TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 27, 1858.

with the Government. (Hear, bear.) He did lilt believe
that the noble lord the member for Tiverton regretted
that he had ever meddled with the East India Com-
pany, and that if the past could be forgotten,
there were very few members in that house who
would care to revive what had been done in reference
to the new government of India. An eminent writer bad
remarked, that to form a new government for India was
as difficult a task as to build a tree, and be believed those
who had meddled with Indian matters of late had found
this tree-building a very difficult operation. (Hear.)
Mr. WARREN thought that in the bill a mighty
stride rad been made on a momentous brat,ch of legis-
lation, and that the highest credit was due to Lord John
Russell for making the whole house a party to legisla-
tion in this respect by preceedieg by resolution, thus
clearing the way from all party considerations, and from
all appearance of faction. (Hear, hear.) He was of opi-
nion that they might now look for a rapid extension of
Christianity in India, but that civilisation, he considered,
should be based on C4ristiata principle, and that all undue
concessions should be withdrawn.
Mr. T. SMITH expressed a hope that the house
would go into the consideration of the Lords' amend-
ments; without going into the general question. He
would not, therefore, put the questions he bad proposed
to the noble lord (the President of the Beard of Con-
trol), as the noble lord had stated that he (Mr.
Smith) should have an opportunity of making a
statement on
.the subject en Friday next. The goes-
tiees were as follows : Whether the 17,000 men
sent to India since January last included any troops re-
quested to be added to the establishment in India by the
di rectors of the Eist It dm Campaey ? Whether be will
state the terms and objects of the commission to inquire
into the reorganisation of the Indian army What
is the amount borrowed under the Indian Loan Act
of this session, and whether the amount allowed
to he borrowed under the act will cover the expenses
of the current year, or if bills are now drawn
upon India in the usual method ; and, whether any in-
struction-, have been sent, or will be sent, to proclaim
her Majesty's name and authority in India, and to an-
nounce the intentions of the government as to non-
interference with the religion of the natives ? The right
hon. gentleman stated briefly the reasons which had in-
duced Lord Palmerston's administration to interfere
with the question of Indian government.
Lord J. RUSSELL, adverting to a remark of Mr.
Mangles, that he did not expect much longer to be a
member of the terse, in anticipation of his election as a
mem ier of the new Indian Council, expressed his regret
that the members of that body were prohbited from
sitting in the House of Commons.
General THOMP.SON looked mien legislation at
present for India as a c -owning madness. It was
like the commander of a vessel Cianging his lower sail
in a gale of wind. He had no hesitation in saying that
if a Mahommedau should c ;me to that table to be sworn
he would introduce him, for he believed there was very
little difference between the religions of M ahommedans
and Coristiaes.

Col. SYKES withdrew his amendment, and the house
proceeded to a consideration of the Lords' amendments.
Upon the additio❑ made by the Lords to clause 27,
"That no such order shall be sent without having been
previously communicated to the Vice-President and one
other member from time to time to be selected by the
Secretary of Statp,
Lori J. RUSSELL said the amendment inlhis opinion
did not provide that security which was intended by the
Lords, and be therefore proposed that the following
words be substituted, " That no such order shall be
sent without having been previously communicated to a
committee coneiAiog of the Vtce•President and fur
other members to be selected from time to time by the
Seoretary of State, and tee opinion of the committee in
respect to such order shall have been given in writing."
Lord STANLEY said it was no easy task to defend
the amendment made by the Lords, but the same objec-
tion the noble lord took to the amendment applied with
equal force to his proposition. (Hear, hear.)
Sir J. GRAHAM was opposed to the Lords' Amend-
ment.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
if the noble lord would withdraw his amendment he
would not support that made by the Lords. (Hear,
hear.) He thought the words as they originally stood in
the bill far preferable to either amendment.
Mr. MANGLES approved of the amendment made
by the Peers.
Sir J. COLEBROOKE thought no security would
be given by cumpoling the Minister to communicate his
despatches to members of a council appointed by himself.
Mr. BO WYER thought the amendment of the noble
lord the member for London was a great improvement
of the Lords' Amendment, although he was of opinion
that the number of the committee tis suggested by him
was rather too numerous—three members of the commit-
tee he thought would be sufficient. The amendment,
however, of the noble lord. taken altogether, was a very
useful one, and, in the event of a division, he should give
it his support.
After a few words from Mr. A. MILLS,
Mr. V. SMITH looked upon the amendments as mere
sham. One of the main objects of the bill was to gst
rid of the secret committee altogether ; but both
amendments were in fact to reconstruct that secret
committee. He lookeo upon the proposed committee as
a most cumbrous and inconvenient hamper upon the

Secretary of State. He thought i hat either the commit-
tee ought to be open to be whole Council, or else to rely
upon the sole responsibiay of the Secretary of State.
Mr. P. O'BRIEN said the object was to have a re-
sponsible Minister to administer Indian affairs. If
the Minister was to be responsible, what need was there
of his having any advice from the Council? In his
opinion the amendment en irely took away the responsi•
bility of the minister. He hoped the house would not
agree to the amendment.
• Mr. WILSON said he believed the amendment of the
Lords.wputo provide a cheek upon the .Minister, and if
that _Minister. had hitherto been unthr the necessity of
consulting even one member of the Council, the despatch
of Lord Ellen borough would never have been sent out to
India.
Lord PALMERSTON said the foundation of the
measure was, that for the present Government organisa-
tion should be substituted the single responsibility of the
Minister of the Crown ; and the amendment of the
Lards, and the proposition of the noble lord the member
for the City of London, were opposed to that principle.
He greatly objected to its being wade compulsory upon
the Minister to communicate his despatches to any par-
ticular person who was not a member of the Cabinet.
Such a proposition was, in effect, shackling the Cabi-
net. He hoped the house would rikeat the amendment
altogether. (Divide, diuide.)
The SPEAKER then nut the amendment of Lord John
Russell from the chair, and it was negatived without a
division.
On the question that the amendment made by the
Lords be agreed to,
The house then divided, when there appeared—

in the Secretary of State, sui,j tot only to a protest from

proposed that the patronage should be vested in the Se-
cretary of State, with the concurrence of the majority of
the Council, and he thought they should either restore
the words " with the concurrence of a majority of the
Council," which were struck out in the Lords, or to vest
it entirely in her Majesty,
Lord STANLEY said he could not defend the Lords'
amendment.
The amendment was rejeo'ed without a division.
The next amendment of the Lords to the same clause
was objected to on the same ground, and rejected.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
would be convenient if he was now to move the adjourn-
ment of the debate until six o'clock.
The motion was put from the chair and agreed to
INTERNATIONAL PATENT RIGHT BILL.
This bill passed through committee.
The sitting was then suspended.
The house resumed at six o'clock.

According to present arrangemeniff, the House of
Commons will, at its rising this evening, adjourn until
