tonished hero. For what is the proposal, but
to place 180,000,000 of people under the al-
most absolute dominion of one man 1

The phrase " responsibility " sounds well ;
but it implies " power." A man is responsible
for his exercise of power. Now, is it wise, is
it English, to say to one man, " Take you
those 180,000,000 of men, and govern them ;
but mind, if you do any wrong, Parliament
will look after you"? Practically, too, would
not this be an enormous blunder? Properly
to conduct the affairs of a great empire, you
require steadiness of hand. Heretofore, for
a century past, the Government of India has
not been influenced by the party politics of
England. The Board of Directors contained
boat Whigs and Tories ; and a change of
Ministry made little difference in the course
of government. But now it is proposed, for
the first time, to make , the Government of
India fluctuating and moveable. A Lord
ELLENBOROINiIi may be the autocrat in 1858,
a Lord CLANRICARDE in 1859 ; and if the ad-
vent of the " great Liberal party " should soon
occur, we might have Mr. ROEBUCK or Mr.
COBDEN for the sole ruler of India in 1860!
Is a country 12,000 miles off likely to be go-
verned well, if its Governor and its system of
government are liable to be changed with every
change of the English Cabinet ?
The first and predominant feeling, with
every prudent and sensible man, in touching
this Indian question, is a feeling of awe and.
of fear. So momentous are the interests at

stake, that nothing can be imagined more
unreasonable or blameable than rash or hasty
legislation. And this feeling, rightly carried
out, would lead to great caution, and to a
determination to introduce change gradually.
Such a feeling, no doubt, prompted tke idea
which has been talked of in some quarters, of
merely uniting the Board of Directors with
the Board of Control—bringing both together

in one large room at Whitehall, instead of
keeping them apart, and so carrying on the
farce of " a double Government.') This
scheme of a union or fusion always appeared
to us to have much of common sense about it;
and one thing which recommends the present
Bill to our minds is, that it is in some respects
a similar proposal. One of the most hostile
criticisms on the measure runs thus :

" It does not get rid of the East India Com-
pany, inasmuch as the proprietors of India
Stock are still to be ' a power' in Indian
affairs. It does not get rid of the element of
Old Indians' from whom all real reformers
despair of receiving any useful contribution in
aid of India Reform; It does not get rid of
the eighteen gentlemen in Leadenhall-street,
whose hopeless incompatency is now patent to
all the world. It does not abolish that juggle
by which the Minister for India in the House
of Commons had a divided responsibility with
the Court of Directors ; in short, it is just that
kind of a measure which, if accepted and
passed, affords a positive proof that no change

LONDON,' SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1858:

"A RESPONSIBLE MINISTER FOR

INDIA."

Ma. BRIGHT, and those who think with him,
represented by one London journal, boldly
declare that, though Liberals, they prefer
Lord PALMERSTON'S India Bill to that of the
present Government; and mainly for this
reason, that "it sweeps away the present
system," and gives us " a Secretary of State,
" accepting and exercising a complete respon-
" sibility, under the control of the Imperial
" Parliament." They object to the present
Bill mainly because " it continues the present
system," with a few insignificant alterations.
We have long ceased to feel surprise at any
Liberal fancies or caprices, and, least of all,
at Liberal flirtations with Absolutism ; but
certainly such a notion of the best way of go-
verning India, coming from a Liberal, is
enough to take away one's breath.
England has many magnificent colonies,
some of them containing one, two, or three
millions of people. There were continual
complaints of misgovernment in former times ;
but latterly we have hit upon the expedient
of allowing each colony to govern itself. Our
Secretary of State, therefore, becomes a mere
administrator, appointing a few officers, car-
rying on correspondence, and keeping up a
show of Government. A common language,
family connections, and large trading concerns,
are the real ties which keep England and Aus-
tralia together. But now we come to a totally
different case. Instead of 180,000 people, or
1300,000, who enjoy representative govern-
ment and make their own laws, we have to
deal with 180,000,000, who cannot govern
themselves, and who have, for a long series of
years, been governed by a small Council of
" Directors," meeting in Leadenhall-atreet, and
overlooked by an officer of the Crown, sitting
in Westminster.. This separate action is ab-
surd and inconvenient, and various plans have
been proposed for uniting these two bodies
together. Differences of opinion exist as to
the number of Directors or Councillors that
it would be best to retain, and as to the mode
of their appointment. But suddenly there
breaks in a voice from the most ultra-Liberal
quarter, which exclaims, " No Directors—no
" divided responsibility. Lct us have one
" great officer—a President, or Secretary of
" State for India—exercising a complete re•
" sponsibility, under the control of the Impe-
" rial Parliament"

As we have said, if anything from a Liberal
could surprise us, we should have been as-

INDIA.

The following telegram was received on Thursday
afternoon at the India-house, from Malta :

J. L. DICKENSON, ESQ., INDIA-HOUSE, LONDON.
LUC KNOW.

On the Bth or March the arrangements on both alas of
the Goomtee for the attack were completed.
On March the 9th Sir J. Outram turned the enemy's
first great line of defences by an enfilading tire, and the
Martiniero was stormed by the second division, under Sir
E. Lugard.
On the lath of March Sir Colin Campbell seized the
Bank House, and took up an advanced position in front
of it. Sir J. Ontram plashed forward his advances on the
left of the Goomtee, the resistance of the enemy being ob-
stinate.

On the 11th of March her Majesty's 42nd and 93rd
Highlanders stormed the Begum's Palace, and Sir J.
Outram crossed the Goomtee and occupied the buildings
in front of the Palace.
In these operations our loss was under 100 killed and
wounded. Among the killed are Gaptain Macdonald, her
Majesty's 93rd; Captain Cooper, Rifle Brigade; Captain
Moorsom, Staff.
On the 13th of March a sap was run up to the Imaum-
barrah, which is close to the walled inclosure of the
Kaiserbagh.
On the 14th of March the Imaumbarrah was stormed,
and the troops, following close on the retiring enemy,
entered the Kaiserbagh with them; the contest lasted until
three o'clock p.m., by which time Sir Colin Campbell was
in full possession of the Kaiserbagli.
On the 15th of March the enemy, after the fall of the
Kaiserbagh, having commenced their flight from the city,
Brigadier Campbell, with a brigade of cavalry and horse
artillery, was despatched iu pursuit. Sir Hope Grant also
advanced to Seetapoor, on the direct road to Rohilcund,
with 1,000 sabres, to intercept the fugitives who might be
forced in that direction by Brigmlier Campbell.
Up to the lath of March the euetny still occupied some
parts of Lucknow, iutelligea.ce of Sir C. Campbell's
reduction and oecupatio.. of the whole city is hourly
expected.

THE AMERICAN CRISIS.
THE STATESMAN is the only London
Weekly Newspaper which gives a full and accurate account
of the great struggle now waging throughout the United States
between Freedom and Despotism.
"When we compare the honest boldness of the New York
Tribune with the mysterious silence of certain *oblisant Liberal
journals in London upcn the most important question of the
present day, we cannot help thinking that there is something
else than mere editorial ignorance or idleness at the bottom
of their systematic abstinence from discussion relating to
American topics. Everybody who knows anything of the secret
history of the London press is aware that we have frequently
had Russian influence at work on former occasions, and that it
could always be most easily discovered, not by what the Rua-
sianized organ said upon any important topic, but by its dis-
creet reserve. liming, applied this rule very carefully to the
English press during the last few years, we feel no besitatlon in
saying that there is a much more powerful and subtle anti.
national American influence at work in this country than our
statesmen are aware or. The Chancellor of the Exchequercould
give some useful,adviceon this head if he were willing."—Statei:

was really desired, and that as little as pes
sible has been made."

Now, as wo dread the idea of " making a
clean sweep," and as we do not regard the
Board of Directors as a mere nuisance, it is
to us a good feature of the present measure that
it leaves much of the existing system undis-
turbed. We have wondered to ourselves, re-
peatedly, whence this sudden preference for
sole sovereignty, rather than a representative
council, could have been derived. And the
only theory we can find to account for this
strange fact is this :
There are eminent officials (one in particu.
lar), who have been concerned hitherto in the
government of India. These gentlemen, or
this gentleman, may have acquired a dislike for
the authority of a Board, and may have
fancied that they, or he, could govern India
better if left alone, with no one but a nominal
bead, a grandee, to control them. The prece-
dent of Mr. ROWLAND HILL, who rules all
things at the Post-office, with merely a Duke
or an Earl to pay him occasional visits, may
have occurred to him, and he may have as-
pired to the enormous power of, practically,
ruling an empire, almost unseen, in the name
of Lord Aor the Earl of B. It seems to us ,
that some secret mover or inspiring genius of I
this sort must be at work, promoting the cry,
"No Council,—let us have one responsible
Minister."
For this desired " responsibility to Parlia.
ment" is, in fact, as a Member of Parliament
recently said, " responsibility to ..142,blind
idiot." Parliament may be able to, exersise
some power and influence over a Hednie"fiesre-
tary or a Chancellor of the EielfeiNZ,
• '1 . •
much as probably a majority. of the'~ members
know something above hoine:geverpnient , or,

a notorious fact that a debate "on: tin..; East

sure to empty the House of Commons ; simply.

because forty-nine out of every fifty of the

EAST INDIA COMPANY.

A SPECIAL General Court of the East India Com-
pany was held on Wednesday last at the East India-
house. A recommendation from the Court of
Directors to grant to the eldest son of the late Major-
General Sir Henry Lawrence, K.C.8., an annuity of
1,000/. a year, with reversion to his younger brother
in event of the elder brother dying without heirs
male, was unanimously agreed to by the Court of
Proprietors. A report upon the Government of India
Bills was then read by the secretary. The report
entered at great length upon the details of these
bills, and, starting with the assertion that " the forms
of business are the real Constitution of India," as-
serted that, while Lord Palmerston's bill failed to
establish any "forms of business," hut left them to
be determined by the Minister, so that subsequent
Ministers might alter them at will, Lord Derby's
Bill established " forms of business," but such only
as would "effectually prevent" the Council from
being " a reality," and render it " a useless pageant;"
while again, to make the Council " a new consulta-
tive body without initiative," was a fatal inroad upon
its usefulness. Thy report, while admitting the
general superiority of Bill No. 2 over Bill No. 1, and
recognizing the "desirableness, not necessity," of
some provision for including an English element in
the Council of India, object altogether to the
qualifications imposed upon the members of Council,
and generally to the elective mode by which that
object is attained in Bill No. 2. Besides the provi-
sions for the governing body in England, the bills,
the report maintains, "contain provisions relating to
India itself, which are open to the strongest objec-
tion," and which would greatly impair the chances of
good government in India, such for instance as
transferring to the Governor-General and the
Governors of Madras and Bombay the appointment
to the Councils at Calcutta and to the other Presi-
dencies. With respect to the Royal Commission
proposed by Ministers to be sent out to India, the
report states, that the Court of Directors could not
believe that such a project roulci be persisted in. It
would be a step towards the disorganization of the
fabric of government in India. A commission from
England, independent of the local government of

POSTSCRIPT.

FRANCE.

PARTS, Thursday evening.
The telegraph brought to Paris yesterday the
Times' thunder about Suez and Perim, and a terrible
commotion was caused in the coteries who patronize
that wind-bag (or rather sandbag) the Pelusiac
canal. Austria, through its organ at Frankfort, had
already scouted the idea of making a European
qu stion of a rock at the mouth of that cal de sac,
known on maps as the Red Sea, hut unknown to
all skippers save those of the Peninsular and
Oriental Company. The Congress of Paris when it
does meet will have abundance of other questions to
settle more nearly affecting the quarter of the globe
it sits in.

Havin, editor of the Sleek, has had an interview
with the Emperor, who entered upon a free dis-
cussion as to the limits of freedom he would tolerate
in type. This journal is immeasurably the foremost
in circulation now all over France, and to wield it is,
to a certain extent, to be invested with a preponde-
rating influence on the public mind. Hence the
deference paid to its manager, who would be infal-
libly returned in lieu of Cavaignac for the Paris re-
presentation, if he wished to stand. Havin, as well
as Lamartine, are the targets against which the
Univers shoots its most venomous shafts, but both
are now shielded by the imperial aegis.

ITALY.

The Times correspondent from itom Turin has the fol-
lowing curious statement :—" One of the strongest
reasons the Lombards have for keeping away from
Court balls and receptions is, that, according to the
usage of that country, any gentleman may ask a
lady to dance without special introduction, and in
that way the Austrians would become acquainted
with them, and it would be difficult to keep them off
and exclude them from families. lam not disposed
altogether to deny the truth of assertions I have
heard made, to the effect that an apprehension of
rivalry in the good graces of the fair sex has some
little to do with the repellent mien assumed ty the
Lombards towards their Austrian fellow-subjects.
Without attributing much polish or great powers of
seduction to the common run of Austrian officers,
among them are unquestionably to be fotind very
many well bred and accomplished gentlemen, to
whose merits, if social intercourse were permitted,
the ladies of Lombardy might be less insensible than
their lords."

THE WELLESLEY POLICY.

GOVERNMENT•HOUSE, Calcutta, was built by the
Marquis WELLESLEY. He was ambitious to
build both a house and an empire. Houses
have traditions, and so has this. It has been
haunted by its traditions; and we should never
be surprised to hear it rumoured that the
marblA figure of the Marquis in the great
hall, like the figure in Don Giovanni, had
moved its head, with a Burleigh-like nod,
approving of the acts of successive Gover-
nors-General, who have caught the spirit of
his genius. Certainly the Marquis of DAL-
HOUSIE, during his tenancy of the house that
the Marquis WELLESLEY built, must have felt
the shade of his predecessor still abiding
there, and the traditiona of hie government

THE TRIAL of the Rev. Mr. Smith and his wife
for a felonious assault upon Mr. John Leech, of
Croydon, on the 3rd of February last, atWesterleigh,
took place at Gloucester on Tuesday last before Mr.
Baron Channell. The facts of the case must be
fresh in the memory of onr readers. Mr. Leech, who
years some ago had very intimate relations with Mrs.
Smith, who had seen nothing of her for some years,
at the close of January last sudden!) received a
letter from her, stating that she was a widow, and
expressing a desire to renew their intimacy. Mr.
Leech, nothing loth, appears to have entered into
the project rather ardently. After some further cor
respondence he left town for Bristol on the 3rd of
February, and, getting out at the platform, saw some
person very like Mr. Smith going to the waiting-
room. However, Mr. Leech met Mrs. Smith at the
station, and went on with her to l'ate. There he
and Mra. Smith got out together. It was quite
dark :

Wet had not gone I should think more than 140 verde,
when something occurred. I several times asked if she
could find her way, and she said she could as soon as she
c.itild find the hedge. When we had got about la° yards
she called out " We're lost." At that time I was feeling
for the hedge with my umbrella in front of me. I heard
another voice, a man's, say, " I am lost, too." When I
heard that I just turned my head half round, and could
see the shadlw of some one approaching. When he came
near me I received a very heavy blow on the back of my
head. I saw the man, but not his features. I saw some-
thing of rather a light colour in his hands about fifteen or
eighteen inches in length. It was as thick as my
wrist. I also received two or three blows on the front and
other parts of my bead with the same instrument. ( The
witness here exhibited several scars, one on his forehead,
sad the others on other parts of his head.) My hat got
but I don't know bow. It was not marked. The

off the police posted there. General Penny must be

Yesterday the bridges were secured, and the troops

stone bridges an hour before the attack was commenced
by Sir J. Outrage. The resistance was slight compared
with the previous day. A Glioorks division seized the
enemy's position in front of Alumbagh last night. Num-
bers of armed and unarmed men are evacuating the city
by the outlets ; they passed to the north.
Our advances to-day are gradually pushed on all sides

SIR JOHN PAHINGTON, BART., M.P., presided on
Monday, for the last time, in the Court of Quarter
Sessions of Worcestershire. The right hon. baronet
has for twenty-four years filled the office of chairman
of quarter sessions for Worcestershire. In conse-
quence of the great pressure of his other duties, he
finds it impossible longer to hold the office, and at the
meeting of the court he gave in his resignation. In
his remarks he said that his resolution had not
sprung from his recent acceptance of office, be
having for some time decided to resign at the Easter
sessions of 1859, when he would have completed
twenty-five years of service. The appointment to
the office he now held, faithfully to discharge which
would tax all his strength, had, therefore, only led
him to antedate the carrying out of a prior resolve.
The resignation was expected by the court, but for
all that it was received with regret, and a committee
appointed to draw up a resolution expressive of the
gratitude felt by the court and the county for the
services of Sir John, with a view to formally placing
the resolution on the minutes of the court. Lord
Ward will probably succeed the right hon. baronet,
the election taking place at the ensuing Midsummer
sessions.

THE PRINCE CONSORT has accepted an invitation
to be present at the annual meetings of the High-
land and Agricultural Society of Scotland, which are

RUSSIA.
A report lately presented to the Emperor Alex-

tire to landed property and serfs in Russia .—The
number of families who are landowners amount to
127,000. Out of these 2,000 possess from 1,000 to
10,000 serfs ; 2.000 from 500 to 1,000 ; 18,000 from
100 to 500 ; 30,000 from 21 to 100 ; and 75,000 have
less than 21. The total number of peasant serfs of
the nobility amounts to 11,760,000, acd those of the
Crown to 9,000,000. There are therefore 20,750,000
persons anxiously waiting for an improvement in
their condition.

THE CASE OF SIMON BERNARD.
OPENING OF THE SPECIAL COMMISSION AT THE
CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Lord Campbell attended yesterday at the Cen-
tral Criminal Court, for the purpose of opening the
special commission which has been nominated to
inquire into the charges preferred against Simon
Bernard, who has been committed for trial by Mr.
Jardine, the police magistrate at .131 w-street, as being
an accomplice in the conspiracy of Orsini, Pierri, and
others, to assassinate the Emperor of the French.
In his address to the grand jury, after detailing the
principal facts in the case against Bernard, which
are now well known to the public, Lord Campbell
proceeded as follows :

Gentlemen,—Having heard and considered all the
evidence which will be laid before you on the pert of the
prosecution, you must form your own opinion as to its
sufficiency to justify the primi•faoie inference of compli•
city, or guilty knowledge of the plot, on the part of the
accused. That he should really have believed (as be
Wove) that the grenades were connected with a new die.

through which it passed were crowded, and the
station at Gravesend was thronged with ladies and
gentlemen. The route to the pier was densely
thronged, and her Majesty was everywhere received
with the most enthusiastic demonstrations of wel-
come, which appeared to gratify her extremely. At
the pier, in deference to what is generally understood
to be the wish of her Majesty when within walls,
there was only one great cheer given on her alighting
outside. After that, and while inside the pier, the
greeting was strictly limited to waving hats and
handkerchiefs and profound obeisances.
Her Majesty was received by the troops with the
usual royal honours as she alighted—precisely at
half-past nine o'clock. Mr. Troughton, the mayor,

lIIETIIING MORE ABOUT WEEDON.

we however do know,— that ruined men often
make disclosures ruinous to others.
