we extracted from this people seventeen millions
yearly. lie then proposed four clauses to the above
effect, which, it was understood, were to be printed
with the Bill, and discussed hereafter. The apprizes
priation clause was then agreed to, with some follow-
ing dalise.
After much desialtory conversation,
Mr. FAWCETT proposed, and afterwards with-
drew, an Amendment to separate the commercial
'and political accounts of the Company.
The Committee then proceeded to other Clauses in
the Bill. When they arrived at that which nortii-
hates the Archdeacons,
Mr. I<OI3ERT SMITH proposed, that the four
Archdeacons should not be altogether overlooked,
ana suggested that 8500 be granted to each for their
outfit. -The amendment was agreed to.
On reading the clause relating to the military esta-
biishment to be maintained by the Company, Mr.
ROBERT I'HORNION moved, that the amount
of that establishment should be diminished, but the
alteration was negatived.
Mr. ROBINSON obervcd upoli the impropriety
'f the Company possessing the power of re-instating
Military officers, who had been sentenced by Courts
Martiel. He moved an amendment to remedy this
detect, but it was negatived without any reply biting
attempted:
A conversatieo of consideraLle length took place
on the cl ruse relative to the Army Establishment in
India. Mr. ROBINSON, Mr. TIEV.N EY, and Mr. GRANT,
contended that the Company ought not to be charged
with the Number of regiments, but with the number
of effective men. Lord CASTLEREAGH and Lord
PALMERSTON defended the clause, and said, that the
India Compary had the preference t.f the strongest
regiments. The clause, aftet some further contersa-
tinn, passed in the affirmative.. and was ordered to
be adopted.
The clause respecting Grants and Aanuities from
the Company also occasioned same discessitin. Mr.
TIERNEY argued-that the Board of Controul was not
the proper check on the India Company. He de! not
speak of the present Board (they were in all respect
proper persons to exercise this discretion), but it
might hereafter be composed cif persons as liatslis to
'se duped as himself. The Right Hon. Gent'eman
elude a few other remarks.
A r.lause was added to it, at the motion of Mr.
Aseeee, ordering that -a copy of all pensions, gretni-
ties &c. from the India Company, be !aid before Par-
Itienent within one mouth from their date.
The clause impoweting the Governor of Fort WO •
Liam to collect the dirge:, lc. was then read and
agreed to. An Amendment was then seggested by
Mr. R. smuni, which was agreed te.
On the clause respectiug the Chu. ch Establishment,
' Mr. HORNER objscod to the train of subordi-
nation proposed to be introduced. ceoid net lin.
. derstand why a Bishop should be appointed for the
discharge of the Episcopal functions, but he could see
;to occasion for three Archdeacons.
Mr. ROBERII'HORTON said, one Archdeacon
*as to reside in each Presidency, and the Bishop at
Calcutta.
Mr. WILLIAM DUNDAS proposed a clause fir
the appointment of three Scotch Clergymen in India,
one in each Presidency, with a moderate salary.
Lord CASTLEREAGH opposed it.
Mr. NIZILLIAM SMITH strenuously supported
the measure.
Mr. HORNER could see no reason why the other
branch of the Established Religion of the kingdom,
should not have Clergymen in India. The emigrants
from North Britain in India were as two to one to the
natives from other parts of • the Empire, and were
these two-thirds to be lett entirely without religion ?
The Church of Scotland was in every respect upon
an equal footing with the Church of England. Was
India a part of England only ? It belonged to the
-Crown of Great Britain and Ireland, and not to Eng-
land alone.
Mr. 'WILLIAM DUNDAS said zit they asked
was an opportunity fir the natives of North Britain
of practising their religion in India.
Mr. FORBES thought they might well strike off
the Archdeacon bf Calcutta, for the sake of the
three Scottish Clergymen.
Mr. CHARLES GRANT, sen. ssii-1, to refuse
this would be a sort of insult effered by the Noble
Lord to the natives of Sectlend,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
opposed it, on the ground of the necessity, if such a
sneasure was carried, of going a great deal farther
with it.
Mr. FINLAY shorly supported the Clause.
A division then wok place, when there appeared,
Volt the Clause, 18—Against It, 20—Majo, y again.a it, 2.
The different clauses having been gone through,
the Chairman obtained leave to report the Bill with
the Amendments to the House. The report was
then brought up, and ordered to be taken idto fur-
ther considt ration on Monday nexts and the Bill with
the Ameadments to be printed.
Mr. LOCTAART gave nottce, that he would
to-morrow move for leave to bring in a Bill to put
down Mock Auctions.
The House then proceeded to the other orders of
the dry, atter which they adjourned at Half past
One o'Clock to this day.
