THE INDIA BILL

The house then;ventillocoluMT,tiee on the Govern-
ment of India Bill.

Mr. V. SMITH condemned the evils of the nominee
system, and moved an amendment, the effect of which
was, to substitute the election by the Court of Directors,
subject to the sanction of HER MAJESTY, instead of no-
mination by the Crown, of persons who shall have served
ten years in India,
Sir C. Wow) admitted that much might be said on
both Sides, tat goverameat, after a caTe.fl4 examknatioa,

believed they had adopted the plan which would be found
the most useful under these circumstances. He could
not consent to the amendment.
Mr. HtttittLe supported the amendment, which he
preferred to his own on the same subject.
Mr. LOWE vindicated the original proposition, and con-
tended that the introduction of the new element into the
Court of Directors would strengthen their weight and in-
fluence with the country.
Mr. ELLIOTT supported the amendment.
Lord STANLEY objected to the amendment, because it
gave permanence, if not perpetuity, to self-election. Ile
objected, also, to the nomination by the crown, but
conceived this objection might be obviated by lengthening
the term of office, and making the parties ineligible after
its expiration.
Mr. HUNIE objected to the principle of nomination,
and should on that ground support the amendment.
Sir J. HOGG reviewed the objection to both systems":
nomination by the Crown, and election by the our'
itself, and incidentally said he could not consent to the
payment of Lord Stanley, on account of its disqualifying
operation. He objected to everything which tended to
lower the directors in the eyes of the country, or to change
their constitution.
Mr. BRUCE condemned the clause and defended the
directors. He preferred the existing system of open
election both to the government proposition and that of
the amendment.

Mr. J. replied to Sir J. W. Hogg'6
marks, and would vote for the clause as it stood. sla

Mr. MAJORIBANKS defended the existing system. I"
supported the amendment.
Mr. T. BARING urged several objections to the clause,
on the ground that the tenure of office by the Ermine°
would be at the mercy of the Crown.
Sir J. GRAHAM defended the clause as it stood, on the d
ground that the introduction of the nominee system vr°'`„,
be a good preparation for the time when the whole geTer"
ment of India would come into the hands of the Crown',
Mr. BRIGHT condemned the existing system ; if it
•
changed in eighteen hundred and seventy-four, it might
well be changed at once.
Mr. NEWDEGATE remarked that Sir J. Graham bad lei
out the real intentions of the government.
Mr. MANGLES supported the amendment.
•
Mr. HILDTARD at some length supported the amend
ment.
The committee divided, when there appeared for the
amendment, 111; against, 193 ;—majority against, 82.
Mr. HUME pointed out some discrepancies between the
various opinions expressed by members of the administre'
tion on the subject of double government.
Sir J. GRAHAM being one of the executors, was favour.
able to double government.
Sir H. 'WILLOUGHBY moved the following amendment
to the clause—" That on or before the first Wednesdeeld
in April, 1854, the fifteen directors hereby appoint 11
to meet and act at the Court of Directors, en°
prepare a list of twelve persons whom they shall deem
best qualified to act as directors, and who shalt have bees
twenty years at least in the service of the Crown in Intl
or in the service of the said company in India, and it 9118.1
be lawful for Her- Majesty's Government out of the eel
list of twelve persons, &c."
Sir C. WOOD opposed the amendment.
After a few words from Mr. HUME, Sir
LOUGHBY said he was quite willing to make any chae,g,
in the amendment, so as to carry out its idea of gic,lir
the Court of Directors the power of preparing gr
from which the Crown should select its nominees.
,i,
After a few words from Mr. T. BARING, the amen"
ment was negatived without a division.
Mr. Rim{ moved an amendment, with a view of rashini
the appointment of Government nominees director'
certain for a term of years, so that they should be in"
dependent of the Treasury Bench.
Mr. BRIGHT took a similar view. He had noticed
il
late that the East India Compay Diirectors, which b 4,0
seats in the lower house, had become more attentive

the Treasury Bench than usual.
Sir J. W. HOGG supposed he was the one referred to.
He could teal Mr. Bright that he had refused to e"
high office under Sir Robert Peel because he would IO
forsake the interests of India.—After some further discus
sion the amendment was negatived without a divisloo.„
On the motion of Mr. BRIGHT, it was agreed that 0"
words in the clause which required that the nominee
directors of the Crown should have the same stock qualms
fications as the other directorsovere then struck out.
The clause was then agreed to, as also clause 4.
progrets was then reported, and leave given to 03

again On Thursday.
The Stamp Duties (No 1.) Bill was read a third Wag
and passed.
The Public Libraries (Ireland) Bill was read a third
time and passed.
The Land Revenue Bill was a third, time and passe`.„,

pended until the 29th instant.—The Attorney-Gene of
obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the suppression
