FOUNDERING OF A LONDON AND
BREMEN STEAMER.

The foundering of the Butjadingen, London and
Bremen steamer, in the North Sea, during the late
heavy weather, was announced yesterday at Lloyds.
Happily the whole of her passengers and crew were
saved. They were landed at Margate ou Tuesday.
Tho steamer left Bremen ou Wednesday, with 250
head of cattle on board. She was pursuing her
usual course from Texel across the North Sea, to
make the English lind somewhere near Lowestoft,
when she encountered the fearful weather of Thurs-
day night, the wind blowing heavy from S. S.E.
A tremendous sea struck her stern, carrying away
her rudder and sternpost, and causing her to leak
considerably. Every effort was made to reduce the
leak
and repair the injury, but the gale continuing,
all their exertions

the
night and following day Captain

got
one available to take those on board to the
schooner. The nine passengers—amongst them
were two women and two childrtn—were first got
off ; and after several passages of the boat the
whole of the crew were conveyed to the schooner.
The Butjadingen must have foundered shcrtly
afterwards. She was a powerful three-masted iron
screw steamer, and was built at Shields three yea] s
since. In addition to the 25U cattle she had on
loss of the ship and cargo will amount to several i
board, she had a quantity of merchandise. The
thousand pounds. She is reported to be insured.

If the sole object of your honourable Court in ap-
pointing your committee bad been that which is ex-
pressed in the foregoing reference, we should have con-
sider ed our labours had ended with the adoption of our
last report ; but it will be remembered that although
the reference grew out of a report from the Improvement
Committee, respecting the raising of money, and was
moved without notice, yet the Court was pleased to
suspend its standing orders to permit the appointment
of a Special Revenue Committee with larger functions,
upon the express understanding that full information
would be furnished to the Court as to the financial state
of the corporation, in conformity with a notice of motion

that had been placed on the paper of business by an
honourable member, who was by a special resolution of
the Court added to the committee to assist in conduct-
ing the investigation.
In order that we might give full effect to the inten-

tions and objects of your honourable Court in our ap-
pointment, we directed the several ()facers of the Corpc-
ration to lay before us all the accounts specified both in
the order of reference and the notice of motion, together
with such other documents as we thought necessary ;
and, after maturely considering the same, we take leave
to report the following results :
The first document submitted to our consideration is
a statement, prepared by Mr. Payne, the principal clerk
to Mr. Chamberlain, "showing the revenue and expen-
diture of the City's estate, for the year ending the 31st
Dec., 1856, and distinguishing the ordinary from the ex-
traordinary items both of expenditure and receipts." By
this statement,, which wei have annexed, it appears that
the total receipts of the corporation during the year
1856 amounted to 254,7411., whereof 227,1251. is classed
by Mr. Payne as ordinary, and 27,6161. as extraordinary
receipts, while 215,944/, is given as the amount of its
ordinary, and 46,3911. is stated to be its .x!raordinary
expenditure during the. yeai ; thus it should seem that,
although during the year there was a surplus of 11,1811.
of ordinary revenue over the ordinary expenditure of the
corporation, yet'there was an excess of 18,7741. in the
extraordinary expenditure over the extraordinary reve•
nue, leaving upon the entire,year's account a general de-
ficiency of 7,5931.
It is obvious that a statement of this description for the
year 1856, or any other single year must necessarily con-
tain some items on both sides of the account peculiar to
that particular year, which may render it quite unsuit-
able as a guide in making regulations for future years.
We requeAed Mr. Chamberlain to lay before us in a
tabulated form a summary of receipts and payments of
what is termed the City's cash, for ten years, from 1847 to
1856 (both inclusive), to be extracted from the printed
statements of the produce and expenditure of the City's
estate, which by the 20th standing order are annually
laid before the Common Council and circulated amongst
Its members. In this tabulated statement the several

items of oroinary and extraordinary receipt and expen-
diture are likewise separated and placed in juxtaposi-
tion in each year, as in the first account.

The total receipts and payments of each of the ten
years will be fouod added up at the foot of each yearly
column. The sum of the several items for the whole
ten years is given in the two right-hand columns of the
tabulated account, and will show the total amount of
the City's receipts and expenditure, both ordinary and
extraordinary during the whole period. As the account
extends over ten years, the yearly average of each
respective item, as well as of their aggregate amount,
will of course he obtained by striking off the right-hand
figure from the total amount of pounds in the two right-
hand columns of the account.

We have annexed a copy of the tabulated statement
to this report, from which every member of the Court
will be able, at one glance, not only to ascertain the
aggregate and average amount of every particular branch
of revenue and expenditure during the whole period
embraced in the table. but he may compare and contrast
the amount of each particular branch in any year with
the corresponding branch in every other year. In case
any further explanation shall be required, it can be
readily obtained by referring to the printed annual
statements, which contain, in detail, the items from
which the abstract is takes.

We have likewise had prepared a synopsis of the
tabulated statement omitting the detailed items, and
showing only the totals of the several years. A copy
of the synopsis we likewise annex to this report.
From these tables it appears that, during the 10 years
to which they relate, the receipts amounted to 2,595,2161.,
whereof 2,007,4421. is classed as ordinary, and 587,7731•
as extraordinary receipts. Per Contra, it appears that
during the same period the corporation has expended
2,578,9281., whereof 1,780,111/. is given as ordinary, and
798,8171. as extraordinary expenditure. The difference
between 2,595,2161., the total amount of the receipts,
and 2,578,9281., the total amount of payments, namely,
16,288/., represents the excess of receipts over payments
during the 10 years. This sum agrees with the cash ba-
lance in the hands of the Chamberlain at the end of that
period, which exceeded by that amount the oash balance
in bands at its commencement,
It likewise appears by these accounts that during these
10 years the corporation has paid of 30,400/. (exclusive
of interest, amounting to 4,2901. 35. Bd.), which it had
previously borrowed on bonds to purchase prop rty for
the formation of Victoria-street leading to Clerkenwell.
It has likewise laid by 113,0231. out of the surplus ren-
tal of Finsbury estate, which is annually set aside by act
of Common Council, for investment in funded, freehold,
or leasehold property, to replace the loss of income the
corporation would otherwise suffer by the falling in of
the Finsbury lease in 1867. This sum has been from time
to time invested in Government securities, out of which
the sum of 29,5121. 10s. has since been applied to the
purchase of ground in Victoria-street, by authority of the
Common Council. These sums of 30,4001. and 113,0231.
will be found amongst the payments in the tabulated
account, and, together with the 16,2881. cash balance
above referred to, oonstitute a total of 159,7111. to the
credit side in the City's acceunt.

On the other hand, amongst the extraordinary receipts
in the tabulated accounts, will be found 92,7001., the
amount of monies borrowed to provide for the construc-
tion of Holloway Prison, and 43,0001. raised for pur-
chasiug the site and building the Metropolito.o Cattle
Mai ket. These several sums are still outstanding upon
bonds of the Corporation, and the principal and interest
are charged upon its estates and revenues. In determin-
ing what has been the actual expenditure of the Cor-
poration during the ten years, it will be. necessary to
treat the total of these two sums (535,7001.) as so much
money actually sunk ; and if from this sum we deduct
the 159,7111., wo shall have a sum of 375,9891„ which
shows the excess of our corporate expenditure over its
income during the tea years, on account of what is termed
the City's cash. But, in determining the actual excess
of -our corporate expenditure over its income, this
37i,989/. must be increased by 540,0001., the amount
raised upon bond for the formation of New Csnnon-street.
The principal of this sum has been charged upon the 4 1.
coal dues, which is the property of the Corporation, and
the interest of the loan is provided out of its annual in-
come.

As the whole of this 540,000 d. has been borrowed and
expended during the ten years, and is stilt an outstand-
ing debt, and does not yield any return, it is impossib!is
to do other wise than treat it as part dour col porate ex-
penditure during that period, although it is not to be
found either in the autumnal accounts of the City's
cash, or in the tabular statements taken from them. W 4
have therefore added it to the foregoing sum of 375,9391.,
and have to report to your honourable Court that the
expenditure of the Corporation during the ten years
from let Jan., 1847, to 31st Dee., 1856, has exceeded
its income by the sum of 915,9891. The sum of 20,000/
per annum, which appears in the annual accounts of the
City's cash, as a grant by the Common Council for pub-
lic improvements within the City, is applied in part pay-
ment of interest upon this loan of 540,0001. According
to the ancient practice observed in keeping the accounts
in the chamberlain's office, this fund, and the several
other funds specified in this report as Nos. 4,5, 6,7, 8,
are not considered as City's cash, but treated as trust
funds. They are separately audited, and from to time
reported to the Court by the several committees who act
under its directions.
Having, in the foregoing statement aad the annexed
table, placed before your honourable Court a full account
•f the receipts and expenditure of the Corperation, we
now proceed to submit to your consideration " An ac-
count of its liabilities at the termination of the last finan-

Ninety-two thousand pounds (besides the-value of the
site, which is not iceludod in this sum), appears to be a
very large amount as the cost of a house of correction for
the reception of 400 p:ieoners. •It should, however, be
remetnbered that at the time this building was erected,
the Secretary of State regnired • ail prisoes to be built
upon the plan of the Model Prison at Pentonville ; and,
although the Government has since that period adopted
for its own purposes a cheaper system both of prison
construction and management, yet at that time the In-
spector-General of Prisons, acting under the authority
of the Secretary of State, was invested by law with the
power to prescribe and enforce this expeesive form of
construction, which the Corporation Was obliged to
adopt. After these exp!anations, it is not too much to
say that the money thus expended has previded for the
service of the City one of the finest and best-arranged
prisons upon the separate system that has ever been
produced.

2. THE METROPOLITAN CAME MARKET.
The new market, which forms the other 'ergo item in
this class of expenditure - was, it should be likewise
observed, undertaken at the wish of her Majesty's
Government, as part of an arraegetnent connected with
other important inattere ache ing the interest of the

public accommodation, with which in point of size, con-
venience, and beauty, no similar establishment in the
world can be compared. It is to be hoped that in the

Portion of the debt and the interest which at present
presses heavily upon its income.
The property Corp of the Corration upon which the
535,700/ , the total of the foregoing bonds 1 and 2 may
be said to be secured, consists of freehold and leaseholds
lauds and houses, producing a gross annual rental ex-
ceeding 100,0001., in addition to which the surplus-saving
of the Finsbury rental before referred to is available for
investment in land or houses.
3. geaItrANENT STREET IMPROVEMENT FUND.
The Corporation has borrowed during the last seven
years 540,000/, for constructing New Cannon-street, and
effecting other street improvements around the Royal
Exchange and in other parts of the city. The money was
borrowed on the corporation bonds, under the authority
of Parliament, and the payment of the principal and
annual interest (20,3001 ) is seemed by Acts of Common
Council upon the City's 4.1. duty on coals, to which the
corporation is entitled in perpetuity, and which fund is
an increasing one, and yielded in the year 1856 a net
revenue of about 60,000/.
4.• THAMES NAVIGATIGN BONDS.
Many years since, the Corporation borrowed, under
the directions of several acts of Parliament, various
large ethos. of money, secured by its corporate seal on
the tolls of the Teatues navigation above London-bridge.
On the 31st Dec., 1856, the sum of 130,9001. was out-
standing upon these bonds, bearing an annual interest
of 4,5811. 10e. Of late years the charges upon this
fund have considerably exceeded its annual revenue,
and the deficiency, averaging between 2,0001. and
3,0001. a year, has been advanced by the Corpora-
tion. During the last ten years the total sum thus ad-
vanced by the Corporation has amounted to 34,5811.
10e. As conservators of the river, the Corporation, un-
der the Acts of Parliament, likewise administered the
affairs of the river Thames below London-bridge and
in that capacity possessed a conaidrrable surplus fund,
which, however, was not availible to supply the defici-
encies of the upper districts, although the interests of
the river above and below London-bridge were so inti-
mately connected that any
,injury which might be suf-
fered by one would necessarily be felt by the other.
This defect in the Thawes Navigation and Port of
London Acts has now . been rectified by the legislature.
The act passed during the last session amalgamates the
two funds, and transfers them, with other newly-created
sources of revenue, to ehaeew Conservancy Commission.
By this means the Corporation will be effectually re-
lieved from all yesponsibility in respect of the sums bor-
rowed for the purposes on the credit of its corporate seal.
5. BracicrnrAns-BRIDGE BONDS.
In 1333, when the
engerous state of Blackfriars-
bridge rendered a considerable outlay necessary for its
restoration, the Corporation was empowered by Act of
Parliament to borrow the ri posit° funds for the purpose
upon the credit of the Bridge-houee estates. That fund
was far more than sufficient to secure the repayment of
the sum required, but as it stood at that time charged
with the payment to the Lords Commissioners of her
Majesty's Treasury of certain annuities, terminating be-
tween the years 1867 and 1871, the Corp ration was
obliged to guarantee the prineipal and'interest, in case of
need, by Wedging the credit of its seal for the amount of
the required loan.
We find that the amounts of these bonds outstanding
on the 31 -t De.-., 1856,
was 73,100/., bearing an annual
interest of 2,967/. I.os. We likewise find that the present
net annual produce of the Bridge•houee estatesis 27,0001.
the annuities which will terminate in 1871 amount to
21,550/. The rental of the Bridge-house estate!, princi•
Dally
• lly situated in the City and suburbs, is largely in-
creasing in value, and there is no doubt but that both
the
City seal will be duly met, without ca!ling upon
the interest and principal of the money borrowed on
the
Corporation.

6. DOTAL RXCLIANDE BONDS.
Upon the destruct.on of the Royal Exchange by fire
in 1837, the Corporation borr)wed 85,0001. upon its seal
towards defraying a moiety of the costa of its reconstruc-
tion. This ....tun is still outstanding. The annual interest
amounting to 2,9651., is charged, as well as the principal
money, on the rciits and revenws of the Royal Ex-
change. In 801119 years the annual income has not been
quite sufficient to in .et the charge, and the Corporation
has supplied the deficiency by a loan to the fund. The
PreAent-annual rental ainoun:s to 5,7851., and exceeds
the txpinditure, including the interest on the bonds.
Property in general in
.the City is increasing in value.
It appears to us that this property is sufficient to meet
both the principal and interest of this debt, so as ti
relieve the Corporation from any responibilities on this
account.

7. PERMANENT STREET IMPROVEMENT B)NDS.
Under the authority of an act of Parliament, the Cor-
porationgranted bonds fur 88,0001. towards the irn-
provetnents in Clerkenwell. The suing, and bears interest at 3,11 per cent. Payment of both

per annum. The principal will be paid off in the course
of the next, five years out. of this fund, according to its
order of priority, along with other sums borrowed under
acts of Parliament for street improvements in the me-
tropolis.
8. TEMPORARY STREET IMPROVEMENT IONDS.
We find that on the 31st of December last, the Cor-
poration was indebted unon bonds in the sum of
430,0001., name-ly, 130,000/. borrowed to finish Cannon-
etteet, and 250,0001. to complete the Clerkenwell itn•
provetnents. These sums have been borrowed at

We think it would be likewise expedient to have some
fixed day annually set apart for the discussion of the
general financial affairs of the Corporation in the Court
of Common Council, upon which occasion arrangements
may be made for fixing the expenditure during the
ensuing financial year, by which means a due re-
lation between its income and expenditure may be
established. It likewise appears to your committee
to be a matter of importance that arrangements
should be adopted, as early as possible, to reduce the
temporary loans of the Corporation secured on outstand-
ing bonds.
We abstain frora pointing specifically to any particular
measure whereby, in onr opinion, the income of the Cor-
poration may be increased, its depts duniniAied, or its
expenditure reduced, without impairing the efficiency of
our corporate administration, these objects being beyond
the scope of our reference ; but if it should be the plea-
sure of your Hon. Court to give us directions to that
effect before we surrender our appointment into your
hands, we shall endeavour faithfully to execute your
instructions.

It is expected that at the next Court a sharp diecus
con will take place upon the conduct of the members o
the Corporation who sanctioned a course of extrava
gance, by which the expenditure exceeded the receipts
to the enormous &monist of 90,0001. a year for the last
ten years.

TRE BISHOP OF OX FORD AND MR. GLAD-
STONE ON INDIAN AFFAIRS.

MEETING AT CHESTE

On Monday the annual meeting of the Society
for the Aid of Foreign Missions was held at the
Music Hall, Chester ; and in the evening a second
meeting, in furtherance of the same object, took
place. At both the Lord Bishop of the diocese
presided.
At the evening meeting the Right. Hon. W. E.
Gladstone, M.P., spoke as Mows :—My lord
bishop, friends, and brethren, I have undertaken to
move a resolution, the purport of which is as fol-
lows :—" That the present crisis in India, together
with the rapidly increasing field of labour opening
out before the society calls for extended exerti on
and support from Englishmen, to further the
spread of the Gospel, notwithstanding tha p.nsenb
trials and difficulaies." After some preliminary
observations as to the other foreign missions of the
society, Mr. Gladstone said—And now we come to
the occurrences that have give rise to the reso-
tie° which I now move—that two of the lights
which have been lighted iu India by this society—
one at Delhi and the other at Cawnpore—have for
the moment been quenched in gore, and the mis-
sionaries who were doing God's work have added
their names to the noble army of martyrs
(Hear, and cheers.) My lord Bishop, that misery
is one which fills, at the present moment, the
hearts of every one. It is not as in a case where
danger is at our door—it is not that the power and
the glory of England are in danger, but it is the
sufferings to which England has been subjected—
it is not only to those who were engaged in the pur-
suits of traffic, or engaged in the administration' .of
the powers of Government—but it is grief that the
peaceful missionary of the cross has been deprived
of his life—of the wife of his bosom, and the babe
of his arms. My lord, why is it that, at this mo-
ment, this great visitation has crime upon us ?
Was it not time that something should arrive from
on high to bring us to consider our position and
our conduct ? For years England has been be-
coming more and more a spectacle to the world.
During the last ten years particularly, we have wit-
nessed an almost unexampled increase of her great-
ness' and her prosperity. We have had at once
wealth and the security and the blessings of peace
on the one 'hand,- with the' intoxicating, glory and
success of War on the other.- - We have seen
great advances in the condition of the people—
an immense
.increase in the trade of the country
—a real increase in the comforts of the great mass
of the population ; and we appear to have as-
cended the ladder so rapidly, that it may have made
us forget from whose hands we received all those
blessing, For perhaps it may have been observed,
that a spirit had gone forth amongst us savouriug too
much of pride and negligence, and recalling the me-
mory of those who, in early times, Sought to scale
Heaven itself with the works of their hands. Oh,
my lord, it is good that, at this peculiar petiod, we
should be awakened by calls of thunder to think of
Hint from whose hand we have received all that we
have received ; in whose hand is all that we now
possess, and whose creatures we ourselves are.
And, surely, in the circumstances of this mercy
there are likewise points so peculiar and character-
istic that they should be carried home to us as of
deep note. Now, for example, if there has been, as
my right rev. friend has observed, one error which
more than another has been cautiously avoided in
India, it has been that of indiscreet zeal for the pro-
pagation of Christianity ; and having applied our
own minds to the avoidance of that indiscreet zeal,
what do we find now happens ? Why, that this re-
volt has taken place under the belief—a belief which
has undoubtedly existed in the minds of the army
of Bengal—that they were about to be made Chris-
tians through force, through the acts of the Go-
vernment, and, again, -it might be said that there
has not been a perfect observance of right and jus-
tice in all our proceedings in India. It is clear,
however, that the persons who served in the army
have been the special objects of regard, considera-
tion, affection, and indulgence from the Indian
Government. Nay, more, because among the dif-
ferent armies in India—for there are three armies
in different parts of the empire—one has been
chosen to be petted beyond all others. lt is the
army of Bengal, and it is that army which has risen
against us. The cause is a belief that those who
have never attempted to make them Christians—
nay, would not permit them to become Christians
—were going to force Christianity upon them.
Now, my lord, I think, if we read the manner in
which Divine judgments come upon man, we may
perceive in these great national affairs lessons of
the Divine purposes conveyed to us. Unfortu-
nately, if there was a people who had cause for
great national humiliation in respect of a great
national crisis, I do. not hesitate to say it is the
people of England at the present moment. But
here again I must avoid going into a ques-
tion of who is to blame and who is not to
blame. That is not a question to be settled
here. It is, perhaps, a question difficult to be
settled at all. India has been governed upon
a system and a principle originally devised by
the British Parliament—a sytem by which it was
thought necessary to dissociate the Government of
that countrp from the popular institutions of this
country. The effect of this most curious contri-
vance for governing in India was that it made it to
us as a foreign country; and I do not hesitate to
say that no man in England knows 'or can know
India, unless he has made or chooses to make it a
subject of special study, as he would make the
, affairs of any other foreign country. (Hear.) Eng-
,. land knows nothing of India. Our public men

oven know nothing of that vast empire, unless, 'in-
deed, they devote-their time and. lahou'r in acquir-
ing a knowledge of its affairs. As they Would.learn
the affairs of Russia, so miist they learn the affairs
of India, because we have continued a system of
government for India which interposes an impene-
trable screen between the ordinary habitual and
daily routine of. G-OvernMent affairs in England
and the administration of Indi in affairs. (Hear,
hear.) Therefore, Ido not at all presume to enter
into the question who is to blame, or whether any
one is to blanie. It may be that it has been our
own fault, the fault of our divided responsibility,
the fault of our system of absolute secrecy ; it may
have sprung from the difference in the system, of
administration 'in this country and that adminis-
tered in India ; but, whatever the cause of the out-
break, you may search the records of history far
and wide before you come across an instance of so
vexatious and extraordinary a failure on the part of
a governing power in the administration of its po-
litical trust. (Appl-tuse.) We go into that coun-
try with supers -r strength'. We are acknowledg-d
conquerors. The natives met us in the field, and
they felt that their military-genius was subordinate
to our own. Their organisation becomes, our work,
and our government in India became the admira-
tion of the 'world.' Ido not ber eve that up to a
few months ago, anything could have apparently
surpassed the manner in which our Indian Govern-
ment and our Indian army were organised.
In a moment the whole staff of ;our strength
in India not alone crumbles in our bands,
but pierces our hearts at the same time ;
and a great part of that immense country
is to be reconquered by British arms. (gear hear.)
If capable of being taught a leason of Ildnanity,
hers are certainly facts teaching that lesson. lam
afraid, even at the present moment, when we are
humiliating ourselves before God, and imploring
pardon of sin and a blessing up' -n English arms in
lu.lia, our hands are not altogether clean. lam
b mind to admit that, for the last twenty-five years,
during which I myself have taken part in public'
affairs, I have observed grievous instances of policy
in respect of our Indian empire,—measures under-
taken without a shade of justice, and a perfect scan-
dal to English history ; and no page of that history
has fouler blots upon it than that which refers to
our Eastern policy. (Applause.) The question is,
what is our duty in this great crisis ? Some persoris
think that we should be well rid of the labour and
the responsibility ; and, on the other hand, some
think that England would be no longer England if
India were to be torn from her. I believe myself
there is nothing clearer than the duty of England
to use every effort and exertion to keep her hold
upon India—(hear, hear)—that there should be no
sparing pf resources—no sparing of sacrifices to re-
instate the British power in peaceful possession- of
the whole of that vast territory. But then, on the
other hand, it is not because I believe that the
possession of Indian is necessary for the sustenta-
tion of the power and glory of England. Depend
upon it, it is no such thing. It is upon no such
narrow and selfish basis that I for one would urge
the duty of using the energies and the power of
this great empire for the retention of our Indian
possessions—it is upon the ground of a solemn
moral obligation. (Cheers.) The question is, not
whether we were justified in the acquisition of the
country or not—the question is not whether our
hands were clean or not in those acquisitions—the
questiori is, what obligations have we contracted
towards the nearly two hundred millions of people
under our rule in India, and towards the God who
cares for that people as much as for us. (Applause.)
To fulfil these obligations truly, there is still abun-
dant work for England.—and for England to give
up India would be one of the greatest calamities
that could befall the people. I argue thus not
because of the material benefits of the connexion—
for, after all, these benefits are but of secondarycon-
sideration. It is not on account of the benefits to
ourselves—for., after all, England would not per-
haps greatly suffer in the essential elements of her
power—but it is because we have perhaps rashly
and p esumptuously, placed ourselves in the con-
dition of trustees standing between God Almighty
on the one hand, and two hundred millions of his
creatures on the other and because it is our abso-
lute duty to discharge the trust we so undertook to
the glory of God, and the benefit -of these his

creature;. Well, then, my lord, in what manlier
is that trust to be discharged ? For my own part,
I certainly do go the whole length with those who
are of opinion that Christianity is never to be en-
forced, and never to be propagated to the prejudice
of justice ; and that we are bound not in deroroga-
tion to Christian principles, but in consequence of
Christian principles, to abstain both from force,
fraud, and from anything that bears a resem-
blance either to force or fraud, in respect to tho
propagation of the Gospel. (Rear, hear, and
cheers.) It appears to me that we have to ask—
that what this society and the people of England
have a right to ask and exact from the Government
in India amounts to this, that the Government
should separate itself from all practices—if any
such practices there still remain—should separate
itself from any remaining practices by which it
appears to be implicated in the acknowledgment of
the prevailing false religion and false worship of
the coun t ry—(lo ud cheers)—and that having severed
their own political and public action from connexion
with those false religions, the next thing they
should do would be to establish a perfect freedom
and toleration of opinion. (Hear, hear.) But we
have a duty beyond the establishment of toleration
in India, and that is, a strict adherence to propriety
of conduct on the part of our European residents
there—the avoidance of unjust and unnecessary;
wars—the avoidance of all - countenance, and
especially of all direct connexion, and substantial
connexion, with all demoralising practices,
under whatever name they may be • veiled,
and with whatever apparent practical advantages
or necessities they nay be allied. But by
what means and by what agency, then, are
we to discharge those immediate obligations which
appertain to us in connexion with the Gospel of
Christ ? I must confess that I have great faith in
that silent preaching of Christianity which is con-
nected with the general exhibition of Christian con-
duct both in the lives of private individuals and

likewise in the direction of public policy. For, in
truth, iu heathen countries generally, and, certainly
not least of all over the vast Indian provinces, the
sufferings the people have undergone in former times
from the cruel inflictions of wicked governments
have been such that there cannot be found on the
earth a popula' ion more ready to recognise and ap-
presnate the differences between Christianity and a
Christian method of government and heathenism,
and a heathen form of government. And, my lord,
we have the consolation that amid present distress,
as far as we are enabled to form a judgment, al-
though the whole native military power of a consi-
derab'o portion of the country has revolted from
us, yet, think God, there is no evidence that the
will and di,position of the people are adverse—
(cheers)—but, on the contrary, as far as we can tell,
the great mass of those peaceable and quiet flindoos
arc disposed to acquiesce in, nay, perhaps, rather to
welcome and support, the sway of the Najd' Go-
vernment. (Cheers.) But if it be true, as I believe
it is true, that y,.ti cannot-look to the direct action
of your Government for the propagation of the gos-
pel—if it, be not only contrary to policy, but to
duty, that you should enforce on them that propa
gation, then, I ask, is not the appeal made to you
to-night made on strong grounds I For, if we can-
not propagate Christianity as a state and as a king-
dom, why should we not propagate it as a Church
and as a people ? (Loud cheers.) Why not try our
own individual exertions and individual contribu-
tions, and endeavour, by prayer, to strengthen the
bands of those who are willing to go forth iu this
service—willing to bravo the dangers that the la-
bours in such a land may entail—willing to make
sacrifices that we may desire, and who have,
through the energy of this society, and by the
great and holy operations that it has conducci.d,
done much to dispel the darkness that lowered
round many nations of the globe ? (Loud cheers.)
Mr. Gladstone then compared the IrAla famine of
1847 and the subsequent prosperity of that country
to what had happened, and he hoped might happen
in India. We feel that England has at this mo-
ment a great, and even an awful vocation before
her. She has got to administer strict and stern
justice ; 'but to administer it, as I trust, even in a
spirit of mercy, which can never be separated from
that of justice ;
and above all to recollect that ven-
geance is -not an instrument which we are per-
mitted to take into our hands. The cry that went
out from this country for vengeance was, I hope,
but the, passion of the moment. The frightful
atrocities that have been perpetrated must neces-
sary kindle to the very greatest heat the passions of
those whose duty it is to put'down this rebellidn in
India. They do not require to be inflamed' and
inspirited by missives sent from hence. (fear,
hear.) In fact, that severity may- ;even that rage
which can be under Stood and accounted for—which
can be palliated and excused in those who have be-
fore them perhaps the reeking. remains of English
women and children—those passions which may be
excusable there, become odious and unnatural when
they. are cherished here. (Loud cheers.) My lord

service will be the objects of severe comment, because
it is by their policythatthe t Wolast-Governors-Gene-
nd have ruled our Indian Empire. But it is neither
wise nor generous to attack individuals; with the
best intentions to do good,:thay are often only the
instruments of evils they lenient, Public opinion,
however, may be -brought tifiliFarin a most salutary
way on a bad system, and oblige reforms. I 'remem-
ber many gentlemen who passed through Paris atter
the Crimean war confessed with deep regret to being
the instruments of many grave blunders—" But
what could we do ; who would take upon himself
responsibility and even if things went well get repri-
rnanded ?" Such observations I have heard from
the bravest and best of men. A want of supreme
power, and &vigorous and determined will to enforce
it, are the reasons why in time of war we do not
accomplish it) much as the splendid materal of our
army and navy lead the nation to expect. The evils
I have ventured to record have, according to the re-
ports of friendly spectators, been going on in India,
andmilitary advice has been too often pooh-poohed.
One cannot help asking—has the Home Govern-
ment provided Sir Colin Campbell with powers to
suspend the old machinery of Government, at least
until the mutiny is thoroughly put down ? Ale
her Majesty's advisers at lilme aware of the views
:Ind character of the men who, holding high office
in India,. first allowed the rebellion to spread,
break out, and then reported home that it
was not serious, and that a few European
troops, added to existing resources, would •restbre
tranquillity immediately. Such were not ;ha
viewsof foreign agents when the mu tiny commenced
and it must be confessed they took a correct esti-
mate of the cindition of our Indian Empire.
Hare is a remarkable passage in a late de,patil :
—" The high authorities in India do not en-
courage reports or opinions from men who

point out abuses, eo that the few really clear-
sighted military men who have prophesied evil,
have never been popular at head-quarters." Tit's
is not the moment, however, t• dwell on the pant,
and I only mention'theSe views to show the ma-
terial with which Sir CuFn Campbell has to work,
or rather lot us hope the lumber will be put aside.
For a long time to come it is only military
authority which can govern India, and in the
military element must supreme power be reposed.
It is gratifying to learn foreign agents do not for
one instant doubt our final succass. The superi-
ority 'of a small number of British troops over
clouds of sepoys, will, it is calculated, have a good
effect in fUture.
