      Rphe Fate Of The India Bill Is Decided, ...

      rpHE fate of the India Bill is decided , so far as X the House of Commons is concerned , in the way that everybody must have anticipated : it was read a third time and passed on Thursday night , Mr . Disraeli , on , the part of Government , tendered his thanks to the House for the candour with which it has "treated this extraordinary measure / and Lord John Russell gave a final woi'd of commendation to it ; nay , even Lord Paimerston , while still maintaining his objection to the constitution of the Council , cordially gave bis assent to its passing : 'after the storm , calm , and promises of fair weather . So the Bill goes up to the Lords for approval , and there are very few who doubt that it will be accepted by that august body , and become law before the session is over . Mr . Roebuck raised a loud raven-cry of dark foreboding ; but Lord John Russell , while expressing his belief that the measure was far from h ' nal , was of better clieer as to its present usefulness . Experience , lie said , will no doubt discover that the scheme will require revision , and that such great questions as the tenure of land , the army , the opium and salt tax , and other matters , will hereafter require profound attention . But the feeling of the House is clearly that , out of very discordant elements , and under ciicumstances of great difficulty , a constitution has been furnished to India which will operate beneficially for the peoples of that great dependency , while securing it to us by firmer ties than any by which we have hitherto held it . The East India Company has , of course , fought for a oontinued existence j but its death will release it from many cares inevitable to its advanced age of nearly two centuries and a half . It has long , indeed , been incapable of independently managing its own affairs , and its interference , in consequence , productive of the gravest inconvenience . It dies in time to save for itself the honourable remembrance of its youthful acts ; and it dies so far in comfort as to be assured that its dependents will be well provided for by the administrators of its estates . Peace to the departed : the future is everything to India . In the further stages of the Jews Bill nothing has occurred to raise doubt as to the Ihuil settlement of the question of admitting Jews into Purliament , but Lord Lynduitust lias pointed out that the oncrivtion of Lord Luoan's bill is dependent upon tlio acceptance by the House of Commons ol

      the Oaths Bill as amended by the Upper House . "If that bill , " he said , " does not become law , the -effect of the second bill will-be e ' atirely destroyed . " He is tolerably assured , however , that the two bills will be accepted by the House of Commons , and this is the expectation of Lord Derby . Opposition , in fact , is no longer thought of , and the Duke of Mablboboitgii ' s last anxiety , that Jews should never have the power of advising the Queen in Church affairs , is set at rest by the introduction of a clause securing the Church from such dangerous interference . How impossible it is to touch upon Irish affairs without awakening ill-feeling in Irish breasts has been once more shown . Lord Naas has a bill before the House the object of which . ' is to improve , as he conceives , the efficiency of the Irish police force , by amalgamating the Dublin metropolitan police with the constabulary . He thinks that the adoption of his plan would , moreover , be advantageous in other ways , as in the reduction of local burdens . But the question is widened out right and left by the Irish members , who will see in it nothing but a brutal attempt to press upon Roman Catholics . However , the bill was read a second time , and the debate adjourned , the opponents of the measure—which , as Mr . Whiteside made it appear , is a very sensible one—being reduced to that last resource of a failing opposition , an appeal against " proceeding with the bill at this advanced period of the session . ' Sir Edwakd Bulwjer Lytton has inaugurated his rule at the Colonial-office by the introduction into Parliament of a bilL to establish an organized government in New Caledonia , a wild and almost desert land , lying between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific , which has suddenly become a place of world-wide interest from the discoveries of gold which have been lately made . The country has hitherto been claimed as belonging to the possessions of the Hudson ' s Bay Company , but the Company ' s title is something ; more than dis-. putablc , and Lord Deukv ' s Government , which has . been solicited by persons representing large interests in that country to take it under the direct protection ¦ of the Crown , has made the first decisive step towards that end . A largo emigmlion of persons in ¦ quest of gold lias scl , in , and tliero is very raison-¦ able cause for apprehension tlmtn . bloody strife nmy ¦ ensue between these persons uad the native Ju-. dians ( by whom their prcseuco is jealously rc-. garded ) , unless the restraints and protection of a [ legitiinato government arc provided .

      The Conferences at Paris—which are occasionally held elsewhere , as for example , at a country seat of Count Walewskl ' s , at Etoiles—are making progress with the eternal Danubian Principalities question , we are told . It is said that the Union idea has been entirely given up , but that it has been determined that Moldavia and 'Wallachia shall have a common Senate , and a common High Court of Appeal ; and , in fact , the two Governments are to be as nearly assimilated as they can be . Turkey , while holding-firmly to her claim to be protected in the possession of her dominions in their perfect integrity , has , it is said , undertaken that the Governments of the Moldo-Wallachian countries shall be purified from all the abuses of the old system . But the proceedings of the conferences are not yet really known , and conjecture is not a guide safe enough to trust far into the subterrain of diplomacy . We stand upon surer ground while observing the proceedings of the Imperial Government . The appointment of Prince ! Napoleon to the government of Algeria has caused a ll sorts of difficulties in the redistribution of offices , and the Emperor appears to have enough to do to make matters up pleasantly . Perhaps , at the present moment , the most interesting , and i t may be important , matter of foreign news is that Hek Majesty has aceejited the Emperor ' s invitation to Cherbourg . The meeting is expected to take place on the 5 th of next month . The other continental news is of small interest , with the exception of that from Denmark . We learn by a telegraph from Copenhagen that the Ministry—an extremely popular one—is in a state of crisis , in consequence of its policy towards the Duchies . This question of the Duchies , one of chronic danger to Europe , promises to be as difficult of solution as the Moldo-Wallachian question . At present the King of Denmauk seems inclined to yield to the pressure of the Germanic Confederation , an influence " against which , it is said , the Emperor of the Fiiench is determined to make n strong stand . An event at home , connected with foreign politics , is of much greater and more immediate interest : this is tho dinner of the new American Association , which took place at the London " Tavern on Monday evening , in cclcbralitHr '< ff * "T 3 TB . eightysecond anniversary of the ducjtii'iHipu'i , of Aanerican independence , The inlimat £ . jMiiorf < jf ^ teJtygf couutrics , both as regards , fec ^ g ^ and ; 'oaa ^ eri ^ l interest , was strongly illu « tr $ cd- % ^ ioV « n ) v o * Tdiulity of all the spccchcs . ^ M ^^ Jia ;*^^^ great point in uniiouiiciiigr ^ ui (' tu ^ - ^ esP ^ S 4 $ ; -
