IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. j THE GOVERNMENT OF MADRAS. In the HOUSE OF LORDS, NOV. 10, Lord Napier and tlttrick presented a petition from European, Hindoo, and Mussulman subjects of her Majesty in the Presi- dency of Madras against the annual transfer of the Government of that Presidency to the hills duri-ig a long period of the year. He observed that formerly the Government of Madras was carried on ai, the hills for only three months in the year, but the period had been extended to six, seven, and, as he learned from one source, to nearly eight months. This temporary transfer of the seat of Government for so long a period of the year was a cause of considerable expenditure, and was very repugnant to the feelings of the native officials Lord Kimberley replied that Lord Lawrence was the author of the system of migration to the hills. Expe- rience had now shown that the system was a good one in the case of the Presidency Governments, as well as in that of the Supreme Government. It was true that the duration of the sojourn of the Madras Government at Ootacamnnd had been extended, but the whole time of absence from Madras was not spent in the hills. A portion of it was devoted to an inspection of the popu- lations. There was no reason to apprehend that the practice of migration would be abused. The Duke of Buckingham, the Duke of Argyll, and Lord Salisbury concurred with the observations of Lord Kimberley. The petition was withdrawn in consequence of an informality in the way in which it was drawn. Their Lordships rose at a quarter past six o'clock.
