GREAT BRITAIN.

The House of Lords sat for short time last night
monday, April 26 but no business OF any Importance
was brought under consideration.
In the House of Commons, Mr.. Mccartney asked
tie Secretary of War whether the entire charge for
pay allowances, subsistence, clothing, appointments,
sores and horses Of the increased force Of the British
troops now serving in India by reason OF the mutiDy
would be betrayed and provided for out of the Indian
revenues alone; and ii not, what proportion would be
charged upon the Imperial revenues also, whether any
portion Of the cost of transport bad heen borne by the
Naval or War Departments.
Gen. Peel said that every farthing of the expense
would be betrayed by the East India Company.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer then moved tina,
the House will upon Friday next resolve ITSELF INTO
Committee to consider the act Of the 10th and lth
yo;oris C. 95 to provide for the Government OF In
dia. Alter referring to the overwhelming majority
aehinst Mr. Baripgs motion That it is not expedent
at present to legsate upon the Government of In
"dia" he eaid that that majority had only given to
the noble lord then at the head of the Government per-
mission to bring in his bill, but by no mears pledged
the Houte TO any Of its details. When the present
Government came into power it thought it advisable
10 Law before the House scheme for the government
of ILdia which was in some respects like that OF the
nrscedrg Government, yet differed from it in many
material particulars.
Lord Palnerston said that the speech of the right

ard II was in Parliament the elective principle was
reeufe TO proper adm ipstl alton OF the Gov-
eminent in ILdia. The Council would not be the
Goverl ment of India, it would only be the adviser of
the Minister for to have control there would
be an erd 10 ministerial responsibility. Under these
circumstances, would be absurd to have appointed
