NOTICE OF MOTIONS.

Lord J. MANNERS gave notice that, on the second
reading of the Education Bill, he should move that it
be read a second time that day six months.
Mr. BEATING gave notice that, on the sth of July,
he should move the following resolution, viz., that, ie.
ferring to the report of the select committee on dock-
yard promotions, and the evidence upon which
it is founded, this house is of opinion that
during the administration of the late Board of
Admiralty dockyard !promotions, sand the influence of
the
Admiralty were used and exercised for political pur-
poses to an extent and in a manner calculated to throw
discredit on that department of the Government, and
impair the efficiency of the service.
THE INDIAN COMMITTEE.
Mr. HINDLEY wished to ask the President of the
Board of Control, whether it is the intention of the
Government, inonethezent of the passing of the India
Bill that the co
on India shall be terminated,
or whether they shall be continued until the committee
agree to a final report.
Sir C. WOOD said he had no intention to interrupt
the proceedings of the committee
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL.
the adjourned
forlnrdesiautllg
On the order of the day
debate on the Government of
Mr. COBDEN rose and said he had withdrawn
him-
self from the committee which had just been referredto
because the introduction of thisa bill was tantaraount'to
prejudging theg uestion which had been referred to it. I twas
not his intention to sit on this committee unless he was
forced by the house to do so, or the amendment now be-
fore the house was carried. There ought to be further
inquiry, and in that opinion he was borne out by
the ,people of Manchester and all the best
authorities on the subject. He was strongly
opposed f
to the continuance of the double form of govern-
ment, as it neither benefitted India nor England.
This double form of Government was the John

Doe and Richard Roe of India—(a laugh)—and was
just as much an abuse or a shame as these gentry were
when they incumbered our courts of law. (Hear hear.)
This question of double government had been disposed
of before the committee by Mr. Halliday, one of
the ablest officers in the service, of the East India Com-
pany, who strongly protested against it, as did
also Mr. Marshman, another oracle of the Company.
What he wanted was, that the Government of India
should be placed in a tangible shape before the world,
so that the public could get it, and that public
opinion might be brought to bear upon it, when there
would be some chance of getting abuses corrected and
improvements effected. (Hear, hear.)
