PARLIAMENT
The House of Lords sat for a short time ON N. o,
ut, but no business of any Importance brought ma
consideration.
In the House OF Commons Mr. Macartney ash. u
Secretary for War whether the entire charge for NAV
lowances, clothing, appointments, stores, and hon.s
the increased force of British troops, serving n
dia by reason of the nutiny would be derayed ana :,
yidcd for out of the Indian revenues alone and M"
what proportion would be charged ON imperial reyenn
also whether any portion of the cost of transport

General Peele said that every iarthng OF the e,D
would be betrayed by the East India Company
The Chancellor of the Exchequer then moved thai a.
House will upon Friday next, resolve itself into ~
mittee 10 consider the act Of the 10th and 18th Vio
c. 95 to provide for the government of India Ansr
ferring to the overwhelming majorties against Mr. r.

gislate upon the government OF India, he said b,
that majority had only given to the noble lord then =
the head OF the government permission to bring in NJ
bill, but by pledged the House to any Of Ia
tails When the present government came into power
thought it advisable to lay before the House sols
for the government of India, which In some resr
like that of the preceding government yet different I
It'll many material particulars The right honoub
gentleman proceeded To contrast the uain features of M
though very plain and simple, yet despotc ana
dangerous; while the bill OF the present goverDmrt
which had been stgmatised complicated was on,
complicated so far it partially introduced into n
government Of India the elective principle of the d
constitution. In every other respect 1t contained e
ments for council quite as able and well informed !,
any council which might be selected the NOMINEES d
the government under the bill Of Lord Palmeston H.
defended the various provisions of the bill which he had
himself proposed to the House. and said ii his resoum

the House would beware Of allowing party feeling
creep into the consideration of any measure for the r
ernlnent of that country.
Lord Pamerston said the speech OF the right honorable
gentleman might have been very appropriate II he Nee
moving the second reading Of his own BILL instead a
which, however he giving 1t IA funeral oshs

himself murdered. The fact WAS, the Indian Minister w,
responsible to Parliament, and 1t in Parliament t
elective principle requisite to secure proper admin

not be the cf India it would only be the al
wiser Of the Minister for 1t to have control thea
would be end 10 ministerial responsibility Uuh,
these circumstances it would be absurd to have Il az
pointed by the elective principle. Mr. Gladstone said nal
of opinion that it rash to legisatc at all while
still ragged in India; but Parliament had decided
differently, he he'd bowed to that decision but wo
tested against the resolution which had been placed in M
Speakers hand. He did not approve of either OF th
bills which had been presented to the House. Tor nciq
of them provided council with such varied nfornsa
with respect to India to be found in tho present
Court of Directors The first thing requisite was Pho
vide for the protection of the people of India from the
ignorance the indscretion and the errors of the goye
ment at home and in the next place that no wars such
AZ that in Persia should be entered upon that country
without the knowledge Of Parliament
