TO THE I ) ROPRIET JRS OF E .s r INDIA sTOCK. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, T HAVE the honour to tender you my grateful 1 thanks for having placed me in the Direction of the East India Company. Deeply impressed with the importance and responsibility of the office it shall be my constant endeavour faithfully to dis charge the duties of it ; studying to promote the true interests of the British empire, by advocating such measures as are best calculated to secure the peace, prosperity, and happiness, of the people whose country is committed to our charge. 1 have the honour to be, Ladies anaaGentlemen, Your obliged and faithful servant. JAMES OLIPHANT. Wimbledon .common, Jan. 2.4, 1844. TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, • MY motives, for not proceeding to the ballot at the election of this day have been already made known to you, and Major Oliphant was without opposition dulyelected to fill the existing vacancy in the Court of Directors. I now beg most earnestly to solicit your votes and interest for the next vacancy which may take place, and I seize this op portunity very gratefully to acknowle d g e the kind assistance of my numerous friends, fully relying on their adherence to my cause at the next election. I have the gratiScation to state that the augmented support I have already received by the spontaneous assurance of numerous Proprietors, now released from their engagements, with the ac cession of many influential parties warmly interested in my suc cess, inspire a perfect conviction that the attainment of my am bition and anxious solicitude for many years, will only be de ferred until the occurrence of another vacancy. I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your very faithful servant, JOHN CLARMONT WHITEMAN. 24 A, Bryanston-square, Jan. 24, 1844. TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK. LADIES AND GENILEBIEN, THE election of Major Oliphant to a seat in the direction of 'your affairs having released from their en gagements a large and influential body of independent Pro prietors who have promised me their support, I have the honour to repeat my determination to proceed to the ballot on the next vacancy. The constitution of the East India Company being no longer commercial, but political, the great object of the Go vernment of India ought to be the moral and physical advance ment of our Indian fellow-subjects. An intimate acquaintance with their languages, manners, and customs, and a practical knowledge of India, are, consequently, the most essential qua lifications for those aspiring to a share in the administration of our vast Eastern empire. Under these circumstances, having filled various responsible situations in India during a period of fifteen years, I respectfully offer myself as a candidate for your suffrages on the first va cancy. Assuring you that, having no ether pursuit, should I be successful, I will devote myself exclusively to the discharge of the important duties entrusted to me, and to the promotion of the best interests of the people of India. I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, With great respect, Your faithful and obedient servant, W. J. EAST WICK. London, 22, Sloane-street, Jan. 25, 1844.

On Sunday afternoon the King, accompanied by General de Rumigny and an orderly officer, went to Versailles, but returned to the Tuileries to dinner. In ,the evening their Majesties received the Duke Decazes, Count Mortier, Viscount de Mortemart, the Baron de Perignon, the Baron and Baroness de St. Didier, and MM. Abraham Dubois, de Came, and Esperonnier. The King and Queen of the Belgians were ex pected in Paris for the Carnival. The Minister of Public Works, it is reported, is about to bring before the Chamber, as a sort or pilot balloon, a bill for the Northern Railroad, and another on the Vierzon line. It is to be an adjudication on certain conditions, several companies having applied for those two lines. Should the Chamber not agree to his proposition, the Minister intends proposing that those lines should be executed by the State. On the 20th inst., a fire took place at a manufac tory at Pont Remy (Somme).

GREAT NATIONAL TRIAL AT DUBLIN. 6 The immense size of THE WEEKLY DISPATCH has, hitherto, enabled its Proprietors on all occasions to present a evious, and, at the same time, interesting map of the events of each week. It is, however, now found utterly impossible to give anything like a faithful report of the Trial of Mr. O'Con nell and his repeal associates, without excluding a great mass of interesting domestic and foreign intelligence ; the Proprietors, therefore, feel that their journal, which has been for years, and is now, honoured with more patronage than any other in ex istenee, should be, in all respects, complete; and, with that view, they intend to insert a summary of the proceedings during the progress of the trial in their usual columns, and present to their friends and subscribers TWO SUPPLEMENTS.

The second Supplement (also of the full size of THE WEEKLY DISPATCH) will, in fact, form the early portion of the trial, and embrace the proceedings from the commencement to that stage at which lbw other begins ' • so that every subscriber to THE WEEKLY DISPATCH will be in pos session of a complete and faithful report of this great national trial—a trial which must become a matter of history, and be regarded as an event of no ordinary importance in after time. reminiscences m A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETC H OF SIR.

In the Court of Bankruptcy another examination of J. Bedford, who had carried on business as an iron monger in the Westminster-road took place. It appeared from his balance-sheet, that during the time of his trading (a period of only about 36 weeks) he had in curred debts to the amount of 2,369!., and that the property given up to the assignee valued at 1,262/. His expences were put down at 1,215/., while the profits of his business amounted to only 3161. 2s. 4d., and 294/. from his wife's jointure. Commissioner Evans, after examining two witnesses said, I shall adjourn this case sine die, and when the bankrupt 'can furnish reasonable accounts he may come up again. James Gomm and Harris Gomm, his son, appeared again before the Insolvent Court. They were builders, and it was stated that they had given a mortgage to one particular creditor, a relation, when they owed their present debts, and when failure was inevitable. The question . was, whether the insolvents had been actuated by fraud in the disposition of their property, which property had been created by the debts they owed. The Court deferred judgment. At Marylebone, Henry North, the boy who was brought up on Tuesday upon the charge of having stabbed another boy, named Robins; in the breast with a pen-knife, was fully committed for trial. At Clerkenwell Joseph Tuohy, a middle-aged re spectable-looking man, was charged by his employer, Mr. Henry Bedford, solicitor, of No. 20, Calthorpe street, Gray's Inn-road, and of Gray's Inn-square, with having embezzled two cheques for 83/. and 9/. 9s. 2d., respectively. Mr. Combe told the pri soner he stood fully committed for trial on the charge of embezzling the cheque for 9/. 9s. 2d., but that he should remand him on thecharge founded on the 83/. cheque, for the attendance of Mr. Torriano, the b ar rister.

The unfortunate gen tleman possessed a large fortune, but lived in the greatest seclusion, not going out of doors more than five or six times during an entire year. The only person about him wes his housekeeper. He had never shaved for the last two years, and his beard extended nearly to his waist. He was always most abstemious in his 'diet, but during the last few months, notwithstanding tha en treaties of his housekeeper, he would scarcely partake of any food, and for the last month he peremptorily refused' to allow the slightest nourishment to pass his jilyt e.:c cepting now and then small quantities of cider and water. • In consequence of this refusal he gradually sank., On Sunday morning last, becoming nearly insensible, his housekeeper called in Mr. Knaggs, surgeon, who found him in a state of stupor, and having rallied him a little, prescribed for him, but he refused to take the medicine, and expired shortly after. Some feW weeks prior to his death Dr. Swiney sent his housekeeper to a'ehemist's in the neighbourhood for some prussic acid; but the che mist refused to let him have it. Before deith • the de ceased gentleman made a will, which proves the eccen tricity of -his character. Be desires that he shall be in terred in St. Martin's burial-ground, Pratt-street, Cam den-town, and that his funeral should be on foot; his coffin to be covered with bright yellow cloth, and the pall and cloaks of the mourners to be of the same ma terial and colour. Three female children, to be clad in white, chosen by his chief executor, arc to precede his coffin, for which service he has left to each of them a . legacy of 20/, and also 201. to be expended in providing their funeral dresses. He has bequeathed 5,0001. to the trustees of the British Museum, for the establishment of a lectureship on geology, and 5,000/. •to the Royal Society of Arts, out of which sum the first freeholder, whether 'in England, Ireland, or Scotland, that should reclaim and bring into cultivation the largest amount of waste lands, was to receive 100 guineas, to be presented in a goblet of equal value ; this gift to b e renewed every five years. Five gentlemen of high attainments in lite rature, art, and science, have been appointed by. Dr. Swinoy as his executors. They have already had his will carried into effect, by placing his body in a Coffin covered with bright yellow cloth, and studded with gilt nails, and there is but little doubt. the whole of his ex traordinary requests will be rigidly adhered to. DEATH FROM EXTENSIVE Loss OF BLOOD.-Yes terday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Pitt's Paddington, St. Marylebone, on the body of Mr. Thomas Lomas, aged fifty-eight, late landlord of the house. It appeared franc' the evidence of two females, in the service of deceased, that on Monday last he served in the bar up till nearly five o'clock, whop he was seized with a violent vomiting of blood, and retired to bed. Being averse to medical advice, no surgeon was sent for until lie had a second access of vomiting, when, eon wary to his wish, Mr. Cholm:mdeley, a surgeon of Not tingham-place, was called ix by deceased's wife - Mr. ,Cholmondaey said, that he visited deceased at tight :o'clock on Monday evening, and found three chamber utensils each half full of blood, expectorated by deceased. Another vessel contained a large quantity of coagulated bl iod that had been passed through the rectum. Deceased complained of pain and depression of. the chest, and witness was of opinion that the stomach was loaded with blood. He prescribed for the deceased and the emission of blood ceased, and on going away he left orders that if it returned he should be instantly sent for. . Accord ingly he was sent for between three and four o'clock next morning, and found that deceased had emitted as 'large a quantity of blood as before. 'He again pre scribed for him, and, though pulsation had: nearly ceased, deceased had his mental faculties so little im paired that he .was able to direct his wife how he should best dispose of the business after his death, and to point out the precise spot in liensal-green cemetery in which he wished to be buried. Deceased had tw. nearly sinn lar attacks in 1842 and 1843, and was cured by the ad ministration of diluted sulphuric acid, alum, digitates, and infusion of roses.. Deceased attributed these • sine gular attacks to previous intemperate habits. Ver . diet—Died of exhaustion,- produced by extensiVe'venite oftbloOd. ' • • e • k. i AUTION TO LICENSED VIC TUALLERS.—A young man, representing, , himself as a commercial traveller, with dark hair, dark .eyes, black whiskers, about five, feet eight inches in height, amid smart walk, called at the house of Mr., Daniels, a respectable licensed yie;utiller, and landlord of the Crown and Masons' Arms public house, near her Majesty's Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, and requested to know if he could have a bed-room and board for a week. From his respec:able appearance and repre sentations, and the superior manners he possessed, an affirmative reply was given, and he was asked into their private, parlour, where he partook of all the good com forts of this life for near a week, when he, as usual, went out for his morning's walk after b: eakfast yesterday morning, stating that he should go up to the Royal Ar tillery barracks, and see the band perform their military duties, and should return to partake of dinner. -The gentleman, however, forgot to do so, and has not since been heard of, but has left the reckoning unpaid, and no doubt made a hasty retreat from the town. We would once more emphatically call upon every member of the Liberal party to be in his place upon the first night of the meeting of Parliament. His friends report with confidence that Sir Robert Peel will " speak out," both upon the corn-laws and upon Ireland. It is not improbable. His followers seemed determined not to tolerate either silence or evasion ; and possibly the 111 mister's deference to his party may induce him to frame a frank and straightforward speech for his Savereign. In this case, the Address will certainly not pass without an amendeient being proposed ; and we trust the division will find every Liberal Member at his post. — Chronicle.

On Tuesday evening the Strou 1 Anti-Corn-law Association held a crowded and enthusiastic meeting in the large subscription room of the borough. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting, and resolu tions were unanimously agreed to expressing con fidence in the League, and a determination to carry out its objects. The total sum subscribed was 5581. The amount subscribed last year was only 2741., so that this year the contribution is more than doubled, betides considerable subscriptions which are yet ex pected. A spirited address to the merchants, manufactu rers, end other inhabitants of Birmingham and its neighbourhood has just been issued, informin g them that a great meeting will speedily, be held at Bir mingham to promote the objects of the League, and calling on them to attend the meeting, and aid in the i bolition of monopoly. The demonstration at Bir mingham is expected to be most influential, far more I than, and counterbalancing, the Anti-League move ment in Warwickshire, which has begun there as well as in other counties. Messrs. Cobden and Moore were presented with the freedom of the burgh of Cupar, Fife, on Thursday last, and afterwards addressed a numerous assembly of the inhabitants, at a public meeting, on the subject of free-trade in corn. On this occasion Provost Nicol occupied the chair, on the motion of James A.ytoun, Esq., of Capeldras, seconded by D. M. M. Crichton, Esq., of Rankeillour. By the Derby. Mercury of yesterday morning, we learn that more than 700 tenant farmers of the southern division of the county of Derby have called a meeting for Friday next, to be held at the Icing's Head Inn, to determine upon the propriety of forming an agricultural protection society. From II Parliamentary paper of last session it ap- WAGES AND CORN-LAWS. WAGES.—Observations on the Connexion between. Corn- Law Repeal and the Price of Labour ; with a Reply to some Remarks contained in a Pamphlet signed " Britannicus." By Edward John Evans. Clai ke. London, 1844. • The object of these " observations " cannot be bet ter stated, perhaps, than in the " Prefatory Remarks" which precede the text. We subjoin an extract, of which, in discussing the important topics it alludes to, we scarcely think the worse, because of the de fects of composition that may be detected in it : "'The question of free trade has now become one of the principal topics of the day, and the object of the monopolist party being to bring forward specious argu ments attempting to refute the statements of the free traders, and as many of their pamphlets may get into the hands of persons whose minds are still shackled with many prejudices upon this subject, this device would thereby so far succeed as to cause individuals to waver in their decision, when the necessity_ of a right knowledge is of the first importance. This circumstance suggested the necessity of establishing the Metropolitan Free Trade Discussion Society ' where all questions of doubt and perplexity - can - be - brought forty aril, find 'their various merits freely canvassed ; and I trust by these means - we shall be enabled to fix the minds of many upon a firm basis, will regard to the great and important principle of free trade." We heartily concur wi,:h Mr. Evans in his sug gestion for the general arnelora!ion of the farmer's position, as an expedient preliminary, if we do not mistake him, to the permanent establishment of a system of free trade, including the abolition of the existing corn-laws. " I may- be allowed (he observes) to state here that, leaving out the exploded fallacy of mutual confidence, let him at once have a LONG LEASE ; his energes thereby will be directed to the improve ment of his lands, and we shall find that by these means, and these alone, he will be enabled to raise double and even treble the produce he did in former years, with great profit to himself," &c. Touching the reciprocating action of supply and demand in regulating the market of labour—and, indeed, all other markets—we nieet with the following touch of native sagacity : " A Lancashire operative very justly observed, and it has become a hacknied phrase, but not the less true, that when you see two men looking after one master, then wages will be low ; and when two masters are looking after one man, then wages will be high.' This is a proposition more universally true than what here follows : " The effect of the corn-laws upon the farm labourer may be stated in few words : they raise the price of the commodity he has to buy, and liwer the price of the commo dity he has to sell." If the commodity to be sold be labour, this is.ne cessarily true ; but not so if the commodity be live stock, for example, - which it does not necessarily fol low that a farm labourer cannot possess. The Chief averments in the pamphlet of "Britannicus" are well answered by the chronological statistics adduced by Mr. Evans, ranging from the years 1816 to 1843. Some extracts from our contemporary, the Economist, from Ricardo, from Senior, and other economical au thoritis, are judiciously brought in aid of the general argument raised by Mr. Evans, that a lowered price and increased quantity of corn would inevitably tend to raise and maintain wages, and enlarge the opera tions of our productive industry. LITERATURE. • • THE .ALBANIAN. Strange, London, 1844. There is • much vigour and animation in this poem, which is founded, it ,seems on a romantic incident that occurred—or is supported to have occurred—during the late hard-fought War of Independence in Greece. The poem opens with a graphic sketch of the scenery in the immediate neighbourhood of Corinth, and then proceeds to describe the appearance in the bay of a small Greek brig which is hotly pursued by a Turliish vessel of war. The account of the pursuit, and the subsequent conflictbetween the two ships, is given with -considerable ability. But indeed the poem throughout deserves praise for its striking and appropriate imagery, and the ease and melody of its versification. The author is a gentleman named Charles James Col lins, and we trust this is not the last poem we shall have from his pen. We quote a passage or two : The creaking masts bend 'neath the heavy strain,— . The spray flies o'er the deck as thick as rain ; The Turk appears within a musket shot, Of that most swift but doomed Ipsariote. The Reis with horror views the flashes bright,. - And coward like proclaims he dares not fight ; Howls to the wind as on the deck he stands, And prays the virgin with uplifted hands. Kalsandi listens to the coward's cries, One moment pauses—feasts his rage filled eyes ; Then bounding grasps the traitor by the neck. And hurls him powerless from the vessel's deck Into the swelling billows of the bay, stand the crew in horrified dismay. Vito' Chieftain calls .upon his men. tofly. _ Each to.his post, and meet the Turk or die. TM thitnderS.. feral,: his' mandAeS, but in vain, The fea.r-struck . crew - but - fall to prayer,agaia, • Close round the Virgin's image congregate, • And loudly .pray ,- her-to avert -their ofate KalSandi as. he paces-o'er the deck, •- • .Viewa in his mind, hiss cherished treasures' wreck ; Heaps curse on curse, upon the coward Eels, Who lured him first to this doomed enterprise. Alternate feelings now his bosom tear, Rage, fear, hatred, hope, but not despair. His treasures knock against his heart.—'tis woe, Indeed, to yield them to a Turkish foe. Each shot that whistles through the echoing air, Adds to the keeenness of the crew's despair; • One form alone enjoys - the stirring scene, And he had scarcely twenty summers seen ; He seems to glory in a scene so new, And laughs to scorn the terrors of the crew., DEATH OF LIEUTENANT-GENERAL SIR WILLIAM JOHNSTON, K.C.B.—Lieutenant-General Sir William Johnston, K.C.8., Colonel of the 68th Regiment, expired on Tuesday last, at Southampton, in the 72d year of his age. In the published records of the 68th Regiment we find that Sir William entered the army as Ensign on the 3d of June, 1791 ; embarked for Toulon in 1793, and was present at the action of the heights when General O'Hara was made prisoner. Ire suhsequently served in Corsica, and was present at the capture of Bastia and Calvi, in which affair he was wounded. He became a Lieutenant on the 7th of January, 1794, and Captain on the 4th of April of the following year. He accompanied the expedition to Tuscany in 1797, attained the rank of Major on the 27th of February, 1800, and served in the expedition against the Danish and West India islands in 1801, and in the Waicheren expedition. He attained the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel on the 25th of April, 1808, and commanded the 68th at the siege of Flushing in the following year. He received a medal and two clasps for Salamanca, Vittoria, find Orthes ; in the battle of Vittoria he was severely wounded. By the demise of this distinguished officer, another regiment, the 68th, is placed at the disposal of the Commander-in- Chief. MEPHAM, THE INNOCENT CONVICT.—This young man, who, it will be remembered, was transported about two years since for an alleged attack on Mr. killick, of Weavering-street, but whose innocence has been proved, and a free pardon having been dispatched for him, ar rived in Maidstone, in good health, on Monday last, to the great joy of his friends. He was sent to Hobart Town, and from thence about sixty miles into the bush, to a place called the Cascades, clearing land, with other convicts, where his work continued from half-past five in the morning till six at night in the summer, with half an hour for breakfast and al hour for dinner. He re mained at this work for about twelve months. The first intimation which he received of his pardon having been granted, was by a paragraph, which Mr. Carr, a super intendent of convicts, inclosed to him In a letter, and which had been cut out from some English newspaper. He did not receive the official letter till a considerable time afterwards, namely, on the 2d of August, within a week of which date the authorities had provided a free passage home for him in the Eudora, which reached Eng land on Monday last. A considerable sum has been sub scribed for him, with which it is intended to set him up n some small way of business.—Maidstone Gazette. THE GADDESDY MURDER.—THIRD DAY'S EXA MINATION.—The prisoner Messenger, le-apprehended on sus picion of the murder of James Garner, was again brought up this day before the county magistrates, when Mrs. Hodges un derwent a long and very searching examination, but her testi mony given last week was not shaken in the least. The pri soner was agrin remanded until Saturday.— Leicestershire Mercury of Wednesday. ENGLISH AND IRISH LAW.—The Irish Chief Jus tice holds it is not necessary that a reporter should prove the whole of a speech, a portion thereof is sufficient. The English Judges have held a reverse doctrine • the last, Baron Rolfe, upon trim of Mr, PiConnorsni ot'hero at Liverpool, • EAST INDIA HOUSE, JANUARY 17, 1844. THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the EAST INDIA COMPANY do hereby give notice, That a SPECIAL GENERAL COURT of the said CO %WAN Y will be held at their House, in Leadenhall-street, on Filarial', the 26th instant, at Eleven o'clock in the forenoon, at the desire of Nine Proprietors of East India Stock, in com pliance with the following Requisition, viz. : " To the Hon. the CHAIRNIAN of the COURT of DI RECTORS of the EAST INDIA COMPANY. " HoNotraarstE Spa,— " We, the undersigned Proprietors of East India Stock, re quest that a Special General Court may b. convened at the earliest period, to take into consideration the following resolu tions proposed to be submitted to them. " Ist. That from the printed papers recently laid before the Proprietors on the subject of Sinde, it is the opinion of this Court that the proceedings of the Government of India, which ended in the dethronement, exile, and imprisonment of the Ameers, and the seizure of their country and private property, were uncalled for, impolitic, and unjust. " 2d. That this Court does therefore most earnestly recom mend to the Court of Directors the immediate adoption of such steps, by representation to her Majesty's Government or other wise, as may cause all practicable reparation to be made for the injustice already committed, and enforce the abandonment of a line of policy inconsistent with good faith, and subversive of the interests of the British rule in India.
