You will see that q movement is talked of ia London in
of transferring the political government Of India from
the East India House, in Ieadenha street to the admin
straon Of Crown minister, officially resident in Down
ing street This movement if carried out, must end the
Indian government of the Hon. East India Company,
which has governed misgoverned, in India for
two centuries and half the first charter having been
granted The close Of Queen Elizateths reign
The old court Of directors at the East India House have
filed their mission for money making, and will hereafter
have little to do than to wind up their affairs.
Their long government has been guided ty one single
idea and that to grind profit, regardless Of cone
ouences from the conquered of India They dis
PLAYED Unsuitable avariee hand, and the most
wasteful and extravagant expenditures on the other
Such system Of government could only terminate in
the utter desoaon Of the country the one hand and
in disastrous attempts at sangunary revolution ON the
ether The great fault of the East India Company in
the perpetnason the grinding and oppressive system
the which had been established under the ty-
rannc and brbarous rulers they had oyethrown This
sytm which denied the cultivators all right in fee OF an
inch Of the SOIL and yet claimed oneha Of the produce

Lord CORVALLIS while governor general of India.
Heartless and cruel mdlemen gathered the land taxes
ond through famine plenty the same payments had to
I've made To meet them cultivators were often stripped
OF every visible species of property and said often to
sell their children TO get means of living and of paying
Under such circumstances, the British govern
ment should have terminated the political well the
commercial monopoly of the East India Company in 1884,
and have Eaugurated more enlightened, economical,
and humane form of government
The most profitable culture in India is opium, chiefly
carried in the unsettled presidency of Bengal This
opium forms, great extent, the basis of exchange
with China for silks end teas in place of silver coin, and
very often drew the latter from the Celesti in consider
able quantities.
The London Athenaum of the I'd January instant has
a scathing notice of Lord Macaueys edition of his
History England from the accession of James the I'd
The chief ground of complaint the part of the review
Is that he has retained syllable OF bis charges
against VIM. Penn, the founder OF Pennsylvania; and
that after the able and conclusive refuton of his charges
by Mr.. Dixon, the biographer There seems to be a
vein Of peculiar bitterness and prejudice In his ordshp
mind against that great and good man. His iordship,
in referring to his charges against VIM Penn says that
If is incredible that good man would have been
concerned in so bad affair, only answer that this
affair the pardon broker Charge was very tar indeed
from being the worst in which he concerned For
these leave the text, and shall leave it, exactly
as it originally stood
The reviewer adds, these will much
prise Baron Macauleys readers His expression of his
firm belief, the reviewer refuses To accept historical
authority and proceeds to state that there only
opinions on the subject of this singular charge against
Penn On side that of Baron Macauley, and the
other side that Of the British public.
