A SPECIAL EDITION of the "EXPRESS;
containing the results of the day's Races, is pub-

limbed every evening during the Sporting Season, at
six o'clock.
Loan STANLEY ill right. " The Resolutions, as
ii " prepared and discussed, have answered the purpose
4 ; " for which they were brought forward." They
hays enabled Ministers to ascertain, not what kind
• of Government is best calculated to promote the
interests of India, and to perpetuate our empire
there ; but what kind of Bill is most likely to pan
the House of Commons. The sole aim of our Par.
liamentary leaders in the Indian debates has bees
to out.general each other. Lord PALMERSTON
I thought that by laying a Bill on the table of the
House of Commons he was certain to induce i
majority to rally round it. Lord JOHN Erwin.]
thought that, by persuading the House a
Commons to go into Committee of the Whole
the i lead in Indian legislation would apps
realty be transferred to him. Ministers hav,
Lint by—have noted the indicatioos of thi
Matey of the House which have transpired darini
the debater-and have patched up a measure salcu
lated to ensure the support of a majority. The mem
P hers on both aides, as Mr. Sewer remarked, are sal

ii • faring under the heat of the season and the odours c
the river, and are glad (deny decent pretext to get rii
of the interminable Indian discussion. And hence i
comes that, amid hilarious laughter, the Hen ego es
to the proposal that an Indian Bill shall be Ins
; .
I dietely introduced, and read a second time at Than
day next. How the Bill will work is a esonary tee
aideration with the Legislature ; all that is asked it
that it shall be so framed that Honourable Member
may be able to vote for it, without exposing them
selves to a charge of inconsistency. The fate of on
Indian Empire is a trifle, not worthy of a moon
thought; all that is cared for is that members ma
escape the rage of the dog-star and the stench of d

Thames, and yet not expose themselves to clan

Mg criticism, on the score of consistency, at U
We reserve our criticism on the India Bi
No. 3, antil we have it in our hands. 131
thus much we must say respecting the print
pie which we are told it is to embody :—lt
a mere play upon words to say that the men
announced by Lord STANLEY recognises the clearprinciple. The Royal Boroughs of Scotland a
tell, from the experience of more than a center
how the system of a governing body electing the
euccemors worked. But in Scotland the Ton
Councils really sleeted their 1111000110YEL In t
proposed Indian Council this will not
the case. In the firm place, the Crown
that is the Minister of the day—ia to nos
nate eight members oat of fifteen. The 1
stunning seven are to be elected by the prim
I) Court of Directors, in which six members out
i 4 • eighteen are Crown nominees, and a tolerable p
portion of the remaining twelve very obedient s
vants of any Ministers that may be In office for I
time being. What then is likely to be the result
V future partial elections with a view to fill up vas
• cies? At each election there will be among I
electors eight Crown nominees and se•
equivocal elected members. At each el
tion there will be from the beginning
4 i ;
majority of Crown nominees. Nor is this all. '1
i ' vacancies will be filled up alternately by nomi
tion and election. The proportion of nominated
I elected members in the Council will be steadily
creasing. The really elected members will, it
course of a few years, be eliminated from the Conn
It is almost hopeles• to press such considered

peals of laughter which filled up every panes
1 yesterday's debate show how little impression
actual state of affairs in India has made on
House of Commons. The frivolity—the Syba;
111 1 ' care for personal comfort—the utter disregard of
menacing aspect of Indian affairs—betrayed by
eagerness with which they welcomed Lord Sr
. .
Lay's opening of a back door through which tl
might sneak out of an embarrassing Indian disc
, sioo—is a lamentable spectacle. Our legislal
! i i make themselves comfortable while India is resole
into anarchy.

Once' those whom function it is to make

I any satisfactory reason d priori why the ordin
penalties attached to indebtedness in this on
till country should be evaded by Members of I

liement ? People may take different views s
the expediency of keeping up the law of Ansel
Debt I but, as long as it is kept up, can any 1
seam be assigned why it should not apply to
Representatives as well as to the Representa
the Peer as well as to the Commoner? In them

gest, arguments for the main ten anos of this exempt
which is strongly tainted with the spirit of the
when a certain lofty contempt for mercantile p
tuality was regarded as an attribute of high 1
and gentle breeding. In practice, however, t
might be some difficulty and inconvenience in
entire and unconditional abolition of the privilal
ifreedom from arrest for debt which km so long'
i enjoyed by members of both Houses. Even is

tionable infirmities on members of the Leg
