TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EASTANDI.i STOCK: LADIIIS AND OsL r attars,. . , AVACANCY having tAken place en tie COURT of DIRECTORS, by the resignation of Mr.'lWining, 1 beg most reopeetfully to renew my claims to your attention. Many months past, it was suggested to me by some Proprie tors of East-India Stock, that there was a favourable opening for a Commercial Man of the City of London who Milli look for ward to a Sear in the Direction: That the Proprietors bad for torn* years met with few appli cations from any but Gentlemen from their own Settlements, or the Officers of their Army and Mariue, and that the interests of the Trade of London were barely represented. If these considerations be debervitig of notice at this moment, I may add, that I am the first, If not the only Candidate, who has presented himself upon these grounds. At no period of my life could I promise a greater degree of per-anal attention to your interests, and, should I be honoured wi:h your choice, it shall be my study to make an adequate re urn for your confidence. - I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your must uhedieat Servant, GEORGE RATICES. ctilar question befoie the Court, without , looking to the general Merits the Establishment to which it referred. . Mr. R. Jamtsom yielded to the idmonition of the Chairman. He was about to obey it, but when the question before the Caurtatas disposed of, he should submit to the's% the expediit icy of naming a proper day to look into the affairs of the Establishment at Haleybury—to inquire if it had answered, or was likely to answer the expectations entertained by the Court, when their Resolution of 1805 was passed.— To consider, whether it was desitable to keep up any establishment for the education of those to be em ployed in the Convene' service, and whether, if any were thobght necessary, it would not be better that it should be more as a school, with Masters to attend at stated hours, possessing power to enforce obedience to the rules and regulations proper to be observed, than as a College. And, especially, to inquire whe ther the whole expense of the establishment - might not be saved, by requiring parents, without compell ing them to send the:r children to any particular seminary, to bring them to a certain proficiency in their studies, preparatory to theiedepatture for India, the same to he certified by learned Professors, to be named from time to'time. .1-le should also suggest the propriety of removing the Military Seminary from Addiscomb. He wished a day to be named for the consideration of these topics. On the present occasion he should do nothing to provoke a debate on the general mtrits of the question, but when the proper day arrived, he should endeavour to shew that an inquiry was necessary. He wished the Pro prietors to have the amplest time afforded them to prepare themselves for the discussion. He should vote against the proposition'now before the Cottrt. Mr. LoWNDES complained that he had been repre sented to say he was afraid of being booted by the boys of Haleyburr College. He had not said this, but he had declared that he was ashamed of being connected with the j East India Company, from an apprehension that at would be thought their conduct in India resembled that of the young men at Hertford. 49, Catnhill. A Diatoms spoke to order, alledging that the Hon. Proprietor was straying from the subject before the Cools. Mr. LowNoss said, the interruption given from behind the bar, looked as if Gentlemen were afraid of the discussion of this subject. He feared it galled some of them, and that they were alarmed lest he should touch upon a tender point. He proceeded to oppose the motion before the Court, after being call. ed to ender by the Chairman. and Mr. S. Dixon. Mr. ELPHINSTONZ called on the last speaker to make good the charges he had insinuated against the Gentlemen behind the bar. He wished them fairly to be brought forward, and this done, they could, with( tut difficulty, be refuted. PATTIMI thought, all that the worthy PrO priet or . (Mr. Lowndesj had said, was not worthy of .the :puce of the Honourable Gentlemen near hits (I-fr. Elphinstelatly "Ple - wat sorrr'soy ateeilitionisid been. paid to such a farrago as he (Mr. Lowndes) had furnished. He sopported the resolution before the Court, and thought the language lately held on the subject of the College, likely to cause, ra:her than to repress, acts of insubcrdination among the scholars. Mr. HUMS thought the last speech irregular, and contended that Mt. Lowndes, who had been so fre quently interrupted, was not out of order. Mr. Lowunts resumed. His honour was concerned in not stating the things he had heard, but if he were provoked to do this, he could perhaps prove that he had had a peep behindsbe curtain as well as others— (Seara)—He never made any charges which he could not prove. He thought the Directori a much purer body of men than they were formerly ; and the only way to keep them so, was to oppose to them in that Court some five Or six sturdy Proprietors, who, like himself, did not eats two-pence for any body. When they were wrong he would tell them so; when right he should be happy to give diem bis praise and support. Mr. ELPHINSTONZ again challenged the Gentleman to, bring forward any charges he bad it in his power to make. This as an honest honourable man he was bOund to do. Mr. P. Moon's thought, while the establishment did exist, it ought to be made as efficient as possible ; he should therefore vote for the motion, though he via.' by no means certain that he should skimately vote for keeping up the College. Mr. S. Dixoth—Unless what the Students acquired at College was proved to be necessary to prepare them for the situations they were to fill in India, he hoped he should live to see it done away. If they could not be kept in subordination here, he thought them unfit to command in India. He recommended' to the Honourable Gendeman (Mr. Pattison) better language when speaking of those from whom be differed, than be had used to-day while adverting to the speech of one Gentleman ( Mr. Lowndes). Mr. PATTISON would not on any future occasion abstain Isom saying what he thought necessary to the peace and well-being of the Proprietary, when speeches wholly irrelevant to the subject of debate were made. If he had spoken harshly it was through the warmth excited by the manner in which the worthy Gentleman (Mr. Lowndes), for whom he had a great respect, frequently broke in upon the busi ness of the day. He meant no personal disrespect, aid was ready to apologize if any thing had escaped him which could be so understood. •_. _ _ Mr. — Lemmas-vindicated his own contact in the debates of the Court. The luestion was then Fe* ahfir the Resolution was camed. Mr. Jacasinemoved that die Resolution of thi Court in 1805, to which he bad before alluded, while speaking of the College, should be read. The itesolotio% which set forth' the advantages .atsticipated from the formation of such an i s I mem. baiting been' 'read, Mr. Jackson gave in the v . . ..:J .. ~i • 17.,/"M111111E, 411141 I.lKt PRICE S EVEN- PENCE. Resolution he had previously, described , (which will be found above) tp be read by the Clerk. When the subject came to be discussed; to avoid as much•as possible being charged with a departure from good sense, he should endeavour to confine himself to a simple statement of fact*. • . The CHAIRALAN suggested it Would be best that Mr. Jackson should call a Court for the dit.cuss;co of this subject in the usual way, by a Requisition signed by nine Proprietors. Mr. S. Dixon concurred in this suggestion. Mr. STEWART wished the subject to be thrown open to inquiry. and had no fear fur the result. Mr. Hollis was glad to bear the last speaker wish the subject thrown open to the Court, aid would no w . bring it to the test. As the Proprietors were gene rally ignorant of the affairs of the College, he would now move, that all reports f rom Ose lege, all correspondence thereon between the Court of Direc tors and the College Council, and all proceedings on the past of the Direcmrs in consequence of the same; and also all communications between the Board of Controul and the Court of Directors on the subject' bhould be produced. Mr. Hume described the Cot.. lege as having intruded kaell on the notice of Aise public. He could not believe the cvuntry Gentlemen were leagued together against this Establishment, as had been Insinuated. He contended the C•surt had a right to inquire into every thing connected with is', though this bad been denied to them, while they were .called upon to bear the expense of it. He insisted upon the importance of the papas now called for, and hod the resolution would be carried. Mr. LOWNDrs seconded the motion: • After a few remarks from the Chairman. who ob served that if the motion was made, it would lead to the disclosure of what was particularly confidential, arid of Other matters that ought not to be made pub. lie, and consequently could answer no good purpose. Mr. Hums consented to leave the wording of the motion to the discretion of the Court. Mr. Romaine GRANT was of opinion the Honour. able Gest'ellen had totally misunderstood the nature of the passage be had quoted, if he conceived the author had the sligfitest objection to the fullest en quiry. Bet he objected to any partial proceedings, if the College were to be dragged repeatedly before that Court. which prevented a complete judgment from being formed on the subject. For himself he would, on the part of the College, and in the face of that Court and every one, challenge the • most rigid enquiry into the question which has Come before the public. In fact it could not rest here, bail must be sifted to the bottom. If, therefore, it wad the sense of the Propietors that .it should be taken into complete consideration, he would acquiesce is the motion, and under this idea, he wished to state his case: He understood that many general charges were made against the Institution—charges of such excesses, vices, an 3 immeralities in it—offences of such a peculiar and thateestritdc utters es VS tellies Stith dimwit* on Op tiewdeesoref-iti seisseses-wsosbe St sivAluiy Witfi ce. r y parent tot to trust the Visors% of his son in such a contaminAing society. 1 / 1 1 denied that there were any groan is for theie calum• nies. It had been objected that the esthblishment was useless and its expenses enornic.us, while the whole scene was one of such tumult and disorder, as to render the place totally unfit for the purposes to which it was devoted. The CHAIRMAN here interposed to remind the Ho. nourable Member that he was anticipiting a discus sion which must necessarily take place at a future period. Mr. R. GRANT replied, that he only wished to state what he conceived to be the general course of tl:e debate. But whenever such charges were made, he would, on the part of the Professors and Students, give them a fiat and positive denial, unless proofs were produced of them. Mr. Ismer, the Director, thought the question was in such an uucertain and undefined state, that it was impossible for Gentlemen to understand it. He, , ,therefore, thought it should be clearly stated what the Honourable G ntleman's intentions were, or what propositions he had determined to submit to the Court. He should tell the date of the excesses to which he alluded. It should be remembered that the College had existed for some years, during which some very serious disturbances had certainly occur red. If the proposition referred to evils which bad already been corrected, it was hardly fair to mike them the subject of discussion. 'lf, on the other hand, the College had of late been going on well, it would be wrong to state the question with no autho rity to support it. The Learned Professor had as serted, that all that had been lately stated in that Court, if it referred to recent traits fictions, was founded on gross misrepresentationsi lr, however, they should prove to be true, the sooner such abuses were reformed the better ; but to propose to abolish the Institution would be like a proposition to abolish our Empire in India altogether. There was nothing so important as to have our public servants properly educated; and the sooner that question was discussed bete and brought before Parliament the better. But he wanted facts and dates, to ascertain it the case was not one which had not been already remedied? Mr. JACKSON admitted that an inflammation might have taken place on the part of the students ; but it was an inflammation against their constitated autho rities, to whom they had acted with the greatest coitumely. Let the Professors, wham he was ready to admit were most hieritorious, recollect what were the charges against the Institution. There had been a public document 'Ai before the Court, in the form of two Reports, frost the College themselves, which it was impossible to read without astonishment.— They contained the extraordinary information, that it was not in the, power of language to convey the moglausentableatak; of improvement oldie pupils. ?Itch an admission, after £lOO,OOO had been spent pa the College, which was also maiotained at an ex. esense of 5e16,000 a-year, was more extraordinary han had ever appesit'ed on the annals of any institu . • • TO BE SOLD BY AucrioN,.

A special Meeting of the Proprietors of East India Stock was held yesterday in Leadenhall-street, to take into further consideration the question of appointing an additional European Processor of the Oriental Languages, at a salary of £4OO, and a further allow ance of *lOO per annum. The Chairman (Mr. Raw) opened the business of the day, by directing the Resolution of the former Meeting on this subject to be read. ' Mr. Lowing; rose to address the Chair, but per ceiving that Mr. Randle Jackson bad already offered himself, withdrew his claim for the present, observing that he was always happy to appear a junior -counsel where his learned . friend took the lead. Mr. RANDLE JACKSON was glad an opportunity was afforded him on the present occasion to ettpress his sentiments on the Resolution which had beta come to by the lett Court: Having briefly taken a view of the merits of the case, he declared it to be his opinion, that without a dereliction of common sense, and of that duty which those he addressed owed to the Public ! they could not sanction the pre position for adding a new . Professorship at an ezpense of sesoo per annum to the Halrybury Establishment. Adverting to the remarks which had been made on what had been said on a former day in that Court on the subject of the College, be noticed the attempt made to detract from the importance of the statement furnished by a disappointed parent. It was contend id that the complaints coming from such a quarter, Might not to be relied on.o authority, but he wa conddent a stronger cale'for inquiry would ;be mien out than that which resulted from what was actuallY said by disappeistsitpafensts, could he thew *had • y persists dia.& mere -afraid to speaki from an offaohfilwea that issiatttaigheteill.shri meat would operate :gabs* t heists's** of children. He wished he Could king before them ' numerous parents, now alma* at that feet, insider. ing them in their hearts to adopt any measure but that of compelling them to send their children to that particular seminary ; could he do this, be was sure it would be found that they would be grateful, l whatever proficiency in literature, in science, or in oriental studies, might be required to quality theas for going to India, - if they were permitted to 'about them up to it themselves, and cheerfully engage to accomplish this, or forfeit their writerships, rat#* than risk the sacrifie of their morals by seade; them to Hertford College. The Cumastsus called the Learned Gestimmi tb . order. He submitted it to his own cessiderathos if be were not going into a general view of the subject, when a particular question was ,sll on which the Court had to decide at present. Mr. S. Duos hoped every circumstance connected with the management of the College would be r brought forward, and gone into this day. Mr. LOWNDIS thought the Learned Gendamian , (Mr. Randle Jackson) was iperfectly in order. He l did not ass that it was possible to speak to theverti 'Ol t: , e , et 1
