LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 20.

Pon= cariosity is still baulked, and nobody as yet
seems to feel sure whether any or what immediate
consequences may follow from what Mr. ROEBUCK
efiile " the occurrences of list Monday night in the
House of Lords."

The quidnuncs of course are busy; and every po-
litical charlatan avails himself of the opportunity to
perform his particular tricks. Small proteztionista
try to look as if they were not hungry; great pro-
tectionists ape an indifferent and patriotic air:
while both so soon u they fancy them-
selves out of hearing, give way to immoderate
glee at their supposed discovery of an opening
to power. Leas exuberant, though hardly less in-
tense, is the malicious joy of the Peelites. "They
always knew it must come to this ;" but having been
four years coming, their reputation as misfortune-
tellers had fallen rather low : and but for the ebulli-
tion of Lord STANLEY and his followers, there seemed
to have been but little chance of their inarticulate
incantations against the whig cabinet producing any
effect. Even when the storming party had been
formed, these wisest of warriors could not make up
their superior minds as to what they should do.
Some of them stayed to swell the empty triumph of
the rsactionist party, while many of them ran away.
Ever since the Russian vote of Monday night,
however, Peelites and protectionists strut up and
down with ludicrous airs of rival importance, evi-
dently wondering to which of them the world believes
itself most indebted for having tried to degrade the
tone and bearing of Englands foreign policy in the
eyes of the caballing despotisms of Europe. In every
coterie of toryism there is bat one sentiment audible
—" surely the whigs must resign ; who is to be
sent for ? it is certain that Lord JoHN most go out ;
did we not hear him say that he shared the responsi-
bility of every leading measure with Lord PALMERS-
TON ?—and how then can he retain office if the foreign
secretary is compelled to retire?"
A sad misgiving lurks however beneath all this
exultant mirth. By the constitution of things poli-
tical within this realm politicians are of two sexes ;
and as the analogy of the grammarians holds good
respecting them, whereby it is ruled that the mascu-
line is more worthy than the feminine,—so it follows
that the will of the feebler intellects, to wit
those of the Lords, must submit to the resolution of
the abler and more powerful Commons. The Lords
may rail, reproach, and rave ad libitum : but, since
the passing of the Reform Bill, their share in the de-
cision of the question—Who shall be minister ?--has
been a fading reminiscence rather than a practical
reality. Not only are the principles on which
the government is to be carried on, but the
choice of persons by whom it is to be car-
ried on, is determined absolutely, peremptorily, and
finally by the House of Commons. There is and
there can be no appeal to any other tribunal. If
there were, all that the nation then believed that it
had gaioed would be a dream. The right of the
people of the United Kingdoms through their repre-
sentatives to name their own rulers, is the corner-
stone of national peace, order, and endurance; were
it possible for that to be disturbed or seriously
shaken, who would give a twelvemonth's purchase
for the stability of any institution that now seems
secure?

But if a reckless or resentful vote of the hereditary
peerage could determine the official existence of a
minister, it is plain that it could dictate his successor.
Nay this would form the motive and the aim. The
great interests of a great people would become the
sport of a profligate intrigue, and the prey of a
worthless and imbecile class, who inherit the names
without the national spirit or personal talent of their
fathers. Were we the advocates of sudden or sweep-
ing change, we should daily and hourly pray that the
devil of presumption might be suffered to pass
into the herd of peers' for speedily would
they run violently down this steep place, and
' with their privileges, sink to rise no more. Noble
lords and ignoble commoners who chuckle at the idle
insult offered to Lord PALMERSTON. cannot wholly
stifle the consciousness of these grave truths. They
dare not ask the sentence of the only court that has
competent jurisdiction in the matter. They have
never ventured even to raise a serious discussion on
the Greek or any other part of the foreign policy of
ministers in the House of Common'. They shirk the en-
counter where alone it can be decided manfully, fairly,
or summarily, and skulk in the shadows of the anti-
quated hall of privilege and priestcraft, in the hope
of being able to raise such conjurations there, as will
scare the holders of power into the sacrifice of a par-
ticular colleague.
We do not believe that it is necessary to remind
Lord Jost: RUSSELL of the duty which he owes to the
country whose voice has made him what he is,
and whose approval sustains him where he
ie, regarding any insolent attempt which may
be made to treat the idle censure of 167 elderly
gentlemen seated in a gilded chamber and ex-
pressing no other opinion than their own and M.
BauNeow's, as an impediment in the way of his con-
tinuance in power. The nation at large, were the
opportunity given it of expressing its opinion, would
scoff at the very notion of its foreign policy being
dictated or in any degree modified at the bidding of
the coalesced jailors of Eastern Europe. They feel, and
feel with pride,that although England ham not interfered
in the domestic concerns of other states, her example,
her countenance, and her sympathy, have been evinced
towards every people who have of late years struggled
to win their freedom. They know that for this, and
for no other cause, is Lord YaLmensros DOM assailed
by the leagued despotisms who for the present have
crushed Italy, outwitted Germany, and laid Hungary
in ashes. The people of England are not blind to the
petty errors of a courageous minister. They see him
beset by every machination of bigotry, violence, and
corruption, and they will not be parties to his being
made a scapegoat or a victim.

Mx. Baminr, we fear, was but too well justified in
coupling the subject of the growth of cotton in India
with the greater one of the domestic administration
of the East India Company, although to obtain any
speedy result in procuring or opening a new source
for the supply of the great raw material, it would
have been preferable to leave unstirred a question of
such great political magnitude. But cotton, like
corn, can depend bat little on isolated experiments in
cultivation. And if the people cannot turn their hand
largely to it, and be able to find remuneration for
their industry, model farms will do little. As it is,
.4._ natives of India, like those of Ireland, being
&reseed to the lowest minimum of subsistence as
we l u of intellectual capacity, necessarily confine
their efforts to the raising their daily food. Both
were in this lowest grade of industry, and with diffi-
culty could be brought to rise to that second grade,
of which) the characteristic) was the growing produce
for export as well as for consumption.
This, however is the work of a body of intelligent
load-owners. But land-owners there are none in
India. the landed aristocracy has been swept away.
The lower class are too pea to throw up a middle
claim which exists only In the clam of a few, who
have scraped together a little money, who charge the
mast usurious interest to the labourer, pay him the
limit miserable prim Ice his produce, are without
thaw roads and facilities of tamped, which would
enable them to bring their peados* to market, ex-
cept at great east, and this, neither the import nor
the surges penises of eotton an take place, except
under the rare stimulus of high prices.
We meet to see that the line of argument taken by
the representatives of the Bast India and
of the government was to pooh pooh all attempts at
inquiry, all allusion to the political and social condi-

lion of the peep,* of India, and all efforts, indeed,
me the few fatile experiments that have been already
made. If Manchester wants cotton, argue those gentle-
men, let Manchester , send its capital and enterprise
to India. The same answer and the same counsel was
made to those &Omit politicians who complained of
the poverty and unfruitfulness of Ireland. But
capital embarked in any country must depend for its
return on the security of the country, on the industri-
one habits of the population, on the fiscal burdens,'
the Nodal 'freedom of the country. Capital embarked
in a sugar or indigo plantation, requires much assur-
ance. But capital to be embarked in the far wider
and more popular production of cotton, demands
infinitely greater amount of information, of assur-
ance, of facilities.
Far from being ready to grant this, the directors of
the But India Company seem anxious to deter. The
population, they say, must remain as it is. The
tenure of land cannot be altered; war expenses forbid
the lightening cc; aviation, Bat tf Manchester will
guarantee a high minimum price for cotton, then it
shall be furnished. This in other words Is protection,
a ruling that cotton shall not sell for less than Sid. a
pound, in the same as that wheat was not to be sold
under fifty-six or sixty shillings. Such are the argu-
ments of officials connected with a free trade adminis-
tration.

Mr. BRIGHT urges the government of India to exert
itself to render the production of cotton cheap, or at
least to appoint a commission to enquire how this can
be done. Sir JADIES Hooa replies to this fairest of
demands, by asking Manchester to purchase dear.
This is a mockery that, on any subject better under-
stood and commanding more general interest than
India, would draw down serious reprobation.
We are surprised to find the demands of great com-
mercial interests met by such arguments as these.
The Indian government is at present n the greatest diffi-
culty, which it knows not how to meet ; and to meet
which it principally requires information, proceeding
from afulterand less interested source than its own ser-
vants. The great deficit in its annual revenue pro-
ceeds not merely from extraordinary war expenses,
but front the poverty of the country and the Igno-
rance In which the administration exists respecting
it. Even its good intentions tend to its detriment.
Thus the company diminished the duty on salt. This
boon to a peasantry not ground to the earth would
have produced such an increase in the consumption of
salt that the revenue would not have suffered.
But there was no increase of consumption,
and consequently the revenue is a serious loser.
Could the cultivators of the soil raise,besides the articles
of subsistence, an article for export such as cotton,
the government would find no difficulty in raising a
fair amount of taxation without grinding the lower
class. As to all the exports that can be raised in pet
fume, or in establishments managed by the company's
own servants, these may figure in the budget, or
enable a director in the House of Commons to point
to the increasing growth of sugar or of indigo; but,
as is but too evident, these experiments have no im-
portant resulton the population or general prosperity of
the country. For these, larger measures are required,
including fiscal and social reforms for which the
company seems not to have collected either the infor-
mation, the freedom, or the courage requisite.
We are not amongst thou, however, who would
run a muck at the company. They have a difficult
task to perform. And if oar own house of parliament
find such difficulty in introducing reform and solid
improvement into Ireland, which lies at its door, it is
no marvel that Leadenhall-street should be at
fault is seeking to elevate the agricultural
class of Hindman. For this, however, instead of
seeking to exclude inquiry, they ought to court it.
Itoyal commissions, private commissions, they ought
to court. And instead of that stupid by-law, which
precludes all servants of the India Company from
communicating what they sea and think to the pub-
lic, such disclosures and information ought to be
encouraged and rewarded, instead of being in them
forbidden and punished.
It is impossible much longer to separate the inte-
rests, the debt', or the responsibility of the India
government from that of the home one. Eng-
land is responsible for the maintenance of
that empire, has spilt its best blood, and
treasure in it. England is responsible for the good
or bad treatment of the millicns of natives of Kin-
doetan. It is not denied that the condition of these
natives has rather deteriorated than improved under
our rule. England cannot tolerate such a slur on its
fame, !itch a burden on its conscience. Such a state
of things must be remedied, must be changed. And
the first duty of England is to kiwi', front impartial
witnesses, how things are. The East India Com-
pany may reject this year a royal commission to
inquire into the growth of cotton.; but by doing so
it may necessitate, some of these days, a monster
commission to inquire into the whole etate of India.
But though baulked of this commission, we hope
that Manchester will accept Sir JAatEs HOGU.S chal-
lenge, and send a commission of its own to return an
independent report of these districts, suited by climate
and soil for the production of cotton, and to decide
whether the low i.nd varying price in England, or
the want of roads, markets, capital, and tenure, with
the burden of over-tiscality, are not the true causes of
the impoverishment of India, and its utter nullifica-
tion as a land of supply and a source of wealth to the
industry of this country.

BEFORE the Beard of Customs take any other step
they will, in oar opinion, do well and wisely to purge
themselves, if possible, from the accusations of the
dock companies. We can conetive no graver charge
sg tinst a public board than that it has used
power, entrusted to it for the benefit 'of the state,
for the purpose of inflicting needless injury and
wrong on parties who are necessarily sub-
jected to its control. To exercise great power
legitimately is often cruel: to go out of the path of
duty needlessly to asperse, and vilify, and injure,
what the public will permit no power in this country
irresponsibly to perpetrate.
Upon this head the charges brought against the
commissioners and officers of Customs are fully ad-
mitted even by themselves. They have Even at-
tempted to defend their conduct on the
ground that it is their duty to " pro-
tect the public interest." It will be something
new to those who have been subjected to the cruel
oppressions of the customs and excise to hear that
those boards are organised to protect the " public in-
terests." Heretofore, whenever " the public inte-
rests" have been pleaded against any acts and deeds
of the commissioners, the cry has always been, "Oh,
we are a board for the collection of the revenue!" "The
public, interest" has always been forced to give way
before this plea; and a revenue board has coins to be
considered a baud that may do what it pleases with
the public interest so long as it succeeds in getting
income.

In the present cue, however, the question is not
whether a revenue board should or should not protect
" the public interest." Fortunately there is abund-
ant evidence to show that the acts of the commis-
sioners of Customs have afforded no protection to " the
public interest," but, on the contrary, tended seri-
ously to damage it. " The public interest" is not
promoted by shaking public confidence in the first
mercantile men of our city. " The public interest "
cannot be promoted by setting false reports in circula-
tion, and sending officers about the town to maks
unfounded representations injurious to the credit of
a great company. Tree directors of the dock com-
panies are ninety-two in number ; they are selected
from amongst the most considerable of our London
merchants. Can anything mare offensive be cou-
oeived than the charges made by the Custom-house
authorities against these gentlemen i'
A member of the firm of lf,ssrs. BARINO,BROTRERS,
is a director of the London Dock Company. On the
11th of April, 1841), a landing wetter of the Customs
waited on this firm to inquire whether they had say
account of a cask of sugar, ex " Lion " from Ha-
vanna, landed in July, 1848. He reported that a
cask of sugar so marked was lying in one of the
London Dock warehouses, and insinuated that the
company_was secretly withholding it. The gentle-
man at MUM. liaituse's, to whom...this communica-
tion was made, deposes as follows :

Now this is a charge made by an officer of the cus-
tom', and made. too, under the authority of the com-
minimises, as appears by one of their own communi-
cations. The Dock Company, in the most indignant
terms, have denied, repudiated, and even proved the
