An account was next laid before the Court, showing the nuaber of students admitted into the Companies' Colleges at Addiscombe and Haleybury, with the an nual expense of their education, &c. Mr. Hums wished to know what was the total ex- penee, and the number of writers and cadets sent oat from the body of students educated in those Colleges. It was then stated from the accounts, that from Midsummer 1820 to Midsummer 1821, there bid been 40 students admitted, and no petition for admit. sioa rejected : and that 40 had been appointed writers, the net aunutil expenditure 8,0021., viz. gross expen diture 18,8871., receipts 10,8851., net expenditur6 8,002/.

Yesterday a Quarterly General Court of Proprietors was held at the East India-house, for the considera tion of a variety of business. When the Chairman took his seat, the Secretary proceeded to read the minutes of the last Court, and also the titles of certain paper relating to the super annuation list, and other details connected with the Company's service. The superanuation list was read by desire of Mr. R. Jackson. Mr. RIGBY complained of the impossibility of un derstanding the nature of the public business, when cursorily read in Court, and suggested the propriety of documents of importance being printed for the use of the proprietors. The CHAIRMAN replied, that such an expenditure was unnecessary, as all their papers of importaace were mostly printed when laid before the House of Com mons: they were, besides, at all times accessible for any proprietor who thought proper to refer to any documents. Mr. Hums said that the by-law required the pre sentation of all papers to that Court at their nest meeting after sash. papers were laid before Parlia ment; bat the House of Commons did not always print such papers. A PROPRIZTOR suggeste(titt.ii would be desirable to have the pipets left is the Proprietors room. with an index of easy reference. The Catalano* said, that a book containkg those P apers, said 141, ißdalge. wa►s always Ap a pt, and easy of access; not, however, in tiff Proprietors' room, for CHINA SEAS. On the resolution being read for remunerating the services of Captain Ross for his survey of the China Seas, Mr. HUME expressed a wish to know whether Capt. Ross's maps had been published, or whether the infor mation he had acquired in his survey was generally available for the public benefit. The CHAIRMAN replied in the affirmative, and that the maps were to be bad at the Booksellers. DI. CACIIEIST'S SYSTEM OF EDUCATION. The CHAIRMAN then submitted the following reso- Intion to the Court of Proprietors : " That the Court having in the year 1818 resolved to encourage Dr. John Borthwick Gilchrist in his Lectures in the Ilindostanee language, by granting to him for the term of three years a salary of 2001. per annum, sod the Court having on the 29th ultimo come to a resolu tion to continue that salary for the further term of three years, and to grant to Dr. Gilchrist for that period an allowance of 130/. per annum to enable him to provide a suitable lecture-room, the same be now allowed." . . Before the question was put upon this resolution — At the request of Mr. Hume the resolution of the Court of Directors of the 4th of November, 1818, was reads it was expressive of the opinion of the Di rectdvs, that all medical assistants going out to India should previously attend to the study of the [Endo!. tanee language under Dr. Gilchrist, for at least two months, and that before their embarkation they should produce a certificate of such attendance from the Doctor. Three guineas were named as the remunera tion to be paid for attending the course of lectures. Mr. Hume then said, that he never rose in that Court with so much satisfaction as at present, when he meant to call their attention to the state of educa tion in their possessions in India. There was no grea r question connected with the policy of their rya fgo Gent in India than that of education; and very remarkable, that while a similar sub ject occupied universal attention both in England and indeed in Europe, so little had been done to consider its imperative necessity in India, where it affected a populltion of 80 or 90 millions of human beings. It was a blot upon the system of their Indian govern meat, that so little had been done in a long coarse of years for diffusing a knowledge of the colloquial lan ,ruage of the natives, under circumstances and in a mmsi tuation where that knowledge was so important in its consequences to the interest and happiness of so many millions of people. What had they done for educa tion in India since the year 1805? On the 31tli of Fe bruary of that year, the Court adopted a resolu tion, declaratory of the importance of the education of their civil servants in the native lan:Nage a' India, and for the purpose of more effectually giving it, the College system was established for the Company's servants. Now, o.e object of that College was unquestionably the diffusion of a superior civil and oriental education for their servants appointed to office in India, and a great expense had been incurred; hut the practical results fell very far short of what they would have been, had a different plan been pursued. It could not be said that a system of economy bad inter posed to prevent the realization of their Dopes; for, ac cording to the aggregate accounts of the years 1818 and 1819, the expenditure incurred amounted to 53,8331. a year: that expenditure was fur the colleges both at home and in India. Such a stun as that was more than a 4 quate to provide education for the whole of their ser vants. Yet, notwithstanding the large amount lie bad just stated, the education it conferred did not cotnpre bend more than in the proportion of one to six of the Company's servants. He had no doubt that Dr. Gil christ would do considerably more for the expenditure of 3501. a year than had been previously done for the 50,0001.; indeed, the Doctor, with proper regulations, would educate the whole of their civil and military see-' rants in Hindostanee. Of 434 cadets sent out last rrer. only 55 had been educated in Ilindostanee at Addis. combo. All the rest had gone out to India, at least at far as the Company were concerned, without any adequate education. Ile wished that the resolution, which had been read as referable to medical assistants should be rendered applicable to the whole of their servants, for it was obvious that to the whole the necessity of know ing of Hindostanee applied ; and the evils which prac tically arose from a want of it were often imminent and serious. The honourable gentleman here referred to several high authorities for the purpose of showing the comparative inattention paid towards inculcating the necessary knowledge of the rudiments of those native languages which were indispensible for the pro per performance of the new ditties to which the atten don of the Company's servants were called upon their arrival in India. The Marquess of Hastings particu larly pointed out the ill consequences which had re sulted from an inattention generally to the rudiments of the Hindostanee language in the education of the Company's servants destined for active duties among the natives. Mr. Colebrooke's and Lord Minto's opinions were also referred t) by the hoe. member, for the purpose of more effectually pointing the at tention of the Court to the great advantages which mast practically flow from the dissetnination of Dr. laikhrieirs plan for teaching the Hindostanee, which, se was well said, was the common vehicle of all col loquial intercourse in a large portion of the Company's 'territories. Lord Minto pointed eat bow compara tively oldies it was' to tend oat persons conversant in Soused', itYlich4as a dead language, instead of Hie- , ... I'l • .., „ , r e.... , P . RICE SE Pi _vat_ • • ..• Joliette*, which irks a living one. Thby alight as well, he said, send persons to do general dutimin England, who, Instead of the English, language, were only acquainted with Hebrew. The htitiooral?le menibei then complained that, notwithstindingihe ac knowledged superiority of Dr. Gilchrist% totem 'of education, a different'Oite 'should be blindly persever ed in at the Company's colleges at Addiscombe anff Haleybury; so that, io point of fact, those who had studied at home were obliged, on their arrival in In dia, altog ether to depirt freer their ' previous line of study, an adopt thatbf Dr.-Gilchrist, which was alone taught in India. All'wll9 were acquainted With the Oriental ladruagei knew that there were two modes of teaebing their redibsentl--4ie was Sir Nut. Jones's, and 'which cobsistedi fdr 'the purpose of acquiring the proper prolateiatio nertties„lor giving . to .

Now Dr. Gilchrist's was a far easier and more comprehensive plan, and had en tirely exploded Sir Wm. Jones's in India. Sir James Mackintosh, Lieutenant Irvine, and several other •ifi- vial persons in India, who had turned their attention to the subject, had pointed out the advantages which Dr. Gilchrist's plan possessed over every other in pre vious practice. It was quite preposterous, he thought, that the Company should teach Hindostanee according to one plan in England, and upon a different one in India. The Hon. Member enforced his opinion of the value of the Doctor's plan by pointing out its adop tion in Dr. Hunter's valuable Dictionary, and Mr. Campbell's Grammar; and said that for one book print ed upon Sir Wm. Jones's system, there were 300 upon Dr. Gilchrisre. From the fullest enquiries, he (Mr. H.) had had in his power to make, and from his own actual experience, he knew no man who had so strong a a claim upon the Company as the gentleman lie had named. Dr. Gilchriet's abilities and services had been repeatedly submitted to the Court as entitling him to their most marked attention. The Doctor was the first man, after the Company had subjected for 50 years to their authority the native troop, who trans lated for the latter the articles of war. Colonel Scott in the year 1796 quoted that circumstance among other meritorious services of a similar nature performed by the Doctor ; and in the year 1861. t.:!ien ill health compelled him to leave India, the Governor in Council (the Marquis IVellesley) transmitted to the Court of Directors the strongest reeomine idation of the Doctor's services. Ile referred to these facts merely to show that the present mark of attention conferred on Dr. Gilchrist was buts sesall,iswor in return for services performed ander Itch flattering circumstances many years alto. That tribute was due from him (Mr. H.) to Dr. Gilchrist, for he knew that much of his pro gress in India was attributable to the instruction in 'the native languages which he bad derived from that learned and respectable individual. When the pro posed remuneration was considered, it should not be forgotten that Dr. Gilchrist had been five years in his situation in India, when ill health compelled him to leave the country he beeen seven years, accord ing to the college regulations, he would have been en titled to retire upon a pension of 700/. a year, and he had now but a 120/. a year pensioa for all his past ser vices. The present addition was, however, extremely proper. though it fell short of what such a luau's services deserved. He (Mr, flume,) when lie enforced the necessity of the Company's adopting Dr. Gilchri-t's plan of teaching. the Hindostanee to all their servants going out to I ndia, by no means wished to damp the study of the higher oriental languages which might he con sidered inure as branches of accomplishment, than as acquirements of immediate practical utility. These would always lind students and admirers, as classical learning uniformly did : all he meant was, that the 'study of the c illuquial language in common use should be deemed an indispensable acquisition, and he intend. ed to have submitted a motion upon the subject ; hs would however, for the present, merely snggest the blanguages. he adopted, subject to the reconsideration of the Court of Directors. in the confident bope that they would see the evident u tility of adopting his suggestion. From the year 1793 to the year 1812, when their charter was re newed, there bad been 4 ,7 28 cadets sent out to India , and 592 assistant surgeons. In the year 1813, 3,46 7 cadets were all that remained in Bombay and Madras : and had Dr. Gilchrist's plan been then more generally they might have reckoned on the whole hadnom alluded to fully understanding the native How was it in the present year? Of 496 sent out to India, only 55 had been educated at their college; fortunately, however, in the year 1819, 165 had been educated by Dr. Gilchrist, at an expense of 2001.. being equal in proportion to twice the number, whose education bad previously colt 20,0001. In 1820 he bad educated 228 ; and iu MI, 226 ; all value able to the Company's service in proportion to their power of discharging their duties with more efficiency and satisfaction, according to their knowledge of the people among whom they had to live. It was the want of so necessary an acquirement which made the ad mission of strangers into India objectionable ; let them merely qualify themselves to commune with the inha bitants by a knowledge of their language, and then hr, for one, saw no danger to their residence in India, Many of the evils which arose from the misconduct of Europeans and the vain osasequeoce assumed by them parties could have better communicated with each among the natives would bare been obviated if the other. When it was teeridered that previous to going out to India an attendance for two mouths upon Dr. Gilchrist would obtain the necessary elementary know ledge, it was surpulsiag that so valuable an opportu nity should be disregarded. The Only objection be had ever heard was, that it would e;pase inexperi enced youths to the dangers of a 2 months: residence, perhaps at allistanoe from their families* ascii a me tropolis as this.
