INDIA.

Lord STANLEY, in reply to the different questions,
said that there must necessarily be a delay, as compared
with private correspondence, or communications to public
journals. He was not prepared to say that any further dis-
tinction would be conferred on Sir John Lawrence.
With regard to the Indian artillery, it was not the intention
of Government to take the course indicated in the question
which had been put to him by an hon. member that even-
ing. He could not explain the reasons of that determina-
tion, which were of a technical character, but they were the
result of due consideration. The only copy of an Indian
tariff in his possession was that of a tariff laid before tht
Council of Calcutta, and the duty on hardware would be
increased from £5 to £lO. It was intended to equalite on
English with foreign imports.
