addin; of upwind@ of 1,000.0001. to the Treasury. As an
engineer be might mention that ono of the most wonder-
ful features of India was that water communicatiou could
be made from the Himalayas to Cape Cowrie, and, in
fact, the whole country could be traversed with
steamboat canal navigation. He Insisted, in con-
clusion, upon some action upon the Indian
question from the Boglish public. Only think of the
Secretary of State being so allowed to trifle with the in-
terests of a meat country as to bring forward the Indian
budget five or six days before the dissolution of parliament.
It was an insult and reproach to such places as Manchester
and Birmingham that no wholesome discussion could be
obtained upon the question. (Applause.)
Mr. H. Durst SEYMOUR, M.P., said be could not help
reminding the chamber that they had it in their power to
carry out any improvements in India which they thought
really mammary. All it wanted was for them to be agreed
amongst themselves, and then they, as being the most
deeply interested in the state of the country, had
sufficient power tin parliament, through their represent*.
tires, to force upon the government any measures they
thought necessary. The subjects upon the programme were
most important as affecting the interests of India. Mem-
bers of the Indian Council had said to him that the Man-
chester people wanted not what they put down upon their
programme, but that a tax should be levied for their
benefit, and one gentleman got so excited as to say that the
chief functions of the Indian Council were to protect the
ryot from the rapacity of the Manchester people.
(Laughter.) There were, therefore, misapprehensions on
both sides. The act pumped last gremlin required revision,
for it showed that its authors where not Tot emanci-
pated from old protection theories. Sir Charles
Wood used to state that there were no waste
lands in India, but Mr. Laing said that one-third
of the whole country was waste Led. The question of the
land revenue deserved very serious attention. The laud
tax was about 50 per cent of the whole revenue. In India,
there being no permanent settlement, there was of course
no security for the land. Al long as there was simply a
lease • tenant could not lay out his money upoe permanent
improvements, which were necessary to a higher class of
cultivation and a higher clam of tenant. The redemption
of the land tax and the sale of the waste lands were
the most important things to press upon the go-
. veroment, • law of contract was also required in Lida.
He doubted whether the manufacturing districts would
determine to take action upon this subject when parliament
met, but if they did determine, he believed they could carry
reforms which would be of great service to the population
of India, as well as to people at home. If the Indian
Council.as it ought to be, was done away with, and matters
of detail left more to the Governor-General, there would
be a far more efficient government of India than had yet
existed. (Applause.)
Lord W. Hat said great astonishment had been ex-
pressed that the high prices should have had the effect of
bringing into the market an immense quantity of inferior
cotton, but to his mind that was exactly the effect
to be expected. No doubt cotton had been dragged from
every available quarter to be sent home to meet the high
prices. Government ought not to be blamed for not misting
increasing the quantity of cotton, for it had no business to
interfere with the cultivator as to what he should or should
not grow. There was something perhaps to be said in favour
of government stimulating those who wished to improve
the quality of the cotton growth in India. Even in this
country there was nothing more expensive or troublesome
than making experiments as to improvements in wicalture„
and the question of improving the quality of cotton
was a very difficult one. After all, the question of the re-
moval of taxes was a question of the superior claims of
different taxes. lf, for inst•noe, it came to a question
between removing such taxes as those which had been men-
tioned and the tax on salt, he should admit the superior claims
of the latter, which bore heavily upon the poorer classes,
in India. With regard to the question of the sale of waste
landa in fee simple, be was in favour of their being sold in
fee simple, because it would have the effect of introducing
more European settlers. It was unfortunate that up to
this time there had been no report or return showing the
amount of land which was available in India under the
head of waste land. Government was to blame for this ex-
tremely. There was a good deal to be said on both sides of
the question relating to the perpetual settlement of the
land tax, and the greatest objection to it at present seemed
to be that it would involve • great sacrifice of
revenue. He considered that rude bad a superior
claim to any other means of communication. The one
thing wanted for India was roads. and in that
word he included railways, tramroads, and roads of every
description ; and until India was provided with • complete
system of roads it would not be secure. The only chance
we had of maintaining security in India was by perfecting the
means of communication. In thermal Bbootan war nothing
bad placed u in so difficult a position as the absence of
proper communication. He remembered travelling from Cape
Comorin to dhow in • palanquin, and one of the stages,
12 miles long, cost him 41., while the price of • first class
fare from Calcutta to Delhi, about 1,150 miles, was 41. its.
He could not help thinking that Sir Arthur Cotton had
slightly exaggerated the claims of canals as compared with
roads. It was once remarked in the Times, that we wanted
canals now, not for a handfed years hence ; but hie idea was
—provide roads now, and the canals would soon follow.
(Applause.)

HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY.

legal question. They were reedy to " negotiate " with the
Canadian government or they were ready to try the legal
title with them. But this genetical must be settled in a
short time. There were 3,000,000 of American citirame
within a short distance, and although their territorial
rights bad hitherto, greatly to their credit, been scrupulously
respected by the peopled the States, the time would come
when they would settle on the territory. There was • ay
of gold in the Souttehansh; and it could hardly be expected
that the Americana would always outlaw) to respect their
rights as they had heretofore done. Unless, therefore,
this matter was settled in a very short time on a fair
a. d. beam, tbeylwould be left with as Crises question
on their hands, and they would have to Vast as • bade
where their position would be weakened tad where their
interests might be jeopardised. Now, what curse ought
they to take under thou oimumitances? They must either
make or find • purchaser for Rupert's Land, or they most
form a plan for its colonisation and settlement. Suppose
that they found •purchaser, on what basis ought they to
calculate the price? He estimated the value of the terri-
tory at 3,2010001.., and the value of the loss of their
trading profits at 1,560,0001., which would bring the prize
up to near 5,000,0001. He estimated the value of the lea
upon an average of fifteen years, and at lees than half the
price per acre for which land was sold in Minnesota. It
warn admitted on all hands that their trade would go to
wreck if they parted with the territory. 5,000,0001. seemed
a large sum of mom to uk, but it should be recollected
that they had • capital of 2,000,0001. engaged, and then
there was the value of the land and the loss of the trade.
They were willing to treat as this basis with the govern-
ment of this country or the government of Canada, and
be did cot think it was an nuressonable demand as • start-
ing point. (Applause.)
Mr. MOBRISON moved • vote of thanks to Mr. Dodds for
his able and interesting address.
Mr. MARTRIDOZ seconded the motion, and only regretted

Mr. GIERSTINBMIG moved the following resolution :
"This meeting, understanding, from various coocurrent
reports, that negotiations are going on for the sale of the
territorial rights of the Hudson's Bay Company, and that
the lands immediately evadable for settlement amount to at
least 40,000,000 sores, besides the other enormous trade of
country paused by the company, are of opinion that the
price or compensation to be accepted should be not less than
five millions sterling, being at the rate of 2a. 6d. pee assn
for the 40,000,000 acres; otherwise the company ought
themselves immediately to Garry out a plan for the maa
matio colonisation and settlement of their territory."
Mr. HAsrarron seconded the resolution, which yes
agreed to.
