INDIA.
Mr. V. Sum' inquired whether any statement '
specting the financial position of ludia would be
made during the present session, and also whether
the Government intended to explain the course they
designed to pursue with regard to the conduct of
military operations for the suppression of the still
existing revolt. As the administration of India was
about to pass from the Company to the Crown, be
recommended her Majesty's Ministers to take the
opportunity for proclaiming this transfer with fitting
solemnity throughout that empire.
Lord STANLEY said that no statement of the Indian
finances would be given to Parliament, since nothing
definite could be ascertained on that subject under
the present condition of disturbance. The transfer
of sovereignty in India would be proreulgatsid with
such formalities as the Government might deen ex-

The Neapolitan Government, which is usually
very sparing of its diplomatic publications, has
adopted another course in the affair of the Cagliari.
It has despatched a document to the various
European legations containing the English test
and Italian translation of the opinions given by the
English Crown lawyers, with comments and refuta-
