EAST INT)T.S. HOUSE,

ThE RAJAH OP SATTARA AND THE BOARD OP CON- I
moi..—A special general court of the East India Company I
was held in Leadenhallotreat yesterday, on the requisition
of nine proprietors, for the purpose of " taking into considera•
tion the acknowledgment returned by the board of commis-
'loner, Mr the affairs of India to the resolution passed by the
general court of proprietors, held on the 25th of March last,
in order that the court of proprietors, having due regard to
the responsible trust vested in them by law, may determine
upon the course which it becomes them to adopt on this ex-
traordinary occasion." The chair was taken at twelve o'clock
by Sir H. St. George Tucker, the chairman of the company.
The minutes of the last meeting having been read,
Mr. Lewis rose to introduce the subject to which the re-
-1 quisition referred. After reminding the meeting of what
had occurred at the meeting of the 25th of March last, when
he moved for the production of certain papers relating
to an offer alleged to have been made to the Rajah of Sat-
ter", ke stated that in reply to a letter written by him to the
court of directors on the 18th of May, he had received a
communication on the presious day, to the effect that no
further answer had been obtained from the board of control.
He submitted to the proprietors whether it might not fairly
he inferred, from the whole correspondence oa the subject,
that the board of control did not intend to produce the
papers? (Hear, hear.) The resolution proposed on the 25th
of March was supported by the hon. chairman, sad by many
other distinguished individuals in the direction. (Hear,
hear.) Were he to inveigh against this mode of treatment,
he would have the sympathy of most of those who heard
him • but he preferred leaving the president of the
board of control to his own reflection'. Whatever
indignation be might feel was absorbed in a feel-
ing of regret and sorrow, that a person filling
such a high office, should, in gratifying an angry and sple-
netic temper, have forgotten that courtesy and respect which
were due to the court of proprietors. He trusted that reso-
lutions would be adopted marking the court's sense of the
impropriety, the impohcy, and the injustice involved in the
suppmeaion of those documents. As regarded the question
of impropriety, he thought every proprietor would admit
that the papers ought never to have been introduced into the
secret committee. The statement having been made that
certain terms had been offered to the Rajah of Satter" by the
British agent at Senores, it was desired to ascertain what
those terms were; and after the resolution adopted by the
proprietors, he doubted the legality of resorting to the secret
committee. The 3rd and 4th Wm. 4 defined the cases in
which the president of the Board of Control might send do-
vetches or orders from India through the secret committee.
One of those cases was that of negotiations with native
princes. It could not be contended, that the rajah
was treated with as a native prince after he had
been reduced to • private station. (Hear, hear.)
I The Board of Control was only • controlling and superin-
tending power; the actual governing power was the court of
directors ; and if such a course as this were allowed, the
secret committee might be turned into an engine to deprive
the East India Company of the least share of authority. The
retention of these papers M the secret committee was impo-
litic, uneonstitutional, and an abuse of the functions of the
secret committee. He could not but recall the simple and
emphatic language In which the present chairman had de-
nounced the proceedings of which he complained. "My
belief," he said, ' that in this case • great wrong has
been done, and that that wrong ought to by redressed with-
out delay." (Hear, hear.) He thought he saw some happy
omens that they were approaching • better state of things ;
he found such omens in the subdued tone of the directors on
this subject, many of whom declared that they were only
anxious for juatice, and in the verb proceedings with
regard to the secret committee. Jim, hear.) He
had no wish to re-open the question of the rajah's conduct ;
but he could not refrain from quoting an extract from •
letter of Col. Bagnell, a gentleman in the Indian service,
who had had ample opportunity of fornthiF a correct opinion.
Ile said, " It was not only • current opinion in the 23rd
Regiment, bat among all the intelligent natives on our side
of India, that the whole was • conspiracy in which the two
native officers were made tools of ; that they had never seen
the Rajah or any respectable man about his court on the
subject ; in short, the whole story of disaffection to us was a
lie from beglaning to end, but extremely well got up." The
hon. rep. concluded by moving the following reso-
lutions:

three reasons—u • source of information, en grounds of
principle, and as a means of giving that unfortunate man,
the Rajah of Sitters, a hearing. (Hear.) He had been
solemnly promised a copy of the charges and evidence in his
own language, and the means of refutation ; but this pro-
mise had been completely broken. His case showed the
effects of " secret departments," and ought to render the
court suspicious of deferring to them. In his case there had
been trial, conviction, and punishment ; but there had been
no defence. (Hear.) Let not the proprietor' suppose that
this question would ever be set at rest until these papers
were produced ; it would be a perpetual source of agitation,
and the continued refusal would operate to weaken the
power of the court. The people of India expected justice
from this court ; end there was only one thing worse than
doing wrong—to persist in wrong. (Hear.) If the Board
of Control persisted in this encroachment, the company was
bound to go to parliament, the only proper tribunal to which

not only the whole administration of India, but the whole
of the revenues. What was to prevent them from placing
in the secret department to-merrow an order for
50,0001. for the construction of a certain railway in
India? The Board of Control, originally constituted as a
check on this company, had now obtained the chief power,
while the office of this company had become to act as an in-
dependent body in checking the proceedings of that board.
While supporting the resolutions, he regretted that they did
not go farther, and authorise a petition to parliament.
Mr. WEEDING said there was no reason to dread any in-
vasion of the privileges of the court. The roltemitionists
had magnified a very small matter into a cause for
assembling this court; it was nothing more than •
mountain in labour. He contended that the acknow-
ledgment received from the Board of Control was
the most courteous answer that could have been re-
turned, and the only answer this court could expect. The
conduct of the President of the Board of Control required no
defence; he had adopted the only course that was open to
him. In March last, in the House of Commons, Sir J. C.
Hobhouse bad declared, in answer to a motion for the pro-
duction of those paipers, that the originals had been 'Wien,
and that therefore he would not consent to the production of
the copies, which, if produced, would not exculpate the ex-
rajah. If such a course was sanctioned, the government of
India would be impossible. Sr R. Peel had concurred in
the view taken by the President of the Board of
Control, and Mr. Hume had withdrawn his mo-
tion. After this declaration of Sir J. C. Hobhouse,
in parliament, could any member of this court have supposed
that he could possibly grant the paper", in compliance with
the vote of this court ? He deprecated the renewal of this
(Secession; and said that if these courses were persisted in,
the statesmen of 1864 might think it necessary to impose
further restrictions on the charter of this company. la order

A director challenged the bon. proprietor to do so, and
said no one was afraid of their publication.
Mr. WIORAM called attention to a part of the oath of the
secret committee, which the honourable proprietor had not
alluded to.
Mr. O. Taorraon said that the papers did not relate to
any matter which the Board of Control had a right to refer
to the secret committee. Whenever these papers saw the
light there would be an end of the rajah's case. It had been
distinctly noted to the reylah that if he would give up the
agitation in England, certain terms of compromise would be
agreed to. As a question of justice, then, it was imposeible
to consider the matter calmly and fairly without the strong.
est feelings of indignation. The rajah had been accused of
imbecility ; but surely proof of that allegation was no res.
eon for persevering in an unjust course towards him. Be
' hoped that after MI the honesty and zeal which had been en_
hibited on both sides of the bar, the coon
until the papers 'Dad been and full justioe had
been done to the deposed rajah. The papers were refused in
the House of Commons on this ground, that they had been
obtained surreptitiously; whereas, in point of fact, the
President of the Board of Control had determined, seven
months before, that they should be withheld. (Hear, hear)
The rajah, the court of directors, and the court of pre.
prietors, had now a right to the production of these paper,,
The hon. proprietor concluded by reading the following
resolution, which he said he had prepared as an addition to
the resolutions of Mr. Lewis

Whereas, by the act of 3 and 4 William IV., cop. 63, who. 35, it is
enacted, that the court of directors Mall, from time to time, amnia
a secret committee of three directors% for the meth:War purposes ie
this act epecitied; and that the mid Keret committee shall take ea
oath, of which the foliowiag words form part, air.: " I will not die-
time or make known any of theseeret orders, indruelons, dispatthe,
adisial letters, or enomunieadoma. which shall he Rent or given to ow
by the ennimilwieners for the attire-of India, ankle I shill be
authorised by the mid commimioners to disclaim and make known the
same." And, where... the " Particular Purpcses. above mentioned
are specifically declared in the 36th section of the same net, in the
following armee, sia. " l'rovided aloe, and be It enacted, that if the

onsiturmicatione, to the secret committee of the said court of diem.

that the papers relating to the case of the Month of genera the cora.
• munication of which has been refused by the board of commissioners,
to a resolution passed by the court of proprietors on the 11th Much,
did not form the subject matter of any of the deliberations of that
board, and were Rot sent or given by the board to the secret commit.
tee of the court of directors, but arose out of a letter, dated the 24th
Much, HA which was written by the weret committee, for the per.
pose declared in it, of obtaining information for the rout of Mot-
toes, touching a matter which had been the subject of public debate
at the India House. That the originating of such a letter by the
secret committee, irrespective of the board of control. and the with.
holding of the reply, when received, from the knowledge o!' the mutt
of directors, on the ground that the board of commissior.ers refereed
to communicate the MM. win WILDS% law mini:piton by the
mutt committee of the prover and peculiar functions of the court of
dirfetors : a concealment of pepero to which the court of propristers
had en undoubted right; and a denial of justice to the dep..' Raja
of gattara.

The &IA 1101 Ax said the object of the first resolution was
to declare that the papers ought not to have been sent
through the secret committee. Who wee to determine that
question when, in point of fact, the responsibility rested
with the president of the board? (Hear, hear.) The
second resolution expressed disapproval of the delay in ap-
plying for the papers. Applieation had in tr .th been made
for the papers, both in parliament and on the part of the
directors, and in both cases there was a refusal to produce
them. As regarded the point for what cases the RC.ret com-
mittee was intended, he maintained that it was impossible
to deny that the question at issue was of apolitical chamfer.
(Hear, hear.) He (the chairman) had not altered his
opinion on the ease of the rajah from first to last. Bat it
was a closed question. (Hear, hear.) He held in his hand
a legal declaration that after the decision which had been
adopted on many previous occasions the question could not
be reconsidered. The court was now precluded from enter-
ing into the question. Everything had been done short
of the restitution of sovereignty, to alleviate the condition of
the rajah. He could not forget that, while seeking justice
for one person, they might be doing injusin to another ; and
the apparent uncertainty of the present rajah's position
might have the effect of doing him great injury. He wee
sorry to have heard the words " angry " and " splenetic "
applied to Sir John Hobbouse. In hia own intercourse with
that gentleman, he had never met with anything which at
all warranted the use of such language. It had been argued
that the exigency which had formed a ground for with-
holding the papers was at an end. Who was to judge on
that point ? To him it appeared that an inference in the
contrary direction might naturally be drawn. He also de-
precated the use of acrimonious language in reference to the
directors, who had not done anything in the course of the
proceedings but what was consistent with the supposition
that they were actuated by just and' proper motives. He
hoped he had said enough to show that it was impossible that
he could concur in the reeolutionr, the adoption of which
would, he believed, Bunten no useful end.
Sr J. W. Iloou, in reference to a case that had been
quoted of the production of papers, said that this was an en-
tirely different case. With the President of the Board of
Control alone rated the power to permit the production of
any document from the secret committee. ( Hear.) While
the directors were fully able and willing to maintain their
rights and privileges, they must not make a stir before they
were invaded, but wait till public opinion went with
them. It was net by discussing abstract propositions, and
maintaining their rights to be equal to those of parliament,
that their rights would be maintained. (Heir.) When
their charter came to be renewed, thoeearrogantassumptions
would be brought forward against them. As the court was
ignorant of the contents of the documents how could they
judge of the propriety of their beingintrodueed ? He would
repeat, it rested only with the President of the Board
of Control to do this. He had had the honour
of filling the chair of this company under two
governments, and by neither had he observed the slightest
disposition to exceed their powers, or to invade those of the
court of directors. (Hear, hear.) He denied that that
court, as a court of directors, had ever sent any despatch to
India respecting this matter; if sent from the court, it must
have been signed by 13 directors. If sent by the secret com-
mittee, it must have emanated from the board of control.
In case of any differences between this court and the board
I of control, there was no necessity for any appeal to paella-
, meat; the law already pointed out the course to be pursued,
to bring the matter before three of the judges of the Queen's
Bench. (Hear.) He thought the motion for adjournment
the best, and should therefore support it.
Sir J. L. LUSHINOTON, the deputy-chairman, expressed
a hope that Mr. Thompson would publish the documents is
his possession. Should parliament, the proper tribunal, de-
termine that the Rajah of Hatton was a wronged men, he
should be ready to submit to the decision. (Hear, hear.)
Me. Bsysox declared his conviction that the ex-Rajah bad
been needed with horrible iejustioe.
Mr. H. MACK ENZIE said the president of the board of
control had never alleged that any public injury would re-
sult from the publication of these papers.
Rueoci BApooax, vakeel of the rajah of Setters in this
country, then handed to the directors a speech, in English,
on behalf of the rajah, which was read to the court by the
clerk.

Mr. TWINING had hoped, from the tone of the chairman's
speech, that the court might have avoided coming to a die-
Mon. It should not be imagined that those who were
opposed to the re-opening of the rajah's case were actuated
by hostile feelings towards him ; the sole ground of their
opposition was that the question had been disposed of son
previous occasions. He deprecated the court entering ups
:n= ea difficult and delicate as a struggle with the Fre-
i ths Board of Control.
111 r. lerjeent G ASELEE said he had come to the court to
the peers, of assisting the rajah so far as it might be in his
power te do so, but what he had heard from the chairman,
conyinesi bins that it would not be well to enter into a col-
lision viik Sir John Hobhouse. They were bound to give
thepreaktent credit for being actuated by proper feelings
the come which he had pursued; it was he alone who could

on behalf of the crown was one which ho had never !Meg

England ever required such prooeediegs as had been adopted
in reference to the rajah of attars.
Yr. Lewis, in replying, insisted emphatically on the im-
portance of the fact that on no occasion had the president of
the Board of Control declared in the limas of Commons that
it won eseential to the public service that the papers should
be kept secret.
The court then divided on the question of adjournment

NATIONAL BANK OF IRELAND.
Ma. O'CONNELL.—Yesterday, the twelfth annual
general meeting of the proprietors was held at the
office', 13, Old Bread-street—Mr. Ruding in the chair.
The secretary read the report, which stated, that during the
U ying circumstances of the peat year, the directors had ob-
served one uniform course, discouraging, as much so was is
their power, all speculative operations m Ireland, but affording
facilities for the import of provisions intended to supply the
growing wants of the country; that, notwithstanding, the
past year has been one of prosperity to the bank, as, in addi-
tion to the two half-yearly dindende which had been: PIA
amounting to 22,6001., the directors had remaining a euridal
of 10,6121. 10s. 2d., which had been carried to the credit of
the reserve fund, whereby It was increased C 060,1081.154.34.
Mr. Josue wished to know, before the report was put, how
the cements of the late governor (Mr. O'Connell) stood with
the book; although from the character of the illustrious
doseamal, ea well as of the directors, he anticipated a different
ski mmat In what had been put forth by those who were sot
aartaleild with the affairs of the bank, respecting his
asesamla with it.
The MAILMAN said that the balance due from the late
=_ Mr. O'Ommell, was only 4,0001., against which

ewe sad beeoeung manner in which be conducted the duties
, endeared him not only to the directors, hut en-
oa to the praise, good wishes, and thanks of all who
ore interested in the welfare of the society. Raving paid
this deserved tribute to their late governor, the chairman
o,erted to the state of the bank, and he was happy to say
pet the reserve rand being increased upwards of 50,0001.,
&mom were of opinion that this was sufficient to enable
them to inertias the dividend. The utmost vigilance was,
aed would continue to be, exercised by the claret-tors, and
was some unforeseen circumstance occurred, they had •
oddest hope that, before they met again, they would be
skit to iltvgase the dividend. Re would now move the
attention of the report.
Starrett wished to know whether the debts

sidated aswas intended.—The chairman said that
the defy kid been worked off, as far as they could ascertain
their went, and provision had been made for debts of a
deabdid character. —NIT. Showell said he liked an increase of
dividend, but he hoped the directors would exercise caution
kb. they did so, as a large reserve fund would secure M-
owed confidence in the concern.—A proprietor said that the
obiotilhauld be left in the hands of the directors.—The re-
was then unanimously adopted. N. Maher, Esq., M.P.,
Maurice O'Connell, Esq., M.P., and It. Sutton, Jun., Esq.,
were re-elected directors ; and a vote of thanks having been
paced to the chairman and directors, for the satisfactory state
of the tank, the meeting separated.

The asport was agreed to as far as related to the general
hesieroset the society ; but with regard to the new propo-
MMus of the committee, Lieut. Gardiner proposed an amend-
=4„aisairibg
Whisk, atter having been altered several times in con-
ed* the wishes of different gentlemen, took at last
Se int :

Use. Gardiner thought that the proposal which he matte
Iliad enable the society fully to carry out its objects with-
al laterfering with the foundation of the school, and would
ty be attended with very beneficial results—Sir
o Pell seconded the amendment.—After some discla-
im, Captain Dickson proposed a contrary amendment,
WE. however, fell to the ground. Lieut. Gardiner's pro-
pulsion Wag carried by a considerable majority, the entire
wpm lookg then adopted.—On the motion of the Hon.
A. a. AL Mau, seconded by Sir E. Codrington,
the viaspemidents and directors were re-elected, and
&r George Cockburn was elected president until
Admiral Bowles should become qualified for that office.
Ikea/ complimentary votes followed, which concluded the
poeudings.
The annual festival of the society wu held in the even.
dug at the London Tavern, when there were about
150 gentlemen present, the Earl of Auckland presiding.
The toasts were of the usual character, " Prosperity to the
Nanl School," the principal one of the evening, being re-
ceived with the utmost enthusiasm. The vocal arrange-
ments were more successful than usual. The singers were
Kiss Dolby, Mr. Hill, Mr. Hatton, Mr. Howe, and M.
Leek all of whom well merited the applause bestowed upon
them. The subscriptions announced during the scene mg
amounted to nearly 16001., which of course included the
donation of Lord 'Yarborough.
