THE SUN.
LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 3, 1860.

It was at length, thank Heaven, decided quite i
definitively by the House of Commons last evening
that One Imperial Army shall henceforth hold
possession of the British dominions. The Rouse
that John Built—as an ingenious writer in the
zurrent number of the Cornhill has facetiously
dubbed the grand Anglo-Asiatic fabric inhabited
erstwhile by that alternately thrifty and thriftless
stepson, as we may call him, of JOHN BULL,
yclepped JOHN COMPANY—is certainly being
razed to its foundations. The half-disciplined,
lavishly-paid, and occasionally mutinous forces of
H.E.I.C.S. are now to all intents and purposes
as entirely of the past as CESAR'S tenth legion, or
the Pyrrhic phalanx. Le Roi est mort—vive le Rol.
It is the last promotion decided upon at the Horse
Guards—Her Majesty's Forces vice those of the
dead and gone H.E.I.C. The Old Indian cause
has died game, it must be admitted, in this parti-
cular ; but—game or not game—it has died ! The
last and fatal paroxysm of convulsion seized it
last night in the House of Commons. It had the
best possible advice—but, as they say in the fami-
liar rustic epitaph " physicians was in vain"—and
so we have an end of it at last (not, however, until
after a great deal of trouble), and may now confine
our attentions to the task of giving its attenuated

remains decent sepulture.
The division of last night, in point of fact,
is absolutely conclasive. After a discussion un-
usually ample and tedious even for this " weariful"
session of 1860, the Bill objected to by the Old In-
dians (thus at their last gasp) was passed through
its second stage towards the goal of its perfect'
ing into an enactment—as many as 282 having
voted for that second reading, and as few as 53
against it ! Otherwise to put this resolute proceed-
ing on the part of the Commons, a clear majority
of 229 in a house of 340 (including Tellers and
Speaker)—i.e., more than five to one in favour of the
grand simple, rational project of amalgamation !
Everything that could possibly be done to retard
this discussion has been done with implacable
determination. Papers have been moved for—
amendments proposed—debates adjourned. Always
by a ludicrous minority ! But conscious though
the minority could not but be during this long
while past that their chances were just nil—were
actually_ hopeless—they could not (literally for the
life of them) help, like the drowning man, catching
at
every straw convulsively. Dying thus hard—
they have
at length been summarily finished off by
the coup de grace of last night's Division.
There will consequently be no longer a local Euro-
pean army in India, but the forces in Hindostan will
constitute from this time forth but an integral
portion of one imperial holding possession of
all our world-wide dory
"S. The probable in-
crease of exp,mditure consequent upon this most
reasonable determination has been calculated to the
utmost nicety—as
nearly at least as might be upon
a mere anticipation. According to Mr.iIAMMACK'S
estimate, the precise additional charge will amount
to somethingunder £200,000; a supplementary
State
sum, however, which the Secretary of
judi-
ciously reminded the House of Commons yesterday
might be considerably and appreciably diminished.
Than Sir CHAS:LES WOOD'S Ministerial state-
ment the whole question, at the
as to
night's decisive debate, nothing
close of last
could well have been more clear, more cogent, or
One exception after another wag
more convincing.
