not ■akiug too touch when he called for informatiou
relative to them.
Mr. RIOBY said, the question now before them
was merely the point of order, whether the objec-
tion taken by the Hon. Proprietor (Mr. Hume) was
or was not a good one ? The circumstances of the
case were briefly there :—Soso time sioce the
Court voted 1,5001. a year to Si► G. &Arm, ■nd
the Proprietors were this day met to confirm that
Resolution. But, previous to doing so, a decisive
Resolution was agreed to. making it one of the
Company's By-Laws, that, before agreeing to a
grant of money. beyeiod a certain amount, all the
documents relative to.such grant should be sub-
mitted to the Proprietors. The question then was.
aye or no. whether that By-Lew had been complied
with ? to Ins opinion it had not—and, until the
documents were laid before them thry could not
legally proceed.
Mr. GaANT said. he was disposed to yield to the
obseevatiouo which bad fallen from the Ha►. Pro.
priories who supported the objection. He would
not press the question if there was an appea►ance of
the least informality ; but. es it was a nice point,
he wished, if it were agreeable to the Court, that it
should be referred to their Learned Comm!.

EAST INDIA HOUSE. SErreusea

A Quarterly General Court of Proprietors of
East Italia Stock wss this day held at the Com-
pany's House in Leittlenhall.street, for the trans-
action of a variety of hininem.
The minutes of the last Court having been read,
and sundry papers laid before the Proprietors, ia
conformity with the By-Laws—
The CHAIRMAN (Campbell Msr3oribank. Esq.)
informed the Court, that their Resolutions for ap-
pointing a Chattlain to the Facto►y at Canton, with
• salary of 8001. per annum—for granting the sum
of 60,0001. to the Marquis of Hastings—and for
allowing a pension of 8001. per annum to Sir W.
Doveton, late of the St. Helena Establishment—
had received the approbation of the Board of Com.
missiouers for managing the Affairs of India.
BY-LAITS.

Mr. Setjeeet BOSAIMUBT (the Company's stand-
ing Counsel) observes'. that the By-Law was per-
fectly valid, hosing received the approbation of one
Court and the confirmation of another. The Learn-
ed Gentleman then read the By. Law. which stated
" That every Resolution of the Court of Directors;
granting. new pension, or an increase of pension, to
the amount of 6001.—together with a Report, dat-
ing the grounds on winch it is recommended—and
also the docientersts on which such Report salon ncled,
shall be laid before the Proprietor's from the day
when notice shall be given that such a motion will
be brought Forward." The Learned Gentleman
said, that, by the terms of this law, it was clear
that the documents must be laid before the Pro-
prietors. It was impossible to put soy other con-
struction on it—and, though the law had passed
bat a few minutes antecedently to the other mo-
tion. it was, nevertheless, a valid Ile-Law.
Mr. R. Jacittort requested that. the letter of Sir
G. Barlow, as well as the accompanying Report,
should be read. This would at once shew every
person whether the letter was that sort of &cu.
"bent which the By-Lew contenplated.
The DEPUTY-CBAIRKAN and, if the letter of
Sir G. Barlow were read, it would clearly appear
that the Court of Directors had sintliiitg. in writ-
' ing. under their ceipideratiess. when they adopted
the retaliation, except that document. It would
then remain to be decided, whether that document,
according to the letter of the By-Low. was suffi-
cient to be laid before the Proprietors. •
The letter, dated the OW of May. 18111. was
them read. It stated the services of Sir G. Barlow,
is the Compemest Civil Departesiessie tor 84 ram—
alluded lathe high situation., he had filled, and the
important transactions in which lie had been en-
gaged—adverted to the expectations which had been
at different times held out to him, by the Court of
Directors and his Majesty's Goverineed, of most
distinguished honours and rewards—glanced at the
moderate fortune which lie at present possessed—
and concluded by recomrmmding his case to the
attention of the Court of Directors.
The Report of the Committee of Correspon.
deuce, recommending a pension of 1,5001. per an-
num to Sir G. Barlow, wits then read.
Mr. PATTISON felt it his duty to state, that the i
documents on which the Report was founded, were,
confined to Sir G. Barlow's letter. Beyond that.
the case merely rested on the notoriety of Sir Geo.
Barlow's history. Under these circumstances, lie
conceived the By-Law was fully complied with. for
the ground of the Resolution and Report was acts•
ally before the Proprietor..
Mr. HUMS said, no document hid been produced
to prove the amount of Sir G. Barlow's fortune.
If he had stated that circumstance in a letter to a
former Chairman, that letter ought to be produced.
Mr. EL JACICSON said, the short answer to the
proposition which had been introduced, viz. that
the present net being a new Resolution, the Court
might proceed with it, was this—that the By-Law
was law at this moment. and the pension was not
law, and could not be so. until it hiss] passed
through two succeeding Courts. The Court of
Directors were now called on, by the law, to lay
before the Proprietors, not merely the grounds on
which a petition was recommended, but the docu-
ments by which those grounds were supported.
What were the grounds stated in the Report on
this occasion ? They disclosed a catalogue of absent '
documents, without which be did not think they
could proceed. The Learned Gentleman then pro-
ceeded to comment on the letter of Sir G. Barlow.
That honourable individual alluded to " repeated
Resolutions of the Court of Directors, expressive
of their approbation of his conduct." He would
ask, whether one of those Resolutions had been
laid before the Proprietors ? He wished those
Resolutions to be fairly set forth; they would
be honourable to the character of Sir G. Barlow.
He also spoke of " the expectations which had at
different times been held out to loin by the Ho-
nourable Court and his Majesty's Government."
Perhaps they could not continent' these documents
—but the Directors might say. that certain letters
written by them did convey high approbation.
and might have given rise to expectations. "Of
ell these circumstances," continued the letter.
" your Honourable Court is fully apprised." Then
let the Proprietors be also apprised. A law had
passed. within the hour, which rendered it neesaseep
that the facts should be laid before them. He hod
no right to rely on the solitary opinion of an indivio
dual. He most decidedly agreed with the Learned
Counsel th•-• Asir interpretation of tbs

Mr. Hubs asid,that the By. Law, cap. 6. sec. 20,
which had just been passed, would not allow the
Court to proceed with the present motion. That
Ity•Law required, that every Resolution of the
Court of Directors, conferring a pension or a grant
of money, beyond the sum of 6001. should, when
laid before the Proprietors, be accompanied with
all the documents on which such Resolution was
grounded. In this instance, he was not aware that
any one document had been laid before the Court.
The grounds stated in the Resolution of the Court
of Directors were the long and faithful services of
Sir G. Barlow—the elevated stations he had filled
—and the moderate means of living in a style befit.
sing his rank, which he at present possessed. But
in support of these three points, not a document had
been submitted to the Proprietors.
The CHAIRMAN observed, that the motion re-
specting Sir G. Barlow was brought forward at
a previous day, long before the By-Low now al-
luded to had passed. He therefore conceived that
it might be proceeded with.
Mr. Hums said, a new By-Law had been
passed which rendered the introduction of docu-
ments necessary on this occasion. The letter of
Sir G. Barlow, which had been read at the former
Court, contained no one circumstance, except one,
that could enable the Court of Director*, or that
Court, to come to this resolution. Sir G. Barlow
there said " that the situation of his affairs was
known to the late Chairman, to whom he had ad.
dressed a letter stating Isis private property." He
would ask, whether Sir G. Barlow's letter was a do.
cumeut sufficient to shew his services, the stations
he bad filled, and the property he possessed ? He
submitted that the objection lie hod started was
fatal to the present proceeding.
The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN (G. A. Robinson,
Esq.) observed, that the objection could hardly he
said to apply to a question in such a state as the
present was. A By-Law„ the confirmation of
which had just passed, could scarcely be considered
as iutendtd to interfere with any question that had
previously been before the Court. Now the ques-
tion relative to Sir G. Barlow had been long pend-
ing—and whether it was brought on before the con.
&motion of a By-Law, or subsequently, was, he
thought, substantially, of no importance. The
By-Law that had just received the sanction of the
Court must have a prospective, nut a retrospective
operation.
Mr. Hunts reiterated his objection—observing,
that it mattered not whether a By-Law had been
passed for a day, or a month. or a year—when
once it had received the sanction of the Court. its
provisions must be strictly attended to. The time
made no alteration. The By-Law said. that an re-
solution of that Court could he considered but as
is Inbuilt. until it received the aPProbatiou of the
Proprietors twice—and, if that were the case, by
pausing the new law, they had put it out of their
dower to proceed.

Ike. Arrived at the place of meeting. the Moor
'presented • spectacle never before equalled in tine
teem. At lOW twenty thousand ',croons were as-
sembled; end it wee an assembly which—whatever
may be thought of the political opinions of those
who constituted it—displayed in a strong and intr.
resting light, the honesty of Yorkshiremen, and the.
breve, open, kind4seartedoess of Englishmen. - it
contained bet one soul—and that soul firm end
frank, jealous and peaceable. A number ale-
amides, of various ages. were introduced on to,tfie
platform port of whom were dressed in white. wi-!1
green end black ramrods round their sleeves. and
pert iu deep mourning.
About four o'clock, Mr. Meanie came for-
ward to propose, that the Gentleman who had acted
so noble ta pert in relieving. and giving bail for, tie
Reformers who were imprisoned at Manchester.
Mr. Chapman, should take toe Chair.

Mr. MASON introduced the business, ht s speech
which displayed much eloquence, judgusent, and

He was followed by Mr. WlLLatt. of Dewsbury, -
who read a very long string of Results:isms. sign.-
fyiog the opinion of the Meeting that Modica' Res
form was obsoletely necessary to the solvating, of tai-
coontry, and condemning in strong terms the tu.m...

At the conclusion of Alesmi's speech,
Blackburn, middle-eged woman, dressed iu black.
came to the (root of the hustings. and delivers.l
into the hands of the Chairman a cap of libert.
and so address to the women of Leeds. whicis she
requested that be would read to the Meeting. The
address was reed in • low tone, and was a mere
general recommendation to seal in the cause of
Reform. At this maned an unaccountable ',sine
seized some of the persons at the outskirts of the
Meeting, and some hundreds rats away ; but there
was not the slightest elitist for alarm, and a hearty
shoot reisspired cenfidence.
The Reolutions were now put collectively, e
carried without a dissenting voice. • •
Mr. Joan BLACKBURN now iddresseil the Alert-
jog at same length. but producest very little effect.
Mr. JOE* SIIITIIIOII followed in at humorous and
clever speech. which was well received.
The Thanks of the Meeting were voted to Sir
Charles Wskuley. Mr. Pearson, Mr. Harmer, Mr.
Dennis.., Mr. HIM. Major Cartwright, Mr. Cub-
bet,. M. Chapman. and Mr. Wroe.
The Thanks +' the Meeting were also voted. and
curled with immense applause, to George
Kate the Mayor of tbi‘liemagl6. for big liberal nnil
emlivphhemll modest iitteipg the whole of his
iihrdeilir. If en, thing can give pleasure to that
gentiodian it will be the contrast this town now re-
Mhihite with Manchester and Paisley. Yet had his
wieders been less we might now have been in the
midst at ,ist and disorder. We had no interfer-.
cane—use Wingless—so hostility.
A scene perfectlynovel now commenced, snit
one which it omit be allowed, war houourable to
the peat men who chiefly constituted the meeting.
Mr. NITCIIIBLL proposed that a collection should
be immediately made to assist the sufferers at Man-
chester, sad t. enable every proper legal invettiets-
*ion to be made into the proceedings of the istithori-
ties there.
A lend beret of applause welcomed the proposed.
and distantly hats were circulatiug over the heads
"tithe multitude, collecting the peuce and shillings
which were poured into them with the utmost wil.
lingoes*. The hats were all handed to the hustings.
and their waited contents amounted (I have just
learned) to 151. las. 61d. It was really most pleas-
ing to de the perfect honesty with which this col-
lection was carried on; the honour and benevolence it
evinced in the poor end needy. Not only did every
hat reach the hustings with its burden, but all.
'riddd exceptiou, even from tile very outskirts of
the assembly. were duly conveyed back to their
owners. One hat was lost for a time ; but it was
Seta elevated on a stick in a distant part of the
crowd. and immediately conveyed to its owner. I
believe, from my soul, no one could have
seen this Meeting, and declared, that its mem-
bers were revolutionists. It is highly honoura-
ble to the town of Leeds. that spch perfect
temper, moderation. honesty, and 'Nisei fill-
ed, should be preserved by upwards of .20,000
of the lower seders of its inhabitants. There was
not a tumultuous motion ;—nay. I venture to affirm.
there was not a riotous dispusitiou in any portion of •
that meeting. It dispersed
as 1 ,esmet.peacealply.
I am writing et eight o'clock in the evening. .
At half past seven the main street of the teem was
filled by thousands of exulting Reformers. sod a

not more crowded than it usually is at this hunt.
