ME. BAITER, ALP., ON THE LATE

SESSION.

Mr. Baxter, M.P. for the Montrose burghs, has been
addressing his constituents. He appeared before them
at Arbroath on Tuesday evening, in the Corn-Exchange,
the large hall of which was well filled. Provost Lurngair
was in the chair, supported by the other magistrates and
members of the Town Council. The Provost introduced
Mr. Baxter, in a very complimentary speech, and the
hon. gentleman was received with cheering. He began
by expressing his cordial thanks for the kind manner in
which he had been received, and for the many valuable
suggestions which had been sent to him from his
constituents. He then went on to say :—Gentlemen, it
is scarcely necessary for me to tell you that last session
of Parliament was one of the most harassing and unin-
teresting which has taken place for many years. We
had constant late hours, excessively hot weather, and an
unusual amount of private business ; while there was a
total absence of political excitement or party gossip.
No great questions of national importance were debated,
and, although several measures of great practical benefit
passed both Houses, they were not, generally speak-
ing, of a nature to excite much interest either among
the members or out of doors. But do not suppose
that they were of small moment merely on that ac-
count ; for I think those men who have most closely

the success of a long desired change of the law, by an
enthusiastically-received oration or a well-reported
scene. And yet there are men in the House of CORl-
mons who have done far more for the good of their
country, who have been much more serviceable in the
cause of useful legislation than Mr. Gladstone with his
amazing rhetoric and Mr. Disraeli with his sarcastic
powers. Aye, and there are measures which excited very
little popular attention, the results of which have been
more influential than those of bills whose passage
lashed into fury the waves of Great Britain's political
sea. Having noticed with approbation the Scotch mea-
sures passed during the session, he went on to say :
While speaking on the subject of Scotch legislation, I
must, however, express my concurrence with those who
complain that so little time was last session given for
the consideration of very important bills. The fact is,
gentlemen, that the management of measures affecting
Scotland only is not on a proper footing. I have the
greatest esteem and regard fur the Lord Advocate
—I believe we never had a more efficient one—but I
cannot help feeling that no L rd-Advocate can satis-
factorily perform the duties imposed upon him as a
judicial and political officer. One thing is certain,—
that he cannot be in two places at one and the same
time; that it is rather too much to expect of a man
to be in constant attendance in London when the
Court is sitting and he has causes to plead in E lin-
burgh. Why, this very year Miss Smith's trial delayed
the Scotch business before Parliament for a fortnight,
and I think it well worthy of consideration whether or
not an humble address should bo moved to her Majesty
praying her Majesty to take advantage of the first va-
cancy in the office of Lord Advocate to appoint an
Under-Secretary of State who should take charge of
and be responsible for Scotch measures in the Im-
perial Parliament. (Cheers.) There are only two
more topics discussed during last session on which
with your leave, I would say a word. On the 7th of July
Mr. Roebuck moved a resolution to abolish the office of
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. As a friend of economy and
responsible government, I, of course, gave this proposi-
tion my warmest support, and I deeply regret that only
115 members out of the great Liberal
,majority should
have been found to vote I r doing away with a system of
sinecures benefitting no one but the tradesmen of Dublin:
and when told, as I have been on excellent authority,
that the leaders of all parties really do r ot approve this
useless pageant, I feel humiliated to find that 266 mem-
bers, including many Liberal, recorded their *suffrages
in its favour. I characterised the office as useless, and,
if this be the case, seeing it costs the country annually a
large sum of money, it ought to be abolished ; but is it
not worse than useless ? Have not many excellent
measures been baulked I have not even efficient
Secretaries for Ireland been forced to resign in
consequence of backstair influence in Dublin
Castle / This is freely stated among politicians
who ought to know sornoth:ng about the
matter, and I do hope that no electioneering considera-
tions will prevent a liberal Government removing this
obstacle to the progress of Ireland. You are aware that
I have always voted in favour of admitting Jews into
1 Parliament. As an advocate of civil and religious liberty
I can recognise no distinction of creed as affecting politi-
cal rights, but you must not be surprised if, however
noxious I am to see this last shred of exclusiveness re-
moved, I refuse to concur in any course which does not
recognise the right of the House of Lords tobe consulted
and which may involve the House of Commons in an
unseemly contest with the courts of law. By sendinc, up
so many bills on the subject to the Upper House we have
virtually admitted their claim to a veto, and, though
it is rather unusual certainly for them to persevere in
throwing out a measure passed by such large majori-
ties in the Commons, I, for one, b've great confidence
in their lordships' patriotism and in their arriving
before long at a more liberal and wiser decision. At
all events, I do not consider the matter of such im-
portance as to justify a conflict of doubtful merits
between the representatives of the people and the
peers. Neither did I concur in the courec adopted by
Lord John Russell to wards the close of last session, when
he introduced a second bill info the Commons having the
same object in view. This, it humbly appears to me,
was hardly constitutional, and, although out of courtesy
I voted for leave to bring it in, I had quite made up
my mind to vote with the Conservative party had it been
pressed to a second reading. And now I dare say you
are ready to inquire what about the Reform Bill ? It is
a question very difficult to answer. You know as much
as I do about the necessity for it, the state of feeling
throughout the country in regard to it, and the chances
of its success. All I can say is that, although no doubt
there is a time and place for everything, and although,
if the state of our Indian possessions be such as to de-
,nand much of the attention of Parliament, it would be
folly to endanger them to discuss political changes,
still I do not believe that any professed Liberal Ad
ministration can remain long in power unless it
keeps pace with the rapidly-growing intelligence of
the people, and heads every movement for gradual and
judicious reform. (Cheers.) Lord Palmerston is pub-
licly pledged next year to bring in a measure, and, un•
leas events in the East cause a general acquiescence in
its further postponement, I am not suspicious enough to
imagine that the word of promise will not be kept. I
hope it will include a further revision and improvement
of the representation of small boroughs, the disfranchise-
ment of some, the taking away of one member from
others, and granting of additional members to great
towns of comparatively recent origin which have not
their fair share in the government of the country. And
As far as Scotland at least is concerned I feel assured
that the reduction of the franchise to Si. would give us a
more intelligent and snore independent constituency than
we have at present, for there is no class of men better in
formed on political subjects and less under influence than
the more skilled workmen employed in mechanical
labour. Perhaps they have on the whole more politi-
cal knowledge than the shopkeepers. At all events, I
would gladly welcome them to the voter's list. Per-
mit rne, gentlemen, to make one er two observations
before sitting down on those lamentable occurrences which
have taken place in India, monopolising public attention,
throwing for the time into the shade every other topic,
taking the country by surprise, exciting the national
spirit to a pitch not witne sed for many years, and, alas!
filling not a few households with desolation and woe. It
would be the height of presumption in me were I to dog-
matise as to the causes of this revolt or the measures to
be taken to put it down and restore confidence and good ,
government in that great empire. My object is merely to
call your attention to two or three points which must
be discussed, and which it is very necessary that we
should all study with deliberation and impartial care. The
first question which will naturally be asked when Perla-
meat reassembles is, was no warning ever given of what
has taken place; amongthe numerous and gifted civil and
military servants of the company were there none far-see-
ing enough to predict the gathering sworn? I am afraid
the officials of Cannon-row and L.adenhalestreet will find
it difficult to persuade the Legislature and the public to
accept of a negative answer to queries which involve
culpability
and neglect. I will not say with Mr. Dis-
raeli that the councillors of the Governor-General have
by their conceit and arrogance endangered the Indian
empire ; but I am prepared to join those who will ask
thee', Did Lord Metcalfe, referring to the condition of
the Bengal army, say, 'I fear we shall wake up some
flue morning and find that her Majesty has lost India.'
Were native newspapers containing notices of wide-
spread disaffection laid before the council of 1856 ? Did
the late lamented General Anson never cease to repro-
sent to the directors the danger to be apprehended by the
Sepoys ? Did Lord Melville when he returned home
in 1850 (I quote his own words in the Masse of Lords)
express the greatest disapprobation of the condition of the
Bengal troops, and was he toll really not to publi .h his
sentiments lset foreign na"ons should be acquainted with
the state of affairs 1 Is Sir C. Napier correct in stating that
in 1849 "a mutinous spirit pervaded some 30 Sepoy bat-
talions in march for, or actually employed in, the Pun-
jab?" D.d not he, in a work published in 1853, ,y,—
" Mutiny with the Sepoys is the most formidable danger
tuenaciug our Julian empire—a danger that may corns
unexpectedly, and, if the first eyneptenns he not car--
fully treated, with a power to shake L -a lenbnP-o,reet I'
Did the Bengal Sepoys mutiny at Scinde! In 1849 was
the same spirit rampant in Delhi ? Were 20 rrg,itnents
then discovered to be infected ? Did Sir C. Napier state
on his arrival in India to assume the chief command,
that "ha found the seeds of mutiny SO All in a large
proportion of the native army I' Tease are questions
not to he hastily answered, as they centain serious
charges ; but you will a. once see that they call f„r the
fullest and 'no t searchieg inquiry on the part of the re-
presentatives of the people. if, however, there be the
sliebtest truth in such re atements, it is rather too touch
for gentlemen cocnecled v..ith the India-heti-se to toll u;
that the want of common f, rl.eararce and knowledge of
scruple
I believethe natives displayed in compelling them to use greased
cartridgesridges was the cause of the outbreak—cartridges
which, by the way, the same conscientious soldiers have
no inusin

Gentlemen,
" Staff Officer,'' who writes
most admirably on the subject, that the rising was a
Musaulman plot aided by the Brahmins, and I think,

doubt of the existence of a great and general conspiracy
for overthrowing British power. We shall likewise have
shortly t ) inqu:re whether this spirit was not fostered
by what Sir C. Napier calls the over-petting and over-
paying of the Sepoys. Even Mr. Mangles, chairman of
the Company, admitted in his place in the House of
Commons that they had been so much indulged that
their discipline had been affected, and Colonel Jacob
has told ne stories of how they were pampered which
are almost incredible. The srme "Staff Officer" to
whom I have alluded likewise writes in the most indig-
nant style "of Government encouraging the Sepoys
to dictate, to complain of their officers, to magnify
prejudices, and invent grievances." The next sub-
ject which demands our notice is the attitu3e of the
Government towards religion, and already some
feeble attempts have been made by those who have
friendslo screen to throw the blame on Christianising
efforts and the missionaries. What says the "Staff Offi-
cer" on this point ? " What has encouraged the revolt ?
Implacable hatred to us as a nation—the timid policy of a
Government who tolerate and cherish idolatry and Ma.
homedanism, and rather persecute their own religion."
Mr. Hay, an intelligent A mei ican, and one of the refugees
from Allahabad, writes-- " The Government relied upon
keeping alive the ignorant prejudices of Hiudoos and
Mahomedans, and preserving its authority by balancing
race against race and religion against religion, and the
mutiny shows that its scheme has signally failed. The
missionary schools were twice as crowded as the Govern-
ment schools. In the former the Bible and catechism
were taught, and the schools commenced and ended with
prayer. In the latter, until very recently, the Bible was
excluded. The Koran and the Shaster were in the Go-
vernmesnt schools; but no professor was ever allowed,
even if vequested, to explain anything with reference to
the Bible, even as a historical book. Nearly all the na-
tive professors and graduates of the Government univer-
sities and schools were atheists. Their education caused
them to disbelieve paganism, and they were not encou-
raged toe believe in Christianity. Many of them are im.
plicated in the present revolt." Col. Jac)b tells us that
" the incredible pretensions of the Bengal Sepoy in rela-
tion to paste are based, not upon the precepts of his reli-
gion at all, but simply upon his own subtle and design-
ing policy," and in proof of this mentions the extraordi-
nary fact that the B ;mbay army, where such claims are
toletated, contains men from "the very same villages,
thn very same families, and the very same caste" as that
of Bengal. Sir C. Napier narrates that in the 18th N.I.
there were no fewer than 430 Brahmins. Looking at
what hag taken place, I ask you, in the words of another
recent writer, should not " our future policy be an un-
bending, stern, and avowed discouragement of everything
opposed to civilisation, social morals,' and British supre-
macy ?", (Cheers.) Again, the withdrawal of military
officers to fill civil situations—carried on systematically,
and to an extent scarcely credible—was sufficient
of itself to destroy discipline. Sir C. Napier assigned this
as one of his chief reasons for resigning the command.
No fewer than 443 officers of the Bengal army had at
that time been thus withdrawn by the civil authorities,
and it is well known that the cleverest and ablest men
are generally selected, leaving the dull and the inexpe-
i ieuced to manage the troops. Then the soldiers were
harassed by being made to do the duties of a police,
which the Company ought long ago to h •ve established
on a proper footing, instead of which they thwarted Lord
Ellenborough and every one who tried to organise it.
The discipline of an army is necessarily impaired when
its men are draughted off to collect taxer, carry letters,
guard magistrates, and put down street rows. Parlia-
ment then, gentlemen, after all the causes of this fearful
outbreak have been investigated and the real culprits ex•
posed, wily be called on to provide for the reorganisation
of t he native army, for it is impossible to boll India with
Fri ish,troops alone, to consider the requisite augmeo-
ta ion of the European force, and, regarding as well the
done er to be apprehended from internal commotions as
that likely to rise from hostility on the part of the Mah-
ratta. States, of Ave, Affghanietee, and Nepaul, to make
arrangements for the defence of the empire. In doing so I
I hope they will not forget to urge on Government the ne-
cessity of stationing a sufac:ency of gunboats on the
Gauges, the Indus, and their tributary streams. But the
great question will be the continued existence of the Ea.t
India Company; whether that mercantile oligarchy
hould be held as scarcely responsible for any of the
evil 3 admitt d to exist, and therefore permitted to con-
tinue its influence or policy; or whether, in considera-
tido of the growing feeling even in Celcutta itself, as
indicated by the unanimously passed resolution of a
public meeting and the widespread sentiment at borne,
it should be condemned as effete and inefficient, and India
he brought into more immediate cannexion with the
British Crown. (Cheers ) We have three or four years
at lea4of arduous and severe work before us, we have
to crush with a high hand one of the greatest revolts in
hi-tory ; we have to reform the Government of
200,000,000 of men; but I rejoice to think that the
Indian army possesses men fitted for the crisis, whose
cool heads and admirable judgment have already saved
an empire, whose deeds of chivalry and daring rival the
grandest exploits in the historic page. The marches and
the despatches of Havelock remind us of the earliest days
of Roman achievement ; at Agra, at Lucknow, and at
Arrah you have bands of Englishmen who have heart
and hand to boll any Therinopylte, and Iforatius Coc!es
on the Snlpician bridge, holding the Etrurian army at
hay, displayed no sublimer spectacle of heroic bearing
than did Captain Skene and others of our countrymen
who fought like lions against overpowering numbers,
whose yalour has produced an effect in Asia scarcely to
be effacied by time. (Cheers.)
A view of thanks was cordially passed to Mr. Baxter
for his able and independent sera ices, arid the meeting
separated. Tae hon. member also addressed his con-
stituents at Forfar un similar topic 3, and was cordially
received.

CBEMORYE GARDENS AND TUE
ARGYLL LOOM.

(Before Mr. Po wnall and a full Bench of Magistrates.)
Yesterday being appointed for the hearing el the
opposition of the Vestry of St. Luke's, Chelsea, to the
renewal of the license fur Oren:llrue Gardens, the court
was crowded to excess, and the greatest interest pre-
va led.

Mr. Sergeant Bellantine, in oppotition to the
renewal of the license, opened the case, and urged the
bench to refuse the application on the ground that the
gardens, owiog to the manner in which they were con-
ducted, had become a nuisance to the neighbourhood.
He also said the surrounding property had become so
depreciated in value that serious loss had been entailed
up )11 the vestry of Saint Luke's, Chelsea. It was
the practice of keeping the gardens open until
an advanced hour in the morning, and, after the fire-
works, a class of visitors arrive who kept the neigh.
bourhood in a state of uproar until nearly four o'clock.

The Chairman said he thought it would save time if he
stated what he thought was the opinion of the bench,
that arrangements should be entered into with Mr. Simp-
son to admit no new visitors afrer 12 o'clock.
A Magistrate dissented from such a proposition being
considered to be the unanimous opinion of the bench.
He did not think that any other condition than that
laid down by the law should be imposed on Mr. Simpson.
The Chairman said he did not say it was the unani-
mous opinion of the bench, but of the thainity.
Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., who appeared for Mr. Simp-
son, said, as such a proposition had been thrown out
by the chairman, be thought it but right that counsel
should retire and see whether any arraogernent could
be come to. If b o result was arrived at, then the hear-
inse of evidence could be proceeded with.
The learned gentlemen engaged in the case then left
the court, and after a short absence they returned into
court.

Jalnes't,.

Mr. giwia Jamem, Q 3 , appareti for Mr.

Mr. Edwin James informed the bench that the cons
Erence bad been attended with no practical result.
Mr. Sergt. Ballantine said the terms he had proposed
to his learned friend were, that Ceemorne Gardens
should be treated precisely in tie same manner as the
Grecian Saloon an! High bury Barn, viz., that the gar-
dens be closed and cleared by 12 o'clockevery evening.
Mr. El win James said such a proceeding would utterly
ruin his client. On the part of Mr. Simpson he was
prepared to enter into arrangements that the fireworks
should be discharged at 11 o'clock, that no new visitors
should be admitted after one, and that the gardens should
be closed at two.

Bignold.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said he was instructed on
the part of the authorities of the parish of St. James's
to oppose the renewal of this license. The
Argyll Rooms had become a nuisa.nca to the neigh-
bourhood, in consequence of the immense number of
prostitutes that nightly assembled there. Aftsrl2 o'clock,
at which hour the rooms closed, the neighbourhood of
the Haymarket presented such a scene of vice that the
parish authorities had determined, if possible, to re-
press the nuisance, and with that view they opposed the
application now made by Mr. Bignold.
Two inspectors of police were ex trained. They stated
that, owing to the attractions of the Argyll Rooms,
houses of ill-fame bad greatly increased in the surround-
ing streets, and that extra police officers had to be
stationed in the Haymarket after the Argyll Rooms
closed ; and that the number of drunk and disorderly
night charges from that district was almost incredible.
Mr. E. James said the attempt to remove the plague•
spot of prostitution from this c ,untry was much to be
applauded, but he did not think the refusal of this license
was the right way to set about it. Mr. Bignold, the pre-
seat proprietor of the Argyll Rooms, had for the last
seven years carried on that establishment, and up to the
present time no complaint had been made. He bad
lately expended a large sum of money on the premises,
and it was hard that he was to be sacrificed to the new
born zeal of the parochial authorities. The right
way to set about the reformation was to put down those
vile places celled " night houses," which abounded in
the Haymarket. If the vestry did that they would
merit the thanks of the public, but to come before
the bench and oppose the renewal of the license
of the Argyll Rooms because prostitution flourished in
the Haymarket was absurd and uncharitable in the ex-
treme.

Mr. Byng, magistrate, proposed that Dir. Simpson,
terms be assented to.
Mr. E. James said it was perfectly legal for the bench

to pursue such a course.
