THE BAST INDIA COMPANY.

Yesterday a quarterly general court of the pro-
prietors in this company was held at their house in
Leadeshalletres,t Mr. ELLIOT MACIUGHTSN, chairman
of the Board of Memnon, presiding.
The enemies said be had to acquaint the court that ,
several papers ordered by perhament last session had been
laid upon the table. The titles of the papers alluded to
were mad.
TM Cncinnest said he had neat to acquaint the court
that the wasnate for the last dividends would be delivered
to the proprietors on the 6th of July.
A report front the Committee on Bye-laws was laid Defers
the court, sac the names of several proprietors were pro-
posed and accepted as members of the committee.
This was all the badness en the agenda paper.
Mr. M. LBW= rose to propose the following resolution:—
I" lhat the directors do take the earliest opportunity of
remedying the breach of faith committed by the Madras
gemesmsst towards the Bepoys of the 6th Light Cavalry,
and that they do roped to this court the mesas they may
have sissOld ter that purpose." When he last brought the
matter balms die surt, • gentleman stated that the occur-
nem tat plass a leas time ago. Bo it did, but that was au
roues why es Wadies should not be inquired into. lithe
gentlemen alluded to had any pecuniary claim upon the
geeeswisast, he would, so far from allowing it to drop off in
sessequeses of lapse of time, come down and demand pay-
ment with interest. It was impossible to view the proceed-
ings of which he complained in any other light than that of
murder.
Mr. Joni' said he would second the motion, for the
purpose of hearing what the directors had to say upon the
matter, although he admitted that he had not inquired into
the meriss of the question. There was another reason why
he wanted laformatits. The last chairman of the company
(Major ()Upbeat) had systematically treated the proprietors
with the utmost I.:dignity. When a question was brought
forward is reference to one of the judges, the proprietors
were to.d that they had nothing to do with it. When a
weenies was asked by him (Yr. Jones) about salaries, be
wee told he had nothing to do with it. If the chairman
treated the peoprie•ors is that way, it was no wonder that
the compasy itself should be occasionally snubbed by the
President of the Board of Coatrol.
The Cs•ramart said he did not mean any disrespect to
the hoe. proprietors who bad brought forward this moat's,
whoa he said he should not go into the question. The
whole matter was referred to the late Doke of Wellington,
who had said that everything that had been done was per-
fectly regular.
Mr. LsWin repeated that it was a scandalous ease of in
justice, and that the directors duet not produce the papers
is edemas to it.
The motion was then put and negatived.
Mr. Jonas called attention to the rates demanded is
India on goods taken from England, namely, 16 per cent.
Great annoyance was inflicted by the agents who received
these duties on English tradesmen. Iftbe Paths of Egypt
meld skeet his dative in this country, he did not see .by
the Mit India Company could not do the same. As Halley-
=Pas chest to be abolished, he thought that the mosey
wank. some to the company in itonmquence should
be detested to the foundation of scholarships in India, so
that the young men who obtained them might come to this
essatry, to peas through the ordinary forms of instruction
and szentinatirs here.
Atter some remarks from Mr. Lewin, on the subject of
the prescribed examinations, particularly in reference to a
petition be had received frets India for presentation to the
House of Commons, the meeting was adjourned.
