—INDIAN FINANCE.

Ms. VANSITTZHFZUveYfo;;.s;ieot easmitiee to
Inman tato the following questions connected with the
inenweraf India :—l. Whether it is resaleable to introdue

sot desirable to abolish the Legislative Council at Calcutta,

Whether tt Is not advisbte to amalgamate the Swims and
Sadder Courts; sod 4. Whether it is not expellers to put •
mop to the existiog system of raising loans at the present
high rates of 'Merest. He dieetesed three questions seriatim,
artveosthis; the dirmative of each by argument and
authority.
Sir C. WOOD, admitting that them questions were most

ended to ensign reasons why he thought no advantage

an expectation that a civil service could be obtained at a
Cheaper rate. He wee not prepared to say, with retreat to the
second grimes, that a reduction in the councils might not
be ;estimable and &amble, and a saving elected ; the sub-
ject was under the consideration of the Indian govern-
ment ; bet a change in the councils of the minor presiden-
cies weld require an application to parliament. Upon this
question Sir Charles threw out various suggestions se to the
composition and powers of an Indian legislative council.
With regard to the actalgation of the Supreme and Sadder
Courts, he went eking with Mr. Vansittszr, believing that
it would be a most valuable measure. It had been directed
In 1864, but the government at Calcutta had hitherto met
with obstacles in carrying it oat. Oa the subplot of Indian
loans he triefly referred to the dlooomicee which it had
undergone, and spoke in a cheerful tone of the provide of
Indian finance.

of British India. Practically, in a finaselel point of view,

Coked SYEES observed that the revenues of India had
incremed in a greater ratio than the interest on the debt, and
that the pressure upon the resources of India was in reality
net heavy. In the present condition of India, with no na-
tive glass who could resist us, and the people dimmed, we
did not require 100,000 En/opens troops these; 60,000 would

ADJOURNMENTS ON FRIDAYS.
Mr. A. STEUART proposed a resolution—. That it
would tend to the regularity of debate, on the motion for
adjournment oa Fridays, if the clerk were instructed to place
In their order on the paper, sae after another, all questions to
be addressed to each particular member of the government."
The hoe. member said that in bringing forward this motion
it was not his intention to infringe upon that liberty of debate
which the house always recognised. His object was to endea-
vour to pother some slight regularity in the course of their
proceedings on snob occasions as his motion referred to.
Mr. DISRAELI add he wished some noble lord or right
hoe. gentleman who was responsible for the conduct of the
house would favour them with their opinion on this motion.
It appeared to him that the motion was one which the house
ought not to sgme to. He had always supported the privi-
lege of tha boniest to them queetions of pressing and general
harlot which it was for the public advantage should be
Naked= the motion for adjournment on Fridays ; hut ha
always admitted that there wire grave objections to • wags
of indulgence in that respect. He always thought that the
members who btought forward thee questions might to study
that they did not take the form of debates, but
the proposition of his hon. friend was that they should be-
strew debates ; sad, notwithstanding the business of the
evening for which the house was prepared, they shoul i hays
a member of debates in wbicb hoe. members might all of them
deliver their opinions. The asking sad answering these
questions on Friday evenings wen a sort of convereezione
which it teas for the public adventeem should be tolerated—
(a langli)—ind the house should he very ammartes fa allowing
the practice to deviate from that muse. (Hear hoar.) He
for one could not agree to this resolution, and be mutt call
upon the keens to panes behave they sanctioned such a mo-
tion. (Beer.)
Sttr G. C. LEWIS said that the only reason why he had
not rims at oem to answer the motion of the hoe. gentleman
wee, Imams he thought it might bays been considered invi-
dims at ear wasber of the government to rite end speak on

18.111111.1611.1wrever, he might safely affirm, wart the last
ineeme lAD were interested in increasing the number of
AMlllit dement to government business. The hon. gentleman
W suit that the object of his motion was to systematise and
Waft =Ms regular the debate upon the adjournment of the
be.. ea Friday., and for that porpoise he proposed that the
tat queetioes should be classified by the clerk at the
Whin, and if theta ware several questions relating to India
dry should le placed together, and the same system should
Imo extended to all other subjects, so that the minister of one
department might des and answer all the questions
Madeg to his office. If they were to continue to maintada,
nod yet extend that miscellaneous debate on Friday evening'',
the motion of the hon. gentleman would certainly man
matters more intelligible, bat it uudoubtedly would tend to
predate the ninth mentioned by the right hon. gentleman
opposite, namely, that there would be s disposition to extend
any little knot of Indian questions into an Indian debate. If
they opened the door to an Indian debate, and than a debate
en the war department, and perbsps one on foreign affairs,
whit* might occupy hon. gentlemen far some time, tbs rule
of the howls, that Friday should be a government night,
would he entirely defeated. He must say that he was in.
dined to centem with .he right hog. patterns'', and record
his vote wine this classification of the notices.
Mr. STEUART said that after such an titivation of opi-
Dint be should not put the house to the trouble of dividing.
The motion was We withdrawn.
