THE GOVERNORS-GENERALS OF INDIA. —At
Rename, on the 7th ult., Lord Elgin dined with 100 gentle- ti
men. He cited hie Americas experiences of cheap railways,
and urged their introduction into India. Hie allusion to '
his two predecessors, who successively presided no similar
occasions at the opening or extension of the line, was sad :
" Both of these distinguished men were my contemners-
rim ; both, I believe I may without presumption ear, my
intimate friends. It is a singular coincidence that three
successive Governors-General of India should have stood
towards each other in this relationship of age and inti-
macy. One consequence is that the burden of governing
India has devolved upon us respectively at differeat periods i
of our lives. Lord Dalhousie, when named to the govern- I
mint of India, was, I believe, the youngest man who had ever
been appointed to a situation of such high responsibility and
trust ; Lord Canning was in the prime of life ; and I, if I
am not already on the decline, am at least nearer to the
verge of it than either of my contemporaries who have pre-
ceded me. Indeed when I wee leaving England for India,
Lord Ellenborough. who is now, alas ! the only surviving I
ex-Governor-Geoetal of Lydia, said to me, ' Yon are not a
very old men, but depend urn it you will lind yourself by
far the oldest man in India. Bo that, if I have no other t
claim to your consideration. I have at least that which rests 1 li
on the somewhat questionable plea of seniority."
