It appears from an answer given by Sir Charles
Wood to • question by Colonel Sykes that the
removal at the business of the India-offlos to the
West-end has been fully decided upon. Sir C.
Wood descants upon the inconvenience occasioned to
the public service (perhaps he means to the public
oervanta) by the present arrangement, but does not
explain how he to obviate the great incon-
venience which the removal of the India-office seems
likely to cause to the mercantile interest connected
with India. One objection, it is true, Sir
Charles Wood disposes of briefly enough : "As
t. India Stock" (by which the Old India Stock is
doubtless meant), "a considerable portion of the
business might with advantage be transferred to the
Bank of England." I. Sir Charles Wood prepared
at the sane time to transfer to the Bank of Eng-
land the business connected with the native Indian
loans, inolading the issuing of the drafts for inte-
rest f If so, the holders will be grateful, for a pres-
tige attaches to dividends drawn at the Bank of
England. This is a point of the more importance,
became the policy of the Indian government dur-
ing the last two or three years has been directed to the
diffusion of their securities in this country. There
then remains the question of the business transacted
at the India-offiee by the influential East India
agency houses bankers, and others, many of whom
are authorised to receive dividends, pay, and pen-
sions. Again, when a merchant wishes to purchase
the bills of the tlesectil of India is he to send to the
West-end ? Some of the persons interested appear
to be of opinion that delegates appointed at a public
meeting might procure from government more ex-
planatory. attention than is accorded to • casual
question in the House of Commons. The interests
affected are important.
