hope that I might to-day have had to ammo, the esated
of fresh intelligenee from that quarter of the globe le
which just now all eyes are turned, and M width the
barb of the whole country are directed. I was la
bops that I might have bad, not • ecairsalhae

eras by which the capture of Delhi has isenaehisved; and
I trait that before many howl have elapsed, we alai m-
aitre intelligence which will cheer the hearts et Idaglislimaite

man has &sided the fate of the contest, and that what ir
mains le be achieved is only the sequel of that manereldet
Maggie. (" Meer," sad elbeas.) My Lord Mayor, It le
lammeible for say liaglidiama let look upon what Mehra
achieved In India—ad by our soldiers only, but by chi•
liana, by individuals smattered in knot. over the whole m-
hos of that meet empire, without feeling some proud Ora

of the measicia. We took the earliest opportunity
of eartedliag to India • great army—an army which had
net yet mired when our greet triumphs were accomplished,
but which, when it Mall arrive, will reader what remains to
bedew amparatively clay of accomplishment, and will, I de
not doubt, establish the power and authority of England ea
en uniakeable basis throughout the whole of oar Indian
empire. (Hear, end cheers.) My noble friend, Lord Na-
mara boa alluded to the spirit which hie been displayed
throughout the country, end I =proud to ay that, although
we have despatched from three shone the ingest army that
I believe ever left it at one time, we have now under arms

la the United Kingdom es many fighting men as we bad
under anus before the nem of the mutiny had arrived.
(Loud cries of Hear, hear.") And, theedeve, Heny Solo
nation ever dreamt in Its visions that the mortices
which we have been compelled to make in India
have left ua at all weakened, and that a diluent
booing may be observed towards no than In the
hour at our strength, the manner in which:the spirit of the
country has gone forth, the manner in which the ranks of
our army have been filled, the manner In which our Some
ham been replenished, will teach the world that it is not a
safe game to play to attempt to take advantage of that which
they had erronscrusly Imagined to be a moment of weakness.
(Loud sad protracted cheering.) Guillermo, it is been the
fashion amongst people on the continent to my that the

either as officers or soldiers in knowledge of the &Wee ei the

privations ore to be endured, wherever in sheet, then On
the wont dangers for the soldier to face, them I will ,seem

Lord Canning will have to perform will be r-
deed • dittleult one. He will have to pail the
guilty, to spat the innocent, end to reward the
deserving. To punish the guilty edequately exceeds the
power of any civilised man, for the atrocities whirl bays
bees committed snatch II could only have been 'mashed

hear.) But, my lord, as your lordship has observed, justice
moot not be administered in • 'pixie of vengeance, but In a
spirit of severity, In order that the example of punishment
for mime may prevent its repetition, and for the future
insure the safety of oar countrymen thd countrywomen In
r India. (Hear, bear.) Lord Canning will have to spare the
innocent, end it is most gratifying to know that while the
guilty are to be numbered by thowande the innocent must
be reckoned by millions. It). gratifying to en as it is

honourable to the people of India to ki.ov that the great
bulk of the population of that country bale had no share in
the enormities which have been committed. (Hein.) Those

men who have had experience of British rule, and who
have thus been able to compare it with the tyranny practised
by the native chiefs, have had no participation la the at-
tempts which have been made to overthrow our damisbn,
and it is most remarkable that in that past of the empbe
which has been most recently acquired, I mean the Purtjaub,
that which has most recently experienced the government of
the English, we hare fogad the people the most loyal
' and attached to their new and bentrolent masters. (Hear.)
Lord Canning will have to reward the deserving, for many
are they, both high and low—who have not only abstained
from taking a pert in this mutiny, but have most kindly and
generously slteltered fugitives, have rimmed others from the
amenlts of the malingers, end have thus entitled themselves
to distinction end reward. (Hear, bear.) If Lord Canning
naives, as I ems acre he will, that confidence on the pert of
the government and people of this country without which it
Is impossible for a man in his high pceition to discharge his
duty, I Ea 'Mimosa that, when this dreadful tragedy he.
pawed away, he will be found properly to have played his
pork end to have exhibited stern unflinching justice—not,
however, without that dlitertaihisting generosity which hoe
