EAST INDIA HOUSE.

Yesterday the quarterly court of proprietors was
held at the Fast India House; Mr. Rise Mangles. M.l'.,in
the chair. A motion was made by Mr. Jones, declaring that
the six clerk' at the Board of Control, with their eubordinate I
alters, appointed to examine the Indian desestebee, were I
unnecitenary under the new law, which allowed the Board of
Control to appoint six member* of the board of direction, by
whom that duty might be done. and that each an
nowt would Sleet a swing of 20,000 i. per annum, and
tate the &impeach of public busbies without diminishing the
power of the Board of Control. Mr. Jones contended that
the power assumed to be exercised by the Board of Control
was in reality in the hands of the six Merles who were un-
acquainted with the country and its requirements, and who
were neverthelam the pinions to supply tho president of
the Board of Control with his feet% but who did so in so
slovenly a manner that neither on questions of account nor
on questions of polities were that right hon. gentleman'.
statements to be relied on. Mr. Jones alleged that they were
actually ea impediment to public Waimea. The resolution was
wended by Mr.Liwria. In reply, the chairman oleerved that
it would involve the destruction of the Board of Control itself.
It was unjust to assume that the directors appointed by that
board were not as independent of it as were the directors
elected by the preprints% and it would be &niptery to
them to ask dime to be the clerks of the body whieh ap-
pointed them. It ems also unjust to mistime that the Free'.
dent of the Board of Control war the poppet of the six ckwks ;
and as regarded the expense of the board, it war regulated
by set of parliament. Mr. Twining mil other preprietors
having borne Setimony to the seal and ability of the
clerks, the resolution of Mr. June. was negativist,
only one hand being held up in favour of it.—Mr.
M'Kencie called attention to the frequent and vio-
lent varieties. in the rate of exchange on India, so
far as concerned the monstary traniactiom of the company.
No motion, however, was season the side}ect.—Mr. Fleming
complained that In the recent appointment to the office of
Advocate-Cieseral at Bombay, the limiter had been entirely
overlooked. A return of the asses of the applicants for the
Aka was agreed to. There was no other business of im-
portance.
