Carourza, July 7.—At a meetiog of the Legislative Couucil held at Slwls on the 20th nove an amendment to the resolution, express- of June, permission was granted to introdace a Ml for the rellet of indebted agriculturtsts tn certaln districts In the Preaigency of Bombay. This 1s & tentative and partial scheme towards eolving m most- momentous ocunomic problem in India. The sgricultaral classes sre o & great extent in the hands of money-landers, whose mercilesa exactions and tyrannunashuses are fostered and prolected by the rigid and costly nature of the forms of procedure in English law courts. These classes are ground down to the very dust under tha welght of debt, thoir condition belng one of perpetual poserty, which, morcover, has of late been vastly aggravatad by conserutiva years of bad harvests. Bpeaking gonerally, the people of Indla are altwost entirely dependent on the prod- ucts of thelr soll, the conditivn of the coun- try rislog and falling with that of the agricul- tural classea, It s unrensonrble to expect sat- fsfaction or contentment with British rule as long a8 tha senso of Irrerdesinable dedt burdens the people, At the sama time, aithongh thisevil Is of rtupendons magnitude, &nd urirently crivs for rewmedy, it requires wies and delicate treatment. 80 24 nut 1o tertninate too abriptly the long-subsisting detendence of agricultur Ists opon money-lenderd fur assistanie ou all oceasions of neetl.

PrmapeLriw, Lo, July 22.—The most fme portant potut developed at the mecting of the creditors of Jay Couks & Co, to-day was, that the Northern Paclic was likely to turn out well cnough so that they could hops for a dividend of somethlag ke 40 per ceot in Wil The falure Lappened in Beptembor, 1878, and tho first dividend was In Decemnber, 1574, when the Commitice of Creaitors ordered that & per cent bs pald in cash and securities. Slnce then the Committeo has kept very quict, and the Trustee has been dolnz everrthing possible to get things duwn to & cosh basis, There has been a great deal of complaint at the delay uf four years o mak- ing a sottlement, but Mr. Lowls, who s Presi- dent of the Farmers' & Mechanics’ Natlonal Bank, and is regarded as one of the stirowdest fluanciers fo tho clty, thinks ft will tako AL least ten years to realize on tho estato property unleas the creditors take It fnto thelr own hands, as bo proposes, His plan is that the whole asscte, learing out two or threa such as Ogontz, Lako Chatnplain, should be care- fully valued bv experts, the Westarn lands by Western experts, Ly men famlliar with them, the stocks, bonds, and ‘other sccuritics in the samo way, by oxperts. They should be catalogued, the oggrezate ascertained, and then a serip dividend of that amount lssued to the creditors. Ench one would get a certain percentage in scrip and securitfes, these to b sold at publle nuctlon for cash or for theso se- curities, nothing to be sold below tho catalogzue price,—l. e, a croditor with 810,000 of scrip could go fn and buy bonds, or stock, or something clse, and thus man- age it hhneell, One of the advantages of such n plan would be to give a cash value to the scrin. Whatover was not sold at the cxplration of, saay, thirty days _could be st up at auction, and, after that, onf cred- itor to be allowed to comu In and take them at the fnvoiced price, This {a tho only way in which it can be done. It would take o Iifetimo to sell thess Western londs st private salo, and it would take many years for the raflroad eecurities to come toa falr prico. Claims against tho firm for which creaitors hold securlties have all been. scttled.
