LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30.

THERE is sad confusion and contradiction among
the journals which affect to enjoy the privi.
lege of conveying to the public the first hints

or the intentions of Government. On
Friday the semi-official Times and Glebe exultingly

announced that as soon as Parliament met Lord
PALMERSTON would introduce a Bill to vest the
government of India exclusively in her MAJF.STT'S
Ministers. The equally semi-official Morning Post ob-
served, on that and the following day, a discreet
silence. And on Sunday morning the semiofficial
Obserier broke upon the town, not only with a formal
contradiction of the story told by its co-mates in Minis..
terial confidence, but with sundry left-handed compli-
ments less pleasant than pungent to " red-tapists "
and " system-mongers." If we are to judge by
what reaches us through these channels of com.
munication, there mast exist, among the statesmen
engaged in fashioning a declaration with regard to
India for the Royal Speech, a confusion of tongues
utterly unprecedented except in the case of the
would-be builders of Babel.

To what are we to attribute this imbroglio? Has
the Times ventured to play the game—of which it
has often been shrewdly suspected—of putting forth
some information which it has tolerable grounds for
believing to be correct, in such a shape that the most
gullible public may be led to believe that the inti-
mation is official? Or have Ministers first authorised
the announcement, and then, awed at the audacity of

their own project, instructed another of their month-
pieces to contradict the intimation? in this resem-
bling the creature of the poet's imagination :

- First Fear his hands, his skill to try,
Amid the chords bewildered laid ;
Then back recoiled, he knew not wby,
Even at the sound himself had made.
If the journals, which appear to be on the eve of
being as effectually contradicted by events in their
announcement of Ministerial intentions regarding

India as they were t'other day in their announce-
ment of Ministerial intentions regarding the suspen-
sion of the Bank Charter Act, have really had us
authority for their announcements, we can only advise
them to be a little more modest and • little more
prudent in future, and to abstain from the hazardous
practice of pretending to know more than they
really do. If, on the other hand, they have been
gulled by pretended confidences on the part of men
in office, they are entitled to some sympathy in their
present ridiculous plight, and they will do well to
avoid being again subjected to such treatment by
assuming a more independent attitude, in respect of
all great men, for the future.
With regard to Ministerial intentions respecting
India, we cannot honestly pretend to know, like
most of our neighbours, anything save by con-
jecture. Indeed, we doubt much whether Minis-
ters have as yet finally resolved upon the
course they are to pursue. The prevalent im-
pression that our governmental arrangements for
tii
India are susceptible of great improv te, invites
indeed to the introduction of some of re-
form. But the task is no easy one to '' • e more
direct and openly responsible actin the part
of the Imperial Government with effective securities
against the perversion of Indian patronage to
parliamentary jobbing, against excessive centralise-
tion of power in the hands of the Imperial Govern-
ment, and against the dangers which might result
from that ignorance of Indian affairs which is
characteristic of the great majority of our leading
party men. We believe we are warranted in stating
that the full importance of these considerations is
deeply impressed on the minds of some of the most
influential leaders of both of our great Parliamentary
parties; that up to a late hour on Saturday no
final resolve, as to the course to be pursued with re-
gard to India, had been adopted by the Cabinet;
that it is extremely improbable that any-
thing beyond a mere vague allusion to modifica-
tions of our system of Indian Government will
be introduced into the QUEEN'S Speech;, that no
measure for this purpose will be submitted before
Christmas ; and that if Ministers do not themselves
propose to follow the course adopted on all previous
' occasions, of preceding the introduction of measures
for introducing changes into our eystcm of Indian
Government by Committees or Commissions of In-
, quiry, it is not unlikely to be forced upon them by
a joint vote of independent Liberals and members of
the Conservative Opposition.

A letter from Calcutta, dated October 22, says :
.• With this mail you will probably Mika General Wilson's
account of the capture of the palace and the King of Delhi.
It has been suppressed in this country, and will not be pub.
licked till after the departure of the mail. The object of this
proceeding is, doubtless, to secure to the cabinet the earliest
l Trade
information. The practice., however, is inj • and should
be stopped by the president of the booed. a feel-
ing of uneasiness, as no merchant is able te the
probable effect of despatches be has no Trade is
sufficiently embarrassed already without dirou of
artificial unoertainties."
