LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1858.

The Go►ernment of India Bill has been intro-
duced to Parliament in a speech in which the

Chancellor of the Exchequer fully sustained his
well-established reputation, not merely as a bril-

liant orator, but also as one capable of giving the
clearest explanation of his intentions, and of the

nature and effect of the measure about to be sub-

mitted for legislative consideration. There has
been no concealment or ambiguity, and Parliament
and the community at large will have reasonable
time for suggesting any alterations that may be

deemed desirable or expedient. It is nnques-

tionably a decided improvement on the bill intro•
duced by the late Government ; and although we
may not exactly agree with all the details, we must
candidly confess that so far as the future adminis-
tration of affairs in India is concerned, the nation

has sustained no loss in the substitution of Lord

Din for Lord PAIMERSTow. Indeed, the only

complaint which the thick and thin adherents of

the late administration have been as yet enabled

to establish is, that the new men have been far
more liberal than their predecessors. The fiat
bugbear of the Times was, that they would inau-
gurate a retrograde policy. That would have been a
reasonable ground of opposition. Then came the
objection that they would take up and carry the
measures originated by the ex-Government. We
felt very easy on that subject. Provided good
bills were carried it was of comparatively
trivial importance by whom they might be
introduced. Mr. BRIGHT, no mean authority
on the aide of the advanced Liberals,
declared that "no event would occasion him
greater regret than the return to office of the late
Cabinet."
The leading exponents of public opinion have
already expressed their general approval of the
Bill.
