were obliged to pass through the ',
whose charges were exorbitant—not less than 15 per
cent. The eomplaint against the present system was
general. The Pasha of Egypt could send his goods to
India without the intervention of agents, and he saw
no reason why the British merchant should not be able
to do so also, consideriag the facility which the
railways in India would afford for . the transmission
of goods, and the bringing of purchasers and dealers
in more' immediate connection with one another. He
thought that anything that operated as an impediment,
should, it' possible, be removed.
EAST INDIA APPOINT3fENTS.
Mr. JoriEt,l said there was another subject to which be
wished to refer. The company were about to suppress
the establishment at Haileybury, whereby a saving of
about 10,000 a-3 'ear would be effected. It appeared to
him that:this sum could not be better appropriated than
in the endowment of scholarships in India, where the
natives might qualit.'v themselves to undergo the exami-
nation which was required for the appointment to office
in their own country.
Hr. LEWIN said that, in reference to this subject, a
petition had been transmitted to this country from India,
signed by 13,000 native British subjects, complaining
of the injustice done them in regard to the examinations
required of persons previously to holding civil service in
India, and praying that the whole management might be
separated from the East India Company and placed under
the Secretary of State, subject to the control of Parlia-
ment.
The Court then adjourned.
