" The Court experience much gratification from the assurance conveyed in your letter, that her Majesty's Minis ters are prepared to do justice to the company in these respects. A special general court of this company was held yes terday, at their house in Leadenhall-street, to receive a communication regarding the arrangement proposed by her Majesty's Ministers for the future government of India ; Mr. Russell Ellice in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, the Court of Proprietors had been specially summoned in order to consider the plan which her Majesty's Government had proposed for the future government of India. The secretary would read the correspondence which had taken place between the Court of Directors and the Board of Control on the sub ject of the future government of India. The basis of the plan proposed by the Government was the continuance of the government of India by means of the East India Company. This was higiily satisfactory. With regard to the proposed changes in the constitution of the Court of Directors, his opinion was that it would be best to continue in its integrity that system which had hitherto worked so well. If, however, the proposed alteration should be found to be advantageous to India, the Court of Directors, subject to the concurrence of the Court of Proprietors, would willingly adopt it, as they were quite prepared to concur in any changes calculated te strengthen and invigorate the existing system, and effectually to adapt it to the requirements of the people of India, and to the development of the resources of that country. (Hear, hear.) The Secretary then read the following correspon dence : The Simoom, 18, iron screw troop-frigate, Captain Henry Smith, hauled out of dock this morning, and was taken over to the guard-ship's moorings on the Gosport side of the harbour.

In the absence of any statement of the grounds for these two important changes, the Court cannot admit, but, on the contrary, must be permitted altogether to deny, the necessity or the expe diency or either of them. " They observe that the field of selection for the pro posed Government nominees is limited to persons who have been in the Indian service. The Court appeal with confidence to the fact, that under the present mode of elec tion their body has included some of the most distinguished of the servants of India, and that others might, had they chosen, have been elected. _ _ _ _LATTRENT'S CASINO, ARGYLL ROOMS.— ro ad , lokasee, CHARLES E.

MACDONALD, Secretary. " The Court cannot dismiss from their minds the fear that ere long political bias may exercise influence in the selection of nominees, notwithstanding the restriction to Indian servants ; and they are also apprehensive that the introduction partially, of the elements of nomination may, without adding to the efficiency of the body, prove a source of discord. We have no doubt that her Majesty's Ministers will guard against these evils, so far as they can, in their choice of Directors ; and the Court trust most sincerely that the apprehensions which they have felt it their duty to express may not prove well founded. "The great object is to secure to the Court perfect inde pendence, without which they must cease to be a fitting instrument for conducting the government of India ; and in this point of view, although we are not prepared to contend that the reduction of numbers to the extent pro posed is incompatible with independence, yet it would, we think, be far better to continue the present number. "Her Majesty's Ministers do no more than justice to the memberrorthe Cotat when they express their confidence that the personal sacrifices which individual directors may be called upon to make will be cheerfully submitted to, in furtherance of any plan that Parliament may deem to be essential for the public interests of this country and of India. The Court trust that no consideration will ever influence them, collectively or individually, but that of the prosperity of the most important of the possessions of the British Crown, and the happiness of its vast population. "The proposal for nomination students to Haileybury by a scheme of general competition is one to which the Court will offer no objection. They have not much con fidence in the satisfactory operation of any such plan; but if it shall produce a higher amount of moral and intellectual qualification than that which exists in the civil service, the Court will rejoice in the attainment of such a result.

" Sir,—Referring to the period fixed bylaw for the con tinuance of the government of the British territories in India under the East India Company, and referring also to the statement made in Parliament of the intention Of her Majesty's Ministers to propose this sessien a legislative arrangement for the future government of India, which, although embracing, iiikdacations both in this country and in - India, will be founded on the system now existing, we are requested by the Court of Directors to express to you their anxious desire to receive as early a communica tion as possible of the modifications which it may be in tended to prepose. " We beg to add, on behalf of the Court of Directors, and, we may confidently say, on behalf also of the Court of Proprietors, that any changes calculated to strengthen and invigorate the existing system, and effectually to adapt it to the requirements of the people of India, and to the developement of the tesources of that country, cannot fail to secure the cordial concurrence of the East India Com pany.

THE ENCAMPMENT .AT CHOIS'FIAM. IN the summer of 1851 , we had an Exhibition of JR. Art, and the excitement created by this has scarcely abated, when lo 1 we are promised an Exhibition of Arms. Chobham-com mon is to furnish us with an uncommon spectacle. This magnificent military fete will attract thousands from all parts of the kingdom, and will create a ferment of some five weeks dura tion. Special preparations are being made for this chivalric celebra tion; and as fashion will farm an essential eharacteristic of the same, L. HYAM has been on the alert, and has replenished his Establishment with a variety of new styles in gentle men's Summer attire. A light and elegant Over-coat will be almost indispensable on this great occasion. Sultry and showery weather, smoke, clouds of dust, and crowds of spectators may be reasonably calculated upon, and all these conco mitants will render this description of dress above referred to highly requisite. L. Hyam feels no hesitation in pronouncing all the Summer Gar ments which he supplies (Dress Coats, Frock Coats, Oxonian Coats, Lounging Jackets, 'Rowers, Vests, Sze ), as displaying all the excel lence and fashion for which his Establishment (situated in the centre of the City), has ever been pre-eminently distinguished. The savings which purchasers will realize by L. Ilyam's moderate prices will materially counterbalance the expenses wlVeli the forth coming military exhibition must necessarily incur, and therefore, on this score also, a purchase of the proprietor's summer dress is advisable. OBSERVE !—L. IIYAM begs to state that he has no connexion with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch-street, City (established upwards of 15 years), is the only place of busi ness carried on by L. HYAM, where the public call be supplied with good, durable, and fashionable Clothing, of sound workmanship, at such econnnical prices as must defy all competition. L.

PHYSICIANS, SUMMER ATTIRE FOR ALL CLASSES. TEHASHIONABLE SUMMER DRESS the magnitudevlF d e d and B. er l f O e e S t e S a a n iz) fd Stheir unrivalled business; pl a a n y d s during the last few weeks thousands on thousands have been fur nished with the eleeancies of the season by E MOSES and SON. The Magnificent Stock of Summer Goods has been replenished by those extraordinary resources of commercial machinery which no other tradesman in the world could either establish or keep in opera tion. Ii is now quite unnecessary to mention the surprising accom modations afforded by the gigantic Establishment of E. MOSES and SON in the City, and its magnificent branch in the West-end, for im mediate selection of Summer Dress, either to order or ready-made ; but the very economical charges made by E. MOSES and SON are the most notable affairs in the business transactions of the times. It is impossible to enumerate the Articles of Dress newly invented by E. MOSES and SON for Summer Wear, and to particularise the ap propriate styles which the most distinguished artists in the world have produced would far exceed the customary space of an adver tisement. Therefore E. MOSES and SON state that Summer Attire for every person, adult and juvenile, for every station and pursuit, for appearance in public and for comfortable wear in business or at home, is prepared at their Establishment, which, with every elegant description of Hats, Caps, Hosiery, &c., Sce., are offered for consider ably lower prices than are charged elsewhere. EMIGRANTS to all climates or to any country where business provides a field for industry, and where skill is required for the accu mulation of capital, let their profession be whatever it may they will find the most suitable and the Cheapest Clothing at the Establish ment of E. MOSES and SONS ; and as Outfits are indispensable for every Emigrant, the long and perfect experience of E. MOSES and SON in Outfitting every class of passengers is a great advantage to Emigrants, both in the quality and the price of the goods they require. Those who have investments to make will find the Wholesale De partment of E. 310 , 4 ES and SON'S 'Establishment more advanta geous than any other trading depot in the world ; and the well known superiority of E. MOSES and SON'S manufacture rende the goods instant and profitable sale in any colony. A rs separate de partment is kept for Outfitting. Ship-sailing infor d mation, and full n, lists of outfits for ladies and gentlemen , may be ha on applicatio or post free to any part of the kingdom. NOTICE.—The Establishments will be Closed Saturday evening, June 11. CAUTION. —E. MOSES and SON regre t having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishm ent," or " It's the same concern ," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN 01 OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minorles, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

IMPORTANT —Should any article not give satisfaction, it will be exchanged if desired, or, if preferred, the money will be returned without hesitation. All goods are marked in plain figures, the lowest price, from which no abatement can be made. The Establishments are closed from sunset Friday to sunset on Saturdays, when business is resumed till 12 o'clock.

" Sir J. W. Hogg, Bart., M.P., and Russell Ellice, Esq." " India Board, June 1, 1853. " Gentlemen,—l have the honour of enclosing a memo randum of the heads of the arrangement for the govern ment of India which it appears to her Majesty's Govern ment after full and anxious deliberation, that it would be advisable to adopt, proposing for the consideration of Par liament such parts of the plan as require legislative sanction in this country. "The memorandum embraces all suggestions for improve ments in the constitution of the courts of justice, and in some other matters of less importance. " We are fully sensible of the progress that has been made in India during the administration of the govern ment of that country by the East India Company since the passing of the act of 1833, and of the oonstant atten tion which has been paid to this subject by the Court of Directors. " While we are of opinion that by some alteration in the constitution of the Court of Directors, it may be ren dered a still more fitting instrument for conducting the government of our Indian empire, we are most anxious to preserve unimpaired the independence of that body, and its freedom from all undue political influence, on which we believe that its efficiency for executing the high trust re posed in it so essentially depends. " We do not propose any fixed term for the duration of this form of government, as vie think it advisable that it should be open, at any time, to the consideration and re vision of Parliament. "We trust that the changes which we propose in the mode of admission and in the examination of candidates for civil appointments, and for the scientific branches of the Indian army, will tend to raise still further the cha racter of both of those services. 1 " The two most important changes in India are the en largement of the Legislative Council, and an improved constitution of the highest courts of judicature in all the presidencies ; from which we anticipate considerable im provement, not only in the legislation of India, bat also in the modes of proceeding, and in the administration of justice in the courts of that country. "It is unnecessary for me to advert more in detail to the various points embraced in the proposals which I have the honour to enclose, but I shall be very happy upon any of them to afford you further explanations of the views of her Majesty's Government. " We trust that the Court of Directors will believe that our single object has been to devise the means which are, in our judgment, the best calculated to promote the good government of India and the welfare of its inhabitants ; and that they will concur with us in the opinion that these paramount objects have been carefully kept in view in these proposals. "We feel perfectly confident that if the Court should think that the public interests of this country and of India will be benefited by the adoption of this scheme, the personal sacrifices which individual directors may be called upon to make, in order to carry it into effect, will be cheerfully submitted to. " If, indeed, we could have entertained a doubt of the spirit by which we are convinced that they will be actu ated, it would have been entirely removed by the expres sion of their feeling contained in your letter of the 30th of March.—l have, &c., " CHARLES WOOD. " Russell Ellice, Esq. " Major Oliphant." " MEMORANDUM. " HEADS OF THE PROPOSED PLAM FOR THE FUTURE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. "1.

" The Court having always been of opinion that the pre sence in the a dministration of Indian affairs of a body in dependent of political party, and exclusively devoted to the discharge of the duties intrusted to it, is essential to the ,good government of India, it cannot but be satisfactory to them to observe that her Majesty's Ministers have de termined to propose to Parliament to continue the govern ment of India in the East India Company. " The Court have not been inattentive observers of the many attacks recently made upon the company and their system of government ; but they have been content to leave their defence to the development of facts which they well knew would conclusively show that the period since 1834 has been one of great progress in India ; that revenue (independently of that from new acquisitions) and trade have both largely increased ; that public works of =gni "In like manner, if it shall be thought that competition upon admission to Addiscombe, superadded to the severe competition which already exists within the institution, will give to India officers of Engineers and Artillery su perior, or equal, in scientific attainment to those supplied under the present system, the Court will not object, al though such a principle has never, so far as they are in formed, been applied to the Government institutions in this country. " With regard to the 14th head of the memorandum en closed in your letter—namely, The Commander-in-Chief of the Queen's forces in each presidency to the Commander in-Chief of the Queen's forces,' we would entreat that in any arrangement which may be proposed to Parliament on this subject, it may, as at present, be left open to the home authorities to select occasionally for these important commands distinguished officers of the company's service. " The other heads contained in the memorandum are not such as call for any immediate observation from the Court. The whole subject will receive their most attentive con sideration, and any suggestions which may occur to them as important will be communicated to you. " In the meanwhile it becomes the duty of the Court to submit your latter to their constituents. They have accor dinly convened a meeting of the General Court of Proprie tors for Monday next. _ _ " We have, &c., " RUSSELL ELLICE. "J. OLIPHANT. " The Right Hon. Sir Charles Wood, Bart., M.P." Mr. HuarE said, the subject which the Court was called upon to consider was one of grave importance, and required to be considered with the utmost delibera tion. He was, perhaps, the oldest proprietor of that Court, his experience having extended to upwards of fifty-three years in the affairs of the East India Com pany. He took part in the renewal of the charter in 1833, and he little expected that it would be reserved for him to take part in the discussion of the charter in 1853. He was not one who could be said to have flattered the Court of Directors, for he believed few men had taken more trouble to point out the errors of that court than he had done ; but he had never attempted to inter fere with them in the discharge of their important duties. On the contrary, he had always endeavoured to assist them. (Hear.) He had heard with great attention the long statement made by Sir C. Wood, the President of the Board of Control. The papers which had just been read by the secretary made no reference whatever to the interests of India, and to the welfare of the millions that were under the government of the East India Company. On that account he would venture to suggest that the proceedings of the Court should at any rate be deferred. Time was required for deliberation in order that an answer might be given to the contradictory statement of the President of the Board of Control. Ifhe were to take the speech of that right hon. gentleman as a whole he would say that it was highly favourable to the con tinuance of the present Government of India. (Hear.) So far from the right hon. gentleman introducing a sys tem of reform, he, on the contrary, had offered a cheek to all salutary reform ; and he (Mr. Hume) was sorry to say that the committee of the House of Commons now sitting was not a committee calculated to sift out the truth upon this important subject. He had declined to be come a member of that committee because he disap proved of its formation ; but at the request of an hon. friend he allowed his name to be used as one of its mem bers, although he was prepared to expect what had since taken place. The East India Company was now on its trial, as to how far it had committed itself, as was alleged by some parties, or how far it had done good, as was maintained by others. If there was anything he had to deplore, it was the want of information among the people of Eng land as to the affairs of India. On that account he re gretted the secresy with which matters of a public nature were kept within the knowledge of the Court of Direc tors alone. It was owing to that system of concealment that false charges were now made against the company. It had been his desire that every allegation contained in the petitions against the administration of the govern ment of India should have been investigated. They who shrunk from inquiry showed that they had a bad cause. The petitions to which he referred contained grave and important charges ; but the President of the Board of Control treated them as of no importance, and without any evidence being taken to substantiate the allegations, he contented himself with referring to some pamphlet, or newspaper, or private and unpublished correspondence, as a sufficient refutation of those charges. He (Mr. Hume) therefore considered that much which had been stated by the President of the Board of Control was altogether unworthy of notice. He (Mr. Hume), as a member of the committee, moved that evidence should be taken as to the truth of the allegations contained in the petition (which were 14 in number), and that persons should be summoned from India to be examined in re spect to them ; but 15 members of the committee voted against him, and only two in favour of the motion. He had been anxious to have the Manchester petition in quired into, because he was prepared to show that if there had been any check to the improvement of India, it had been by reason of the Manehester trade. (Hear, hear.) He would not enter into details, but when British manufactures of shawls, muslins, and cali coes paid a duty on imports into India, the Indian manufactures were flourishing at Bahar and in Ben gal, and that system of trade brought wealth to the revenue of India ; but since the' produce of English manufactures had been admitted at a duty of 5 per cent., India had been beggared, and then the Court of Direc tors, forsooth, were accused of not having done this and that for the benefit of India. The Government of England, in its fiscal regulations, had been one of the greatest obstacles to the improvement of India. He wished all this to be proved before the committee, and, until it had been, he considered neither the company nor the Government could be prepared to legislate upon this great and important question. He certainly regretted that more attention had not been paid to public works in India. In his opinion the Board of Control had been the principal obstacle. That was a matter which re quired investigation. The result, then, of all he had to say was, that having heard the proposal of her Majesty's Government, he considered the Court of Proprietors ought to be in possession of the papers, and that time should be given for their deliberate consideration. It was his belief that, if time were allowed, it could be shown that all the evils of which they now complained had been brought about by the Board of Control. He could show that, if it had not been for their large and unnecessary acquisitions of territory, and the wasting of blood and treasure, for which the East India Com pany was not at all answerable, British India would now be in a highly flourishing condition. But the wars caned on by Lord Amherst, which had cost not less than 10,000,0001. of money, the subsequent wars in the Punjab, and the now pending war in Burmah —with none of which had the East India Company anything to do, save being called upon to pay the bill —these were the real causes of the present position of your Indian empire ; and then the Board of Control turned round upon you and said, "Look at your debt, look at the 50 odd millions that you owe." (Hear, hear.) Why, he (Mr. Hume) was able to show, that there would have been a surplus revenue since 1833, but for the unhappy wars caused to be carried on by the mismanage ment of the Board of Control. If he was correct in these statements it behoved the Court not to be hasty in their acts. Let them trust public opinion. If they were right they would be borne out by public opinion. (Hear, hear.) The evil of the present system arose not from the Court of Directors acting, but from their not having been al lowed to act. That secret mystery which was so loudly complained of was, he would venture to say, never in tended by the Court of Directors. He had referred to a private report in which Mr. Wigram and another direc tor, in their correspondence with the Government stated that they could not agree in any arr a ngement for the re newal of the charter which would in any way tend to suppress publicity, or infringe on the rights of the pro prietors to have full cognizance of all that concerned their interests. His (Mr. Hume's) belief was that that was the real spirit in which the Court of Directors wished the business of the company to be carried on. (Hear, hear.) The very fact that a special Court of Proprietors anyco u be question t ca i o called e or d by ninemembers fo complaint ahowed th r a t t h i e t w d a is a cu i s n si te o n %! the Court of Proprietors should be a sort of council to the Court of Directors. Although secresy might be essential on some points, publicity ought to be the guid ing principle. He was, therefore, prepared to prove that the evils which had arisen in the Government of India, from the year 1833 to the present time, had been in con sequence of the system of the secret orders of the Board of Control having been carried out without the know ledge of the Court of Directors. He believed the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors consisted of only three members, and that they were bound by an oath not to communicate with their colleagues on any matters coming before them as members of that secret commit tee. He believed it could be proved that if the Affghan ista.n war had come under the deliberation of the Court of Directors, such was the knowledge that many of its members possessed, that the war would never have been entered upon. What would have been the consequence ? Upwards of 13,000,0001. of money and many valuable lives would have been saved. Take the war in Scinde. Did any man for a moment doubt that if the facts had been brought before the Court of Directors they would not have been able to assign a reason why they should not hesitate before they entered upon that conquest ? So, in the same manner, with respect to the Burmese war. The whole proceeding of that war had been, in his opinion, most unsatisfactory. No power was given to the Court of Directors to overrule the Governor- General. The Governor-General could not be called to account. No minutes were kept, no correspondence of a public nature carried on ; so that the people of this country knew not on what ground the war was begun and continued. All was matter of private communi cation between the Governor-General and the Board of Control, by which he was urged on to the most disas trous consequences. It was on these considerations that he wished the Court not to give - any hurried answer to the Goverinient until they had ascertained how far these statements were true. The opinion he had therefore arrived at was, that no good government could result unless every measure underwent full discus sion whenever the President of the Board of Control differed from the " chairs," as it was called, of the Court of Directors. But then it was said that he (Mr. Hume) was against the establishment of the constitutional prin ciple in India. Did any man believe that India was capable of constitutional government ? (Hear, hear.) It would take a long time to bring the people of India to a knowledge and an appreciation of constitutional govern. ment. But, after all, he did not deny that there were many and grave faults in the government of India. In respect to appointments made by Government, no doubt faults had been committed. Let them be remedied. Then as to the Law Commission, it was considered by many from the beginning to be a very great job. He, how ever, had never thought it was bad economy to have a good system of justice, and he always considered it the duty of the Government to afford to the natives speedy and economical justice. These sad many other things he might mention to show the Court that they ought not to express a hasty opinion upon the question now before them. He had on many occasions said that the Court of Directors did not stand up for their rights, and that they yielded on many occasions upon the principle of letting things go on quietly, and of not quarrelling with the Board of Control. He believed that, in many things, if the Court of Directors had asserted an inde pendent opinion, they would have been supported by the proprietors ; and, if publicity had been given to their deliberations, by the public also. But, looking at the question in a £ s. d. point of view, how would the pro posed scheme of Government affect the proprietors ? The Court of Directors were trustees, whose duty it was to pay the dividends to the proprietors, and to take care of the interest in the reserved fund of 2,000,0001. till 1847. Now, the question was, whether they would be running a risk by allowing the position of the Company at this moment to be altered ? Suppose the Imperial Government should assume the entire power over India, what would be the consequence? His solemn belief was, that if that took place, and the Government were to possess India, as it now possessed Canada, India would not remain a dependent on the British Crown for many years. Old as he was, he might in that case live to see that catastrophe. When he looked to Canada, and con sideeed the discontent and rebellion which had oc curred there—and when he looked to the Cape of Good Hope, and saw it almost in a state of revolution from the mismanagement of the Crown, what could be ex pected if such a possession as that of British India were to fall into hands of the Crown. (Hear, hear.) With ' regard to the service of the East India Company, he would ask what service in the world had turned out such men ? He never heard any person who, when com paring one person with another, did not give the supe riority, both in the civil and military branch, to the ser vice of India. He therefore believed it was a delusion to suppose that India could be resumed by the Govern ment of this country with safety. But if India was lost, then, with it, went your dividends. (Hear, bear.) The East India proprietors had no other resource. The guarantee-fund might go on to the year 1874, and then the Government might say, "Take your capital, but we have no dividends to give you." (Hear, hear.) These were questions which made it matter of importance that the subject now before them should be viewed in all its aspects. What was it that the President of the Board of Control proposed should be done ? His whole speech was in favour of continuing things as they were, with the exception of certain changes in regard to the Legis lative and Executive Councils. Nobody doubted for a moment that that would be an advantage. But he did not approve of the exclusion of the natives from the higher offices. That he considered a blot in the proposed arrangement. Having had a most extensive experience in India, he found the natives honest and useful people, and no individual need to have been afraid to point atten tion to them. Give them an object in view, and pay them adequately, and there was no one who would say that they were not capable of discharging their duty in any depart ment to which they might be appointed. He would now turn to the proposal for improving the Court of Directors. Their number was to be reduced to 18, and one-third of them was to be nominated by the Crown. He had no objection to Government reserving to themselves the power of nominating five or six well qualified men to aid in the government of India. But talk as they pleased about 24 men having the management of India, and of the expense of the Indian Government, what had those people to do ? Compare their duties with those of the Government of this country, and they would find them to be at least equal in magnitude and importance. Looking at the Indian government as a whole, it was a subject of admiration and surprise to everybody. They were told that it was a double Government. Why, England was a triple Government. A representative Government consisted of checks. He could not con clude without noticing the extraordinary position the 30 directors would be placed in by being called upon to select 15 of their number to remain in the direction. (Hear, hear.) But that was not his objection to the plan. The Minister of India would be dmprived of the counsel which he ought to have. On these and other grounds he considered they were not prepared to legis late upon the subject but that the inquiry ought to go on ; and that it would be more consistent with former practice, and with the dignity of the Court, that the discussion of this great question should be deferred. (Cries of " Move.") They might have a continuing act for one year, and in the meanwhile the whole subject might be fairly discussed. (Cheers.) He, therefor% begged to move that the correspondence which had been read be printed and distributed among the proprietors, and that the debate thereon be adjourned to this day fortnight. Sir P. LAURIE seconded the motion. Mr. LEWIN said, he agreed very much in all that had been said by the hon, member for Montrose (Mr. Hume). Not knowing what motion that hon. gentleman was about to make, he had intended to move that the Government measure be taken into consideration that day 12 months, and that in the interval, a sufficient in quiry take place to enable the Government to legislate with their eyes open, instead of, as they now proposed to do, in darkness. One reason for delay was, that Sir C. Wood's views were of the most outrageous description, he having denounced 150,000,000 of the people of India as perjurors, and unfit to hold any high office in the State ; but the whole speech, in fact, of the right hon. gentleman evinced the most supreme ignorance of the subject on which he was treating. The hon. proprietor was proceeding to argue the question, when Mr. HUME rose, and suggested that the only question before the Court was the production of the correspond ence and the appointment of a day on which the debate might be fully entered upon. A very long conversation ensued, in which many hon. proprietors took part, all of them in a greater or less degree expressing their disapproval of the Government plan, and their opinion of the necessity of the Court of Proprietors taking the subject into their immediate con sideration. The question on Mr. Hume's motion was then put, and agreed to by a large majority. The debate was then adjourned to Monday, the 20th inst. THE CANTERBURY ASSOCIATION AND THE NEW ZEA LAND COMPANY.—An arrangement has at length been made between the directors of the New Zealand Com pany and the late Canterbury Association, in reference to the disputed claims of the former, by which all further litigation between the two has been terminated. Mr. Selfe, on the part of the association, and Mr. Buckle, on the part of the company, have entered into a convention, which stipulates that 2,0801. 19s. Bd., the sum necessary to complete the payment in respect of the first 100,0001. of land proceeds, shall be payable within a specified time, and that the proceedings at law and Chancery shall be severally discontinued, each party in the former paying their own costs, and the association only paying the costs in the latter. The acc oun t s b etween the tw o bodies were to be made out by an accountant, as an act of grace, to remit its claim to any portion of the fund for miscellaneous expenses accrued from land proceeds, in addition to the first item of 100,600/. In accordance with this agreement, th e sum of 2,0801 . 19s. Bd. has been paid by the association, and the guarantee given by four members of th a t body gi ve n up to th em. The amount remitted by th e companyis 1,2891.85. 9d. ; and, after giving credit for these tw made out and ad m itt e d , exhibi t n BUMS, owing to the the accounts, as a bal ance o f pr i nc i pa l company of 21,828/, Os. 2d. on the 20th of January last. The Comus, 14, Commander W. A. FeHowes, is fully completed in her rigging, and is now all ataunt. She is completing her armament and stores, and will shortly be ready for sea. Her armament is all of what are termed like long-shore guns, of 8-inch calibre, for 32-pounder shot or shell. She has oa board as smart a crew of blue jackets as we have seen for some time past. The new Admiralty regulations for pay, &c., to the seamen have been read on board of her for the information of the crew, by which volunteers for the navy may, if they choose, obtain increase of pay by volunteering for ten years, or if, having former services in other ships to complete that time, it will be taken to make up the ten years, provided the seaman shall be over 18 years of age ; no previous service will count, that being the period at which the ten years' servitude shall commence. After ten years' servitude, if they think proper to leave the navy, each seaman will be entitled to 6d. per day pension for his lifetime, and for 15 years 9d. per day. All petty officers who are entitled to wear good-service badges, or stripes on their arm, will receive additional day-pay for every badge or stripe obtained. This is another strong inducement held out by the new regulations to efficient seamen, who are thoroughly acquainted with their entire duties from stem to stern and from keel to truck on board a man-of-war. The Horatio, 24, screw steam-guardship.----The orders for this ship to proceed to Devonport, as reported, have been countermanded, and she proceeded no further than below the Nore. She there brought up and remained 48 hours. During her stay there the crew were exer cised in shifting sails, topgallantmasts, jibboom, and at gun exercise, &c., when she returned into harbour, and has taken in her moorings. The Tribune, 30 guns; new screw-steam-frigate, and the Miranda, 14 guns, screw steam-sloop, are ordered to be fitted with Grant's patent cooking and distilling apparatus, for which purpose it will be necessary for both ships to be placed in dry docks to pass the feed pipes through their sides under water. The Ocean, new coal depot, will be ready to leave the basin for her station in Saltpan Reach in a few days. New moorings of very large dimensions are being prepared for her ; they will be of sufficient strength to admit of two first-rates to lash alonaide the Ocean ride together by them. The moorings are being made by Messrs. Brown and Lennox at their London factory. The Myrtle steam-vessel has been taken into the dis charging basin to make good defects. The Afeican steam-tug has made good her defects, and is engaged assisting and attending on riggers, who are overhauling the heavy mooring in our harbour, and also for the purpose of being ready in case of accident to any of the men employed in this dangerous work, with heavy moorings, to convey them immediately on shore for medical treatment. The keel of a new screw steam-sloop of war has been laid down on No. 1 building-slip here, and several of her midship body-frames have been raised. She is to t• built with all possible expedition. ROYAL DOCKYARD BATTALION. The captain-superintendent, Charles Hope, has issued his instructions for the guidance of such of the artificers and labourers who belong to the brigade, stating that they are only to be allowed one hour to dinner on Fri days and Saturdays, instead of one hour and a-half as usual before the drill commenced. They are, on el, or, Saturday afternoon, to leave the yard at 5 p.m., and return ready for drill at 6 p.m., when they will be chilled until 8 p.m. This order gives entire satisfaction to all the battalion. The drill commenced this evening ; one division of the boat brigade were put through their various evolutions through the harbour, under the com mand of a lieutenant of the brigade. The other division were exercised at the ship gun battery in the yard. The artillery brigade were exercised at the garrison battery guns, and field-piece exercise took place on the dockyard parade-ground. The — infantry brigade were also exercised on the parade-ground, being put through their various evolu tions under the directions of Lieutenant-Colonel Read, who expressed himself highly satisfied with the efficiency of the men on their return for the first time this season to their drill. Major Charles Pope commanded the boat brigade, also the ship gun battery brigade, all of whom were quite at home at their work. _ _ Messrs. Stevenson, master-sailmaker, and Saunders, foreman of shipwrights, have received their commissions as lieutenants in the Royal Dockyard Battalion, and attended their duty to-day for the first time here. Mr. Betts, inspector of shipwrights, lately doing duty in the mast-house, is superannuated on 561. per annum. Mr. John Cheesman, inspector of mast-makers, has had 251. per annum added to his salary, vice Betts, super annuated. Mr. Cheesman has always been employed on the new work. Merit alone has done this, by the re commendation of the Captain-Superintendent, upon the report of the professional officers. Captain Charles Hope expressed to the officers his great pleasure hi being able to inform them ths.t their Lordships at the Admiralty have been pleased to approve of the recom mendation of the promotion of Mr. John Cheesmai. This goes very far to satisfy the artificers here that merit at this yard is to supersede the undue influence o interest from any quarter. It is a theme of general satisfaction with all classes in this yard. JUNE 5. The Monarch, 84, guard-ship of ordinary here, Captain Charles Hope, is ordered to be taken into dry dock to morrow (Monday) for being overhauled, her copper cleaned, &c., and to be prepared for immediate sea ser vice—similarly to the Boscawen at Chatham. The crew of the Monarch will commence at daylight to-morrow morning shifting over to the Minatour hulk. The African steam-tug will be in attendance to facilitate the shifting over. JUNE 6.
