sad It sash not be put into operation while there was a
mingle seem or soldier who had been enlisted undee the
11110111 by the Indian Regulation Act. The ques-
tion of rags had been alluded to, and the illustrious duke
said that in ordinary times there would be no difficulty
in sawing out the system of reliefs when the whole army
emeisted of Queen's troops ; but if instead of 000 troops
we bad 80,000 in India, we must have an additi2o,on of 30,000
to the regular army in order to furnish reliefs for that extra
10,41IXtrasa. Another queatioo of Tat importance which
nsirto have been overlooked the government was,
ha hough some officers wool select India as the
bald el their future omen, and would qualify themselves
for advancement by l the native languages and in
studying the character and habits of the natives, others
windd go out only with the intention of remaining there for
a short period, and would, therefore, not take the same in-
terest in the country sod in the welfare of the people.
Their lordships also had no information with regard to
the intestacies of the government respecting another
difficulty, namely, officering the native regiments.
In what manner did the government propose to bring up a
number of young men so as to qualify them as officers for
service in India! He had not heard how this difficulty was
to be dealt with. He could not help thinking time, when
they so multiplied the amount of British forces in India,
there would be, on the part of many persona, • great disin-
clination to enter a service in which parhape one-third of
their whole period of duty would be spent In India. He
moat express his opinion that the came they were now
adopting was one which they were pursuing without suffi-
cient ,consideration or redaction, or a perfect knowledge of
the subject. They could not foresee the results of what
they ware now doing, and they were certainly pledging
parliament to an imperfect measure. But, at the game
time, he could not shut his eyes to the fact that
this measure had received the emotion of • very
large majority in the other house, and he should
consider it • Misfortune if, after that Aron; declaration of
option, sad if, alter the expremion of opinion on the part
of the illuthisus duke on the cram benches, the matter
should be left in • state of uncertainty. Looking at the
balance of evils and the choice of difficulties, be should
shrink from the raponability of advising their lordships
to throw the prelim into uncertainty by voting for the
poetporiernent of the WI. He should prefer leaving to her
YMaajesty'sgoyernmml, who most have made out in their
own minds the mode la which they would carry out their
new system, the responsibility of the great sod dangerous
work they had to in hone, and he should therefore be

measure. (Hear, hear.)
Earl GRANVILLE, after plying•compliment to the
noble and gallant lord who had just Wrens' their lord-
ships, maid that he thought one of the peat advantages
of the abolition of the East India would be the
removal of the great anomaly of the e • of two of her
/lia*ty's armies differing in regulations mid systems. He
had not bees this to detect in any part of the speech of the
noble earl opposite (the Fail of Derby) any mower whatever
to the different point, which the noble duke, who moved
the second reading of the bill, had advanced. The noble
earl rested his objections to the measure, first, on the
ground that he thought it most important, with regard to
our European army in India, that it should be in comport-
manta, so as to ensure one portion, if necesary, acting
against another. His noble friend then dwelt upon the
unwillingness of officers of the royal army to devote them-
selves to a life in India ; sail he also entered at some length
into the question of reliefs. He thought, however,
the arguments ',of the noble earl were conclusively
met by the obserretions of the illustrious duke.
The noble earl had complained of the conduct of the go-
vernment in bringing in a simple instead of • detailed bill,
but thin point bed been very well considered, and it hod
been decided—as he thought, judiciously—to bring in •
simple measure, leaving the details to be settled afterwards.
As to the Indian Council, now that the principle was de.
cited, great advantage would no doubt be derived from the
assistance of the council in carrying out the details, for
which he believed the government had already got the
outlines of • scheme. There was one more allegation which
he wished to rebut, and that was that this measure bad
been hurried on with undue haste and precipitation. It
should be rememiserel that they had the measure prepared
by the late government, the evidence they had collected,
sad the opinions of the people of India on the various puts
of that measure. There web one part in the noble earl's
speech in which he fully concurred, and that wee his re-
quest to the noble earl on the crime benched to rejoin from
dividing the house, it being of great importance that the
measure should go forth as the unanimous decision of their
lordships.
The bill was then read a second time.

that a peat check upon traffic, not only over Melees Bridge

of the government to consider this of payment of

this vote for the eteeineine. It would be a great
nuisaoce. Here in feet was bah the bane, in the shape at

Sir J. SHELLEY supported the same view. It weaned

the en what was to be had close by, viz., water, in the
river Thames.

Mr. JOHN LOCKE said be should vote against the pro-
position of the hon. member for Truro (Mr. A. Smith) for
reduction of the vote by this trifling sum. He thought the
experiment should be tried.
Mr. COWPER said that it would cost just MI much money
to get water from the river as from a well and he thought
that if Thames water were used in the gardens, Battersea-
perk was likely to be a very disagreeable place.
The committee then divided ; and the numbers were :

those courses would be eanciliatory, and in such a course the
government would be supported by the house, so u to avoid
the end= being marked by a concession of such an igno-
character.

Lair Pefitifisrox—l had hoped that this home had
sufliciently diacussed, at all events for the present ' if
tt had not finally disposed of, that question, which
threatened to bring about a serious collision between the
two hoaxes of parliament. It is allowable, no doubt, for
those who, like the hon. gentleman, entertain veryetreng
and extreme opinions upon this matter, to take advantage
of ell fair and proper opportunities for impressing those
on the house. and that they should be
Tied into some practical 'on. But I must say that if
the hoe. gentleman does entertain the strong opinions
whisk he expressed to-night se to the consequences to the
character of the hones and to the constitution of the country
that would follow from nothing mom being done than that
which this house by a majority of 400 agreed to do, I think
it would be becoming in him to produce his opinion, and
to propose hie course of conduct at thetime when the subject
was under the consideration of the house—when the
house was full, when the event was recent and fresh in the
minds of members, and when therefore the house would
be more ready to stermins, and the country more ready to
swept, a solution them they Obi be at the present time.
(Hear,
ioe hear.) I think I have performed my duty to this
and to the country by recommendlag the course
which I connived it proper to parses, and that opinion
was confirmed by the immense ma whereby these
resolutions were sanctioned. I trust that if I thought that
messures such as the hon. gentleman has adverted to as
being adopted by minister of tonnes days were appropriate
to the oocsaion, neoesmary and prom I should not have
required the stimulus of his advice to point oat
to me the course whi* as the responsible minister of the
crown' I should have domed it proper to recommend the
house to pursue. (Hear, hear.) I do not think the oar
sion required more than what I proposed, and what the
house adopted. (Hear, hear.) I think we did sufficient to
maintain the dignity and ss met the privileges of this home
et parliament. But I think if there is one thing more un-
dignified than another—if there is we thing more humiliat-
ing and degrading than another, either in an individual or
in an assembly, it is the indulging in Puling
lamentations and fruitless complaint., knowing at the
time of making these complaints and lamentations that no
practical result can follow except that of declaring to the
whole world that, in the opinion of the speaker, an injury
has been sustained for which none of the proposal which
he makes by way of remedy can at the present moment be
adopted. I think the hon. gentleman would have better
consulted hie own character and the dignity of parliament,
is well as psid more regard to the constitution of the
country, if he bad been content—not choosing to make his
propmels at the time when the matter was under
eousideration—to let it rest on the basis where
the majority of the house had placed it to the
satisfaction, I will venture to affirm, of the
great bulk of the nation. (Her, hear.) The hon. gentle-
man says that if we dissolved parliament sad appealed to
the country on this question we should have had a great
majority. I am entirely of a different opinion. tle
I am persuaded that the country would not have supported
• ministry who deemed that this was a question on which,
under the circumstances of the came, we ought to take issue.
(Hess.) I am not prepared for any of the courses which
the hon. gentleman proposes. He has been pleased,
towards the conclusion of his speech, to tell us what con-
stitutes treason. There are those who think that men
who would wish to overthrow every component
part of the constitution of the country might
bring their minds to conceive plans which, if
they were carried into execution, might come under that
denomination. (Hear, hear.) But all I will undertake to
say is this, that when he says that a particular 00112110 which
government may take is one which may be treason to
the people, and that the adoption of such • course would
cover the minister who adopted it with contempt and infamy,
I rest with confidence the question between the hon. gentle-
man end myself or this point on the deliberate judgment of
the present and all future ages ; and I am not at all afraid
which view will be deemed to be deserving of the epithets
which he hail been pleased to bestow upon me. (Cheers.)

which led him to oppose the second read.ing of the previous

an edict against " singing a particilar song," as this bill
poposed, he would be considered by every one as • lunatic:.
He moved that the bill be read this day three months.
Mr. LONGFIELD supported the amendment.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT.-...GUILDFORD, Avouvr 10.

(Belem Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Special Juries.)

This action, which was pertly heard on Monday and Tu
day, was resumed yesterday.
Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Robinson p
appeared for the plain-
tiff, and Sernent Parry, Mr. Joyce, and Mr. Jones Levi for
the defendant.
The action, it will be remembered, was brought by the
plaintiff, who was formerly lady's maid in the service of
Lord and Lady Zetland, to recover damages from the de-
fendant, who is an attorney, for having compromised an
action she bad brought against the Earl and COUlltall for
detaining clothes, and money, and jewellery belonging to her,
without her sanction.
llerjeent Parry yesterday proceeded to address the jury for
the defendant, who, be and, instead of having neglected the
interests of the plaintiff or damagod her in any manner, had
in reality been prosecuted by her without the slightest
grounds, and he could o* account for her conduct by the
supposition that her mind was distempered. He then re-
ferred to the nature of the action, and said it appeared to
him that the plaintiff, by her own evidence, had put her
self out of court, for she would not venture to deny that
she had sanctioned the arrangement that was come to, and
he believed that if his learned friend had acted &wilding to
the dictates of his own good sense and discretion he would
long ego have retired from the awe. With regard to this
transaction, Mr. Voules had actually paid MIX in oasts out
of his pocket in the actions against Mrs Potter and Lord
Zealand and he refused to have anything to do with a com-
promise until Serjeent Wilkins, who was Miss Frey's coun-
sel, impressed his opinion that it would be madnen to pro.
used with the action, that she was sure to be annulled, and
that the only course for her to take was to accept any offer
that night be made to her. Even then it was all done upon
serjeant Wilkins's responsibility, and he explained her po-
sition to her, and the plaintiff consented to the offer, and
an endorsement to that effect was made upon his brief, and
also upon that of Mr. Doyle, who was also one of her ooun-
eaL He said it appeared to him that the plaintiff wes
most dangerous women—that she was bringing actions
against everyone with whom she came in contact, end that
he himself, or even the j might think themselves lucky
if they escaped from being dragged into litigation by her.
Mr. Vadat, the defendant, was then examined, as also
Mr. Johnstone, his managing clerk.
The jury then interposed, and inquired of his lordship
whether it was necessary to hear any more of the case.
The Chief Justice said he did not like to stop such an

. .
Mr. Kennedy then rose and said he was very glad the
jusy had interposed, as he was placed in a very peculiar
position. He now, however, felt himself justified in saying 1
that when he came into court he had not the remotest idea
of the defence that would be established, and that if he bad
been aware of the strength of the evidence for the defendant
he would never have undertaken the case. He was, of
course, only anxious to do hie duty, and it appeared to him
that upon the teen, now before the court be ought not to
proceed as further.
The Lord Chief Justice said he could only express his
opinion that the learned counsel had conducted the case
with the most exemplary propriety. It appeared to him
after the evidence that had been given that it would only
be a waste of time, and he would be stultifying himself if
he proceeded any further.
Serjeant Party said he thought it only due to hie learned
friend Mr. Hawkins, whose name had been mentioned by
the plaintiff in her examination, to say that he was prepared
to contradict all that she had said. Be had never spoken
to Lord Zetland in his life, and had not only never shot
with him in September or October, but certainly had never
done so at the Faster vacation. (A laugh.)
Mr. Sevin, who, it appeared, had watched the proceedings
on behalf of Lord and Lady Zetland, said that the plaintiff
bad made many slanderous statements in reference to the
establishment of his lordship, and he was most anxious to
state that they were utterly false, and that if there bad
been.ainy opportunity of doing so they would have been
postnve' contradicted.
The Lord Chief Justice said he thought that any intro-
' diction of such statements as those made by the plaintiff
was quite superfluous.
The jury said they were of the game opinion. A verdict
war then returned for the defendant.
Mine Frey:subsequently applied to the Lord Chief Justice
to stay execution, but his lordship refused to interfere.
