With respect to the plan in agitation for improving
the communication with India, it is understood that the silence
of the deputation which waited on Sir John Hobhouse on
Thursday last does not arise from an unfavourable reception
of their propositions, nor from their being met by any counter
propositions, but solely from a personal feeling towards the
Board of Control and the Chairman of the Court of Direc-
tors, who could not be expected, in the opinion of the Com-
mittee, to state anything definite on so important a subject
with respect to what the decision may be of the bodies they
represent. They now feel at case, it seems, as to the good-
will of the Government towards them, but they are still in
some uncertainty how far they may reckon on equal co-opera-
tion from the East India Company. They affirm, however,
that they have not been called upon to deviate from their own
plan ; and further, that considering themselves with respect
to it the organ of the British commercial interest at large, they
will not on any account whatever be induced to abandon that
plan. More detailed information than this they not feel
themselves justified in giving at present. The Committee are
in communication with the chief commercial towns in the
kingdom on this project, and in general receive assurances
of support, coupled with the approbation of the steps they are
taking. An application from the Chamber of Commerce of
Mancester has already been made to the Lords of the Trea-
sury, pointing out the imperfect state of the communications
with India, and urging some improvement. This body do not
espouse any particular plan, but are disposed to leave the mat-
ter in the hands of Government; but this a most mistaken
notion, for all experience of the past has shown that this great
object is only to be accomplished by a grand combination of
private merchants, and that the Government, though they
may be induced to assist in any object so supported, will never
be able to manage the details, or take the lead in any project
of the kind. It is expected that the Chamber of Commerce
of Glasgow will support the present plan, which has been
submitted to them, but has not yet been taken into considera-
tion. A resolution has been passed by the Common Council
of the great manufacturing town of Paisley, in favour of the
route by the Red Sea. The whole of the trading interest of
the country will, in the course of a few days, be engaged in
the consideration of this important project ; and there must
be, on the part of the Ministry, a most singular power of re-
sistance to public opinion, if they are not soon found to do
something decisive,—Morning Paper.
