Saltpetre was in India an article of export; the American Merchants sought much for at tle`ticoe,3tid he doubted whether the Indian Govern ment could 'legally prohibit that export. Yet it flurried to do so; and hence Mr. CVilkinsbri was jired 'as a trader in the article. But whether the hp: di= Government were legally authorised so triactft ite 'public good or not, he held that Mr. Willciinrinl r<asentitled to an indemnity for the loss which he an. p private trader sustained through that act. Mr. & Dixos argued against the principle of coni pensating a speculative merchant for the lossof pros --rive or probable galli._especially thrills the act _.. .. y r,~l, :. mittee, lie had not with the three others even the ac quaintance of common colloquial conversation. The worthy Gentleman concluded with observing, that `this was the sixth Court in which he bad endeavoured 4* vindicate his claim to compensation for the losses ' which he had sustained. His application, he begged it io be understood, was to the justice of the Court, And that if they would not, grant him justice,, ha re nounced their compassion, to which he made no appeal. Mr. It. JACKSON declared, that be felt no difficulty on this occasion, but on the admeasurement of the compensation to which Mr. Vitdkingin was entitled. That Gentleman's claim be mg, in his view, just, h 4 could not attend to the objections made against the expediency of granting a fidr indemnity. In g'tant 4 ing such indemnity, in4eed, the Court would only act upon the principle panctiqped !n , the usage of Parlia ment, where pnvate indiyidnals were uniformly in. damnified for any injury they sustained through ar rangements calculated for the public g00d... Lord Hastings had strongly recomrrended the clim of Mr. Wilkinson, and this formed a volume of evi dence in his carotin But in fact it was sought to grant Mr. Wilkinson only a fractional part of the profits whkh he must have derived from his salt petre contracts, judging from the actual price of that article in the markets of Calcutta for the two years within which the monopoly of the Indian Govern!. meat was rigidly enforce& Therefore no compen sation for hypothetical or imaginary gains was looked for, as an Honourable Director had stated.— Then as to any danger appended from the esta- blishment of a precedent through the grant of com pensation to - Mr.Wilkinson, he asked, did the India . Company mean to consider what it 'would cost them for being honest—(hear, hear)? With regard to the proposition of the Court of Directors, he , was assured that 75,000 rupees would do little more than pay Mr. Wilkinson the expenses which he had incurred in seeking for justice, including the expense of his 'w age to Europe and return to his settleshent in He Jackson) • ,Another list for the intended in the City, and Stocks continue to droop; Con sols, which at the corn mencerbent of the April Ac count were as high as 78, this morning opened 'foe the May Account at 72 ; and at ten o'clock were 71g.

CHAMBER OF PEERS, APRIL 17. The Order of the day called for the discussion in geneial assembly of 'the Project of Law on Tobacco. In place of Opening it immediately, however, the Chamber decided on naming a Special Commission of five Members to take it into consideration and re port. A second Commission of five Members was also named to make a Report to the Chamber on a proposition for obtaining an exception from the Law of Finances, which prohibits the accumulation of se veral military pensions, in favour of a certain num ber of the old Chevaliers of St. Louis. A claim for admision was produced from Baron BASTAED CrES TANG, one of the late creation of Peers, which was sustained, and his admission deferred till next sitting. CHAMBER OP DEPUTIES, APRIL 17.
