THE S USN, L'ONDON, MONDAY'

of their leaders, but are a satire on their kind. Some
well-meaning men, more remarkable for their pious
imbecility than their common sense, are now advo-
cating 'increased subscriptions for missions y efforts
in India. lam not 'one of those who deride the
labours of the missionary, but there is a time for all
things, and I think this the'most inopportune of all
times for urging such au appeal. Soldiers are re-
quired, not preachers ; rifles, not tracts. Not only
have we an empire to preserve, but fiendish out-
rages to avenge--outrages perpetrated upon Eng-
lishmen and Englishifonien. (Cheers.) It is a conso-
lation amid this wilderness of crime to turn to those
bright spots where the heroism of our countrymen has
been so nobly displayed. Who has not read with
emotion of the deeds of those gallant young officers
who, deserted by all, sooner than abandon their
post; and yield up their military stores to the re-
bels, put a match the train and blew up their own
magazines at the cost of their lives I The poet truly
says that it is not always the greatest heroism which
is shown in action— _ _

" It is the detail of blank intervals,
That patient sufferance where no action is
That proves our nature. .Many are who act,
But, ob, how few endure."
The conduct of that young Lieut. Willoughby, of
Rayner, of Forrest, and of the soldier Scully, who
stood by them to the last, equals anything in classic
story, and makes one proud of the name of English:-
man. What shall we say of the deeds of General
Nicholson; who routed the Sealkote mutineers' and,
I believe, left not a man ofthem remaining What
of that hero of the day, whose actions give the lie
to the popular notion that old men are unfit for
Command, I mean Gen. Havelock—(cheers)—who
in eight days marched 146 miles, and fought four
pitched battles with the most glorious success ? And
mark you, he had to march in the month of July,
under an Indian sun, the strokes of which were
more to be feared than the bullets of the enemy.
These are indeed heroes who might well be placed
in an English `Valhalla. What, too, shall we say of
Major Eyre, who with 200 men released six Eng-
lishmen shut up with 40 Sikhs in, Arrab and gal-
lantly holding out against a host of rebels—what
but that they are worthy of their country, and that
having done their duty abroad, something remains
to be done by us at home ? I hope there is no man
here who, however he may differ from us in poli-
tics, wouldseek at such a moment to make pol tical
capital out of the national *misfortune ; yet there
aro certain symptoms in the country which I a egret
to witness. I hear and read great abuse of the right
bon. gentleman at the head of the Board of Control
of whom it is thought a very good joke to say that
1 ecause he bears the name of Smith he cannot
be fit for hie position. It is new to me
that among Englishmen who are crying out that
the right_ man is not in therigbt place, and that
men descended from the people are not allowed to
participate in the direction of the people's affairs,
a man's name should lie any objection to biro, more
especially when it is the common and well-honoured
name borne by the right hon. gentleman's uncle,
Sydney Smith, so distinguished for his writings and
for his love of civil and religious liberty. I
Mr. Vernon Smith to be a man of great industry
and great ability, and I regard these attacks upon
him as most ungenerous and unfair. Moreover, if
anybody be to blame for supposed mismanagement
of Indian affairs' that blame ought to attach not
to an individual but to the united Cabinet. Know-
ing Lord Palmerston to be beyond the reaoh of the
Efforts of their these critics judiciously se-
lect a less popular Minister as the object of their
animosity. I have said that we have duties
to perform, and if we ought to defend a gen-
Veman at the head- of a department at home,
how much more incumbent upon us is it to be chary
of the reputation of men who are absent. It is
a sacred obligation upon us not to run down the
character of any man serving his country at a dis-
tance, while imperfectly acquainted with the cir-
cumstances under which he acted, until he is proved
to have heel inefficient. I do not say that there
may not have been inefficient men in India. I be-
lieve that there have been • but they are awaiting
the award of courts-martial, and until the verdicts
of those tribunals reach this county it is prema-
ture to pass any judgment upon them. And when
speaking of absent men, I think we ought to give
our entire confidence to Lord Canning, who is
placed in a, position so difficult and trying, but
whose measures hitherto have been at once ener
getic and highly judicious. Immediate'y on the
commencement of this outbreak he sent not only
In the Cape, but to Men, the Mauritius, China,
and Ceylon for troops ; and there are now either in
India or on their way thither, 55 battalions of in-
fantry, 11 regiments of cavalry, one troop of
Horse Artillery, three field batteries, five compa-
nies of Royal Artillery (a corps that never before
visited India,and four companies of Royal Engineers,
making a total, besides marines, of 81,000 men,
who before the month of November will be as-
sembled on the plains of India. Now, you will ask,
what of your own department:, the navy 7 It so
happ..ns that department has nothing to do with
the taking of transports for this war ; that is all
included and, I am happy to say, paid for—a very
material consideration, as we shall see when the bill
is brought in—by another authority. There have
sailed, however, or are now under orders, not fewer
than 59 transports, and tenders for a great many
more have been sent in. I hope, therefore, we shall
seem hear that an end has been put to this mon-
strous conspiracy. I for one shall not be satisfied
until I hear that Delhi, on which I look as the mo-
dern Gomorrah,' has been razed tothe ground. The
punishment, I think, should be commensurate
with the crime. Sure I am that as long as one
stone of that c;ty is left upon another, so long
will the Hindoo and the Mahornedan point to the
spot where Miss Jennings was cut to pieces amid
the fiendish exultation of brutal and bigoted;
Asiatics. Being only a subordinate member of
the Government, I speak without authority,
but I shrewdly suspect that if you wish to preserve
India you must be prepared to pay for it. I am
sure you would not think for a moment of weigh-
ing pounds, shillings, and pence in the scale against
the prestige of the British name and the claims of
outraged humanity. So much for the past. It is'
much-more difficult to speak cf the future, because
with such horrors ringing in our ears it is impos-
sible to maintain the requisite calmness and mode-
'ation: 'There is a large party in this country who
are desirous of doing away at once with the power
of the East India Company. I have not now the
evidence that would enable me to discuss that
question, but I know that some of thegreatest men'
both in civil an 1 militarylife have been produceduna
der the auspices of that body, as witneia El phinstone"
and Malcolm, Colvin and the Lawrencee, and many
o hers. I wish, however, to say a word or two upon
the Bengal army. I have long made this sub-
ct my study, and so far from feeling any surprise
at what has happened, I am only surprised
that this mutiny did not break out before. We
have had frequent warnings as to the sta.' e of
that army, but, alas ! Cloud; forewarned we have
not been forearmed., We have a population of
180;000,000 in India, from whom we rased an
army of 300,000 men, made up of Hindoos and Ma-
hernedans, and only one sixth Europeans. With
a force so composed it is apparent we must all
along have been sitting on a barrel of gunpowder.
Tine Bengal army was never asked to march on any
great expedition but it mutinied for double allow-
ance. This was not the exception but the rule.
The double. allowance was always conceded, and
then, but not till then, they marched. With the
origin of the word Sepoy you are, probably, all ac-
quainted ; but, perhaps, you are not aware that we
copied the embodiment of the Sepoy regiments from
the French, who are said always to introduce a
thing first, John Bull afterwards improving upon it:
The improvement in this case, I regret to say, has
not been very apparent. This system existed under
the French in 1746 at Cuddalore. Clive adopted their
idea; but in his time the regiments were officered to a
considerable extent by native chiefs and gentlemen,
who, in those days, fought most efficiently. Great
changes have since then been introduced—changes,
unhappily, not for the better. Formerly the-Euro-
pean officers were obliged to know the languages of
their men, and were all selected, not only for their
ability, but also for their acquaintance with Eastern
character. In 1796 more Europeans were allotted
to each native regiment, and the principle of selec-
tion was done away with. So many new officers
were required that commands were given to lads
fresh from school, and totally ignorant of the native
Languages. What was the consequence ? That the
native officer who till then had b. en a leading man
in his regiment, and had conducted himself with
propriety and honour, became disgusted. Gra-
dually your army was altogether deserted by tho
native gentlemen—for you must not imagine that a
gentleman is to be found in England only.--(A
laugh.) Gentlemen descended from the nobility
that flourished under the Mahomedan regime, and
who were formerly a most important element in
your army, would no longer take service it.
Arad it would have-
been strange if they bad •
because
no matter how able or distinguished
an old'
native officer might have been, immediately;

result is,
,he bas very little influence over
he never gives any information, and cannotrepress
a mutiny. Morever, be knew thatif he leached a
: certain period of life in your Eervic,.., according to

the principle of seniority which obtained in the
Bengal army, he would become an officer at 60.
He would, therefore, remain in his corps till then,
merely to obtain his pension and retire. The great
error, I repeat, was that you ever kept native
officers at all after the European element was so
largely infused into the service. This is a point to
which the Government will have to turn its atten-
tion when it comes to deal with the reconstruction
of the native army. There is another matter well
worthy of consideration in connexion with this sub-
ject. I refer to the comparative number of officers
in English and in Sepoy regiments. Let me take
by way of illustration the 25th Regiment, called
" the Borderers." They are 1,000 strong, and.
their complement of officers is 36, besides the staff,
including the lieutenant colonel, quarter-master,
surgeon, and field-officers. This number are
generally present with their corps, and alWays on
service. With the Sepoy regiment, however, the
case is different. There the complement of officers,
including the staff, is 26 for 1,000 men. You may
think this a very fair number, but the fact is that
on an average not more than 15, and those not the
elite, are never present with their regiment, giving
only one officer to 93 men. I ask, in such a state
of things, how can you expect a regiment to be
kept in proper discipline, and to look up to its
1- aders ? Every-man who is master of the language
and who wishes ts distinguish himself regards'
regimental duty as irksome, and always looks for
staff employment. Such employment he is sure to
obtain, and the regiment is thus left in the hands of
men of much less ability, who sometimes cannot so
much as give the word of command in anything but
English, who have no knowledge cr sympathy with
the feelings of their men, and who unhappily have
the bad taste to call them niggers, and indulge in
those jokes at their expense to which young officers
are prone. This, then, is a defective system, which
ought to be reformed. Again, a vicious rule exists
in the recruiting of the Bengal army. You ,are
aware that in India there is such a thing as caste.
Indeed, we have a little of it at home, where people
bath in the religious and political world look down
upon their neighbours as if they were inferior
beings. Such men are the European Brahmins
(a laugh), but they are not at all to be compared
to the Asiatic Brahmin who belongs to the
priestly order, and to whom everything and
everybody is subservient. For that matter accord-
ing to the Hindoo mythology, instead of the
Brahmins paying court to the Gods, the Gods
are supposed to pay court to the Brahmins. (A
laugh.) Nevertheless, our policy has been to enlist
the Brahmins in the proportion in some cases of as
many as 600 to 1,000. They are indifferent soldiers
but clever intriguers ; they contrive to keep the
other men in subjection to them and subservient
to their interests, and have in a manner established
I a code which treats a regimental offence as venial,
! and an offence against caste as unpardonable. They
happen to be taller than the other men, and are
marvellously proper in appearance • but they are
not the men who fought your earlier battles in India.
It was not such men who won the victories of Coote
and Clive. Their armies, on the contrary, were
composed of men of mixed caste, including even
Pariahs ;mien who dial good and faithful service, men
who founded the reputation of the great Duke of
Wellington, and overthrew the hosts of the
fierce Tippoo Sahib. (Cheers) You must there-
fore revise your recruiting system. But this is not
aIL It is not enough to have your native troops
well formed and well officered ; you must take care
that they are not commanded by effete and worn-
out leaders ; and to accomplish this object a com-
pulsory system of superannuation is absolutely ne-
cessary. History shows that almost every great
action has been won by young generals. Napoleon
was only 25 when he conducted his great Italian
campaigns, and the illu-trious Wellington was only
46 when he concluded his active military career. If
you had had a young officer in command at Meerut
I believe you would have had this insurrection
crushed in the bud, and had Colonel Gillespie, who
promptly cut down the disaffected soldiery at Vet.-
lore-and saved an empire, been an aged decrepit
officer, I have no doubt that an extensive mutiny
like the present would have broken oat at a much
earlier period. But it is not in the management
of the native army alone that mistakes have been
made. Errors have also been committed in your
mode of governing India. Like true John Bulls
you have been guided solely by your own notions
and ideas without regard to their adaptability to
the Asiatic temperament. You forgot that
those men have as conscientious an objec-
tion to iissiug the fat of the cow as many of my
f iends here have to another animal—(laughter)—
and although, no doule,a the greased cartridge
affair was a mere pretext, still a large body of Sepoys
really supposed that their caste was to be talren
away, and Christianity to be forced upon them at
the point of the bayonet. The train was laid by
Mabomedan fraud and cunning, and fired by the
mingled fanaticism and ferocity of the Hindoo.
Another mistake was male when, in 1835, a great
Indian statesman gave unlimited fro ,tdorn to the
native press. I have always entertained a great
respect for the press. Its conductors are our
masters— beneficent masters, too. If we lose a
good deal on the one hand, we gain much on the
other, in the shape of public liberty, by their free-
dom from official censorship. But to graft upon
an Asiatic constitution the unrestricted free loin of
the press was certainly one of the.maddest schemes
that ever entered the mind of any ruler.' The con-
sequences of that measure were foreseen and
foretold by a great Indian administrator—Sir
Thomas Munro—who, although favourable to
native participation in'Ae government, neverihele.s
put on record a minute in which he warned us that
a native free press would undermine the discipline
and subvert the allegiance of the Sepoy. Another
matter in which we have been going too fast is our
'imprudent interference with Hindoo customs. It
would have been a trifling matter for us to abstain
from meddling with a Hindoo woman's inability t o
remarry. Indeed, it is not an uncommon thing fur
an English widow to regret her not having lived
there under a similar restriction—(laughter)—and,
therefore, there could have bserr no -great harm i n
allowing the Asiatic relii;t td live in single blessed-
ness upon her happy recollection of her defunce
Hindoo. (Loud laughter.) But we must needs
pass a law opposed to all the 'cherished prejudicea
and prepossessions of Orientals. It was all very
well to put down suttee and other inhuman rites
and orgies. Akhbar himself, one of the greatest of
Mahomeden Sovereigns, was known to be hostile
to the immslation of a woman on her husband's
uneraii ra, ;•,• ibilto' in= ffgai•d AO 'compulsory
celibacy the game was not worth its cost.
Why persist in a course of petty interference
which can only serve to exasperate and envenom
our subjects ? Another custom which the East
India Company swept away was that of adoption ;
and it is said that the atrocities of that miscreant of
miscreants, Nana Sahib, were prompted by per-
sonal resentment for the loss he suffered under the
operation of this change. He was left the adopted
heir of Peishwa, but the Company stepped in an-1
deprived him of the pension ho claimed as inheeit-
ing from that prince. The Company left the ras-
cal guns and an embattled fortress, and these very
guns he used against our unfortunate countrymen
at Cawnpore. If they did the thing at all, they
ought to have done it thoroughly. But there is
one policy which, in my opinion, was above all
others most unwise, imprudent, and detrimental to
the interests of this country. I speak of the policy
of annexation. You know that when we first went
to India we went ae simple traders. A hundred
years ago all the territory 'we had in India wag
a few factories on the- Malabar and Coroman-
del waste, and in Bengal, amounting to
not more than 5,000 square miles. The
great Burke in his reflections on the French Revoe
lution in 1793 gave a solemn warning in his cele-
brated passage against the ambition of Great Bri-
tain. He says, "I dread that you should be too
much dreaded," and the remarkable words which
he aids are, " Our empire in India is an awful
thing." I have told you what that empire was in
1757; what was it in 1793 in the time of Lord Corn-
wallis's settlement? It amounted to 200,000 square
miles, with a population of 40 millions. What would
Burke have said had he lived to see that empire in
1.857? The 200,000 square miles under the policy of
annexation have swelled to 7 millions, with a popu-
lation of 180 millions. That, indeed, is an awful ern=
pire, and ought not to be governed on a narrow
arid contracted basis, still less on the principles of
forcing European notions upon Asiatic institutis,ns.
I have said our countrymen have done their duty
nobly ; it renc.ains for us to do ours as nobly. The
sympathy and approbation of his countrymen cheer
the absent soldier, who in the hour of danger en-
courages his comrades by telling them, " They will
talk of us in England this day." We are bound to
render them our best assistance, and when pecuniary
aid is required we sho eld give it, not grudgingly,
•but generously, and 'pith an open hand. Let me
now turret° one or t we topics of more domestic in-
terest. On the subject of education it bis occurred
to me that we are, possibly going a little too fast.
The competitive
`eystein with regard'to entrance into
1
the public servace ought not to be force on too ra-
pidly, but sh.culd be applied gradually, with due
discriminaVeen, and also, give me leave to say, with
good sense. People often come to me and say that
they want situations as clerks, or as tide-waiters, but
that they are asked to undergo an examina ioei-
through whic'n, if they could successfully pass, they

sous :
ltuerAttis lb 3uld be particularly enamoured of an
,

educational impost I don't know that I should ob-
stinately refuse to indulge them on the point. (A
laugh.) Another question, which I have ncr wish
to blink, is that of a further reform of Parliament.
I first appeared before you as the advocate of buch
a measure, and I am still prepared to advocate it.
But, if we are to have another Reform Bill, I do
regret that there is one eminent public man who,
whatever may have been his political backslidings,
is yet a fine specimen of the Englishman and the
English Liberal, and whose name is indissolubly in-
tertwined with the brightest triumphs of the Liberal
cause—l regret that Lord John Russell—(cheers)—
is not a member of the present Government. He
is far too useful a man to be consigned to the
dreary shade of a back bench. (Rear, hear.)
Lord Derby, with that wit and eloquence which
so pre-eminently distinguish him, once described
the Government of Lord Palmerston as con-
sisting of Lord Palmerston alone. Of course,
the Conservative leader did not condescend
to notice so insignificant an individual as
myself. (A laugh.) I have not the honour of a
seat in the Cabinet—l am not highly enough con-
nected for that—l am not a Brahmin. (Laughter.)
But the noble earl spoke of Lord Palmerston and
his appendages. There may, indeed, be some in-
stances in which appendages are not wholly worth-
less. The key which winds up the watch is an ap-
penday. But that is neither here nor there. Lord
Derby wished to ridicule the Ministry, and there-
fore could not take small matters into account. I
maintain, however, that a Government composed
as is the present Government, with that essential
element, community of sentiment and unity of ac-
tion, can be much more safely depended upon at a
crisis than a Cabinet-made up of orators. Ybu will
recall the poet's words—

" Whoreasons wisely is not therefore wise :
His pride in reasoning, not in acting, lies."
What has been our experience of former Admini-
strations—Administrations comprising many of the
greatest historic names ? There was the Cabinet of
" All the talents." That could hardly be called a
Cabinet of appendages. Then there was the Aber-
deen Cabinet, under which I myself first took
office. Was there ever a Cabinet stuffed so full of
plums ? (A laugh.) I speak with the highest respect
for Lord Aberdeen—a true and honest Itef rmer,
who has I believe been much misunderstood—and
I have an equal respect for many of his colleagues.
Nevertheless, they were weak in spite of their
oratories.] strength, they were not bound together
by community of sentiment. A lady of distinction
once gave a handsome entertainment to a brilliant
a.semblage of ambassadors, historians, poets, and
philosophers, and the affair having gone off very
dully, and proved in fact an utter failure, in her
natural disappointment she next day asked Toni
Moore, who had been one of her guests, why it was
her party had been so stupid. That gentleman at
once replied, "Oh ! the reason is evident ; you bad
too much quince in your apple-pie.". (a. laugh.)
So_ with the previous Ministries to which I have
reffrrO—they had too much quince in their Cabinet
pudding. (Laughter and cheers.) I ara convinced,
gentlemen, that it is much beWr for the interests
of the empire to have a man like Lord Palmerston
thelfead of the Government, supported by a
Cabinet of meriteiliarkable.at least for industry, if
not so Well known to the public as their distin-
guished chief, than it would be to havea Cabinet of
mere rhetoricians. Rhetoricians will not pull you
through an Indian crisis. Energy is the quality
needed to cope with so critical an emergency.
Whether it was a wise thing to move our army
upon Delhi and keep it there, without attempt-
ing to take the place by a coup de main, I
am not sufficiently versed in military strategy
to pronounce:- That city is strongly fortified
has a large garrison, and a mixed population of
Hindoos and Mahomedans numbering 150,000
souls, and the success of an attack by so small a
European force as our commanders have yet been
able to collect there might have been very pro-
blematical. But even if it should be deemed ex-
pedient to withdraw our troops now before Delhi
to Agra, the nation must not be discouraged. We
ought neither to be elated by partial success nor
disheartened by what may seem to be a temporary
check to our progress. RemembJr, if we do retreat
it will only be to get a greater spring. (Hear,
hear.) That we shall finally vanquish, I have no
manner of doubt. (Cheers.) The gr./at Burke,
whom I have already quo'ed, says, "A man of
pura speculative benevolence may wish the frame
of the society in which he lives to be differently
c untituted ; but a good patriot and a good poli•i-
cian will endeavour to make the best of the exist-
ing materials. The disposition to preserve and the
ab lity to improve would be my standard of a wise
and true statesman." Lord Palmerston, in my
opinion, comes up to that definition ; and I think
the nation feels confident that he will bling.this
miserable Indian revolt to the same happy termi-
nation as that to which it was his good torluue to
bring the late war with Russia. [The bon. gentle-
man, after apologising for the great length at which
he had trespassed on the pa'ience of his audience,
reiumed his seat amid vociferous and prolonged
applause.]
The remainder of the proceedings was enlivened
by a lively pas sage of arms between the hon. member
for Sandwich an I the Secretary of the Admiralty.

[ADVratissmssr.]—The following is not the least remark-
able among the numerous extraordinary cures without medi-
cine effected by Du Barry's delicious Health-Restorim,
Re-
valenta Arabica Food, 'of Indigestion (Dyspepsia), Flatufeney,
Constipation, Nervous, Bilions;and Liver Complaints, Cough,
Asthma, Consumption, and Debility:—Maastricht, Holland,
Aug. 7,1854.—My daughter Viiginie lia:d long been consump-
tive, with diarrheea midnight sweats, and was i n July last reduc-
ed to such a state of prostration and exhaustion, that our medi-
-61 men agreed there was no hope of recovery left, and that
she could not survive many days. • Upon the recommenda-
tion of a friend, we tried Du Barry's Revalcnta Arabica,
which, to the astonishment of all, caused an immediate
change for the better.in the symPtoras.. After the first few
meals she felt less .miserable, and in, six days the diarrhoea
and night sweats had left her. • She gained strength gradu-
ally, .and jn two months time was perfectly well. This excel-
lent remedy 'deservei to 'be more generally known, and
I consider I , ani only discharging a most sacred
clay, iu recommending it to all satlerers.—S. ZEGUERS.
