At the Court of Aldermen on Tuesday last s Sir JANES SHAW, after having heard a detail of the plans of the LORD MAYOR for doing honour to his Majesty on his de parture from the MetropoliS to visit Scotland, and of the ar rangements to accommodate the Members of the Court on that occasion, very highly comnended the course pursued by his Lordship, which, he observed, reflected much credit upon the city, and merited the special thanks of the Court. Sir James accordingly moved a vote of thanks, and that a Committee should.he appointed to draw up the motion. Upon this ques, don Sir James, it appeared, expected no opposition, but Alderman WArriisrAN said he believed there was no pre cedent for such. a vote as had been proposed ; that nothing had struck him as evidence of extraordinary skill or exertion in what had been represented as deserving of the particular notice :and approbation of the Court; and that it was a question whe ther the part taken by his Lordship was not rather such as should have been avoided than pursued, the public having re iceived a very sufficient intimation that it was his Majesty's de `cided wish to take his departure from his beloved subjects in the city as privately as possible. • In the opinions of Alderman Waithman, Alderman Noon seemed; to coincide. He wished to see the precedent tbr such a vote, and also to learn from the Lord Mayor whether any thing in the shape of thanks had been given to his Lordship from the department of Government with whom , . his Lordship had com municated, on the subject of attending his Majesty to the bounds of his jurisdiction, as Conservator of the River. To this question a negative was givex by the Lord Mayon, who observed that he had performed what he conceived to he his duty, without for a moment entertaining a thought with re spect to the consequences. The Lord Mayor added, that it would in his opinion have had a very odd appearance, if • the King had proceeded down the river without being attended by the authorities, which were in a manner called for by the public announcement that his Majesty intended to embark at Green wich, sand then mentioned the nature and manner of the com munications made to him by the Under-Secretary of 'State, re lative to the Royal departure, in explanation of every step he had taken. It was necessary, also, for his Lordship to account for the variety of - rnisinformalion with which it was said the citizens had been favoured with regard to the hour Of the Royal depaiture. Alderman VE N'AnLEs also called for precedents, and did not see the necessity of passing a vote of a particular nature. As there did notappear to be that feeling of Unanimity which Sir James expected, he said be should not hesitate to withdraw his motion ; but, in doing so, he distinctly stated the conduct pursued by the City on the occasion of his Majesty's departure was such as it.should have been; and that, however forgetful others might have been of their duty, the City had nothing to reproach itself with. The general vote of thanks was, after this conversation in the Court, carried. The Rev. 11. RonoEs,,Rector of Beckley, in Sussex, to the great satisfaction of his parishioners, has agreed to lower his tithe fifty per cent. for the ensuing year. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1822 CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. A letter was this morning received by a re spectable merchant from Kingston, Jamaica, dated on the 25th July. It contains news im portant to the traders with Columbia, and the following is an extract front it :---- " The chief purport of this letter is to advise you that the official accounts of the total expulsion of the Spanish forces from the department of Quito have just been received. The city of Quito surrendered to General Sucre on tiy. 25th May, and Paste submitted to the Liberator, Bolivar, on the 7th of June, after several decisiye actions, which have increased the claims of this extraordinary man to the gratitude of his country. This intelligence is so important that I have to-day communi cated the particulars to the Royal Gazette, which you will receive by the regular packet. Matters are now ripe for all the influence that can be used with our Governtnent to recog nize the independence of a State which will now become daily more important to the manufacturing and commercial interests of England. The conquest of the Audience of Quito adds to 'the popUlation of Columbia nearly one million of souls, all animated with the best feelings, and the Republic may now be considered free from the Royalists, except the few men who are shut up in Puerto Cabello, whither Borav,va was on his march, and it was expected that he would be before it on the 29th August at latest. From his known rapidity little doubt can be entertained of the speedy fall of this fortress. The articles of capitulation for the Royal forces in Quito are in The Santa Fe Gazette of the 30th of June, by-which it appears that the whole of Ahem surrendered prisoners of war, and were to be sent to Chagres, and there to be embarked at the expence of the Spanish Government to Cuba. We have already received advices from Porto Bello of the arrival of the prisoners at Pa nama, and that the British ships Bristol and Fan Fan were takenup at Chagres to convey them to Havannah, &c. By this information, it would appear that Columbia may now be said to enjoy tranquillity as the reward of many years of toil and dangers, and to cultivate peace and reap the ad vantages of freedom will soon be the only pursuits of the Go vernment. Accounts from Valparaiso, dated on the lath May, state that the cargo of the British ship Lord Cathcart had bed condemned, it having been proved Spanish property. An express received this afternoon from Paris, advises an im provement in the value of Foreign Funds in that city. The French Rentes dosed on Monday at 92. 75. The New Spanish Bonds at. 631, and the Old at 70k a. On account of the stormy weather, very few arrivals of Grain have been announced in Mark-lane since Monday last. The buyers, however, in expectation of large supplies, do not pur chase, and every article is consequently uncommonly unsaleable. A few fine samples of New 'Wheat were sold at the currency of last Monday, but sound Old Wheat, 581 b. to a bushel, cannot be disposed of at more than 325. a quarter ; Barley is worth 30s. for the best Malting samples, but as yet there are few Maltsters at work, and the Distillers are fully stocked till next January. A large supply could consequently only be disposed of at a re duced value, arid the price of Barley has been forced up too nearly on a level with Wheat, to render the maintenance of it possible, unless a considerable improvethent should take place in the latter article. Oats are a shade clearer, but the arrivals, of this article since Monday do not exceed fifteen hundred quarters. In the Edinburgh market new East Lothian Wheat sells at from 30;. - tO 355. a'quarter. At Genoa, by the Jatest advices, no improvement in the value of Wheat had taken place. It would .remit about thirty-four shillings a quarter, from which freight and insurance must be deducted. Little doubt, how ever, can be entertained but that Italy, and the Spanish and, French ports in the Mediterranean will soon acqUire large sup plies. In Odessa a decline in prices had taken place, but the scarcity of ships and the time of the year render this circum stance of little importance. This town is fuller than ever. of Russian Officers, none of the Russian army having been with drawn from Turkey, and the GRAND SEIGNIOR'S disputes with his good brother the magnanimous ALEXANDER being not con sidered in the smallest degree adjusted. If Turkey in Europe, be a legitimate Government, the SULTAN has a right to chastise his rebellious Christian subjects, to impale Grecian merchants, to lead cultivated ladies and young children into slavery, and to gratify the Crescent with indignities and cruelties offered to the Cross. His Government rests on his sovereign will, and if the Holy Alliance acknowledges its legitimacy, they have no cause to complain of its barbarity. Mr. WINDHAM used to say, that it was impossible to snake a silk purse out of a sow's ear ; and it is equally ridiculous to expect civilization from the tenets of these true believers in Mahomet. The Emperor of Russia is, however, understood, in his Eastern dominions, not to be satisfied with the praises bestowed on him for his forbear ance, for his subjects in that part of hiS - Empire do not conceive them a proper equivalent for the indignities offered last year to his Ambassador at Constantinople. The British funds have been very steady this day, and there is again a slight improvement in' their value. Bank Stock for the opening has been sold at 251 a 252, and East India Stock at 253 i. The Consols for the ,October settlement opened at l and though no business of any great importance was transacted in them, they closed at 81i buyers, with an appear ance of a farther advance. • The foreign securities have been quite stationary this day, occasioned by the Jewish fast, which did not end until sun -set. To-norrow is, however, likely to•lie - a busy day, for th e mon i e d ' gentlemen will return to their' business quite refreshed and sharp-set after this day of rest and devotion.

General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was held yesterday, pursuant to the terms of the Charter, at the Company's House in. Leadenhall-street. APPOINTMENT of a NEW GOVERNOR-GENERAL. Sundry papers presented to Parliament since the last General Court having been laid on the table, The CHAIItMA* (T. Pattison, Esq.) was proceeding to put the question of adjournment, there being no other business be fore the Court, when Mr. R. JACKSON rose, and inquired whether the Chairman or the Court of Directors was in possession of any intimation as to the probable departure of the Marquis of Hastings from Calcutta ? The CHAIR3IAN answered, that no official information had been received on that subject. Mr. R. JACKSON said, the matter appeared to stand thus:— Application had been made to the Marquis of Hastings to re main in India until his successor arrived. This had been stated to the Court ; and he did not know, as a month had elapsed since a successor Lad been . formally appointed, but that some gentleman might be in possession of the probable period at which the Marquis of Hastings would take his departure from India. Speaking within the probability of human events, as it was understood that the Marquis of Hastings would remain in India till a successor was appointed, perhaps that limit was Sufficiently. extensive to . allow of such an application as would induce him under the peculiar circumstances of the case to continue at the head of the Indian Government for a longer period than he had intended. He believed he spoke the sense of the Court when he said that scarcely any event could take place more propitious to the general interests of the Com pany, or to those of India, than that to which he had alluded. He meant not to say whether the chance of such an event was within the reach of hope, but he thought it was one the accom plishment.of which was worthy of their serious attention. If it were too late to make an arrangement of .this kind, the op portunity, and a proud one it was, again reverted to the Court of Directors, to appoint a Governor-General of India. Ile had no reason from the late nomination, but to suppose that in the next instance the executive body would make a virtuous choice. He spoke most conscientiously, when he said that he believed if the Rights Hon. Gentleman who had been just ap pointed to this arduous office had proceeded to India, though ,the man lived not who, in his (Mr. Jackson's) opinion, could approach the excellence of the Noble Marquis, yet that the Company would have found in that Right Hon. Gentleman a good Governor-General.—(Heal. )-- He participated in th e hope that that Right Honourable Gentleman would still be of great service to his country, as a British, if not as an Indian, Minister.—(Hear, hear.)---It would not become him to repeat, in that place, the sentiments which had been de livered on former occasions, and which were prompted by the fond and earnest hope that, in appointing a Governor-Gene ral of India, the Court of. Directors would listen to no sug gestion, except those which were founded on the honour and abilities of the persons who aspired to the office. But he had a right to say, on the part of his brother Proprietors, th a t it was not within the scope of humanity to feel more deeply than they would feel—than the country would feel, and the millions who were fated to be governed by the Company would feel, if. the Court' of Directors would, on this occasion, exert that magnanimity and resolution which hadmore than once distinguished them, and set their face against every applicant whose claim was not founded on known talent,, tried.integrity, and as far as possible a competent knowledge of the affairs of India.—(Hear, hear !)--There was no period in which this ap pointment had not been a matter of great importance ; but in the present period of their history it was wore important OMR ever. He was speaking, he believed, in the absence of some gentlemen who had recently given to the Court their collected knowledge and experience on the subject of our Eastern empire . ; and it was only sufficient to attend to their observations,to knew how mighty an empire they would shortly be called on to ma nage. lie fervently prayed that that Providence which had, more than once, directed the Executive Body in the selection of a' Governor-General, might now assist them in forming a proper choice ; for on that choice rested the happiness of Mil lions upon millions. He for one would feel most grateful, and he was sure lie spoke the common sentiment of all the Pro prietors, if; at a future time, it should be his lot to say that their Directors had maintained that high character which they had upheld on more than one occasion. Happy would 'he be, if it were at length determined and understood, that the overnment of India was not of a nature to bend to the political intrigues of the day, but that the appoint- . 'Ment of a Governor-General must be determined stibstan-' tially, on the qualifications that ought to be attached:to him who aspired after so important a situation.-.-(Hear, hear !) Ile was sure the Court of Directors would excuse an old con stituent for having said so much ; brit he was 'well assured of their kindness and candour, or lie would not have taken the, liberty. Mr. LOWNDEs congratulated the Court on - the intended Go ' vernor-General not baying gone out to India. As there was a . very great change in the Government at home, it was a fortun ate circumstance' that that gentleman had not gone abroad. Un doubtedly, hadbe proceeded on his voyage,-a vessel' might have .heen sent afterhiro ; but this would have furnished so much mat ter for ridicule amongst different persons, who never thought of the difficulty of forming an efficient government, that he was ex.. - tremely happy there had been no necessity for pursuing such a course. No man was morelikely to fill with effect the department, of a late unfortun a t e N o bl eman , w h os e d eat h h e regretted, ' be cause he was an honour to his country. The individual now appointed to the office was the man of all others most peculiarly, adapted, by his political principle's and the form of his mind, to do honour to that situation. He was now the Palinurns' of the helm. of Europe, 'and lie would have a difficult task in steering the vessel clear : of the. prejudices and passions of bad men. Sorry he was to say that there were some people who re joiced at the.death of his predecessor. Was it not horrible for any man thus to rejoice in the death of another ? ,Though he himself detested Buonaparte,in his: lifetime, yet it would have been horrid if his resentment carried him further. He honed the English character would never again be stained with so much infamy as arose from the transaction to which he had re ferred. The Hon. Proprietor then proceeded to complain, that at the last election for a Director, when he was confidentthat lie 'possessed - two votes, he was only allowed to give one. Bad it been a contested election he would have enforced his right to' a second vote, and, if unjustly refused, what would have been the consequence? Why, the whole election must have taken place over again. He made these observations without any ina-' lice to the Directors, but he wished them to inquire whether he had really two votes Or not- , The CHAIRMAN suggested that it would be better to make this subject a matter of private communication. Mr. LOWNDES said lie bad no objection to that course.; and to prove that lie had no ill will in this proceeding, he would bring forward a candidate for the favour and special protection of the Court of Directors in the person of a haunch of venison, which was in excellent order, and which he had received. from his friend, Mr. Lowndes, of Buckinghamshire.—(Here the lion. Proprietor exhibited, with the utmost gravity, but amidst the general laughter of the Court, the basket containing the before-mentioned haunch: The effect produced by this ex hibition was infinitely ar.ore theatrical than that which was wit,. nested in 'the House Of Commons when Mr. Burke displayed " the drawn dagger,". or when' Sir Francis Burdett flung the prison loaf with indignation on the floor.) When the laughter had subsided, the lion. Proprietor said, the haunch of venison was at the service of the Court of Directors ; and all he asked was, in the first place, to invite himself. to have.a peck at it (laughter), and next to be allowed. to propose that Sir James Shaw and Mr. R. Jackson should be of the party.-„-(Laughter.) He was afraid; however, as Sir James was a member of the Corporation, that aakingbim to a venison dinner was something . similar to sending coals to Newcastle,—(Laughter ).—Of this he was sure, that the CoUrt would admit the present to be the best motion he had ever made, The CHAIRMAN thanked the Hon. Proprietor for the man ner in which he had been so kind , as to make this present to him and. his colleagues. It was, however, rather an informal way, and looked more like a bribe than an ordinary present.— (Laughter.) Mr. Lowxtts said, knowing the reports which might be spread, if he presented. a haunch of venison privately to the Directors (from whom, it might be supposed,' he meant to ask some favour) ; he . determined to introduce • the : tatter in this public Way. Each, of those gentlemen might now exclaim— " Non timeo Danaos, et d ona f eren t es ." The Ciutritxt,ix.—l invite the Honourable Proprietor most distinctly.to dinner, to eat a part of his own venison. 111 t. LowNtots.—J- take it to be an honour to dine with the Court of Directors ; but if I thought they would suffer them- i 3 iii.c. T.6-i',..is'-ii,ic" . . . . .. selves to be the dupes or tools even of the first men in the 'kingOom, by U-d, I would think it no honour at all.— (Laughter.) , - . ! , The CHAIRMAN.—The HonOurable Proprietor lead better be done with the subject until six o'clO4, and then we shall endeavour to make the best'Of it. • COIU OF TH.E COMPANY'S SHIPS. Mr. CUALMERS said that- he-had a considerable time agO matte some observations relative to, the Company's naval ser- Vic a, which he thotight of irriportabee. He was at that, period interrupted by the Honourable Chairman, and also- by the Learned Gentleman below him R. Jackson); and-he . de:stood from them that his observations were then irregular; as the Court had been specially convened for other business.-_ Up to the present day, he had; when he attended the Cburt„ found it occupied on more important matters, and therefore he had not agitated the subject. But, having been Ithriself an old, sailor, both in the King's and in the Company's'iervie.e, he could not help feeling and describing the hardships to which many commanders of Company's ships had been subjected, in the hope that something would be done'to protect, in future; persons who were similarly situated. The individuals to *born he had alluded had suffered, because, - in the exercise aft FOLIO discretion and the discharge of a public duty, they resorted, to; proper means for the purpose of preserving due subordination onboard their ships. Actions had been-brought against them by those whose i.nisconduct they had checked. ThoSe actions they had defended; and when it was ghown by the verdict or a Jury, that that they had acted correctly, when they • had obtained a procesS to recover the amount of costs from tlit.per-' • sons who had falsely complained, they found . themselves sub ject to great expense, because the plaintiffs, who were generally mere " Men in buckram," absconded: ThiS was the hardship of which he complained. When A commande r had manf u lly repelled a Marge, and . proved that punishment inflicted by him was justifiable, that it was resorted to for the ptirpose of pres;:re.; ing ship and cargo, it was a great hardship that he should • be fixed with costs. He knew that a recent case of this kindhad been brought before the Directors, and the claim was rejected by them : Ent that circumstance did not 'deter him. from noticing the subject. He did not wish the Couit of Direct ors to be unnecessarily appealed to by commanders. He kn,ew: the latter, being sued in Courts of law, must there defend them.: selves. But cases occurred in which commanders were sued because they had opposed mutiny and sedition ; and in such cases, where the commanders could not recover their costs, in consequence of the absconding of the plaintiffs, he thought the Court of Directors would not r e f use gran ti ng a sum equivalent to the costs, instead of suffering those who had only done their duty to be out of pocket. Redid net wi s h th e C apta i n to come to the Director, and say, " You must authorize the Company's solicitor to defend me;" but, in a case of mutiny, as in that of Captain YoUngliusband (for whom lie did not speak, his ob- . ject being the benefit of the service at large) f where the party sued obtained a verdict, and could not procure his costs front the rrson who instituted the action, he thought fhe Directors might, with great propriety, p a y th e costs out o f t h at f un d which they could appropriate according to their own di: cr.fon. The Hon. proprietor concluded by observing, that Unless he received an assurance that the Directors would take the subject into their consideration, he would give notice of •a motion lative to it at the next General Court. Mr. R. JacxsoN said, that cases of the nature alluded 'to must always be the subject. of individual consideration.; they must depend on the bearing of particular facts and circume stances. Supposing Captain Younghusband, or any other ogi-: cer, to have been placed in the situation describeil—supposin him to have exerted himself to save his ship and cargo from all the dreadful consequences of mutiny—he did not- think the Court of Directors would allow any such fair claim of sub.: stantial merit to go unavisted by them, but he doubted the possibility of laying down such a general principle' AA would atithorizesan officer who had been sued, and who was out of pocket to the amount of his costs, to proceed to the Conipany'X treasury, and demand the payment of those Costr 31r.. CHALMERS said Captain Younghushanu had :made a humble representation to the Court of .Directors, which was , 'rejeCted, as he Und ers tood, on t h e ground that a coMplianCe with his•prayer 'Would form a:tiangetous precedent. • The CHAIRMAN knew not in what way the Court orDirec-; tors could regularly take up subjects of this kind except upcii Official information. He believed it' worild be acknowledged by the Hon. Proprietor, it was by..all mankind, that the Company were not slow in rendering assistance where it war really due. With respect to the gentlefinin Whoge case:had al ready been decided o'n, , if lie thought proper to' - make another application, due attention should be paid to it ; but it would be very inconvenient if matters of that nature were made the sub-' jeer of discussion in the General Court: _ . MT. CHALMERS expressed himself .satisfied with the obser.: vation of the Chairman. tle adverted to Captain Younghus-' band's case, against whom, he stated, it was proved in the Court of Common Pleati that a conspiracy bad been-set on foot. He, however, had procured a verdict ; but he was 1601. out of pocket, his costs having amounted to that mini. 'He Would state to tbat gentleman the necessity of making another application to the Court of Directors, and of setting forth his case in the most forcible manner. The CHAIRMAN said he did not pledge himself to'any result from another application. All he could say was, that the claim should be calmly and soberly considered. After a few words from Mr. CHALME and' Mr. LowHnti, the conversation ended. • APPOINTMENT of a NEW GOVEIINOR-GENERAL. The CHAIR 11IX)i wished before the Ccurt broke up to state,- in answer to the most important matter Which had fallen from the Learned Gentleman (Mr. R. Jackson), that the Proprietors might remain persuaded, that the Court of Directors were fully impresSed with the important duty which was imposed on them in the selection of a Governor-General of India. Mr. T RAM v.—The Learned Gentleman had stated that it was the general wish of the proprietors that the Marquis of Hast ings should be requested to remain in India:: Ile -(Mr. TrantY begged for himself to state that he desired no such thing. Ile was sure that the Marquis of Hastings, would not have call fol. the appointment of a successor unless he 'felt an ardet,t wish to be relieved from the fatigues of office. His ill health had induced him to .. t a k e that s t e p ; s and therefore he (Mr. Trant) did not wish him to remain in India. - The CHAIRmAN said, that from all the private informatien the Directors had received,. it appeared that the M arqui c i..of Hastings wished to come to this country from family cens:- . derations. The Court knew that-an appointment had been. made in his room, which from peculiar circumstances bad failed. It was therefore the duty of the Court of Directors to, look out for a proper successor. He hoped nothing,'more Would be said relative to the Marquis of Hastings,' ineatise only one feeling was entertained with respect to him-very great benefit had been derived from his administration, and the Company sustained a very great, loss by his departure. The Court then adjourned. ExEcuTroN.—Too late Arrival of a ftepriev'e..-L; . , This day, James Corbett and Petrick lioarke, who were tried and convicted at the last Assizes for a highWay-robberY on the person of a gentleman, on the 'Wellington-road, leading front this city to the Barracks, were executed, Pursuant to theii sen tence. We state, with those feelings which arc necessarily created by the circumstance, that in a very short time after the execution, a King's messenger arrived in town with fcreprieVe for the two nnfortUnate men. The troop of cavalry who formed the guard around them to the gallows, and the bearer of the respite, in a chaise with four horses, met near the Office of this Paper, as•the former were returning from the execution, so that an idea may be formed of hoW little more expedition than was used would have been.neeessary to give effect to the element in terpositions of Government. With respect to the legal officers, Whose authority directs on such occasions, it is right to mention, and, we do so with a full knowledge of the fact, that there never was an occasion when there was less room to expect' that a respite would arrive, as only a few days have elapsed since an answer was received to a memorial forwarded on belialf'of the. condemned, which4ated that the law.must take its course. It is also proper to mention, that, the reprieve was not founded on any; the,most remote doubt of the guilt of the men, but was merely an exercise of theprerogattve of mercy, the failure of which, in its aim, is not so.much to be lamented as if the guilt of its objects had been equivocal. S4ll, however, they were selected as proper objects of pardon, and their exlxutiofi, under the circumstance, is little less than horrifying..—rSoutherit Reporter.
