Mr. SHERI:WAN evened, that as Ile was 3
decided friend to the Militia of chits Country, he
wished to in.tke an observation or two on a remark
which hand come from the Hon. Gentleman on the
other„sitle of the House, (the St.cttETARY at WAR)
mute .slwrt !byte back, and which remark had iather
hurt the Lieutenants. of the County of Surrey, as it
wen, in some measure to accuse those Gentlemen of
inattention_ to their _duty. The Lieutenants anti
Magistrates of the County of Surrey were tan the
Contrary, highly entitled to praise for their strict
attention to the duty of their- office he wished that
returns might be made of the deficiencies in the
12,,,ginieors, in order that it tniyht be seen
wh-re neglea adually "existed.-
The St,C; ARY at WAR repeated the same
explaLation he had done on a former occasion, and
observed, he only mentiorked a ncglel as to the re.
turns which had been `mane in the Sorry Militia, in
consequence of the inattention of the Constable, sip.
pointed to take down the names. But if the Hon.
Gentler in wished to have the retort's of the SUrry
Militia, or any other, they should be laid before the
Houie. was tatistied the Lieutenants aod
mates alluded to were highly. entitled to panegyric
for their meritorious services,

LNDIA BUDGET.

Lord CAsTLE?,e.,NG4 moved the Order of the Day

r the H;ottbe•to yebolvk it‘eif into a Committee of

the whole House consider of certain India Ac-
comma which. being read, and the I-louse havtog
resolved itself into a cototnittee of the whole House
:accordingly,,
Lord. CAST4ER..3AGII proceeded, to open the
India Budget, lie commenced with saying he was ,
aware that every subjed of accounts was naturally
dry and uninteresting 'to_ a popular aseetubly, and
that this was, more particularly the case with respea
to the Accounts to which he was gboilt to call the
attention of the Committee but when it was can-,
sidered that this subjea related to the whole of our
vast Indian, empire, embraced a revenue of 13
millions sterling per Annan,. it would,;appear to
deserve, what indeed he had no doubt it..(votild oh.
tain, the serious attention of p4l i a t and. he
Was gratified with the conviaion that Gentlemen
would turn their serious attention to this subjea,
for nothing was so calculated to produce advantages
to the 'Government of a great'l.4.4npire;' and to the
order and arrangement of its affairs, both at liotne
'and abroad, or to give confidence to the Public in
the propriety of its management, as that all' classes
of them should know that the stria eye of 'Parlia.
anent was turoed upon its investigation. The Ace
counts now before the committee were Accounts
which ought to have been before• Parliament on an
earlier occasion than the present, and should have
been so had they arrived.. The previous Accounts
were up to April that, and they were completely
made up., The other Account were estimated Ac.
counts only, and (hey were for the years Slot-2.
The Accaunte now before. the Committee wets! ae.
tual Aceounts'of the year t gOl-11, and an estimate
of Accounts nf'the years' 1802.3, and, which were
calculated, according to the best information which
GOVetilltent had 'been 'able to coiled at the time
when the first Account to which he had alluded was
made up.' • 'Theme was a difference between the year
18ot and those of the subsequenc years, because
18ot was a year of gloat War, and that was a fad
which the Committee, would bear in mind, while
he had the hoondi of laying the whole of these Ac.
counts before them. The years tBot.z were to be
considered as years of Peace, 'and more likely, oo
that account, to equal, .if not exceed, the estimates
of their produce, subjea however to some observe.
thous which he should have to submit to the Coen.
mittee. in examining these Accounts, he should
divide them, for the sake of perspicuity, into•two
general heads, of Yoreign and House Accounts, and
each of these naturally divided themselves into three
heads..--the Revenume of the different Presidencies—:.
the. State of Accounts, and Estimates of Revenoes
and Charges Nbroad—and of Assets at hOme. As

to the lieTild of. Revenues and Charges, it was. usual
to take an estimate of them on an average of three
years formerly, And to compare it with chat of the
