When the present disturbances were put down—and be had no doubt they would be quelled at a much less cost and with much Jees difficolty than some persons ruppored—Parliamen’ must inquire into the causes of the state of things which recent events had proved to exist in tho Ind'an ay my. To suppose that this was a mere question of greased cartridges was absurd, Tao returns which he desired would be of great service in the prosecu- tion of theee investigations, and would show what was the amount of administrative force at the disposal of the In dian government. At present, he spoke upon imperfect Information, but it appeared to him that they wore expect ing the preent Governor Goneral to administer the affairs of India with the eame number of civil servants that were at the disporal of the Indian government in 1848, when our territory was much smaller in extent. To show their lord- ships tbat be baa not adopted that opinion without due authority, he should quo’e @ from the minute of Lord Deleusie, which had been laid upon the table of lordshipe’ House in the course of the lasi year. He learneg from tho 12k paragraph of that Minute that “in cight yoars four Indian kingdoms had passed under the sceptre of her Majesty, and that various chieftansbips and smaller districts had been brought under her sway.”” Among the smaller acquisitions the Governor General enumerated Khyrpore, Uagool, Sikkim, some No- paulere Sirdars, Mundote, the Nawab’ Nazim'of Bengal, and the Sates of Central Incia. Then there were besidat ee, the Panjab, Rangoon, Nagpore, . Hyderabad, and Oude—the population thus brought under the domi: ion of this country amounting to nearly 11,000,000 of souls, while the extent of territory thus acquired amount- e4 to 207,637 equare miles. It also appeared, from a re- turn which bad been laid apon the table of their lordships’ House, that the amount of revenue deri red from those re- cent additions to our territory in India was £4,330,000 per ‘annum, Notwibstanding that large increase, however, In the extent of cur territory, he could not ascertain that any corresponding addition had been made to our civil service fn India. The namber of the covenanted civil servants in that country bad been, he found, in 1846. 431, while in 1866 it was not more than 432. It'was quite c’ear, there fore, that we were imposing upon the Governor Gene | ral of India the task of rulng an empire of considerably enlarged proportions with precisely the same staff av had beep appointed in 1: te administer the affairs of a much smaller territory. How long, he woald ask, were we to continue that policy? Was India the only one of our possessions which was to be deprived of that elastic character by which the number of the public servants ‘was adapted to the requirements of the State? What was the resource which, under those cireumstances, was open to the Governor General when a demand for ap increase in the number of the civil servants arose?
