"II 3 - EAST INDIA HOU§E. . A Special General ; Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was yesterday held, parsuint to inquisi tion, for the purpose of inquiring_whetber, 'in the pne•' ,sent state of the Honourable Company's empire in ilia 'East, the condition of the naval force called the Boob. bay Marine was such as the welfare of the country 'and ' the interests of the Honourable Company demand: "- fiefore the Court proteected to the btaii e;slur which it was convened, Colonel L Srwtruors to se, and complained ,of a misrepresentation of a former speech of his,•which miss representation had appeared in some of the newspapers. He was repre,ented to have said, that there were no "public defences" in India ; and remarks. had been made on that false statement. But, in truth, he had said, what he was rcady to repeat, that there was no public, no community, no rights, no liberty in India. As to " defences," speaking in a military sense, evert one acquainted with that country must know, that al most every village in India was well suited for defence. BONlikte MARINE. Captain MAXIieLD then proceeded to address the Court. Before he proceeded regularly to lay before the Proprietors the motion, relative to the Bombay marine, of which he had given notice, he wished, for one moment, to draw the attention of the Court to an anonymous letter which he had received, and in which were contained threats again•t him, for acting the in. dependent part he had done in that Court. The Hon. Proprietor then read the letter. It was signed " Anti- Meddler," and warned Captain Maxfield from taking the course which Mr. Hume had pursued with respect to the Company. The gallant Captain declared, that the writer of that letter must be a post contemptible creature. He had received a note (of pretty nearly the same description) before ; but he could assure his anony.' moos advisers and slanderers, that whatever they might wine, he would still endeavour to perform his duty— ., (Hear). The gallant Officer then proceeded to mite to the Court the grievances under which the Bombay marine had long suffered, and were at present' suffer ing. He argued, that their interests had been neglected, while those of every other branch of the Company's service were supported and encouraged. In conclusion, he moved a series of Resolutions (sixteen in number), for various papers, which he alleged, would fully bear out the statement he had made in the course of his speech. Colonel L. STANHorit seconded the motion in a short speech, in the course of which he observed, that if the system on which the Hominy marine was conducted was not improved, it would be better to put an end to that force altogether. Sir J. Dime was anxious that the motion should be withdrawn, because, on a former occasion, the Chair man had stated that the subject was under the consi deration of the Court of Directors. The Chairman (Sir G. A. ItostssoN) repelled in strong terms, the assertion that ti e interests of the Bom bay marine h.id been neglected, or that any measure had ever been adopted, with respect to it, by which it could be considered degraded. He begged leave to observe, as he had done on a former occasion, that the Execu tive Body were anxiottsly employed in endeavouring to ameliorate the situation of the Gentlemen con nected with the Bombay marine. Difficulties certainty were interposed between their effort* nod the accons plishment of that - which they wished to effect; and those difficulties, he must say, were not lessened br the conduct of those who introduced this quostionif the Court of Proprietors, while it sets under considews-- don elsewhere. The Hon. Chairman then adverted to the augmentation of half-pay which had beeW given to the marine service in India, for the purpose of proving that the cha rge of neglect, which the Hon. Mo ver appeared to have preferred against that body,wais net well founded. He concluded by moving an amendment, condemning the motion as " injudicious and inexpe dient," inasmuch as the Chairman had, on a former oc. casion, stated that the subject of the Bombay marine bad been under the most serious consideration of the Court of Directors. The DEPUTY CHAIRMAN (the HOD. H. LINDSAY) Se. conded the motion. Sir C. FORM was anxious that the original motion should be withdrawn. The declaration made by the Chairman on a former occasion. sufficiently proved that the Court of Directors %tete doing their utmost to ame liorate the situation of the Bombay marine. This was a good ground for withdrawing the motion; and if it were withdrawn. the amendment would fall of cour,e. Mr. 8. 151X0111 also spoke in favour of withdrawing he motion. Dr. GrtcußlST advocated the cause of the members of the Bombay marine. Mr.Twittisa deemed it to be an act of justice, both to the Chair and to the Proprietors generally, to support tie amendment. - - Mr. %MING took the same view of the question. Captain MAZIIELD replied. They might, he ob served, do what they pleased with his motion; he did. not shrink from it ; he called for papers to prove the statement he had made; and if those papers were re fused by a majority of that Court, *en the inference must be that they were afraid of inquiry. The original motion was then negatived. Colonel L. STANHOPE moved that the words 4 4 inju dicious" and " inexpedient" should be omitted.. in the amendment. Sir C. Firms wished that nothing should be sent forth to the world which might appear to cast a censure on the requisitionists. The CHAIRMAN declared that he would adhero to the amendment. It was due, he thought, to his own character, and to the character of theGentlensen who were connected with bim in of f ice. He re slly thought it was necessary that something should be done to pre vent those interminable discussions, which did not tend to the benefit of the Company, however they might please the Gentlemen with whom they originated. The DeetrrY CHAIRMAN concurred in all that had been said by his Hon. Colleague, and hoped that the Court would unanimously agree to the amendment. Mr. PArrisoN also spoke in favour of the amend ment. In introducing it, the Hon. Chairman had taken the responsibility wh. lly on himself; but he (Mr. P.) wished to say, that in acting as he had done, he con sidered the Hot.. Chairman is the organ of the Court of Directors—(Hear). lie wished to say nothing uncivil; but this he must observe, that there al.peas ed to bei with respect to this qtr:stion, a perversity of determination to press it forward when it was most inexpedient to .:it it —when, in fact, it bad been placed in the hands or those who were most anxious to forward it, and who Ave using their best. efforts to accomplish that 'Aida' the Hon.

I lite Griffin is the only whaler I have spoken during my stay at Sonerranna. A large prow arrived from the island of Solos; the Captain of her made the following communisation to the King, viz. That an English ship was wrecked near Solos about three week's previous to his making the communication. He describes her as being half full of oil, bilged, and nearly full of water, but mansitanding erect, and a great number of iron-bound casks float ins around her. He did not speak with the crew, but saw thim escape in five whale boats, and steer westward, moot probably for MEW port of Java.

NORTH-WEST PASSAGE. A letter from Mr. Douglas, the botanist, to Dr. Hooker, recently received, dated from the Great Falls, on theColombiaßiver, contains the folloting paraAraph " There is here a Mr. Macleod, who spent the Last five years at Port Good Hupe, on the Mackenzie River. He informs me that if the natives. with whom he is perfectly acquainted, are worthy of credit, there is a North-West Passage. They describe a very large river, that runs parallel with the Mackenzie, and falls into the sea near Icy Cape, at the mouth of which there is an establishment on an island, where ships come to trade. They a‘sert that their people are very wicked, having hanged several of the natives to the rigging. They wear their beards long. Some re liance, I should think, may be laid on their statement, as Mr. Macleod shewed us some Russian coins, combs, and several articles of hardware. very different from those furnished by the British Company. Mr. Macleod caused the natives to assemble last summer, for the purpose of accompanying him in his departure for Hudsea's Bay. The sea Is said to be open after July."

DLIMFRIPS, *mien ilk Daring the dreadful days of Saturday the Sd, and Thursday the Bth torrent, many shepherds made most • 'hair-breadth escapes, while fearlessly braving every villager in collecting their flocks from the Weather side of the hills. In the extensive tract of country stretching 'around•Sanquhar and Leadhills, the storm raged with dreadfdl violence ; and one poor fellow, of the name of James Bryden, was found dead at Todholes, parith of Kirkcoisnel, within tOO yards of his own doot. He pea risked on the Saturday, and his body Was not found till late the following day. With the exception of - the print of one Of his shoes, the deceased was completely im mersed in snow, and his - fltithful dog -was (mind lying under his right arm. The affectionate animal had suf. feted dreadfully, but weak and almost dying as it wits, it evinced an unwillingness to be separated from its master. • Bryden was much respected, and has left a widow and two children. Another shepherd of the name of David Dickson, .servant to' Mr. M'Cell of though amissing on Saturday, was not found till the following morning. .He had fallen down from cold and exhaustion, and though immediately carried to the nearest hrture, warmed and fed, it was long before he could tell what had befallen him. A third shepherd, though very nearly frozen to death, was found standing in an erect pasture, but deprived alike of consciousness and feeling. At Minnock, half-way betwixt Sanquhat and Wanloek head, a man was found dead by the way side. His name is not known, but lie came from Paisley, and travelled as a mendi:anr. David Caldew, labourer, Cald beck, who had been working at the roads, endeavoured to get home on the fatal Sd of March ; but he was over taken by the storm, and sank to r ise tin more,before he had travelled many miles. He has left a wife and six chi!. drem On the same awful day, Mr. James Brown, a most extensive and respectable shoemaker in Maar flock, 'and who has many relatives in this !limner, perished, while endeavouring to return home. A woman, whose name we have not learnt.. but who was house keeper to Mr. Muir, schools miter, Muirkitk, dropped down dead while looking at the men who were cutting the snow. Hannay Harkness, wife of Thomas Hark ness, residing near Heathwood, perished on the 4d, on Corrie Common, and at no great distance Horn her own house. She had keen at Waterbeck, and her body Was not discovered till the Monday following. In the eimese of Sabbath one of her sons passed and repassed the spot. where ,she lay, but the vital spark had pre viously fled, and from the depth of the snow, no part of her body was visible. Two women, it is said, *ere dug out of a wreath near Kelhead toll-bar, and there is a report of a woman having fallen a victim to the storm between Annan and Lofkerby. Tne drift on Thursday was so violent. that it was mid-day before the iiihabitants of Sanquhar could yen• cure to cross the threshold; even where they were in want of the necessaries of life. - Of some houses oily the chimney tops were visible. The coach from Dumfries to Glasgow, stuck fast on Saturday week near Auchen leck. The guard had to sit inside all night guarding l ase luggage, and the passengers, eight ur number, were . ~quartered in Mr. Templeton's. Two or three farmers in the parish of Girthon, will suffer considp ably fr om the loss of sheep. Around Mr. Murray's park . wall, the snow tries from six to seven • feet deep; but a complete canal has.been cut thiough it, so that carts end carriages may now pass. Mr. Brown, and three commercial Gentlemen, after being detained' several days in Dumfries, were again storm -stayed at Castle Douglas: They arrived on Friday-on foot ter-: ribly fatigued, having had to traverse huge wreaths at almost every step of their way. •. This day-week, fifty-three sheep were found buried and smothered on the comparatively well-sheltered farm of Holestain. The poor animals had been dead for boort,' and their carcases were sold at 4s. a head.
