HOUSE OF LORDS-(THIS EVENING.) • The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. The Bishop of NORWICH presented a petition from certain members of the medical profession, praying for legislation for the improvement of their profession. Lord BERNERS presented a petition, praying for an alteration of the law of settlement and the removal of the poor. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the London University, praying to be exempted from the operation of the Charitable Trusts Bill, in the same man ner as the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dur ham. Earl FORTESCUE supported the prayer of the peth tion. PORTSMOUTH RAILWAY BILL. This bill having been read a third time, Lord REDESDALE proposed several amendments, the exact nature of which did not reach us, but which the noble lord explained to be for the better protection of the public. After some discussion, in which Lord MONTEAGLE, Earl Pow's, and Lord BEAUMONT took part, the amend ments were agreed to, and the bill passed. The Whittlewood, otherwise Whittlebury, Forest Bill was read a second time. CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL. This bill passed through committee, an amendment being inserted to exempt the London University from its operations. INCOME TAX BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Lord CLANCARTY rose to make some observations on the extension of the bill to Ireland, and was [LEFT SPEAKING.] 'ROUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Carlisle Canal and Port Carlisle Railway ; East Lan cashire Railway (No. 2) (Southport, &c.) ; Leamington, Warwick, and Stratford-upon-Avon Railway ; Leeds Northern Railway ; Newport, Abergavenny, and Here ford Railway (Hereford, &c.) ' • St. Ives and W e st Corn wall Junction Railway ; St. Ives (Cornwall) Harbour ; Worcester and Hereford Railway ; Holmfirth Reservoirs (No. 2.) The reports upon the following bills were considered and agreed to, and the bills were ordered to be reed a third time :—Dewsbury, Heckmondwike, and Batley Water ; Monmouthshire Railway and Canal ; Nant wich and Woore Road ; West Cornwall Railway ; South Wales Mineral Railway. The following bills were read a second time :—Baroda and CzAltral India Railway ; Imperial Continental Gas ; Londonderry, Enniskillen, and Sligo Railway (No. 2). HOLME -RESERVOIRS (No. 2) BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Mr. COBDEN presented two petitions from Holm firth, setting out the loss of life and damage which had been occasioned by the late casualty in the town in con sequence of the embankment of the reservoir giving way, and praying that the bill be not passed into law'. The SPEAKER observed that the petitions ought to have been presented to the Private Bill-orice: Mr. COBDEN said he had presented them to the house as they related to a question of publiciinportance. The petitions were not received. Mr. COBDEN then moved that the bill be read a second time this day six months, on the ground that the reservoir was not necessary for the interests of the manufacturers in the valley, and that it was utterly impossible to have it so constructed as to render it en tirely safe, and to relieve the minds of the inhabitants from all anxiety. The bill was promoted by the mortga gees of the reservoir, through whose neglect the late fetal accident happened, and he believed that they would not under this bill have sufficient funds to maintain the new reservoir in perfect repair. Mr. B. DENISON, as chairman of the committee to whom the bill was referred, said it was supported by the majority of the millowners in the valley, and that the committee was of opinion that it . should be reported fa vourably to the house. A yearly inspection of the works was required by the bill. Viscount GODERICH supported the bill. Mr. LABOUCHERE thought the house ought to know whether the committee had specially directed their attention to the question of public safety. Sir J. SHELLEY also considered that the committee ought to state whether they were satisfied that they had taken precautions to prevent a recurrence of the casualty. Mr. B. DENISON explained that powers had been given to the parties to raise an ample sum of money yearly for the repair of the embankments and other works. Sir R. H. INGLIS thought that no case had been made out for disturbing the decision of the committee. Mr. MUNTZ supported the bill. After some further discussion, in which Mr. C ross l e y, Mr. flume, and Mr. Moyer took part, The house divided, when there appeared—. For the third reading Against it.. 129 Maj0rity............ The bill was then read a third time and passed. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. C. BERKELEY, a new writ was ordered to be issued for Stroud, in the room of Lord Moreton, now Earl of Ducie, who has been called to the House of Peers. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against Lord John Russell's Education Bill ; also against the inspection of nunneries. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from the committee of postmasters, praying that post-horses and carriages be exempted from the assessed taxes. TAUNTON ELECTION. Mr. HUTT brought up the report of the Taunton committee, already published in The Sun, declaring that Sir J. W. Ramsden, Bart., was duly elected for the borough. LIVERPOOL ELECTION. On the motion of Lord D. STUART, the evidence taken before the Liverpool Election Committee was ordered to be printed. Mr. OLIVEIR ST. PAUL'S.

Mr. BLACKETr wished to ask th e President of the objection to Board of Control, whether he will have submitted lay before the house copies of the case Attorney-General and Solicitor-General with to the to the right of the Court of Directors to prohibit reference Governor-General of India in council from proceeditnzththe the consideration of certain legislative measures, proceeding alluded to in Question 2,083 of the Minutes of Evidence taken before the select committee of the House of Lords on Indian Territories, and of the opinion givon by the said Attorney-General and Solicitor-General. Sir C. WOOD said it was not usual to lay cases and opinions of the law officers of the Crown on the table of the house, and he must decline to accede to the request. NIZAM'S DOMINIONS. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE wished to ask the Presi- dent of the Board of Control whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to sanction the confiscation of the Nizarn's dominions, which the Governor-General of India had declared his intention to enforce. Sir C. WOOD said he had not heard from ' ndia on the subject, and therefore the question was premature. INSPECTION OF NUNNERIES. In reply to a question from Mr. NEWDEGATE, Mr. PHINN said he had no prospect of being able to bring on his motion on this subject under a month. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Lord STANLEY moved, by way of amendment, "That, in the opinion of this house, further information is neces sary to enable Parliament to legislate with advantage for the permanent government of India ; and that, at this late period of the session, it is inexpedient to pro ceed with a measure which, while it disturbs existing arrangements, cannot be considered as a final settlement." In moving this amendment the noble lord said it was not his intention to follow the right hon. gentleman who introduced this bill through all the topics he felt it ne2essary to introduce to the house. He did not ask the house to pronounce any opinion upon the future Government of India. All that he wanted the house to do was to delay coming to any decision upon this great question until the committee now sitting upon the subject bad time to make their report, and the country to consider it. This was too great a question to be dealt with at the fag end of the session, and hence he wished for delay. Only let the house remember that they had been sitting since November last, and yet it was not until recently that the bill was introduced. Now, the house must almost necessarily adjourn about the 10th or 11th of August ; and that being so, he wanted to know the time the house had to devote to the affairs of India, looking at the many financial measures which had yet to be disposed of. The history of Parliament furnished no precedent for a measure of this importance being brought forward at this late period of the session, and in support of this assertion, the noble lord went at some length into "Hansard," to show in former Parliaments, when a measure for the Government of India had to be passed, it was invariably brought at the very outset of the ses sion ; but, independently of that, the noble lord re marked that, in the present instance, there was more than ordinary necessity for delay. Next session the house might be in possession of a most valuable report from its committee, while the general impression in the public mind that there ought to be no legislation upon this subject until it had been fully ascertained how the present Government of India had worked. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (Front the Registrar-General's Report.) The public health is now in a more satisfactory state. The weekly deaths registered in London were, at the beginning of April, above 1,300 ; in May they averaged more than 1,100 ; in the week that ended last Saturday the number fell to 294. In the ten weeks corresponding to last week, of the years 1843-52, the average number was 896, which, if raised in proportion to increase of population, becornes 986. Hence it appears that the actual mortality of the week is less than the estimated amount by 6:l—a result more favourable than has been obtained during a long period. • The nutnber of fatal cases arising from typhus, con tinued, remittent fever , &c., which in the p rev i ous wee k (endiug the 11th June) 59, declined last week to 35 ; these from small pox from 6 to 2 ; measles decreased in the two weeks from 25 to 20 ; phthisis (or consumption) from 163 to 131 ; pneumonia, from 62 to 45. On the other hand, scarlatina rose from 30 to 39 ; hooping-cough from 58 to 67 ; bronchitis from 54 to 59. Viewing the fatal diseases in the groups in which they are classified, it is seen that that those affecting the respiratory organs alone are in excess of the corrected average. But the nearly constant decrease of this class (which does not in clude phthisis) during the last seven weeks is shown in the following numbers-224, 199, 174, 162, 129, 136, and 127. In the Trinity sub-district, St. Mary, Newington, at 3, Uxbridge -place, on 3d, 9th, 11th, and 13th June, three sons and a daughter of a corn porter, aged re spectively, 6,6, 3 years, and 1 year, died, the first of "pertussis (three weeks), rubeola (one week), convul sions," two others of pertussis, also after three weeks' illness, and the last of " rubeola (24 days), pertussis (14 days)." Last week the births of 742 boys and 667 girls, in all 1,409 children, were registered in London. In the cor responding weeks of the eight years 1845-52, the average number was 1,348. , At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29198 in. The reading of the barometer increased from 29 . 59 in. at the beginning of the week, to 29 . 94 in. by 911. p.m. on the 15th ; remained at this reading nearly till 9h. p.m. on the 17th : and decreased to 2919 in. by the end of the week. The mean temperature was 58 . 3 degrees, which is 1 degree below the average of the same week in thirty-eight years. The mean daily temperature was below the average on 4 days, above it about 2 deg. on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Monday, when the wind blew from the north-west, and I'ls in. of rain fell, the mean temperature was 9 . 1 deg below the aver age. The highest temperature occurred on Thursday, and was 74 deg. ; the lowest was on Friday, 491 deg. The greatest difference between the dew-point tempera ture and air temperature was 19'5 deg., and occurred on Thursday ; the difference fell to 0 deg. on Monday ; the mean difference of the week was 7.1 deg. The wind blew from the north on the first three days, and after wards from the south-west. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.

(Hear, hear.) Mr. SULLIVAN having briefly replied, The amendment was put and negatived, and the original resolution was carried unanimously. The Court adjourned. A quarterly general Court of Directors and Proprie tors of the East India Company was held yesterday, at Leadenhall-street. Mr. Russell Ellice, Chairman of the Court of Directors, presided. The minutes of the last quarterly court were read and confirmed. Captain DUNLOP rose to order, for the purpose of complaining of the statement that had appeared in the papers of that morning, viz., that the resolution of the previous day had been carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said the Court had nothing to do with the statements that appeared in the public papers. The committee on bye-laws for the ensuing year was then appointed. Colonel DICKENSON then rose, pursuant to notice, to call the attention of the court to the case of the Ameers Scinde. The hon. proprietor, in a low tone of voice, read the opinions that had been expressed by various chairmen of the company as to the injustice that had been done to those princes. He believed that the unanimous feeling of the directors was in favour of the Ameers, but they were restrained from giving expres sion to their opinions by the fear of offending the Minis ter of the day. In the blue book which he held in his hand, and which had been laid upon the table of the court, there was superabundant evidence of the inno- cence of these men and of the injustice which had been inflicted upon them. The hon. and gallant proprietor concluded by moving—" That this court is of opinion that the patrimonial estates of the late Meer Roostum of Kyrpoor, which had been fraudulently appropriated by Meer Ali Morad, and which have been recently resumed by the British Government, should be restored to Mahomed Hassan, and the other sons of the late Meer Roostum ; or that an equivalent stipend in lieu thereof, be granted to them and their descendants ; also th a t like provisions be made for the sons of the late Meer Mobarreck." Mr. LEWIN' seconded the resolution. He observed that it was admitted' on all hands that a great wrong had been done, and justice was up to the present time withheld. He maintained that they were bound by their Act of Parliament to afford redress to these princes. It was owing to their neglect of this great principle that they had fallen so much in the estimation of the public. It was the practice of that court to refuse redress to ap peals from India, and he would prove it from the docu ments of their own officials'. The hon. proprietor was about to refer to other cases, when The CHAIRMAN reminded him that the question before them related to the case of Ali Morad and the Ameers of Seinde. Mr. LENIN bowed to the decision of the chair. He trusted that the sense of justice of that court would in duce it to adopt the resolution submitted by Colonel Dickenson, and do an act of tardy justice to these princes. • Mr. AYTOUN rose to offer a suggestion that it would be advisable to modify the resolution so as to put it in the form of a recommendation to the Court of Directors to take the case of the Ameers into their consideration. Subsequent investigation having shown that the Go vernment of India was wrong, he must say that he thought these unfortunate men were fairly entitled to the consideration of the court. The CHAIRMAN said the court must be aware, and nobody more than the hon. and gallant colonel, that • there existed as much sympathy on that side of the bar as on the other on behalf of the ex-Ameers of Scinde and their descendants. He was happy to tell him that that the whole of the circumstances were under the consideration of the India Government, which was anxious to deal with it in the most liberal spirit. He could hardly enter into the details, as the case was under the consideration of the Governor-General, and he had no doubt, notwithstanding what had been said about broken promises, made, from time to time, that they were in process of fulfilment, and that in a short time such arrangements would he made in behalf of the ex-Ameers as would lead to the restoration of these men to their families. With these few words, he hoped, as no time would be lost in carrying out the arrangement, that the hon. and gallant colonel would withdraw his re solution, as, in its present shape, it was impossible that the court could pass it. He hoped, therefore, it would be withdrawn. Colonel DICKENSON had the fullest reliance in the : statement of the chairman, but wished him to state what the arrangement was to be. The CHAIRMAN said it could hardly be expected ,that he should do so. \ Mr. LEwIN objected to the withdrawal of the resolu tion. Justice was an abstract right, and admitted of no compromise. The CIIAIRMAN would then feel it his duty to move the previous question. The resolution of Colonel Dickenson was then put and negatived, and the previous question carried. Mr. LEWIN then brought before the court the case of the court-martial held upon certain men of the 6th Regiment of Light Cavalry of Madras. It was a ques tion which had been before the court several times, and was likely to be several times more, unless justice was done to these men. The motion he was about to sub , mit to the court was for the production of papers show ing the number of men still suffering in consequence of' the proceedings instituted by the Marquis of Tweeddale; and whether they were stiffering under the orders of the Commander in Chief, or from the result of a court-mar tial, with the punishment awarded to each, &C: The hon. proprietor then proceeded to detail the circum stances connected with the mutiny in the 6th Madras Cavalry which had occasioned the court-martial, con tending that the men had acted in error and ignorance, and that they had been treated with great severity and hardship and injustice, no proceedings having taken place till nine months after the mutiny had occurred, and the men all the time performing their duty in the ordinary way. The sentence of the court-martial strongly recommended them to mercy, although two of them were actually executed. Mr. SULLIVAN seconded the motion. He had heard with great satisfaction that it was the intention of the court to do justice to the ill-treated Ameers of Scinde. He had always considered the case of Scinde one of the foulest blots upon the administration of the Indian go vernment. It was gratifying to find that the Court of Directors were now disposed, where a case of injustice or wrong was proved before them, to grant redress ; and having announced their intention of doing justice to the Ameers, he thought these unfortunate troopers of the 6th Madras Cavalry were fully entitled to the merciful consideration of the court. The CHAIRMAN said this was the seventh time the question was brought before the court. The events occurred in 1845. and as no persons were now suffering under the sentence of the court-martial, their sentences having expired, and they having been set at liberty, he did not think it was judicious to enter again into the discussion of the case. He should, therefore, call upon the court to negative the motion. After a few Words from Mr. LEWIN, the question was put and negatived. Captain DUNLOP then proceeded at some length to comment upon the measure proposed for the future go vernment of India, and suggesting various amendments and modifications in the management and constitution of the Indian Government. He concluded by moving for the production of certain returns connected with the interest on the debt of India. Some other proprietors afterwards addressed the court on the subject of the new India bill, most of the argu ments being a repetition of those of the two previous days. Major OLIPHANT, before the court adjourned, wished to notice a statement made by a noble lord in the House of Locds, with regard to the person connected with the cotton cultivation in India. He had no hesitation in stating that he was that director, and he would ask the chairman to place the papers connected with that matter upon the table, so that the proprietors would have an opportunity of judging for themselves. The assertions of the noble lord regarding the questions said to have been mooted ! when he was elected to a seat in the direction were utterly without foundation. (Hear.) Mr. HumE wished to know what steps it was intended to take to place the resolutions and opinions of that court before Parliament ? The greatest ignorance pre vailed upon the subject of the Indian Government both in and out of Parliament, and he thought it would be advisable to have their sentiments embodied in petitions to both houses of Parliament. He strongly deprecated the system of secresy that had hitherto been pursued, and hoped some safeguard would be introduced to secure publicity to their proceedings. The CHAIRMAN said they had not lost a moment's time in communicating to the Board of Control the re solutions passed yesterday, and they would immediately take into consideration what further steps they ought to adopt. The court then adjourned. ROWING MATCH BETWEEN JOHN MACKINNEY AND ALFRED CHITTY.—The long-talked-of smilers race for 50/. between these men, both of whom belong to Richmond, and have earned much celebrity in a number of spirited contests in which they have been engaged, took place yesterday, and, considering the threatening aspect of the weather, was extremely well attended. The distance was from Putney to Mortlake, with tide, and Mackinney the favourite, at 5 and 6to 4. An even and capital start was effected between the men, immediately after which Mackinney drew in advance, maintained it throughout, and won easily. SLAVERY.—The Alton, (Illinois) Telegraph, reports the escape of slaves. It says :—" Slaves are running away from Missouri at the present time in battalions. Three belonging to Mr. R. Meek, of Weston, ran away on Wednesday of last week, two of whom were afterwards apprehended ; they were making for the plains. Fifteen made a stampede from Ray county the week before, and took the line of their march for lowa. Several were captured in Grundy County, but the larger number made good their escape. It would be a glorious thing for Missouri if all her slaves should take it into their heads to run away. If she only knew it, they are one of the greatest drawbacks to her advancement and prosperity." The New York Journal of Commerce remarks on the scarcity of labour in the south— " We yesterday conversed with a southern planter from the northern part of Georgia, who bas come on here to engage men to work on his plantation. He has com menced harvesting, and requires additional help ; but the enhanced value of slaves since the abolition agitation places it beyond his ability to purchase a large supply, and white labour can be employed more economically than that of hired slaves."

She is to run on the Mexi can Gulph station, which requires a steamer of consider able power and speed, in consequence of the severe weather experienced there. From the speed of the Clyde on her trial trip, she is likely to prove a valuable acqui sition to the West India fleet. She is to be commanded by Captain Wilson, late of the West India mail packet Dee. A SCOTCH ACTJEON.-A pretty village on the neigh bouring coast, frequented by summer visitors, was lately the scene of rather an amusing incident. Taking advan tage of a lovely summer day, two young ladies betook themselves to a sheltered spot a little way up the coast, where they hoped to indulge in an unmolested bathe. After the usual preliminary proceedings, they had just accom plished the first few dips, when, to their consternation and disgust, they observed a young gentleman of an in quiring turn of mind seated on a neighbouring rock and intensely enjoying the scene. The impertinence was aggravated by the fact that a powerful opera-glass was made the instrument of a more minute inspection of their aquatic evolutions. The blushing but indignant maidens remained in the water as long as was consistent with comfort and security, in the hope that the stranger would withdraw and leave them to, at least, their necessary toilet, when, to their horror, he was observed to descend calmly from his elevation, divest himself of his apparel, and proceed to bathe in close proxi mity. But he had strangely miscalculated the results, for the spirit of the maidens was at last aroused, and they secretly determined on a bold revenge. With an appearance of insulted modesty they timidly withdrew from the sea, and, concealing themselves behind a con venient rock, proceeded to dress; then, folding up their bathing gowns, they rushed upon the garments of the gentleman and bore them off in triumph. The unfortunate man instantly comprehended his posi tion. A succession of shouts and supplications fol lowed the ladies in their flight, growing fainter and fainter as the distance increased ; while the "gentleman," with considerable modesty, remained in the water, evincing great agitation, and imploring restitution, at first with stentorian lungs, and subsequently in animated and appropriate gestures ; but in vain,—the insulted maidens were inexorable. As the spot was very secluded, some hours elapsed before he could make his situation known. At length a gr i nn i ng rustic made his appearance, and ~einformed_sys. him that the " t wa l e ddi es h a d l e f t h i s 'l' a wench at the green, a mile awa', wha wadna, gi them back . wit out he paid a pun' for taking care o' them, forbTyhebeing a penalty for affronting the leddies the garments, a c dookin'." penalty was paid on the restitution of village, where tae the un l uc k y wight quietly left the conduct of the darnese'lias alre a dy k nown, and the offender is now sufferings?. from a severe att ac k o f then n. publicly a pp rove d of. The matism.—Ediroburgi t , ava ENT INDIA HOUSE. The special general Court of the East India Company was held by adjournment at their house, in LeAdenhall street, on Tuesday, for the purpose of continuing the con sideration of the correspondence regarding the arrange , ment proposed by her Majesty's Ministers for the future government of India ; Mr. Ellice in the chair. • Colonel SYKES said, if he were to discuss the subjects that impressed themselves upon his mind at the then present moment, and were to occupy the Court with the details he possessed to illustrate the important question before them, he should exhaust their patience before he exhausted his materials. Hitherto, the question before the public consisted most in a tissue of assertions on the one part, and he was sorry to say of a very little more than a tissue of denials on the other part. It was quite right that stewards should be subject to periodical ex aminations, but a just steward should be made respon sible for his own acts only, and not for those over which he had no control. The principal heads of accusation against the Court of Directors (he would not go into the -puerilities contained in the petitions presented to the House of Commons, for they were, in one word, eras= ignorantice)—the principal accusations were, that there had been oppressive taxation, and, as a consequence, a dimunition of the population, with misery, suffering, and hopleseness ; that the company had not produced cotton to meet the call of the Manchester manufacturers ; that the cost of the col lection of the Indian revenue had been enormously wasteful ; that the directors had abused their patron age by not sending out to India persons of talent and efficiency ; and that the India-house establishment was an enormous and wasteful cost. Now, the India Minister, in his speech of five hours' duration, showed that in the last 20 years there had been a satisfactory progress in every department of the administration of the government, whether originated at home or in India ; and that if there were any shortcomings they were owing to circumstances over which the Court had no control whatever. With regard to the population of India, he would enter into a few statistics. • In 1850-51 a careful census was made of the Madras pre sidency. In 1839 the population of that presidency was taken at 13,967,395; in 1850-51 the census gave 22,301,657. Admitting that the difference could not altogether have arisen from natural causes, still there must have been a large natural increase of population. In 1831 the little island of Bombay contained a popu lation of 162,570 ; in 1849 the population amounted to 566,119. The manifest increase of the population of India could, not, therefore, be questioned. With an increased population there must have been increased industry. Again, there was an increase in the exports from India between the years 1834-5 and 1849-50 of 123 k per cent. It had been thrown in his teeth by a Radical that the increased exports showed an increased exaction from the people ; but what were the imports into India during those two periods ? In 1834-5 the imports were 6,154,1291., in 1849-50 they were 13,696,6961., b e i ng an i ncrease of 1221 per cent. Add to this that between 1834.5 and 1849-50 33,257,4871. of bullion was imported into India which never got out of that country ag a i n . Si nce t h e year 1800 the total amount of bullion absorbed in India was 100,000,0001. sterling. The hon. and gallant proprietor then stated the great improvements that had been made in the means of com munication in India, at the same time observing that for eight months in the year India was all road. After expressing his disapproval of the proposed nomination of six directors by the Crown, and his wish that the delay of legislation should be to the Greek kalends, rather than that the bill should pass in its present shape, the hon. and gallant proprietor concluded by disclaiming all feeling of partisanship on this question. He hoped the Court and the public would consider that he was an ad vocate of the Court of Directors from an honest convic tion of the truth of the opinions he had expressed. Mr. CLARK supported the resolution. No doubt, as the mover of the amendment had said, the Government had the right to displace the East India Company and to take possession of India, but the question was—were there adequate grounds to justify that step ? To war rant such a course they ought to show that India was misgoverned. Had they done that ! So far from it, the whole speech of Sir C. Wood was a eulogy on the present government of India ; and yet, such was the inconsistency of the right hon. gentleman, he immedi ately after proposed to altogether alter the con s tit u ti on of that court which had thus so well and so wisely go verned India. Mr. MILLS was desirous of noticing the attacks which had been made upon the Court of Proprietors and upon the executive body of the company. He thought it right that they should, as a preliminary step in this discussion, relieve themselves from the load of opprobrium that had been so unscrupulously cast upon them, and, unless they succeeded in doing so, th ey wou ld be unfit to take part in the discussion of this or of any future scheme for the govern ment of India. It had been truly said, that all men who undertook a public trust must render an account of that trust, but when the time of investigation had come and tribunals of both Houses of Parliament had been appointed to investigate and report upon their conduct, they might have expected that they would not have been exposed to personal imputations, and that any comments made on their conduct would have been confined to facts established in evidence: But such had not been the case. The directors had been subject to much animadversion by the public press and by their anonymous contributors, and they had been assailed by a nobleman of great talent, of great Indian knowledge, a member of the highest court of judicature, a member of the committee of the House of Lords, appointed to try the East India Company, and a witness before the committee of the House of Commons. It might have occurred to that distinguished nobleman that the first attribute for the discharge of those important functions was impartiality. But, unluckily, whenever the Court of Directors were named the noble lord seemed to lose all sense of legislative propriety and to think of nothing but of his recal. (Cheers, and laughter.) With this angry and unstatesmanlike feeling he had endeavoured un all occasions to overwhelm the Court of Directors, and degrade it in public estimation by statements for the most part unfounded. The first charge made against the Court was that of last year—namely, the perversion of patronage. He accused the directors of not regard in, the claims of their Indian servants. That charge was answered by the secretary of the company. who showed that nearly one-third of the patronage went to the sons of their Indian servants. At that time he (Mr. Mills) had the curiosity to ascertain in what manner this friend of India had bestowed his patronage, and he discovered that the noble lord had done as others did—had given it to his own friends and acquaintance, but among whom not one Indian was t o b e f oun d. H e (Mr. Mills) should not have alluded to this if, after the error had been pointed out, any apology had been made for it ; but in lieu of that the noble lord, on a subse quent occasion, in alluding to their civil patronage, said,—" It seemed to him most scandalous and most in jurious that the system now existing should be pre served ; that any man, never heard of except within the narrow limits of his own private acquaintance, should have the power, if he should think it agreeable to him to become a director of the East India Company, to ad vertise himself as a candidate, and, by dint of the most judicious bowing during a period of seven years, at last to obtain that which he miscalled the object of his ambition ;' that he should then be able, with paternal kindness, and prepossession, and fondness, to review his young sons, and at once t o designate the one who might appear to him to possess some superior ability to the rest as the future governor of a province as populous as Canada ; that he should select another standing perhaps a little lower in ability, a future judge of a great empire • and that he should t urn t o th e most stupid or indolent among them and say, You are unable to pass for the civil service, I shall be com pelled to give you nothing but a direct commission ; you will die -a general, and you will come home at a later period than your brothers, and with much inferior emolument, but such is the necessary consequence of your deficient industry of talent ;'—was it decent that in 24 cases in every year that passed over our heads this scene might take place, and that the persons so de signated, all perhaps equally incompetent, should be sent out in the different departments—in the army, or the revenue, or the judicial branch—to discredit the country ?" Now, that was a grossly exaggerated state ment, as h%d been proved by the hon. baronet (Sir J. Hogg) in the House of Commons ; for out of 688 appoint ments only 159 had been given to the relations of direc tors. He could for himself say, having with his father and uncle altogether had a seat in that court for 68 years, that only one member of his family had been in the service of the East India Company. He claimed no credit for that, because, being connected with the great commercial interests of the country, they had been able to do better for them. What he wished to state was, that the committee of the House of Lords being sitting, that was the proper place for these statements to be in quired into, and then their truth or falsehood would be established. But the real question was, had they or not provided able and efficient civil and military servants for India ? In the presence of many of those distin guished men, it was hardly for him to speak ; but it was universally admitted that for high moral feeling, for in tegrity, for ability, for general efficiency, those services had produced men unsurpassed, if not unequalled, by any service in the world. (Cheers.) India servants were sent to every quarter of the globe to overcome difficul ties which the servants of the Crown never were able to grapple with. The hon. director them proceeded to comment upon the evidence given by Lord Ellen borough and Lord Hardinge before the corn mittee of the House of Lords, and after passing a wpm eulogium on the great services rendered by Mr. Melvill a the secre tary of the Court of Directors of the East India Com pany, for a long series of years, especially in the pre paration of the papers used on the occasion of the re newal of the company's charter in 1833, concluded by expressing a hope that the Court of Proprietors would remember that up to this hour the East India Company had been as glorious as it had been successful, and that they would not be a party to any measure which they, i n their consciences, believed was calculated to destroy or impair the independence of that court, and thus render them a degraded and inefficient instrument for the future and lasting good government of India. (Cheers.) Dr. Sayer, Mr. Alderman Salomons, Mr. Gray, M r . Twining, r. Ripley, and Mr. Lewin then severally spoke in support of the motion. The CHAIRMAN said, before the resolution was put, he wished just to observe that the Court of Directors were unanimously of opinion that the question as to the future government of India ought at once to be decided. Her Majesty's Ministers having proposed to continue the system of a double government, the directors trusted that that system would be adopted. The proprietors bad seen from the correspondence that the Court of Directors did not entirely approve of the alterations which were proposed to be made ; but he was in hopes that, fortified by the opinion of the proprietors, the Court of Directors wo u ld, on su b m itti ng their resolution SPURTING INTELLIGENCE.

This match was brought to a conclusion yesterday, when it was found that the Marylebone Club were defeated by 35 runs. The match having been resumed by Adams and Mr. Balfour again taking their station at the wickets, the two batsmen ran a successful career, until the former had obtained a score of 23, consisting of a four, couple of threes, two brace of twos, and five singles ; and the latter had increased his number to nine, by two threes, a two, and a one. Besides those men tioned above, there were no other double numbers than these two, and on the last wicket falling, the Marylebone having in this innings accumulated 79 only, Sussex were proclaimed to be the winners by the majority already mentioned. The following was the score : SUSSEX. First Innings. Second Innings. 4 run out Picknell, b Nixon .. Dean, b Grundy E. Napper, b Nixon Wisden, c Nicholson, b Grundy 0 b Royston ....

TWENTY-TWO OF MANCHESTER (BROUGHTON.) This match was resumed and brought to a conclusion at Manchester on Saturday, the latter result being in eon trad;etion to the prognostications of various wise per sons, to the effect that because the Eleven were not able to reach Manchester until late on Thursday, it would be imposible for the match to be "played out." The final state of the score was as follows :—The Eleven—first innings, 175 ; second, 70. Broughton Club —first innings, 127 ; second, 120. The Manchester (Broughton) Club were consequently declared the victors by two wickets. THE ELEVEN OF ENGLAND v. TWENTY-TWO OF DERBY, This great, and now annual match, was commenced on the Holmes ground, Derby, on Monday last, in the presence as usual, notwithstanding the previously incle ment weather, of a large number of spectators. In ad ii tion to the other accommodations, an immense marquee was erected for the reception of the ladies, and afforded, as it were, the head-quarters to the female branches of all the leading families of that part of the country. Derbyshire having won the toss, went in first. It will be seen by a perusal of the score that they were unable to obtain more than 77 runs, and that of the 22 batsmen two only succeeded in making up double figures—namely, Mr. Pearce and C. Tinley. The Eleven then went to the wickets, and when the stumps were drawn on Tues day had obtained a score of 103 for the loss of eight wickets. The play on Tuesday, in consequence of the rain, was put an end to at an early hour. The score stood thus : DERBYSHIRE. First Innings. Nix, b Clarke C. K.
