INDIAN GOVERNMENT. Mr. T. BARING presented a petition from the East India Company, deprecating all change in the organi. sation of the Indian Government " during the continuance of the present unhappy disturbances, and without a full previous inquiry into the operation of the present system." The hon. member announced that, when the India Reform Bill was brought forward, he should propose an amendment enunciating the opinion that it was inexpedient to legislate on the subject under present circumstances.  JEWISII  After an appeal from Lord PALMERSTON, and in spite of some remonstrances from Mr. NEWDEGATE, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE consented to postpone his motion relative to the non•admission of Baron Rothschild to his seat in the house. .  The adjourned debate on the Conspiracy to Murder Bill was resumed by Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, who corrected some popular errors regarding the incidents attending the attempt male many years ago by Louis Napoleon at Boulogne :  An hon. gentleman, a member of the Society of Friends, and be supposed also a memter of the Peace Society, had last night made a very inflammatory speech, in the course of which he said that Louis Napoleon, when he landed at Boulogne, shot a man with his own hand—LMr. Gilpin here made a remark]. Well, assassinated a man himself, if the hon. gentleman prefers that phrase. Now there was not a word of truth in that statement. What really °cm:wed —and knowing the facts, he felt it to be his duty to state them in order to disabuse the press and the public mind on the subject—was this :—The party that landed at Boulogne were armed with pocket pistols, and in laniing a pistol of one of the followers of Louis Napoleon went otl —he had only one pistol himself, which was not fired—and the ball went through the cheek of a man who was shouting " Vive L'Empereur," and who soon recovered from his wound. The only persons killed were two followers of Louis Napoleon ; one of them, M. Forgue, was shot in the back of the head by a National Guard, and the other, Count Dunain, who was severely wounded by a gendarme, crept into a wood shed, and was afterwards thrown into the sea, where he was found with three balls in his body. These were the only deaths which occurred when Louis Napoleon landed at Boulogne, and therefore the hon. member for Northamptonshire proved too much when he spoke of him as a man who was denouncing assassins when he was an assassin himself.  Mr. WARREN rose to oppose the motion. He believed, he said, that the measure was not called for ; that it would prove ineffectual, that it would be derogatory to the national spirit., and a libel upon the law of England. Nor was this the time when the house ought to be called upon to alter that law, after what he regarded as a menace.  Sir G. GREY replied to the objections offered to the motion. These, he observed, were of two classes— one directed against the enactments of the bill itself, the other against the time at which the proposition was made. As to the bill itself, irrespective of any communication with the French Government, upon looking into the state of our law upon this subject, the attention of her Majesty's Government was called by the transaction at Paris to what appeared to be
