Tut GOVE1UcKENT or INDIA.
The Marquis of CLAN-arc...Lam brought the question of the government of Ind;a before the House of Lords on Thursday. Ire inveighed against the "double government " ; the mode of keeping and rendering the accounts; the mode of taxation ; the administration of justice : and he concluded by moving a resolution, "That the system under which the government of her Majesty's Indian territories is administered is no longer suitable to the condition and prospects of that vast empire, or the development of its resources and the improvement and welfare of its inhabitants." The Duke of ARGYLL DMA the motion by showing that Lord Clanricarde had not only failed to make out a case for the tremendous charge he preferred, but had proposed no remedy for the evils of which he complained ; in fact, that he had brought forward an abstract resolution utterly destitute of any reasonable foundation.—Motion withdrawn.
