebone and the hon, member for Dover. The latter hon. member might, as he represented Dover, have some reason for interfering, but not so in the other instance. He should support the third reading. Sir J. V. SHELLEY, considering the part of the metropolis the right hon. Bart represented, he had more right to interfere in this discussion than the hon. gen tleman, the member for Roscommon. He should vote for the postponement of the thinl reading of the bill. After a short discussion, in which Mr. Watkins, Mr. T. Duncombe, Mr. Cobbett, and the Earl of March, the bill was ordered to be read a third time without a division. The Pimlico Improvement and the Public Offices Extension bills were read a second time. FINSBURY PARK BILL. To-day way appointed for the last examination of this bankrupt, who had carried on business as an Export Oil Merchant, in Camomile-street, and is the inventor of the celebrated "Palmerston Sauce," the rale of which is said to considerably increase the amount of the divi dend. The debts are about 2,000/., and present assets about 7001. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the bankrupt who passed without opposition. - - - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ---- 4. TATTER SALL'S-MONDAY.

(This Day. SOUTHWARK. CHELMSFORD HANDICAP. 3to 1 agst Renown (taken) EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF FELONY AGAINST A CLERK OF A PARISH OFFICIAL. —John Newman, a very respectable-looking young man, of good connexions, and who holds a situation as clerk to one of the leading parish officials of St. George's, Southwark, was placed in the dock, charged with stealing a silver watch from the person of Thomas Seymour, under very extraordi nary circumstances. Mr. Solomon appeared for the accused. The prosecutor, a brick and tile-maker, stated that on Sunday night, about 9 o'clock, he arrived at the London bridge Terminus with some friends, and proceeded with them to the London-bridge Tavern opposite, to partake of some refreshments. While there he saw that his watch was perfectly safe in his waistcoat pocket., and a guard chain attached round his neck. Suddenly he felt a tug at his watch, and on looking down he saw his chain hanging loosely down, and his watch was gone. There were several persons near him at the time, and a rush out of the house, when some one called out, "The thief has run across theroad." Witness went over towards St. Saviour's Church-yard, and saw the prisoner in the custody of a constable who had his watch. On cross examination by Mr. Solomon, witness said that he had not had anything to drink before he lost his watch. , In fact, he had not time to order it, the robbery was com mitted so quick. Daniel Flynn Sullivan, police•constable, 102 M, said that he was on duty near the London-bridge terminus at a quarter past nine on Sunday night, when he saw the prisoner leaving Walker's stout-house in a hurried manner with a coat hanging on one arm. He ran across the road, followed by several persons who called out " Stop thief." Witness crossed over towards St. Saviour's Church, when a man came up and charged the prisoner with stealing his watch. The prisoner said "He was a respectable young man, and the party had better mind what he said." • Witness told him he was charged with felony, and he must search him, when he distinctly saw him drop the watch from under his coat. Witness picked it up, and took him to the station-house. On cross-examination by Mr. Solomon, witness said he was positive that the prisoner dropped the watch, and at the same time he attempted t 3 get towards the steps leading to the Borough Market. Mr. Solomon—Did he not say that he had just picked the watch up ? Constable—He did not, sir. All he said was, "I am a respectable young man ; mind what you are doing." Magistrate—Did he say anything after you took him into custody ? Constable—He made no reply, sir. The magistrate said that the evidence was such that he must send the case before a jury unless the prisoner chose to plead before him. If he preferred the latter he must plead guilty. Mr. Solomon said be was instructed to say that his client did not steal• the watch. The magistrate told him if such was the case he should send him before a jury for trial. Mr. Solomon, atter consulting with his client, said he had no wish to go to the sessions. He would plead guilty and throw himself upon the mercy of the court. He understood he was a respectable young man, and had a first-rate character for honesty and sobriety. The son of his master here stepped forward and spoke highly as to his general character, having been employed in a con fidential situation for three months. Mr. Pugh, a chemist in the Borough-rOad, also gave him an excellent cha racter, he having employed him for some time in at tending to his accounts in the evening. His family were also highly respectable people. The magistrate (Mr. Combe) said it was ono of those cases which could hardly be accounted for, and com mitted in such a style which made it appear to him that the prisoner must have received instructions from expert members of the swell mob, - who commit similar robberies with the Into of a coat ou the arm to cover their actions. His having a good character made the crime more heinous on his part, and he (Air. Combe) should not be doing his duty unless he sentenced him to a very severe punishment. The sentence of the court was that he be imprisoned in the House of Correction for three months, with hard labour, and he now left that Court as a con victed thief.

Admiral ROllB states, in his treatise on " The Law and Practice of Racing," that "the steward's decision is final on all points of racing, but his authority doe) not extend to disputes on bets." The case of the Members's Plate was'brought before the committee at Tattersall's, and in the course of the after noon the following notice was posted : "The committee are of opinion that the stewards of Newcastle had no power or authority tc declare the bets cif on the Members' Plate. (Signed) The adjourned debate on this bill was then resumed. Mr. COX said the vote of the house on the previous occasion when the subject was under discussion was accepted by the Board of Works, as a denial of a Government grant to the park. Mr. WILLIAMS withdrew his amendment and the bill was read a second time. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY (IRELAND) " EXMOUTH. 11. J. Rous. G. PAYNE. C. GREVILLE." The error committed by the stewards in causing the "deciding heat" to be run after the last race appointed for the day, was also loudly condemned ; for if the start was invalid the race should have been run as near to the proper time as possible. Of course bets are determined by the " last heat," and as people who backed Logie o' Buchan and others who did not put in an appearance the second time, are in doubt whether they can be called upon to pay. We subjoin the Jockey Club rule (40) which bears upon the question : "When the riders of any horses brought out to run for any race are called upon by the persons appointed to start them to take their places for that purpose, the owner of every horse which comes up to the post sha►l be considered as liable to pay his whole stake, and all bets respec'ang such horses shall be considered as pay or play bets." EARLY BIRD.—Thi9 horse broke his leg whilst at exer cise on Friday morning last. He was galloping at the time and in the act of changing his leg, when he struck them with such violence as to cause the accident men tioned. WORCESTER RACES.—We are requested to state that the races on Thursday will not commence until half-past two. This arrangement will enable those turfites who assist at the Chelmsford meeting to reach Worcester by the morning express train in ample time to see the race. The prisoner, who seemed deeply to feel his situation, was then removed by the gaoler. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. VIOLENT ASSAULT BY A FRENCUMAN AND A FRENCH FEMALE.—Joseph Louis, Waher Marshall, and Adele Blanc, natives of France, were charged with violently assaulting police-constable C 53, and also with creating a disturbance at the Devonshire Arms, Queen-street, Golden-square, and breaking a pane of glass in the house. Mr. Bell, landlord of the Devonshire Arms, said that between five and six o'clock last night, the male pri soners came to the house in a cab. When thdy entered they immediately assaulted a man in front of the bar. Complainant got Marshall out of the house. A police man was called in who laid hold of Louis and took him out. While he was passing a door, be broke a pane of glass. The prisoners were eventually lodged in the sta tion-house. _ _ Mr. Beadon—What did the female prisoner do ? Complainant—She followed the men into the house and assaulted them. She acted like a fury. Mr. Albert, interpreter of the court, explained the charge to the prisoners. He stated that the female pri soner admitted they were drank and did not know what they were doing. C 53, who took the prisoners into custody, said that when he seized hold of Lewis he was knocked down by him. He got up, when both the pTisoners rushed at him, and they both assaulted him. He was knocked down, and while on the ground was severely kicked by them. The female assisted them and scratched his face. Two " Civilians " came to his' assistance, and who took the prisoners away. The prisoners were severally fined 405., or, in default of payment, one month each in the House of Cor rection. M. Albert said that tae fines would be paid. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS,—(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took hie seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. The Bishop of CHICHESTER presented a petition from the clergy of his dioctse against the Divorce Bill. The Bishop of OXFORD presented a similar petition from the clergy and deanery of Maidenhead. The Earl of ALBEMARLE postponed the presenta tion of the petition from the King pf Oude, from Friday next until a future day. THE MUTINY IN INDIA. The Earl of ALBEMARLE gave notice that in con sequence of the news from India he should postpone the presentation of the petition from the King and Royal Family of Oude, which he had intended to present on Friday next. The Earl of ELLENBOR,OUGH—My lords, the disastrous news which ha i just been received from India, and which far surpasses my forebodings, serious as these forebodings were, induces me to put another question to the noble earl with respect to the measures which the Government may intend to take for the purpose of averting the great calamity which threatens us in India. It is now 20 days since I put to the noble earl this ques tion—whether instructions had been sent, er would forthwith be sent to India, directing the Government of India to make known at every station of the army in that country that the Government would for the future, as in the past, protect all its subjects in the undis turbed exercise of their religion. In reply to that question the noble earl intimated an opinion that the Government of India had. acted judi ciously in issuing no proclamation of that character. Now I field by the news received this morning that not only the Lieutenant• Governor of Agra but the Governor in Council of India issued a:proclamation in the strongest terms of the tenour I have described. But, my lords, upon what day was that proclamation issued ? On the 16th cf May, when the mutiny at Meerut was known, when the occurrences and mutiny at Delhi were known, and when the proclamation of the King of Delhi was known. Now the issuing of that proclamation at that moment might possibly tend to prevent the spread of the mutiny, but it could have no possible effect in pre venting the outbreak. My lords, the Government had ample notice in India of the danger that was impending. As long ago as the 22d of January an incendiary fire broke out in cantonments at a short distance from Cal cutta—a thing almost entirely unknown and unheard of. From that period, for more than three months, these indications of the dissatisfaction of the troops continued to appear at all the principal stations of the army. The cause was perfectly well known, and arose from an apprehension on the part of the troops that their religion was to be interfered with. On the 25th of February the 19th Regiment mutinied. It was not till the 31st of March that this regiment was disbanded. On the 6th of March the Government sent to Rangoon for the 84th Regiment, and so deluded was it as to the ex tent of the ill-feeliug and the mutinous disposition of the native army, and the effect of the disbandment of the 19th Regiment, that in a few days after that disband ment it was considered advisable and was actually under discussion whether that regiment should not be sent back to Rangoon. They have now sent for three Queen's regiments to protect the capital of the country. These indications of a bad spirit among the troops occurred at Allahabad, Agra, Meerut, Umballah, and all the great stations. No one can doubt that there was combination and that one general feeling ani mated the whole. NEw, it is a matter deeply to be regretted that events, especially in India, should so greatly depend upon the personal character of the indi vidual. On the 31 of May Sir H. Lawrence, a distin guished and decided officer, having reason to expect that there would be an outbreak on the part of the 7th Native Oude Infantry, moved at the fall of night two naive regiments, her Majesty's 32d Regiment, and a battery of artillery upon them. He came upon them unawares. disarmed the regiment, and made them prisoners. Sir H. Lawrence took the initiative. But what was the case at Meerut At Meerut the mut:neers took the initiative. They rose at 6 p.m., and, according to the accounts we have received, it was not until nightfall that her Majesty's Carabineers were able to move. If Gen. Gillespie at Arcot had not moved his Dragoons to 'Vel lore with more promptitude the mutiny at Vellore might have spread through the whole of the Madras territory, and produced effects as dangerous as those which have now occurred. And who was the officer in command in Meerut I How did it happen that with a Queen's regi ment of infantry, another of cavalry, and au overwhelm ing force of Horse and Foot Artillery, the mutineers yet escaped without injury to Debi, and made a march of 30 or 40 miles F His name, it is said, is Hewitt. I do not find that ho has at any time served with troops at all. He is an unknown man. There may be difficul ties, and there no doubt are, in making proper appoint ments in the army in consequence of the system of se niority which prevails. But that system has been of late overruled, and the Government have now autho rity to appoint the men whom they think most fitted for a particular post. They ought, I contend, to have I acted upon that authority. No Government is justified in placing in a most important command a man of whom the troops know nothing, and with whose quali fications they themselves are unacquainted. We see what has been th'e consequence of taking a contrary course. Give me now leave to ask where was the Com mander-in-Chief upon this occasion ? Why was not he in the midst of his troops ? He must have been aware of all the diffieulties which were growing up. He must have known the dangers by which he wati beset. He did know that those dangers existed, for upon the 9th of April he assembled the troops at Umballah, and addressed them in the most sensible terms endeavouring to undeceive them and to bring about among them a right feeling. He, however, went to the Hills, leaving the dangers to which I refer behind him in the plain. Such is not the conduct which a man occu• pying the position of Commander-in-Chief ought to have pursued. Let us for a moment look to the position in which he now stands. From ale I have learnt I believe the measures which have been taken by the Government of India from the moment they beard of the occupation of Delhi have been prompt and judicious. I have no fault to find with their conduct since that period, but I do find fault with them for having been blind to that which ought to have been obvious to all, and for having taken no pre cautions before this dreadful calamity took place. Well, what is the position of General Anson ? He had with him two European regiments of cavalry, two European regiments of infantry, an ample supply of artillery, two regiments of Ghoorkas ; but I am afraid ho cannot absolutely rely upon any of the other native troops by whom he was accompanied. If, with that force, however, independent of the three other native corps, General Anson were to meet the mutineers in the field, he may beat them, though they should be of double his numbers, without much difficulty. But there are two enemies besides the mutineers with whom he will have to contend, of whom the people of this country make no account, but which are foes infinitely more dangerous than the mutineers—l allude to the climate of India at the season at which these occurrences took place, and to the total want of carriage. When the regiments go into the cantonments the carriages are dis missed, and it would therefore be almost impossible for General Anson to move the European troops. The only resource open to him consists -in impressing the men in the bills. He may by that means bring down 3,000 or 4,000 persons to carry burdens, but to obtain the means of conveyance for the troops for a distance of 80 or 100 miles I believe he would find to be impossible. Just consider for a moment what is the nature of the season. It is the most severe of the whole year. It is just the concluding period of the hot weather, during which hot winds prevail. It is a time at which no European would venture into the sun, and when no officer would think of forcing a solder to go into the open air if he could possibly avoid doing so. The late Sir C. Napier was compelled by circumstances to go into the field at a sea son such as that I have described. The consequence was that 45 Europeans were struck down by the heat, Sir C. Napier being the only one of them who survived. Such is the danger with which we have to contend. But I will assume that General Anson has beesn enabled to bring his troops up to Delhi. If he has done that, he ought I think by this time to be in possession of it, not owing to any vigorous attack of artillery, but by the most simple of all means—namely, taking possession of the canal by which Delhi is supplied with water, and cutting off the water so as to deprive the iehabitants of all supply. Towards the conclusion of the dry season there is but a very small quantity of water in that canal, and the people of Delhi, amounting to the number of 60,000 or 70,000, are, as a consequence, invariably re duced to great difficulties, and are compelled to re sort to the Jumna to procure the water which they re quire. To obviate that inconvenience I established a large tank in front of the Palace of Delhi, containing a sufficient quantity of water to supply the inhabitants of the town for a period of three weeks. I regret, however, to be obliged to say that the Government in India, ac tuated by that spirit which has characterised them since I left it—a spirit which has led them to desire to obli terate all trace of my having ever existed in that cotin try—have allowed the tank to which I allude to go to ruin, and I believe that fortunately at this moment it will not furnish the inhabitants with a supply of water for any time, so that if the canal were cut off as I have suggested, and their access to the Jumna prevented, they would be precluded from obtaining wat er altogether. That is my only hope in the present emergency n India. Observe what will happen. I left police battalions to India. They were formed for the purpose of enabling th Go vernment, in case of necessity, to move all the troops from any particular spot. Lord Hardinge was, owing to the establishment of those police, enabled to move three battalions of infantry during the war in the Punjab, a step which, under other circumstances, he would not have been in a position to take. Now, General Anson has no such police battalions at his dis posal. They have, I understand, been abolished, and he must leave a sufficient force at the different canton*. ments at Meerut and Umballah, or they will be burnt down behind him. It is no easy matter to protect a t line of cantonments extending over seven mi les , but if hat is not done the consequence, as I have said will be that those places will be burnt down and the Europeans will have no place to afford them shelter. That is what I apprehend, and there can be no doubt that General An son's position would then be one of the most serious character. But it is not only in Meerut and Delhi, but in BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. Clauses 153 up to 160 were agreed to. Upon clause 161 being proposed, Mr. BLAND moved an amendment, to the effect that in cases of bankruptcy no action should be commenced against a shareholder in a company without leave of the court. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland raid the amendment was a very important one, and such being the case he suggested striking out of the clause altoge ther. If the clause was struck out he would at a future stage of the bill bring up a clause which would meet the views of the honourable member. It would go to the extent of securing, during the proceed ings in bankruptcy, both the property and person of the bankrupt. Clause 161 was accordingly struck out. [LEFT BITTING CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY. MEETING THIS DAY. ,The yearly meeting of the sharehol len in this under taking was held this afternoon at the Bridge-house Hotel, London Bridge. Mr. Henderson, the chairman of the directors, presiding. The following report of the directors was read by the society : The total revenue of the company during the last year was 115,927/. 6.. M., and the expenses 87,8711. 19s. ld. showing a profit of 27,755/. 7s. 7d. on the year's opera tions. A large amount, upwards of 11,0"101., has been spent in the maintenance of the fabric. This has chiefly oc curred in connection with the floors and roofs of the pa lace, the former of which were much decayed from their having been in contact with the earth of the flower beds ; an .I the latter, from their nature and extent, required time before settling to their places, during which constant supervision and expense have been necessary. The floors have been thoroughly repaired throughout, id such a man ner as to prevent a recurrence of the decay, and the roofs of the great transept and of the other parts of the build ing have also been refitted, arid put into a state of perfect repair and efficiency, and are now stronger and better than at any former period. A considerable outlay has been also incurred in the department of the external gardens —works rendered necessary from the fact that a consi derable portion of the lower part of the park Lad hitherto been in an unfiished state ; the whole has now been laid out and planted, and walks carried round the whole of the gardens, thus adding very considerably to their extent and attraction. In addi tion, an extensive cricket-ground has been formed, which will, undoubtedly, become a source of revenue in future years. As the whole of these works are now completed, no further outlay on this head is likely to be acquired. The directors are deeply impressed with the great importance of reducing the expense under all heads to the lowest possible limit ; but still they believe that the real interests of the shareholders are best consulted by maintaining the palace and park at the highest state of efficiency and perfection, and, acting on this principle, they have felt that they had no alternative out to sanction such outlay as was necessary to attain this object. There had been a largo expenditure under the head of fetes arising from the cost of extraordi nary attractions for temporary purposes, such as for the opera coucerts, flower shows, poultry shows, peace festival, &e. ; but as on a careful analysis it is found that all these have not only repaid the sums expended on them, but have left a considerable profit, this outlay has been practically beneficial to the company. The arrangements made with Mr. Gye for the present year aro of a nature considerably more favourably to the company than those of last season, and as the opera concerts contiuue to prove attractive the directors trust that the result will be as sa tisfactory as it was last year. The poultry show was en experiment which proved highly successful, not withstaud ing its novelty and the season of the year at which it took place, and it is confidently expected that shows of a similar nature will in future become not only a source of attraction to the public, but also of revenue to the com pany. The directors refer with pleasure to the augmen tation in the gross receipts of the company, every branch of which shows an increase. Lae total number of visitors to the palace daring the twelve months has been 1,412,922, against 1,352,113 in the previous twelve months, and the amount received for admissions, exclusive of sea son tickets, is 70,5441. 18 3 . against 61,1111. 12s. 2d. In the exhibiting department is also a satisfactory in crease in the total amount realised, and by the operation of economy on the one hand, and increased receipts on the other, a net profit has been obtained of nearly 6,000/. for the last year, against very little more than 3,000/. in the preceding twelve months, while the building is now more occupied both in the selling and non-selling departments, than at any former period since the opening. Arfange ments have been entered into with various parties, which the directors hope wili further increase this branch of re venue during the current twelve months.

I regret to say that I fear we cannot at the present moment with any degree of security rely on the fidelity of any of the regular regiments of the Bengal army. The ir regular troops ,will, I trust, remain faithful, and I hope we also may depend upon the artillery, although it is said that some have been seduced or threatened into a junction with the mutineers at Delhi. I nevertheless ti ust that we may rely on the fidelity of the artillery. I believe we may place implicit confidence in that of the Ghoorka regiments, as well as in the good faith of the native princes whose territories approach Delhi. In fact, we possess in the neighbourhood of that city but a very small extent of territory. It chiefly belongato the native princes. Our position, then, is such as I have described. The Government have drawn troops to Bengal, as it seems to me, very prudently and very properly, but in doing so • they have left both Madras and Bombay almost defence. less. We know not the danger to which such a state of things may give rise. In short, my lords, we are really-- and I trust her Majesty's Ministers are alive to the full extent of the danger—we are rea:ly in a position in which it becomes necessary for us to use every effort which this country can make to maintain--perhaps it may be to re cever—that great empire which we have acquired in the East. (Hear.) Well, let me ask how do we stand ! We have at this moment upon our hands three wars in Asia. Those wars we are reduced to the necessity of prosecuting with a reduced peace establishment. We have sent to China that naval force which shouli, in my opinion, be left upon the shores of England, to give se curity to this country even under the auspices of the meet profound peace. The whole of that naval force, however, hasbeen despatched to the waters of China ; and for what ?—to carry on a contest between Sir J. Bowring and Commissioner Yeh. (Cheers.) Six bat talions of troops have been sent out there for the same purpose, and I cannot help thinking that those six bat talions will be found insufficient to bring under our con trol the numerous population of Canton. Tee conse quence will be that we shall find ourselves under the necessity of sending out further reinforcements, which should have consisted, in my humble Judgment, of native troops. But are we, with India in danger, to fight the battle of the Government ? (Hear, hear.) Are we, my lords, determined, happen what may, to persevere in that fatal policy which her Majesty's Ministers have adopted Are we to strain every nerve to enable Sir J. Bowring to seize upon the residence of Commissioner Yeh I hope not. I main tain that, if the war with China were as sound in prin ciple as I believe it to be the contrary, comet m sense and the dictates of the simplest policy ought to have induced the Government to remain for a time on the defensive, and not at once to involve the country in two wars contrary to all the principles by which the proceed ings of a military State ought to be directed. I have spoken of three wars, my lords, but my noble friend the Secretary for Foreign Affairs will probably tell me that we have brought one of them to a close. He will say that the war with Persia has been concluded. The noble earl, it is true, has brought about a treaty with that country. He has not as yet got a peace. (Hear.) The treaty is one which I cannot help regarding as unsatis factory. No, my lords, I cannot deem it satisfactory that we should have entered into such terms with the King of Persia as that treaty contains after the insults which he heaped upon the British Minister. (Hear.) We have, however, entered into that to aty, but even under better auspices than the present we should experience great difficulty in carrying it into execution. Persia may withdraw her troopefrom Herat, but that will be of little avail unless some other Government be estab lished there. If Persia will not yield it up upon those terms, the evident objects of the treaty will be almost entirely defeated. The noble earl must be aware that the British force now remaining in Persia is tot ally un able to boll Bushire and Mohammerah if there should be the slightest chance of any attempt at opposition on the part of Persia, and can anyone who ivacquainted with the national character of native States for a moment doubt that this tereat calamity in India may have a very material in fluence in changing the policy of the Court of Persia T (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Our position in India at the present moment is that of being compelled, not only by a sense of interest, but by our sense of honour as a nation as well as of individuals, to protect our empire in that country. It is as much the duty of the Government to protect our empire in India as it would be to protect the county of Kent, if attacked ; and I trust that there will never exist in tbis country a feeling that, under any possible circumstances, that noble em pire shall be abandoned. We millet therefore send to India a sufficiency of force, but while doing so we must consider in what position we leave ourselves. I fear that, under present circumstances, the noble earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs would feel his hand paralysed if any material force should be despatched to the East. How, under such circumstances, would he be able to speak with ordinary firmness and dignity; or could he avoid temporising if he felt that England was powerless to defend herself in case any foreign Power should choose e ta take the opportunity of attacking her! (Hear.) Even before this calamity occurred I entertained a distinct opinion that by reduced establishments we were leav ing this country in a state in which it ought not to be as regarded its power of defence. We have now, however, a new war upon our hands, which will require an expenditure approaching that which was necessary for the contest in the Crimea, and which will require, in addition to the force which iris now proposed to send to India, an additional force of at least 10 regi ments of infantry, three regiments of cavalry, with their horse, for it will not be possible to horse them in India, and at least six batteries of artillery, 'because at present . in some provinces the artillery force is very small, and no troops can possibly move without glans. When I look to these circumstances, I am brought to consider ho w it can be expected that any material increase can be made in the military force of this country. I would re commend her Majesty's Government to look the danger fairly in the face—not to take any exaggerated view of the case, but at the same time not to attempt to deceive themselves, and I think that the course they ought to adopt is to place this country under arms. (Hear, hear.) While we are fighting battles of such interest in the East we must be secure at home, and I know of no mode of suddenly obtaining that security but to adopt the same means as those which were adopted during the Crimean war—namely, to embody the militia. (Hear.) That . step should be taken at the earliest period possible, as well as that of calling together the yeomanry, which has never before, since 1814, been allowed to go for a year without exercise, and *e should adopt any other mea sures which the Government may consider necessary for placing at their disposal the whole military force of the empire. (Hear.) I have read in history that HyderAli, the great rival of the British power in Deccan, used to say, with regard to the British power, that he was not afraid of what he did see, but of what he did not see ; and it is for us now to show to the natives of India that which they have not yet seen. We must come forward with increased strength upon every point, and teach them that to contend successfully against us in the field is a thing impossible. (Hear.) I wish, therefore, to ask the noble earl what are the measures which the Go vernment intend to adopt for reinfoicing the troops in India, and at the same time for placing us at home in security while we cope with that great empire. (Loud cheers.) Earl GRANVILLE— The noble earl has taken a very large view of a subject which is unquestionably of great importance—of so much importance, indeed, that I should feel myself to be almost trifling with your lord ships were I on the present occasion to attempt to go seriatim through all the events which have been lately going on in India. I may say, ho ever, that with re gard to the disbanding of the 34th Regiment, it appears to me quite clear that a short delay was wise and judi cious, when that delay gave an opportunity for com manding such a European force as might prevent what would have been a most severe disaster. It appears alto to me that on the information which we have received it may be thought that some mismanagement may have been shown at Meerut, but I am quite sure that it is wiser—l will not say for individuals of your lordships' house, but it is wiser and fairer for the Government to give no opinion whatever upon the subject until the whole of the facts of the case have been placed before them. I quite agree with the praise which the noble earl has bestowed upon Sir H. Lawrence, and admit the complete success which attended the movements which he made, and without doubt a decided and ener getic course of action may often solve a difficulty of that description. The great difficulty, however, in dealing with disaffection among the native troops lathe difficulty which arises from not knowing to what extent it has reached, and where it is likely to break out ; and I may inform your lordehips that up to the last moment the most confident assurances as to the loyalty and good feeling of those troops was received by her Majesty's Government from the colonels of those regiments. The noble earl has praised the steps which have been taken since the juncture arrived, but I regret that be thought it his duty to follow up that ( xpression of praise by a tsthaotreimve,nwt coming i w li, hicp,fe ar,crea t e unnecessary ala rm . The' from a person of his high aa. forces which be mentioned as being gathered together by General Anson will be met by the English troops com ing from Meerut ; they will also be met by the troops of the native princes; who have shown a most cordial and praiseworthy desire of co-operating with the British troops, and I thick that this is a very important circum stance not only from the material advantage of their as sistance, but also as showing ti e opinion which prev ails in India as to t he res ult of such a c onteet, I thought also that the noble earl somewhat exaggerated the amount of discontent which exists in two of the presi dencies. (Hear.) Even in Bengal, where no doubt the spirit of disaffection prevails the most, some regiments have remained faithful to their colours, and have shown their loyalty by operating against their disaffected com rades. Now, with regard to the movements of General Anson, I do not like to place against that of my opinion n the noble ea r l, b u t I know th e o p inion of Lord Cannin g .

The noble earl, my lords, has asked me two questions ' • and the first one, with regard to what reinforcements her Majesty's Government in tended to send out to India, I can answer in a few words. Before the arrival of the late news 10,000 men, consist ing of four regiments and of reinforcements for Euro pean regiments, whether belonging to the Queen's ser vice or the Company's service already in India, aod since the arrival of that news, after communication with the Court of Directors, four more regiments have been placed under orders to embark.
