GOVERNMENT OF INDIA.

The committee on the India resolutions was resumed
by
Lord STANLEY, who moved that, with a view to
the efficiency and independence of the Council, it was
expedient that it should- be partly nominated and partly
elected. Ho proposed that the elective part should be
elected by the proprietors of stocks and shares, and re-
tired Indian officers.

Lord J. RUSSELL objected to the elective part of
the resolution, and moved as an amendment that the
whole Council should be nominated by her Majesty in
Council.

Sir J. GRA.TIAM was opposed to legislation at the
present moment, and urged d,lay. Lord Ellenborough
was against the chan;;e proposed, and he (Sir J. Graham)
had no doubt such was the opinion of Lord Dalhont.ie.
The mutiny was not quelled, and he was afraid
there were as many men in thr the
northern parts of India as when the mutiny broke out.
The correspondence of the London journals, though
graphically describing events, was well worthy of their
considerati n as showing the state of affairs in that Go-
vernment. He did not consider this a fitting time fur

change. When a State tottered or an empire was
shaken, they found those at least able to build up and
save were the most swift to pull down and destroy, The
decision of the majority in that house must be given effect
to, and in making the change, the minimum amount of
change should be taken—they ehonli make the council
in the main as like the present Court of Directors as
possible. It was impossible to have a better council,
and he concurred in the opinion of his right hon. friend
the member for Halifax, who, above all others, was The
best man to deal with this question. He did not believe
the present machinery cumbrous and ineffectual. He
denied that the East India Company bad shown symp-
toms of decay ; and he thought it would ultimately turn
out that delay was act on the side of the company.
Having reselvel there should be a change of govern,
nient for India,, the next was to consider what
that change should be, and he was opinion the
change should be small, and not to a great extent.
as Lading to the belief in India of a reversal of the past
and present policy adopted in that country, or the con-
sequences might be most lamentable. He considered
the council should be between 12 and 15 ; that they
should be nominated in the bill, and hold their offices
daring good behaviour, and that a large number of the
present Board of Directors should be selected for the
council ; their salaries should be 1,5001., and a retiring
pension after ten sears' service. To ensure promptitude
and tfficienPy there should be a secret committee.

(LEFT SPEAKING.)

C:tIDIINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

The June sessions cf the Central Criminal Court nom;
menced this morning. There were on the bench the
Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Alderman and Sheriff Law-
rence, Alderman and Sheriff Allen, Alderman Sir
George enroll, Alderman Challis, Mr. Under Sheriff
Maiilard, Mr. Under Sheriff Parker, the Rev. John
Davis,
There was some difficulty in obtaining a grand jury,
and this gave rise to some,conversation in reference to
the manner of issuing the summonses. One gentleman
who was called, stated that he has served during the
present year at Westminster, and that together he
had served seven days during the last year.. He did not
think that oat of so large a population liable to serve,
he should be called upon twice in the same year. In
answer to the Recorder, Mr. Kemp said it was the prat,
tice of the sheriffs to divide the list of persons liable to
serve into four parts, so that each person was called
upon about every four years. The Recorder remarked
that he was aware of thefact that a great number of peo-
ple whose names were ,on the jury list were never sum
moved atall, an is qu.ry he thought should take place into
the system under which such arrangements were made.
Another gentleman whose name was called said he
thought there malt be some mistake, as he was neither

was fined 101., but t on

violence there had been a marked decrease during the
last few years. In the present session there was not a
single case of murder cr manslaughter. In the &psi.
thins laid before him there was one case of forgery at ,
common law—it was the case of the forgery of a certifi
cate to obtain a place in the police. There would be no
difficulty in the case, and ho only adverted to it that it
might be more known than perhaps it was, that this
was an offence, and that any one committing it, %MS
liable to punishment under the criminal law.

The Grand Jury then retired to their room.
