Leader Office, "Friday Everting, Februar...
Leader Office , "Friday Everting , February 11 th . HOUSE OF LORDS . Thekk was no business of public interest transacted during the sitting this evening , which lasted only for a very short time . HOUSE OF COMMONS . Mb . Sam & elson took the oaths and his seat for Banbury . .
INDIAN LOAN . Lord Stanley gave notice that on Monday next he should move to bring in a bill to raise money in England for the service of the Government in India . In reply to a question whether it was proposed to carry out the post-office regulation for the post-office authorities to open all unpaid letters , Sir J . STorthcote said that this " would be carried out , as it was for the public convenience such a regulation should exist . One reason for this proceeding was the number of Valentines on the 14 th of February . The number was about 800 , 000 , and some-syere not of the pleasantest character . ( Laughter . )
n . NEW GOVERNMENT OFFICES . In answer to Mr . Tite , Lord J . Manners said it was intended to build an Indian-office uniform with the new Foreign-office , oil the vacant site in Downing-street ; but that the expense of the former would be borne , by the revenue of India , subject to the sanction of Parliament . —After some remarks from Sir B . Hall , Mr . Hope , Mr . Condtgham , principally in reference to the particular style of architecture for the new offices , General Thompson thought it would be best to stop expenditure in this direction until they had ascertained the amount of expense they would have to bear from India as well as from a probable European war . — -Viscount Palme rston deprecated the Gothic , whether English , Lornbardp , or Italian style of architecture . —Mr . Bentojck concurred in the views expressed by General Thompson . —The subject then dropped .
TH « INDIAN MUTINY . -,... ' Mr . V ,, Smith asked whether it was intended to bestow any reward or-mark of honour upon those native princes or their ministers who had proved faithful to us during the Indian mutiny . He said he considered that we ought to- reward those natives who had been thus faithful , 05 who had in any way assisted us in our Indian troubles , just the same as we rewarded bur own soldiers and officers . He was quite satisfied that public opinion would back up the Ministers in any step they might choose to take for the purpose of rewarding or marking their sense of the services of native princes or persons in power in India .
Lord Stanley admitted that no subject could be of greater importance than the one brought under the notice of the Indian Government . The subject of rewards to our native allies had already attracted the attention , of Government , but the subject was of so much importance that no general rule had yet been laid down . Government , however , had already addressed two despatches to the Governor-General of India on the subject , recommending rewards and distinctions to he conferred on worthy native allies , and some rewards had already been conferred . He was as fully impressed , and so were the Government of India , as the right hon . gentleman himself , of the value of the services of these native allies , and the expediency of giving them fitting rewards .
LANDED PROPERTY TITLES . The Sq & iqitor-General asked for leave to bring in a bill to simplify and cheapen the process of transferring landed property , and of ascertaining whether the title was good or not . AjFjtor some discussion leave was given . The other orders of the dny were disposed of , and the House adjourned .
* India. Letters And Papers Of The Calcu...
* INDIA . Letters and papers of the Calcutta mail of January 9 th have arrived $ the intelligence is generally scanty . The Punjab is erootod into a Presidency ; it is enacted that tho Punjab , the tracts commonly called the "Trans-Sutloj States , " tho Ois-Sutloj States , " and the «• Delhi Territory , " shall form tho jurisdiction of tho Lioutenant-Governor of the Punjab . The now Presidency contains a population , including both subjects and dependents , of nearly 22 , 000 , 000 , and will shortly be garrisoned by an army of 17 , 000 Europeans and 43 , 000 Sikhs . A Calcutta letter eavs : — "No measure can increase tho
influonoo of Sir John Lawrence , who is , on groat questions ,, an Independent ruler . But the now status will add greatly to the dignity , and therefore to tho independency of his suooessor , who has boon at length definitively selected * In tho person of Mr . Montgomery , the Chief Co inralssloner of Oudo , " The Governor-General Is coming down to Calcutta , and the 15 th Jan , is named aatho date of Ms lordship ' s * departure from Allahabad . Another order decrees the disarming of the whole 0 ' Upper India .
China. The Following Has Been Received U...
CHINA . The following has been received under date-Hong Kong , Dec . 30 . — .. "We have no political intelligence of any interest . Of the Yang- tse expedition nothing has been heard which can be relied , on , but the Chinese in Canton state that the fleet had reached Hankow , and created great alarm among the inhabitants , who were doubtful as to the object of the visit . His Excellency Baron Gros is here & t present . , " From Cochin China there is no news . " Canton remains quiet , and our European troops are very healthy . " Sir John Bowring left Manilla on the 20 th ult . in H . M . S . Magiciehne , bound to Borneo , thence to the Southern Philippines , and back to Manilla , where , from about the middle of next month , his Excellency , it is said , will remain until his health is fully restored , or the expected recal reaches him .
France. The Moniteur Of This Morning Pub...
FRANCE . The Moniteur of this morning publishes the monthly return of the Bank of France , which shows the following results , as compared with the previous return :- ?—Increased- —Bills discounted , not yet due ^ 23 , 500 , 000 fr . Decreased—Cash in : hand , 1 , 000 , 000 fr . ; notes in circulation , 29 , 000 , 000 fr . ; advances , 16 , 500 , 000 fr . ; treasury balance , 6 , 000 , 000 fr . The Times correspondent says : — "From the manner in which M . de Morny ' s speech in the Legislative Body was received by all the Deputies , without exception , the unanimous and enthusiastic applause , and cries for peace , and the feeling of the country so unmistakably manifested , there can , 1 believe , be no longer a doubt in the mind of any one of the dislike which the very thought of war inspires . " "The fact that the Emperor did not show at the Tuileries ball on Tuesday , " says the correspondent of the Express ) "has given rise to a rumour that he was furious at the Count de Morny ' s speech , which he considered as in opposition to the spirit of his own ; It is asserted that the Empress went to his room to beg him to make , his appearance , but that all her pleading was in vain .
