LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBEE 8.

THI Worms best Lord Limns, which appears
osether edam, would add little to oar know-
krife lOs asmditi® and proepecte of the besieged
* the Leskserer lirmielesey, even if its statements
amid be depembil yen. It states that two convoys
efba melds* bed lesebed Locknow t that HATS.
I,OOH tame ors mended by groat numbers; that them
had lema Ind lidding, and that Sir JANIS OLIN=
bad boa weeded ; that Sir Cow, CANIMILL bad
LS limns place, the name of which cannot be over
Arad, for Cawnpore, on October 28 ; and that troops
will proceed to the relief of Lucknow when in eu9l-
- strength." All this, with the eruption of the
alleged arrival of two convoys with provisions
at Lucknow, and the alleged departure of Sir COLIN
for Cawnpore, we had heard before. Lord PAL.
imacros '8 conjecture that the story about the
convoys is merely a repetition, with exaggerations,
of the account received by last mail that a convoy
had reached Alumbagh, is extremely probable. As
to the " NaMerOCK" from which the COMNANDLIAN.
CHIEF is mid to have taken his departure, it is pro-
bably one of those mangled and mutilated names
which issue from the blundering pose of electrie-
telegraph clerks. There is Neamutpore about 140
miles from Calcutta on the Grand Trunk Road ;
that. is a Peopoor about 190 miles from
mitts, also on the Grind Trunk Road ; mad
there is a Mahoonwar a few mike from
Berke*, another statiao on the Grand Trunk Read,
distant some 230 mike from Calcutta. Three me
the only names we can find which even the lioense of
the electric telegraph clerks can be imagined to have
transmogrified into Namwoor. But it is scarcely
worth while seeking to puzzle out this point, seeing
that no intimation was received by last mail of Sir
Comex having any intention to advents speedily
to the front; that the intelligemoe transmitted by
Admiral LYONS appears to be aesrely the substance'
of oral communications from the crew or passengers

of the Oriental; sad that the Orientals merely a
tassel steamer which left Calcutta about a week
after the last mail despatch. There is nothing toe
it but to pontos oar souls in patience for a few days
more ; the Telegram is advance of the regular mail
cannot now be mach longer coming to hand. By-
the-bye it is passing strange that this Telegram,
which bears date the 4th inst., should only have
been received ►t a late how yesterday, seeing that
the Telegram dated the 6th, which intimated the
suwelefal laying of the electric cable to Cwrfa, was
received at an early hour in the morning.

THE Home of Lords was occupied last night with
• series of diecusime about India, conducted in a
asniser not partisahrly calculated to wire the the-
mew d that ensembly for earneetneas of aim or

of the ONO:aides is bound to redeem his pledge that
he would be able to make good his startling accusa-
tion, or to give ap the name of the calumniator whe
may have nide& him.

The second c►apter in the desultory and incontle-
aim altercation of last night related to the contents
of what was by SOMISIOS SOOSNIS eisignated "the
" red pamphlet." For the general aemireey
of this striking brochure Lord DISST gave
his usual unqualified paraatee, while his
tedious tormentor, the Duke of AZOTLL
volunteered a pledge of his reputation that a awe
unfaithful record of events had edam appeared is

revert to the fate of the tahrtoate sided►trap of
Lord limiLme, on whom. when dead, diseases of the
blonder that ►ed to the Balmlike' charge wee sea-
Musty sung by more than one of those cemented.
We may be forgiven, however, for the remark in
passiag, that if Lord GRANTILLS is &Mom of
giving to his defence of Government see std
Government measures the effect which his diacretiem
and tact generally obtain for them when uttered in
his pleasant, frank, and often telling way, he ought

notice that it mu hie

intention to move for the production of certain Acts
and Orders of Lord CASMNG, was that, however,
which most of the peers had probably bees
attracted by ; and considering the gravity of the

- .
considerations involved in the contents of the docu-
ments in question, it was natural to expect that an
animated and interesting debate would have arisen
on the anticipated peuvooation. Would Lord ELLIN.

ing the Indian press or would he defend what he
bed era, but say it was not done In titne ? Which-
ever am he took wee apparently rare to lead to

warns discussion, and the interehange of sharp re-
bakes. The noble Earl seems to have been
resolved on this occasion to disappoint all
expectations of the kind. He neither im-
pugned nor defended on any broad principle
the Act suspending the freedom of the pram; but
confined himself to a series of elaborate strictures on
the provisions of the Act and the inconsistencies so
frequently pointed out in its practical operation.
H. would hare drawn an absolute distinction be-
tween the English and the native press; just as in
the Act prohibiting without license the use of arms
he would have adopted opposite rules for Asiatic.
and Europeans. " The English of to-day in India,"
he exclaimed, " ere in the position the Normans
" were in Saxon England in the twelfth century;
" and if you disarm them they will be destroyed ;
" their only title is the sword, and se long es the
" hope of resistance lives, by the sword their right to
" beer rale must be maintained." Buthaving satisfied
his 411111111 of producing a striking rhetorical affect
by this allusion to the ancestors (by courtesy) of hie
hearers, the noble Earl's better sense and calmer
judgment returned their sway, and he inferentially
unsaid all this in an admirable peroration, wherein
be laid down, as broadly as ERSKINE or Rostius
bold have done, the futility and infatuation of
atiampting to govern India on the principle of
setting race against race, or creating the impression
that we believed our interest.., as a domi-
nant minority, were opposed to the interests
of the mass of the native population. Unless we
can succeed in winning to oar support the confidence
of the princes and people of India, not only in our
courage, but in our justice, our dominion over them
must inevitably perish. In this view Lord ELt.e...-
sonorcet would carefully discriminate between those
really guilty of the crimes committed during the late
revolt and those who were but presumably inculpated
by doubtful acts of omission or commission. Nothing
can be more true than the observation made by him,
and reiterated by Lords GRANVILLE and Clary, that
to render punishment exemplary and impressive it
ninst be discriminating. Though necessarily general,
sad consequently somewhat vague in its terms, the
eking pert of his lordship's speech will be read with
interest by all who value the future pace and wel-
fare dour great dependencies in southern Asia.
On the whole it must nevertheless be owned, that
it would be difficult to point out for what practical
purpose last night's discussion was raised, or to what
definite object it can be said to turn. The newly
dimovertd theory laid down without reservation by
Lard GREY, that Parliament has no business to
(Atka, the acts of Governors of distant provinces,
beesnee by so doing the respect for British power
and authority may be weakened, is one of
the oddest notions that ever fell even from
the lips of that most whimsical of clever
men. We shall certainly not waste words in seriously
menbatting so glaringly wrong-headed and uncon-
stitutional an idea. No man, in fact, is more likely,
to some less paradoxical mood, to find out and ex-
pee its absurdity than the noble Earl himself; and,
OS Iced MALMERBURT reminded him, nobody has I
nth ancestral pretensions to the functions of Par-
liamentary commentator and rumor of nuiladminie-

tration aimed ea Lind OR ST. It is not the flat
indication given by his lordship of recent years,
however, of his tendency to take less liberal views
than he was once supposed to do of public affairs.

that atiresent before the hosts.
In any ease the two houses will adjourn in this

parliament usually sasembles.—Post.
