on sundry matters.
The COURT resembled at twelve o'clock, and
after reading the minutes of the last Court, the
alteration of the By-Laws, us agreed to the last
General Court, was approved of by the pre•ent
Court.
The CHAIRMAN then moved that Sir James
Home, Bart. late of the Madras Civil Establish-
ment. be permitted to return to the service under
the provisions of the Act of 33 George 111. cap.
62, sec. 70, with the rank which he held when he
quit ed Madras, agreeably to at the Act of a
George 111. cap. 155, sec. 85, which, after a few
observations from Mr. Chalmers, Mr. R. Jackson,
Mr. Rigby, and Mr. Lownder, and after reading
the letter of Sir J. Horne, Bart. to the Committee
of Correspondence, it was agreed to, mid 'Tuesday
se'imight unwed as the day fur confirming the same.
Mr. R. JACKSON made sonic observations on the
Act of Perhainent lately passed for regulating the
Company's trade, and wished to know whether he
understood that clause rightly which seemed to
allow to every ►ubject of this country the privilege
of trading from the East Indies to ports of the
continent without touching at the parent state
at all ?
The CHAIRMAN said, that when the Charter Act
was passed, several mutters were reserved by the
Legislature with respect to the trade to modify if
the Parliament thought fit. He believed that an-
terior to this Act, ships might go from port to port
iu
Mr. R. JACKSON said, his question applied to
the trade between India and the continent of Eu-
rope carried on by British subjects.
A Director stated. that ships might load from
any port in Europe and carry their cargoes to
India, which was a stronger case than the Hon.
Proprietor had pot.
Mr. R. JACKSON said, that it struck him, speak-
ing as an Eogl•ehman, that it was as dangerous a
proposition a. ever was broached by enthusiasm,
• that ships could be allowed freight with the shewy
fabrics of France, or the stronger manufactures of
Germany. which paying less taxes by 75 per cent.
than ours, must be fatal not only to London, as the
emporium of the commerce of the East, but also
work the greatest injury to the whole commerce of
the country.
The CHAtRMAi said the Directors had intimated
objections whilst the measure was passing ; but his
Majesty's Ministers being pressed by the shipping
and mercantile interest generally, to be allowed to
do that which was allowed to the trade of
foreigners, the representations which they had
made were of no avail.
Mr. GAHACIAN thought the Directors should
have communicated with, the Proprietors when so
important a measure was passing.
The CHAIRMAN read the minutes of a former
Court. to shew that the subject was brought before
the Proprietors; but observed that, according to
the reservations made when the Charter Act passed.
the Government could have made the alterations
whether the Company were willing or unwilling.
The Hoe. D. KINNAIRD objected to the discus_-
am of topics of political economy introduced in
the incidental manner they were on this occasion.
itherwise he was so opposed to the principles pro-
pounded by the Hon. Proprietor (11r. R. Jackson),
that he should have gone into it with alacrity; but
be professed himself utterly at a loss to see how the
Bill affected them, us ludian Proprietors. in auy
way except beneficially, though as an Englishman
be could not but feel glad that the absurd restric-
tions which had encumbered the commerce of India
were by the good sense of Parliament abolished, he
hoped, for ever.
Mr. LovreDes thought the Bill was one of the
•tmost unpoutance, and the time of the Court was
well occupied in looking at it a little closely. The
Hon. Proprietor was proceeding with his observa-
tions when
The CHAIRMAN rose and said. that information
of the greatest importance to the Proprietors and
the country had been received that morning. In-
telligence had been received that Bonaparte was
dead. The Chairman shortly after read the dis-
patch of S:r Hudson Lowe, which stated that the
event took place on the sth May last, in consequence
of a disorder with which Bonaparte had been
afflicted siuch March last.
Mr. LOWNDES resumed, and said, that by this
event he hoped he might congratulate them on the
probability that the expenses at the island of St.
Helena would now be diminished.
THE INDIAN PRESS.
The Hon. Colonel STAN Hopi rose to make his
promised motion on the subject of the press in In-
dia. He entered into the history of the press in
India, and contended that the art of printing was
known in that country more than 4,000 years ago,
and that it had only been revived by ourselves there
at a recent period. He stated, a censorship on the
press had been established there during the time
that the Marquis Wellesley was Governor General,
bat that had been subsequently removed by the
Marquis of Hastings. The lion. Proprietor here
read extracts from the Marquis of Hastings' answer

The Hon. DOUGLAS KINNAIRD seconded the
motion, without meaning to pledge himself to any
thing bat agreeing with the sentiments which had
bren expressed of the conduct of the Marquis of
Hastings. He was desirous that the Court of Pro-
prietors should pledge itself to the support- of that
system which, in his opinion, did the Marquis- of
Hastings more honour than any other of his mill-
tory transactions, and he hoped soon to have to sup-
port a motion of thanks from the ,Chair for his
civil conduct.
Mr. Cnausess contended, that, from what had
recently passed in the Courts of Law in India, it
was uncertain whether any jurisdiction existed
there to try fo► libels criminally, and the delay.
which might be interposed in civil actions rendered
that remedy nearly nugatory. Under these cit.-
cumstinces, sod not seeing the necessity for the
motion, he begged leave to move the previous
question.
The CHAIRMAN said, that it might save the time
of the Court if he were to declare, that though'it was
obviously out of his power to sit), what future
Boards of Directors might de, yet, as far as he
knew the sentiments of the present Court of Di-
rectors, there was no intention of restoring the cen-
sorship.
The Hon. Colonel STANHOPR said, that, under
that pledge, he had great pleasure in withdrawing
his motion.
Mr. CHALMERS. after some discussion on the
point of order, gave notice that he should, at the
next Quarterly Court, bring under the considera-
tion of the Proprietors a certain hardship sustained
by the Captains of Indiasten by the operation of

,r

be law in cases whe►e they were sued for acts at•
sessary Inc the discipline of their ships.
Mr. LOWNDU hoped he might now he permitted
• to say a few words against it going forth to the
world that the Marquis Wellesley had adopted a
sYwrot of rigour with respect to the press in India
which the Marquis of Hastings had abolished,
withont its being ofirseryed at the same time that
th. situation of affairs in India MRS very different
during the two odmini•trations. When the Mar-
quhl•Wellesley went there the storm raged ■round
with •sdiminished violence, bat at the lime the


Marquis of Hastings arrived peace was restored.
Mr. C. GRANT was extremely anxious that in
the notices which would be given in the public
journals of their proceedings, it should not go forth
to the world that the statements of the Honourable I
Proprietor were acquiesced in by the Count. To
that he, for one. protested. He believed the Hon.
Proprietor wt' completely mistaken in his histo-
r cal statement of the rise and progress of the
ficeiloan of the press in India. Lord l'rignmostli,
,•r •.far from having favoured it, sent home the
Editor of the Calcrita Journal as a prisoner, and
lined Cornwallis had also done a similar thing; but
the qwestion was, in whist situation were we at
present ? What had the M lulu's of Hastings done ?
1k hart merely withdrawn the personal supervision

b:it cm ll i 11l led to insintsiii the mune rules for the

Government had been accustomed to act under.

rases or erode riiscossiou. He thought that, in the
ptement Mott td the question, it ea* improper to
intmAuce it in a popular natemhly like that. All
that . had- understood the Chairman to have said

honour to prioscre the Thanks of the Hall to the
present Sheuffa, fur the strict iinpartislity and gen-
tlemanly manure which they had evinced during
the election. He took the opportunity of congriitu.
!Jong the Livery on the election of two most re.
cubic Geotlemen, who .would ntairataiii the fair
privileges of the offices, and also welch over those
er•their fellow-citizens in general, and fallow in the
footsteps of their predecessors, one of whom (Mr.
S'neriff Williams) he had the honour to propose.
. The motion was then. put and carried uuani.
mously. and it.. was moved that the Resolution
should be iuserted in the usuul Morning and Even-
ing rapers..
Mr. Sheriff WAITHMAN said, it was most grate-
ful. to. him to meet with the approval of his fellow-
citizens, and especially when he felt convinced,
from conscientious feeling% that such approbation
was not undeservod. But although the exertions
required of. the Sheriffs in this contest had been
so tittle—easy and passive as had been their .duties—
although he had kept the promise which he had
made to his constituents on taking up the office,
to abstain from interfering, in its execution, with
party politics, or leaning to either the one side or
the other—although he had been utterly in the
clerk, from the commencement of the election, as
to the line of conduct that would be adopted ; yet,
day idler day, had he been assaulted in one of the
public newspaper% and charged with being the
promoter of the contest. For the 25 years that he
had been in public life, he abstained from noticing
the attacks that had been made upon him from
that quarter. It was not sufficient, on this occa-
sion, that measures were charged as being his,
but they had revived forgotten attacks which bed
been made out him in the shape of election
*quibs ; but this was not sufficient, for they had
revived atrocious calumnies on his private life
And transactions. A Paper of Thursday had re-
vived a calumny against him. respecting some
transactions iu the Insolvent Debtors Court, in
which he had been engaged some time since.
Now be would airy to the Livery that, if lie
did no other service while he was in the House
of Commons, he had succeeded in exposing that
Court. He had shewa that out of twenty millions
of the money of the citizens which went through
it, tint one penny came out of it in the shape of
dividend. He had himself succeeded in convincing
the Committee of the House of Commons of this,
and had procured a Report (or a vote, we do not
know which), condemning the Court, and had occa-
sioried the dismissal of the Commissioner. Under
these circumstances it was no great wonder that the
calumny found its way into the world, and it was
no yeti wonder that it found its way from those
individuals through the Piper alluded to. if it
wurs!d gratify his calumniators to know that thry
had dune him an essential injury, they 'night have
that saii.faction, for no man who had heat attacked
he lied been could escape private. injury. The
worthy Aldetmsn animadverted on the conduct and

character ofJ. B. Sharpe, the Honorary Seentary of ,
the Constitutiooel Associatioa, wbom.he charged
with being one of his greatest celernniators. Yet
this was the man who watt chosen as one of the
guardiass of public morals ! 'Perhaps it wee en the
principle of the old adage, that " an old smuggler
makes the hest exciseman?' In.eanclnitiett, the
worthy Alderman lured any one to examine into his 1111
character as a tradesmen in their own %Vard of
Cheep, where be had dealt to the amount of mil-
lions, and compare it with that of the Secretary of
the Association, or even with that of the Treasurer.

intention, when he found from the last year's ac-
counts that the City was still greatly in debt, to
have directed the attention of the. Livery: to the
most important of all.subjects•e--their.ipapeocliture.
But as the Hall was but thinly attended, lie should
beg lease to postpone the matter until en opportu-
nity occurred, when there was an attendance ade-
quate to the importance or the aubjects wilco he
would lay before them such a statement as would
astonish them.
Mr. Num came forwasd and•snatle some ob.
serrations 1111 the state of the poll, in the course
of which he said the citizen' would profit greatly
by reading their Charter and, !cords, which would
expose to them many existing abuses that they
were not aware of, and amongst them was the prac-
tice of the Lord Mayor and the Court of Alder-
men nominating persons to serve, the office of
Sheriff for the rake of the fi.ses, and others for the
sake of the joh.—He read to them an account
of the origin of this practice, from hleltnoth's
History of Landon, vlid) he recommenced to
their perusal. The practice otigioated at a carous-
ing poly. in the *ergo of Elizabeth, at which
the Lord Mayor drool( to one 4.1' his brother
Aldermen at the Sheriff Elect, and who. after-
wards served the office. Successive Sherilh con-
tinned to be appointed in this way for a considera-
ble time aftewarda, during which the citizens were
deprived of their franchises, and it was not with-
out great exertirros that the election was restored
to them. Hut still the candidates were nominated
by the Lord Mayor drinking to them at an annual
(limier. This practice he charactesised as an in-
fringement of the privilege of election.

DEATH OF BONAPARTE.

The death of NAPOLEON BONAPAITE is offi-
cially announced. Dispatches communicating this
most important event were received yesterday at the
Admiralty from St. Helena. They were brought
by Captain HENDRY, of the Rosario sloop of war,
accompanied by Captain CoottaT, of the 40th re-
giment, who arrived in town at about half-past
eleven o'clock in the forenoon. The dispatches
being opened at the Admire*, were immediately
transmitted to his MAJESTY, and in a very short
time the important event which they communicated
was known throughout every part of the metro.

ful source of contemplation to observe the calm

sally received. The event which some few years
ago would have agitated the whole expanse of so-
ciety, appeared to excite no feeling of more than
ordinary interest ; it interrupted the subjects of
general conversation for a moment, and then gave

place to the weightier interests with which they
were surrounded; and no other importance was
apparently attached to it than might be estimated
by the amount of money which the breaking up
Of the establishment at St. Helena must necessarily
tare to this country. The history of NAPOLEON
BONAPARTE closed with his surrender to the Bel-
lerophon. ; his influence upon the political aspect
of Europe from that moment utterly ceased,
and although the story of his imprisonment and
raffle will perhaps be sought after by posterity
with as keen an interest as the nairative of his
proudest career of military glory, yet with re-
gard to the present generation his existence has
since his surrender presented nothing to public
view which could distinguish him from those war-
riors who bad already paid the debt of nature.
The acithstif this tatrutitrituary (1111t1 took Owe on
~he sth of May ; it was occasioned by a cancer in

six weeks. The di was oni is it would seen
of hereditary fatality. for the hither of NkroLzotr
died of the same complaint at the early age of 35,
and perhaps it was from being aware of this cir-
cumstance that NAPOLEON, feat an early stage
of the attack, entertained apprehensions that it
would prove fatal to his life. To all except him-
self the ditied4-ncit daring the first four weeks
of his illnees assume • formidable appearance, but
for the last fortnight his physicians and surgeons
entertained no hopes of • favourable termination.
He is said to have retained the perfect enjoyment
of his brows until within about five or six hours of
his decease, and that lie gave directions so long as
his understanding served him ■bout his papers
and talkies. He expressed a desire that his
body should he opened, to ascertain accurately
the cause of his death, and that his son should
be apprised of the result of the examination.
This operation was actually performed by his
own surgeon. His body was visited by the Go-
revisor, the Admiral, and other persons in autho-
rity in Saint Helena, and was then laid in state.
We have not heard, however. whether it was intend-
ed that it should be interred in the island or
brought to Europe. Ile is said to have made a
will, which has been brought to England with the
dispatches. NAPOLLON was, if we recollect
rightly, possessed at the time of his surrender to
Captain MAITLAND of considerable funds, which
were then, as it was at the time understood, dis-
posed of by the British Government fur his occa-
sional use, and the future advantage of his family.
All his family are extremely wealthy.

The character of D'art:menu BONAPARTE. end
the influence which his fame and fortune have so
long exercised upon the political condition of
Europe, or rather, we should say, of the civilised
portion of the globe, hove been too fregisently and
too recently d►scussed, both in writings and con-
versation, to become now suitable topics for further
remarks. The memory of his achievements is still
too fresh not to be associated strongly in the public
mind with au energetic sense either of admiration
or of hatred, and until this personal bias be wholly
obliterated, it will not be possible to sketch his
character with candour and impartiality. But
whatever may be the judgment of posterity respect•
ing the motives and the means that regulated and
marked the exercise of his talent., whether he shall
be considered as the scourge or the benefactor of
any portion of Europe, there can be no second
opinion with regard to the magnificence of his de•
signs and the imposing greatness of his talents
His actions must ever stand as prominent epochs in
the history of mankind, and his name must in times
far distant distinguish the age in which he lived.
The death of BowAPARTIL w►ll he a great saving
in the public expenditure of England. The Saint
Helena establishment has been estimated ut about
.300,000/. a-year, but with incidental and accidental
expenses, it may be perhaps rated as little short of
400,000/. When BONAPARTS escaped from Elba
the French charged England with having let him
loose, thus insinuating that his liberty would pro.
note her interests. In the opinions of the French,
therefore, England has paid two millions of money
in her own wrong on account of Botrararre, and
this immense sum she has paid for the honour of
being the keeper of the prison of her best Mend.

The morning, at tea o'clock. all the Members
of the Privy Council residing in or near London

tendance, severable in the Council Chamber at the
Cock-pit. Whitehall, for the purpose, as it is be-
haved, of hearing the arguments of Counsel in
support of the Quaas'► claim to share the honours
of the Coronation. This proceeding takes place
in pursuance of an order made at the last meeting
of the Privy Council at Whitehall un Tuesday last.

The Prorogstinn of Parliament will take place
on Wednesday next •t farthest : there is a pro-
bability that it may take place on Tuesday.

Paris Papers of Sunday last have arrived. They
contain no news of any interest.

Three Lisbon Mails have arrived, with Papers
from that city to the 17th June. They officially
announce that the return of the King of Pot.
TOGAL from the Brazils is unavoidably delayed for
a short time, in consequence of some embarrassment
in the means of conveyance, and contains a formal
disavowal, so far as respects his MAJRATT, of the
representations made at the Congresses of Troppou
end Lay birch, that the Kings of PORTUGAL,
SPAM and NAPLICS, by no means adhered to the
new Constitutions proclaimed in those countries.

Jamaica Papers to the sth May contain not the
slightest allusion to the rumoured attempt at insur-
rection on the island by some negroes. It may be
concluded, therefore, that the statement (which we
copied from a Greenock Paper) is unfounded; the
private letter containing it was dated the Ysth April,
and these papers are nearly a fortnight later in date.
