TH E ADDRESS. eOl
Sir J. Ramsden brought up the repqrt on the
in reply to the Royal Speech.
On the motion that the address be read a second dose'
Mr. Hadfield complained of the manner in which
ee
munications were made to the house in Royal Spee;
and also of the absence of any sympathy of feeling .
expressed in such documents towards our colonial fell°h.o
subjects. Proper attention was not paid to them, ead
instanced the state of India, a vast country, that ;rodgeecia
but few raw articles for our consumption, whilst our tr 6
had greatly increased ; and he instanced our neglect °I
the cultivation of cotton in that country. The necessit
of a cheap and plentiful supply of cotton was esseatialiff
necessary, when they considered that:the increase of°„vj
trade since 1852 had caused the erection of 737 mine, a',
the enlargement of others. He called attention also to tbl
want of silk, and the immense sums paid to China for thav
article. British capital was kept out of India from trea
uncertainty of the tenure of land and the want of al
simple in that country. Encouragement ought to he
to the manufacturers of this country, and he said that 'of
consumption of our mills last year was at the tact attif
43,000 bales of cotton per week, whilst at the close 01
year there were but 281,000 bales of cotton at Livet
of
only -equivalent to six weeks' consumption of the vIP-of
the country. The hon. gentleman then referred Wait
dependence on America, and the evils that might re:wo
to our trade from any change of feeling between the 'coy
countries, and contended that it was as unjust to Pie
as it was unjust and injurious to the trade of this eoglit;00
that facilities were not giien for the cultivation of ca'
In India. 41°1/'

Admiral Walcott gave his commendation to the catlLl'd
celerity, and efficiency that had actuated the Goveroll3o
of Bombay with reverence to Persian affairs, and bore, of
te,timony to the courage, zeal, and ability displale'to
the army and navy in that affair. With regard t°o
China attack, he considered that Admiral Seymour of
used all the forbearance consistent with the circumstsild
but he regretted that he had not a better foe to Onto"
against, for it was very much like using a sledge-10
with which to crush flies.
After some remarks from Sir J. Fitzgerald, ntol
Mr. V. Smith said that, in reply to the stateroe-h of
the hon. member for Sheffield relative to the groiftPol
cotton in India, ho could not add anything to whatbetsos
last night on the subject. He was at a loss to undersd
the object and meaning of the hon. member with rep to
to it, and added that every encouragement was gi/484 Of
its growth that country. It was not the cblvot
Government to undertake the cultivation of cotton'
0 i 6
to give inducements to men of enterprise to undertA

and that the Government would 4:11.
