The itheby In India wee a subject upon which the thoughts

Pahmens surthe danger, bat yielded to the storm, end
mod Ids pitta. lie (Major Bawd. tord) believed that the
casethelsa wee en unfortunate circumstance, and that the
asp othosirmacee had proved most serene to the army
sad le Oa MM. Notwithstanding these obstacle., Lord
Pelorestas bed low all in his power to meet the Indian
theiginey, and he bed no doubt but that the noble Iced
weld coadame bed with the ems vigour which had cha-
nt:MANl W ammemat of the war. (Hear, hear.) If,

sappoesd that be could give his support to a whig govern-
ment, cenobite led by Lord Palmerston; but he would be
no party to hampering •government which WU doing every-
thing in its power to maintain the honour of the country.
Mr. Dv CANE next retuned thanks, and observed that,
with respect to Lord Palmerston, it was quite true, an bit
right hon. adleagne bad caid, the noble lord had bowed to
the stone he could not rotal. But there were time@ whim
the old camareative Kann wee stirred up within him, and it
wee upon tem, or cession* he had mated-2dr. Berkeley's mo-
tion for the ballot and Mr. Locke King's precious piece of
legislation intended to etelisli the property queldicetetn of
members of parliament. (Ilea. hear.) The .tft promised,
but oft postponed, reform bill was the first meanre
to which government wee pledged, but so Lord
Palluerston's reform mountain had so often laboured
without producing even a moan, it ass to be
feared the party so much interested in parliamentary
reform would be grievously daappointed. The noble lord
bad, however, made himself responsible on the part of the
ministry for a new reform bill, and however content he weight
be to pit quietly, there wae a noble lord behind him who was
quite prepared to Me the matter tut of his bends at the
shortest partible noti e. In the alien, eof any definite mea-
sure, be would not commit himself to any pledge; but this
he would Pay, that any immure to which he would give him
eumert must be very different to the loot abortive creation of
Lord John Ruesell, and onmethini very different from the
cuiechievoue meanie .d Mr. Locke King. Ile trusted that
any tueasure which would be brought forward would have
for its object rather to amend than to extend the errors of the
Tommie of 1892 ; and that those who filmed it would be
guided by the true principle of giving vi.ry interest in the
state its due importonee. in relation to the eroperty repro-
sented by it. (Hear, hear.) Raving referred at emite length
to domestic policy, oho hon. gentleman der_ laid his intention
to support the government to the utmost in euppremlng the
Indian revolt. which called for vengeance and nuttier.
Several tosete of is local character followal, and the com-
pany did not separate until a late hour.
