The County is the only Fire Office which has constantly made Returns to its Members, and for a long series of years. These Returns have varied from 10 to 25 per cent. and have amounted to upwards of 100,0001. In the Life Office, nearly the whole of the profits are divided among the parties insured. 'Their effect may be judged of from a Policy taken out by his late Majesty on his own life for 3,0001., which additions increased to 3,9631. Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices haying been broken up within a few years, and about fifty new ones having been pro jected within the last two or three years, it may be necessary to observe, that all the substantial advantages promised by such new Offices have been long realised under the plans and ma nagement of the Provident Life Office.

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE kJ SOCIETY, King William-street.—At the SEVENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Society, a RE DUCTION of SIXTY PER CENT. has again been an nounced on the CURRENT PREMIUMS on all POLICIES that have been in existence five years ; and the correctness of the estimates, on which a similar division of profits was declared last year, has been fully confirmed. The premiums are thus reduced to a rate which will bear comparison with any other office, while the principle is recog nised, whereby a scale, originally fixed on a safe and.prudent basis, is capable of reduction in due time dependent on the successful progress of the Society. • ..

The Quarterly General Meeting of the .East India Company was held yesterday at the India House, in Leadenhall-street. - The chair was taken by •G. 401, Esq., at twelve o'clock. The CLEnx read the minutes of the last Court. The CHAIRMAN read the Report of the deputation ap pointed to present the address to the Queen on the birth of the Princess Royal. The CLERK read the correspondence which had taken place with reference to the statue to be erected to the Marquis of Wellesley, in the Company's Court, and a list of the .returns from the House of Lords and the House of Commons on the subject of the connexion which exists between the British Government in India and the religious ceremonies of the natives. The CHAIRMAN presented a list of the superannuations granted since the last General Court. The Report of the Committee on Bye-laws was then read, stating that they had been duly observed, and the Committee were re-appointed to act for the ensuing year. Mr. MARRiOTT presented to the Court a petition against the encouragement given to idolatry in India. The Hon. Proprietor stated' that the petition was an exact copy of that which was presented by Lord Ashley in the House of Commons, and by the Bishop of London in the House of Lords. _ . _ Mr. MONTGOMERY MARTIN withdrew his notice of motion respecting the Land Revenue of India, and gave notice of it for next Court day. On the motion of Mr. D. SALOMONS, the corre spondence between the Court of Directors and Captain Charitty, relative to the refusal of compensation to the latter, was ordered to be laid on the table. CASE OE THE RAJAH OF SATTARA. 'Mr. D. SaLoatotis said, before bringing on the im portant :notion which stood next in older, he must ex press his regret that the subject of it was not taken up by one who had more influence in the Court, and who was more acquainted with the politics of India, but the papers relating to the case having been laid on the table of the House, on his motion, and as he thought it neces sary that the Proprietors should express their opiniOn on the question before it was taken up by the House of Commons, which it soon would be, he had thought it his duty to bring it under discussion, and he wes then pre pared to state his opinion from the voluminous papers which had been put into the hands of Hon. 'Members. But they need not feel alarmed, for it was not his intention to lengthen his speech in proportion to the voluminousness of the Papers. They were all aware that the India Government had set up the Rajah of Sattara, and bound him by a, treaty, but the English were surely as much bound by it as he was. It was not to be entirely a one-sided one. It ap peared that some questions had arisen with respect to the violation of this treaty. The Court of Directors had on that, as on every other occasion, acted with the strictest justice, and he (Mr. Salomons) must say, that if any evidence were required as to the desire of the Directors. to study the interest of the natives of ladle, it appeared en the • face of that document. Any person who read the treaty could not for a moment doubt the impolicy of the Government of Bombay. The Court of Directors did not break the treaty. He (Mr. Salomons) did not say who broke it ; but there was much ground for the belief that the Engish authe-:. rities had broken the treaty. •The Rajah, to whom he I had occasion frequently to allude, had expressed lija tention of sending some persons %AIPIiPY .t° enable him to 4111 ;N44 after that-pro jeCted embaasY f! , :u ititege ( tcOnsptraeY Wm brought Under the attention of the antborities, The NnspiraPY Waa of a very undefined nattwoc' miff wtt§ §414 to invnive an at • tempt to meddle with the officers of 4 native regiment, and draw them off from their allegiance. When the • matter was investigated it appeared of so ridiculous a ttattiP mid§9 . egnlrletely without Uri object that it was impoasihte f - Onaa 4!13r m 8441 4 ,44 upon it, He (Mr. Salomona) had read the evidence of the Rajah himself, and he Mt himself hound to say that he never met evi dence which seemed snore foil of truth, Mr, Salo mons then read to the Court the minutes • of Mr. Henry Shakspeare on this subject, wherein that gentleman stated that he could not agree with the Bombay Government, that it was expedient to adopt a middle course, in this instance, if the Rajah were guilty ; that he was not satisfied with , the evidence achlueed, and that he would, therefore, acquit him altogether rather than adopt Half measures of punishment, even if he (the Rajahiwere guilty. Mr. Salomons then went on to say that, when the evidence was read coolly and dispas sionately, it would be seen that there was no foundation whatever for the charge against the Rajah. But the Go vernment of Bombay had made up their minds that the Rajah was guilty, and that if the evidence was not suf ficient to convict him of treason, it was sufficient to shoW that he • was an individual capable of. com mitting it. When the subject was brought again before the Governor-General, he again bogged the autho rities at Bombay to desist, Ho (Mr. Salomons) had there two minutes which would lay before them the whole case, and put them in entire possession of the I facts. They were two letters from the Chief Secretary of the Governor-General of India to the Chief Secretary of the Governor of Bombay. The first was dated Octo ber 2, 1837, and stated that his Lordship in Council was of opinion that the evidence that accompanied the com ' munication from Bombay, respecting the delinquency of the Rajah was insufficient, and that his Lordship's opi . nion of the danger of becoming involved in. an indefinite inquiry, had every appearance of being realized, and that the evidence of the alleged intercourse. with the ex- Rajah of Nagpoor, was in the highest degree vague and unsatisfactory. Now, that was the opinion of the Governor-General. It would appear that the Bombay Governm en t were d es i rous o f getting rid of an individual, whom ;hey, no doubt c on scientiously, thought a guilty man, and they communicated the documents to the Governor-General, who, after carefully examining them, declared that he placed no belief in them, and thought them of not the least importance.—(Hear, October, and in this the Governor-Genr7;;; a o d t d s such The other letter was dated a few days after, on t 1; 16th p N i ‘ n ,e i r o e n n , went again as th m at e t t h w e over thosime ground, and ex,presa 'still more strongly that batie n h had been • satmakemoi his Lordship in Council, There was a postscript to that i p th ro t e l e ie ed a i p n p g r s o paper, in which the Uovernor-General stated that he had lately received certain :communications relating to the .. subject, but that those communications did not alter his opinion-of .the ease. Now it appeared to him (Mr. Sa lomons) Oat nothing could be more creditable to Lord AuelelatiU than the wisdom and the moderation displayed by him upon the occasion, as appeared from all the docu- Ments which emanated from his Governmenqupon the sub ject. Ho would next read a despatch from the Governor-Ge neral, dated July. 10, -1830.. The despatch, - whiCh was read at knell) • expr 9 essed the belief of the Governor-Ge neral that the investigation into which the Government of Bombay had entered should he brought to a speedy conclusion, and that any attempt to protract the proceed ings would be highly detrimental to the ehaiacter of the Government. There was another despatch,. dated June 13, also addressed to the Governor of Bombay, in which it was stated that any protraction of the investigation would be seriously injurious to the public interest, and that despatch was signed by Messrs. Lushington, Jen kins, and others. There was besides a despatch signed by the same names, in which they stated that they saw no reason to dissent from the opinion which had been previously expressed by the Court of Directors. The Hon. Director proceeded to say that he did not wish to cast any censure upon the memory of Sir James Car nac, however much he might disapprove of the course he had pursued upon the subject under their considera tion; and he (Mr. Salomons) felt much regret in alluding to his conduct, w hil e h e cou ld not g i ve it his unqualified praise. There were a number of other minutes, which he did not think necessary to read, all to the same effect as those which he had gone through. It appeared that every means was had recourse to, on the part of the Go vernor of Bombay, fur the purpose of criminating the Rajah, and that a great excitement had been excited, merely for the purpose of ruining a poor Indian Prince. The next minute he would refer to, was one from the Governor-General, bearing date December 23, though, perhaps, that arose from some mistake, and it appeared the real date must have been September the 23d. In that 'despatch the Governor-General expressed his dis approval of any investigation, which, by being too much prolonged, would create a belief of the severity of the British power, and would lead the inhabitants to sup pose at the Government was influenced by a feeling of vengeance towards a native Prince. The charge of in terference with the Sepoys, which had been brought against the Rajah, did not justify the course which had been pursued. The Hon. Proprietor then read an ex tract with respect to the treasonable intercourse which had taken place between the Nabob and other Rajahs in India. On being applied to by the Bombay Government, the Rajah was disposed to refer to the opinion of that Go vernment. There- was one point in reference to this matter, which he was very desirous the Court should bear in mind. The Governor-General in Council was exceedingly anxious that the Rajah should have an oppor tunity of meeting the charges which were brought against him. The evidence was nearly all circumstan tial,—very little of it was direct. The Rajah was kept entirely in the dark as regarded the accusations which were made, and the Governor-General wished that they should be brought under his notice, that he might offer whatever explanation he pleased. In the interval be tween the death of Sir Robert Grant and the arrival of Sir James Carnac, the affairs of Sattara were again reviewed by the Supreme Council ; and while he must admit that it was the opinion of all the members of the Council that the Rajah had been guilty, a s far as the evi dence was concerned, the witnesses were of a very low description, and there was scarcely any of the evidence given which ' was not liable to suspicion. A • new actor entered upOn the scene. Every one of the Proprietors would agree with him in their personal esteem of •Sir James Carnac, that he was a most attentive Director, and a most kind-hearted man. The handsome testimunal which he had received from the native population, showed that if kindness of heart had been the only qualification necessary, a person better adapted to further the interests of India could not have been selected by the Court. But he, Must also state, in reviewing the conduct of Sir Janies Carnac as he found it detailed in the evidence laid before the Court, that that was precisely what had led to his mis conduct in his intercourse with the Rajah. It was a want of firmness in carrying out his own views—a, desire to reconcile things which could not be reconciled, pro . posing a half measure instead of fully carrying out the views of the Court, whi had led to the failure of the attempt.—(Hear, heal!) When Sir James ,C.-,rnie: arrived in India he found all the authorits prepared to depose the Rajah ; he himself being free from those pre judiceS which were rife in Bombay. He seemed, after awhile, to yield to the influence. of the atmosphere which he was breathing, although no stronger evidence was adduced than had existed previous to his embarkation ; he ap peared unable to bear up firmly against those influences which were operating to the prejudice of the accused person. After some little hesitation, with a view of bringing, the matter to a conclusion, he proe(;eded to Sattara, doubtless with the intention of serving the Rajah, in compliance with the feelings which had been expressed by the Court.—(Hear, hear.) This failure was to be attributed to his attempt to mix up the ques tion of guilt and innocence. If, instead of this, he had proceeded upon the principle that, regardless of guilt or innocence, it was the part of an enlightened and powerful State to bury his deeds in oblivion, he would have suc ceeded in his attempt. He pursued a devious Middle path, and that was the cause of his failure. Shortly after his arrival, on the 19th of June, 1839, in India, Sir JamesTarnac made a minute of three Courses which might be pursued towards the Rajah ; first, to sub ject the Rajah to a formal trial, and if he were guilty to visit him with punishment; to proceed in the mode in which national wrongs were ordinarily redressed by taking possession of his territories ; and, thirdly, by ad dressing to the Rajah such remonstrances as might ap pear expedient, -passing over his past offences, in the hope that the exercise of clemency would give rise to better feeling. Then he proceeded to say, that neither the Rajah nor his adherents were yery forMidable, or that they had nothing to fear, and that they could afford to act with generosity. He was sure every one who read or heard such sentiments would cheerfidly respond ,to them. Then came the interview I?etweet 'Sir:jamee Carnac and the Rajah : " The Raja came to the Residency accompanied by a small retinue. The interview-was strictly private. No one was present on the part of his Highness ; for, by his own request, the only person who came with him was or dered to leave. Mr. Anderson, Lieutenant-Colopel- Ovans, and Mr. Willoughby, were present throughout , this conference, " I commenced by informing the Rajah, that I had anxiously and carefully considered the whole of the pro ceedings in his case, and had, in common with all other authorities to whom they had been submitted, become fully satisfied that, misled by evil counsellors and low andinterested advisers, he had, on three occasions, ma nifested hostile intentions towards the British Govern ment, I reminded his Highness of the peculiar circum stances under which he was rescued from captivity, and invested by the British Government with the so vereignty over his present dominions ; that this was a pure act of generosity on the part of the English Govern ment, not founded in any right of possession, since, owing to the unprovoked hostilities of the Peishwa,the whole of the Deccan had become ours by conquest, but simply from a feeling of consideration and compassion to himself alai - 'family, as the representatives of a fallen but Rnec. - - - ower: ful dynasty ; that his Highness must to that, by the conduct he had pursued, 110, forfeited all the ad vantages which had . - , and in -. " - e‘• uerived from the Treaty of 1819, of which he became the head of the .Sat - 1. :! . .14, state : that, notwithstanding, the British Govern ment were willing, on certain conditions, to bury the past in n4liVioia, and that, at considerable persmial inconveni ence, I had come in person to Sattara, to endeavour to rescue himself and family from impending ruin. I in formed the Rajah that I was his sincere friend, and anxi ously desired to effect such an arrangement as would re store friendly relations between the two states. Finally, I recalled to his recollection the warning long ago given to him by his friend, Mr. Elphinstone, against placing his trust and confidence in Vakeels and low and intriguing .agents, and earnestly urged him to discard from his counsels the numerous agencies he had esta blished, and entreated him not to throw away this the only opportunity which could be afforded to him, for becoming reconciled to the British Government ; for, that, he might rest assured, 'however his agents might endeavour to persuade him to the contrary, that I lied come invested with full powers to decide filially- on all pending questions, and that the terms which I should offer to him bad already been submitted to, and approved of by, the Governor-General of India, and that the Home Authorities had placed the settlement of all these ques tions in my hands, consequently he might fully depend upon my having been vested with full powers. " During this address, which I delivered firmly but in conciliatory language, the Rajah evinced a considerable degree of impatience, and frequently interrupted me by abrupt declarations that he had committed no breach of of alliance. When I had concluded, he stated, that he regarded me as his friend and well-wisher ;. asserted, that the accusations against him originated in the in trigues of his enemies ; that as long as the British Go veniment entertained the idea that he had cherished hos tile designs he could agree to nothing, but this idea being removed, lie would agree to anything 1 proposed ; that he would consent to anything, except to abandon his re ligion or to acknowledge that he had been our eneu6r ; that he would receive my conditions, reply to them, and vindicate his conduct generally. Finally he obserVed, that if I had not leisure to attend to him personally, he could communicate what he had to say through the Re sident." Now. .as a - man, this raised Sir James Canine in hi. estimation. He must have known that his coP', ls i would be canvassed at home ; yet, like an ho" . l:st man, he put down almost his very thoughts—eve-:;. word of it spoke the language of truth ; but, A a statesman, he could not give him the same rra-':!.=-(Cheera.) Was it any wonder that the Rajah 's choler should rise when charged in such plain la7.guage with great crimes. He remembered the stor; of two friends who quarrelled. A mutual friend b'ught them together for mutual explana tion, but,:e first salutation of one of them was, " If you I am come to make any concession, you are ..amnably mistaken."—(A laugh.) That seemed to be very much the character of Sir James Carnac's concilia tory language. • The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN hoped the worthy Proprietor would read the rest of the minute. With great tact he read only such parts of the papers as suited his views of the subject. Mr. CLARK thought it was very bad taste to interrupt any gentleman in bringing forward a case; if he omitted anything unfairly he left himself open to correction from those opposed to him. Mr. SALomoNs did not think the observation was either just or deserved, but he had no hesitation in read ing all :—" In reply to this, I repeated my former obser vations, and said that I had come not to Prolong, but to terminate these :discussions, which had now occupied a space of three years, and which had ended in satisfying the highest authorities, that his Highness had repeatedly violated the terms of the treaty he had entered into with the British Government ; that, had I come to Sattara to inflict the penalty. incurred by these violations of the, treaty of 1819, further inquiry might perhaps have been considered expedient, but that as I had come to over look, and not to punish, this was quite unnecessary. The case, moreover, against his Highness having been established by a chain of evidence, both oral and docu mentary, which from the manner and circumstances under which it was obtained could not, in My opinion, by. any - possibility be materially shaken by any other evi dence, and all that I should require from his High ness was, that henceforward he would act strictly and in good faith according to treaty with the British 'Govern ment, and assent to two or three other conditions yen tiered necessary by the detection of his misconduct. ' -These observations were at intervals supported by Mr. Anderson, who inflamed the Rajah that the evidence pro duced against him was so strong and convincing that the highest authorities in India had, without exception, concurred in thinking that the penalty pre scribed in the fifth article of the Treaty should be un forced against him, and that he strongly advised his High ness to attend to the friendly suggestior.s of the Governor, who had come to Sattara to give hima second time the raj which he had justly forfeited. It was with deep morti fication and regret that I remarked that these observa vations produced no effect whatever on his Highness. In order, therefore, that he might at once beCome fully ap prised of all the conditions of the proposed amnesty, I deemed it advisable toput into his hands a Mahratta memo randuM, in which they had been embodied. Having perused this, and apparently with great earnestness, the Rajah returned the memorandum, and at once said he would not agree to my conditions, asking me to mention what violations of the Treaty he had been guilty of. He was then informed that three important violations of the Treaty had been proved against him :- Ist, of the sth Article, in having, during a series of years, held improper communications with the Goa authorities. 2d of the same article, in having held a clan destine intercourse with Appa Sahib, the ea-Rajah of Nagpore. 3d. Of having tampered with the native offi cers of the 23d Regiment of Native Infantry. The only observation made by his Highness related to the od of these charges, and was very remarkable. My con viction being that the Rajah felt at the moment conscious of his guilt, I had stated, that some of Appa Sahib's ori ginal letters had fallen into the hands of the British Go vernment, and inquired whether he could deny the fact of those letters having been sent to -him. He did not deny, as would have been natural on the supposition of innocence, but evaded a direct answer by ohserying, that, "The circumstance of receiving letters did not constitute guilt on the part of him who received them. A letter from a person does not establish guilt against the party to whom it is addressed. Where are my answers ? Thereis Mr. Anderson : he may receive a letter ; but this would be no proof that he answered it, or that he committed any fault in receiving it.' " I closed this conference by informing the Rajah, that the Resident would wait on him the following day, with a correct written statement of the conditions on which friendly relations between the' two states could alone be restored, and that his Highness would be required to sign 'these, as a supplement of the treaty of'lBl9. The Rajah assented to receive the Resident ; and when he was about to take leave, I again earnestly exhorted him se riously to reflect on the consequences of his rejecting the very moderate 't e rms offered f or hi s acceptance, to dis card the crowd of interested agents now in his confidence, and warned him that, if he rejected my terms, he could only Wine himself for whatever might be the result. On stepping into his carriage, the Rajah made a kind of apology , for the dismission he had occasioned ; but turning toward the Resident, and looking at the paper of conditions which he had returned to the Resident, he observed : Yeh Kaghuz oopur toomko izar howengee ;' which was I interpreted to signify a threat, that he (the Resident) would be injured on account of that paper. A very con siderable change occurred in theitajah s manner and de meanour towards the end of this interview. When we first met he was cheerful, and embraced me and all the gentlemen present with apparent cordiality. As the debate progressed, however, and more particularly to wards the close, he became sullen and gloomy, and spoke but little, and it seemed that he had, . for the time, en tire!), lost command over his feelings. From the re sult of this, my first interview, I almost despaired of accomplishing the object of my visit to Sattara." Rajah's second interview with the Governor, 24th • August. "At this conference the same gentlemen were present as at the first. After a few preliminary remarks, I ob served, that I was exceedingly sorry to understand, that the. Rajah still persevered in his-resolution not to accept the proffered amnesty on the. lenient terms proposed ; and again informed him, that these terms were final, and that the consequences of rejecting them would be fatal to his interests. His Highness's reply was much to the same purport as that made to the Re sident, and an unqualified refusal. With reference to the first condition, he said he never would sign it ; adding, that he had positively declined to sign the ori ginal treaty from which it was taken, three separate times. With regard to the second condition, he stated, he bad no objection to offer ; and, in respect to Ole third, the Chitnaves was nothing to him ; but, in regard to the fourth and last condition, although he had no in tention to injure the persons alluded to, he never would sign the guarantee on their behalf. _. " I again exhorted his Highness to chance his resolu tion, and asked him what confidence could be placed in his future intentions, when he absolutely refused to re enter into an article of the treaty by which he was already bound,. or in his professions of a determination not to injure the witnesses against him, when he declined to disavow in writing an intention of this kind. was supported in my argument by Mr. Anderson, who entreated his Highness to take warning by the fate of the ex-Peishwa Bajee Row, which had passed under his own observa tion. To this remark the Rajah observed, that his road, and that followed by Bajee Row, were different. On which Mr. Anderson replied, that the two roads, though different, might come to the same end, and that similar consequences would result in both instances. The Rajah's further remarks were of ft very desultory nature.. In allusion to his agents, he said he never con sulted any-one, but acted entirely for himself. He said,,' that he was aware the British Government was just. ! and had no desire to obtain possession of the territ which it had originally b es t owe d on hi m, huf. - was willing to resign it int o th e i r h an d s. - that he admitted, that he had incurred co ns id era bl e ex-i He said e - s, l a detailed account of which wag i n hi s poser,* lon. wd he was innocent of what he was acctw.• ed, and that he had proved the Soolaadars to he fob - by Colonel Lodwick's own standing, admissl 11. 0— • the conference ended on the under amnP ..at the Rajah had definitively rejected the ~„y on the terms offered." Mr. Salomons then proceeded to read the Rajah' third and last interview with the Governor, August 26. "My .hopes were a g ain excited by receiving a mes sage from the Rajah, signifying his desire to visit me at the Residency, to which I immediately assented. He came about au hour afterwards, and after a few com plimentary observations, be requested a private inter view, to which I agreed. Accompanied only by Mr. Anderson, we retired to a private room, and after a short time, at the Rajah's request, the Resident was soon after desired to join in the conference which ensued. his Highness then said that the object of his visit was to give me certain papers which he held in his hand. I asked him what was the nature of their contents, and whether he would not personally explain them to me. He replied, that this was not necess a ry, b u t that he wished me to look at them, and judge for myself. After a few more observations to the same effect, the • Rajah invited me to visit him at his warrah (house or palace) ; to which I replied that I should be most happy to accept his invitation, and to restore all the former relations of amity and friendship, provided he would follow my advice, and accept and sign the amnesty tendered to him. I added an expression of my hope that I might still have the opportunity of visiting him at the Dussera festival, in the month of October, by his compliance with my wishes on the present occasion. I urged the necessity of compliance by every argument that' occurred to me. I pointed out that the conditions prOpoled were of the most moderate description ; that I had ventured to depart from the stern orders of the Go vernment of India with the view of preserving him, and that unless he signed the conditions no confid e nce c ould be reposed upon him for the future. In conclusion, asked his Highness to state what particular part of the terms he objected to, and from the tenor of his re/4 it ap peared quite evident that he was resolved to sign noiiew agreement whatever. It, was pointed out lo him that the principal' article was merely a repekltion, verbatim, of the second article of the existing *Meaty; but- he replied that he wanted no new treaty 'whatever, as subscribing to it would subject him to similar demands hereafter, He was told such would not be the case provided he acted up to the term', of the alliance with the British Government, ' 3 ..1 again informed him thatit m;;; my anxious deairr, to re-establish friendly relations with him. Iu all4r.g to the vakeels or agents employed in Born baY. c'r.d England, the Rajah said he had not spent much ."Y‘,ney ; but spontaneously made two admissions—namely. that he had expended about 65,000 rupees on a ship pro vided by Dr. Milne to keep open his communications with England, which ship was now employed in the China trade ; but, he gravely assured me, sending her to China was with no hostile intent. He likewise said that he hail lately ser.t 2,500 rupees to his agents at Poona, for Capt. eo g an-2,000 rupees for expenses, 2,500 rupees for the rent of a house. This afforded me another opportunity of pointing out to the Rajah the useless expense of his employing agents ; but he re plied, they were merely employed to represent his case. His Highness after this repeated his desire that the British Government should itself assume the entire charge of his country, for that he did not wish to retain it if the condition of holding was his signing my terms. I inquired of him whether he fully comprehended the arrangement I contemplated in the event of his persist ing in refusing ; and he replied, that he did so, as the Resident had informed him yesterday, that I proposed placing his brother on the Throne, and to remove him from Sattara to Benares, or elsewhere : but that this course of proceeding would be oppressive, and contrary to all the customs and usages of India, though he did not desire the raj. After some further remarks, as to the necessity of the Rajah following the course pointed out to him, the conference, which occupied about two hours, • terminated at the Rajah's request, and he returned home." He would next read an extract from the Minute of the President's fourth and last interview with the Rajah on.the 27th of August :—" Information having been re ceived by the British Government that your Highness, misled by evil advisers, had, in breach of the treaty which placed.you on the Throne, entered into communi cations hostile to the British Government, an. inquiry into these accusations was considered indispensable. This inquiry has satisfied the British Government that your Highness has exposed yourself to the sacrifice of alliance and protection. Nevertheless, moved by consi derations of clemency towards your Highness and your family, the British Government has resolved entirely to overtook what has passed, on the following conditions, namely :—FirSt, that your Highness now binds yourself, strictly, and in goo 2 faith, to act up literally to all the articles of the treaty of the 25th September, 1819 ; and • especially to .the second article of that treaty, which is as follows :—` The Rajah, for himself and for his heirs and successors, engages to hold the territory in subordi nate co-operation with the British Government, and to be guided in all matters by the advice of the British Agent at his Highness's Court.' Second, that your Highness binds yourself to pay your, brother, Appa Maharaj, whatever allowances he has heretofore received, and to put him in possession of all his privat e property ; and, should any dispute arise on t hi s subject, the same is to be referred to th e R es id ent for adjust ment." Mr. Salomons then proceeded to say that he thought he had read quite enough of those documents. The DEPUTY CHAIRMAN said he was now satisfied that Mr. Salomons should pursue his own course in this SALOMONS then We n t on to say that he had no corre m mallltter. r . .sponde nt whatever in I n di a; whatever his opinion s on thi s subject might be, he had f orme d them from the documents which he had read, an d f rom those in the Proprietors' room.

He (Mr .

He (Mr. S.) said that it would be a de reliction of duty on their part to have kept the terms of that document and have kept a convicted traitor, one convicted under his own seal and handwriting, on the throne. —(Hear, hear.) But when the Rajah found that he .had never had an opportunity of a nswering the charges against hi m , an d y e t that the first article of the treaty was one acknowledging his crime, he rejected it at once, and he (Mr. S.l said that this was the course which would be taken by a man acting under the con viction of his innocence.(Hear, hear.) That appeared to him (.Jr. S.) to be the difficulty in which they were noW placed. He assured the Court he thought the sub ject: one of great importance. To the Prince himself it might be comparatively immaterial, but as it affected the administration of justice he (Mr. S.) could not possibly understand how any Englishman with English ideas of justice—how any English Government should have at tempted to carry on an investigation of this kind, in volving neither innocence, nor guilt, clemency nor jus tice.—(Hear, hear.) He was sorry that such an act should have been done by such a man as Sir J. Carnac, but there it was. He was pained to give the opinion he did, but it was not an extraneous opinion ; it was founded on the documents in his hands, and he could not in jus tice, in fairness, in common honesty, whatever might be the interests involved, avoid coming to the conclusion that the Rajah was at the present moment an innocent man.—(Hear, hear.) But admitting that it were other wise, if they were to convict the Rajah of a breach of one article of the treaty he might convict them of an an other.

ELECTORS, SLAVERY STILL EXISTS WITHIN THE BRITISH DOMINIONS—exists to an almost incredible extent as to the number of its victims, and the horrors of its oppression. In British India, under the protection of the Crown of England, Millions of our fellow-creatures—our fellow-subjects —are held, under different forms, in a state of abject Slavery ! Slavery, under any form, is an evil of tremendous magni tude. It is to deprive human beings, male or female, of that liberty which is their birthright ; to reduce them to - it chattel, and the level of a beast ; it is to place irresponsible power in the hands of a petty tyrant, who may use it upon his victim, according as he is impelled by cruelty, avarice, anger, or lust. Such is its character, and such at this very time are its effects in British India, under the various forms of domestic or field slaves, eunuchs, concubines, dancing girls (kept for purposes of prostitution, the lawless gains of which come into the hands of their masters). Slavery, sustained in its numbers by kid napping, breeding, by home produce, or foreign importation from Abyssinia, A Inca, Arabia, and other parts of the world, exists to the extent whirls has been stated in our dominions in the East. Your voice has been on-ie heard, saying, " Africa, be free ;" let it once more be heard for the oppressed children of the East.

If they cause to the letter of the treaty, he asked them whether they had not broken the treaty ? At worst, they had broken it in their intercourse with Goa, and the Rajah with the Jaghirs. They were convicted by their own documents, and in the course they had pursued had put themselves completely in the wrong, and the sooner they found means by which it might be remedied, the higher he thought, the character of the Court would stand. He was well aware that this was a subject inviti o nt very great interests. This Prince had been de and his brother placed upon the throne, and however they might choose to re-open the question and eplace the Rajah on the throne, they had this difficull7, that however just it might be to do so, it might be equally unjust to dethrone the present Rajah, and to reduce him to the rank of a subject. His (Mr. Salomon's) infor mation on the subject led him to the conclusion that the Court of Directort had not sufficient authority over the local governments abroad, and that these govern ments were inclined to act too independently. fie was sure that they had been committed in this case for want of decisive authority. He could go a great deal further into the subject, but he wished to simplify the matter. His object was not to make any attack on his Hon. Friends, bat to show what had been wrong in their administration. He wished them to review their proceedings, which, if not reviewed by , them, would be reviewed .by Parliament. He was quite sure that no man present wished to see an act of injustice committed against the meanest fellow. subject, and he was sure the character of the Company would be raised if they reviewed their proceedings. In. stead of deciding that it was a closed case, and that dig would not re-open it, he thought it would be far more manly and consistent with . their character if any new lights broke in upon them, to reconsider their proceetle ings. He understood that other individuals were in P. session of evidence from Goa, which they receive . from individuals who were there at the time the trametion took place. That was a feet not unworthy of recognis tien. He was not in po ssess i on of this treaty between the Governor of Goa and the Rajah bf Sattara. Could anything be conceived more ludicraous than a treaty to send 30,000 men against the Flt...st India Company? 'r Portuguese who was.accused of being a party to the con spiracy, belonged to one of the best families in Portugal, and he denied having had any communication Whatever of a political nature with the.. Rajah of Sattara.—(Hesse , hear.) If there was reason. to _believe that there )'.ai d been a conspiracy to ruin this individual, it would b u t honest and manly, and consissens with the hoPr.,ur of the British character, that an irs"guiry should k e instituted. These were his views or, an`', those he wished to impress oil she. 7 _"ourt. He had iv:, motion of a ho s til e nature hi 1-o the subject, —I 0- ect was simply to, brine- the sub' ect j under the csaisirie ration of the Coisra and he had endeavoured to do - ~o fairly. With a view, therefore , of calling ,the " 5 0. n • ..‘entmn o f the Proprietors to the matter, and to save them the trouble of wading' through the documents is the library, he would move for the production and print ing of certain papers, which he had selected from them, relating, to the subject. The Hon. Proprietor concluded by moving for the papers. The resolution having been put, Mr. LEWIS rose for the purpose of seconding it. On former occasions he said when the question wits brought before the Court, the advocates of the Rajah laboured under the disadvantage of advancing their statements, however much they might be;eonvinted of their truth, in the absence of any public documents to which they could refer, in order to substantiate them.- That circumstance had been adroitly turned to account by the opponents of the Rajah, and it was said that though a strong prima facie case had been made out in his favour, no papers' had been referred to, and the parties had spoken in the absence of the necessary information. Since that time. however, the Sattara papers had-been produced, and he thought he might state, particularly after the able, the candid, and the eloquent, appeal of the gentleman who preceded him, that those papers exhibited facts and circumstances, not only cOnfirming die statements of the advocates of the Rajah, out that they contained facts and eircumstunees.which placed the conduct ef the Ra 4 juh in a more favourable light than they had ever pretenued. That was not the only good which was produced by the publication of the papers.. The revelations made had, through the influence of the press, been dissemi nated throughout the kingdom, had reached its most distant provinces, and had awakened an interest in the Rajah's cause, and had excited the strongest sympathy in his flu-our.. He thought, too, that it required no great gift of prophecy to foresee that the public mind would not rest satisfied until all the facts connected with the case had undergone a full, fair, end impartial inquiry. He was happy to hear that that sympathy had been shared in liig).er quarters, he believed the subject was attracting; t'.4e notice of the Court of Directors. At ell events vlie Government of India was, as he conceived, now 'arraigned before the bar. of public opinion. The qu':stion'for the consideration of the Court, with refer .;nee to the Sattara papers, was whether the facts and circumstances stated ne the papers, justified the deposi tion of the Rajah. He would endeavour to show by a re ference to the papers, and the evidence they contained, that there was nothing to justify that act. The CHAIRMAN here observtd that the notice before the Court was merely for the production: of certain. papers, and he did not think it advisable upon such a motion to enter into an examination of the entire case. Mr. LEWIS said he conceived he was entitled to state his views upon the subject to the Court. It had already been alluded to at great length. Mr. WIGIUDI said that the case had undoubtedly been entered into at length by the lion. Proprietor who had introduced the motion ; but lie ccrtaiely had felt sur prised, after the speech of that Hon. Gentleman, to find him conclude with a motion merely for certain papers. If,. however, one gentleman had taken an inconvenient course that was no reason why another should add to their difficulty by imitating his example. He thought it would be highly inexpedient to enter into the whole question upon a motion for the production of papers, and others might feel precluded from making a reply to any observations that might be offered under such circum stances. PRICE 5d Mr. LEWIS understood that it was the intention of the mover to call the attention of the Court to the entire case when asking for the production of certain papers. A PROPRIETOR—Every one here has a right to say anything he may think fit upon the case of the Ilajah o Major-General Sir J. L. LUSIIINGTON, the Deputy- Chairman, said that there was no indisposition upon the part either of the Chairman or the Court to discuss _he entire question fully and fairly. But he should say that the speech with which the motion was prefaced in the first instance had led him to expect a very different con clusion from the proposed resolution. The . motion waa for the production of certain papers. And why ? In order, no doubt, as the Hon. Proprietor had said, that the case might be discussed hereafter. Now, he pre sumed it would be going too far upon such a motion to enter into a general argument. Such a course would place them in a very awkward situation, as they would be called upon to make a reply, while they were willing to agree to the motion. If the motion had been for censure of the Government at home or abroad, 'or upon the conduct of Sir J. Carnac in particular, upon who he, thoUght observations had boen made in no way merited if that were the case he should.have had no objection to, enter into the entire matter. But he did nOt see why such a course should be adopted upon the motion then.. before them. A Pt:omit:Ton said that he did not think it advisable upon that occasion to go into the whole ease, -while they were waiting for additional papers for their information: lie was not himself an enemy to the cause of the Itajnl2, but, on the contrary, he was rather inclined to decide in his favour. Is%pe,o A ue l lc r di . Ll l a E x: N re v h i b s eee s c ai no d unrit t i l ei i ni e adt p h r eh o a ff o r nno t . ime for the interruption to be brou g h t un d er its attentiot?cileo; v t . a e h r nadt Is tl .. li a lf( s t‘esr n u i wb a i k he i ac n tt g ri l ita i m is been already sa id upon the su bj ect, h e t h oug h t i t w ould be unfair to his opponents that the discussion should be poStponed. The DEPUTY CHAIRMAN said the ground stated for the motion was that the Proprietors might him , an oP portunity of looking further into the question. A s'al ec :. lion havin g b een ma d e i n compliance with the wish of a previous meeting, the Hon. Proprietor moved fl/r further papers. As no objection would be offered to the production of those additional papers, it would be a wastie of the time of the Court to go into the general question on that occasion. After some further discussion as to the propriety of going into the merits of the case, the Bon. Member . said he should exercise the right which he possessed by proceeding with the discussion. On former occasions when the case was before the Court, the under rte di e• the righteous ease of the Rajah laboured d advantage of arguing it without the data of official do- . cuments to refer to in support of their case. One of the strongest objections urged against them was, that they could not appeal to documents containing the informa tion the Court had since become possessed of, and now they were in a position to do full justice to the subject. They had just been favoured with an eloquent and clear speech from the Hon. Mover, and the effect of that speech on the Court proved, that even there such a case of oppression met with much sympathy ; the statement of the . case which had gone forth in the press hail contributed to the desired result, and the public mind would not rest until the whole case had undergone a full and complete investigation. Indeed he had heard a rumour which he trusted was true--he had heard it stated that the Directors themselves had it in contem plation to institute, or cause to be instituted, a searching or AreNtlalnalg,eof heardthen case.oting of such an in-! t ention. Mr. LEWIS was very sorry for it, for it would have done honour to the Court of Directors. The question t. be considered was, whether the Government of Bombay were right or wrong in the course they had followed in the case of the Rajah of Sattara ? Did the whole of the facts and circumstances of the case Justify that Govern-. meat in the arbitrary conduct pursued by them in that case ? He was prepared to show from the documents that such was not the case ; indeed the whole of the evidence that could be relied on, proved the innocence of the Ra jah. After quoting much of the evidence given before the Commission, he said the following question and an swer were decisive of the case : _ n h , c et .t this conspiracy ?
