THE GOVERNMENT AND THE INDIAN

TELEGRAPH.

An official intimation is stated to have been received
by Mr. Andrew, the chairma❑ of the European and
Indian Junction Telegraph Company, from the Trea-
sury, to the effect that the Government will be prepared
to execute a contract, stipulating to pay, conjointly-
with the East India Company, from the date of the com-
pletion of the telegraph, 12,000/. per annum fur 25
years, or ro much of it as shall be necessary to make up,
with the other receipts of the company, a dividend of 6
per cent. When the profits of the company shall exceed
12 per cent, the Government and the India House are
to have the power of making a reduction in the tariff
for conveying messages, but not to an extent that, cal-
culating the traffic of the preceding years, will reduce
the dividend below that amount. The Government
require 20 per cent, of the capital to be paid up previ-
ously to the execution of the contract as security fur the
bona fides of the undertaking ; and it is also provided
that, "to insure to the Government that supervision
and control to which their stake in the enterprise justly
entitles them, the Treasury shall have the power of ap
pointin, one official director" to represent their interests.
Application has been male to the East India Company
to allow Sir William O'Shaughnessy to act as consulting
engineer. Six per cent, will accrue to the shareholders
from the date of the payment of the first call.

SLAVE HIRING IN VIRGINIA..--it

first of January, finds his proper level in the amount of
money his owner secures for his services during the en-
suing twelve months. It is amusing, sometimes, to wit_
nt-ss the profound commiseration felt and expressed by
a negro of 150 dollars, for his less favoured crinpanion',
who can only secure 60 dots. or 80 dole. We have had
but short experience in the matter, but being among the
unfortunates who do not happen to own any of the " pe-
culiar institution," we are inclined to think that the
hiring rates are unconscionably high—entirely too h'Eli
for an extensive enjoyment of the luxury, if, indeed, it
be considered a luxury, to have to manage and care for,
and provide food and raiment for one or more of the
race. We era inclined to ecru) the sentiments of our
contemporary of the Williamsburgh lia:ctie. It really
does seem to us "that the hire of servants has fur
the last two years been quite as high as can
be for the
advantage of•
either party" (a Hibernian would add),
especially for the hirer.

you take at,y interest in the proceedings of your represen-
tative, cAlsult the division list upon the great question'

ar which you care a straw, and if I havebeen absent

tail me to account; but on any question of importance
I have been present and voted, esc, pt when I have thought
the que-tion not ready for legislative discussion. Igo
further. I think that a man standing before his consti-
tdency should confess when he has done wrong. I have

to make my confessions.
_I have committed some mis-
takes. In relation to the savings-bank question I will
confess that I was guilty of an oversight that, perhaps,
c tused me greater chagrin than to any member of this
c instituency ; I believe it was the Tralee Savings-bank,
which was brought forward by Mr. Daniel O'Connell on
a certain evening in the House of Commons. I was not
present when that discussion came on. It came to a
division, ai.d my name is not recorded therein. It hap-
peneo that the question was brought forward on the
same night which I brought forward a question which
I think you will call one of importance—namely, the
disendowroent of all religious bodies in Ireland. (Hisses
and applause.) You are preutature in expressing your
condemnation, because 1 will go into that point pre-
sently ; but it so happened that It depended on my own
energy and influence to obtain a night. I bad been dis-
appointed, for I had obtained on a former evening the
ii-ging of a discussion on the subject ; but then came the
great naval review, and they took the liberty of voting
that the House should not sit on that night. On the
second night which I had obtained there was to be a
Turkish Ambassador's ball, at which the Queen was to
be present, and the members of the House were anxious
to basic in the beams of sovereignty, and it was supposed
that no private member could obtain a mitht. I had ot-
tained promises which induced me to think I should be
successful. The question did come on for discussion ;it
went on till afti.r 12, and after midnight a minority of
votes which surprised me was the result. Yon may
suppose I was so absorbed by the immediate business be-
fore me that I overlooked the fact that the very next
question standing on the paper was the question about
savings-banks in Ireland. I had had a previous conver-
sation with Mr. O'Connell on the subject, and I under-
sto,:d that he did not expect that he could do more than
make a statement, to which the Cnanc-llor of the Ex-
Chequer woul,l probably reply. I was one of the tellers
in my own case. I reported the votes and retired into
the lobby. I don't think you lost anything by that, f0.r.1
don't think it would be good policy for you to identify
your case with that of the Irish savings-banks, thy
having had a Parliamentary inquiry into their case,
and you have bad none. You stand, therefore, in a
better position, and, under all tie circumstances, I,
uthaotuugah tofl I
hmeigphetopflrearokf Rochdalely throw t
o eyxsetelfndon to he
me
pardon which I need. One other thing I wish to con-
mt goodtlia,t

tesa. It with reference to a question in which you
are deeply interested. It is the question of national re-
presentation. You are aware that Sir Joshua Waltnsley

intended to bring in a bill to amend the representation
of the people. With difficulty he had got a night fixed,
and we all anticipated that there would be a serious die-

•
cussion. It might not have been the bet period for
bringing a matter of that kind forward ; but, however
that was, I intended to be present, and, if necessary,
take part in the di-cussion. I was not aware that Sir
Joshua Walmsley thought he could not make a houie,

because every member who stands irst on the list has to
exert himseit to get members there before four o'clock,
in order that there may not be a count-out. I conse-
quently did not arrive till three minutes after four
o'clock, when I found that the house was disinised.
I-• can only say that this was an accident.
. _

Now, gentleiiien, let me give you as briefly a sketch of
the, session. It is a difficult matter as a painter would

soy, to paint a blank space, and all I can do is to set
before you a beggarly account of empty boxes. We met
when negotiations for peace were being carried on, and

wo were called upon to exhibit our patriotism by abstain-
ing from all discussion on the matter, and I must say
the perfect silence on the subject which was preserved
in Parliament during the time that arrangements were
being carried forward indicated no little amount of patri-
otism in the members who were there, every party being
careful not to endanger the peace which then seemed
probable. You know that the result was the establish-
ment of a peace comprehending those points which the
Western Powers had ostensibly contended for during
the war. No sooner was peace signed, and almost
before the rejoicings were over, than we got into
difficulties with America. I will not now discuss

that matter, but I will justify my conduct therein
by saying that the main difficulty was attri-
butable to the proceedings of our own Consuls
and Minister there with a view to obtain enlist-
ments for the army. Against that Foreign Enlistment
Bill I had on a previous occasion voted, because it was
impossible to put it into fair operation without endan-
gering our relations with other countries. As to other
matters, the greater part of the session went by while
e were doing nothing. There were from 30 to 40
public measures passed during the session of Parliament,
but I think I could easily name all those which were of
any worth. There was the Limited liability Bill. I
gave my vote in favour of that bill with the greatest
delight, and only regret that it was not accompanied by
another for amending the law of partnership, so as t
admit of private persons putting their capital into com•
mernal speculations without exposing themselves to
ruinous consequences. The Cambridge University Bill
passed under review, and, besides these, the County
Courts Amendment Bill and the Police Bill
were the only other bills which could be said to be of
great public importance which were passed during the
session. Several good bills were either withdrawn or re-
jected. In one of these you take great interest—l mean
that for doing away with the local dues on shipping. I
believe that the merchandise which comes into Rochdale
and other towns pay a tax for beautifying the town of
Liverpool, and also helps to pay the borough rates of
that town, as well as their paving, sewerage, great pub-
lic ball, and other expenses necessary to the comfort and
convenience of a great shipping town like Liverpool.
These things I consider ought to be paid by the inhabi-
tants, instead of Which they are paid by those who have
merchandise passing through that port, and you are pay-
ing part of this as well as your own rates for the improve-
ment of your own town. Ministers brought in a bill to do
away with allthis,when up rose all the corporations which
had property in vested rights, afraid that touching these
old customs would lead to trenching on their vested in-
terests, and many town clerks went to London to try to
induce Government to abstain from interference. Lord
Palmerston did not appear deeply interested in the mat-
ter, though Mr. Lowe was, and he, instead of support-
ing his own Minister, sent the bill to a committee of
inquiry, before whom one of your townsmen, Mr.
Alexander Livesey, gave valuable evidence ; the result
was, that the measure was shelved, but, nevertheless,
I expect it is one of those measures which we shall have
to pass next session. There was also a bill for allowing
Jews to sit in Parliament when elected thereto. That
bill was under the conduct of Air. Milner Gibson, and,
though it passed through the Commons, it was rejected
by the House of Lords. There were others to which I
need not refer, but there is one class of bills particularly
important to you—l allude to those which are based
upon practical centralisation. With reference to my own
motion, in which I followed in the steps of my predeces-
sor, Mr. Sharman Crawford, I may say that he was the
first who had the courage to say that all religions bodies
in Ireland should be left to sustain their own institutions;
that all public provision for them should be withdrawn,
and that all inequalities should cease. I believe that
it is pretty well known to you all, that if I have any
particular prejudices, they run in the ecclesiastical
line, and I have laboured to advance this principle—that
it is no business of the State to afford to anybody pro-
tection in the exercise of his religion, and at the same
time to meddle with none. Let all churches be self
importing and self-governing. Of all places in the world
Ireland was most in need of the application of that prin•
ciple. Mr. Spooner brought in from time to time a mo
tion for taking away from Maynooth College its 30,0001.
aiyear, on the ground that it is dipleasing to Almighty
whatinl
God that a religion which is not true in itself according
to their declaration should be sustained by the property
of Protestants. Now, gentlemen, I told you at the core-

precisely on the same grounds, and I therefore proceeded

to deal with the endowments given to the Roman Catho-
lics, and contended that they 'ought to stand upon the
same level, and ought to be dealt with according to the
same principle. Consequently; I gave notice of my inten-
tention to bring forward a motion for the impartial disen-
dowment of all sects in Ire\and, and for the entire
secularisation of all the funds at present enjoyed by the
Protestant Chorch in that countr,', for the withdrawment
and cessation of the Maynootb endowment, and likewise
f,,r the cessation of the Parlitnentary grant called the
Regiuni Donlon, given t) the Presbyterians. Relative to
the Persian difficulty Mr. said—" We are an insu-
lar people ; why sheuld we he continually interfering with
the business of our neighbours ? Look around you for
the fruit of the Palmerstonian policy. We have already
had two wars, two occupations—one unsuccessful from
imperfect administration. We have a war with Per,ia, as I
read i❑ the paper to-day that our naval armaments have
taken possession of Bushire. We have sent an army
5,000 strong to the north-west of India, to penetrate into
the central regions of Asia, to drive the Persians out ofthe
to ,+n of Herat. I'll be bound for it t'nat net 20 persons in
this hall would care to know where Herat is ; but we are
at a war that may possibly cost us much money, and
very nearly as much bloodshed, as that which im happily
now concluded. Nobody knows what it is about, but
those who are best informed tell us that it is about a
lady. (A laugh.) It is .no matter of laughter, though it
does assume most certainly a ludicrous aspect. Another
subject is the bombardment of Canton. I can only trace
this to the determination of the European to find a quar-
rel with the Chinese." The hon. member proceeded to
condemn at considerable length the policy of the British
Government towards the Chinese, and after a reference
to Italy, Hungary, and our relations with France, con-
eluded a speech of two honrs' duration with some re-
marks on Lord John Russell.

Mr. G. Ashworth moved, and Mr. J. Petrie seconded
a vote of confluence in Mr. Miall, which wag unani-
mously carried.

corridor to hold the Investiture.

The Moniteur gives the following official account of
the ceremony of investiture of the o:der of the Bath,
which recently took place at the English embassy, and
which was presided over by Lord Cowley, by order of
Queen Victoria. In conformity with the established
custom, the knights grand crosses now in Paris were

" Gentlemen—For the second time I am called on to
fulfil the most honourable mission that the Queen can
confide to her representative—that of being her sub-
stitute in the distribution of the honours by which
ber Majesty desires to testify her esteem and kinds e4s,
not only for those officers of the ar.ny agf d navy to whom,
with the permission of the Emperor, she now sends the
insignia of ber Order of the Bath, but also for the whole
of the Imperial army and navy ; for it must not be f6r-
gotten, gentlemen, that each soldier is to consider him-
self honoured by the rewards and distinctions conferred
on his chiefs. On the other hand, the English army
and navy are justly proud of seeing enrolled as members
of the military order of England the illustrious Prince
who honours this ceremony with his presence, and the
marshals, generals, and other officers—the heroes of the
Alma, of Inkerman, of Traktir, and of Sebastopol—
who now surround me. Happily, by fortuitous circum
stances, there are here present officers of the Queen,
some of whom have shared in your dangers and in your
successes ; they will tell you better than I can do the
fraternal welcome which awaits you on the part of your

companions in arms."
After having read • the letters patent of the Queen, Loi
Cowley handed the insignia to the new members Of tl

Lord Cowley concluded the ceremony by congratulating
the new members in the following terms :
"
I cannot terminate this ceremony without express-
ing the gratitude of my Government for the marks; of
kindness which the Emperor has, on hi- part, conferred
oe the English army and navy. I see in this exchange
of courtesies a fresh bond of friendship between the two
nati ,ns. May the two Governments continue to march
together, not in a spirit of exclusion and mistrust to-
wards others, but ready to receive into their alliance
and their friendship all those who wish to labour with
them in spreading civilisation and welfare throughout
the whole period."
A grand dinner afterwards took place, at which were
present Prince Napoleon, Lady Cowley, C ;not
Walewski, all the old and new members of the crier,
present, as well as Captain David, aide-de-camp to ibis
Imperial Highness, and Mr. Howard and Mr. Stuart,
first secretary and first attache to the embassy. Towards
the end of the dinner, Lord Cowley proposed the health
of the Emperor of the Freueb. Prince Napoleon replied
as follows :
"I propose the health of the Queen of England, and
I unite to this toast all my wishei for the alliance of the
two great rations of the West. I hope that it will not
be confined to a transient understanding on a epeeist
question, but that, based on principle, it will everywhere
insure the triumph of progress and of civilisation. This
is the object to which two great nations ought to march
in c mcert. The glory acquired in common, at the price
of the most generous blood, is for their alliance a pledge
of the future which time cannot weaken. So long as it
shall last, we shall be strong enough to everywhere asisist
our friends and make our enemies give way."
Lord Cowley proposed the health of his Imperial High-
ness, saying :
. " Gentlemen—l beg you to drink with me to the
health of my illustrious guest, Prince Napoleon. I
thank his Imperial Highness, in the name of the Queen,
of the English Government, and of my country, for the
toast which he has just proposed, and for the remarks,
en full of kindness for England, which accompanied

it. The sentiments expressed by his Icoperial Highness
do honour to the prince, to the soldier, and to the man.
A.n alliance founded on any other principles than those
invoked by his Imperial Highness could not be dur•
able."
Lord Cowley next proposed a toast to the French army
and navy, to which Marshal Pelissier replied as fol-
lows : _ _

_ .
" We are all very sensible of and grateful for the toast
just given by the noble representative of the Queen of
England i.o the French army and navy,-and 1 caGnot
better reply to it than by cordially• proposing a toast to
the army and navy of Great Britain. We have been
side by side in twenty combats, and the reciprocal
esteem which we have conceived for each other is an ad-
ditional pledge of durability for that alliance, lasting as
the imperishable glory which it has given to our flags."
Gen. Woodford replied as follows
" Monseigneur and gentlemen—ln the name of the
English army and navy, I beg you to accept our very
sincere thanks for the honour you have just done us. I
am persuaded that the flattering sentiments which Mar-
shal Pelissier has expressed will be received by our
forces with the most lively satisfaction and gratitude. I
can assure you, gentlemen, that my comrades respond
to those generous sentiments, and that they offer up the
most cordial wishes for the happiness, the honour, and
the glory of the French army and navy."
