States that the requested bullion will be sent to Canning. Almost universal disapproval has greeted Canning's Resolution to the Magistrates enjoining forbearance towards offenders. Palmerston is surprised that after reproving Colvin, Canning should have fallen into a similar error. He also considers the Resolution ill-timed. Asks for an explanation. There are also objections to Halliday's appointment of a Mahomedan of doubtful character to be a Deputy Magistrate. In England people are in a frenzy against the natives; though it is obviously impossible to rule India without the natives, great care should be taken over selection. Is glad Wilson has been forbidden to treat. He has been criticised, and held responsible for the outbreak at Meerut. Campbell is now wildly popular, named as Governor General or Prime Minister. Those who know John Lawrence agree with Canning's estimate of him. Alarmist letters have been received from Patrick Grant, and probably another man will be made Provisional Governor General in his place. Sends a note about barrack accommodation [not enclosed]. Confidential postscript states Layard is about to visit Canning to glean gossip against him.
