Rumbald, who was implicated, was' in Eurepe and cer tainty co u ld n o t remain silent. Ile h a d no wish that any for malities shoultistand in the way of justice.- :They could not inter into this question without taking it altogether the wheir subject must be decided at once. If Palmer anti Co. had acted properly, then', ofcourse, no imputation wherever could rest on Noble Marquis. Those transactions required much cola - na4on; and there were Gentlemen now in his eye who had lieM high situations In India`, who had not screpled , to express their dislike to matters disclosed in those papers, in a very marked manner. He looked at this subject as one that required very grave consideration. lie denied the general doctrine, dot because a Gentleman called for papers which every man might road as well etc himself, he was bound to submit amotion,am them. lie would giye no opinion on these transactions, ex . cept on one point, on which he had made up his mind ; and that was, that the house of Palmer and Co. had been treated with a severity of which he did nut quite approve.--(Hear Mr.. D. Ktrixalitia said, as the lion. Gentleman did not mean to make a motion on this subject, he hoped he would not think him wantittein courtesy, if he brought forward a sub stantive proposition connected with it. The lion. Gentleman had, it seemed, made up his mind not to act'until he saw a publication with. his (Mr. liinnatrirs) name affixed tolt : but that publication would treat of concerns far larger and more ire portant than those of the Marquis of Hastings. Anerson who r.. , ati those papers must a b so l ve the Noble Mar quis from the slightest censure. lie meant, howev er , to bring them be %re time Court by many different motions, with which other persons would: be ,connected. The Marquis of Hastings was not the person chiefly interested : there were others who were most deeply so; and he would endeavour to find other Proprite-, tors who would join with him in calling a Court at a very early period, for the purpose of coming to a resolution on the Hydra. , bad papers.-..fiere the subject was dropped. A Quarterly General Court of Proprietors o East.ludia Stuck was held yesterday. DIVIDEND. The minutes of the last General Court having been read, The CHAIRMAN (W. ASTL:Lt., Esq.) moved that the Court do agree to a resolution of the Court of Directors of the 15th inst., declaring a dividend of 51 per cent. on the Company's C apital stock, for the half-year commencing on the sth of July last, and ending on the sth of January next.—Carried unanimously. MARQUIS OF HASTINGS. The CHAIRXAN stated, that in consequence of a letter wine] had been addressed to the Secretary by the Marquis of Hastings dated Malta, October 22, 1824, the Court of Directore bed come to a resolution to lay before the Proprietors certain other .papers to which the Noble Marquis had referred. These con sisted of dispatches from Bengal, in 1819, and also certain official statements made by Colonel Baillie. These documents were prepared, and would be printed, along with others, for the use of the Proprietors After sonic conversation as to the printing of the various' documents, Mr. R. JACKSON said, it was well known that an lion. Member behind the bar (Col. Millie) had moved for certain papers relative to Oude; but as the Hon. Director had been at a very considerable distance from town, he supposed that they had not yet been selected. Ile was extremely glad that the papers mentioned by the lion.

Greater candour and come plaisance, he must observe, could not have been shown, tintd was manifested throughout the proceedings in this Coen; by those Gentlemen who were called the friends of the Mar quis of Hastings. Let them still he so called ' • for, so long as he thought of the Noble Marquis as he did at present, he' should glory in that title. No application had been made it, the frientla of the Noble Marquis, that was• not at once con ceded. Six months had elapsed since an lion. Gentleman (Mr. D. Kinnaird) had made a motion, generally for papers. Another lion. Gentleman then called for papers relative to Hydrabad. When this was done, he, and his honourable friend, said, "In God's name produce them. We want to conceal nothing." The Chairman and his honourable colleague then framed a more comprehensive motion, which w a s agree d to .—.. Papers had, in consequence, been laid before them, and he re garded it as the bounden duty of the proprietors to proceed with as little delay as possible. . nutted& on those Ilydrabad papal.: They ought to decide at once, whether the Noble Marquis was 1 to live in a state of disgrace or of honour. lie was willing to call a Court, and to go into th e ilydrabati transactions, without waiting far any other papers. If the delay were much longer protracted, they ought, (vide ql4i, mite, to proceed with that subject. Colonel BAILLIE said, the Oude papers had not been moved for by hits,, but were, at e ldiesuggerition, called for by an honour able friend (Sir G. Robinson). Those documents did not de preciate the administration of the Noble Marquis in any degree. He (Col. Baillie) had, however, felt himself' called on, when a mOtion,was made for thepemplilee of the Noble Marquis, to declare that he. doubted the - correctness of some of the statement.; contained in it.

The Second point to which lie' referred was, where it was represented that the loan made. to the yialer way perfectly voluntary. Having been called on in Another place, he had pointed out the inconsistency of theone statement with the other. Such was his evidence before a Committee of the If oose of Commons. Ile believed no thraldom was ever te, tailded by the preview' Government, and therefore he sun ,porteei the call for those papers as the best method of ascertain met Menlo,. The cause of the delay in producing the papers WAsi obvious. They were voluminous, and it took much time to make the neettaaary selection.. Amongst diem, it should lie, recollected, were the proceedings of the resident at bucknow for seven years. Mr. R. JACKSON Reid, that he and his honourable friends stood on this ground, and this ground only—that, with a know ledge of the transactions connected with all those . papers, the Ccurt of Directors came to a resolution, as flattering as men could do, in favour of the Marquis of liastinge, which resolu_ tion was agreed to, and its contents echoed by the Court of Proprietors. On that rock he stood ; and if they published as many papers as would fill a waggon, it would not force him from that position. His Honourable Friend (Mr. J. Smith) admitted the general merits of the Noble Marquis ; but he had a doubt on the Hydrabad question. In his opinion, hoWever, nothing was discoverable in the Hydr a b a d papers t h at cou l d lead them to rescind the resolution they had already come to. hind any thing. occu r red s in ce t h e passing of that resolution which appeared derogatory, to the character of the Noble Lord ? If not, they were undoubtedly called on to dismiss the subject as soon as possible, and. to declare the. Noble Marquis innocent of any impropriety. Mr. Hume: said it appeared they had now before them every , thing that could be advanced to criminate, in any degree what ever, the Marquis of Hustings. They ought, therefore, to pro. evert immediately with the investigation. As the Lion. Ihrec_ tor (Col. Baillie) had resided so long at Gude, he had a right to call for documents that might.clear up any point connect e d with the Government there: hut as those documents were not • eriminatory of the Marquis of Hustings, their non.productien could afford no reason for delaying a decision on the Hydra_ bad papers, which were now before the Court. Ile should be glad to know, whether those who called for the Hydrabad CASE OF MESSRS. BUCKINGHAM AND A IWNOTT. papers meant to found any motion on them.

Mr. flu ME seconded the motion. ft was important for the public interest, and the interest of education, that the truth should be known. Me. BUTTERWORT H hoped the Hon. Gentleman would not require the names of the young men. Such a disclosure would be highly injurious. Mr. D. Kt NNAIRD said, certainly. ot.. He would do every thing to south misfortune—not to aggravate it. The CHAIRMAN stated front the report of the College Coun cil, that one pupil, who had bee n d etecte d i n certain disreputa ble transactions, had been expelled ; a second, whO had taken part in these transactions, had been rusticated for a twelve month; and a third, who had made assertions, which after wards appeared to have been wilfully false, was rusticated for a term. Mr. It. JacKew/ was proceeding to cOrnplain that those persons. who were expelled frem the civil service could not serve the Company in any'other capacity, - when he was informed by The AI It MAN that the practice Was altered. Such persons were now elegible to the military service. Mr. R. JACKSON said, the principle was a humane one.— He was glad the cruelty of the old. system was done away. Mr. II u ME said, it appeared from what.the Chairman stated, that a person who had forfeited his word was expelled, and could not enter the civil service, but yet he was admitted into the military service, where honour was every thing. it. Was stain and stigma on the whole service. The CHAIUSIAN said, in the case of the yoUng man alluded to, he was merely rusticated for one term , not . expelled. Th at punishment was deemed sufficient. Mr. D. KI N NA I It D said his object was completely answered: and he would withdraw his motion.
