MAST MIA COMPANY.

Sir W. HAWLiNtiON, in the course of his Speech at
the Causes of Proprietors yesterday, nbeeried that thou wee

the crows sad the Company wee neefoi4l.? • •••°BlO
plitneage. Now he earnedly meted, for the ham ar of
imam saner that that menthe treestios of Wrong,
would um effect the deristou of • case in which was bivalved
the waters of 140,000.v00 of human beings. He said
cy..ltw eput 111.1 t the MON dissgramble por-
nom •( dee daty of • rfireets we the Maladies el
; sad he should inaitaly profile that films
was ao such thing as privets patronage, and that
all appilatmento were to be mode on rabbet grimada,
while a certain number of Votes were reserved
for ter children of slicer, who had lived sod died is the
sarvico. He would not ay that there ebould in
evilly CYO be a competitive exemination . but ha said
that he wined le sew stern Swale Petrov ‘fre abolished.
There we. smother telytion of great imPoraDoe, the Pa-
tronage of the arsy. He combined the initial to
be at comparadvely small moment. Under any farm d go.
rament the officers of the army of India would be re-
cruited, ea they were at resent, from the middle deem of
England, Lut as regarded Ibe upper classes% there was great
dryer of abuse; than was great danger that whet ha-
pallet appointments hod to be med., on,ers who had
mined all thew line is litho would be superseded by m-
adams from Ennead. If that were the case, the NNW, of
the Indian army would certainly sugar. He hoped, there-
fore, that that part of the eutroct would be thoroughly dis-
eased in Pm liftmen, anti that some precautionary mea-
sures would be adopted ea a security ohm.
'lbis d.ng,v was not s constitutional one, tot
me that threatened the liberties of this country, bat
in elation to the future cottlitioa of the Indian army it
darter) the gravest consideration. Then were other evil*

they w-re the evils of patty intiusace and direct parliemen•
tan mit. n brought to bear on the stairs of lade, and the
preaerre on the ministry of the day of clue inductive and
time lotted tiro. He considered these dangers of vital im-
ports& e, and he earnestly hoped that any measure which
salght be proposed I', tho rotors government of India would
inclode specific repletion, thst bead. Such evils could
only ha called late salvo operation through the chief
Innate being oath* independent cf say meracill. So

Hal that he should set, the., evil., it net en-
tirely removed would at all events be kept under

other proesedhogs were! to have • merely temporery

fication of India as a question of paramouat importaace. He
doubted whether then would be say copse &asp. There

eapire on the payment oil of the Indium sleek in 1874. Titers
would assn be a recasting of the machinery of patronage • but
the elements to be worked upon would, as it appeared to him,
remain the same , the army would continuo to be recruited
front the riatchlle clew, and popular rights would Le re-
elected. So tar as the machinery of the home government
was evateneed, he believed tare would be an INPrONIINOt

there were sufficient mils of coals a the different stations
to supply the vessels ea their voyage; it aim
manifest that moles that was too cm seam

will, such tacts before them, and considering that the smarm
was one whes the weather was geserally fevourabls, he did
sot think either th, company or the government ware to
blame for determining to send nut • portion of the troops in
