EAST INDIA HOUSE. The usual Quarterly Court of Proprietors took place yesterday. The Court was made Special to consider the propriety of adopting resolutions passed by the Court of Directors, allowing the sum of 20,0001. to the Marquis of Hastings, for the services of his deceased father in India, and for granting 1,0001. to Sir A. Camp bell, for the same purpose, ace. The Hun. H. LIND SAT having taken the Chair, the minutes of the last Court were read. Accounts were laid before the Court, respecting retired allow ances. ♦n account was also presented of the number of Cadets, and the amount of expenditure of the Company's College, horn which it appeared that 399 Cadets had been educated last year. :sir. Home asked the total expenditure of the College for the last year? The Secretary replied, that the total expenditure had been nearly 464,000. Some conversation arose on the subject of the education neces sary for Cadets preceding to India. Mr. Hume suggested that strict examination should he made. The Cuatimax then stated, that the Coon was made Special foe the purpose of seaming a pension of £4,000 per annum to Sir A. Campbell, fir his services in India. Mr. Hoses did not rise to oppose the motion, but to inquire whether it had been taken into consideration to reward the Army as well as the °Seers? The CHAIRDIAM replied, that provision had been made by the Bengal Government? 1 Mr. Hut asked if t►e relations of those who fell in the late, war in India would participate in the advantage to be enjoyed by the survivors? . _ The Coalman replied in the affirmative. The resolution for granting a pension of £l,OOO per annum to sir A. CAM , K.C.B. was then put and carried unanimously. The Caataatax informed the Court, that it bad. been further made Special, to consider the propriety of approving a resolution of the Clan of Directors, for the appointment of a Staff Captain, with fifteen shillings per day, to be attached to t►e Military College of iteldiscombe. Mr. HUMS dill not object to the motion, bat be regretted that they were called upon to iociease the expense of the College of • Addiscombe, already very considerable. He wished to knew the expense of the Military Establishment? The Secretary read a paper of the expense, from which it ap peared, that the Military expenses of the College had exceeded £7,000. Mr. lima wished to have a detail of the expenditure. The CHAIRMAN observed, that the number of Cadets bad been increased. The increase was rendered neceseary by the extension of Indian affairs.—The motion was then agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then informed the Court, that it was farther made special to approve a motion of the Court of Directors granting 20,0001. to the Marquis of Hast ings. In moving the adoption of this Resolution, the Chairman said, that the Government of British India, while entrusted to the care of the late Marquis of Hast ings, had been conducted in a manner so beneficially to the interests of the Company, that it needed no corn anent from him. He the (Chairman) considered it a daty incumbent on the Court to place the relatives of that illustrious Nobleman in a situation in some measure becoming their rank. The limited circumstances of he late Marquis were well known, and the present Marquis had entered upon an entailed property of only 4,0001; per annum. The late Marquis had arrived in British India at a time when the Government paper was at a discount of from 15 to 20 per cent. By his extrsordi-, nary and vigorous exertions, the value of that paper had not only iiien to par, but when he left iudia, it was at a very high premium. Nor was this all, the treasury, st the period of the Noble Marquis's arrival, was nearly empty, but he left the coffers of the Compaay full. The Noble Relict of the Matiriis, he was sure, would feel the value of the grant a thousand times mote than it it had been made in the lifetime of tie late Marquis, be- cause it was evident that the Coml•any had adopted this course solely with, a view to express the high opinion' entertained by die Proprietors of the splendid service of the late Governor•General.—The Chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the resolution. Mr. DIXON thought further information necessary, before the Court could sanction the grant. The Company had formerly given 60.0001. to the late Marquis of Hast ings for the benefit of his family. He wished to know how much the Noble Marquis's family received annually of that sum in the way of interest. The CHAIRMAN admitted that 60,0001. had been granted to the Marquis on a former occasion. This sum had been settled• on nustres, and the interest was given for the uses dale Marquis and Marchion :55 dui ing their lives. After their demise, the sum would be divided bet o een their children. . . . Mr. Dixos said, that although he was justified in asking informative on the subject, he would heartily join in voting the sum of 20,00 J. to the Noble Marquis, as an aid to enable him to uphold the dignity of his birth and station. The CHAIRMAN was anxious to state, that this grant was not intended for the exclusive benrilt of the Mar quit, but to restore the Marchioness also, and the other branches of the family to that moderate degree of af fluence, which the splendour of their birth demanded. Mr. Hume was disappointed by the manner in which the Resolution for the present grant was proposed. He bad long since said, that the value of the Noble Mar quis's civil services would be felt the moment the Court should be deprived of them--and the results that fob' lowed his departure from India, fulfilled his (Mr. Hume's) predictions. Those services ought to have been remunerated long since. When the public conduct of any man deserved rewards, those rewards ought to be conferred in the handsomest manner. When the im portance of the Marquis's achievements in India were remembered: it would appear that he had been se-, glected and ill-treated in his life time. A Governer who had performed so many valuable services—undertaken such great enterprises—increased the Company's rc. sources—improved their revenue—enlarged their terri tory—and so often led their arms to victory and tri umph—when those brilliant deeds and solid services were recollected, surely the conditions on which the present grant was proposed, were derogatory from the dignity of his family and memory of his splendid achievements. On these grounds, he would rather that the motion should run thus—" That this Cons t, holding a deep sense of the important services of the late Mar quis of Hastings, do grant the sum of 20,0001. to the present Marquis, the family, ecc." This sum should also be given unconditionally to his son, and not placed under the controul of trustees ; all former precedents on the subject of grants to Governors-General, went in savour of liberality. The Marquis of Cornwallis and the Marquis of Wellesley had been most liberally pro vided for; yet which of those equalled tie Marquis of Hastings in the value of their services in India ? True, the Noble Marquis had his faults: he was liberal, even . . to profusion, but this profusion did no injury to the public service, and was a proper subject of remark only to his private family, who alone coffered by it. fie owould conclude by supporting the present Motion, re gretting only that the sum proposed was not larger, aad the manner of presenting it more agreeable. Colonel STANHOPE, though he approved-the spirit of the motion, disapproved the terms in which it was shaped, namely, at that it is becoming the u,eal libe-' rality of the East India Company." This was bad taste' in the Court to begin by expressing an eulogy on their own liberality. He should support the vote, though expressed in awkward terms. General THORNTON expressed his approbation of the Resolution, but wished the manner in which it was or dered might be handsomer, and the sum larger. Sir C. Formes was sorry that the Hon. Proprietor, Mr. Hume. had instituted a comparison between the services of the M irquis of Hastings and those of the Marquis Wellesley. Had they already forgotten the important service; of the Marquis Wellesley in the Deccan affair—the battles of Delhi, Agong, and other victories ?—the fall of Seringapatam, and the Noble Marquis's noble refusal of 100,0001. out of the value of the stores of that place, which had been offered to him by the Government, with the knowledge of the Court of Directors? What was the recompense then given to the Marquis of Wellesley for those important services? Why, nothing more than the interest, for a certain time, of the sum or 100,0001. which he had so refused. The remunerati an given to the Marquis Cornwallis was only 2,000'. a year, and 40.0001. while the interest of the sum already gis ea to the Marquis of Hastings amounted to 40,0001. He (Sir C. Forbes) had no intention to object to the present grant, but merely wished to shew that he Marquis of Hastings was treated as liberally as any other Governor General. As to the terms of the motion, he would wish that it should conclude by a Resolution to pay some compliment to the memory of the Noble Marquis, such as the erection of a it stue. The Hon. Doi..nLas KINNAIRD admitted the extreme liberality of the late Marqnis of Hastings, but contend ed that the princely fortune he received in India was spent in noble hospitalities to those friends of his, who, fallen from their hereditary poser and affluence, had found in Iris munificence a shelter for their homeless heads, and an alleviation of their di.tresses. The history of India and of Eagl rod would reward his toils, by a statement of their great public importance. The Hon. Proprietor expressed h s hearty concurrence in the pro posed grant. Mr. Arrat.t. stated, that he was one of those Direc- tors who had declined giving their support to the pre sent motion. Whatever were the terms of the vote, the necessities of the family, and not justice only, were the grounds on which it could be granted; but, in truth, neither necessity nor justice had any tiring to do with the question, as the NoYe Marquis had already received from the Company a sum which he himself acknow ledged to be a princely donation. He had been already liberally rewarded. For this reason, he (Mr. Astell) ' would oppose the present motion with all the means in' Ms power. • Sir R. WIGRAM opposed the motion.--The Company had nothing to do wills the poverty of the Marquis of Hastings' family. The sum was proposed on account of their neceessities ; as this was not a sufficient reason, in his opinion, he should hold up his hand against the ,grant. A DIRECTOR denied that the necessities of the family were the ground on which the present grant was pro posed, as it was clear that, had not the late Marquis been Governor of India, no man could be found bold enitigh to propose a sum of money to bis family— (Hear). There were some Directors who thought the services of the Marquis sufficiently rewarded, but ac ceded to the grant through feelings for the family ; while others concurred in it from a sense of the value of his services. Now, in order to conciliate as many 'votes as possible, and consolidate both the sentiments that favoured the proposal, tire friends of the measure bad framed the motion in a general manner, as they thought it better to get the money on any ground than not get it all—(Hea.). Mr. PATISSON had supported the Grant on the ground of justice, but consented to the form of the motion, for she same reasons as the preceding speaker. The sum, though considerable in itself, was not great for the dig nity of their body. Akxander the Great once said to a courtier who remarked on the expensiveness of some act of his—" Such a present is well enough for one in your station, but not for mine ; I am Alexander." .So we (continued the Honourable Director) we are Alex ander, and our public presents ought to become the dignity of an Alexander—(Laugh , er). Mr. STEWART said that the present grant might be received by the family sithorit any degradation ; at the s.me time that it would be most honourable to the character of the Company. The CHAIRMAN entered into a numerical detail of the total sums granted to the Marquisses Cornwallis, Wellesley, and Hastings, from which he proved that the sums granted to the Marquis Cornwallis amounted to 140,0001. that to the Marquis Wellesley to 140,0001. while the Marquis of Hastings share was considerably less than either of these sums ; on that ground he had proposed the present motion. He regretted that he was not able to make it 40,0001. instead of 20,0001. How ever, he hoped that the sum, such as it was, would be granted by a large majority. Sir Jona Doris stated, that the Marquis of Hastings did not receive the prize money as a donation from the Company, but kora the Crown. Mr. D. Ktaniante observed, that the share of prize money coming to the Marquis of Hastings bad been absorbed by claims against him in India • his family would not receive a penny of it. Colonel Cana* DOrtz affirmed the assertions by hlr. Kinnaird. Mr. Tama supported the grant, and bore testimony to the seal ldf the Marquis of Haulage in discharging the daalleanflia office. The autumn then put the question on granting the suns of 20,0001. to the present Marquis of Hastings for his benefit, and the other members of his family. Sir C. Foaan suggested the addition to the motion of a resolu tion to erect a statue to the memory of the late Marquis. Mr. Dams suggested the propriety of making it the subject of a separate motion. The original motion was then put and carried. There were only three hands held up against it. Colonels MAXWELL and STANHOPE gave notices of motions for the next Quartet'' , Court ; the former on Stamp Duties in Calcutta, the latter on extending the Insolvent Laws to India.—Adjourned. Ann Thwaite, tenant of G. Hutchinson, Esq. of Eg gleston, having lost part of her stock of cows, and Mr. H. hearing of the same, he immediately made her a pre sent of one of his best cows. A new mode of administering medicine is now rapidly gaining ground in Germany. Instead of the large doses prescribed in this country, very minute quantities are given, and, as it seems, frequently with good effect. So small a quantity of blue pill as the 50th part of a gratin is sometimes administered ; and of sulphate of quinine, a medicine of which the ordinary dose here is three or four grains, 1.20 th part of a grain is ordered. It is difficult to conceive how so little medicine produces a sensible effect; but if it really is found to answer, t!•e practice must be very beneficial to debilitated persons, who are in this country frequently sent speedily to the grave by medicine.

His backers offered to oppose hint to my man in Ingland, barring no one, for I'soo to ,C3od, three bxk falls and stake to any amount then and there, but no one replied, and consequently It was no go. If his friends intend to get any match on, they most bootee less about hint; for the " kill. devil" character they give him is sufficient to have intimidated a Hercules. From himself the world heart llttle—it is scarcely possible to suppwe a man more cool in his de portment when at play, and snore unassuming in company, than Abraham.

The Wrestling Match now in progress at the Golden Eagle, in the Mlle-end- sad, was yesterday renewed with great animation.. A number of the best wrestlers in London, who showed great un. willingness to come forward on the preceding day, were obliged to make themselves standards, or relinquish their chance for the ;HUH altogether; in consequence of which the 'poets were of the best description. The play was principally ermined to the Devonshire men; only one Cornish wrestler was present (Sanders, of the Cold stream Regiment of Guards), and he quickly made himself a sun, dard by throwing two men. Twelve double players are now on the list, so that only four remain to be nude this morning, after which the double play will immediately commence, and wilt no doubt prove a high treat to the coonoineurs in the art of wresling. Abraham Cann closed the play by throwing one man, he must there. fore re.commeuce the play by throwing another to make himself a standard. Among the double players are the following names— James Cann, Sanders; Copp, Middkton, Thorn, Pyle, Finnon, Clarke, dcc. BOAT RACE ON TILE TYNE. The admirers of aquatic racing at this place were favoured with • high treat on Saturday - last. A match for 10 guineas a-•lde having been for some time pending between the Diamond and Fancy gigs, it was after a beautiful contest decided in favour of the Diamond by nearly two beats' length. Both of the boats had undergone !tn. pottant alterations for the occasion, and nothing that art could de vise for their improvement was left nnaccomplished. The retme• tier owners and backers bad been for sonic' time very active in as mining persons of established repute to row them, and the area selected were some of the best that the Tyne could furnish. The east number of boats by which they were attended greatly en livened the gratifying scene, and the shores, guava, shipping, bridge, and other places which commanded a view of the race, were thronged with anxious spectators. There was a good deal of money pending on the issue, and though both boats were backed freely at even bets, yet the winner bad the general preference. A charge of crossing waa preferred against the Diamond, and the stakes were for a short time withheld, bet it being proved upon investigation that thg course of the Fancy had not been Impeded, and that no thing was done with an unfair Intention, the Diamond being • clear boat's length ahead at the time, the charge was dismissed and the stakes delivered. They started from Hebburn Quay at 11 min. before, and arrived at Tyne Bridge at 12 min. past, S o'closk,having performed the distance, upwards of 4 miles, in 0 minutes. PIGEON SHOOTING. - . Yesterday afternoon a match between two Gentlemen, Members of rival Clubs, for £lO a-side, tbnk place to the shooting-mends belonging to Mr. Watkins, die proprietor of the Lord Nelson, in the Kent-road. The parties were, Mr. Wyse, of the Red House, Batttersear Club (the winner of five successive matches this season against u many different members of the Kenteeed Club), and a Gentleman of the last-named Club, whit nude a tie with bins on the previous Wednesday, from which circumstance the present challenge procceded l The firing was at 12 Mrds,2l yards from the trap. A number abase! shots and spelling characters were present to wit ness it, and bets to a considerable amour were depending on the result. The shooting was as follows—Mr. Wyse (Red Monse)— killed 5, mined 4.—Mr. B. (Kent-road)--killed 5, mined 7. Most of the birds were struck, but fen out of the bounds- Mr. Wyse hit all his birds except one. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. _ William Fronds, a young man dressed as Smithfield drovers generally are, was charged with having, In coujunctiou with others, committed a highway robbery. Mr. John Stapp, of Snowhill, thememonger, deposed that as he was passing along King-street, at the end- of Georgeslard, he felt' somebody'a arm round him, and immediately aftetwards he found that be was pinioned by the arms. Another person at that moment snatched the watch from his fob with violence, and the thieves ran down George-yard. The case of the watch 'flew off, in consequence of the violence of the jerk, and rolled along. Witness immediately cried" Stop thief rand ran after the fellow who had snatched the watch, which was a valuable gold one. When this happened, it was about nine o'clock on Saturday night. The thieves escaped. Witness was convinced that the prisoner was the person who pinioned his arms while the other men plundered him of his watch. Mr. Yarrow, a grocer in the neighbourhood where the robbery was committed, stated that he heard the cry of " Stop thief!" and ran into George-yard. He there saw the prisoner stoopi.sg down, and asked him what was the matter ? The reply was, that some body was robbed ; but who it was he (the prisoner) did not knew. The prisoner, when tailed upon for his defence, expressed his astonishment at the charge being preferred against him, and declared that he mold bring forward witnesses to prove he was in bed at the rime the robbery took place.—He was remanded, A young Lady of prepossessing appearance, and about eighteen years of age, requested to be permitted to mak e a commuaication to the Loan Mauna, and to claim his protection. She was, she said the daughter of An English Nobleman, who, at his death, left herself and her sister a competency. She had bee n , however, soon after wards seized by some persons and thrust into an asylum as a lunatic, and she was now afraid of similar treatment, if she attempted to go about without some protection. The Lout Maros - seeing a ring upon the connubial finger, asked the Lady where her husband was? She replied, that sbe had no has. band, and that the ring had been presented to her by a young Gen tleman of her acquaintance. She spoke of a solicitor, of Bedford row, as the Gentleman appointed to arrange her affairs. An elderly Gentleman, who said that he knew something of the Nobleman's family, asked the applicant some questsona, which she answered in such a manner as convinced her interrogator that she was not an impostor at an events. His Loaosuir directed an officer to attend her to the Solicitor's; but after having consented to go, abs hesitated, said that sbe would go alone, and disappeared. GUILDHALL. A lad named Henry Phipps was charged, before Sir PETIII Lanais, withstealing six pieces of cloth, •aloe 501. the property of his master, sir. Emerson, a cloth finisher in London WO. _ , The prisoner was under tannan,tand was sett out with a large covered cart to deliver the peoperty to the owner in Queen-street, litilisoro, on the Mid of .Inne last. did sot return, but the next morning Mr. Smarms karat that the mania bone bad bee. left. In the Tanall-rold, Britton; but he en . not trace what had be become of the cloth or the prisoner. On Thunder last the priso. oer was met with accidentally and given in charge. He then stated that he went into a baker's shop to buy a penny loaf, and in the mean time some fellow drove his cart away at full speed over Blackfrlare bridge, when be was at the top of Fleet-market, and being unable to come up with it, be was afraid to return to his master. Mr. Emerson remarked, that it was improbable he should have required to eat and drink, as he had had his (limier imme- diately before lse started with the goods. A servant girl living in the Vasull-road, deposed thu she saw the cart come up; a man gut out and ran away, but he appeared much older than the prisoner. This was at three o'clock in the afternooa. It remained stationary till nine at night, when it was observed to be empty and deserted, and was taken care of. in; Peres Lusts considered that the presumption of the pri soners guilt was sufficiently strong to warrant his commitment, and he was sent to Newgate for trial. BOW-STREET. Robert Fowler, one of the olicer;belonglstito the Court of Requests, Vise -street, Piccadilly, was yesterday brought before Mr.Pdrasout.t., on a warrant, in which he was charged with an assault on Mrs.' Tees dale and her brother, Mr. John Loyd Jones, a surgeon. A warrant has also been issued against a man named Clarke, another officer of the Court in Vine-street, who is also charged with mutating the complainants. Mrs. Teesdale stated her complaint. On Tuesday last. she said, she was summoned before the Commissioners of the Court in ques tion by her servant, for wages alleged to be due to her. Not wish ing to mix with the crowd of low wrsons assembled in the waiting room, the complainant raised a bar that divides It from the Court, with a •iew to pass into the latter place. Clarke, the officer, re fused to let her pass, and in an insolent manner demanded to see her summons. His language was so extremely rude, and uncivil, that the complainant refused to comply with his demand, and at the same time pushed forward for the purpose of applying to the Comodnioners to have der summons heard. She was Warne dlatrly edged round the waist by the pr over * . i.eltir. and fan' hack with soda violence. that had it wan been for her brother would have fallen to the ground. The aback was m sadden that she fainted, and was obliged to be canted into tbe stern air. Fry e was re cwired isr. in time, e t , however, , a t t o e the tiareAatmatsenmteso,:sichtles.hed, atl i, decided in hie favour.

Tw o or three friends who were with him Dow interposed, and succeed.d in re. mowing him from the court. Those Gentlemen fully cornborated the statevnerit of Mr. Jones, and declared that if they had not rescued him from the prisoner and his companions, the conseipaentes might have been fatal to the complainant, who is rather a delicate man, and by no means capable of e:ntending wi t h suc h assaiimus The prisoner, in his defence, said that the officers of 11: Cott! hail orders from the "Commissioners not to allow any per. sons to pass the bar unless they were called. The Lady, h said, wanted to force her way, and he pat her back as genital as he.cauld, on which she thought fit to faint without any mine: The gentlesiian, be said, struck Clarke first, by whotia 1e *ai struck in return. Mr. MENSMULL said be had heard enough of the cue to tequi l i the prisoner. to And good bail. The assault on the lady was si highly aggravated one, and that upon her brother still worse, it was monstrous to think that a person moving in the raak of a gem. demi], and belonging to a respectable profession, Auld receive from the hands of such fellows a black eye. He hoped that Clarke, who it appeared could not be found, would wino healolwe; headed, and that the complainants would follow up the proceed*. by iadictiog the prisoner. Mr. Jones said it was bis fixed determination to do !a. The prisoner was then held to bail, himself in 401. and two sere. tics in 201. each, to answer the charge at the seuions. HATTON GARDEN. Mary Crew was charged by Owen Kelly, a hawker, with swag from him 10 silk handkerchiefs and scrape shawl, at a public home where she enticed him to drink, under pt•tence of maim; a bap*, The property was found pawned in the neighbourhood for upwards of etm.-4-Folly committed.
