LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DZCZN3II s.

A 611/410N of Parliament before Christmas
would not bare been, in oar fathers' time,
considered a thing out of coarse, or one that
required @pedal excuse or explanation. It was the
regular practice to summon the Lards and Canaan
for the despatch of business in November ; and to
provide them with work to do till Christmas Eve.
Many important measures long sine* registered in
the national annals were brought forward, fought
oat, and finally disposed of in the days of the
Idling year. One remarkable instance is suggested
by the recurrence of the same subject now. The
memorable India Bill of Mr. Fox was introduced
by him on the 11th of November, 17S3—
carried, after a nionth's debate in the Commons,
on the Bth of December—and rejected, upon
wood reeding in the Lords, on the 17th
of the same month. We note the circumstance
as illustrating the methodical and serious way in
which politicians seventy yeses ago occupied them-
selves at Westminster ; not with any desire that the
ominous example with regard to Oriental affairs
should be drawn just sow into precedent. On the
contrary, we continue to maintain the opinioa
we have bons the first expressed, that without
earehl sad somprehenaive inquiry into the causes of
We mats, and into the general system of adminis-
tration that may be found to have conduced
sadly thereto, no was Minister would propose to
emit permanent laws for Southern Asia, and no wise
Parliament would consent toentsrtain the proposition.
The very ease alluded to above strongly confirms this
view. Select Committees had for two years pre-
✓ious to 1783 been actively engaged in investigating
the grievaiseem of the comparatively email beffillndas
that then acknowledged the Company's ewe, j mod
it was upon the ground that these *Ada ha
been fully made, and that the able Rigero of
the Committees left nothing obscure as is agia•
tees of fact, that Mr. Fox and bin esihmegnas use
dertook to legislate in the art immdse min*
referred to. The ease now hems we me smeesele
India is exactly the reverse. Up to die peen/ bre
no two mas al political station or chaseister are hand
to agree as le the immediate cameos that led to the
Sepoy reek. Habeas and heartrending as be
details home been, and graven as they are apes else
