Mr. It. Jacsuox rose, and inqnired whether say of the Directors had any information as to the p r bable period of the departure of the Marquess of Hastings from Calcutta ? The CHAIRMAN said there Wig DO Official informa-' tion on the subject. Mr. R. JACKSON Said it had been understood that) the Marquess of Hastings would stay till the arrival, of his successor. If that were so, and it were within the range of possibility that he tonitl be Invited to continue the government, he (Mr. Jackson) was quite sure be spoke the sense of every Proprietor when ha said that snch an event would be the most desirable thing that could happen for the honour and interest of the Company. .Should i be too late for such an opportunity, then the proud honour 'mild revert to the Court of Directors to appoint another Governor- General of India. Ile hall no reason from the last appointment to anticipate any thing hot egtproba tion. If the Right lion. Gentleman bask . gone. no doubt he would bare acquitted Maisel( to 'the ma detraction of every one. He hoped that RiAlst Hon. Gentleman would be still usersl to his essantry in another situation. Ile would not repeat the sentimen a which he cap d oa a former occasion, that the Cour!, in the appointment of a Governor General, would listen to no suggestions but those arising from the iefinence of talent and character. and if possible the otject of their choice should also powss a com petent hoots ledge of the affairs of India. lie trusted that when they should again Inert, it would he found that tin ir Directors acted up to that resolution.-- The thoice of a person to preside over the went of their vast terrirori.a in the Rest Indies, should not depend on any regulations that might become necessary is the affairs at home. De hoped he should he excused by the Directors, as one of their constimots, for having said so much on subjects so very important. Mr. LownDee congratulated the Court on the Right lion. Gentleman who was appointed G General not betting sailed, as he was assured there was no man more competeat to fill the situalen of a late unfortunate Noblrm.n than that Right lion. Gentleman. it was a fortunate circumstance that' that Right lion. Gentleman had aot sailed, for the event, which anformna'ely took place would render it nary to have him recalled. Ile was sorry any people could he found so wicked, as to rejoice at the fate of the Right lion. Grotlemaa's predecessor in. office, end yet be understood it was a subject of souse rejoicings in some parts of Europe. Mr. Coaxstette again brought under the notice of the Court the hard situation in which officers of their ships were placed, who in maintaining due discipline sad subordination were exposed to actions it la* when they arrived in this estuntry„'and tihw 'My ob tained verdicts I. their favour were enable to get re paid their costs. He thought in such cases the Com pany should reimburse them, and instanced the cast. of Captain Youngliusband, as one of peculiar bald ship. He did not then mean to discuss the subject, bat be would surest the propriety of recording a no tice of it in order that it might he brought before them, and fully discussed on the next g• neral Court day. Ile would be glad to hear the opinion of the learned Gentleman (Mr. R. Jackson) on the subject. Mr. R. JACKSON said he would wish to assist his brother Proprietor, but he doubted the pos-ibility of laying down any g 1 rule on the subject. lie could not agree that tan in the service of the Company, when out of pocket by law proceedings, should be at lithely to apply to the Company's trea sury. 1 . 4 e CHAIRMAN suggested the propriety of an ap plication to the Court of Directors, on the part of the individual alluded to. It would he inconvenient to agitate such a question at that Meeting. If the case were laid before the Directors, it should be attended to. Ile wished, however, not to be considered as pledging himself for a forourabie result. It should be remembered the Company were proprietors only of the care" whilst others were frequently proprietors of the ship. All he could undertake to say was, that the case would be considered dispassionately if laid before the Directors. With respect to the subject mentioned by the Learned Gentleman (Mr. Jackson), the Court were fully aware of the importance of the duty imposed open thew. In reply to a question of Mr. Trent, _ _ _ The!AIRMAN said that from mation, it would appear that Lord Hastings was anx ious to return to this country Do account of the situa tion of his own family. They had now to look oat for a competent successor, and he hoped no more would be said of Lord Hastings, who, every one agreed, was a great man, whose departure from India would be a great toss to that country. The Court adjourned at one o'clock. from his beloved subjects in the city as pri►ately as possible. In the opinions of Alderman Waltham's. Alderman Wouo seemed to coincide.
