THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
The House of Lords sat for short time the

brought under consideration.

the Secretary of War whether the entire charge
for pay, allowances clothing, appointments, stores
and horses of the increased force of British troops
now serving in India by reason of the mutny would
be betrayed and provided for out of the Indian rev.
enues alone, and if not, what proportion would be
charged on Imperial revenue; also whether any por
ton of the cost of transport had been borne by the
Naval or War Departments.
General Peel said that every farthing of the ex-
pense would be betrayed by the East India Com,
pany.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer then moved
itself into committee to consider the act of the
10th and 18th Victoria, c. So, to provide for the
government of India. After referring to the over
whelming maj orities against Mr.. Barng's motion
"That it is not expedient at present to legslate
upon the government of India" he said that that
majority had only given to the noble lord then at
the head of the government permission to bring
in his bill, but by no means pledged the House to
any of its details When the present government
came into power it thought it advisable to Law be-
fore the House scheme for the government of
india which was in some respects like that of the
preceding government, yet different from it in
many material particulars.
Lord Palmerston said the speech of the rirbt
honorable gentlemen might have been very appro
pirate il he were moving the second reading of his
own bill; instead of which, however, he was giving
IT as a funeral Grafton over the very measure-India
bill No. (Which he had himself mul dered. The
fact was, the Indian Minister was responsible TO
Parliament, and it was in Parliament the elective
prlnclPle was requisite to secure proper admins
tration OF the government in India. The council
would not be the government of India il would
only be the adviser of the Minister for were il to
have control there would be an end to ministerial
responsibility. Under these circumstances it would
be absurd to have it appointed by the elective pin-
ciplc
Mr.. Gladstone said he was of opinion that if was
rash to lcgislate at all while war still ragged in In
dia; but as Parliament had decided differently he
had bowed to that decision, but protested against
the resolution which had been placed in the Speak
cl nc ulu NOT approve OF either OF the
bills which had been presented to the House. for
neither of them provided council with such varied
information with respect to India as was to be
found in the present Court of Directors. The first
thing requisite was to provide for the protection of
the people OF India from the ignorance the indis-
erection, and the errors of the government at home.
and in the rext place that wars such as that in
Persia, should be entered upon in that country
without the knowledge of Parliament
Lord Goderich said he would reserve to himself

not by resolution.
Mr. Horsmanssuggested that on Friday they should
only come to the resolution that the government of

There are certain persons who in order to main
tain nneasiness in the public mind daily invent
false news. Thus the Partisan correspondence of

the increased navy budget of 1889 was pre1ared
during period of profound peace, and that in the
year 1888 we were on the eve of war, which was
not concluded until the year 1856. We have not
learned that France has acquired any colonies
since 1888 which require increased naval force
Tor their protection. The report is said to hav,
