A Special General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was yesterday held at the Company's house in Leadenhall-street, for the purpose of laying before the Proprietors a Resolution of the Court of Directors, thanking the Most /sToble the Marquis of HASTINGS for his unwearied zeal for the interest of the Company, during his administration of their af fairs in the last nine years. The Chairman (J. PATT/SON, Esq.) in opening the business of the day, briefly pointed out the benefit which the Company had derived from the adminis tration of the Marquis of Hastings. The merits of the Governor-General of British India had been of such a signal character, that he trusted there would be on the question of their approval an unanimity of sentiment in the Court of Proprietors, confirming the opinion of the Court of Directors. His object in the present instance was to state, that the praise of the Court of Directors had not been given for any parti cular act of the Marquis of Hastings, but they in tended by that vote to put on record their opinion of his general conduct and services. On that account it was not necessary to produce papers to authenti cate his claims to their commendation. The history of his administration was contained in every paper which had come from India since the commencement of his administration—(Hear, hear). —They had twice voted him their thanks before, on the ground of par ticular services, and there was a third vote to him of a pecuniary nature, expressive of their strong feeling of gratitude for his general services. The first vote was for his conduct in the Nepaulese war, the second for his conduct in the war against the Mahrattas and Pindarees ; and in those two instances the papers which authenticated the particular grounds of appro bation were produced. But in the third instance no document was produced, because the reward was for services already known to the Company. Thus they were in possession of a summary of the administra tion of the Marquis of Hastings, and the present vote of the Directors was given as a tribute of praise for nine years service, and the conduct of an adminis tration eminently distinguished for wisdom and talent —(Hear, hear)—and he hoped, from the General Court of. Proprietors, a similar expression of senti ment. moved and can ied unanimously. The result of that administration was seen in the flourishing state of the finances of In dia,while nothing appeared likely to disturb its present peace and growing prosperity. —lt was Only that morning he had received a letter containing a satisfactory exposé of the financial state of India, by Which it appeared that the surplus reve nue was a crore and nearly a half. He had also re ceived other accounts, by which it appeared that all tears of war were at an end, and that the Marquis had achieved a great saving by the removal of the payment of interest on a large loan from India to- England, by which the home treasury was placed in a state of comparative affluence, and the saving to the Company might be computed altogether at one million. But if they Pocked at the effect ofahe Go vernment of the Noble Marquis upon the moral cha racter of the people whom he governed, they would have still stronger grounds for their applause— (Hear, hear)—and for their concurrence in the opi nion expressed by the Court of Directors. He hoped he had said enough to convince them that the Reso lution proposed for their approval was tio more than a just tribute of praise to the conduct of the Marquis of Hastings—(Hear). Mr. IL JACKSON moved that the former votes of thanks and pecuniary reward KL.the Marquis of Hastings be read, which was diine accordingly, and the Hon. Proprietor went on to state that the merits of the Marquis of Hastings were such as to emi nently entitle him to their approbation. Recent cir cumstances had confirmed his claims; but if they carried back their mind to the recollection of his history, they would find that his conduct bad accom plished what their knowledge of his character bad led them to anticipate. He had been a brave, gal lant, and enterprising soldier in the American war. In Flanders he had particularly distinguished himself; and being aware of his high qualifications before he went to India, however sanguine their expectations of him might have been, he believed they were more than realised by the result—(Hear, hear).—But it was not necessary now to enter into the minute details ; it wai quite sufficient to know that the Mar quis of Hastings had governed India in A manner that was consonant to the British character, and also with exemplary wisdom and humanity—(Hear). As for himself, he considered aggrandisement worth less and unhallowed, unless k was accompanied with happiness to the people subdued. He ciinsideted • - $o Mall acitlitiosigi pine et the intentbnis or the Marquis of Hastiiits that hated employed Govetnet Elphinstone and Mr Jebel Malcolm% to consider and report en the ceded previntes ; and the eoniecitientil was, that the Most satisfied Of the lbritish subjecti under our dominion *ere that tithe prbvinces ii. cently ceded. He would now niuw a Rewlutioni which, he hoped, would meet with their cordial*. honest, and hearty concurrence. He then moved of Resolution of Thanks to the Marquis of Hastings, confirmatnry of the Resolution tb that effect of tie Court of Directors, referring to the previous instal of thanks and pecuniary reward to the Noble Marquis, concluding by an expression of regret that dome* circumstances had induced him to withdraw himself from the Government, and stating that the Court of Proprietors considered his conduct entitled to their unfeigned admiration, gratitude, and applause. Mi. Nom. seconded the Resolution. Mr. D.,Ktruman declared that he wOald vote tee the motion ; but he thought; at the same time, that* was not properly timed. The Resolution of theetturt of Dimmer. was, it appeased, drawn op on tbo spur of dritomment, in order to meet the Noble Marquis beterebe left the shore of ladia% Many people would be inclined to think thmt it was &amuse he was *boat to leave his high situation, as they all knew wen-that be most be a very obstinate and unbending foe who would nor build a bridge of gold for a retreating enemy. The Honourable Proprietor inveighed with great warmth against the adoption of that system of cant, both in the Court of Directors and in the House of Commons, which prevented those bodies from thanking the Marquis of Hastings for his civil policy as well as.for his military achievethents. That sys tem, which was most hypocritical, arose from a pre tended desire on the part of the Legislature s and of the Court of Directors, not to sanction the warfare which- the Heads of the Indian Government were sometimes forced to wage. In the case of the Mar• quis of Hastings, the most perfect justification was made out, and therefore the Directors were bound to have spoken, in a plain and manly way, that approval of his conduct which they must have felt. Colonel STANHGPI commenced by speaking of Lord Hastings's military administration. He stated that the discipline of the armies had been improved by the scrupulous attention paid by his Lordship to Courts-Martial, by preventing the pressing of pea• sants and the plundering of villages, an ancient cos• tom in India as well as in Europe, and attended with grievous consequences. He neat referred to Lord Hastings's civil administration. The very name of Hydrabad was associated with everything that was vicious in government. The system' of oppression and extortion carried on in that State—a State, he blushed to say, under British protection was a foul blot on our character. That stain had been partly expunged by a late reform which had taken place I there under the able conduct of Mr. Metcalf. He next discussed the liberal principles of Lard Hastings's Government, the great feature of which was, the dif fusion of knowledge through the medium of educe. uon and a free Press. By these great acts Lord Hest• ings had laid the strong foundation of permanent good government. The Hindoo superstition, the growth of 30 centuries, and that horrid despotism which accompanied it, had now to contend with knowledge, which must triumph. " For the com mandment of knowledge," says Bacon, , g is a corn. mandmeut of the will; for it is a commandment of the reason, belief, and understanding, which is the highest ran of the mind, and giveth law to the will itself." Colonel Stanhope said, that it was impos- sible that gross superstition and despotism could exist where education and a free Press prevail. Dis cussion must soon drive from the Hindoo's mind his 48,000 Great Prophets, and his 830 millions of Gods. He then noticed certain great evils that prevailed it Hindostan, and which could only be removed by dis cussion. The Hindoo society is divided into castes, which is the greatest barrier to good government. The productive classes are all denounced vile and odious; the women are of a debased race, and kept in a state of slavery. Falsehood is universally prac tised, and perjury, which prevails in all our Courts, to the subversion of all justice, is in some instances sanctioned by law. There are yearly burned 1,000 widows, and thousands of sick are drowned in the sacred rivers; and these are all British subjects. To destroy this vile superstition, and to set up in its place a pure worship, has been the professed object of all Mahomedan and European Governments. Let us see the course they pursued. Mahmood first vowed to exterminate the Hindoo worship: in twenty years he invaded Hindostan twelve times, and spared neither age nor sex. Tippoo resolved on extexmi. nating their worship: he made slaves of them,forced them to eat beef broth, and destroyed 8,000 Hindoo temples. Still Polytheism flourished. The Porto ' guese set up their Inquisition at. Goa: they perse• cuted the Mahomedans, Hindoos, and Syrian Clink. clans. The latter, unmolested for thirteen centuries by the tolerant Hindoos, were called on to abjure their simple worship; they fled to the mountains, everywhere the asylum of liberty. The Censor, ever standing aloof in guilt, caused. their ancient and sacred manuscripts to be burned. The Missionaries have done much good by the example of their virtu. ous lives, by their moral preachings, and by their schools; but they could do nothing to break down the rooted prejudices of irrational men, unassisted by a free Press. Ziegenbald, a Danish Missionary, seemed one hundred years ago to have been aware of this : he says, " the Press being set up, proves so helpful to our design that we have need to thank the LORD for so helpful a benefact i on. " It is well known to you, that the vices of P opery , the re. storation of learning, and the invent io n of printing, led to the Reformation ; and if the Hindoo supersti tion is of a still grosser character, the e ffects of dis cussion, in this more enlightened age, will be propor. tionably greater. Colonel Stanhope then, from do cuments, proved that education on a large scale had T ( l '
