LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 30, 185

The adjourned debate on the affairs of Ceylon, or
more correctly speaking, on the proposed impeach-
ment of Lord TORRINGTON, was last night brought
to a conclusion. The House divided at a late hour,
w tten, as we had anticipated, Mr. }LILLIE'S resolu-
tions were rejected by a decisive majority of 80 votes,
tl3ere being 202 for and 282 against the motion. We
r ?fljoice to find that many Hon. Gentleman responded
to the heart-stirring appeal of the Hon. and Learned
GE ntleman the Member for Cork, and refrained from
inflicting a wound upon the Ministry with which
they were dissatisfied, through the person of the
Noble Lord, who was set up as the butt to be shot
at, against whose honour, character, and reputation,
(611 in fact that renders life valuable, every shaft
might be aimed with impunity.
The motion was ingeniously framed for the pur-
pose of catching all stray votes, of arraying under
the standard of the Honourable Gentleman the
.Vember for Inverness-shire all those (and their
n ame is legion) who were discontented with the ad-
ariinistration of the Colonial-office, and of the party
who style themselves philanthropists, believing that
any unnecessary severity, more particularly if it pro-
ce ed to the extent of capital punishments, must be
di mrecated—who think that insurrection can be sup-
pressed, and rebels and insurgents brought back to
thieir allegiance by soothing speeches, and rose-
water measures ; and that an important possession
of the Crown should be hazarded rather than strin-
gent measures of retaliation should be adopted
against those who had deliberately and wantonly
arisen against the existing Government of the country.
It is exceedingly fortunate for Lord TORRINGTON
that he has been thus placed upon his defence
before the Parliament and people of Great
Britain. The vacillating policy of the Government,
the shiftings and evasions more worthy of Old
Bailey practitioners than the Ministers of a mighty
'nation, reflected a certain degree of discredit upon
their employee, on whose behalf it was supposed they
bad resorted to such palpable and indefensible
xnanosuvres. Had the matter rested there, it would
'have been impossible to have completely exonerated
Lord TORRINGTON from the grave and formidable
'charges preferred against him. He would have
been held responsible for every act of omission or
commission properly chargeable against the Colonial-
office, and it would have been unjustly conceived
that the practical impunity accorded to his misdeeds
was ascribable to his close relationship to the First
Lord of the Treasury, and to the exercise of an un-
pardonable nepotism.
On the contrary, now that the real facts of the
case are made patent to the world—that Sergeant
MURPHY'S vigorous and powerful defence of his noble
friend has been circulated throughout the length and
breadth of the land—it is known that Lord TORRINO'
TON, in place of being worthy of censure and punish-
ment, has justly merited the thanks and gratitude
of his country for the vigorous and efficient
steps adopted, under circumstances of great difficulty
—steps which proved so eminently successful as for a
time, and to a superficial observer to convey the idea
that they were not essential to the safety and protec-
tion of the
.Colony. His character has been tho-
roughly vindicated ; his name, as a statesmanlike and
judicious Governor, has been placed in a position much
_higher than his most sanguine friends could have anti-
cipated. The charges and accusations preferred against
have been subjected to the most stringent and
searching investigation, and have not only been unsus-
tained by evidence, but clearly and distinctly rebutted
in every material point. It is now known that the mat-
ters so justly complained of respecting the management
of the case in the earlier stages of the proceedings are
not fairly ascribable to Lord TORRINGTON ; and hap
py -
•1 for himself and for his future tranquillity, he has
not been sacrificed to the imbecility and weakness of
Ministers—the second victim of an illustrious family
—and that escape is solely owing to the pertinacity
and determination of his accusers.

Having thus, we hope, finally and conclusively
disposed of the case of the ex-Governor of
Ceylon, we must express our anxious desire
that Ministers will proceed vigorously during
the remainder of the session, now that the
rock ahead has been fairly weathered, and
that they have avoided the breakers which pre-
sented so ominous and threatening an aspect.
There can be no excuse for further delays or
Procrastination. The session of 1851 must present

but when we fin:l that their example is infectious, and
that even the Hon. and Gallant Member for Lincoln,
and some of his friends have been following the
improper example set to them, we conceive it incum
bent on the House to adopt immediate measures ade.
quate to the emergency, and calculated to abate that
which has grown into an intolerable nuisance.

An event of scarcely less interest than the opening
of the Great Exhibition took place yesterday. Mr.
liVrLD's Great Model of the World (descriptions of
which, extracted from the columns of each of our co-
temporaries, will be found in another portion of The
Sun of this evening) was yesterday opened to view,
and the contemplation of this unique and wonderful
work is calculated to excite even a greater degree of

In the House of Commons last night,
Mr. CRAWFORD took the oaths and his seat for Harwich.
The adjourned debate on Mr. BAILLIE'S Ceylon resolutions,
was resumed by Sir J. W. HoGo, who contended that the
conduct of Lord TORRINGTON had been not only justifiable
throughout, but praiseworthy, and that Earl GREY was fully
justified in expressing his approval of that conduct.
Sir FREDERICK THxsIGER considered that the proceedings
of the Governor, more especially as regarded the confiscations,
were illegal; and, therefore, he should vote in favour of the
resolutions.
Col. DUNNE, as the friend of Col. DROUGHT, warmly de-
fended the gallant officer from the aspersions which the sup-
porters of the resolutions had attempted to cast on him.
Mr. Hawas denied that any confiscations' had been made,
and contended that the proclamation of martial law and the
sequestrations were justified by the circumstances of the
case. All the military and civil authorities of the colonies
had approved of the proclamation of martial law. Lie con-
sidered that no case had been made out either against Lord
TORRINGTON or EarlE
GREY.
Mn To considered the resolutions as a vote of

rebellion entirely the energetic measures adopted by Lord
Tonnucarox. He next referred to a
_charge which had been
brought against Lord TORRINGTON, by Mr. HUME, in the
previous night's debate, that letters had been burned which
had not been produced before the Committee. The Hon.
and Learned Member then read a letter from Lord ToR-

Lord Homix vindicated the character of the Committee
against the charge of being desirous of adopting any course
to screen the Noble Secretary for the Colonial Department.
Lord J. RussieLL defended the Government and Lord
TORRINGTON. Witheut going into the minutia of the ques-
tion, he would simply say that Lord TORRINGTON had, in
the face of dissensions among the colonial servants, and a
deficiency of 8,0001. in the revenue, succeeded in placing the
finances in a satisfactory position, put down a firmidable
rebellion, removed the causes which led to it, and rendered
the government of the colony easy to his successor. He
thought that these facts were sufficient to justify both the
Governor and the Ministry that appointed him.
Mr. Disitaxti considered that the question they had to
d ecide was, whether or not the Government of Ceylon had
bo en properly administered, and if not, then the Colonial
Secretary was responsible for its mis-government.

The House then adjourned at a quarter to Three.
