A resolution was accordingly passed, that all the persons who had been in the actual service of the Company for five years antecedent to the month if August, 1633, were entitled to compensation. N ow . the case of Captain Charretie turned upon the question whether e was in the service of the Company in August,',lB2, and it was to show that he was, that he (Mr. Salomons) now ad lressed the Court, and appealed to its judgment and decision. he the time that Captain Charretie was in command of the •hip Pombay, he became the subject of a Court of Inquiry it India, in consequence of some disagreement having taken i ilace on board that vessel between some of its officers anti officers of the army. The result of the inquiry was the honourable acquittal of Captain Charretie. When he re urned to th:s country- questions similar to those upon ditch his acquittal had been pronounced in India were , aised, and notwithstanding that honourable acquittal, an in luiry into his conduct was also established in England by the Court of Directors. In so doing the Directors were no doubt right. They owed it :to their high character and station to <atisfy themselves that their officer had not acted improperly. Pending this inquiry it was understo o d th a t C ap t a i n C. could not take the command of a ship, and he was not finally declared eligible to a command till February, 1829, six months after the period which was fixed as the commencement of the time en titing an officer to compensation. When he claimed compen sation the Court of Directors inquired into all the circum stances of the case, and the result was, a recommendation from them to the Board of Control to have Captain Charretie re. warded, inasmuch as he had, in their opinion, made out a case for compensation. The Board of Control did not think proper to allow his claim. A second application was made by Captain Charretie .to the Court of Directors, and a second recommendation, in conse quence, was made in his behalf by them to the Board of Con• toil, but that Board declared that as no new statement of facts had been brought under consideration, they could not alter their decision. The consequence of all this was that Captain Charretie's prospects were blasted, in a great degree, by his connexion with the East India Company, as he afterwards lound it very difficult to get a ship. He (Mr. Salomon 3) would lay before the Court a paper which would enable them to enter into the facts of the case much better than he could state them. He would first, however, read some extracts from the " Report and Resolution of the Committee and Court of Directors awarding compensation to Captain Charretie, as a special case." The first extract to which he would call their attention was as follows : " The claim of Captain Charretie has already been twice be fore the Committee and the Court, and rejected on the ground that he was not in employ within the term of five years antece dent to the 25th August. 1833, the period when he ceased to be employed being determined, agreeably to the decision com municated in the letter of the President of the India Board on the Bth December last, by the date of the ship's clearance. " It appears that the ship which Captain Charrictie corn mai,ded was cleared on the 14th of May, 1828, and that the usual investigation into the Commander's deviations and ac counts terminated in December following, but that, in conse quence of its being deemed necessary by the then Committee of Private Trade to examine the proceedings of the Court. of Inquiry, which took place in India, regarding the conduct of Captain Charretie towards the military on the outward voyage, his eligibility for a future command was not determined until the 25th of February, 1829. " Captain Charretie now alleges, that but for the time con sumed in the Committee's inquiry, which operated virtually as a temporary suspension from the service, tie wiatid have ob. tained the command of the Vansittart, abet would consequently have been employed within the prescrioed term of five years, reckoning from the 28th August, 1833. " In support of his claim, Captain Charritie has enclosed a certificate from the managing owner of the Vansittart, Mr Hare, ' that early in January, 1829, the command of the Vansittart was offered to Captain Charritie, and that the command of her remained open until about the:middle cf February 1829, at which period Captain Charritie not being released from the position in which he was placed by the Court of Directors, the owners were under the necessity of appointing another com mander, as the period of the ship's floating was approaching.' The time fixed for the floating of the ship was the huh March." The next extract was—" Your Committee having called upon Captain Charretie for further explanation, he has forwarded a letter from the managing owner of the Vansittart (Mr. Here), from which the Committee find that 'the resignation of Cap tain Dalrymple had been determined upon between him and the owners at a much earlier date than that of his actual resigna tion ;' and that it was decided by the 20th February, that Captain Scott should sacceed him, ' the delay in the presents. tion of Captain Scott being occasioned by the Court not having previously accepted Captain Dalrymple's resignation.' He has likewise forwarded a certificate from Messrs. Scott, Fairlie and Co. (who held a majority of shares of the Vansit tart, and by whom Captain Scott was presented) stating, • that when Captain Charretie was in treaty for the command of the Vansittart in the season 1829, it was to the best of their knowledge and belief, his decided intention to have proceeded to sea in her ;' and that " they are not aware of any other cir cumstance having prevented that negotiation being pressed to a close by Captain Charretie than the situation in which he was placed, by the Court of Directors having suspended his eligibility to command.' he resolution to which he (Mr. Saloreans) asked their con currence was as follows : " Your Committee being of opinion that the circumstances their Council in India, requesting them to use every means, short of actual force, to prevent it, such means would, no doubt, Ibe attended with success. He knew it was in their power to recommend anything ; and he considered it to be one of the 1 duties of a parental Government to call on them to put an end to such inhuman practices.—( Hear. ) He thanked the Hon. Gentleman for bringing forward his motion, and he was sure her Majesty's Government would lend them its aid in suppress- Mg this practice.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said that, in several of the native States, including Sahara, Nangpore, and others, Suttees had been entirely abolished at the desire of the Government.—( Hear. ) btr J. Bits - Asa. said that, from information which he had , •eeeived from a Hindoo gentleman of high rank, he was happy to state that Suttees were nearly abolished in many of the states in India, and he trusted and believed that the time was coming when they should look on Suttees merely as a matter of history —a thing which had been, but which existed no longer. Sir J. Carnac, a name known to and honoured by that Board, had tddressed a remonstrance to several States on this subject. and 'n answer had been received from a Raja staticg that he should rake means to prevent Suttees and bussing alive. He thanked he Proprietor fur his motion, and he thought Sir Williem Ben tinck was also entitled to thanks for his exertions.—(Hear.) The motion was then carried. THE EX-RAJA OF SATTARA. Mr. FIELDER. said that, in rising to refer the case of the ex- Raja of Sattara, he believed that he owed some apo logy to the Board ; but he did not mean to enter now at any great length upon the subject. He regretted the strong expressions which had been- employed in the last discussion on this matter ; he regretted that It had taken place, because he believed it had occasioned the painful necessity of bringing this matter again before the Board. He was unwilling to go into the merits of the case, and to provoke discussion now; he only wished that all the facts of the matter and all the papers which the Directors had received should be laid before the Proprietors. He therefore moved that the while of the further documents relating to the case of the ex-Raja of Sattara, and lately submitted to the Court of Directors, be laid before the Proprietors. General Lonwrox said he rose to second the motion, that there might be no difficulty thrown in the way of the produc tion of the papers. He was then proceeding to explain at some length certain charges against him which had appeared in the Bombay Times, when The CHAIRMAN called the speaAer to order. He said the motion before the Board was for the papers; he thought it was unseasonable for the Hon. and Gallant General to enter into ny statements in defence of his conduct until those papers were produced.—( Hear. ) General Lonwataz said the Hon. Proprietor (Mr. Fielden) had founded his motion upon what had appeared in a llombay paper, and he ( General Lodwick) believed he had a right to reply to it. He knew there was an Hon. Proprietor in that Court who would call for a letter written by him on the 9th I ktober, 1840. The CHAIRMAN said it was quite premature on the part of the Gallant General to enter into this discussion now. After the papers were in the hands of the Proprietors, then would he the time for the Hon. Proprietor. Sir J. LAW LUSIIINGTON said he could not but consider that it was premature to enter into any discusion now, or for the Gallant Proprietor to enter into any defence which he might think his conduct required. The question before the Board was only for production of papers ; and they were not in the habit of taking for granted everything that they saw in the papers. If the Gallant General had any other motion to make it would be quite distinct ; but at present he could only say, that if these papers were granted, then the Gallant General could enter into a vindication of his conduct, which might be attacked in these papers. Mr. Hume said he thought that the Gallant General had a most undoubted right to answer a charge made on his character at any time.—( Hear. ) He was warr an t e d i n d o i ng so , na y, if he had not done s o, he was sure there were individuals who would say it was a shame that he had not attempted to do so. He (Mr. Hume) hoped, therefore, that the Gallant Proprietor might be allowed to go on.—( Hear. ) Mr. WIGRAM said he thought that the Gallant General had first taken the proper course in seconding the motion for the production of the papers ; but there, in his (Mr. Wigram's) opinion, he should have rested.—( Hear.) Why did he go farther, and enter into what had been said of him by a Bombay paper, when the Court had no power to interfere with that paper. The Proprietor had asksed for certain papers, and the Directors had no objection to produce those papers—(Hear, hear)—but he must submit to the Court that it would be better to wait for the production of those papers berme they entered into any dis cussion as to the correctneas of the statements in the Bombay newspaper.--( Hear, hear.) Mr. Lewis said, would the Court allow him to say that the mover of the resolution had just gone to a certain point, and had there stopped, that point being the most offensive? He said he would not read that ; but attention had been drawn to it, and he thought it was right for the Gallant General to answer it. Mr. WEEDING said that in his opinion every accused person should be allowed a fair hearing._( Hear.) General LODWICK said he should say nothing more on the subject at present, but he hop d the Court would take his case into consideration, and that he should have an opportunity of replying to whatever might be said against Hear.) An HON. PROPRIETOR said he was glad to hear Mr. Weed ing advocate, in such decided terms, a hearing for an accused person.—( Hear.) He only regretted that the ex-Raja had not been allowed a hearing.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Hume said he considered that there was a great deal of injustice in not allowing General Lodwick to vindicate his conduct.—(hear,) He was glad, however, to hear Mr. Weeding say that he would give every man a hearing ; but he would put it to that gentleman, whether the ex-Raja of Sattara had ever been allowed a hearing before the secret Commission ?—(Hear. hear ) And he would ask whether all the papers on the subject h a d b een l a id b e f ore t h e P ropr i etors ? He thought eney had not.—( Hear.) In looking into the papers which had been been produced he found a groat many wanting. He would mention only one, which was of great consequence. Allusion had been made to the discrepancies in the evidence which had been taken before the Commission in the case of the ex-Raja. After the unfortunate man, Govind Row, had heels sent to prison, because he would not make such a confession as the Commissioners required, he was removed to the felons' gaol, where he was detained in close em,finement. The CIiAIRMAN said he really thought that this was quite irrelevant to the motion before the Court, and he would beg to remind the Hon. Proprietor that there was a great deal of business yet to go through.—( Hear. ) Mr. Hoax said, yes, he dared to say that the Chairman becanse he knew what he (Mr. Hume) was going to say, had called that irrelevant which he (Mr. Hume) called relevant.— ( Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN explained that he judged of what Mr. Hume was going to say by what he had already said. Mr. Hume continued—Gevin Row was taken then to Ah mednugger, and sixteen questions were put to him ; and it was said that there was no hope of obtaining anything from him unless he was subjected to solitary confinement. He (Mr. Hume) therefore before wished the c to ou k r n t o w w er w e thosehtehtehearnswers to those e s rs N sixteen questions, given wh en th e man was i n " d ur ance vile," and when what he did was to save hi s lif e ?—( H e ar, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said, th a t a ll th e papers which had been u ti m eh e had received by the Court of Dire c t ors had been laid, and in fu tu re would be laid, before the Court.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. HOME then gave in a memorandum of those papers which appeared to be wanting. Mr. SALOMONS moved that the whole of the papers con nected with the Commission should be printed. Mr. TwieisiG said, how many thousand pounds would it cast ? 11, F. PALIAN, or S. J. BARTRAM, the Wit nesses to the Will of MARY MEAD, late of 83, Cow cross-street, West Smithfield, in tae county of Mid ilesex. Widow, deceased, and which Will is dated the 14th day of May. 183 i, will apply to Mr. William Etherington, of 43, Cowcross street, ateresaid, Last and Boot.tree Maker, they will hear 01 something to their advantage; or any person who can give in ferma.ion to the said William Etherington, where the said F. Milian or S. J. Bartram can be found, will be rewarded for their trouble. thus detailed constitute a special case, recommend that, subject to the approbation of the Board of Commissioners for the affairs of India, Captain Charretie be admitted to the benefit of the cntopensation,and allowed an annuity of 2001. per annum from 22d April, 1834." Since that resolution was passed in August, 1835, nothing had been done in the case, and many circumstances had since arisen to strengthen his case. He need not say that he entirely concurred in that resolution, and he trusted the Proprietors would support him in the course ho was now adopting. He begged leave, before he proposed the motion, to hand into the Court the testimony of several officers and shipowners, as to the opinion they entertained of Captain Charretie. The lion. Proprietor then read the following motion :—" That, considering the resolution of the Court of Directors, held on the 2d of September, 1835, in favour of the claim of Captain Charretie to maritime compensation ' this Court do fully concur in the view taken by the Court of Directors of Captain Char retie's claim, that as a special case he is entitled to maritime compensation." Mr. FIELDER said that be had great pleasure in seconding the motion. He had only to refer the Court to their own papers and Bye-laws to show that Captain Charretie was en titled to a compensation of 2001. a year. It was not the fault of Captain Charretie that he did not spend the whole time in the Company's service, which would entitle him to compensa tion. But there was in addition a prospective provision aris ing from annuities, which was appropriated to officers who did not come under the general rule for compensation. The reason that Captain Charretie did not serve ten years did not arise from any fault of his own. He would not rely on the circumstances connected with the unfortunate gentleman's case, though he knew that he .had lost various sums of money, and that his whole life was not a " comedy," but a tragedy of " errors;" but, looking to the proceeding of the Court of Directors, and the investigation which had taken place before the Committee into the circumstances, he consi dered that Capt. Charretie was entitled to 2001. a year from April 22,1834. He did riot wish to say anything disrespectful of thelioard of Commissioners, but lie was sorry to see that they .gave no r 'anon for the decision they came to, which was a practice at variance with what took place in every department. of the country. lie would not take up the time of the Court, feeling the strength of the case, and he had therefore great pleasure in seconding the motion Mr. WEEDING said;ll at he considered the delay in the case originated with the Court, for which Captain Charretie could not be made responsible. Ho therefore thought he was entitled to full compensation. An Hoe. PROPRIETOR said that every military man was enti tled to his rank and pay while his trial was proceeding and, as he might say that Captain Charretie was placed on his trial, he thought he was entitled to his allowance.. Sir T. CAM TELL considered that Captain Charretie was equally entitled to compensation. Mr. TWINING had great pleasure in giving his concurrence to the motion, because he considered that Captain Charretie had, under adverse and trying circumstances, displayed the greatest resolution and judgment, and had secured the pro perty which others committed to his care, under the most diffi• cult circumstances. Seeing that he had never wavered in the Company's service, he thought him entitled to compensation. The CHAIRMAN said the Court of Directors had no wish to oppose the motion, which was then put seal carried unanimously. SU I . TEES. Mr. MARRIOTT said that the motion of which he had given notice was founded on a statement taken from the United Ser vice Gaze/I'e of October, and which afterwards appeared in the Asiatic Journal for December, p. 344. The Hen. Pro.. prietor then read the extract, giving an appalling account of the destruction of a suttee in olna. ' Court had heard enough of those horrid practices, and they were aware that since the Administration of Lord William Bentinck they had been abolished in their own dominions, but they still continued in the territories of the t native princes, and he believed it only required strong repre sentations on the part of the Court of Directors, to nave them abolished in the dominions of those princes also. —( Hear, hear. ) The lion. Proprietor below him (Major Oliphant), was well acquainted with those horrid practices which he strongly con demned; and it had been observed by Mr. Twining that they should be put an end to at once. The practice of the Suttees was very common formerly, as appeared by papers in possession of the Court, which gave the names and castes of 666 of those unfortunate beings who devoted themselves on the funeral pile. The Hon. Pro prietor then referred to the publication of Nil. Grant on the subject, which was written in the year 1792. There was no question now as to endangering their empire by an extensive circulation of the Bible, because there were various sects of Christians in India, and the Suttee system had been abolished in their own territories. We must regret that Lord Auckland seemed desirous to bind on them for ever the payment of a tax for the support of the Temple of Juggernaut. He did not anticipate any objection to his motion, and, therefore, he would net occupy the time of the Court. The Hon. Proprietor then moved _ . The Cita AM N said, it would he a great expense. Mr. said, he thought that the expense, when the character of the Gallant Officer, and the character of the Com pany were considered, was a mere nothin g .—( H ear , h ear .) A DIRECTOit said, he thought it would be proper that the question, as to what papers should be laid before the Pro prietors, ghoul, be settled in the usual way—that was, to say that the most particular and important documents should be printed. He thought that if the whole of the proceedings of the Commissioners should be printed, the compilation would, probably. he just so much waste paper.—(Hear, and a laugh,) 31r. Hosts: thought that in a case of so much importance, the papers ought to be produced. Let two parties on either side meet, and determine which should be printed. Mr. LEwts said, he did not rise to oppose the motion of the Hon. Proprietor; on the contrary:, he thought that he had acted with great zeal in bringing forward his motion. But he would. ask, how was the previous conduct of the Court to be reconciled with an accordance to this motion. When the Baja of Sattara applied to be allowed to vin dicate hie conduct he was refused on the ground that he was premature.—( Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Lewis) rejoiced that the Hon. Proprietor had made this motion, because it re lated to the conduct of the Commission at Sattara ; and he was sure that the more the public became acquainted with the facts, whether they concerned the conduct of the Gallant General, who did everything to defend the unfortunate Raja, or whether they concerned the evidence, consisting, as it did, of perjury, taken when the witness was under duresse, or the conduct of the Commission, the Raja would appear to be much ill-treated. —( Hear.) He rejoiced, therefore, that this motion had been made, and he trusted that properly to carry the motion into effect, every letter which had been written to the Board of Di rectors, whether from Mr. Willoughby, or General Lodwick, or Col. Ovans, would be presented to the Court. He would therefore move, or lie would rather submit, that the Hon. Pro prietor—lover of justice and no party-man as he was now—( A laugh)---should add to his motion, that a letter to the Board of Directors, datei December, 1837, and another dated October ' 9, 1840, from General Lodwick, should be laid before the Court. The motion was then carried. Mr. G. Tnompsox said that, as the motion before the Court referred to the production of papers, he begged leave to mention one document which he deemed essential to the com pleteness of the case of the dethroned Raja. The document he alluded to was the defence of the deposed Prince, from his own pen, sent hither by the hands of his accredited agents, which, singularly enough, had never been printed, although the Hon. Director (Mr. Warden) had said that all the papers necessary to a right understanding of the case had been laid before the Proprietors.—( Hear. ) He repeated it, it was most surprising that when compiling a body of papers, purporting to be a complete and impartial record of the facts of an important 'case, affecting the honour and fealty of a native prince, who had been deprived of his throne on the alleged charge of infi delity to his treaty with the British Government, they should omit the statement which the accused himself had furnished. This, be (Mr. Thompson) was willing to admit might be an over sight, and if it was, the Court of Directors would he eager to supply the omission. The hiatus caused by the omission of the Raja's defence was not however the only one. He must be permitted to ob.erve that in his opinion a more garbled assort ment of evidence was never published than that which seas contained in the first blue book.—(Hear, hear.) Had the Directors done their duty honestly in the first instance, the necessity of motion after motion for other papers would not have existed._( Hear, hear.) Muds had been said of the justice of letting absent parties speak for them selves, and he therefore trusted that those who had de posed the Raja would not deny to the injured victim of their arts an oppi orturity of placing his own explana tion before the public. The document sent by the Raja was in every respect worthy the attention of the Proprietors, and would amply repay the most serious attention. Something had been said about the expense of printing these documents; bid let it be borne in mind that, out of the money of which the Raja had been plundered, the whole of the six teen folio volumes of manuscript evidence lying in the Parlia mentary State Paper Office might be put into type, for the edification of those who were celled upon to pr9notince a ver dict on this question. The property of which th e jiaii " That the Honourable Directors be requested, in the case of the Suttee which was lately permitted a the territory of the Nizam, and in all cases of a similar nature, to recommend to the foreign rulers the immediate abolition of that inhuman and sanguinary rite, as the same has already been effected in the dominions of the Honourable Company." Major OLIPIIANT said that as his name had been mentioned, he would make a few observations in seconding the motion of the Honourable Gentleman who had just spoken. He had been in India eighteen years and he could safely say that he thought it would be most desirable to have those practices alluded to by the Hon. Gentleman put an end to. He had no doubt that if a strong representation had bin n made to the Nizam, it would tend to the abolition of the inhuman custom practised by the Suttees. When they wanted any benefit for themselves they were able to obtain it, making strong requests, but when the object was to put a stop to a most inhuman custom, they did not put forth any requests at all. He believed the Hindoo women themselves were most anxious to get rid of the custom if they did not think they were acting in opposition to the Brahmins. He thought the Court should make every exertion to put an end to the practices of the Suttees. Mr. WEatartc said that no sooner was a resolution come to, condemnatoryof Suttees, than the Governmentof India and the Council of India, in 1829, declared it to be culpable homicide, to encourage Suttees in any shape. After that, he thought it was impossible that this Court could refuse to accede to the motiort of the Honourable Proprietor, and he could not but imagine, therefore, that, if tie J3oard were is send orders to A TIDITORS.

So various arc the plans now before the public for effecting Assurance on Life, it may, at first sight, seem difficult to make chiice between them. As, however, all prudent offices make a eonsid. rably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following classification may be made :- Ist. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre• miurns and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the Share or Stockholders. 2d. Offices where the same is divi-Ted in various proportions between Share and Stockholders and the assured. 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of di.- pr.dit is equitably dis•ributed amongst t.,e assured only.

Four-fifths of the profits are dir•ided amongst the assured, and may be applied either in reduction of the an nual premium. or in addition to the amount originally assured. It is import tnt that persons at, present about to assure in this Office shou'd complete their Policies before the second Wednes day in May, as they will be entitled to participation in profits twelve months earlier than those assuring subsequent to that date. UNI VERSAL LIFE ASS IJ RA.NCE OFFICE, 1, King William-street, London. The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is consistent with perfect security. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction o , 60 per Cent. was declared on the current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841, when a similar reduction was again declared.

EXECUTION AT NOTTINGHAM (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) NOTTINGHAM, MARCH 22.—This morning, at eight o'clock. .loose Jones, the man who was convicted, at our last Assizes, of he murder of Mary Mtllan), at Mansfield, und erwe nt th e aw f u : -vntence of the law on th e new drop, in the front of the County Gaol. The particulars of the dreadful deed he committed— which was cutting the throat of his sweetheart, in his shoemaker's .hop at Manstit Id, with his working knife—have appeared at full vngth in the columns of The Sun, with the evidence on the in piebt, and also a report of his trial and condemnation. lie was r. young man, aged twenty-four years, of very good personal extern)] rod handsome cast of features, his only weak point being so de. votedly attached to one who could not requite his love with a re. turn. In a frenzy of rage and jealousy, he seized the knife, which unfortunately lay close to his hand, and inflicted the fatal wounds. lie knelt and prayed by her for a long time, and then said he never felt so happy In his life. lie was determined no one else should have her, and having accomplished that he cou'd die tasy. To prove the ex:ellent character he possessed, and the ontimation in which the inhabitants of Mansfield, where the murder was corn. nutted, held hint, a numerously signed petition, backed by the recommendation of the chaplain, was forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Dome Department, praying him to commute the sen tence. The answer returned by Sir James Graham was, that he saw no circumstance in the case to wsrrant him interfering. An. other petition was then sent, to stop the execution for another week, the present being Passion Week, but this was also refused. At twenty minutes past eight o'clock the bolt was drawn, and the murderer justly suffered the last Penalties of the lass. INDIA HOUSE. COURT OF PROPRIETORS. HILL COOLIES. Mr. G. Titomrsost (in continuation from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday) said—He cared nothing for the fate of that island ; there were other places in the world where the natives might grow sugar, surrounded by their wives and families and their children's children, and under the immediate protection of a more merciful Government than that which Mauritius had ever known, down to this moment.—(Bear, hear.) The measure might look exceedingly well upon paper, but he judged of its effect by the result of the Order in Council of 1837, and by the actual treatment of the Coolies in Demerara. Although a few might have been sent back to India as decoys, and though the most had been made of their evidence, vet he knew, from the most unquestionable testimony, which he had received from highly respectable missionaries in different parts of Bengal, that the emigration, let them call it by what name they }leased, was nothing more than a system of subtle and wicked trepanning. The British system of impress ment was not distinguished by more odious features than the kidnapping Hill Coolies in India for the sugar plantations of the Mauritius and Demerara. If there were anything in the papers asked for that was calculated to throw light on the question, if placed in the possession of the members of the Court, if it would extend their knowledge of the subject, or even induce them to pause in giving their consent to the clause over winch they had s . me control, ho would hold up fifty hands, if he had them, in favour of it. .sie felt that the natives of India would not be bettered by this emigration. It was his wish to sea India prosper—( Hear, hear)—their slave colonies hail had their day ; he was not going into what the proceedings of that day had been, but he thought they were not called on to show any extraordinary sympathy for the planters of the Maur tius and Demerara, who had for ages been carrying on their trade at the expense of the happiness and honour of the human race. He wanted to see India prosper.-- (Hear, hear.) He should like to see the West Indies enjoy a continuance of th• it present prosperi y, and the labourers enjoy ing - their independence in the freedom of their own mountain grounds; it was a proof of the beneficial effects of emancipa tion. But he should also rejoice to see such a necessity it, this country for an enlarged grotsth of sugar in India, as should compel the attention of the Court, and of her Majesty's Go vernment to the subject. He feared this Bill wo dd be but a second edition of the Bill of Lord J. Russell, which was de feated some sessions ago, in the House of Commons, but which was now promoted under other, and, for its being carried, more favourable auspices. He considered it an evidence that the West Indian Colonial party was still paramount ; it was not the Mauritius only that would benefit by the Bill, the West Indies would also share in its advantages. That Court, therefore, was bound to take care of the inlet ests of India —rather than of the interest of a few comparatively insignificant spots of our empire.—(hear, hear.) For this reason he would say, let them pause; he did not condemn the BB in toto, but he ob jected to it as far as regarded the fate of the Hill Coolies. If they could speak the language of those who engaged them—if they knew the nature of the contracts they entered into—if their choice was free and enlightened—if they were likely to benefit themselves by going to the country to which they were invited—he should be the last man to interpose a straw in the way of their free and well-informed choice. But under the circumstances, the Hill Coolies were not free agents; they were the most ignorant of all the people of the country they inhabited, and that Court had to decide f.,r them. They might as well talk of giving an idiot the right of choice when a subtle, interested, smooth-tongued, wily, well-paid recruiting sergeant was abroad. He did hope, therefore, thst they should have placed before them all the information it was in the power of the Court to demand, and at a future time, when they were in possession of that information, they might renew the consideration of the question, and corns to a deliberate, enlight ened, and sat isfai t try conclusion. '1 he CHAIRMAN said the Directors were fully aware of the great importance attaching to this subject. They were not at all desirous of withholding from the Court any information they could obtain on the subject. With reference to the Co'onial Passengers' Act, they were as desirous of giving that protection to the Hill Coolies, which their comparatively unprotected situ ation required.—( Hear, hear.) He thought the observations just made would apply to the principle of emigration to all coun tries; it did appear to him a great injustice to prevent the na tive of India from taking his labour and skill to other markets where he would be better compensated than in the country where he happened to be born. They were most anxious to pro tect those individuals by every reasonablemeasure that might be suggested either by the Governor-General of India or by the Government at home. He hoped, therefore, that his Hon. Friend would not press his motion on the present occasion. Mr. WEEDING said he did not ask for any thing impracti cable, but only for the dispatches of the Indian Government. He then again read the resolution, and suggested as an addition to it, the word', " that the Court be summoned at as early a period as possible to take the subject into consideration." Mr. Sanoatorss thought the Directors could not for a mo ment hesitate to grant the papers moved for. In a matter of so much importance as this, they ought to be very cautious. There were difficulties enough connected with our Indian affairs, but the greatest evil would be if the native Indians should come to look upon us as the cause of their being sent to foreign lands to fill the places of slave-labourer s . He was astonished that any objection should be entertained to the motion. Parliament was about to suspend its sittings for a short time, and before it should meet again nothing could be more advisable than to have the papers moved lor laid before the Proprietors in order that they might be enabled in the interim to discuss the ques tion fairly and properly, and be in a position to lay their views on the subject before the Legislature when t re-assembled after the Easter recess. Ile (Mr. Salo. mons) had two objections against the deportation of the Hill Coolies from their Native place. One was an Indian ob jection, the other an Engl sh one. The former was that these people were incapable of taking care of themselves. They were, too, not taken away in great masses, and though Mau . - ritius might b' ben-fitted by the importation of even a small number of those labourers, )et the stkrplus labour in India de rived no advantage from so small a quantity of emigrants being taken away. Thus India was benefited in nowise by the measure. His English objection was, that they legislated here without its being possible that any appeals could be made from private interests. How, he wanted to know, could you ask the Americans to emancipate their slaves, when you showed them that for the purpose of supply ing those plantations, which had been hitherto slave colonies with labourers, you were obliged to bring the free na tives of India to raise sugar in those countries, where alone it could b, done by persons accustomed to a tropical climate ? Those who wished to put an end to the odious conduct con. nected with slavery, should never cease their exertions till they saw slavery abolished throughout the world. He had seen the working of slavery, and he agreed with the Hon. Proprietor (Mr. Thompson) in his opinion of its horrors. It was said the slaves were well fed—why, so was his horse. They were fed well because it was the interest of their owners that they should be so. They ought to pause—to inquire—and havo all the papers before them, and see whether any modification could he introduced in the Orders in Council referring to tile matter. Let them see, at all events, that the liberty and the health of those labourers be provided for. lie should have the greatest pleasure in supporting the motion of the Hen. Proprietor. The CHAIRMAN repeated that he or the Court of Directors had no desire whatever to conceal any information upon the subject, and he proposed to insert in the motion, in order that ether documents might be furnished in addition to those moved for, the words " also any despatches of the Court of Directors referring stuhizegreesttoi.o'n' of He the also Hon. proposedProprietor, the in compliance with the the f o ll ow i ng wor d s at the conclusion of the motion, "and that the C our t b e sum moned at the earliest period possible , to t ake this subj ec t un d er t o consideration." There was no one more sensible of the im portance of the subject than he (the Chairm an ) and his col leagues were. They had, for some time past, pa id the greatest attention to it, and would be rejoiced to find it Properly adjusted. Mr. MARTIN suggested that the papers should be printed for the convenience of the Proprietors. After a few words from Mr. TnostrsoN and Die. ERDING, in support of the suggesion, The CHAIRMAN said it was merely a question of expense, and if the Proprietors consented to have them printed, the Di rectors, of coarse, would not offer any opposition to their being so. The motion, in its amended form, was then put from the chair and carried. CASE OF CAPTAIN J. CHARRETIE. Mr. SA Lostoisis said, that in bringing before the Court the case of this office], he considered he was but doing his duty towards one of the Company's late servants, who had been, he thought. very stanch injured by an act of f the Board of Control. He ((Br. S.) did not wish to be understood as entertaining or expressing any invidious opinion of that Board, because he was sure that the authorities in that Board were actuated by what they believed to be a sense of public duty in their conduct _respecting the individual whose case he (Mr. S.) now wished to lay before the Court. The circumstances of it were these: Captain Charretie en tered the service of the Company when a Young man. He went through all the gradations in' their service, till he at tained the rank of commander. H commanded one of the Company's regular ships durin g two voyages. A singular train of misfortunes seemed to have followed him. He (Mr. S.) had never heard of a man more persecuted by fortune than was this individual, and he trusted the Court would therefore, take a compassionate view of his case. lie (Mr. S.) on learning the nature of it had been so struck with the injustice that had been done him, that he had resolved to become his advocate and obtain, as he trusted he ultimately would, justice though late, though tardy, still justice for th e man. The Court w o uld b ea r in mind that after the Company's Charter had been abrogated, they had surrendered their trading privileges, and what was more substantial all their commercial assets, the Court of •Propri , tors thought that it would be but right and equitable to provide for such of their servants as had former b fulfilled their duties to the satisfaction f- //2_ had been spoliated was not less than 180,000/., and a past of this could not be better applied than in the production, in a convenient form, of the vast mass of documents d on which flat Indian authorities had professed to ground their decisions and' acts.---( Hear, hear.) He (Mr. iohne)Rwould now refers to the attack made upon the defenders of l in the Bom bay Times, and he forewarned Honourable Proapiirri.etthoersleathsattineo interruption which they might offer him would, gree, avail to prevent him from making the ob • rations which he intended to submit to the Court. He was sorry that an Hon. and Gallant. Friend ( General L o d w i c k) had ee nin s duced, by repeated obstructions, to withh o ld t h e f u ll exculpa tion of himself upon which he had entered.—( Hear ) let every well-conducted assembly, an individual who had been assailed by misrepresentation and calumny was permitted, even when ho question was before the chair to clear himself ; but such was not the custom in that Court. How stood the fact? On the first of November last, an article extending over thirteen columns appeared in the Bombay Times, con :aining a gross and scandalous attack upon every individual rho had appeared in favour of the Raja, during the debate of Tilly last, excepting his friend Mr. i'sorris.—(Laughter, and " Hear, hear.") Why that gentleman had enjoyed so d•s tinguished an exemption,he (Air. Thompson) woud not pre tend to divine. Certain it was, that his zeal and honesty in the cause deserved as large a share of abuse as had been cast upon any one else; but, perhaps, the secret was that Mr. urns had been a Secretary to the Government of Bombay, and bring therefore in I ussession of the " secrets of the prison house," was not to be attacked with impunity.—( Hear, hear.) Now he (Mr. Thcmpson) would be bold enougteto assert his deliberate conviction that the article referred to, emanated from the Bombay Government House. It contained internal evidence of the fact.—( Hear.) In truth it was a demi-official document, put forth to answer the dirty purpose of the prose cutors of the Baja. It had done its work. It had been sent to this country in large nntribers to deceive the public and to prop up the Government at home and abroad, and it was natural enough for those whose base ends had been already answered to get nii and say, " What have we to do with nevi s paper articles." But he ( Mr. Thompson) trusted he should be a')le to produce pros): amounting to moral certainty, that that sane libellous article war the offspring of those whe had been the most active participators in all the acts which had so deeply disgraced the Government of India.—(Hear, hear.) One word, continued Mr. Thompson, respecting the attack on my self. It is here asserted that I was bought into this House to defend the Raja, and am to be solds out when this ease is over. Let me say that I am neither to be bought nor sold.--( Cheers. ) That I mu here by virtue of a qualification, purchased with my own money, and shall remain as long as there exists any oppi es sion to resist, and that my part in the defence of the Raja, is undertaken from a simple and pure conviction of the entire innocence of the man. I will say also that the information whieh I have received since our protracted debate in July, convinces me that the Raja has been the victim of one of the most guilty conspiracies in which a wicked and grasping Government ever en gaged for the downfall of an honourable and high-minded roan. -(Hear•) Yes, Sir, if it be possible to bring a blush over the cheek oethose who have over and over again in this Court stood forth as the champions of the enemies of the Raja, we 'hall see that blush upon their cheek when, on another day, we exhibit the proofs of the vile stratagems which have been resorted to to bring about the ruin of the Prince whose righteous cause some of us have deemed it our duty to espouse.—( Hear, hear.-) It will be seen, Sir, that your own Government have not hesitated to betake themselves to the use of forged docu ments—to the employment of perjured witnesses, and to the evidence of parties paid to personate indi v id ua l s a b out t h e per son of the Raja. The safety of certain parties requires that the facts bearing upon these points be for a time kept back ; but I indulge the hope that when the papers moved for are before this Court. we shall be in circumstances to lay bare those scenes which are now from necessity concealed. You know as well as I do, that the most material witness against the Raja was for three years imprisoned, and even threatened with death, in order to extort from him some confession which should help you to criminate the master to whom he was de votedly attached. You know, too, that this is but a specimen of the vile arts employed to effect the destruction of a man against who:n von had nut the smallest amount of substantial evidence. Sir, if the Court of Directors are wise, they will make haste to retrace their steps. Think not that you can blind those who have lined up their voices to demand justice. —( Hear.) In your present circumstances you cannot afford to leave this ease unsettled.—(Cheers.) I, for one, tell you that you shell hear my voice, feeble as it is, again and again.— ( fleas.) I will not cease to rebuke your unrighteoustiess until the power to do so is at at end, or the innocent victim of your treachery is removed to that place " where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest."—(Cheers.) Mr. SA LOMONS said it appeared that this subject was about to be discussed again. He would merely say, that there was no doubt that the conduct of all those who had taken a part in the previous discussion had been severely criticised in the papers ; he thought, therefore, that in the present discussion every gentleman should speak with calmness and moderation' and they should not impute to the Government o' Bombay such dishonourable acts as bribery and per jury. He thought their characters were above it.—( Hear. ) andwhen the papers should be brought forward he hoped the matter would be discussed in a moderate and calm manner, uecOming a deliberate assembly, and the character of that Court. He did hope, therefore, that the Hon. Proprietor would retract the harsh observations he had made use uf. • Mr. WEEDING said that, from what he had read, he be lieved the Raja to be guilty--(Hear)—and considered that it was due to the people of India to make an example of him. He repelled with indignation any such charge as that the Court was willing to du justice to one man and deny it to another. With regard to the observation relative to bribery having been made use of by the Bombay Government, he -thought the Honourable Proprietor must retract such a statement as that, and as fur the poverty of the Baja, he (Mr. Weeding) would beg to remind the Honourable Proprietor that he had now 12,000/. a year, and that he was allowed to take 30,0001. away with him. He (Mr. Weeding) was not very sure that he was not now using that money in machinations against the Government, and he would advise the Government to keep their eye upon him. Major-General ROBERTSON said that he trusted the Honourable Proprietor, Mr. Thompson, would totally his charge against the Government, that they had beets directly and immediately guilty of bribery and forgery for the imrsose of dethroning the Raja. That such means had been indirectly employed there wss reason to believe.—( Hear. ) Mr. 'I tioatesue said he was not disposed to retract a word that he had uttered.—(Cheers.) In July last he had proved irom the minutes and letters of Sir Robert Grant, that bribes. rewards, personal indemnity, and future promotion, were pro mised to parties who would criminate the Raja; arid since that debate su much additional evidence had come to light respectirig he base machinations of the servants of the Company, that he felt fully authorised to state what he had said and to stand by it. He would also remind Honourable Proprietors of the charges against the Government contained In the Bom bay Gazette, respecting the offers of large sums for the use of the Itaja's seal, and blank papers for his signet which had never yet, that he had seen, been attempted to be answered. (Hear, hear.) The lion. Praprietor near him ( Mr. Weeding), had talked of the indignation with which he had listened to his (Mr. Thompson's) charges against the Directors and their servants. He begged to assure the Hon. Proprietof that, had his indignation been ten times as fierce as it was, he should have borne it unscathed. " Let the galled jade wince, his withers were unwrung." (Cheers.) The lesson which that Hon. Proprietor was so anxious to inculcate, he (Mr. 'Thompson) woald commend to his own observance, which was, to give every man a fair hearing. He had much sympathy . with Government functionaries when accused, let him remember that, to the .sresent hour, the Raja had had no hearing. While that was the ease, let him be silent. As :or insinu ,lions on his (Mr. Thompson's) part, let it be noted that the lion. Proprietor had closed his own speech with a cruel and unwarrantable insinuation against the Raja. —( Hear, hear. Let him learn to do to others as he would be done unto, and not be surprised that, if the measure which he meted to others, was sometimes dealt oat to his own friends. After a few words from Mr. FIELDER, the motion was carried. Mr. SA LOMONS then moved that the Report of the Proceed ings of the Commission should be printed, together with the papers now called for.—Carried. CABOOL. Mr. WEEDING was understood to ask, whether the forces in the citadel, and those in the cantonments, had left Cahool. The CHA IRMA N swot in reply, as we understood, that Dr. Grant had arrived in Jelalabad. WAR IN AFFGHANISTAN. Mr. MONTGOMERY MA tiTIN said he held in his hand a mo tion of the greatest importance,and of the mast vital consequences, to India ; it was one also which excited the most painful interest in the United Kingdom. There was only one form in which he was at liberty to bring this motion ureter the consi deration of the Court—it was in a financial point of view—the expenses caused by the unfortunate war in Affghaiiistan. Ile had arrived at an unpleasant conclusion as to what would be the restilt of this war, from the statements made by the Right Hon. Gentleman who presided over the destinies dl thins coun try, and who expressed his regret that the vast expenditure of money had not received that attention which it ought to have done. It was even, in his (Mr. Martin's) opinion, the duty of the Court to consider the immense expense which had beets incurred, to present, if possible, the continuance of a state of things which must end in disappointment and vexation. The motion which he had to present was to the following effect : •` That it was the duty of the Court to watch the proceedings In India, more especially when there was a decrease of income. Resolved, therefore, that there be leid before the Court a statement of the yearly expenses caused by the war in Affghan istan, from the year 146.3 S to 1841 inclusive, as nearly as could be ascertained.' , He thought unless means were taken to cheek the expenditure, their revenue would be greatly decree.sed, and the situation of Proprietors of East India stock might not be so desirable as hitherto. Sir Robert Peel tine other eight pointed out the practical evils which must result to the revenue by this con. tinual drain on the Government. He (Sir R. Peel) said that they isight depend on it that the trade of India would be destroyed, and the disorganization of Indian finances would be collaterally felt In this country. He held in his hand a statement of Indian finance for the last few years froth it would be seen that the year ending May, 1836, there was a surplus of 1,520,0001.; in the year ending May. 1837, the surplus was 1,100,00(1. In the year ending May, .1838, the surplus was reduced to 625,0001. In the year coding May, 18:19, it was only 20,000/. In the year 1640 sides changed, and instead of being any snrplus, there was a debt of 2,414,0001., showing the expenditure of 5,000,0001. sterling during those few years. In 1841 the debt was increased to 2,314,0001., making a deficit of upward. of 7,000,0001.; and if it had been brought down to 1842. He believed they would have found a deficit at the very lowest of between 10 and 14 millions sterling. Was not that a serious position for the proprietors of East India stock to be placed in P and he believed that they could not find the means in India to meet these demands. It was correctly stated In the Bombay papers that 15,000,0001 had been spent in that country, and the papers in this country stated it at 17.000,000/., he had even heard it called 20,000,000/., but at any rate, from the statement of Sir R. Peel, there was a deficit of 10,000,0001. Mr. TWINING wished to know if Sir R. Peel state(' that. Mr. MARTIN said that the statements he had made use of he had taken from an article in the " purporting to be what had been said by Sir Robert Peel, but this subject involved another question, viz., the continuance of the war. There was not a doubt but that they were at present surrounded with difficulties, almost insurmountable. It was not his intention, however, to say anything which might to an unpleasentness of that House; his desire was that they should take steps to arrest the progress of this war, unjust in its origin, cruel in its progress, and disastrous in its results.—(Hear, hear.) It was not known who caused that war—it was not the Government in India, and certainly it was not the Court of Directors at home. R Was not known who caused it, but it must be ascertained who were the authors of it. Sir. SA LOMONS here rose to order. The CHAIRMAN then rose amidst ales of " Discretion." He said he believed the Hon. Gentleman was in order, but he would leave it to his discretion whether be would go on In the course he was pursuing. Mr. al ARTIN said this was a subject which might be discussed in Parliament at any time in stronger language than he should snake use of. There were periods when public discussion would lead to public good, and he thought this was one. This was a war which no British subject could look upon but with shame; and it would bring shame and disgrace on Great Britain. Mr. \Violets! said he thought the Hon. Gentleman's langu age r too strong—(Hear, hear)—and he (Mr. Wigram) fully concu rr ed ed or that with the Chairman in his expressions relative to the im propriety a this discussion. He thought it would he m uch better t he H orn. Gentleman should withdraw his meas u r e, and rest satisfied with having called the attention of the Court to it.
