The Cigataarao laid before 'tie . Cotirt certain se cousin. Mr. Hyatt asked whether the persist.. of 440/. graatid to'Col. Oilkspie.•siated in the accounts to he fbr 34 years' service, was over and above the pension enjoyed as a military man. He thought that Gentle man bad not been 31 years in the civil employment of _ the company. The CUAIRSAW replied, that the pension was lade. pendent of all military service. Mr. Hurst expressed a doubt Whether, under the act of the 53d Cieo. 111, military officers were enti tled to this pension. He was afraid a mistake bad been coiamitted. The CUAIRMAN observed, that Colonel Gillespie only enjoyed; as a military man, half pay as a lieu tenant. To the legal question be could make no re ply, And be begged that the subject might be allowed to .tuvd over. The CHAIRMAN then declared a dividend of 5j per crat. upon stuck, from sth January last to the sth July next. The CHAIRMAN said. in consequence of the cote of tliaiiks which had been passed upon Mr. Canning by a Court of Ptopiietors, a letter bad been sent to that Gentleman, enclosing the resolution passed. and an answer had been received from Mr. Canning, which should be read to the Court. The letter was then read. A long diseossion took place with respect to the ap pointment of the Committee of By-Laws, and it basing been communicated from the Chair, that Sir J. B. Walsh had retired, Mr. Richard Twining, jun., was proposed by the Chairman to succeed him. A question tisen arose ;,s to whether the right of proposing such file:nbers of the Committee was rested in the Directors or the Proprietors. Mr. If,. Jackson, Mr. Lowndes, and others, supported the right of the Proprietors, and Mi. I:rant, Mr. Patterson, and others, that of the Di rectors. In the result, Mr. Twining was appointed; and that gentleman shortly returned thanks fur the 'ascii nation. The CHAIRMAN bating communicated to the Court son.e inforinatiun respecting the pension of Col►nel fiilelpie, and after an observation from Mr. flume, Mr. I). KINN-SIMI alluded to the claims of the East India Company upon the Government amounting to 11,114/(. (lite ou account of recent expeditions. Ile imagined that a great portion of that sum was due on account of the expedition to St. Helena. A statement had gone forth from the mouth of the Chancellor, that claims had been made by the Company, a great part of which would be disallowed. This, lie thought, argued either great scant of foresight or of honesty; he hoped only the former. The Court of Proprietors were naturally jealous of these expenses, and were anxious for their early re-payment, particularly with respect to the expedition to St. Helena. The CIIAIIINAN replied, that there were no under- 1 standing between the Government and the Company. but a written contract had been drawn up. It was ( t rite true that the Company bad not yet obtained what had been expected (although not for want of asking;) but the probability was, that very shortly the accounts would be adjusted. The intention was, that in future these accounts should be annually settled. Mr. LOWNDZII regretted that so much money had boo) expended upon the support of a man who lived at St. Ilelena like a nabob, and who was more deserving of other treatment. After some observations from Mr. R. JActesoN re- Let; ve to the pension of Colonel Uillespie, Mr. HONE remarked upon the inert ase of the pen sion list, and alluded to the payment of pensions to 11)1. Ltanesden and Col. Lawrence. (o!onel STANHOPI postponed his motion relative to tl.e Asiatic Press until the next General Court. 11Ir. Hrtse was anxious that the question should be allowed to stand over for the present, as he thought the discussion would sow have no beneficial effect. Colonel Sraxiturx would certainly bring forward the subject at the next Court. Ile thought little danger to be apprehended during the adminis tration of the Marquess of Hastings, but he was anxious finally to put down mental despotism. The Court soon afterwards adjourned.

FrtEr:4 ti FUNlls.—Five per Cents s(f.—Bauk Actions, The subj:•cts which ot rupi.4l the attention of the House of Commons last night were various and inte resting. Among the fir,t in order of time, was the motion of Mr. BUXTON, with a view to adopt some restrictive twastire on the practice, fur a return of the number of Hi.:loo women who, during the last four rears, had been publicly sacrificed in India ou the funeral piles of their husbands. From .the authorities he had consulted the Honourable Member stated the number to amount to between three and 41)00, in the p res i t l t o, Fort alone, and of that number, he added, there were many who were far from being vo• !notary vi.litns on this horrible occasion, which the Hindoo Laws assume them all to be, but that compul sion, in violation of tho:.e laws, was often employed to make them subject to this revolting usage. A prac tice au abhorrent, tiros brought with much propriety under the em,itleration of the House, gave occasion for some appropriate observations by several Members. On all ship, it was agreed, that it would be highly gratifying if flee inhuman custom could be abo lished ; but the question was, what kind of interference could be adopted which, in a rase connected with the religious prejudices of the natives, could most deli cately, yet effectually accomplish the desired pOrpose. The promotion of knowledge was suggested by the advocates fur the suppression of the practice; but they were admonished that by the diffusion of know ledge they might dissolve the spell by which the minds of the natives are at present subjected to the contruul of their European masters, and that en danger the safety of our Indian Empire. The motion was however carried, and the papers ordered to be laid upon the table. The next important subject that was brought forward was the motion of whisk the Hon. Mr. HUTCHINS IN had given notice, relative to late proceedings on the continent. His objeckWas to persuade the House to express their concern on the oc casion. and to address his Majesty, retrestiag bias to use his influence to secure to the minor States of Europe, their undoubted right to chose their own form of Government, and also to remonstrate with his Allies on the assumption of the Power• they claimed and the principles they professed. Time Marquess Of LONDONDERRY. however. undertook to thew the impropriety of interfering with the Arts of other Governments not immediately affecting onr selves ; and the motion was. on a division, negatived by a large majority. The principal subject n hich afterwards enraged the attention of the Home was Mr. ScaaLett's Poor Relief Bill. On this occasion Mr. Catenate argued with much ability against all the three propositions which the Bill contained ; and Rot one of them obtained the support of any of the other Members who spoke on the 'olden, though some of them professed tlleMseives friendly to certain of its principles. The further consideration of the meaner was adjourned to this day. when we expect a heal check will be presented to Its progress.

The Queen, it is understood, has written anothei letter, demanding a proper plare for her acermonodatior. in Westminster Hall and the Abbey at the ceremony of the Coronation. To he crowned - depends on his Ma. jestv's pleasure; hut. there is not a precedent on record of a Queen Consort being denied place as a spectator m. such occasion ; besides ' waiving all claim as Queen, Con s ort, she conceives herself entitied to the distinction as a Priniess of Brunswick. Last night her Majesty honoured Aatley's Theatre .with her presence, and met such a reception as fully de monstrated the unabated ardour of her popularity. Het Majesty entered her box about a quarter after six o'clock, and the moment she was recognised the whole audience rose and expressed their respect and regard by cordial and continued applause, the ladies waving their hand kerchiefs and the gentlemen their hats, while her Ma jesty gratefully acknowledged their attentions—" Cries of " God save the King" were mixed with the public applause, and the whole dramatic corps came forward to comply with the plblie desire, hut we observed that after the first verse the audience, who joined ii the song, uniformly substitnted the word Qeern for King. Her Majesty, with the audience, stood during the per ' foruiance of the great national anthem. The first piece of the evening was entitled Gil Wes Serntikne, and there were passages in this piece, which appearing to the audience to bear some allusion to the care of the Queen, were promptly caught and universally cheered. Where Gil Was is aboot to rescue Donna Menrier from the cave of the banditti, he ex claims, "Trust me, Madam, that I will not forsake you, for it isthe first duty of mankind to succour wemen in the hour of peril •,—(Loud plaudits.)—but when the per. former added, " None but a d—d rascal would desert the woman whom he is pledged to protect," the cheers were quite rapturous. Several other passages both in the first sad second piece were also applauded, from their apparent reference to her Majesty's case. Between each of the acts the audience presented un equivocal testimonies of attachment to her 11ajesty, which she aas graciously pleased to ackuowledge. Her Majesty appeared, we were happy to see, in excellent health, and in the highest spirits. She seem' tl much amused by the performance, and she could not fail to be gratified by the audience. for the cordiality of their regard ails quite evident. The audience was consider ably more numerous than has ever been witnessed at this Theatre; no part seas, indeed, unoccupied; the cirt us was so full that it beran'r iteci“:tary to dispense a 111. the 'natal equestrian exhibition. Her Majesty it ith drew froni the Theatre about ten and was arenni ponied to her carriage, as sse .la.. bent upon her en trance, by several persons of distinction, followed by the must enthusiastic acclamations of the people. The ship Jolon, arrived off Holyhead, hrinzs ad• vices that the Royal sgototolron actually sailed from the Brazils on the day mentioned in our paper of yes terolsor (the 25th of April.) The treatment which the H nylon Ambassador has received from the Turkish Govrrnment, on endeavour ing to obtain the release of Itassesi, a fireek merchant, who was banker to the Embassy, if not satisfactorily explained or atoned for, may compel th• Emperor of Russia, to assume that hostile attitude against the Porte for the ake of his personal dignity, which it would have been inconsistent with Isis present princi ples to take in behalf of the Greek revolt. The Am bassador, it appears, made fres- 1 1114st and fruitless a/TH .1404a to the Visier fur Daisssi's release, and at last presented a Petition to that effect, to the Sultan him• self, en his way from the mo•yne. The Russian Agent announced with a loud voice from whom the petition came. lle made the alliontoren:ent twice, it is said, without exciting the attention of any body. The third time, the Sultan cast a contemptuous look at him, caused the paper to be taken from him Icy an officer, and went on. On the same day a refusal, couched in very harsh terms, was given.
