was altogether insufficient for the pressing
' exigencies of the Government. The Secretary of
' State further remarked that "he believed this
loan was the only one he would require" (adding,
however, as a saving clause) "unless the railroad
companies should not be able to fulfil their engage-
ments, in which he might have to ask for power to
borrow more on the railway account, and to be re-
paid by them. The sum of nearly £31,000,000,"
Sir CHARLES WOOD explained, " had been ex-
pended on railways, and about £25,000,000 more
required to be raised to complete the un-
dertakings sanctioned. Of this sum £36,000,000
had the Government guarantee." In respect to
which relative position of the Government guaran-
tee and the Railway repayment nothing could well
be more singular in its way or more exceptional.
The absolutely eccentric and whimsically round-
about way in which repayments of money are
made through the Railway Companies of Ilindostan,
by the Indian to the Imperial Government, has
recently been very happily " put " as follows by
the organ of Lord PALMERSTON'S Administration.
"The necessity," says the Post, "of promoting to
the greatest possible extent the progress of such
public works as tend to develop the resources of
the country has been long apparent to the Indian
Government. , It has accordingly, for several years
past, advanced out of the Indian revenue to different
railway companies large sums of money annually.
This year, for instance, six millions have been so
advanced. The railway companies, however, instead
of repaying to the Indian Government the loans
advanced, make their "payments into the British
Exchequer. The consequence of this system is,
that although loans are made by the home to the
Indian Government on the security of the Indian
revenues, still the railway companies form the
medium through which the repayments are made.
The payments made by the Indian railway companies
to the British Government have for several years
past averaged between two and three millions."
These left-handed payments, however, have
dropped down in the current year to no more than
as many hundreds of thousands ! Altogether it
must be admitted nevertheless that the system of
repayment here particularised as the one latterly
in vogue in Hindostan is in itself so irregular and
out-of-the-way that we cannot but hope soon to
recognise its gradual abandonment in preference
for a mode more in accordance with the financial
system of the Imperial Government.
