Ireeprietor to state whether the Court of Directors bad not taken an 00 on the question relating to the transactions between the al Government and the house of William Palmer and Co., . T g i he te t no hesitation in answering that question in the affirmative. Undoubtedly the Court of Directors had taken the opinion of Carmel upon the question ; and it was not for him, but for the Caere of Proprietors, to say whether those papers ahouhl or should Let be produced. Mr. RaeoLt Jeexsoar asked whether the papers alluded to were those which had already been printed, or whether they were ether papers, which had not been called for when the Hydera bad papers were ordered to be laid before the Court? The rIOPRIET On who first spoke replied, that they were other weer, and not included in those ordered to be printed. Mr. Hume said, there seemed to be some difficulty in this case. lie understood the gentleman who last addressed the Court, to akin& to an opinion respecting the conduct of Mr. Adam ; now if the conduct of that get:demi:tit was intended to be discussed, he stien . should agree that that opinion, sod the papers connected with it. ought to be produced ; but he understood :his present Court was sailed SOW • requisition, which distinctly referred to the conduct of the Marquis if Hastings alone, and that, therefore, the opinions of which the Hon. Proprietor spoke could not be required. The Cllalltatalt said, that the opinions were rut printed, nor 0 d they form part of the papers ordered to be laid before the Court, arid therefore they need not be called for. The Hon. 3). Kix ISAIRD then rose and said, that he was sure tae apology would be required by the gentleman opposite, if lie I Mr. Kinnaird) did not take any notice of the observations which hid fallen front him ; for he, io good faith and :sincerity of word, did not know whet was meant by that gentleman, nor did he or.. Jerstand what were the documents he alluded to. It was in the knowledge of this Court, that about eleven months ago it was or dered that certain papers relating to transactions which had taken plate between the Bengal Government and the house cf William Palmer and Co. and of the conduct of that firm, should be printed, to clear up certain doubts in his and other proprietors' minds, with rethrence to the administration of the Marquis of Hastings. On a further amendment, other papers were called• for regarding that Noble Marquis, and which were also ordered to be printed. The relletsition now before the Court regarded those transactions which effected the conduct and character of the Marquis of Hastings alone, and he (Mr. Kisnaird) would briefly state his reasons why the question should be confined and narrowed to that particular point, rather than that the Court should go over the whole extent of a long and arduous administration of between eight and Line Yee* Certain rumours had gone abroad tending to impeach the Lharieter of that noble person, whose administration embraced this period ; his name had been connected with transactions that were said to compromise his honour end dignity as Governor-General of Itidia. It was to contradict, it possible ' these rumours, and to erertein that the confidence of the East India Company was nut reposed in, nor their bounty given away to a person whe, by his conduct, had proved himitelf unworthy of both. Feeling as he (Mr. Kinnaird) did, that the character of that noble individual was of the highest kind, both for integrity and honour, and so dear to us - was it, even as men as well as proprietors, that die truals or falsehood of those rumours should be ascertained, that it was not au his opinion any misuse of the time of the Court to enter into mi.inquiry for that purpose. Eleven months had elapsed since those rumours had gone abroad, bat be did not out of any regard to that lords Ingtvidual, whose character was implicated, precipitate this trier', in order that it should not be said that any vote had been to on the question by surprise ; he rather suffered the feelings , cr the Noble Marquis to be kept on the rack during that protract. eipariod, than that it should he objected against him (Mr. Kin. hard),and those who were anxious olvindicate that Nobleman's cha racter, that any. precipitation had been used to gain a decision of the LlCourt before the fullest inquiry had been made into the grounds of those rumours. He hoped it would not be said that he and the other gentlemen, who acted with him, had hurried this matter. In making the motion which he was about to do, he begged to say that be had no speech to make, for he understood that the papers 'bleb had been printed were fully sufficient to enable the lion. Proprietors to form their opinions as to the vote they should give, and he took it for granted that those papers had been perused by all toe gendemen who attended this Court ; it would be needless, three, for him to occupy their time in urging reasons in sup port of the Resolution he was about to submit to them. The lion. Gentleman then moved a Resolution to the following effect : " That the; Honourable Court having perused the papers ordered to be printed and laid before it at a Court held on the 3d of March lot t, /tiering to certain pecuniary transactions with the house of Messrs. William Palmer and Co., at Hydrabact, is of opinion that there tagcohing contained therein which tends to affect, in the slightest degree, the personal honour and integrity of the late Governor-lien. of 'lndia, the Most Noble the :Marquis or Hastings." Bethought 1.:-..e papers before the Court bore out this proposition, and contain ed so fall and distinct a confirmation of this truth, that there could :2414.....G but one opinion entertained by the Court as to the propriety el ,Lis motion being unanimously adopted." An Honourable Proprietor, whose name we could not learn, soccoded the motion. The Haraamax said that he begged to express his satisfaction at. matinee in which this motion had been brought forward ; and it he could not agree thereto, he hoped the Court would give him cre4it foe entertaining no feeling of disrespect towards the Noble Marquis, nor the slightest wish to impute to hint conduct, that enell in any degree regect upon his personal integrity and honour. ifort When he (the Carman) considered the whole of the circum stances detailed in the voluminous papeni laid before the Court, he certainly enuld not go to the extent of the Honourable Gentleman's motion. He thought that the words of the motion were too large to retard to the conduct of the Bengal Government with the house of PAbller sad Co. at Hyderabad, and he really thought that it Gould not be said that the personal character of the Marquis was acsimpliotted in those transactions, regarding him as the servant of the East India Company. lie (the Chairmaqthought that be had oompromitted his character as Governor of Hyderabad, in those Fernier,' transactions, but he 'the Chairman) would acquit the Noble Marquis of all corrupt motive ; this was tar from being his s.pininn, and die amendment which he should, by the courtesy of use Court, beg leave to move, would be expressive of his sentiment lo that respect. The Coon of Direr trs had had an irksome, a pain ful, and a laborimis dirty es pereem ; they bad laboured through many voluminous papas, and had sought with unwearied di'li. gene to place these things before :he Proprietors in their true HAL W• 3 it to be supposed that the Directors would have done ad this voluntarily, or that they bad been actuated to do it from au smfriendly feeling towards the Noble Marquis ? Certainly not. at was imposed upon them by their situation ; they were called u non it by a sense of unperiotts duty to the Company, whose affairs were entrusted to them : nay, they owed it to themselves, for if the conduct of the Noble Marquis was unimpeachable, then that of toe Directors n.usit have been wrong ; and the character of those Looomalde individuals who thrilled the Court of Directors were as important to the East India Company as that of the Marquis of Beatings himself. He (the C airman) had not been their servant to • period of 26 years, without feeling that he had a right to call upon the Hem Pr the etare f its judgment upon his character. arc. poison as was the character of the Marquis of Hastings, there were other partici besides him whose feelings were to be regarded, ant whose honour was to lie considered. He felt that it was due to ham, end the Court of Directors, that this Court should take into ea:riders ion the despatches that were made or those Directors in tceatequence of t to commuoications received by them from their Goremot-General. relative to the tramactions with the House of Perm* and Co. He should therefore beg leave to move as an soar:Omani that all the words io the original motion after the word " That" b 3 struck out, and that the following be inserted in stead :—" That this Honourable Court having perused the, rapers laid-imam it relative to certain pecuniary transactions with the Loose of Maar& William Palmer and Go of Hyderobad, is of merlon that them le no ground for imputing corrupt motives to she-Ue4 Noble the Marquis of Hastings, late tinvernot.Generel ot Intim, nor to any Otitl. Member of die Bengal Government; but.se the Arne. time It feels itself called upon to express its Pp. proud of .he sfveral despatches to India, made by the finnourabie Colin of lorectors, on the kith May 11124. the Vitth November jut, 9 h April 11112, and It st January let." SO fisonos Roairsow seconded the motion. He said, that wbeelhese papers ware citilad for, the object wax expressed to be, to enable tsar ikourt to judge of the propriety of making a further reeetureauon to the tab Governor General of ladta, for his ste rling...kir Ooreroar. This was akin exposes abject for which the papers were laid before the Court, and he did not think that the Court would do nen unless the whole matter was inquired into regarding those rumours which had gone abroad affecting the cha racter of the Noble Marquis. No person 'agreed more cordially with the Honourable Gentleman, the mover of the original motion, than he (Sir George) did, that the Marquis of Hosting, was quite .clear of all corrupt motive in the transactions with Messrs. Palmer and Co. at Hyderabad. Nu wan alive held his Lordship's charac ter for integrity lonher than he did, but having been placed in that situation which accidentally brought these matters to his ,notice, he had prosecuted the i. ouiry into their nature with the greatest assiduite, sad he should he wanting to that character which be felt it necessary to support, if he did not distinctly declare that he • saw in these proseedings a departure foot these sound principles of government, and a departure from those wise rules of policy which he had always considered to be essential to the troll interests of the Company's possessions in India, and he therefore thought that it required an opinion of the Court of Proprietors upon the conduct, not only of the alanotin of Battings, but of the Court Of Directors, in this transastion during the last fire years. It was upon this ground that he seconded the amendment. Mr. Jonw said, he felt great embarrasement in oppos ing the amendment which had been moved by their Hon. Chair. man, because there was nothing which came from that Chair but what deserved tae greatest respect: but, in fairness and in candor, he could not see how he could agree with the amendment. He had Immured through the papers before the Court, and he could not but feel that the character of the Marquis of Hastings was fully exonerated from all imputation of participating in the proceedings to which those papers related. lie had always thought, and would %till declare that the negociations carried on with the native Princes of India, was the original sin of the Government in that country. But how did the consideration of these matters affect the present question before the Court ? Here was a Nobleman of the first mi limey talents, aided by officers also of great talent and experience, who had accomplished more tot the interests of this country than any Governor-Genera) that had ever preceded him, endeavoured to be connected with transactions that were said to have transpired with the house of Palmer and Co., at Hyderabad, in which his dig nity as Governor was said to be compromised ? But these were not the facts which they were now to inquire into. The question pat to him (NIT. J. Smith) was plainly and simply this 5..-was this noble Marquis a moo of honour and integrity, or was he not? Thus was the question; and he (Mr. J. Smith) must answer it directly, and in a manner that would not admit of doubt; therefore, in agreeing with the amendment which went to tithes matters not relating to the Marquis of Hastings, it would make an impression on the minda of the proprietors that there was something in the question, an 4 in the mode of answering it, which implied a doubt, ail that there was some degree of suspicion mingled with it. He (Mr. J. Smith) did not mean to say, that there might not have been something in the conduct of the noble Marquis, which it could be wished had not occurred; he might regret a want of discretion on the part of that noble person, but if the question were put to him, aye or no, was the Marquis of Hastings a man of integrity and honour I—had he tainted that character. for high and unsullied reputation and pure principle for which he had ever been regarded ? he (Mr. J.Smith) would say, that he could see nothing in the whole of the voluminous papers that were before the Court, to enable him to say that the noble Marquis had done any thing to justify such an opinion. He (Mr. Smith) bitterly !regretted that, on this occasion, he could not do that which he, tn. tormer occa sions, though not universally, was happy to do—that of agreeing with their honourable Chairman, hut for the reasons he had assign ed, he felt himself called upon to soppoet the original motion. Mr. POYNDER rose to address the Court. A PROPRIETOR rose at the tame time, and said, that if the Court were to enter fully into the question, it would, perhaps, be painful to the feblings of the Noble Marquis, whose conduct was the subject of it: It seemed to be agreed on all hands, that there was nothing io impiach the character of the Noble Marquis, or to impure to him any corrupt motive: the only difficulty appeared to be in expressing that opinion. Mr. POYNDER roan to order, and said he was in possession of the Court. He perfectly agreed with the amendment, but he should not do as the Honourable Gentleman had who brought the motion forward, content himself with merely stating his assent, but he would go further into the question, and give his reasons for agreeing with the amendment that had been moved by. their lion. Chairman. First, then, it should be remembered that the Noble 31aremis had already received from the East India Company— (Order, order.) Mr. TRENT rose to order, and said, the question was not what the Marquis of flutings had received front the Company, but simply as to his character for integrity and honour in certain transactions with the house of Palmer and Cu. at Hydarbad. Mr. POYNDER resumed and repeated his former observation. Mr. R. JACKSON ruse to order, and said, that if either the original motion or the amendment had said one word of pecnniary matters, then the Honourable Proprietor's speech might be in order, but as neither the one nor the other at till alluded to pecuniary remuneration, he considered the Gentleman to be .quite out of order. Mr. POYNDER said, lie should not be put down nor silenced by Hon. Proprietors of that Court, when he felt that be was pur suing a most correct course. He would undertake before he sat down, to connect the present question with the one of pecuniary re muneration to the Marquis of flaotings, and if he did not succeed in this, then let him be put down immediately. The Gentleman then proceeded to comment on the papers that had been printed. He remasked upon certain passages in the letters of the Marquis of Hastings. while Governor-General of India, to the Court of Directors, and winch, he contended, showed, that although no coo. :wept motive existed on the part of the Noble Marquis, there was a degree of favouritism evinced by him towards his connections and friends, which amounted to establishing a monopoly of the po. cuniary transactions of the Government of India, with the house of Paltuet and Company at Hyderabad, to which firm Sir Wm. Rurnbold, who was intimately related by marriage to the Noble Marquis, belonged, although Sir Wm. was at the time an officer of the Last India Company, and therefore not at liberty to be connected with a house of business of that description. The lion. Proprietor also endeavoured to show, that the Marquis of HastMge., if not im mediately concerned in the negociations for the loans which had been obtained from the house of Palmer and Co. at the rate of 18 per cent. being 6 per cent. above the legal interest of that country, he had not exerted himself sufficiently to ascertain whether those loans could not have been procured at a lower rate. It was also represented by the documents, that the 31arquia of Hastings had granted a licence to the house of Palmer and Co. to negotiate loans at a higher rate of interest than the law allowed, and which the Government of India had a power to do ; but that, although he thus acted, he did not communicate this circumstance to the Court of Directors at home for upwards of three years afterwards. 111 r. Poynder then went through the several dispatches of the Court of Directors, male to the Noble Marquis in consequence of his communications, and commented on those passages which he considered to show the sense of the Directors, as to the trans actions which had bent carried on with the House of Palmer and Co. ' under the sanction of the Noble Marquis, as Governor- General. He said that not only was the faith and credit of the Government used in setting up Messrs. Palmer and Co., but he he would undertake that it was also used to bolster up that con cern. He then reed extracts from others of the documents, printed by order of the Court. (In the course of the reading of these extract% the lion. Proprietor was frequently interrupted by other Hon. Proprietors, who said that the Gentleman was entering upon matters which had no relation to the Marquis of Hastings.) The CHAIR maw said, he considered that the Hon. Proprietor wet not out of order. Mr. POYNDER continued. His reason tbr entering thus into detail was, because the motion of the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Kin. naird) did not merely relate to the Marquis of Hastings ; if it had, he should have supported it. But it was intended and calculated to cast odium on others—it threw dirt upot other servants of that Court, who had gone before the Noble Marquis. Mr. KINNAIRD tequuted that his motion might be read, which was read accordingly. The CHAIRMAN then directed the amendment to be read. Mr. POYNDER—IIe put it to the Court whether, in opposirg the motion and supporting the amendment, it was not competeet for him to go into these details. After reading various other ex. tracts from the printed documents, the Hon. Proprietor said he considered, that although no corrupt motive could be assigned to the Noble Marquis, yet there was in these transactions sufficient to show a very strong inclination to favour friends, and to use the power of Government for that purpose. Neither the Noble Mar quis nor his friends had removed all suspicion front his character respecting his conduct in these proceedings. But he (Mr. Powder) would say, that it was not he or his friends who provoked this die cuesion ; he should have been content to let the Marquis alone on the high pedestal on which his friends would place him, decorated with Wawa &ad ribbons, end thin, and honours; it was they who brought forward this question ; but If the Noble Marquis were so perfect and unsullied in his character, what would become of the Directors? for the Court must condemn them if they meant to set up the Marquis as ids friends had called upon them to do. They would do more ; they would brand the Board of Directors with indelible disgrace, if they should allow this motion to succeed. And did the Court think those gentlemen were nobody ? Was Mr. ' Canning nobody ?—Mr. Bathurst and Mr. Wynn nobody If the Directors had been weak enough to have sent out such deeputches as were included in the papers that had been printed, without good grounds, it would have been the duty of Ministers to stop them. But they did not, and he contended this gave an additional sanction to those dispatches. But this was not all; the Court would go much further; they would carry the torch into India, and was it thus they would remunerate their faithful and long-tried servants ? It did not appear to hint (Mr. Poyndcr) that the utattse could rest' here; for if this mminn passed, they must grant an annuity to the Noble Marquis; for these reasons he submittd that it became the Court, in honour to itself, and in protection to their Directors, to poo the esnevdment. Air. flier c 'said, he should not detain the Court, but he could not but ask them to look at the position in which they were placed. Ile agreed with the Holiourable Proprietor who had just addressed the Court, that there were questions connected with these papers which reauired to be investigated* for he did not know, that if Messrs. Palma and Cu. were to come before this Court to ask protection from the injuries they had experienced, how far they might not be able to make out a cue that should entitle them to it. But the motion before the Court was quite distinct front that. A motion was originally mode to grant a remuneration to the Marquis of Has:lags, for his splendid service in ladle. On that ocesoon, certain rumours were circulated that wade it necessary that his friends should Inquire into them before they pressed the applies. tied for a remuneration. His Honourable Friend (Mr. Kinnairtl) accordingly, in the month of March last, moved , for the papers to be laid before the Court relating to the transactions upon which those maxims had been grounded. Thar motion was the mily way to clear away the difficulties then before them. In justice to the Marquis of Hastings, the pirectors were called upon to produce the papers. If there man in this Court who could breath a was single charge against the Noble Marquis, be (Mr. Hume) should is call upon the Coate honourably and properly to give an opinion upon it • and if that charge was made out, or it those papers proved any cha rge against Noble Individual, he (Mr. Hume), would join his censure with that of the Covert, of the conduct of the Noble Marquis. Now what had happened ? The papers were brought forward, sod his Hoc. Friend had acted most fairly in allowing nearly 12 ponths to expire before he renewed or proceeded further wilt his original motion, in order thnt every Propnetor might have an oppor tunity of forming his opinion anon them. The Hon. Ottitleman then proceeded to comment on the course which hid been pursued by Mr. Poynder, and said that the Marquis of Hastings had nothing to do with the establishment of the house of Palmer and Co , and that it was cruel to have thou matters mixed up with his case, which was totally distinct from it. The Hon. Gent. then stated the origin of his house, and showed that the Court of Directors had I sanctioned the conduct of Lord Minto, under whose admi nistration that firm had been established. He then cow. plained of the conduct of the Chairman in moving an amendment. which was beyond the terms of the requisition. The requisition did not embrace any other topic than that of the charge. ter of the Marquis of Hastings. It was neither fair, just, nor manly, in his having thus acted. If such conduct were to be MC tined, there would be no limit to their running wild t fur all were needy enough to take a devious course. There was a want of osesetesy on the part of the Chairman, which he had miser before 'Moused. He had taken the Court by surprise, an had shown the doyen foot in this pmceeding. Ile (Mr. Hume) and his friends bad been accused of seeking to oass by all discussion upon the ,induct of the Marquis of Hastings, and to get the motion assented to without entering into farts. Dot what was the conduct of their Honourable Chairman; the former part of his amendment was couched in similar terms to the miginal motion: but here was the trick—it lied in a few words. After declaring that nothing appeared In these papers to impeach the integrity anti honour of the Marquis of flamingo. it proceeded to say, " or colony member of the Dengal government." Here was the point. It was *most despicable manner of taking an opportunity thus to get an expression of an opinion of men, whose conduct had not been before the Court. If be were to speak his candid and honest opinion. he should say, that the Directors who joined in these desnatehes were afraid that they had gone too far ; they were afraid of the arguments contained in the protest of an Ikon. Director, whom I.e had in his eye, which he entered against some of those despatches. When the time came he (Mr. Hume) should be prepared to give his opinion of those des.. patches, but this Court was not at present called to give an opinion of them. Ile contended, therefore, that these two additions made to the original motion by the amendment, which were unties. stood not to be considered as the act of the Court, but of the mover and seconder, were intended to take the Court by surprise. He would call upon the Court not to give their opinion upon such points as were not included in the requisition. The Hon. Gentle then spoke on the subject of illegal interest, alleged to have been taken by the house of Palmer and Co. from the Bengal Govern. went. He said, that monstrous as such a rate of interest as twelve per cent. would appear to Englishmen, who were accustomed to consider five per cent. as the full amount that the law would sanc tion to be taken, yet it should be remembered that interest was altogether relative, and that what might be exorbitant in one country would be very moderate in another. Now twelve per cent. was the legal rate of interest in India ; but the fact was, that the House of Palmer and Co. had taeen 18 per cent. upon a loan to the Bengal Government; but this was to pay or old debt due to the Government of his Highness the Nizam, for which no less than 24 per cent. was paid. This was the conduct of Palmer and Co., which hod been so mulish the subject of censure.—( Hear, hear, hear.}—lt was quite painful to hear statements made hy men who were ignorant of the custom of that country, by which impressions would be made on the minds of persons who had no opportunities of arriving at the knowledge cf them things. The Honourable Gentleman then proceeded to srgue that this pecuniary negocistion with Palmer and Co. was neeissary to relieve the Bengal Govern ment from the pressure of the interest on ter debt to his highness the Nizam. He also said, that the advances made by tote house of Palmer si d Co. were essential to the proper and regular paying of the native troops. The Honourable Gentleman then adverted to the pensions granted to the Painters, that had been so much com plained of. and said t'-tt they were granted by an independent Prince, in consideration of the eminent services which the father of Mr. William Palmer had rendered to him for a series of 23 years. But all these pensions were given long previous to the establish ment of the house of Painter and Co. The Hon. Gentleman con cluded an able speech by observing it was not fair to mix up with the simple proposition that was before the Court, matters wholly unconneced with it ; and he exhorted the Hon. Proprietor to act consistently, and not be induced to give an opinion upon the con duct of persons who were not alluded to in the requisition. The CHAIRMAN said, he should not be doing Ida duty if he remained silent under the imputation that had been cast upon him, and that not for the first time, by the Gentleman who had just addressed the Court. He had said, that he (the Chairman) hail used trick, by taking the Court by surprise, aid that he had shown the cloven foot. He would throw those words back upon him (Mr. Hume), and say that he had given hint grounds for saying that he had before this evinced a disposi tion to take the Court by surprise ; and he would instrnce that Gentleman's conduct on the case of Mr. Adams. He hoped the Court would stand up and protect their servant; and they must excuse him if he said lie would not resume the chair until lie had valved this riudg.aent upon his conduct. He stood here to m e ive etilitz their applause or their censure. (Applause.] Per taring, by their 'Maw, that he had not lost their confi dence, he wished, under more cool feelings, to address the Court. He had been charged with having taken the Court by surprise, by introducing the amendment. But, to show that his conduct was nut influenced by any such motive, and also to explain why the documents alluded to by the Hon. Proprietor (Mr. Poynder) had not been printed, he would request the opinions which the Court of Direcnws had given upon the subject of the pecuniary transactions of Palmer and CO. with the Nizam, be read, as part of his speech. (Here two opinions of Mr. Sergeant Bosanquet, and one of the the Attorney-General, were read. Thew Learned Counsel were of opinion that although they had no doubt the transactions re lating to the loans were fraudulent, yet they could not advise any criminal proceedings against any of the parties, because those acts which constituted the fraud appeared to have come to the knowledge of the Goverrment, which would be an answer to the charge.) The CHAIRMAN said that it must appeal to the Court, that while doubts existed as to there being any proceedings taken *lotion the parties, these documents could not be made public. lie would just allude to the conduct of the Marquis of Hastings, with regard to the licence granted by him to the house of Palmer and Co., by I which it would appear is what manner that Noble Lord treated the Court of Directors. The licence was granted to the house to do that which could not be done without the consent of the Indian Government, viz, take interest at a higher rate than allowed by the law, and was dated 23d July, 11116, and signed by Lord Hastings, Sir Wm. Rumbokl having then become a partner. But this was a most extraordinary licence, being granted to Messrs. Palmer and Co., and not to the parties by name. But the dates were the most material. This licence hail not been communicated to the Directors for more than three year, after it had been granted. Mr. TWINING said, that when this question was brought for. ward, It was hoped that we should come to a speedy conclusion ; at the same time he thought there were many other persons con. eerned with the claim of the Marquis of Hastings, he thought it would have been but fair that the claims of those persons who were connected with hint. should be met. It was his intention to move an amendment to embrace those two objects. He thought the claims of the Marquis of Hastings were great, and deserved the peculiar notice of this Court. The longer they debated this claim, the more they would be increasing matter to discuss, and• it was therefore desirable to avoid it. He then moved an amend; went to that effect. • The CHAIRMAN said, that the Honourable Proprietor was se well acquainted with the forms of the Court, that he did not require to be told that it was irregular to move a second amendment before the first wax disposed of. Mr. S. Dixon said that he thought there should be an adjourn ment, for this was a moat important question, and deserved every consideration. Before, however, he made the motion to that effect, he should say that all the papers that had been read had done good, for it would give the Ilonourable Proprietors a clearer view of the question than what they had, perhaps, when the came into this room. But he begged to say, that unless a clearer case was made out against the Noble Marquis than had been this day, he should, for one, consider that Noble Lord wholly untouched by those proceedings.

After some desultory conversation the Court adjourned. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. Si i—This afternoon, about four o'clock, a gentleman of the name of Owens, an eminent violin player, went into Mr. Betts's music shop at the back of the Royal Exchange, and asked leave to go up stairs, when lie immediately put a period to his existence by shoot. ing himself with a pistol. In consequence ot the music.room being over my office, a report immediately spread that lie was a large speculator in Shares ; I b.g therefore to state, through the medium of your paper, that the untortonate gentleman was a total Winger to me. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. North Piazza. nerd Exchage, GEO. PALMER. Feb. 11, 182*. P.S —I have sines learned that Mr. Owens hid been previously sub,;ect to derangement.

LAW INTFLLIGENCE. COURT OF CHAIMMK: FY !DAY, Yl3. IL. When his Lordship took his chair, Mr. MoSTAOU said, he had drawn up minutes of what he understood his Lordship's judgment to be in the matter of C. Arcangeo, a bankrupt, pronounced at the the rising of the Court yesterday, which he wished to read to the Court, with the view of ascertaining whether those minutes were correct. Alf. Ross—But had you not better show those minutes to us, before you trouble my Lord Chancellor with them ? Mr. llowrsou—No, I had not. Mr. Honwr —I beg your pardon; the minutes ought cer tainly, if you have drawn up any thing like minutes, tobe shownto us. Mr. Moxrsott—l shall certainly address my Lord Chancellor, with the permission of my Lamed Friends, Mr. Horne and Mr. Rose, who are at present opposed to me. My Lord, the reason why I now beg to address the Court is, to have this matter at once disposed of; and Mr. Horne, as your Lordship was leaving the Court yesterday, appended two words to your Lordship's judgment, which, if they RTC to stand, may create some difficulty, Your Lordship directed an issue, and said the first commission was to be superseded. Mr. Home adding "by consent." Nuw we wish to haie the order without any consent; I don't know whether my friend will now agree to that? Mr. HORNE—I shall agree to no minutes drawn up by any per son, until I hare nreviously seen them. Mr. MONTAGU—Then I must proceed to show why I think my Lord Chancellor ought to order the first commission to be IG , perseded. Mr. Host NE—My Lord Chancellor merely thought the commis -1 sion might be superseded, if consented to. Mr. MONTAGU—Mr. Home, you arc not to interrupt me, I I shall be heard. Mr. HORN I—lnterrupt yout ! You have no right to be heard just now. Mr. AI owtr,to t•—l have a right to be heard, and shall be heard. Mr. lionwe—My !Aral, I don't wish to interrupt my friend, but I say he has no right to introduce any new matter to the atten. tion of the Court, without giving notice of it to the other side. Mr. MONTAGV-1 have no doubt but we shall see in the news papers to-morrow Horne against Montagu. Mr. IiOUNE—I don't care what's in the newspapers. Mr. MONTAGU—Nor I; but I wish to be treated in Court as I am treated out of it. and that is by not being interrupted when I speak. I don't care how soon I go out of Court for ever, but whilst I remain in it 1 shall be treated as I consider myself entitled to be treated. . . . His LORDISHIP—Now do let me just interpose a little of the old good humour. I ant sure I need not sty, when lam spealsing to Mr. Home and Mr. Montagu, I am speaking to two gentlemen for whom I have a most affectionate regard; but really is is with the greatest pain I find these sort of most unpleasant altercations hive lately become in this Court so common, that they distress me exceedingly ; and I do hope, from this moment we shall never hear of another within these walls. Mr. I 1 onwr —I hope not, my Lord ; but there are certain rules by which the practice of this Court is governed, and which clearly show that no such irregularity ought to be persisted in. as has been attempted this morning. Mr. MONTAGE-1 only wish to put the Court in possession of the facts. lam quite sure there are rules to govern the practice of the Court; by those rules an advocate in this country is fully entitled to address the Court without interruption on any occasion, and then the opposing advocate is entitled in his turn to the same privilege. His Lonnsnip—l believe the words " by consent" fell frpro my lips, which have caused all this discussion. Mr. Horne clearly has a right to withhold his consent if he thinks proper, for not withstanding I used these words, yet they cannot bind any one. Mr. HORNE—Then, my Lord, I consent to nothing, but hum bly and most respectfully call upon your Lordship to pronoince judgment according to your Lordship's own wisdom. /fib LORDS/lir —Then I shall do that. His GOIDSIP considered it of no use proceeding any further, because as Mr. Home had withdrawn every thing like consent, and as the minutes drawn up by Mr. Montagu were drawn under the apprehension that the arrangement was by consent, they could not apply. (Its Lordship said he would read the papers and give the best judgment be could. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FRIDAY, Fri. 11. ON MR. ciNATIATrs LATE SPEECH. (From the Constitatlonnel of Tuesday.) Peels, Fits. 7. The English Journals contain the proceedings of the first Sitting of the British Parliament. We observe that the spaeh of Mr. Canning is reported with singular correctness in the British Press. It explains, with great frankness, the policy of England relative to the new Republics of South America. The Opposition complained of the tardiness of the measure, and of the mode adopted for the Act of Recognition. Mr. Canning replied, that this tardiness was required by prudence and the ioterests of the country, and that the mode adopted is precisely the same as that followed by France at the period of the emancipation of the United States. In this com parison there is perhaps some irony, but the words of the Minister are not the left remarkable : , To those who say there is something mean and paltry in n elating a treaty as the mode of recognition, and who would, if were Ministers, rather resign than so disgrace themselves, I only obrerve, teat this has been always the mode. The Minister', the United States was not admitted to the Court of France till 'AM the signature of a treaty. That was the mode of recognition in that ease, but there were other circumstances attending the act wididly ' different from our recognition of the late Spanish Colonies. France not only recognised the United States before her territory was free, and without giving the mother country any offer of precedency, but, though in amity with us at the moment, mixed up with the act of recognition, a treaty of alliance with the United States to enable them to achieve their independence." .Ir. Canning adds, that it was his object to attain the generally. desired recognition of the independence of the South American States, without giving legitimate cause of war to any power, not even to Spain. • England," said lie, " gave Spain the opportu nity, by preceding all other States, to insure herself that superi ority in the markers of these Republics, which would necessarily follow the first act of recognition." The English Minister dem not disguise the fact, that this pro. ceediog of the Cabinet of St. James', has hurt many feelings, in terests, rind prejudices, and that it has caused some bitter regret. abroad ; but he says he has the best founded hope and expectation. that all this discontent, however poignant it may be, will exhale in vain clamour, and that the :epose of the world will not be dis. turned. The Intentions of Mr. Canning could not be made known more opportunely in order to relieve us from the trouble of replying to the weak arguments of our Ministerial Journals. It is a complete refutation of all the assertions with which they aredaily playing upon, the credulity of their readers. They told us that the eonfirrnauott of the commercial relations between England and the New Amen. can States by formal treaties, would in no respect change the actual state of things ; that it was an unimportant measure which had no relation to the recognition of those states; that the British Minister trembled in every limb at the name of the Holy . Alb ance t . and lastly, that these treaties of commerce would give no superiority to England in the mmkets of the New World. What will they now say to Mr. Canning, who tells them that that superiority is the necessary result of the priority of recogni tion, and who assures his country its immense advantages ? And, if they would attentively read the passage in which thts Minister speaks with haughty indifference of the wounded feelings, the thwarted interests, and the irritated opnions, which will exhale in %spoor, will they still accuse the. British Minister of hesitation and timidity ? Our readers will do us the justice, to allow that we foresaw all that has happened. It was sufficient to know the respective situa tion in which the different Congresses have placed the Powers of Europe, to be convinced that England. Crmidable as she is by her fleets and armies, is yet stronger by the tooral power she has ob tained In founding her policy on the grand principle—Civil and re ligioas likely all over the world. This solemn declaration, in giv ing her an irresistible ascendancy, enervates the Governments which have no popular institutions or guarantees of liberty. The Holy Alliance can do much against nations subject to absolute power, but nothing against England, and those States which are really free. All the Congresses in the world will never overthrow this truth : the moral power which is attempted to be built on fa naticism can be supported only by justice. England will enjoy ex clusively all the commercial advantages that other nations rright share with her. The States of illexim, Buenos Ayres, and Colom bia, will remain independent. There will no doubt be some coin. plaints, some reproaches, some regrets, some diplomatic move ments, some departure of couriers to the right and to the left, to the east and to the west; but, as Mr. Canning says, all will eahalek in vain words. SllL HIND c. TIMM Mr. SCARLETT on a former day obtained a rule calling upan Mr. Fisher to show cause why an information in the nature of a pm warrant° should not issue against him, commanding him to state by what authority lie held the office of town clerk of the Bo rough of Doncaster, in the county of York. MT. ATTORNEY-GENERAL now showed cause against this rule ; he stated that the first objection against Mr. Fisher's filling the office was, that he had not within twelve months pre vious to his election to the office, taken the holy Sacrament, ac cording to the rites and ceremonies of the Church of Englaud— that he did not regularly attend divine service in the parish church— that his children were not baptised there, but that he was to all intents and purposes a dissenter from the Established Church of England. The Attorney-General said, that he held in his hand affidavits which proved that all that had been represented against Mr. Fisher was totally false. Mr. F. had purchased a pew in the parish church, and he himself swore positively that he sways attended divine service there regularly once orr a Sunday, and very fre quently twice ; that he regularly took the Sacrament three times ih the year—on the fast of Good Friday, and on the festivals of Easter and Christmas, and that he did at these times immediately preceding his election to the office. The LORD CHIEF J VSTICE asked, if these affidavits had been read by the opposite Counsel ? Mr. SCARLETT said that he had read them, and that it was very evident that gloss perjury must have been committed on the one side or on the other. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL did not think that such a conclu sion was necessary to be drawn, for the clergyman. and those who swore in support of the rule, merely swore to recollection and be. lief ; but Mr. Fisher and his witnesses swore in positive terms. All the facts sworn to were positively denied, and the rule must therefore be discharged, with costs. Mr. BROUGHAM followed on the same side. He said, that after what had been urged by the Learned Attorney-General, he world merely impress upon their hardships the necessity of allowing costs in this case. The present application was no. thing but a trick to endeavour to defeat the ends of justice. Their Lordships would recollect that he (Mr. Brougham) had obtained, I on a farmer day, a rule for a criminal information against Mr. I Lockwood, the Mayor of Doncaster, for certain conduct on his part, arising out of the present election ; and the parties thought that when that rule was called on, it might be some answer for the conduct of the parties to say, that a quo warrawio was pending as to the right of Mr. Fisher to hold this office ; but he thought their Lordships would now see who was the true soldier. He would take this opportunity of just reminding the werthy Vicar of the parish, and his worthy Curate, that they had rather ex:wiled the line of their duty when they stepped forward, and either for Corporation or party purposes, took upon themselves to swear, that, to the best of theit •• recollection and belief, Mr. Fisher had not taken the Sacrament within the time prescribed." No man had any business to volunteer his services as a witness, except in cases where his knowledge and recollection were clear upon the subject. The vague manner in which this charge ,of not receiving the Sacrament was made, might be done with the mme effect against any man ; it might even be made against his Learned Friend Mr. Scarlett, for he, residing in the large parish of St. George, Hanover-square, where there were at a Sacrament four or five hundred communi cant/I, persons might be Immo to swear, that to the best of their re. collection and belief, Mr. Starlets bad not attended and taken the Holy Sacrament. Mr. SCARLETT contended, that, notwithstanding all that had been advanced against this rule, their Lordships would still make it absolute. How had Mr. Fisher answered' that part or the case, which applied to the baptism of the children ? It stood posi. tively sworn, that although Mr. V. was born in Doncaster, yet no registry of-his baptism could be found, and that although he had three children, all born within the town, yet no entry of any re gistry of baptism was to be found for either of them. In OTI:21' to get over this, Mr. Fisher was silent in the affidavit he had made, but he had annexed to that affidavit a certificate (not swum to) of a curate of the parish, certifying, that he baptized a child of Mr. Fisher's, at his own house, in the year 11119; but even if true, what did ;hat amount to?--why, merely that upon some young child being taken suadenlv ill, in order to satisfy the mother, the clergyman had been rent for to half baptize it. The le arned Counsel contended, that the Court ought not to try this question upon uffidavit, but that it should be sent to a Jury, where the par. ties might have an opportunityy of cross. examining the deponents, which opportunity would be agfßtid by the Court graatiog the gas rronto. Mr. D. F. JONES followed in support of the rule. He reiterated the arguments adduced by Mr. Scarlett, and relied strongly upon the affidavits of the Curate and the Vicar, that if the defendant had taken the Sacrament the eircamstance would have been impressed on their minds. Another cireuntstance very strong in support of the rule was this: Mr. Fisher has not answered that part of the charge which imputed to hint that he was not baptised, and it would be recollected that by the rubric of the Cburch, no person was eligible to take the Sacrament that had nut been previously confirmed, and no peraun could be confirmed that had not been baptized. rite Loin Cuter JUSTICE said, that before the Court gave any judgment in this case, it would hear the argument in " The King v. Lockwood," which was the application for a criminal in formation. THE NEWS OF LITERATURE. AND FABHION.—An un raw , ied Edition for sending in parcels, or for Town delivery, price Bd.
