" HONOURABLE . _ " We, the undersigned Proprietors of East India Stock, re• quest that a special General Court may be 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.

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.

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 succesatul, I will devote myself exclusively to the di4charge of the important duties entrusted to me, and to the promotion of the best interests of the people of India.

The Minister of Public Works, it is reported, is about to bring before the Chamber as a sort of 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). The loss of property was inconsiderable, but nine of the workmen were killed by suffocation in one of the staircases whilst vainly endeavouring to escape. The son of Mr. Watt, the great engineer, has just presented to the Academie des Sciences at Paris a marble bust of his father, by Chantrey. The last number of the Bulletin de Lois contains an ordonnance directing the annullation of not less than 219 patents through default of payment of the second portion of the fees.

WAGES AND CORN-LAWS. TITA GE S.—Observations on the Connexion between. Corn- Law Repeal and 'the Price of Labour; math a Reply to some _Remarks contained in a Pamphlet signed " Britannicus." By Edward John Evans. Clarke. 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 poisons 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 forward, and 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, with regard to the great and important principle of free trade."

His expences were put down at 1,215/., while the profits of his business amounted to only 316/. 2s. 4d., and 2941. 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 Marylehone, 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. Combo 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 the charge founded on the 83/. cheque, for the attendance of Mr. Torriano, the bar rister.

" 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 lacer 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 thorities, 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.

There is much vigour and animation in this poem, which is founded, it seem? on a romantic incident that occurred—or is supp or t e d to have occurred—during the late hard-feught 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 Turkish vessel of war. The account of the pursuit, and the subsequent conflict between 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—feast s hi s 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, While stand the crew in horrified dismay. The Chieftain calls upon his men to fly Each to his post, and meet the Turk or die. He thunders forth his mandates, but in vain, The fear -struck crew but fall to prayer again, Close round the Virgin's image congregate, And loudly pray her to avert their fate. Kalsandi as he paces o'er the deck, Views in his mind, his cherished treasures' wreck ; Heaps curse on curse, upon the coward _Reis, 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 OP 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 01 - lara was made prisoner. lie subsequently 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 Walcheren 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. lle received a medal and two clasps for Salamanca, Vittoria, and 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 iiisposal of the Commander-in- Chief. MEPRAM, 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 hotir for breakfast and an hour for dinner. He re mained at this work for about twelve months. The first intimation whi c h h e rece i ve d- o f hi s pardon having been granted, was by-a paragraph, which Mr. Carr, a super intendent of_conviets,. 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 basiness.—Maidstone Gazette. •• THE GADDESBY MBE DEB.—THIRD DAY'S Ex A MINATION.—The prisoner Mmenger, re-apprehended on sus piciou 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 imnicme size of THE WEEKLY DISPATCH has, hitherto, enabled its Proprietors on all occasions to present a e,pious, 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 ass.iciates, 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 new, honoured with more patronage than any other in ex istence, 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, GRATIS. One of these Supplements will be published on the Sunday suc ceeding the delivery of the Verdict, and will contain the Spe.iches of Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Shell, Sir C. O'Loghlin, the Attorney- General, and other leading Counsel ; together with the summing up of the Judge, the Ye, diet of the Jury, and other matters of im portance that may arise up to the latest hour, for which the ser•ices of several short-hand writers of eminence have been specially engaged. The second Supplement (als() of the full size of THE WEEKLY DISPATCH) will, 'in fact, firm the early portion of the 'trial, and embrace the proceedings from the commencement to that stage at which the 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. A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF MR. O'CONNELL will precede the acconnt of the Trial, which will be written by a gentleman intimately acquainted with the "great Agitator," andconsiquently one who has treasured up many reminiscences that will render the Biography a paper of general and ab sorbing interest.

Three female children, to be-clad in white, chosen by his chief executor, are to precede his coffin, for which service he has left to each of them a legacy of 201., 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 be renewed every fire years. Five gentlemen of high attainments in lite rature, art, and science, have been appointed by Dr. Swiney as his executors.

It appeared from 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, when he was sized with a violent vomiting of blood, and retired to bed. Being averse to medical advice, no surgeon was sent for until he bad a second access of vomiting, when, con trary to his wish, Mr. Cholm mdeloy, a surgeon of Not tingham-place, was called is by deceased's wife. Mr. Chohnondeley said, that lie visited deceased at eight o'clock on Monday evening, and found three chamber utensils each half full of blood, expectorated by deceased: Another vesseltontained a largo quantity cf . coagulated blood 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. Ile prescribed for the dece ase d a nd th e em i ss i on 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 emitied as large a quantity of blood as before. He againt4pre scribed for him, and, though pulsation had nearly ceased, deceased had his mental faculties so little ins aired 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 Kensal-green cemetery in which, he wished to be buried. Deceased had two nearly simi;' 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 sin gular attacks to previous intemperate habits. Ver dict—Died of exhaustion, produced by extensive vomit ing of blood.

From his respectable appearance and repro 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 corn forts of this life for 'near a week, when he, as usual, went out for his morning's walk after breakfast 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 'Lb) so, and has not since been heard of,, but - has left the reckoning unpaid, and no dofibt 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-lavrs and upon Ireland. It is not improbable. His followers seemed determined not to tolerate either silence or evasion ; and possibly the Mini s t er ' s d e f erence to h is party may induce him to frame a frank and straightforward speech for his Sovereign. In this case, the Address will certainly not pass without an amendment being proposed ; and we trust-the division will find every Liberal Member talus post.-- Chronicle.
