EAST INDIA COMPANY. Yesterday a speeial general court was held at the India House, for the purpose of continuing the consideration of the two bills now before pailiament relative to the govern ment of India, and of the report of the Court of Directors thezeon. The chair was taken at 12 o'clock by Mr. MANGLES, M.P. The report of tho Court of Directors, granting to the eldest son of the late Major-General Sir Henry Lawrence an annuity of 1,000/. with reversion to his younger brother in the event of the death of the elder without heirs male, was continued. The CHAIRStAN having intimated that the discussion on the India bills would now be resumed. Mr. M. CLARKE said that the Chancellor of the Exche quer having signified his readiness to adopt alterations, he did not see how the debate could be usefully proceeded with. The CHAIRMAN observed that Colonel Wilkinson having given a notice of motion, he was in possession of the chair. Colonel WILKINsorr then proceeded to re-open the dim cuasion. There were, he said, two bills before parliament, and the object of both was to deprive the East India Corn pany of all participation in the government of India ; and at the last meeting there was read a report of the directors in which were forcibly and clearly stated the main objec tions to those bills. After having fully weighed the matter, and consulted with other proprietors, he was of opinion that the object which they had in view,namely, the good government of India, would be best attained by their empowering the directors to act for them. He had there fore, modified the motion of which he gave notice at the last meeting, and he would now propose it in the following form : ."That this court concurs in the opinion of the Court of Directors that neither of the bills now before Parliament is calculated to secure the good government of India, and they acefiedingly auth or i se and request t h e C our t o f Dirac tors to take such measures as may appear to them advi sable for resisting the passage of either bill through Par liament, and introducing into any bill for altering the con stitution of the government of India such conditions sa ma y promise a system of a (ministration calculated to pro mote the interests of the people of India, and to prove conducive to the general welfare." Mr. BORROWDALE seconded the resolution. Mr. LEWIN moved the following amendment :—" That the bill introduced by the Ministry establishes a despotism, and, under the pretence of fixing responsibility, vests un trolled authority in the Secretary of State, whose acts are screened by s body called a council, but which really pos sesses no attribute of independence beyond that of clerks, and deprives the government of India of all those checks which have heretofore exid, if they had not been duly exe rcised by the East India Company." Mr. JOHN JONES seconded the amendment. d Colonel Wilkinson's resolution was carried After a long discu ssion Mr. Lewi n withdraw hie amend ment, an unanimously.

When I began taking the Reyalenta I was iu as deplorable a condition as can well be imagined. I was confined to my bed, and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, suffering se verely from flatulency , constipation, and indigestion, and being compelled to have recourse to aperients every second or third dav; and, upon one oc.casion, hours I swallowed no loss than seven doses within twenty-m,ght , under medical advice. There was a giddiness in m y head, and a sin g i ng i u m y right ear, that when I turned my head on the pillow it resembled the sound produced by a light touch on a musical glass. I had a pain and sort of fullness across the chest, a sore throat, and a slight cough ; but the pain around my loins was so great that I could not remain the same position for ten principal sett. of the pain seemed minutes all night long.

Both competitors are below-bridge waterman, of merit as scul lersdand the event created considerable speculation among the East-enders, who generally back their favou rites very freely. At first.the men were considered so level in their pretensions that m mey was laid out at even, but subsequently Wade became the favourite, and as it turned out, not without good cause, for it would be diffi cult to conceive a more runaway race, after the first 100 yards. The course was from Putney-bridge to Mortlake. uannon jumped off with a good lead, which he lost ere his arrival at the London Rowing Club boat-house, and then Wade went away from him like a shut, and won as he liked by an enormous distance.

To accommodate the baking branch of the establish ment, so as to meet the wishes of so largo a body of men, the messes enter into mutual arrangements for the use of the oven during alternate days, and by this means each mess is provided with a baked dish of pleat twice a-week. Detachments of Royal Artillery, consisting of 137 and 150 rank and file, are about to embark in the steam transports Asia and Golden Fleece, to fill up the vacancies in the Ist, 2d, 3d, 13th, and 14th battalions on service in India. The steam-transport Gibraltar has commenced snipping war stores, &c., from Woolwich for Gibraltar.

The Victory, Captain 0. H. Seymour, C. 8., i .D.C. to the Queen, &c., flagship of Rear-Admiral Sir G. F. Seymour, Y. C. 8.. was undocked yesterday at Portsmouth, after a most elaborate refit extending to nearly three-quarters of a year , which has made her as fit as eve: for the duties she has to perform. The Blenheim, 60, Captain Francis Scott, C. 8., is so far refitted as to be ready to bond her sails. The Vulcan troop-frigate, Commander John Seccombe, is again ready to embark troops, whom she will take iu on the 16th, as before reported. The Echo steamtug embarked a detachment of . the 4th Foot from Portsmouth dockyard yesterday for the depot of the Isle of Wight. The intention to commission a Channel fleet forthwith, as announced by the First Lord of the Admiralty in the House of Commons on Monday night, has created the most lively feelings of satisfaction in naval circles and among the trades men of Portsmouth, where the fleet will rendezvous. Rear- Admiral the Hon. Sir Henry Keppel, K.C.8., is mentioned as the probable Commander-in-Chief of this fleet. On Saturday her Majesty's steam-transport Urgent arrived at Queenstown, with detachments of the 80th and 2d from Malta. She will take out detachments or reinforcements for the 14th au I other regiments now serving in the Mediterra nean or in India. Shortly after daybreak on Sunday the fine screw steamship Abeona, Smith master, arrived off Kingstown harbour, hav ing on board 700 men under orders for India. She had the yellow flag at the fore topmast head, indicating that there was contagious sickness on board, but she remained out side the harbour until the officers went on board to in spect her and have her placed at proper moorings under the regulations of the quarantine laws. Out of the whole crew and the troops on board, it was ascertained that only one man was affected with smallpox, which disc ise made its first appearance OA board the ship on Wed nesday week, when she had embarked her complement of troops at Gravesend for Calcutta. When the Abeona had her full number of men embarked this virulent disease made its appearance. The entire body of troops were immediately dis embarked, and, after a minute medical inspection ' such of the troops as were found to have been a ffected, numbered 70, were with the greatest promptitude despatched to the mili tary hospital at Chatham. The remainder of the troops who were pronouicod from the epidemic were, after precautionary measures were adopted, re.embarked, and the vessel put to sea ; but it would appear that when off the coast the disease reappeared in one man, and the captain of the ship decided on bearing up for the nearest port, which was Kingstown. The undermentioned officers have been appoiated Inspect ing Commanders in the Coastguard service : Commander T. Heard; Commander A. W. W. Fletcher, vice Commander T.

THE LAW or SERVANT AND MASTER. -DRAY V. WARD. This was an action in which plaintiff, a widow, and formerly housekeeper to defendant, sought to recover 2/. 10.. for one month's service and one month's notice. Pla'ntiff said she engaged with defendant, a single gen • tleman, to act as a housekeeper, and after she had been in his service about a fortnight squabbling commenced, and defendant declared that plaintiff could do nothing correctly. At the e-cl of three weeks def-mlant desired plaintiff to leave, and asreed to give pl the sum claimed if she would go at once. Potint , ff was strong in her denunciations of the conduct of defendant, who had behaved most rudely to her. She had, in fact, almost determined upon taking him before a magistrate. He found fault with her, called her a liar, aid said she was too goad for her place. His Honour—You can't take him before a magistrate for that. Plaintiff—l refused to leave unless he acceded to my ;emu.. tits Honour said there was evidence of a special con tract, and upo❑ such ground he must find for plaintiff, with costs. IMPORTANT TO CREDITORS, In a case heard at the Westminster County Court, on Monday afterni.on (Lewis and another v. Br• , wm), Mr. Beard, of Basinghall-street, sought on the part of plain tiff to obtain a judgment against defendant upon a dis honoured bill cf exchange for 10/. 17s. Defendant pro duced hia p:otection paper front the Insolvent Debtors' Court, but Mr. Beard insisted that he ha i a right to judgment at once. Defendant might not pass, and the creditor should be protected. His Honour held 80 too, and gave plaintiff imaaediate judgment and costs. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, April 13. (Before Mr. Pasbley, Q.C., AssiAtant-Judge.) The court sat yesterday at Westminster, and proceeded with appeals. Three parish cases, and the following, w< re disposed of. AN r MBE MARCIA/4D V. A CONVICTION IT MR. BINGHAM. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Le Breton appeared for the appellant; Mr. Orridge, in support of the conviction, by direction of the court. The appellant having surrendered, Mr. Orridge said the conviction was for indecent be haviour in a public thoroughfare, she being a common prostitute. The appellant, a French woman, was one of the class of prostitutes infesting Regent-street and its neighbourhood, and it appeared that on the Bth of January, at five in the afternoon, she was seen by police aoustable 299 A, walking up and down, holding up her petticoats at an extravagant he ght, so as to attract the attention of gentlemen passing by. The constable took her into custody for indecent conduct, and on the following morning she was taken before Mr. Bingham, who, coneideriug - the case fully proved, committed her for seven days under the Vagrant Act. She bad been locked up with other women during the night, and was removed afterher case had been heard to a cell in which there were other women of the same clasp, and in half an-h ur afterwards she told the gaoler that she could not have bet n guilty of the offence she was charged with a 4 she had drawers on. This was told to the magistrate, who would net, however, alter his decision, as the appel lant bad bad an opportunity of procuring that article of dress from one of the other females in the cell, and did not make that answer to the charge at first. She was a known prostitute, and had been in custody for miscon duct before. The policeman repeated the evidence he gave before the magistrate, but would not undertake to swear that the subsequent assertion of the appellant was untrue. The Asei.tant-Judge, after the case was concluded, said, withou• deciding that the policeman said anything incorrectly or untrue, the court could not in the face of additional facts, which were not before the megihitrate, confirm the conviction It tau-t, therefore, be qua,t,ed. Mr. Inspector Webb was attending to water the case on behalf of the police. ORIGIN OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND AND OF BANKNOTES. (Front the British Quarterly Review for April.) "The Bank of England was virtually established by au Ac (5 and G William and Mary c. 20) for granting several. rates and duties on tonnage of ships, Ice ,' ou which rates and duties ' persons whom their Majesties were empowers I. to incorporate under the na no of the governors and company of the Bank of England' were to advance 1,200,00)1. The charter,' says Macpherson,' iwas little more than a piece of forts, all the essential powers and privileges granted to the bank being incite led in tOo Act of Parliament.' Baron Macau lay, confirming this fact, says, Somers gladly put the great seal to a charter• framed iu conformity with the terms pre scribed by Parliament," The Tonnage Bank,' as the plan was called, excited, he tells us, a furious paper war,' but the plan amended received the sanction of the commissioners more easily than might have been expected.' In tru . h, the Parliament was under duress. Money must be had, and could in no other way be had so easily.' For the 1,200,0001. the moderate interest' of 8 per cent. was given. The bill granting supplies to the Crown' could not be discussed fully nor altered is the House of Lords, which, says the historian, ' was most unfair ' The Bank, therefore, bought its charter by a lean, when the State was in distress for funds, and it was fastened on the nation by one house of Parliament in a money bill. From the first it was bound up with taxation and the State; and, true to its origin, it has ever since been more the servant of the State than the friend of commerce, "At the commencement it was not uniformly successful, and it had to raise money at times by issuing sealed notes, and several other devices. The corporation,' says Baron Macaulay, ' was to have no exclusive privilege, and was to be restricted from trading in anything but bills of exchange bullion, and forfeited pledges. Having no exclusive privilege, it soon had rivals. A very notorious incorporation of the period, called ' The Mine Adventure Company,' Laving issued cash, notes, &c., the Parliament, by an act for ' continuing several duties on coffee,' and ' for securing the credit of the Bank of England' (Anne 6, c. 22), ' prohibiting any partner ship exceeding the number of six persons in England from borrowing or taking up money on bills payable on demand in any time less than six m nths from the borrowing thereof.' This Act secured to the Bank of England the exclusive pri vilege of so borrowing as against all other incorporations, and seems to have been the first important restriction imposed by Parliament on credit currency. From the title, it is evident that the Act was dictated by the supposed common interest if the Bank—to which it gave a monopoly—and the Govern ment, without any consideration of its future effects. It was one of the first and chiefestdegislative links iu the connection then inseparably established between credit currency and banking, and preserved in all our subsequent legislation. It was the life germ of all our Bank Acts." The Suisse of Berne says : " The verbal report made by Dr. Kern, Minister at Paris to the Federal Government, confirms the fact that in the passport affair the Emperor of the French was perfectly in accord with his Minister of Foreign Affairs as to the bases of the demeanni. made, but that he disapproved of the ftorren des _ tact Au to the difficulty arising e from b r ,. s 1,1103 be on which Count Walewski be tween the cantonal governm ents and the Federal Kern to Council, observations were t 'y t „ his depar the French Government previo.uasdytira o to receive ture from Paris, but he had II tinaticri of consuls, a reply.

It is probable that in the end the taequatur will be accorded by 6 votes tt 1." scions of icici)nos, 6 packages of sundries. The dates of sailing were—Gibraltar, April 5; Cadiz, 6.; Lisbon, 9 ; Vigo, 10. At Gibraltar were H.M.S. Curlew, the Portu guese brig of war Pedro Nunez, and the Swedish • .. . . corvette Ormes. At Cadiz was the Swedish corvette Najades. At Vigo were several vessels from the bar of Oporto, in consequence of the prevailing strotg westerly winds. On the 9th, ten miles north of the Burling, spoke the English ship showing third distinguish ing pendant No. 2,486, steering north by west. EQUALISATION OF POOR -RATES IN THE ALETROPO LIS. The bill of Mr. A. S. Ayrton, P for the Tower Hamlets, " T ., Provide a Remedy — for th: lnt quality in the Rates for the Relief of the Poor iu the Metropolis," was yesterday issued in a !minted form. The preamble assumes the inequa lity in question, and declares the expediency o f providing a remedy for the evil. At the first quar ter sessions after the passing of the bill,. and at ev several counties of Middlesex, Surrey, and Kent, e e r a y ci f i u s t e n 4 r r e q t ;t u i r s e t e q r u s e e n s s t i tto ti o be l eye l a i, r ld lB in a,, Ot f c or obe the r in and the City of London, the assembled justices of the peace will appoint from the resident metro politan justices a certain nurnly2r to form a body c llle I "the Metropolitan Rating Sessions," four fur Middlesex, three for Surrey, two for Kent, and two for the City of London.

The sessions may cause new valuations be "nide, and after Lady Day in every year they will prepare a basis and estimate the net annual value and the expenditure of parishes, and the excess or deficiency paid by each. The basis a i m il l i t t s o r t or standard of estimates or amount of excess or deficiency will, when allowtd and con firmed by the sessions, after mature considera tion and the hearing of objections, &c., be valid, legal, and effectual to all intents and purposes, and upon this basis or standar I the assessments to tk3 per Jr-rates wall thenceforth be made and continue to be made under the act. The guardians will be required to pay the deficiency of their expenditure by a precept from the sessions, and if the guardians disobey the p ecept warrants will be issued to the overseers of the pa ishes to pay the amount. Should the overseers prove equally disobedient, the sessions may levy the amount by distress and sale on the goods of the offender, and, in default, commit the overseer to the common gaol or house of correction. All orders of tlie sessions will be final, and subject to no appeal whatever. The bill awaits its second reading. Country Markets. LIVERPOOL. APRIL 13. There was a very poor attendance at our market this morning, with a less general demand for wheat at prices rather over last Tue,day. Flour met a moderate inquiry. Oats have advanced l d to 2d per bushel, and meal la to 21 per load. Beans, 6d to is dearer. Barley steady. Indian corn was rather neglected, Black Sea, 31s ; American new mixed and yellow, 336 3d to '33s Gd; old, 349; white, 33s Gd. LEEDS-APRIL 13. The supplies of grain are very limited. At the corn menceruent of the market wheat wa• held for rather high prices, but millers showing little disposition to give ad vance hales proceeded slow, and in the business done Fri day'n ratea could not be exceeded. Barley steady, without alteration in value. Oats and beans gradually creep up in ptice, and a fair demand. Other articles as before.

Barry, who highly approve of the suggestion; and we hope, for the sake of all parties, the hon. member's plan will be adopted. If so, he will have the merit of reforming the House of Commons. RAILWAY COMMUNICATION BETWEEN MANCHESTER AND LONDON. —At a meeting on Monday of the General !Purposes Committee of the Manchester Council, it was lre , olved, " that without desiring in any way to enter t int) the di•Tutes which have arisen between the com !petiug railway companies, this committee is of opinion 'that a second railway communication, with undivided 'responsibility, between this city and London, would be a great public advantage ; and they recommend the 'council to present a petition in favour of legalising the union between the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire, and Great Northern Rsil say Companies." CUURCII OF ENGLAND YOUNG MEN'S SOCIETY.—Oa i Monday evening list , the 12th inst., the tenth mini , v.rsary meeting of the Ea-t London Bratch of this society was held at the Beaumont Institution, Mile End. The Hon. G. H. Byng, M.P., occupied the chair till nine o'clock, when he was succeeded by P. G. Dodd, Esq. The audience of mere 1,100 persons, seemed deeply interested in the proceedings of the ever- log. Aft r the report had been read the chairman (Mr. Byng) expressed his hearty approval of all contained in it, and was glad to perceive that such a healthy, social, and intelligent tone pervaded thu operations of the society. He was sure that all present would be persuaded that the conduct of this society proved that religion was no gloomy asceticism, and he doubted not, that founded as it was on a sound religious basis, this excellent institution would continue to progress and prosper. He was followed by the Revs. Canon Champneys, R. Parnell, and W. M Call, who delivered very instructive addresses on " Habit," "The Noblest Work c f God," and "Anni versaries.'

After M. Wentzel fue l developed his proposition, M. Reichensperger, of the Catholic party, said that if the State applied that system, the prisoners ought to be separated according to their religious creeds. The Minister of the Interior observed that after ISIB the ques tion of the cellular system was most carefully examined by G )vernment, at the express wi s h of the King. Not!ina, however, was done until 18,50, when Dr. Wicaren of Hamburg was called on to direct its introduction, and the result of the first experiments was most favourable. Before, however, a bill should be presented on the subject, the Government wished to have a further examina tion into the matter. He should consequently oppose the amendment of M. Wentzel, as being a vote of mistrust, and calculated to impede the execution of the measures contempla'ed by the Go vernment. The discussion afterwards turned on matters of religion, which was checked by the Pre sident, Count Schwerin, who said that bo noura . e members appeared to have forgotten that the the thecel lular sub ject under discussion was not religion, but system. The amendment of 111. Wentzel was ultimately put to the vote and !ejected.
