Al they gave the franchise to all the natives of India,. what would become of the proprietors there ? They would cease to exist. (Hear, hear.) From the evi dence before the House of Commons, it would appear that the strongest objection to such a proposition was that it would swamp the East India Company. The question was now before Parliament, and they she o uld leave it to be discussed there. He suggested that the honourable proprietor should withdraw the motion, and not let it go forth to the world that they deliberately debated there whether they should be the constituent body, or adopt a resolution that swamp them. Mr. LEWIN contended that they did not hold the pri vileges possessed by them for their own benefit, but for the benefit of the people of India, and they should not consider whether it would benefit them, but whether it would benefit India. The motion was negatived. INDIAN REPRESENTATION. - Mr. LEWIN moved that the Court is of opinion that an opportunity should be afforded to the natives of India of being heard by their representatives on the discussions about to take place in Parliament relative to the renewal of the Charter of the East India Company. His object in making the proposition was to relieve the people of India from the grievances under which they laboured. The CHAIRMAN moved the previous question. The result was that the motion of Mr. Lewin was lost, and the Court adjourned. :~.~... LONDON, THURSDAY, EVENING, DECEMBER 23, 1852.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great efficacy of this medicine :-- " Winehmore Hill, Middlesex, April 16, 1851. Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from iaking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief ; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a Letter state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it. "I am, Sir, yours resnectfully, THOMAS PROVINCE. " To Mr, T. Front, 229, Strand, London.

THE MURDER TN THE FOREST OF DEAN.—DRYBROO F, MONDAY.—To-day the inquest on the body of William Peake, the sawyer, who was found dead in the road near this place on Thursday week, having been killed by a knife or some other sharp instrument being thrust through one of his eyes to the brain, was resumed before John Lovegrove, Esq., one of the coroners for the county of Gloucester. The only evidence taken to-day was that of the father and mother of the prisoner. Mary Greenhaf, the prisoner's mother, proved that on the night of the supposed murder she went to bed about nine o'clock, 'and that her son James (the prisoner) did not come home until some time after, when her husband let him in. She was examined also with respect to a cloth which the police found in the house with blood upon it, as if a knife had been wiped with it. She swore that on the Sunday before the supposed murder her husband's nose bled, and that he wiped it on this cloth. Thomas Greenhaf, the father of the prisoner, however, denied that he had had his nose bleeding on the Sunday, but he said his nose bled on the Monday, and that he used the cloth then, and was scolded by his wife for doing so. This witness also gave evidence as to the time the pri soner came home on the night of the supposed murder. It was about a quarter past eleven o'clock, and he was drunk. He smoked a pipe by the fire, and then went to bed, witness assisting him up stairs, and helping to un dress him. He and his brother John were up early next day, and off to work. The prisoner, on being asked if he had anything to say, and being duly cautioned, said he knew nothing about it. Some further facts having come to the knowledge of the police, which they inti mated might lead to important results, the coroner was requested again to adjourn the inquiry. The inquiry was accordingly adjourned to the 3d of January, 1853. SALMON.—The shortening of the fishing season, and returning to the old close time, by shutting on the 26th of August, in place of the 14th September, was voluntarily adopted at the end of last fishing season a)ove the junction of the Earn, and has been acted upon by the proprietors. It seems to have been attended with great success, as fish have not been so plentiful for many years as at this close time. The Tay and its tributaries appear to be swarming with fish.—Edinburgh Witnem EAST INDIA COMPANY. A quarterly general court of proprietors was held yes terday at the India House, Leadenhall-street, Sir J. W. Hogg, M.P., in the chair. The Secretary read the minutes of proceedings at last fleeting. Mr.. Li WIN begged, in explanation of the course adopted by him at the last meetin g in reference to the Wellington testimonial, to say that he did not object to the erection of a statue to the late Duke of Wellington, but he did object that the expenses should. be defrayed out of the revenues of India. ADDISCOMBE INSTITUTION. Captain M`GREGOR moved that it be recommended to the honourable the Court of Directors to establish at Addiscombe a gradnal scale of payments for cadets, re ducing the charge for the sons of Indian officers propor tionably to the ascertained means of parents, provided that the same could be effected without increased charge to the East India Company. lie begged to call attention to the information to be derived from certain papers which had been furnished to him, in pursuance of a motion made by him at a former meeting. Amongst those papgrs was to be seen an account of the receipts and disbursements at Addiscombe for four years, from mid summer, 1848, to the same period in 1852. The aggregate expense of the institution was 90,0001. in round numbers for these four years, and he found the average cost to the company for each cadet had been 1491. 15s. 7d., of which the cadet paid to the treasury of the company 1231. 16s. 4d., exclusive of indirect expenses, which swelled the amount, upon the average, to 160/. a year: Amongst the cadets were the sons of widows with probably a stipend of 401. a year, and unless there were. personal friends to assist young men of that descrip tion it might involve their families in difficulties to do so. He begged to call attention to cases where young men so circumstanced h - ad been obliged - to withdraw from the institution because they were unable to bear the expenses, and reminded the Court that the students at Sandhurst and Woolwich were differently treated. At Addiscombe cadets belonging to the same class paid probably four times the amount that was paid by cadets at Woolwich. With regard to the advantages which it was said were enjoyed by the company's officers, he submitted that the expense, the risk of health, the absence from Europe and their friends, to which the officers in the company's ser vice were exposed, should be taken into consideration when they drew a comparison between the pecuniary ad vantages enjoyed by the Indian officers and the officers at home ; and certainly, in his opinion, in the lower ranks, they did not more than compensate for the disad vantages to which they were subjected. He proposed that there should be four classes of cadets in the institu- tion—the first consisting of the sons of private gentlemen, who would make an annual payment of 1251. ; the second of those persons whose circumstances enabled them to pay 1001. ; the third of a class who, though they merited at the hands of the company some reduction, were able to pay 751. ; and he should propose a minimum rate of 501., payable by the sons of a certain class of officers and of widows. (Hear.) Colonel DICKENSON seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN must feel obliged to any proprietor who afforded him an opportunity of speaking of Addis combe, for there never was an institution that more per fectly answered the purposes for which it was established. He could say from his own knowledge that the heads of the departments in Woolwich and Sandhurst, who fa voured the institution once a year with their presence, invariably expressed their approval of the manner in which it was conducted, and of its results, as tending to the benefit of the public service. However anxious the honourable proprietor might be to advocate, as he thought, the rights of the Indian officers, he begged of him to consider that the Court of Directors stood before the public as establishing an institution supported to a considerable extent by public funds and they could not attempt to make it exclusively a class: institution. (Hear, hear.) Anxious as they were to sustain the rights of the Indian officers, they must not lose sight of the pub lic at large. (Hear, hear.) Some such scale of expenses proportioned to the means of the parents of the cadets had been.frequently under the anxious consideration of the Court of Directors, who viewed it in every possible light in which it could be placed, and at one time there was a strong opinion in favour of such an alteration. It was fraught with much difficulty, and more than diffi culty—with so many objections, showing it would be in jurious to the service, that after full and deliberate consi deration the plan was not carried out. (Hear.) To ap portion the sums payable according to the means of the parents, was an impossibility, because they would thereby establish a system of scrutiny into the means of each indi vidual that should be most strenuously resisted. There must be some institution where those students would get a military education, and he thought the expenses of a private institution would nearly approximate to those in curred at Addiscombe. But suppose they should agree to give the appointments to persons in embarrassad cir cumstances, they would throw the expense wholly on the public, and bring the institution to a close. The com parison between the Queen's service and the company's was one in which he would not indulge, and he would impress upon hon. proprietors that it was not a judicious comparison. Did the honourable proprietor wish that the condition and allowances of the Indian army should be assimilated generally to the condition and allowances of the Queen's army ? (Hear, hear.) He hoped the ar gument was not to be pressed so far. He would press upon the friends of the Indian army (being as interested in its welfare as any living man) not to bring forward a comparison between the two services, attempting, above all, to show that the Indian officer was placed in a worse position than the Queen's officer. He thought there was not an Indian officer of common prudence who was not in a condition to support his son at Addiscombe, and who would not be most thankful to have an oppor tunity of placing him there. The institution at Addis combs was not established exclusively for the benefit of the Indian army, but for the benefit of India, and for the purpose of supplying the public service in that part of the empire. (Hear, hear.) A director was bound to give the Addiscombe appointment to one who could pay ; but if they should adopt the plan of the honourable proprietor, and give up that con sideration altogether, and give the appointments to the humblest persons, making the public pay for it, they would place them in a position in which persons invested with public patronage should not be placed. He trusted the honourable proprietor would feel that he had discharged his duty in bringing forward the motion, and would not press it. • After a few words from Mr. Lewin, Mr. Clarke, and Capt. Doveton, the yesolution was negatived. CASE OF ALI MORAD. The CHAIRMAN said the next motion on the paper was in the name of Colonel Dickenson ; but he begged to inform him that the report of the commission appointed to investigate the charges against Ali Morad had been rendered by the House of Commons, and was now be fore the Court of Proprietors. It was so voluminous it was not copied, but it was on the proprietors' table, and open for inspection. Colonel DICKENSON moved that copies of the report of the commission which was appointed in 1850-51 by the Governor-General of India, to investigate certain charge against Ali Morad, Ameer of Kyrpoor , in Upper Scinde,s and of the minutes thereon by the Indian Government, and also of the report on Scinde by Sir George Clerk, late Governor of Bombay, be laid before the Court of Directors. A PROPRIETOR suggested that the motion was unne cessary, the chairman having stated that the papers were on the table. The CHAIRMAN said that, according to the usage of Parliament, when a motion was unopposed and the papers asked for were granted, it was not usual to make observations. The papers having been granted, the time for discussion would be when the papers were in the hands of every gentleman. All the papers included in the hon. proprietor's motion were laid before the court, with the exception of the report of Sir George Clerk, which the House of Commons at present refused to pro duce, and it was not usual for that court to require the production of documents which the Minister of the day had felt it to be his duty to refuse to Parliament. As this single document had been refused by Parliament at present, he felt assured the hon. proprietor would not be disposed to press for it. Colonel DICKENSON considered that the court was the great barrier between the Government and the natives of India, and when papers were refused by Parliament the chairman should not rise to interrupt him, because the gentlemen of the court might be of opinion that it was a necessary link in the chain of evidence to have those papers. On the departure from India of the gal lant officer by whom the conquest of Scinde was effected, a memorandum was left by him respecting Ali Morad, which caused Sir George Clerk, Governor of Bombay, to have the circumstances inquired into. A commission was appointed, composed of the most experienced and talented officers, the object being to convict Ali Morad of serious crimes. The report referred to was necessary to enable them to arrive at the tru th, and, therefore, he moved for its production with the other papers. Colonel SULLIVAN seconded the motion, which, after some discussion, was negatived. MAPPING OFFICE AND SURVEY DEPARTMENT. Colonel DICKENSON said the next notice of motion on the paper had also been given by him, and it was to the effect that some improved organisation of the survey de partment in India, and of the mapping office in this country, is urgently called for, to make available the statistical data and geographical delineations with which there is reason to believe the records of the Government have been long enriched ; also to secure the advantages of the survey still in progress, and of those which may hereafter be undertaken in the company's territories, or in those of their allies. He did not feel it necessary, however, to proceed with this motion, and would there fore withdraw it. The CHAIRMAN thought the honourable proprietor haC reason to be satisfied, because when they had ascertainec what he desired it was at once agreed to. The mai prepared by Mr. Walker combined clearness with detail, as much as any map could do. There was also the map of the Surveyor-General, and he was glad to hear from I the honourable proprietor that they afforded him satis faction. The motion was withdrawn.

The annual meeting of the subscribers to this Insti tution was held this day (Friday) at the Public Office, under the presidency of Lord Calthorpe. Amongst the gentlemen present were the Rev. G. S. Bull ; S. Beale and W. Lucy, Esqrs. ; Messrs. W. Chance, jun., Buck ley, J. Dadley, C. Sturge, Seeking, and W. Dufton. The noble CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, ob- served that he was very little acquainted with the ope rations of the Institution ; but he was afraid it was very much wanted, for there were some trades in Bir mingham which he believed were conducive to deafness, and if by any human agency that misfortune could be alleviated, they could only.be dqing good by promoting that agency. Deafness was a great trial to any person, , but particularly to a working man, who was exposed to Se-many contingencies. His Lordship concluded.hrsay. ing that as he was unable to state anything relative to the operations of the Society, he would at once request the Honorary Secretary to read the Report. Mr. W. CHANCE, jun., then proceeded to read the Report, which stated that the Committee had great pleasure in announcing that the Institution continued to dispense, through its medical officer, Mr. Dufton, much alleviation and comfort to the working classes who were sufferers from the painful complaint of deaf ness. The number of patients during 'the past year was 269, of whom 135 were cured, 92 relieved, and 42 incurable ; in 19 of the incurable cases, the complaint was hereditary. Of the patients cured, fifty-three were deaf less than 1 year, forty-six between 1 and 5 years, twenty-seven between 5 and 10 years, six between 10 and 15 years, and three between 15 and 20 years. Of the per sons relieved twenty-eight were deaf less than 5 years, thirty between 5 and 10 years, seventeen between 10 and 15 years, twelve between 15 and 20 years, and five between 20 and 30 years. Of the incurable patients, sixte t en had been deaf under 10 years, nine between 10 and 20 years, three between 20 and 30 years, eight between 3 0 and 0 years, and six between 40 and 50 years. Mr. Chance then read the statement of accounts, from which it appeared that the balance in hand last year was 821. 19s. Bd., the subscriptions had been 421. 19s. 6d., and the interest allowed was 11. 2s. 6d.; making a total of 1271. is. Bd. The expenditure had been 471. ls. Bd., leaving a balance of 791. 9s. to be carried to thenext account. S. BEALE, Esq., moved the first resolution. He scarcely knew anything of the working of the institu tion, for, although a member of the committee, he had not attended one of the meetings, and this he believed was the case with most of the members ; for in fact the work was so well carried out by the honorary secretary and Mr. Dufton, that there was no need for the attend ance of a committee. This was amply proved by the very satisfactory reports that were annually presented, and by the flourishing condition of their finances. The motion was seconded by Mr. DUFTON, and unani mously adopted. Alderman LUCY, in moving a vote of thanks to Mr. Dufton, the surgeon to the charity, observed that he could bear testimony to the great ability and skill dis played by that gentleman in the discharge of his duties, and the committee and the town at large were exceed ingly indebted to him for giving up so much of his valuable time to the institution. The object of the charity was the relief of the necessitous poor, and though, from the more perceptible character of the affliction, the public were more disposed to contribute to an institu tion for the blind than to one for the deaf, yet he attri buted this to the fact that the great prevalence of deaf ness was not generally known. It frequently happened that when a poor man was bereaved of his hearing, his family were deprived oftheir means of support; the remedies, how ever, were simple, and when administered with skill, as in this case, the patient might soon be relieved. Mr. CHANCE, in seconding the motion, observed that he could' speak from his personal knowledge of the ad vantage many patients had received from Mr. Dufton's mire, for he had frequefilly been visited by the patients, ninny of whom had told him that the relief they received was extraordinary. The resolution having been unanimously passed, Mr. BUCKLEY moved a vote of thanks to Mr. W. Chance, jun., the honorary secretary, to whom he paid a high and deserved compliment. Mr. DUFTON seconded the motion, which was carried. On the motion of Mr. C. STURGE the committee was re-appointed. The Rev. G. S. BULL proposed a vote of thanks to Lord Calthorpe for his kindness in presiding. He was sure that although that was but a small meeting, com pared with ninny over which his lordship had frequently presided, they were not the less indebted to him for coming to Birmingham for such a purpose, and for the interest he always took in the best institutions of the town. He trusted that his lordship would not accept the vote of thanks as a merely formal one. S. BEALE, Esq., seconded the 'motion, which was carried by acclamation. The Noble CHAIRMAN having briefly acknowledged the vote, the proceedings terminated.—A i - is's Birming ham Gazette. NATIONAL PROVIDENT INSTITUTION. Yesterday, the seventeenth annual meeting of the members of this institution was held at the London Tavern—Mr. S. H. Lucas in the chair. The secretary read the annual report, whiCh congratulated the meeting on the continued prosperity of their affairs, and on a large accession of members during the past year. In the year ending 20th Nov. last 1,127 policies had been issued, the annual premiums on which amounted to 17,7261. 4s. Id. The annual income was now 206,700/. lie. sd. The number of deaths since the lagt report had been 99, exceeding only by four the number re ported the preceding year, notwithstanding the great increase to the number of members since that period. The directors had considered it prudent to decline 94 proposals during the last twelve months. The claims arising on account of the deaths re ported amounted, together with the bonuses thereon, to 48,897. The balance of receipts over disbursements for the year ending 20th November was 137,193/. 7s 3d, by which the capital stock of the institution was in creased to 875,686/. 5s 7d, which was invested in real and Government securities, with the exception of 14,739/. advanced on loan to members on security of their respec tive policies, in accordance with the act of 1850. The Chairman, in a short explanatory speech, moved the adoption of the report, which, after a conversation, in which Mr. Bennock and Mr. Richardson took part, was unanimously . adopted. Messrs. Charles Gilpin and Charles Whetham, the two retiring directors, were re-elected. The auditors were also re-appointed. Mr. Aston then moved, pursuant to notice, " That from and after the next division of profits, either a triennial division of profits or a participating scale of bonus, payable to policies which may lapse between the periods of each quinquennial division, be adopted, and that so much of the rules as shall be ne cessary be altered for that purpose." Mr. Astell, the actuary, said inseply, that the principle which dictated the quinquennial system was that of averages. He found during the last ten years that the rates of claims by death were, in 1843, and in class 9, 241 per cent. on the pre. miums received : in 1844, when all the members were a year older, 19 per cent. ; in 1845, 38 per cent. ; but in 1846 they fell to 2 3 , and in 1847, to 22. In 1848 they rose again to 35 per cent. ; and in 1849 to 37 per cent. In 1850 they fell again to 28, and in 1851 they were 31, and in 1852, 30. Those inequalities he contended, showed the advantage of a quinquennial average over a division year by year. Mr. Willis submitted that a more frequent division of profits was consistent with justice and honesty. He thought it exceedingly hard that the family of the late Mr. Hardwick, the solicitor of the society, who had died during the last year, should be deprived of the division of profits in 1853, when all the premiums had been paid up. Mr. J. Cooke mo ved as an amendment that the triennial division should be omitted from the motion. The Chairman stated it as his opinion that the change suggested in the motion would, at this period of their history, be mis chievous, and nothing that he had heard in the course of the argument had tended to shake that conviction. Mr. Hart moved as a second amendment that the whole subject be referred to the serious consideration of the board of directors, which was adopted on a division. MR. LOVE, THE POLITIIONIST.—This talented artiste appeared on Friday evening last, at St. George's Hall, Stonehouse, before a crowded assembl y of at least a thousand of the friends and tenantry of the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, by whom Mr. Love was profession - ally engaged.
