There is evidently work enough before the new
Indian Secretary and his Council, if they are dis-
posed to do it ; and Lord STANLEY is not the
man we take him to be if, before Parliament
meets again, he have dot initiated some measures
in the administration of India itself, which will
not allow his name to be soon forgotten, or his
services lightly dispensed with. His z3al as a
social reformer will now be, and ought to be,
absorbed in reforming the condition of the mil-
lions of ludia. That is quite charge enough,
and more than enough, for any man ; and we
only hope that he will give himself to it with the
patient diligence in mastering the facs and de.
tails of a case, and with the single-minded
honesty for which the young Statesman has
already acquired a deserved reputation.
We have but just called his attention to the
horrible manner in which our courts are made
instrumental in the sale of very young Maio-
medan girls for purposes of prostitution, and of
their offspring for perpetual slavery. We gave,
in our impression of yesterday, an extract from a
letter, written by a Calcutta missionary of high
standing and long Indian experience, whose
name we are not at liberty to give, but whose

about them, we could very soon inflict summary

courts themselves, as that we refer to.
