which ought for the future to be phrsued in the adminis•
tration of the affairs of our Indian empire.
Sir D. NORREYS disapproved as strongly as the hon
gentleman who had just spoken the proclamation of Lord
Canning, while he was equally disposed to find fault with
the tone of the despatch which had been written in rep'''.
He did not like to condemn Lord Canning without further
information, and he believed that the house, if it wished
to do justice, would postpone the debate for a month or
six weeks. (Laughter, and cries of" This day six months.l
He would raise the question tomorrow on the motion for
the adjournment of the ho.use
Mr. CARDWELL understood the question of the hon.
member (Mr. Dunlop) to be whether, if the motion which
he had the honour to introdace were carried, he
would
have any objection to support a separate resolution, the
purport of which was to express the cordial hope that a
policy would be adopted towards India. He should en'
tirely agree in such a resolution. (" Oh !" and '
conical
cheers.)
Mr. M. GIBSON wished to know whether he rig
htv
understood that some motion condemning the proclamation
was to be tagged on to the motion of the right hon. gentle;
man. He was afraid that with so many amendments and
proposals the house would get into some dilemma from
which it could not easily extricate itself. (Cheers.)
Mr. S. HERBERT thought the right hon. gentleman heu
misunderstood the course proposed to be taken. He had
i ion several times in the hope of catching the Speaker
eye, but should not now inflict upon the house his reason
for the course he should pursue. But according to his vieew
there was nothing incompatible in the resolution of the
right hen. gentleman (Mr. Caldwell) and that of the hoe'
member (Mr. Dunlop). There was a precedent for the
course proposed, because the Court of Directors, who WI
written a despatch to Lord Canning, giving their adslea
that a policy of clemency should be pursued, had passeal
vote of confidence in Lord Canning, and had express*:
their conviction that the proclamation bore nothing whia"
militated against the adoption of a policy of clemency. ,
Mr. ROUPEL said the house had commenced OP'
debate with a s lemn exhortation which almost had the
character of a funeral dirge. (A. laugh and cheers.)
feared, however, that something like a sense of the ludi,
emus was stealing over their minds. (A laugh, and Hear'
hear.) He saw no reason why the noble lord (Palmerston'
and the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Cardwell) should not fel;
low the example of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, aIT
d
adopt the amendment of the hon. member (Mr. Dillifinp
(A laugh.) It, contained all that the friends of Lord UAn,'
fling could desire. (" No !") He thought that the 122.;
jority of the house were of that opinion. ("No, no I" WI,:
" Hear.") He spoke without authority, but he thought
that the greater number of the independent Liberals were
of this opinion. (" No !" and "Hear.") This amendmelli
appeared to offer an easy mode of escaping from the die'
culty of a ludicrous position.
_ Lord PALMERSTON—Perhaps the Chancellor of thi
Exchequer will tell us whether the papers on India will bi
laid on the table before the houae adjourns to.night„.
understand they were moved for in the Lords, and will
presented to that house.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I have the
papers here.
The debate was then adjourned.
BISHOPS' TRUSTS SUBSTITUTION (No, 2.1 BID"
Leave was given to Mr. Briscoe to bring in a bill
enable the bishop of one diocese to substitute the bishop •
another as a trustee in certain trusts. The bill was rod
third time.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER laid UP°,
the table papers relative to the proclamation for the sun"'
ation of Oude, which were ordered to be printed.
The house adjourned at half-past 12 o'clock.
