respect to India, on which they might rest their
case. The ex-President of the India Board
winced and writhed under the lash. He again
displayed his petulant insolence, and manifested
even more strongly than ever his total incapacity
and unfitness for office. It is difficult to say
whether ridicule or condemnation prevailed—
both were well merited—he felt that he deserved
them, and lost his temper. He attempted to play
the bully on a small scale, but received a. painful
although salutary lesson, that insolence was not
argument, or unblushing assertion substantial
truth. He couli not, by any amount of raillery,
dispose of the stubborn fact, that he had impro-
perly kept back an important despatch, which he
was bound, by every principle of duty and honour,
to communicate to his successor in office, but
which, after consultation with Lord PALMERSTON,
ho carefully and deliberately suppressed.
The debate will be resumed on Monday, but
although the recognised leaders remain to be
heard, we cannot anticipate any improvement on
the masterly address of Sir Huou M4CALMONT
CAIRNS.

It should be stated that the real majority for
Ministers was ten. One Peer, Viscount FALK-
LAND, voting as Lord HEMSDON, being twice en-
tered—viz., in person, and by proxy.

What course will be pursued by the inde-
pendent Liberals on the factious vote of censure ?
We can easily anticipate what the leaders will do
—what every man with any regard to his political
reputation will consider to be his bounden duty.
But there are small fry seeking for place, and
there is no doubt that the biddings will be high
from the hungry expectants of office. It will, how-
ever, be an unfortunate move for those who suffer
themselves to be seduced by the glittering bait.
The country will judge more justly of the matter
than the cliques, who care but little for the
opinions of their constituencies, so long as there
is not an impending dissolution. But should
there be a hostile vote Lord DERBY will unques-
tionably not resign without an appeal to the
people. Lord PALMERSTON adopted that course li
on a previous occasion, and the result justified
his opinion. We believe that on the present
occasion it would be still more remark-
able, and that there would be even a
greater infusion of new blood. Those
who have as yet explained their views have
spoken clearly and unequivocally. Mr. DILLwYN
and Mr. LINDSAY have shown that they will not
give a factious vote to replace A really
Tory Government, sheltering itself under
a mask of liberality. Never was there
a time when the Liberal cause depended more
on the course pursued by professing Liberals.
As we have already stated, however, the nation
will not be misled by any sophistries that may be
resorted to, in order to justify a factious and un-
warrantable proceeding.

THE CAMBRIDGE HOUSE PLOT.

MEETING AT LORD PALMERSTON'S.

A meeting was held at Cambridge House yes-
terday. Upwards of 200 members of the House
of Commons were present, and considerable
unanimity prevailed. It was agreed that every
effort should be made to turn out the Government,
and the opinion was generally expressed that this
ought to be done, without loss of time. In the
event of a dissolution many of his Lordship's
present friends might find it very inconvenient to
attend another meeting of non-official intriguers !
Indeed, one member with more frankness than was
pleasant expressed a hope that if they succeeded
is their laudable endeavours to effect a turn out,
the new Government would not include such pre-
cious stones as the CLANRICARDE jewel! Where-
upon a murmur of applause and suppressed sobs
of " No ! no 1" mingled with "Hear, hears ! "
rather discomposed the conviviality of the expec-
tants ! What the answer of their Premier was
seemed to awaken a very lively misgiving in some,
while others muttered that the whisper of the
joke was something like—Di, do, dton !

THE SUPPRESSED LETTER.

SECOND EXHIBITION BY MR. SMITH.

Extraordinary as was the statement which Mr.
SMITH delivered on Thursday night, and which
we noticed in our third edition on that day, his
second appearance, in the debate on the CARDWELL
motion, was far more astounding than anything
which we have yet heard, even from that Right
Honourable Gentleman.

Our readers will learn, by referring to Mr.
SMITH'S speech, by comparing it with his former
statement, to what a painful course of dishonesty
and equivocation the Right Honourable Gentle-
man has been committed by an inordinate appetite
for place.

As to the points on which Mr. SMITH'S second
statement is utterly at variance with the first, we
shall not, at present, attempt any discussion. We
shall await with patience the fifth version of this
strange story, which will probably differ from its
predecessors as much as they do from each other.

Mr. SMITH'S remarks were received with deri-
sive cheers, which indicated the conviction of the
House that he and Lord PALMERSTON have been
guilty of a base intrigue to keep Lord ELLENBO-
ROUGH in ignorance of the real position of our
Indian empire.

Lord DERBY'S remarks upon this subject were
admirable, and no one who hoard them can avoid
suspecting that this is not the only one of Lord
CANNING'S letters which the ex-Ministers have
shamefully suppressed.

g, &TEST NEWS.

INDIA AND CHINA,

By the arrival of the Calcutta mail we have received
our private correspondence and files of papers from
Calcutta to the 10th of April, and from Hong Kong to
the 29th of March. The following is the letter of our
Calcutta correspondent :

"CALCUTTA, APRIL 10.
" It seems clear that wo have a hot weather campaign
upon our hands. The sepoys, some 3,000 expected, have
escaped, and are swarming into Rohilcund and the
provinces east of Benares. Bareilly overflows with them
and with the armed ruffians who, beaten everywhere,
still congregate wherever there is a chance of plunder or
of anarchy. Bahadoor Khan is rapidly building up a
regular administration., collecting revenue, founding
families, strikinc, coin in his own name. All the
discontented seek his protection, and leader after
leader, the Nana being the first, submit to a man
risen from the ranks. He has, I am told, a strong
body of cavalry, in which he reposes great con-
fidence, soma 25,000 Sepoys, and a❑ armed rabble
which may be estimated at any number you please
to fix. A week of victory would bring it up to a
hundred thousand, and a day's reverse reduce is to a
few desperate fanatics. There is a strong desire in
some quarters not to attack him till the cold weather.
Our troops, it is argued, will melt away ; we are too
few to invest the province, and the Sepoys, the
nucleus of the rebellion, will again escape, as they
lid from Delhi aid Lucknow. It would be better
to wait for reinforcements and pour down in
cold weather in irresistible strength. On the other
hand, it is said the existence of one province in
rebellion keeps the remainder in eieitement, encour-
ages the disaffected, fosters plotting, and prevents
the ro-estab'ishment of order, now as necessary for
:he people as for us. To remain inactive during
the hot weather is, moreover, peculiarly dangerous.
Che natives usually select the hot weather for activeope-
rations because they know it paralyses the Europeans.
They did so in the last great war in the Punjab. They
did so last year, and there are apprehensions, vague, but
not groundless, that they way do so this. These reasons,
I am informed, have prevailed, and the hot-weather cam-
paign is to be commenced at once. The Commander. in-
Chief has evidently distributed his army with this view.
Eight thousand men-6,500 of them Europeans—re-
main in Lucknow under Sir H. Grant. Goruckpore,
Cawnpore, Benares, Allahabad, and Dinapore have
been weakly garrisoned, and the ref, a ning R. 000
Europeans and 2,500 natives proceed to the North-
West—that is, to Rohilcund. The head-quarters
lre transferred to Cawnpore, and Sir Colin
Campbell is expected to command the great attack in
person. His plans, however, have been somewhat dis-

arranged by an unfortunate incident.
" Colonel Milman, with 350 of her Majesty's 37th,
200 Madras Infantry, and 400 Madras Cavalry, was or-
dered from Allahabad to reinforce Azimghur. He
diverged towards the Oude frontier, as I previously in-
formed you, to attack Atrowba, and encounter Koer
Singh, who, with 800 followers, 1,200 of them sepoys,
was rushing from Oude homewards to Behar. Col. Mil-
man, full, I presume, of European ideas, thought it im•
possible to resist such a force, abandoned his camp, made
a forced march of 40 miles and flunpaiimself into
Azimghur. Kota- Singh, delighted, followed at speed;
and Colonel Millman deceived, some say, by reports
as to the fidelity Of his Madras cavalry, instead
of defending the city, abandoned it, and retired
into a little mud fort on the opposite side of the plain.
Koer Singh followed and besieged him. The garrison
had no supplies, and a sortie was suggested by the
younger officers. It was made and mismanaged, and
the garrison found themselves back in the fort with
Izimghur lost, Captain Bedford and 11 Europeans
killed, and enemy all round. The Govornor-General
immediately ordered General Franks, with some 300
Europeans collected at Benares, to raise the siege.
This might have been done, but the Commander-in-
Chief, unaware of this plan, telegraphed an order pro.
iiibiting all offensive operations, and ordering the gar-
rison to await the arrival of a column from Oude.
Accordingly, General Franks proceeded on his way
to England—he is very ill—sod Sir E. Lugard, with
a column of 4,000 men, has left Lucknow. The march
will occupy 14 days, and the enemy, driven out of
Azimghur, must of necessity retreat to the south-
,t, A portion of the column will therefore, it is said,
oroceed rapidly to Benares, advancing, if necessary, to
Patra. There are no troops available to protect Behar
toe we cannot leave Calcutta without a regiment, the

I eCrUltq' 1,000 of whom have just arrived per Jason, are
not yet fit for service, and the only other regiment, the
19th, is engaged watching the disarmed regiments at
airrackpore. I doubt if Koer Singh, once beaten, can

keep hie men togeth,r, but the affair is considered serious,
and Behar, with its opium factories, is left very much
-xposed. Panics have, of course, si r.ad t 1 roughthesta-
tions of the province, but Sir E. Lugard is an excellent

officer, and the danger cannot be bug protracted. It
places our true difficulty, however, in a strong light.
These districts must be garrisoned after they are won,
and we have not the force to do the work. There are
upwards of 40 of them, exclusive of Bengal Proper, all '
in more or less danger, and ♦arying in eizs from districts
as large as Scotland to districts as small as Suffolk.
Each requires for the present one wing of an European
regiment. Where are they to come from I Certainly
not from the force now in the country, for Sir Colin
Campbell, after garrisoning only a few stations, cannot
collect more than 8,000 Europeans for the attack on
Ilohilcund. We need more men if the war is to be
brought to an early termination. It was want of men
whice frustrated the operations before Lucknow—so
frustrated them, that officers of experience hold our posi-
' tion actually worse than before we entered Oude. This
no doubt, an unju-t view, dicta'ed in pert by tl
dislike a section of the army feel Sir Colin Campbell.
It is, however, I fear thus far correct, that we have to
defeat an enemy as strong as before, and scattered over
a very much wider surface.
" I must mention that the escape of the sepoys has
for the time impaired the confidence of the army in Sir
Cohn Campbell. The soldiers cannot, or will not, see
that, had the sepoys been surrounded and they bad
fought with the desperation they showed in the de-
tached houses by the river bank, we should have suf-
fered a loss which would have left the Sikhs and
Ghoorkas masters of the situation, The Commander-
in-Chief had that ci:ntingency to think of as well as mere
victoryl
" Jung Bahadoor proceeds with his army to Fyz thud,
a stronghold almost as great as Lucknow, and held by
some 30,000 men. It is watched rather than menaced by
Colonel Re wcrof, with Captain Sotheby's Naval Brigade
and some 900 Ghoorkas. Jung is at Allahabad on a
visit to the Governor-General, and is said to be anxious
to avoid a hot weather campaign. His mountaineers
suffer nearly as much as we do, and he and his officers
are nervously desirous net to return with greatly dimi-
nished numbers. He may be induced to remain, but
to attack Fyzabad he will need Europeans.
Sir John Lawrence has left Delhi for Lahore, having
submitted full proposals to Government for the military
and political defence of the territory. Arrange-
ments for the management of the confiscated
estates, Jhujhur, Dadree, and Bahadoorgurh—they
are as big as most English counties—have been com-
pleted. The prize property has been delivered over, and
exceeds already 40 lees of rupees (400,0000 The Mili-
tary Commission judger rebels daily by the score,
though of course with less of severity, but they have
still 1,500 to try. The Mahomedans have been ad-
mitted into the city, and ord r is gradually restored.
"I* Bengal there is little doing, but the Coles are
still restless, and about ten days ago a great battle was
fought between 50 sailors from Chyebaesa on one side,
and 4,000 Coles on the other. The Coles were beaten,
of course, but they fought angrily and had a few flint
muskets.

GOVERNMENT OE INDIA.

HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, MAY 14.

DIVISION.

Moved to resolve
1. That it appears from papers laid upon the table of this
House that a despatch has been addressed by the Secret
Committee of the Court of Directors to the Governor-
General of India, disapproving a proclamation which
the Governor-General had informed the Court he in-
tended to issue after the fall of Lecknow.
2. That it is known only from intelligence that has reached
this country by correspondence published in newspapers
that the intended proclamation has been issued, and
with an important modification, no official account of
this proceeding having yet been received; that this
House iv, therefore, still without full information as to
the grounds on which Lord Canning has acted, and his
answer to the objections made to his intended proclama-
tion in the despatch of the Secret Committee cannot be
received for several weeks.
3. That under these circumetancesthis House is unable to
form a judgment on the proclamation issued by Lord
Canning, but thinks it right to express its disapprobation
of the premature publication by her Majesty's Ministers
of the despatch addressed to the Governor-General, since
this publio condemnation of his conduct is calculated to
weaken the authority of the Governor-General of India,
and to encourage those who are now in arms against this
country.—(The Earl of Shaftesbury.)
Objected to, and a question stated thereupon ; after long
debate, the previous question was moved by the Lord
Chancellor, and put, i.e., " Whether the said question
shall now be put ?" Resolved in the negative.
