This Denim! Couscm.—Although the Indian
Council is not yet completed, in consequence of the
government nominees not having all arranged their
acceptance of office, we believe that the eight
sentlemen selected will be as nearly as possible the
following :—SII. John Lawrence, Sir James Mels;11. .
Sir Fre&rio Currie, Sir R. Vivian, Sir Henry Raw-. .
linson, Mr. J. P. Willoughby, Mr. J. Pringle, Mr., 1
G. A. Hamilton. These appointments are still sub-
ject to the acceptance of two of the members, end
may yet vary in one or two instances, but as far es
they are now known or ascertained they will pro- ~
bably stand in the order here stated. The selection
of the seven East India Direetors is already known.
It will be seen how the "Old Indian" element pre-
ponderates in the Council ; or, we might rather say,
enpylies it almost altogether.—Observer.
