Last night. between the boors of Il and 12 'cluck, an alarm that turned out to have been a false one occasioned a strong party of the police being Pent out to scour the country for some way below Clare, however, they found all quiet. Lord MomitCharles accompanied the party. The duty on the police stationed through the comity, •t this time, is exceedingly severe. They are on patrol every night, and retire to their quasi ters only upon the appearance of day. 'Phis ex tensive patrol of a most active and vigilant body of men, in almost every corner of the county, insures us perfect safety, and their perfect knowledge of the country makes assurance doubly sure. Detachinenes of the Clare staff are stationed at Newmarket, Caliiragarrir, D'Esterre's Bridge, and Clare. The Ennis yronisory, now on permanent pay, share the duty of the town with the 93d sod the police; ponies are on patrol every night in this neighbourhood. The Lnrd Lieutenant has been pleased to order the remainder of the Ross. Castle corps of yeo manry to be rut on permanent duty. The strength of the corps now on service is, one Captain, two Lieutenants, three Serjeanto, one drummer, and seventy 'silk sad file. The provincial Papers manifest the great appre bensions that are entertained throughout the country. from the very general and incessant rainy.

MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.— As the KING will open the Pat liniment in person, the most extensive arrangements are forking by the Lord Great Cham berlain, Lord GWYDYS, Sur the Royal reception, on his MAJESTY'S first oppeuronce before the POI. !lament after the Coronation ; sod contrary to what loss taken place for some years past, they will be under his Lordship's sole control. The Lord Great Chamberlain, by virtue of his office, has the go vernment of the whole Pastime of Westminster, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, the Yeo- • man Usher. and Door Keepers, bring under his • Loidslop's command. From this control not having been heretofore strictly enforced, considerable confu sion bus, at times, ari,en in the admission of vi►itors to liar old House of Lords, the Painted Chamber, • and other places through which his MAJESTY has to pass. Various individuals had issued tickets, or had been instrumental in procuring the admission of spectators; but at the approaching opening of Par liament, none but the Lord Great Chamberlain's tickets will be suffered to gain an entrance for visi tors. A ticket and seal are preparing for the ex peso purpose; amid the issue of tickets will be no the most liberal scale, es far as the saute shall be consistent with the dignity sod comfort of the pro. ttedings Go that day. Yedetitiddy a Cou►t of Proprietors was held. The CHAIRMAN said that he was idstrected the Coast of Directors to declare the ditidend fu, the half year tiring 6th Jemmy, which would be fire slid one-fourth per cent. Mr. Rim said that this was always passed ever as a motion of course, though it was a Matter of very grave importance to the Company gene , rally. After the Act which directed that they should divide 101. 10s. upon their whole stuck an neatly, it was hardly to be expected that any thing less should be propsord to them. He did trot swish however, to break in upon the general order, though he thought that it was the duty of the Directors to make a survey of the uccoutos and all the affairs of the Company, before they proceeded IA declare whist Ina TO be tt* aniouut of the diaidee4 as for any thing they might know the concerns. of the Company would warrant the declaration of a large dividend. fie now demanded on behalf of the Proprietors a statement shelving the profits made by the Company in the course of the last year. A short pause ensued. The CHAIRMAN said, as the motion was not seconded he must go to the original question. At the same time lie suggested the great inconve nience to which such a motion as that for producing the accounts, so irregularly introduced, must lend. Mr. S. DIXON doubted the right of any member to call for the accounts of the Company at a nio tnent's warning. Ile tioderstood that there must be specific notice given of a motion fur that purpose. Mr. HUMS believed that all the accounts of the Company were isivesttgated by the Directors lodine they declared the dividend. The CHAIRMAN raid, "Certainly." Mr. Hums said, that the Member who wished for information must, by the practice of the Court, give notice of a motion fur that purpose. At the same time he had been led to believe, that the profits on the China trade alone its the last year would have allowed of a larger dividend than that which had been declared. The motion for agreeing with the Resolution of the Court of Directors to the dividend was thou pat and carried. DR. GILCHRIRT. The Resolution of the la►t Court for allowing Dr. Gilchrist the sum of 200/. per annum for three years, for teaching the cadets sad Company's ser. vests going to India the Hsnde►tau and Bengal tongue., and 1501. per amount fur a lecture:room in which to teach the void language., was then sub mitted. M►. RANDAL JACKSON moved, es so amend ment, to insert the wordy, late - Oriental Prufes- . sor in the College of Fort William, 'leapt, and now Hindostaisee Lecturer, London." lie also objected to stipulating the term of three years fur the duration of the grant, and thereby holding the worthy Doctor as it were upon his good behaviour. He expatiated on the merriurious services of the Doctor, and the strong t►stimonials of them which hat been remitted from tine resident Government. He said, that by confining the grain in the Hee°. lotion to three )ears, it would prevent the Doctor from ultimately deriving the heittfits of superan nuation, to which any other servant of the Com pany could, by ►uficient iirrio.l of service, mike out a good title. He moved fur the omis►ion of the words " three yews." The CHAIRMAN ►still, that there was an invincible olutscle to the last aineioduieio. It went In int retire of the grunt, which was expreerly flabscldris by the By-Lawn, except on the deliberation of two meet loge, and after due notice hail fur each. Mr. R. JacKson thought the amendment rather operated as a diminution of the grant, which, as the Resolution stood, must he paid fur three year% route qui coot. He deprecated the idea of holding so useful and intelligent a person as Dr. Gilchrist to his good behaviou►, and leaving him at the end of the period named in the Resolution in danger of bring sent to starve. He contended that the amend ment, while it would tend more to the hosiour and security of the Doctor, in effect ►educed the imme diate grant, by lowering it from a 'mlaise to a con ditional sum. The CHAIRMAN said that the last amendment must be abandoned, being contra.) , to the By- LiMP• Mr. TWINING asked, in that case, if the first amendment could be admitted ? The CUAIRMAN soil " Yes ;" for that amend ment was merely an affair of words. Though he observed that g.tat inconvenience would arise by the admission of any new titles among the servants of the Company. The title in the amendment had been first ul all given to the Doctor by the Mar quis Wellesley, and yet it teas not all o w e d by she Company, though recommended by the Noble Lord a bile in India. Alr. Rutin raid, that it Will a matter of very little importance. The title was, as it regarded the ehe rav and tulento of Dr. Gilchrist, cos es preeterea ethEl. His great services, his zeal for the interests of the Company, his aceumplishmeros as an Oriental teacher, and his ansiety to diffuse time useful knowledge among those who were going out to Judie, were his real and hest titles of dtstinetion. Ile then enumerated the emoluments %hick Dr. thlcksist derived from all his allowances, those of the Revolution included, and shewed that they carte less than the Doctor might have claimed had he retired after a due period of service on the pro idols of an Oriental Professor. He expatiated on the laudable forbearance of Dr. Gilchrist in de clining to take fees, to which the ►ales of the ser vice entitled him, bons the young Scotch surgeons to whom he taught the Indian languages. Having himself entered the service as a Scotch surgeou coder ►ery restricted circamstaucev, and retaining au honourable sympathy foe all wt. were similarly circutustauced, heitad in this matter exercised a de - . ~• -a co t Um t , 7hittiv , 41 11° 7 '!.. rie that thr et ilet b . I.6l"l t* l Nat uke-or Earl. ta• th.o , b a Mao Mr. Hume aside that there Irma Mr.Shultilll • Peotiooed in the accounts, who was there styled rofessor of Oriental Langsages to Addivanobe College. After a few more Sbservations. the motion, stilt the amendment added, was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN sated, that in courrequenee of hut had transpired upon the subject of Dr. Gil christ, and the teaching of the languages at the last Court, the Directors had found it neressary to look farther into the subject, and had accordingly direct ed an inquiry to be made at Addiscombe arid Hade bury seminaries, to know in what particulars the method of teaching in thine schools differed (for a very material difference had been alleged to ditto) from the methods and languages taught at the Cal cutta College. A Report had been received from those Seminaries, which would now be rend to the Court. The Report was then read, which described the languages usually taught in these school., and the manner of teaching them ; from whence it was also inferred, that no material difference did exit between the English schools and the College of Calcutta. Mr. thug moved that the Report should be printed. Mr. R. JACKSON criticised the averments of the Report, and remarked on the great difference that existed between them and the observations of a great many of the ablest persons who bad turned tl cur attention to the subject, including the Marquis of . !lasting.. He would move, as an accompationrot for this Report— " Fur the production of all the Iteports from the Oriental Professors in the Colleges of India, "'hewing the number of Pupils seta nut from England and admitted into the Col.' legs*, for the purpose of studying the Oriental Languapis, distiamsishiisg those seed from the Addiseombe and Haile. bury Saguia's-les; sod also the several degrees of peofieiency among the various Pupils, from the year 1816." The CHAIRMAH thought it necessary to give some explanation as to the reasons which had led to the prodoctiou of the Report before the Cone. From what had transpired on the subject of the, grant to Dr. Gilchrist at the last Court, it w o uld have induced a belief that tl.e Directors stud all . those under them were to the last degree negligent of their duty stud the interests of the service, as far 'as regarded the maisageatent of the Colleges, and 'that Dr. Gilchrist alone !hewed any thing like a dee and proper attention to the advancement of those parts of education in tasters literature which only could be considered of any importance in trim acting the business of the Company. They haft,' therefore, caused a series of inquiries to be put to the professors and masters of the seminaries, whose Report in answer thereto seemed to prove that the friends of Dr. Gilchrist were anxious to elevate hint by steps which the facts of the case would nut alto gether warrant. A discussion then arose on the comparative pre inlay and usefulness of the officers of the Com pany, learning the various branches of the Eastern languages. It was coutetided by some, that the I (inclusion and Bellal languages dere most useful. One. of the members undertook to say that tl.e Iliudastau was comparatively useless, and he pre ferred the Persian. Another had accomplished himself in both the Persian and Hiudortan, and was then sent into the upper part of some province whets the natives spoke the Malay only. On one side it was conterided and the Sanscrit nu a dead and utterly obsolete larigusge, while another aver red, that, like the /lava FraNca, dif f used through out the Mediterranean, it was a language of vulgar but almost general intercourse ; besides which, it was said to be the key and source of all the Orin tal languages severally. • Mr. Hume 'eft] red to document* that had fur - a !mg time before the Court, especiallPit ctanalunications made by Lord Minns and the Matto quis of Hastings, in *lnuit these Noblemen bud de. piecated the attschinefit of the studies of the Com pany's servants in the Colleges to the Sanscrit, in stead of the Persian, Hindoston, and Bengal—one of them observing, that ' until our generation the Sanstrit could scarcely be considered as au extstiug language ;" the other declared it to be " almost un inipenttrable mystery," and yet this was yaw derciibed as a language of general intercoms,. The CHAIRMAN thought Mr. Jackson would have no objection to amend his motion so as not to take in the least favourable year for the beginning of the statement which he sought. He thought that the motion ought rather to cotnpri.e all the Reports made on the subject in question since tl.e fuutidation of the Colleges in India. Mr. R. Jacitsoo said, that tie Chairman had only duce justice to his c..ndour in supposing that it was not his intention to select the least favuut able year. He was nut rurieed aware that the year 1816 was less favourable than any other when i e made the motion. Some further discussion ensued, after which the Repot t was ordered to be printed. The Reports moved for by Mr. R. JACKSOv were, after altering the terms of the motion La suggested by the Chriearair, ordered. GRANT OF £2,000 TO MR. TELLY.
