' • • • • • • BAST Isnr.t novsg. • Yesterday a Coen of Proprievors 'was held at the India House, for the purpose of taking into con sideration the further proceedings of the Court of I) redors, on the Plan for forming an Institution, or C•rllege, for the Education of Young Mew iassailed for the Civil Service of the Company in India. Tile CHAIRMAN (C. GRANT, Esq.) rose, sod ob served to the Court of Proprietors, that, previous to their proceeding to the business of the day, be aisle ed to submit to their attention the titles of several very important papers and letters which the Direc tors had furnished copies of to the House of Com mons, in pursuance of the Orders of that Hon. llouse, relative to tire conduit and proceedings of the Marquis Wellesley, as Governor General of India, which he begged the Court would hear read. Th.. , Clerk then read the titles of a long string of letters and papers, with their particular dates, places, and to And trom whom addressed ; which having finished; Mr. RAND ALL JACKSON expressed his wish to be, that these papers, when printed, which he under stood they were to be, would Lie accessible to the whole Court of Proprietors, so that arch of them as were desirous to make themselves masters of the question might be enabled to do so. He had no doubt, he said, but the matter would ultimately come under the discussion of that Cook and rt would be necessary all those who are inclined to agree in opinion with those charges which are - said to be intended to be preferred against the Noble Marquis, as well as those who think most favour ably of his cunduB, should respeaively have free admission to those papers, from which alone they could derive any real and authentic information on a subjea of such immense importance. The CH Al are AN / in answer to this, observed, that a very considerable part of the papers which had just been read, were till very lately in the sole pos session of the Secret Department ; but that having now been called for by the House of Commons, and, as he understood, ordered to be printed; the Court of Diredlors, so far from having any objection to their being submitted to the perusal and considera tion of the Proprietors,would do every thing in theimi power to facilitate their possession of information, so highly important to their general interests. COLLEGE AT MATFORD. The CisAi M m then rose, and requested to call the attention of the Proprietors to the business fur which they were particularly summoned to meet that day. He observed, that it would not be ne cessary for him to detain them by entering into the soup:a with any argumenu, or particular statements, as this was only a preliminary step, and it would require another Court to be held to give it a further consideration. Clerk then proceeded to read the Plan on which this new Institution, er College, is to be ersa ed and cat, ied on,which consisted of twenty or thirty long pages, and took upwards of half an hour in the reading. The following short heads tvi . .l, how ever, serve to give an understanding of what passed upon the subjeO : The original plan seems to have Lean, that the College be formed under one root, and he cons' as one institution, or seminary ; but, on more mature consideration, it appears to have been suggested, that the learning of the languages and those other parts of education adapted to juvenile yew, would require a different sort of treatment and discipline to that which would be necessary for those of riper years, engaged in the more sublime study of the sciences, and, therefore, the present' plan proposes that the institution should be divided into two establishments ; a preparatory school and a college ; that there should be a principal, six pro fessors ; a French -master, writing -master, and drawing-master. That, in order to obtain men of the must eminent abilities in their several stations, the principal should receive a stipend of 10001. is year, a house in the College, and reasonable fire and candle ; the professors to have 5001. a year, each, a house in the College, or, in lieu thereof, house-rem equivalent thereto, and reasonable fire and caadleir the French-master and drawing-master to be paid individually according to the numbers under their tuition, at stated prices. This institution not to be wholly at the expenee of the East India Company, ' but the sons of individuals from any part of the coun try to be allowed to enter the seminary, paying one hundred guineas a year. The number not to el. ceed 40 the first year, 80 the second, and Ito the third year. The Clerk then read the following resolution for the consideration and approbation of the Court of Proprietors : That this Coen, refer' ing to On neinliition or the Court of Directors, of the Seth, aryl to its tepees of the seheogeent Court i de approve the plea ;impend. Int the erectieg ea con ducting the said institution wr ceilege." Mr. RANDALL JACKSON rose, and said, that &Oh the universal support and encouragement he had experienced at the last Court, which was one of the fullest that had ever been congaed together on any subje&. when he took the liberty of giving his sen• timents at great length in favour of this institution he would not then detain them by entering again. upon it. but would content himself with °Ening to the Court a few observations, declaratory of his nion on the intended alteration of the original' plan. He approved entirely of the division of the: Institution into two establi.hments, and thought, as' it was intended to admit youths of very tender age " into the preparatory school, the word Initiatory School would rather be better adapted to it than that of Preparatory ; that was, however, for future cnnsideration; and, as is was not the intention of the Company to make this Institution entirely theirown, but to take pupils coming. Irons other schools, pro vided the Grutlenieu who open those schools, how ? , ever near to the College, will educate their pupils is the same manner, sitteieel them to the same disci. plisse, and make them conformahle to the same rules and regulations, and that th-y should be equal ly enticed to the patronage of the Company He was appre h ensive some use might (pen a school as near as possible to the College, and, after a time, stand on his own ground, and refuge to submit to their regulations ; he would, therefore, wish ratbet that this Initiatory or Incipient Institution should be altogether their own. There was another point which struck his mind as v.ry imp.ntant, and that was the time allowed for the cnnti:itinnee of the pu pils in the Initiatory or Preparatory School; be thought that two years were too sh..rt a period, as in that Seminary it was, the foundation was to Ise laid fur reaping effectually the various ittiportant advan tages naturally expelled to be derived from the higher and more extensive branches of knowledge taught iii the College. Three years would not, in bisopinion, be too much for gaining the knowledge and education of the Preparatory School by those ' coming from Koardir.g Schools or other Seminaries, to pass through it in their way to the College, and there was an exception that would wonder fully aid it, which was, that those vele., have been three years at the early school, should only he okig,d to stay at the College two years. By these means. dime who come frosts the early or preparatory school, will have the advantage of being thoroughly grounded in all the leading branches of le lining, in which they are to be perfeded in the College, and will thereby be enabled more effedually and more spee dily to complete the top stone of this splendid and magnificent literary stria lure. This, lie said, was no wild theory of his own, but could be exemplified in the strongest manner, by adverting to the mode pursued, and the system adopted, in the case of the Gentlemen of the law. They were obliged to keep twelve or thirteen terms, and to have a five years residence in one of the Inns of Court ; now, in order to add to the weight and respectability of the profession, and to give it the advantages of moral charader and superior conneCtion, it was allowed that biting three years at one of the Universities, and taking out a degree of Donor of Laws, should abate two years of the required residence.. It was, therefore, evident, that this alteration in the plan, which he recommended, was not wanting, either in real example or analogy. Under these circum stances, and the impressions naturally resulting from them, he gave his hearty consent to the pre sent report, and to the institution; and he was in duced to do so from a consciousness and certainty that the Company and the country also would find the Most impostant advantages from the talents audatertions of a band of British yorth well edu cated, not only in the ancient and modern Lin- Mmaght in schools in general, bet in those e e :, language. also which form the grand con nedion between the Company and the numerous native nations of that immense country in which we had formed so extensive a share of dominion and subordinate connedion. These youths, he said, would not only carry out to India the immense stack of talents, well improved and cultivated, to wards embracing, in the first instance, the relative, and mutual interests of the two coun tries ; but they would also carry with them an esta blished charaeter for moral rectitude and appropriate education, suited to the peculiar circumstances and situations of the two countries, which no indivi deals seat promiscuously thither had ever before the advantage of. Under this impression he ~a ve his cordial consent to the Report, notwithstanding the doubts which had been made on a former occa sion by a Learned Gentleman, whom he did not then see in his place, and who, he had no doubt, had changed his opinion on that point from his not being then there. He doubted not in the least that toe Company might proceed on legal grounds ; and, as to the (salience, he eonsiiiered that as trifling indeed, when compared with the advantages that were to result from the plan. /le was well tem vineed they would he able to give to every pupil who came to the Institution an education for 100 guineas a year, which in other places would cost SOO guineas, and as such he was proud to avow himself a warm and steady friend to the plan pro posed. Mr. Hosea wished to knew what was the sum 'lied for the stipends, and what was the sum for dune who were to be admitted pupils in the kali. tp c ion ? at the ,same time he would not, if it was trousidered premature, press the question. Mr. it. TIOORNTON said, the subjed having . been ilksithiend with regard to the sums of admission ofJ =he eoulJ not silently pass it by ; b u t he should any discussion should at the present mo snit arise at to the particular sum. The CHSINVIA/4 said, if the Court of Proprietor. should approve the present resolution, the Diredors would seriously consider the question, as to the quantum of the stipend, and of the admisson of pu pils, and would afterwards submit the same to the consideration of the Court of Proprietors. It. JACKSON said, that at the late discussion, Wore as full a Court as ever was known, the great . 41bjett held cut was the expence to the Company. He thought, therefore, that if the Court of three tors should stow alter the terms of admisson, an 4 thus throw an additional expence on the Company, they would be guilty of something like a breach of faith. Mr. A. Tutourrost (a Director) said, he did not wish to provoke discussion at that moment, but lie could not avoid saying, in answer to what had fallen from the Hon. Proprietor who spoke last, that, if the Court of Directors should take upon them to alter the amount of the sum mentioned on a former occasion, as the ii/tisvitain of the expence of the Institution. that such alteration would amount to a breach of Was. He thought, on the contrary, such alterations might be made oa the direr contrary principle. The Hon. Proprietor had said, that al terations ought not to be made without grave and serious reasons. He was certain that without grave and serious reasons, and those adopted on the most Matere ccinsideration, no alterations would be made by the Court of Directors; and hoped, therefore, no mote would at present be said upon the s=. st Mr. Want said, this was a matter of the importance; and, he thought, a very cocsideenkle discretionary power ought to be vested in the Caen of Direelors, who were to give the measure afire. Mr. R. JACILSON, in explanation, said, t h e grand principle df the Lit very full Court was, that the Institution sholild not be encouraged beyond a cer tain probable sum of expence. die thought, there fon, that if any alteration was moue in that, by a thin Court held in the summer, he would not call it by the harsh term of a breach of faith, but he thought it Would not be treating the Court of Pro prietors with a proper degree of candour. • Sir F. BASING said, in allusion to the expences, that in making obt an estimate. the Directors had computed the Matter as nearly as they could. fhe Hon. Proprietor should, however, consider the sub je,!) iit tote; 'and, on a dispassionate consideration. say, whether the advantages are not more than adequate to the additional expence. Mr. Et eatestosa (:he late Chairman) sup. • emici tLe tipi..ion of Mr. Jack-on, and express! declared, that if the Court of Diredots admitted any pupils for less than 100 guineas a-year, the institution would crumble away in two or three yearn. The CHAIRMAN said, that nothing had been done by the Direaors, without the most mature consider ation, and if alterations were not necessary, none would bz made. He approved of some of Mr. Jackson's ideas respeding the institution, and parti cularly that relating to the time of pupils continuing in the preparatot y school. As to the expense, he had no kind of apprehension on that accouot ; for, netting aside that of the buildings, he had no doubt but it would soon be a matter of yearly teceipt to the Company, instead of expenditure. The Resolution was then put to the question, and agreed to ner:. ro.s. Another General Court seas appointed this day week, to take the said Report into further consider ation. PROPERTY TAX. Some time after the above business was dis posed of— The CHAIRMAN rose, and observed to the Pro prietors, he had been given to understand that either some mistake had been made, or that some misconception had gone abroad as to the Court of Direffors having consented to the stoppage of the I I per Cent. on the Dividends on the Property Tax. He begged (rave, ther.fore, to state shortly the rea sons on which the Dire tors had ailed. The last AR was to take effed on the sth of April as to the 11 per Cent. ; the first Ad, which imposed 5 per Cent, on Property, was to take place on the sth of April, but did not take place till the 12th of June following. The Government said the one Aft was to be regulated by the other, and if they now con tested the last. they would be liable to the first, which, to establish the saving of 11, would subjed them to the payment of S per Cent. for the same period. if a peace should take place in Italy, the Company would have the same advantage, for they would not pay longer than to the sth of April. Mr. R Jacitsom said, the Proprietors had never in any instance wished to shrink from the payment of their full quota; bnt they could not feel otherwise than disgusted that the money should be stopped from them. It was a disgraceful and degrading idea, and he knew of no law in this country that could warrant and support it. The CHAIRMAN said, that nothing bad been left undone by the Court of Diredors to bring this mat ter to a proper bearing. If it was the wish of the Proprietors to see the letters which had passed on the subjed, they might have them, and they would thereby see the troth and fart of what be had stated. The Court then adjourned to this day sennight. His Majesty having appointed the Honourable Gsoacic Koos to be of His MAJESTY'S Most Ho nourable Pt ivy Council of Ireland; he on nicht) , last in Council took the usual oaths, and his place at the Board accordingly. A letter from Weymouth, dated July 11, says— ,4 The camp near this place is in a great state of forwardness, and bids fair to steel, as Stigalen. General MEADE, who commands here at present.. is extremely attentive. The regiments already en camped are the 21st, 31st, or Young Buffs, and the 35th • the Ist Somerset, the North York, and the Ist Royal Lancashire Militia. The 15th Light Dragoons began to encamp yesterday. The weather is flue, the men in health and spirits, and in a high state of discipline. The 31st is nearly a thousand strong, and as fine a body of men as any in the ser vice. Many other regiments are daily expeded in." Yesterday Five of the Members belonging to the Somerset House Volunteer Corps were sum moned before NicHanas Boma, Esq. the Sitting Magistrate, at the Public Offize, Bow -street. by di. recision of Sir ANDALW SHAPE HAMSIOIIIO, the Co lonel, for refusing to pay their fines for non-attend ance at drills. Mr. Priers r.y, the Secretary to the Corps, attended, produced the Muster Roll, and proved their nomattendancz, when four of them were fined in the penalty of eight shillings each. and one in four shillings, with costs. The Royal Lanark Militia marched into Canter bury on Monday morning from Ospringe barracks, where they are to remain for further orders. On the same day and Tuesday, the Kau Kent Militia marched from Faversham harrackn, in two divisions, on their route fur Chelmsford ; their ultimate desti nation is said to be the North. The Northumber land Militia are to replace the above at Faversham, and are ea; "Fled to arrive there about the 16th or 7th inst. Major General THorestom removes from Ashford, to take the command of the troops at Fa- versham and Ospringe. Yesterday two young blood horses, in a auricle. belonging to Mr. BRA Lev. ran away from Port man-square, to the bottom of Park-street. and was literally dashed to pieces against the Duchess cf Dr.vorisatiat's carriage, that was stairdinig at Lnd MOKIETtei door.
