The Premiums are payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly, en the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July; and sth of October, either of which several days constitutes the commence ment of the year to MEMBERS. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth of April next, should appear at the Office on or before that day. So various are the plans now before the public for effecting Assurance on Life, it may, at first sight, seem difficult to make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably 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 miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the Share or Stockholders. LIFE ASSURANCE Princes-street, Bank. 2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions between Share and Stockholders and the assured. 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the assured only. The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any,expensive system of adver tising rem ted to, yet its advantages have been so well appre. eiated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed 37,5001. In cOnsequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af fairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five years' standing have been reduced Forty-two and a- Half per cent.. A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained on application at the Office. RICHARD HEATHFIELD, Superintendent. Princes-street, Bank, Alarch 16, 1842. UNIVERSAL LIFE• ASSURANCE OFFICE, King .William-street. The rates of this Office are as moderate as is consistent with perfect security. Four-fifths of the prt - .fits are - divided amongst the assured, and may be applied either in reduction of the an nnal premium, or in addition tc the amount originally assured. It is itnportint that persons at present about to assure in this Office should 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., UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OFFICE, 1, King William-street, London. 't he 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 of 60 per Cent. was declared on the current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti cipation. Tha second division of profits was in May, 1841, when a similar reduction was again . declared.

SOLOMONS, Opticians and Aurists, during a professional experience of thirty yews, have had ample oppor tunities of verifying that the Organs of Sight and Hearing are sympathetically ratted to each other in such a peculiar manner, that when the former becomes imperfect the sense of hearing becom e s rapidly dull —this fact is admitted by sci. entific authorities, and must be observable by many thou. ants of itidivi..nals thus circumstanced—which is deserving the public's most serious attention.

It was in relation to the army in Cabool. The CHAIRMAN could not answer the Hon.

The CHAIIIMAti then said that the Court was made Special, or the*purpeee of laying before the Proprietors, agreeably to the Bye-law, cap. 10, sec. 1., a Bill now Wert, Parliament, entitled, " A-1301 for regulating the Carriage of Passengers in Merchant Vessels" (Colonial Passengers' BillA,. The only section of that Bill which at all affected the East India Com pany was the 41st, which he would call on the secretary to read. '1 he SECRETARY then read the 41st'seetion of the Bill, as fellows And be it emeted, that it shall .be lawful for the Governor-General of India, in Connell, from time to time, by any Act or Acts to he passed for that purpose; to declare that this Act, with such exceptions as are hereafter mentioned, shall extend and apply to the carriage -of passengers upon any voyage from any ports or places .-within the territories of the East India Company, to 'be spepified .described in such Act or Acts ; and also in like. manner to authorise the. substitution .es respects such voyages of other equivalent articles of food and provisions for those here inbefore (numerated, and to declare the rule of compu tation by which the length of any such voya ge • shall he estimated, and to confer the pcivvers hereiribefore con ' ferred upon Government agents, and colleetors and comp trollers of. the 'customs, wi;h respect to ascertaining the Sea-worthiness'of a ship upon such officers of the East India Company, as the Governor in Council may think proper, and from and after the passing of such Act or Acts of the Govern ment of India, and whilst the same shall remain in force this Act shall, with such exceptions, as are hereinbefore made as respects voyages from colonies, as apply to and extend to the carriage of passengers upon such voyages, as in the slid Act or Acts of the Government of India shall be specified." Mr. WEEDING had earefully.read the Bill, and cou'd con firm the statement of the Chairman as to that being the only clause of the Act which at all affected the natives of India. The subject was one in which that Court had always taken a deep interest. In July, 1838, it had been discus‘ed in that Court, and attain in June, 18-10 e In both instances the Court had come to a resolution to petition the House of Commons on the subject; and although he (Mr. Weeding) bad snore confidence in the regulations proposed in the present Bill for the protection of the naives of India, than he had in those which had formerly been' proposed, yet he thought that the Court, bef,,re it ssnetionedany . proposition for, the depOrtae tion of Hill CoollieS, Ought to be in possession' of - further in• formation. He should, therefore, move a resolution to the effect, that before the Court could come to any opi nion as to the justice or propriety of any plan for the de portation of the natives of India to the Mauritius, it was necessary that they should have further information , ott. the subject, and •that therefore the Court of Directors be re (posted to lay before the Proprietors copies of any despatches which may have been received from the Indian Government.in reference to thi4 subject; and alsre - eopiee of any orders refer ring thereto, which may have been issued by 'her Majesty in Council ; and also that the Directors be requested to obtain in formation as to the precise nature of any enactments which might be in existence in the Island of Mauritius, for .the pur pose of regulating contracts entered into between the labouring population and the agricultural and manufacturing proprietors of the said island, and to lay the same before the Court. —( Cheers.) He felt much obliged to the gentleman who was sitting below the bar (Mr. Hogg), for the admirable speech he had made on the subject in his place in Parliament, in reply to Lord Stanley, on the discussion 'of Mr. Vernon Smith's motion. That gentleman was entitled to their . warmest thanks, and he hoped that the Court of Directors had thanked him the first time they had met, after the delivery of his admirable speech. In his (Mr. Weeding's) opinion, it was inpossible to prevent the deportation of Hill . Coolies from degenerating ultimately into a slave traffic.—(Cheers.) If the Government would form a code of regulations for the Mauritius, compelling parties who brought natives of India into that Island to enter into a bond to a large amount to send theM back to the East Indies, in the event of work not being found for them or of their ill-treat ment, that would be more effeetual than all the complicated machinery which it was propoSed to introduce. After all, to what did that machinery amount to. It left everything in the hands' of the Governor-General. He might be a person having estates in the Mauritius, and might be interested in the deportation of these people. It behoved the Court to pause before they gave their sanc tion to any measure . for . the deportation of the natives of India. He certainly should have liked the ques tion to have been asked 'in Parliament, as to the cost of the Mauritius to the mother country. Now India did not cost Eng land anything,and it was unjust to transport the natives of India to the Mauritius. and to employ them there in the cul tivation of sugar, which 'would compete with Indian sugar in that' market. The population of Mauritius was• already sufficient to cultivate all the existing estates, and the Coolies could only be wanted for the purpose of reclaiming the wilderness, and turning a barren rock into 'a fertile. soil, at the expense of the industry of the natives of India. lie trusted the papers would be granted, and that a Court would be called for an early day,tai consider the subject. Mr. MPNTGO:AIEIiY MA4TIN seconded the m o ti on . He had ieconded a eimilar one ,in 1838, and in 1840. He held in his hand's de..patch of the Governor-Genetal of India, which he was assured not one half of the Proprietors had seen, and without a knowledge of- which it' was impossible to con sider this question. It. was a Report of a Committee of six gentlemen who sat at Calcutta to consider, the subject: three reported decidedly against permitting the de portation of Hill Coolies at all; one. gentleman had left India before the Report was drawn up ; an other, a Mr. Dowsen, was an agent for the emigration of these .Coolies, and therefore had a personal interest in the con tinuance 'of the system, and the last, a 31r. Grant, was an exceedingly young mart, too young to be able to form a compe• tent opinion on the subject. Lord Auckland had stated that great caution was necessary to prevent its degenerat ing ito a slave trade ; and if they permitted this deportation 'to take place . from British India, what was to preventthedeportation fromtakingplacefromPondicherry, llusquebar, and from the native ports a n d f ore i gn settle ments. It was impossible to foresee .t o w h at extent it might be carried, if the pr.neiPle w ere once sanc tioned there were hundreds of miles o f uncu l t i vate d ground in India, on which those Cooli es m i ght be em plosed, if they waned. emplovinent ; th ere f ore, i t was no hardship on them to prevent the deport a ti on. The subject was most important, and he had great pleasur e i n secon di ng the motion. taking n t t"rAnfe;.e to H t o h rre their l l ' a e bp o or r ue e ry r e E n tr tto o a hoped the C ourt would not i the 'th best m ar k et. Both Lorde Indian l a b ourers from John Russell and Lord Stanley were in favour of permitting the emigration of Coolies to the Mauritius. and the fears entertained . on the subject were groundless. The Governor of the fitauritius himself stated that o f 'ti l e Island the existing laws gave ampl e pro disinterested witness, the Ceo ies, and he was a disinterested witness, for he had, as he himself stated, gone out to the Island havissg a great distrust of the planters. He was very much identified with the party who had taken up the question so strongly in this country, and his testimony might be considered unbiassed from . the manner in which it was given. With regard to the opinitm of the natives them selves, they had heard that very many o f those who had returned to India had - applied to be sent back to the Mauritius. An investigation into th e circum stances had been instituted by Lo rd Auckla n d, an d t h e result had not been unfavourable to the e migration. Th e evi dence had been Lord Auckland, d, and many per so n s hadexpressedt sifte dhemse by f a vourable to it.lyes The Hon. Pro prietor then read some extracts from the evidence, goin ,, to prove the good treatment of the C ool ies , and concluded' by statmg that he should not move any amendment to the resolu tion, . but ,should leave it in • the hands of the Court to deal with it as they thought tit. Mr. G. Tno:ursori said he admitted the right of every British subject to the free exercise of his locomotive powers. He would not abridge erre individual of his per sona l lib erty, or deprive him to the smallest extent of hi s r i ght of choice. But with regard to the Hill Cooli es , or t h ose natives of India who came under that den om i na ti on , he thought they were persons scarcely in circu mstances to be able to exercise a sound and enlightened chore, From the moment permission was given by the O r d er in Council, some years ago, to import into the Island of Mauritius and. to De. o as m f e that h a c a r a a t r e of the urldiye r i asn l a s a i of Council, a a whichan possible s ho, l ibel had l spoke, pleasure the rescinding of that order , by a cou n t er - or d er o f Lord Gienelg. lie had a lso rejoiced over th e d efeat of a similar measure, when afterwards introduced by L or d J o h n , class w i a ptusokee' en with th e utmost do ho the working had watched Russell. They were called on that day again to consider the • et the Tioneurahi h e a t 14:oudegnilltetoraibatny who had just spites He had been in India eighteen years and s he, cool d t s o af h e a ly ve s t a h S ose th p a ra t etdesirable to 1 -4 t w he ul linn b . e G m e o n s t t le 7?e,elit an end to. He had no deubt that ie a strong representation had • '7l t . been made to the esteem, it would tend to the abolition of the inhuman custom practised by the Suttees. When they wanted V e s--4 5 e../ any benefit for themselves they were able to btain it, making strong requests, but when the object was to o put a stop to a most inhuman custom, they did not put forth any requests at erm-jarl9 ° - - I all. He believed the HinCloo women th emselves were most I anxious to get rid of the custom if they did not think they ware acting in opposition to the Bramhins. He thought the Court should make every exertion to put an end to the practiCes of the Suttees. Mr. WEEDING said that no sooner was a resolution come to, condemnatory of Suttees, than the Government:of India and the Council of India, in 1b29, declared it to be culpable homicide, to encourage Suttees in any shape. After that, he thought it v; as impossible that this Coutt could re f use to accede to the motion of the Honourable Proprietor, and he could not but imagine, therefore, that, if the Boni were to send o r d ers to their Council in India, requesting them to use every means, short of actual force, to prevent it, rich me.tuy would, no doubt, he attended with success. He know it was in the.r pewee to reeommera. any • • ' thing • dhe considered it to b e one o f t h e and dotes of a paren' al Government to call on them to put an end to such inhuman Free . tiecs ( Hear ) Ile thanked the Hen. Gentleman for bringing forward his motion, and he was, sure her elajesty's Government would lend them its aid in superesa hig this practice. —( Hear. ) The CHAIRMAN said that, in several of the native States, including Sattara, Nangpore, and others, Suttees had been entirely abolished at the desire of the Government.—( Hear. ) Sir J. linoaNT said that, from information wlech he had received 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 !colt on Suttee merely as a matter of history —a thing which had been, but which exis'ed no longer. Sir J. Carnac, a name known to and honoured by that Board, had addressed a remonstrance to several States on this subject, and an answer had been received from a Raja staticg that he should take means to prevent Suttees and burying alive. He thanked the Proprieeer 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. FIELDE r:. 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 HOW at any great length upon the subject. He regretted the strong expressions which had been ploye in the last discus s i on on t hi s matter ; he regretted that it h a il taken place, because he believed it had occasioned the painful necessity of bringing this matter again before the Board. He was unlit Elite; to go into the merits of the ease, and to provoke discus ion 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 Proprietois. He therefore moved that the whole 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 LODWICK said he rose to second the motion, that there might be no difficulty thrown in the way of the teodue tion cf the papers. He was then proceeding to explain •at some length certain charges against him which appeared had red in the Bombay Times, when The CHAIRMAN called the spea'ser tee order. He said the motion before the Board was for the papers ; he thought it was unseasonable for the Hon. and %Bent General to enter into any statements in defence of his conduct until those papers were produced.—( Hear. ) General LODWICK said the Hon. Proprietor (Mr. Fielden) had founded his motion upon what had appeared in a Bombay paper, and he ( General Lodwick) believed he had a right to reply to it. Ile knew there was an Hon. Proprietor in that Court who would call fora letter written by him on the 9th October, 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 be the time for the Hon. Proprietor. Sir J. Law LUSHINGTON 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 condnet 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 papors. If the Gallant General had any other motion to make it sveuld be quite distinct ; but at present he could only say, that if these papers were granted, then the Gallant General mid enter into a vindication of his conduct, which might be attacked in these papers. Mr. HUME said lie thought that the Gallant General had a most undoubted right to answer a charge made on his character at any time.—(Hear.) lie was warranted in doing so, nay, if he had not done an; he was sure there were individuals who would say it was a shame that lie had not attempted to do so. He (Mr, Hume) hoped, therefore, that the Gallant Proprietor might be allotted to go on.—( Hear. ) Mr. WICRAM 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 (Alr. Wigram's) opinion, he should have reeted.—(llear. ) Why did he go further, 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 a.sksed for certain papers, and the Directors had no objection to produce those papers—(Hear, hear)—but lie must submit to the Court that it would be better to wait for the production of those papers before they entered into any dis cussion as to the correctness of the statements in the Bombay newspaper.—(H ear , h ear . ) .11.1 r. LEWIS said, would the Court allow him to say that the mover of the resolution had just gone to a certain pint, 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 then 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 lie 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 him.—( 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.) lie only regretted that the ex-Raja had not been allowed a hearing.—( Hear, hear.') Mr. Hums said lie considered that there was a great deal of injustice in not allowing General Lodwick to yindieete his conduct.—( Hear,) He was glad, however, to hear 'sir. Weeding say that he would give every man a hearing ; but he would put it to the:. Gentleman, whether the ex-Raja tar Sattara had ever been adowed a hearing before the secret Commission ?—( Hear. hear ) And he would ask whether all the rapers on the subject had been laid before the Proprietors? He thougkt they had not.—( Hear. ) In looking into the papers which bad been been produced he found a great mane , 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 ease of the ex-Raja. After the unfortunate man, Govind Row, had been sent to prison,. because he would not make such a confession as the Commissioners required, be wee removed to the felons' gaol, where he was detained in (skive confinement. The CHAIRMAN said lie really thought that this was. quite irrelevant to the motion before the Court, and he woe id b eg . to remind the Hon. Proprietor that there was a great deal of business yet to go through.—( Hear. ) Mr. Hume sail, yes, lie dared to say that ihe Chairman because he knew what he (Mr. Hume) was; going to say, had called that irrevelant which lie (Mr. Howes called relevant— ( Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN explained that he judged of what Mr. Hume was going to say by what b":.: had already said. Mr. HUME continued—Gev;:n Row was taken then to Ah mednugger, and sixteen o .e,estions were put to him ; and it was said that there wee no hope of, obtaining anything from him sinless he was su v eieeted to solitary, confinement. He (Mr. Hume) therefore wished to know whether those papers which had come before the Court were the answers to those sixteen questiores, given when the ma n was i n " d urance vile, " and when what he did was to save his life ?—( Hear, hear.) The CRAtamAN said, that all the papers which had been received, 'by the Court of Directors had been laid, and in fu ture would be laid, before the Courts—( Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME then gave in a memorandum of those papers which appeared to be wanting. . Mr s SALOMONS moved that the whole of the papers con• meted with the Commission should be printed. Mr. TwlNtNc said, how many thousand pounds would it Cost? Board were actuated by what tkey believed to be their sense of public duty in their condiler respecting the individual whose rase he (Mr. S.) now wished to lay before the Court. The circumstances of it were there: Captain Charretie en tered the service of the Company when a young man. He ent through all the gradations in their service, till he at tained the rank of Commander. Ile cominsncled one of 4 1he Company's regular' ships during two voyages. A singular train of mi,fortuces 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. He (Mr. S.) on learning the nature of it had been so struck with the injustice that had been donelsim, that he had resolved to become his advocate and obtain, as he trusted he ultimately would, justice though late, though tardy, still justice for the man. The Court would bear 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 asset; the Court of Proprietors thought that it would be but right and equitable to provide for such of their servants as had formerly fulfilled their duties to the satisfaction of the Company. 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 of August, 1833, were entitled to compensation. Now, the ease of Captain Charretie turned upon the question whether he was in the service of the Company :n August,lB2B, and it was to show that he was, that he (.%lr. Salomons) now ad dressed the Court, and appealed to its judgment and decision. At the time that Captain Charretie was in command of the ship Bombay, he became the subject of a Court of Inquiry in India, in consequence of some disagreement having taken place on board that vessel between some of its officers and officers of the army. The result of the inquiry was the honourable acquittal of Captain Charretie. When .he re turned to this Country questions similar to those upon which his' acquittal had been pronounced in India were raised, and notwithstanding that honourable acquittal, an in quiry 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 satisfy themselves that their officer had not acted improperly. Pending this inquiry it was understood that Captain C. could not take the command of a ship, and he was not finally declared eligible to a command till February, 18 , 29, six months after the period which was fixed as the commencement of the time en titling 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 applicationlwas 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. trol, 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 found it very difficult to get a ship. Ile (Mr. Salomons) would lay before the Court a paper which would enable them to enter into the facts of the case much better than he cluld state them. Ile would first, however, read some extracts from he " Report and .Resolution of the Committee and Court of question, and he did not see any eircum.tancrs that induced him to alter his opinion. He should be glad to extend to the natives of India the largest possible measure of liberty-- he should rejoice to see them able to tetter their circumstances by going either to the colony of Mauritius, or to any other ).ortibn of the British dominions. But he had yet to learn that they did better their circumstances by so emigrating; he had yet to learn that they were able to judge on their ive soil of the circumstances in which they 'were to be placed w h en t h ey ..g4t.lis.,the distant country. In the first place they were ignorant of the language of the parties who urxed them to cmigrate, and ignorant of thelanguage of the country to whi c h they went, whethe r it was British Guiana, the Mauritius, or any other part of tho world. They were ignorant of naviga thin, and of the situation of climates and colonies ; they were ignorant of the kind of work they would be cal ed on to do ; igno rant of the particular nature of the contracts they entered into; and more titan all, they were ignorant of the arts and strata gems of the planters, as individitaliland the practices of the Colonial Councils, Assemblres,.and Governors of the country to which they went. He, unhappily, was not ignorant of those prat flees, and he could not look back without horror on the dreadful scenes that had occurred at Demerara, and the scenes enacted in the island of Mauritius, nor could he look forward to a re newal of those scenes without exceeding apprehension, for he had not been put in possession of any arguments, which showed him that there would• be a sufficient safeguard thrown around these individuals for the preserratipt of their liberty on arriv ing in the Mauriqus - or the other colonies, or to enable them to return to their own country if they should be uncomfortable in their circumstances. There was also another feature about this question lie believed that the greaterportion of those im ported from the British possessions in India were males, and he knew that boils in the Mauritius and Den:mien, im morality had been extended to a very frightful extent by the importation of an immense number of male la boUrers, unaccompanied by. any females. There was a fearful disproportion of the sexes, inasmuch, as on the sugar plantations, male labourers were more in request than females. Over the island of Mauritius also, the 'Govern. ment had less control; it was more unmanageable; they knew less about it than any other colony. From all he could learn with respect to that colony, they could exercise but a slight control indeed over the influential inhabitants. They knew that of all their fellow-subjects, the inhabitants of that colons , had been the most rampant and eontumaciouS and he had heard nothing of th e c o l on y w h ic h would' lead him to rejoice at an importation into it of their fellow-subjects front any part of the world. Un der these circumstances, he felt called on to exer cise his influence to protect these unenlightened, ignorant men, and they would permit him to say, that it was a reflection on this Court—it was a reflection on the Government of India, it was a reflection on the Supreme Government in this country, that there should exist in India a necessity for men engaged in the growing of sugar and rice to emigrate at all or to seek for leave to live as a boon in any part of the world. He regretted that they should be obliged to leave their native country, tempted only by the miserable prospect of obtaining that which they ought to be able to obtain on their native soil._( Hear.) 1-le had not that love for the colony of the Mauritius which would induce him to put in jeopardy the comfort and happiness and morality of the Hill Coolies, by sending them to that island. He cared nothing for the fate of that island ; there w e r e o ther places in the world where the natives might grow sugar, surrounded by their wives and families and their childien'avhildren, and under the immediate protection of amore merciftil Government than that which Mauritius had ever known, down to this moment.—( Hear, 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, yet 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 pleased, 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. lithere were anything. in the papers asked :or 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 wh ch they had some control, he would hold up fifty hands, if he had them, in favour of it. He 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 had had their•day ; he was not going into what the proceedings of that day had been, but lie 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 their present prosperi. y, and the labourers enjoy. ing, the it independence in the freedom of their own mountain grounds; it was a proof of :he beneficial effects of emancipa tion. But he should also rejoice to see such a necessity in this country for an enlarged growth 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 world be but a second editiorrof the 13111 of Lord J. Russell, which was de feated some ses=ions 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 into' eats of India—rather than of the interest of a few comparatively insignificant spots of our empire.—((fear, hear.) For this reason he would say, l e t them pause; he did not condemn the B 11 in tote, but he ob jeeted 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 lastman'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 for 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, that they should have placed before them all, the information it was in the power of the Court to demand; and eta future time, when they were in possession of that information, they might renew the consideration of the question, and coma to a deliberate, enlight• oiled, and satisfactory conclusion. The CHAIRMA N 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 court 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 reasonable measure 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 sum mone d at as ear l y a period as possible to take the subject into.consideration." Mr. SA tomoNs 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 ef their being sent to foreigniands to fill.the places of slave-labourers. 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 hive the papers moved for 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 tbs.. Legislature when it re-assembled after the Easter recess. He (Mr. Salo. mons) had two objections against the deportation of the Hill Coolies from their satire place. One was an Indian ob jection, the other an English 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 be bent fitted by the importation of even a small number of those labourers, yet the surplus 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 obtection 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 be 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 have all the papers before them, endue whether any modification could be introduced in the Orders in Council referring to the matter. Let them see, at all events, that the liberty and the health of those labourers be provided for. He 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 other documents might be furnished in addition to these moved for, the words " also any despatches of the Court of Directors referring thereto." He also proposed to add, in compliance wit li the suggestion of the Hon. Proprietor, the following words at the conclusion of the motion, " and that the Court be sum moned at the earliest period possible, to take this subject under consideration." There was no one more sensible d the im portance of the subject than. he (the Chairman) and his col leagues were. They had, for some time past, paid 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. Tiinstesosr and AIr,'W IDoiNG, in support of the sugges The CHAIRMAN said it was merely a que s ti on o f expense, and if the Proprietors entiseined to have them p r i nte d , the Di. rectors, of coarse, wou ld no t o ff er any opposition to their being's°. Th e motion, in its amended form, was then put from the chair and carried. ireetors 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 28th 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 Charrietie com manded was cleared on the 14th of May, 1828, ard 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 which took place in India, regarding tho conduct of Captain Charretie toe ards the military on the outward voyage, his eligibility for a future command wail not determined un it 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 would have ob tained the command of the Vansittart, and would consequently have been employed within the prescribed 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 ( f February 1829, at which period Captain Charritie net 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 floaiini.7, was m)proachine, l The time fixed for the floating of the ship was the sth March." The next extract was.--" Your Committee having called upon Captain Charretie fur further explanation, he has forwarded a letter from the managing owner Of the Vansittart (tlr. Hare), 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 deciled by the 20th February, that Captain Scott should succeed him, 'the delay in the presenta tion of Captain Scott being occasioned by the Court not having previously accepted Captain D.drymple's resignation.' He has likewise forwarded a certificate from Messrs. Scott, Fairlie and Co. (who held a majority of shares of the Vansit talt, 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 arc 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.' " The resolution to which he (Mr. Salomans) asked their con currence was as follows : " Your Committee being of opinion that the circumstances 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 compensation, 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 he was now adopting. Ile bagged leave, before he proposed the motion, to hand into the Court the testimony of several officeis and shipowners, as to the opinion they entertained of Captain Charretie. The Hon. 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 con cur in the view taken by the Court o f Directors of Captain Char etie's claim, that as a special case he is entitled to maritime compensation." Mr. FIELDER said that he 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 .ear. 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 provis:on 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. Ho 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 209/. a year from April 22,1834. lie did not w ish to say anything disrespectful of the Board of Commissioners, but ho was sorry to see that they gave no r •won for the decision they came to, which was a practice at variance with what took place in every department of the country. He 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. WermiNc saiith it he considered the delay in the case originated with the Court, for which Captain Charretie could not be made responsible. Ile therefore thought he was entitled to full compensation. An How. PROPRIETOR said that every military manwas 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 kis allowance.. Sir T. CalipEr.i. 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 judement,, and had secured the pro perty which others conimitted to his care, under the most dim. cult circumstanaes. Seeing that he had never wavered in the Company's service, he thou g ht hi m ent i t l e d to compensation. The CHAIRMAN said the Court of Directors had no wish to oppose the motion, which was then put and carried unanimously. SUTTEES. Mr, MARRIOTT said that the motion of which he had given notice was founded on a statement taken from the United Ser vice Gazette of October, and which afterwards appeared in the Asiatic Journal for December, p. 344. The Hon. Pro.. prietor then read the extract, giving an appalling account of the destruction of a suttee in lolna. The Court had heard enough of those horrid practices, and they were aware that since the Administration of Lord William 13entinck they had been abolished in their own dominions, but they still continued in the territories of the native princes, and he believed it on l y requ i re d strong repre sentations on the part of the Court of Directors, to have them abolished in the dominions of those princes also. —( Hear, hear. ) The Hon. PropriOtor below him (Major Oliphant), was well acquainted with those horrid practices which he strongly con demned) and it had been obserYed 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 the rn*elves on the funeral pile. The Hon. Pro prietor then referred to the publication of Sir. Grant on the snlieet; which was written in the year 1792. There was no question now as to endangering their empire by an extensivd 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 de sirous 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 not occupy the time of the Court. The Hon. Proprietor then moved The CHAIRMAN said, it would he a great expense. Mr. HuatE 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 nothing.—( Hear, hear. ) A DIRECTOR said, he thought it would be proper that the question, as to what papers should be laid before the Pro prietors, should 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, be just so much waste paper.—( Hear, and a laugh,) Mr. HumE 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. Lewis 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 wool.: ask, lisp was the previous conduct of the Court to be reconciled with an accordance to this motion. When the Raja of Sat a.ra applied to be allowed to vin dicate his 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 th a t p roper l y t o carry t h e mot i on i nto effect, every letter which had been written to the Board of Di rectors, whether from Mr. Willoughby, or General Lodwick, or Col. Oven's, would be presented to the Court. He would therefore move, or he would rathcr 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, datel December, 1837, and another dated October 9,1840, from General Lodwiek, should be laid before the Court. The motion was then carried. Mr. G. TIIO3IPSON •said that, as the motion before the Court referred to the production of papers, he begged leave to mention cue 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 th e h an d s o f hi s 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 he a complete and impartial record cf 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, he (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 he permitted to observe that in his opinion a more garbled assort ment nt evidence was never published than that which was contained in the .first Blue book.—(Hear, hear.) Had the Directors done their duty honestly in the first instanrer the necessity of motion after motion for other papers_ would net have existed.—(l - fear, hear.) M uc h had th b e r: said of the justice of letting absent parties speak for de selves and he therefore trusted that those . posed the Raja would not deny t o the injured time of their arts an oppportunity of planing tu t s by the Raja explana tion before the public.

He ( Mr. 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 " That the Honourable Directors be requested, in the case of the Suttee which was lately permitted in the territory of the Nizam, and in all cases of a similar nature, t o recommend to the fo re i gn ru l ers th e immediate abolition of that inhuman and sanguinary rite, as the same has already been effected in the dominions of the Honourable Company." Major OLIPHANT said that as his name had been mentioned, he would make a few observations in seconding the motion
