THE SUN.
LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 3, 1880.

It was at length, thank Heaven, decided quite
definitively by the House of Commons last evening
that One Imperial Army shall henceforth hold
possession of the British dominions. 2he Rouse
that John Built—as an i4Aenious writer in the
3urrent 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
the 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 Roi.
It is the last promotion decided upon at the Horse
Guards—Tier 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 i'

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 feel
is absolutely conclusive. 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 seconi stage towards the goal of its perfect'
tug 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 face 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
i.e of them) help, like the drowning man, catching
alf
t 'very straw convulsively. Dying thus hard—
they have at length been summarily finished off by
the coup de grace of last night's Division.
There willconseri
in India, but
uently be no longer a local Euro-
pean army the forces in Hindostan will
constitute from this time forth but an integral
portion of one imperial army holding possession of
all our world-vide dominions.
Thuepopnrobable in-
crease of expenditure consequent
h
reasona'ule determination has been calculatedtis m
to toisiet
utmost nicety- -as nearly at least as might be upon
a more anticipation. According to Mr. HAI.I•IICIi'S
estimate, the precise additional charge will amount''
a
under X 200,000; supplementary
to something
sum, however, -which the Secretary of State judi-
ciously- reminded. the House of Commons yesterday
might be considerably and appreciably diminished.
Than Sir CIIIARLES -WOOD'S Ministerial state-
ment as to the whole question, at the
close of last night's decisive debate, nothing
could well have been more clear, more cogent, or
more convincing. One exception after another was
