DUTILS IN INDIA. PR ICE 7D. terms in which it was drawn up. It was, he thought,- a piece of bad taste for the Court of Directors to pass an eulogium on their' own liberality.—(Hear.) General TnotiNToN supported the motion. Sir C. FostnEs also supported the motion, but denied what had been asserted by his lion. Friend (Mr. Hume)=-that.Lord Hastings was the greatest Governor-General, that India ever saw. He re ferred, as a proof of the truth of his position, to the administration of the Marquis Wellesley, whom he considered the preserver of our Indian empire. It was by his energy that the machinations of Scin dish, of the Peislivva, andof "biker, were effectually defeated. And what, he asked, had they done for that Noble Marquis ? He had, at the taking of Se ringapatam, been offered 100,0001. to be deducted from the value of the ord nance an d s t o res captured there; but lie would not t a k e one sixpence of it, because he considered th at t h e arm y alone had a right to it. Afterwards h e w as a ll ow ed the interest of that sum, which was t o b e con tinued to him during the existence of the Company's charter and the preservation of the monopoly. The lion. Bart. then adverted to the administration of the Marquis of :Hastings, which he highly eulogized, especially with respect to his financial a rra ngements.. In that particular the Noble Marquis certainly was the greatest GOvernor-„General that India hail ever sseii. When he artived ii? India, the Company's paper was at a ,discount of 15 per cent.; but when he left that country, it was at a premium of nearly 40 per cent. —(Hear !)—ln conclusion, the Hon. Baronet sug gested 'the propriety of erecting a statue of the Noble Marquis in that Court.—(Hear !) Mr. D. KINNAIRri took the same view of the sub ject that Mr. Hume had previously done. , He severely, censured the terms of the motion, rather than sign which, he said, lie would suffer his right hand to be cut off. He described the public abili ties and the private virtues of the late Noble'Mar qUis •in a very impressive manner. r If the Noble Marquis had impoverished his fortunes, it should be recollected that he had not done so in the pursuit of selfish objects. No, he had expended it in the most splendid hospitality this country had ever known— hospitality bestowed on those, who, in consequence of the French Revolution, were driven to seek re ' fuge in this country. •He endeavoured to throw around them a shadow at least of that regal dignity which they had once possessed, and of which they had-been deprived. It was said, that thelate Mar quis and his lady received theinterest of the sum which had,been formerly voted by the Court. He, how ever, could pledge himself to the fact, that they had jointly disposed of their interest in the grant, to enable the Marquis to proceed to India, to administer the affairs of the Company. Mr. ASTELL opposed the motion. He contended, that the services of the late Marquis of Hastings had been sufficiently rewarded, when, in 1819, a grant of 60,0001. was voted to him, whiCh the Noble Mar quis himself described as being " a princely gift." That sum was placed in the hands of trustees, and was specially guarded for the benefit of him and his family. The last speaker had stated that the in terest; id this'6o,ooo/. hail been sold, and he wished it to be inferred that it was sold on account of the difficulties of the Noble Marquis, when he went out to India in 1811... But; that was not the fact. It was sold on the Noble Lord's return from India. . Mr. WIORAM concurred with his Honourable Friend (Colonel Astell) in his view of the case. He •would therefore Oppose the motion. ;;, Mr. CAMPBELL 'said, that the chief difference with respect to the grant seemed to be as to the mode of conferring it. It was said that it was given to the family of Lord Hastings, but if not given for , the services of the Noble Marquis; he could not see why the Court should give a sum to that Nobleman's family, more than to any other. He looked upon it as given for the Noble Lord's services. Those services were the ground of the grant—consideration for the circumstances of his family was the motive. He thought those services fully deserved the grant, and he would therefore readily tote for it. Mr. PATTISON supported the motion. Mr. STUART supported the motion, but not on the ground of any farther grant being called for in con sideration of Lord Hastings', services. Those ser vices had already been most liberally rewarded, as was admitted by the Noble Lord himself. Taking into consideration the prize-money to which Lord Hastings had become entitled, he was more amply rewarded than either Lords Cornwallis or Wellesley. The grant now before the Court was to be given to the Noble Lord's family, and not for the cause assigned by some Proprietors. _ _ . _ The CHAIRMAN, in explanation, said that at first a sum of 5,0001. a-year, for 20 years, was proposed for the Noble' Lord, but that subsequently that was changed into a grant of 60,0001., which, in fact, was less than the value of an annuity of 5,0001. for 20 years. The sum given to the Marquis of Wllesley was much greater. Sir J. DOYLE said, that the prize-money to which the Noble Lord had become entitled was the grant Of the King, not of that Court. The Court might as well take credit - for the Noble Lord's having got a prize in the lottery, if such a thing had occurred. Mr. D. KINNAIRD said, the payment of the prize money had been delayed so long, that there was an accumulation 'of interest' accruing in India which would swallow it: up, and he believed the Noble Lord's creditors would never derive any benefit from it. Colonel DOYLE feared that the distribution of the priic-Money would be protracted. This was chiefly the fault of the officers commanding regiments, who s h a a n d li ei d r delayed I rT a o y ßu e iA d oN sending sg atae ho t his v ot e l i vltoi t ot l e i n e efod p : ie i:zyhe:ol the h onourab l e lie Chairman. The CHAIRBIAN said, with respect . to the prize money, Det v h . eaKr t yit KINNAI Court RD facilityto Directors earliest o said, that statement would be received with much satisfaction by many parties in terested. . . . The question was then put and carried in the affirmative, with only four dissentient voices (two within the bar and two without.) ixraNsits OF GENERAL COURTS AND BALLOT. General Tiioß yrox was about to submit a mo tion for an account of the ext►ences of an extra Special'Court, 'end also of the expenses 'of a ballot, but he was informed by the Chairman that the ex_ pence of the former was la., and that of the latter 151. _ _ _ General THORNTON expressed himself satisfied with this information, and withdrew his motion. Captain MAXFIELD rose for the purpose of sub mitting a motion on the subject of the late imposi tion of stamp duties in. Calcutta and the provinces. The Hon. Member contended that the Order in Council was not strictly legal, and that even if it were legal to impose the tax, the Act gave no power to tax ad libitum a country not represented in this. lie contended that the tax on law stamps was, in many cases, most oppressive, and though its object was said to be to check litigation, yet it had the.ef feet, in man y cases , of being a denial of justice to the poor. The Hon. Proprietor, after observing that the tax went not only to law proceedings, but, by the decree of the Governor in Council, was ex tended to mercantile transactions, was about to read to the Court the petition of the merchants, European and Native, of Calcutta, to the Deputy- Governor in Council, against the tax, when The CHAIRMAN observed, that it would not be quite regulqle s itubsiti c ittlw of the Court a document on which they could not act, as it had not yet cottaipilicially before them. - Captain MAXFIEO3 said, he would read the peti tion as part of his speech. The CHAIRMAN did not wish to prevent him, but he did not see how it would forward his object. As the petition had not yet been officially contrail , nicatod to them; they could take no notice of it. - Mr. Music agreed that this must be the case. He wished to know whether the regulation of 1826, imposing the duty, had been submitted to and sanc tioned by the Directors, and whether the Govern ment of Bengal had transmitted any communication respecting the petition of the merchants of Calcutta to the Council, against the stamp duty ? • The CHAIRMAN said, the Court of Directors had received and sanctioned the order for the imposition of the, tax. They lind not yet received any official notice of the petition. Mr. HONE strongly condemned the native Go vernment fig the delay in transmitting so important a document. Mr. WIGRAst saisl,it was unfair to assume that the Government had &ti prfe sse d the petition. The last accounts from India - were dated in April, and the pkition vas sent in the end of March. As the Go vernor-General was absent from Calcutta, it was fair to assume that the Government had not had time to come to nay decision on the petition. After a few words from 111 r. Ht7AIE and Captain MAxneLo, the motion was withdrawn, but a notice of motion en the - fitih l ject was given for the next General Court. IMMIGONAIENT FOR 1)11 * 54 IN INDIA Colonel L. STANHOPE gave no: 4,:e of a motion on his subject for the next General Courb—Aturned. A SCENE AT A FRENCH INN. A company of English gentlemen, one belong ing to the military, anotber to the navy, a third a merchant, and the last, a sort isinelitlescript, con spired together at Boulogne, to accomplish a journey to St. Omer, for the purpose of seeing his Majesty Charles X. Mier a variety of ad ventures they penetrated the,ancient town of St. Omer, on the very . Sunday evening when the King was to make his public entry. They drove . to an auberge, and agreed with the landlord to hire four beds in a single room, and to pay so much by the night ; They remained on Sunday night, and had the pleasure of witnessing ,his Majesty's arrival, and as they thought enough was as good as a feast, they made preparations to return next day to Boulogne. They called for the bill. " Oh, oh," says the landlord, " you agreed to stop for four nights." " Four nights! why how can that be, our carriage is hired for only two days, we must return to-day or pay an extra sum." The landlord was willing to listen to reason, but the landlord's lady was not quite so placable. A French woman, tin a downright passion, certainly has the advantage of a great number of those peculiar sights which are not to be described ; for she is neither to be described nor conceived. The sibyl was absolutely destiDed by nature to distil gall and wormwood from lies' tongue. Her eyes were not merely fiery—they were two furnaces which seemed to glow more ardently from under a pair of dark and dense eye brows. She insisted on being paid for four nights' lodging. The husband, on whom reflection began to operate, relented, and in the course of the Monday, consented to reduce his claim to one half, that is, to the amount of two nights' lodgings. " Very well," said the visiters, " if we pay you two nights, we stop two nights." The husband grew again unreasonable—the wife tempestuous, and forth went the whole panty to a police office. The Commissary was not at the office, and the English agreed to a reference, selecting a couple of the Commissary's men as the arbitrators, and ,all returned to the inn. Here the case was dis cussed without the slightest attention to regu larity, and the result was that the two nmpires, differing in their judgments, fell foul of each other. Between the jabbering of the Frenchmen and woman—between bad English and worse French, that proceeded from the amateur lawyers on all sides—the scene was such as to 'remind one of the times of revolutionary anarchy. Lo, in the midst of the horrid din, the august Commissary himself appeared surrounded by satellite gensdarmes. In an instant, the storm was laid—tumirli cequora placat. The func tionary is rather a small man, but possesaing a very large soul—with a gravity worthy .asf, the Star-chamber, he strode into the room and. solemnly opened a Court of Inquiry there. Now the apartment which had thus the good fortune to be converted into a temporary Court was the identical four bedded room in the occupation of the English. The Commissary had to take his seat upon one of the beds, whilst the gendarme held the only candle that lighted the apartment. The room was now nearly filled, and the Com missary, putting on his hat, ordered the landlord, the plaintiff, to come forward and state his ease. His case was, that the four strangers came to his house on Sunday evening, took his room for four nights, and that• ho was now entitled to be paid for four nights, whether they Englishmen. — nu ' c ' h Ye i s n ; de e d. went or stayed. The Commissary jumped ,, off the bed—" The matter is clear, says he ; " these gentlemen must, pay y ou f or four nights."—" Is that your decision, Sir ?" in quiredare you ~, to make ~ Why so r ---" We have an old fashioned no tion in England, that there can be no harm in You one a o t f the surprised -,-."

" Now, Mr. commissary," . he observed. " will you be so good as to resolve me this ques tion—if the landlord entitle d was to charge four nights, why did eh ' consent to charge for only . two ?"-.5.“ Ha, ha! I see," exelaiMed the Coins missary--," a y e ...... 7w h y did you charge for only two ? why diminish your claims ?" and jumping off' the bed a second time, the man of office de clared a second time, that tlia, case was quite clear, only in an opposite way to what it was before; and the. English party remained the two order of the nights in all, and by Commiss ar y,. paid for only twe nights. . Before the morning, the fiery, vituperative plaintiff was turned into the smoOth-tongued cap : in-hand landlord ; and, is the English were leaving the inn, they never law such apparent symptoms of disinterested re 4ret as were manifested by the diplomatic Boni race for their departure.

A Quarterly General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was Meld yesterday. HAILEYBURY AND ADDJSCOMBE. The minutes of the last Court having been lead, The CHAIRMAN (the. Hoi. IL 'Lindsay) ac quainted the Court that, agreeably to the resolutiong Qf the General Court, in the , months of April and July, .1807, certain papers, relative to. the. Com pany's College at Haileybury, were .now laid before the Proprietors. Mr. D. KINNAIRD inquired whether, within the last two or three years, some individuals had not been sent out to India without having received instruc tion* at the College? • The CHAIRMAN answered that, under the new Act .of Parliament, eight individuals, not educated at Haileybury, had been sent out to India ; and, at th e examination, which was then approaching in th at House, others, if found properly qualified, would also proceed to India. • An account was then laid before the Court of the number of cadets whose petitions had been agreed to, and those whose petitions had been rejected, (f or entrance into the seminary at Addiscornbe) from Dec. '1826, to June; 18 , 27. The - nurnb_er' off iptlet-4 sent W t - Ta:the last year as—for - the cavatCy, 326; for the infantry, 192; and there were, - for the sante time, 399 appointed to the Military Seminary. Mr. HumE wished to know.the expenC e w hi c h . the Company sustained by this establishment ? Tha Clerk stated that the total expellee was -8,407/. 9s. 9d.; the average expense of 145 cadets 57/. 19s, 7d. Mr. llumE strongly impressed on the Court of Directors the necessity of giving , to all the cadets, before they prOceeded to India, such an education as would ,enable them to execute their important duties with efficiency. The CHAIRMAN said, the Hon. Proprieto r mus t be aware of the number of "cadets Which the semi nary at Addiscontte could atpreSent contain. It could not hold a sufficient number of cadets to meet, the de mand. It became, therefOre, a, matter of serious consideration, whether the' Company should under.; . gb the expence of educating at Addiscombe all the cadets necessary for the service ? Mr. D. KINNAIRD thought the observation of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hume) deserved attention. It was, in.his opinion, but reasonable and fair that an examination of the cadets should take place before they went out. GRANT TO SIR A. CAMPBELL. The CHAIRMAN acquainted the, Court, that it was made special for the purpose of submitting, for con firmation, the resolution of the. General Court of the 20th of June, approving the unanimous resolution of the Court of directors of the 23d May last,7grant ing to Major-General Sir Archibald Campbell, G.C.8., a pension of 1,000/. per annum on the grounds therein stated. He then put the question, " That the Court do confirm the said resolution." . Mr. HuatE requested to know whether any thing had been done for the other officers who had been engaged against the Burmese ? They were now pro viding for the individual who .had directed, with energy and success, the operations of the Company's army, arid he was desirous to learn whether any de cisive resolution had been come to, for the purpose of rewarding those who had fought under that gallant officer, or whether a proposition of that nature was .under consideration. The CHAIRMAN answered, that the Bengal Go yiernment had agreed that a reward of three mouths? batta should lie paid to such put of the army as had been employed in Ava tinder 12 months, and that to such portion of it as had been engaged in that coun try beyond 12 menthsi six months' batta should be allowed. When this was notified to the Court of Directors, they came to a resolution to double-the amount.—(Hear.) Therefore, those who served in Ava under one year, were to receive six months' batta, and those who served more than a year, 12 months' batta.—(Hear.) The amount of this gra tuity considerably exceeded the sum which was paid by the Burmese in the first and second instalments. Mr. Ilumu inquired whether the relatives of those who fell in that struggle received the same benefit from this donation as those who survived ? The CHAIRMAN answered, that the relatives of those who were employed in Ava, and who died there, certainly participated in the grant.,--(Hear.) Captain 111 - niFIELD asked, whether this gratuity applied to the marine as well as the army ? The CHAlRMAN—Previously to the navy being employed on this service, they had a .batta allowed to them, which the army had not. Therefore the former did not now participate in this benefit. - The butte :was . granted to the navy expressly on the ground of their proceeding on a foreign service. Captain MAXFIELD supposed that the Hon. Chair man's statement applied to the Bengal, and not to the Bombay marine. The CHAIRMAN—The officers all received pre cisely the same batta, from the beginning of the war to its conclusion. The motion was then carried unanimously. STAFF-CArTAIN AT ♦DDISCOMBE. The CHAIRMAN then informed the Court, that it was made further special, for the purpose of laying before the Proprietors, for their approbation, in con formity with, the 'l7th section of the 6th, chapter of the by-laws, a resolution of the Court of Directors of the 20th ofJune last, for the appointment of a Staff- CaPtain tole attached to the Military Seminary at Addiscombe, with an allowance, of lbs. per diem as pay, and a further allowance of 261. ss. per annum in lieu of diet. He then moved, " That the Court do approve of the said resolution, subject to the con firmation of another General Court." Mr. 1 - lumE expressed his regret, that when an effort was. formerly made to discover the expence of the establishment at Addisconibe, the salaries of the professors and .other civil officers were only put down, while those, of . the military part of the esta blishment were omitted. Three years ago, there was laid before the Court an account of the expense incurred for the civil professors, which appeared to be 4,6001. Now, he .wished, in addition to that, to know what was the expence of the military esta blishment ? The Clerk stated, that-the expellee the public E x aminer, Lieutenant-Governor, orderly officers, non-commissioned officers, Br.t., from Midsummer, .1826, .to Midsummer, 1S 7, was 7,8561. 10s. Bd. • M r . HUME said, when he looked at the paper in his hand, and saw, from year to year, a consider able increase of expence in this department—when he saw it advancing from 1,500/. or 1,600/. till it was now 7,000/. or 8,000/.—it appeared to him that they ought to be cautious lest they should overstep that fair remuneration to which those attached to the seminary were entitled. It was possible for them to be more than paid; and therefore it would be always better to have a general detail, stating the expence of the military as well as de partment, when papers on this subj ect were l a id before the Court. _ _ the civil 1 The CHAIRMAN said, if the HOD. Proprietor Would take into consideration the great increase of persons no w received into this seminary at present, as com pared with former years, he must see that • the cx pence was not too great. There had been an in crease of no less than 60 in the last two years. The whole institution cost the C ompany but 8,4071. Mr. HUME said, if 8,4071. wa s . sti fo c i ent f or •the education of WO boys, three times that sum would educate .every cadet who went out to India annually, and lie certainly did, not: think that an object, when So desirable an improvement wmi in view. Th e motion wits Op agreed to unanimously. GRANT TO THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS. - The . CHAttlin4N.. : said, he. had next to acquaint the Court, that it. was made. further . special, for the purpose of laying, before the Proprietors, for their approbation, a resolution of the Court of Directors of the 3d of August last, granting : to the present Marquis of Hastings . the sum of 20,0001., on the grounds therein stated- • ,-. The resolution of.the Court of Directors was then read. It set forth, in substance, that it would con duce to keep up the high character of the East India Company for liberality, not to suffer the representa tive of a noble family, from, the late head of. which they had received such signal benefits, to remain in a - state of embarrassment. They. therefore .recom mended that the sum of 20;0001. be vested in trus tees for the use of the Marquis of Hastings, mid to enable him, when of age, to take Possession of his paternal mansion. The CILAIIiMAN Said he felt great satisfaction in stating to the General Court, that the resolution of the Court of Directors had been signed by nineteen members of that body. He did not mean by that to state, that it was an-unanimous resolution ; but be *as quite7sure that those Directors whO . differed opinion from the majority, were actuated by as honourable and proper motives as those gentlemen who agreed to the resolution.--(llear.):-,After the return of the late Marquis of Hastings to England, he was appointed Governor of Malta, and he died in the discharge of the duties of that important situa tion. In the course of the last year their late Chair.i man, Sir G. Robinson, brought before the Com ; mittce of Correspondence the state in which the ! family of the Noble Marquis was placed at his death, for the purpose of proposing some mark of appro.• ' bation of the services of that Nobleman. The pro position underwent some discussion in the Com: mittce of 'Correspondence; and some difference of opinion was manifested. In consequence of that difference, the subject was not brought under the notice .of the Court of Directors. Shindy after be (Mr. Lind Say) had the honour to be placed in that chair, he gave notice to the Court of Directors, that it was . his intention to bring befere the Court the services 'of the late Marquis of Hastings, for the purpose of affording some aid to his family. He should briefly state what . hekneiv Of the circumstances of the Noble Marquis, and he hoped that salletment would induce the Court to concur in the grant. He had an en- . tailed property of about 4,000/. a year, and nothing but the bare boards of two mansions. The property of the late Lord Hastings' was placed in a situation of so much difficulty as rendered it impossible for the preSent Marquis to avail himself of the furniture and personalties belonging to his mansions, and which were necessary to enable hiM to live in them. They were subject to pecuniary obligations con tracted with the • creditors of the late Marquis.. It was therefore with the object of relieving those ap purtenances belonging to the two houses, that he proposed the presentgrant to the Marquis of Hastings. By doing so he should hope that-the Noble Marquis would be enabled to live in one of those mansions, and to receive his mother and sister in the other. The Hon. Chairman then proceeded to expatiate on the administration of the Marquis of Hastings, who, he observed, had lived in India for a longer period of time than any other Governor-General, saving and excepting the great Warren Hastings. How he had performed his important duties was well known to - the • Court. When he assumed the reins of the GOvernment of India, the Company's paper was at a discount, when he left that country it was at a high prernium, and a surplus revenue had been created. The lion. Chairman'then adverted to the skilful and successful manner in which the Noble Marquis had carried on, and concluded - the Nepau lese and Pindarrce war, and concluded by moving " That - 'this Court do approve of the resolution." The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN (J. Pattison,. Esq.) se conded the motion. Mr. S. DixoN said, that if his memory served him, a grant had been made at no great distance of time to the late Manjuis of Hastings. He forgot what the exact amount of that grant was; The CHAIRMAN.--.lt was 60,0001. vested in trus. tees. Mr. S. DIXON.—As that grant had been settled on the family of the Noble Marquis, he wished to know how much they were annually receiving from it? The CHAIRMAN--The grant to the late Marquis of Hastings amounted to 60,000/. It was put into the hands of trustees for the purpose of being in vested, and it was invested in the Bank of England. The interest of it was exclusively devoted to the late Marquis Ind his lady, therefore the family during his Marquis of Has tings life derived Ito benefit from it. On the death of the Marchioness, that sum would be divided in certain portions to his family. Mr. S. DIXON—Does the Marchioness receive any benefit from it ? The CHAIRMAN—She receives, and will receive during her life, the annual interest 'which that sum produces. Mr. S. Dixosi 'thought it would be better to give the present Marquis this grant of 20,000/., without placing him in a Mansion; . to keep up the `splendour of which would probably incur a very great . expence. The CHAIRMAN said, the object of the present grant was•to enable the present Marchioness, her daughters, and her son, to unite their means together: At the death of the present Marchioness of Hastings, the noble' Lord would be in Possession of a fortune, —hot so great, indeed, as he Might have been 'en andnit P considerableber s mother of titled ‘tvi iee were eil illustrious tt:ioshtelrilrooi inherited families,iba h l l , i m t la_ t t h i b bo e su l et o o t s t ft g i belonged sit t-o fva et i t ri l ye te r fortune. And he must say, from the knowledge be possessed of the admirable goOdhabits of the present Marquis (so far as the habits of a youth of 19 could be judged of,) that he showed such prudence and self-comMand, as would, in his opinion, enable the noble Lord to retrieve the riches of his family.— (Hear.) the resolution was couched. ' have been given as a reward for i tn i i s ih v lit l t i a ic rt l yo i andMir-m.lilitiltlamlEsesit:voicnegslyofetehistliaretedr Mitilisaer and not as a donation extorted by the distresses of the great °i his family. Worded ,as the resolution was, he w ould, if he were the Marquis of Hastings, sooner starve than accept this money. He, however, did not mean to h o ld up his hand aga in st the motion, but h e t h oug h t i t r ight to state, that he agreed to the grant,mot for the reasons stated in the resolu tion, but on account of the brilliant services of the late Noble Marquis, on which services he dilated at considerable length. He put it to the Court whether the gift would not be more grateful to the receiver, and more honourable to thegiver, if the re solution were couched in the following plain and intelligible terms :—" That this Court, in testimony of their deep sense of the important services of the late Marquis of Hastings to this Company, do grant the, further sum of 20,0001. to his son, the present mfirquis." He did not wish to press this as an amendment, because he was desirous that unanimity should prevail on this occasion, as far as it wa s pos sible : but in his opinion, if the Honourable Chair man would adopt it in the place o f t h e mot i on that 1 had been proposed, it would be an a l terat i on m uch 1 for the better.
