CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA.

Earl STA:tutor% stated, he had a'number of Pe-
tit,- !roll) niderent parts".oi the country to pre-
sent, respecting the further diffisnin. of Christian
Jinowledge in India, the counties of Wilts,
'Yorkshire, LaneaSh;re, Wales, and'so fortl . lie
observed that the Re,,olution voted by the 'House
of Commons was in favour of the:Object of the
PetitiOners, " by fill itu,t and prudent muns:'
Such were its tvotal, and the Petitioners convey-
ed tipeir tinfeined approbation of that sentiment.
Pis' Lordship tlien, presented the Petitions; the
various titles Of being read, they were.
ordered to lie an the' table.
Earl. GuosvENolt stated, he had also a variety of
Petition's iopreBeut on the same subject, um'. ex-
presSed his hope that .if the'Bill passed at all; it.
piISS in its prelient shape, WWI reference to.
the subieet of these Petitions,. The Noble Earl.
then presented the Petitioni alluded to, which,
in like manner, were ordered to lie on the table.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE took occasion to ex-
press his hope, that the consideration to which
the Petitions referred Would'not, in any manner,
be made a inatter of -Governinent interference, as
attempts at any exercise of power, in such a thing,
would, instead of prothoting the cause 'of. Chris-
tianity, oecasiOn the loss of our territorial posses-
siOns in.: that (piarter in a quicker %way than it
otherwise might happen. . .
The Earl of BUCK I NGTIAMS if RE. disclaimed any
f !ea of the kind on the part.of the , Government ;
and; in order to remove all doubts from the minds
of the natives on that head, there was, for the
first time, a Chime, in the Bill, expressly prohi-
biting the Government of that Country from in-
,
• tcrfering.
- 'flit Earl of LtainnanAtx, then presented seve-
ral Petitions to the effect of the foregoing ones;
as did Lord, CALTTIORrE ; all which were disposed
..if in the usual way,
MOCK AUCTION BILL.

. On the question for the second reading of this
The Earl of LAUDE3DALL;pitrsuant to his no-
tice, opposed the meaimre,:' fie noticed that the
rej'ecrelg by the other douse, contained some
saintpry Clausei, . for the object of preventing
those an,A injurious results to the
fah tradyr, which arole from the practice of
Mock Auctions, and 01 Itetierant Anetioocera,
not only throughout tliie country, but in the me-
tropolis itself ; pro,'isions-of that kind, be in vain
sought for in theprefent Bill. And having ex-
patiated on the injuriclus tendency of such pm-
' tices;: the suppression bf which, he thought, the
bill, by, uo. means -wejit tb effectuate, he should
therefore move, that itt be read a third time thlc
day three months, whit b, on the question being
put,, Was ordered aceorelingly.

The Earl of Bocizi INGEL‘msiltur, rose, for the
plirpoSe of moving the second reading of the Bill.
iA Lordship plefaced ,his motion with a C.olllpri -
Ittnsi ye and appeOpriai t`e speech (but of which,
.•ay itd) as Of the disco: 6,i00 that ensued, our li-
mits rcstrain. us to a brief and general notice.)
The Noble Earl did not :conceive it necessary to
go into the subject at ally length, as the resoln.
tions, on which the in tasure %yds founded, were
long under' the , consideration of their Lord-
and met With the it• decided approbation.-,-
one of the prominent c, Mtsiderations of the pro-
posed system was; the I ',l!eping separate and dis-
tinct the political.and co;punercial concerns of the
Company.. This was pen deemed particularly
necessary, as, in time, kite separation would be
found ex4remely difficult ;• His Lordship then re- '
ferred to the: arrangeme ;tits which were made re-
specting the Commercia I Proceeds of the territo vial revenues whieh, thotigh not provided for
in the Bill, in the laug, !lige of the Resolutions,
yet the former did'not, in that point), materially ,
deviate froM the ploinci‘ Ole of the latter. To il-
lw3trate these positions, the 'Noble Earl entered
into Sonce detai!ed ; and towards the
dose of his expbsiiion, he noticed ,the provisions
in the Bill for a better ad 'ruin' itration ofjustice to
the mitiees of 'lndia.
