THE— GOVERNMENT MEASURE.
The Duke of RICHMOND, in presenting a petition
from some town, the name of which we did not hear, it
the county of Warwick, said that the petitioners were
interested in the subject of the ribbon manufacture, the
old and only established staple trade of the county. They
viewed with great alarm the proposals likely to be made
by Government in another place, and as they were in fa-
vour of protection themselves they desired protection to
the agriculture of the country. He (the DuCe
of Richmond) was very happy to present such a
petition, because it showed that the operatives of
the country were expressing their disapprobation of
the violent changes sought to be introduced by
the Government. He considered that the result of the
late elections gave sufficient proof that the farmers were
up and in earnest, and that should the measure, intro-
duced in another place, come up to that House, their
Lordships would be justified, in the exercise of
constitional right, to place themselves between the violent
faction which urged on these charges and the best inte
rests of the country.
THE WAR IN INDIA.

The Earl of RIPON laid upon the table certain
papers from the seat of war in India.
The Duke of RICIIMOSD wished to ask the Noble
Lord (and in doing so, he felt deep gratitude for the
bravery and devotion exhibited by the army in India),
whether it was by desire that the Governor-General had
accepted a secondary position in the Indian army. It
might be very natural for Sir H. Hardinge, an old soldier,
to wish to be in the thick of the battle, but he (the
Duke of Richmond) felt that a divided authority might
be prejudicial to the interests of the country and the
honour of the British arms.
The Earl of RIPON said that due attention would
be given by her Majesty's Government to the suggestion
of the Noble Duke.
