llsr PtMA ROMA: ,
Yesterday • General Quarterly Covert of the Pina
praetor. was held at the Eon India Home.
At the opening of the Court, the_ CtialftelAn in.
formed the Proprietors that the following papers
were new I serf belts.* them for their informanoe,
viz. A List of the Seventh:merino Alloweeree, suit'
certain papers relative to their College at liet tfortl.
He had ale' to inf.am the Court, il,,t siete they
lint met an Act of Pirliament had p serif, to eitoble
the Company to defray the trireme/ of the corps of
Volunteers. The last Court of Dieret•Ths. was made
special for the purpose ofgranting o pension of
1,0001. per slalom to Itanert Mark:ruff Ilarnerd,
ill compels itiou for theirs, of ht. vitiating) es
Cover And Soria Warrhouse-keeper. which hal
been abolished. The grounds on which et came
recommended to the. Court were, 35 ipare faithful
service-of the individual, for whom oat suitable em•
pigment could be found. As the papers had bent
mien time before them, lee should merely move that
ithe Resulution t f the Court of Directors should be
ellinfirms;d.
' Mr. Ilt:Ile said, lie was happy to oheerve symp-
toms of a determination to the Court of Directors
to reduce the expenses of their cdmmercial esta-
blishment; but he could uot.avoid thinking, that
if any real disposition to ecosiomise lead existed.
means would have been found of employing the
individual for whom this pension was required, ir
sonic of the branches of their eatensise establish•
mind, instead of ruptraiinuating him, as it were, iii
the prime of his life. lie could not avoid recall-
ing to the recollection of the Proprietors. that
when, its 1818, lee submitted the great empensee
of their commercial rilablithinents tendered their
trade not worth following, lie was met by en Honour..
able D,rector, not now present, by • complete de.
Mal that there was ally loss nit the commerce cf
cloth to the different parts of India; sad that Hon.
Director then said be was prepared to prove that
the profits were such sta would uuthorite a tontiriu-
ance of the trade. What would be the surprise
of the Proprietress to find after this that the dia.
patches from India of 1817 state. in the'strongest
terms, the losing nature of the trade in question,
estimated by them at forty per cent. on the whole
of ihe imports ? The lion. Gentleman here read
a atatement from a report of the 6th of Alta
gust 1817, in which the prices of the cloths as
imported from India were compared with British
manufactures of the lame quality, by which
it appeared the latter were on the average about 50
per ere% cheaper than the former. He thought it
important tarot the statements of Gentlemen iii the
direction should meet with implicit confidence,
and he now mentioned what had occurred so long
ago, as he thought lie had reason to complain of the
smuttier in which lie was then met, whet* lie loured
since he was completely borne out by written docu-
ments. As there bad been a considerable reduction
of their commercial produce,lie considered that tf.e
expense. of the establishment ought to be reduced
in the same proportion. He would not make any
objection to the motion now before them, but in the
present state of the establishment, be thought it a
pity that no suitable employment could be found
for this Gentleman upon rt.
Mr. RIGBY said, lie knew bow ungracious a
task it was to oppose a grant to an individual ; but
he must enter hi, protest against that liberality
which went to pension individuals who were quali-
fied for active life. only to appoint others for the
purpores of patronage.
Mr. LOWS DES coull not avoid tracing these pre.
mature peerlion grams to the desire that Gentlemen
had to provide for their own friend.. Adverting to
the thin attendance of Proprietors, he thought it •
would be highly desirable. and lie expressed 114
intention at some future period of movirig it as a
by-law, that no considerable sum of 'money should
be granted, unless it certain number of Proprietors
were preseiit to form a Court, otherwise he should
not be surprised to find the Court, at awe time
or other, in the lame situation in which Dean Sod;
once was in the pulpit, with only his civic to form
..
a congregation. So they may lure a petition to
grant with only the Chairman and one Proprietor
to form a Court.—/A lusigh.)—He was one of
those who thought they ought to be just before
they were generous, and reduce their debts before
they increased their pension list.
The CHAIRMAN said, the observations of the
Hon. Proprietor (Mr. Hume) on the proceediugs
of a former Court, had little to do with the ques-
tion now before them. lie regretted the llououra
able Director alluded to by him was not present
to reply, but lie believed he might take upon him..
self to say, that the Honourable Proprietor's state-
ment was not quite correct. The Court of Direc-
tors lead been extremely anxious to provide en]•
ployment fur Mr. Barnard; but it could not be
done without cluing injustice to other deserting
individuals, if he was placed over their headi.
Mr. RIGBY wished to know, nil case this Gentle.
man (who was to be pensioned in the prime of lift),
should devote his abilities and experience to for=
ward the interests of any rival in their trade, %she•
ther there was any power iu that Court to revoke
or limit his pension ?
Mr. Lowaines conceived it would he very de•
sirable if it were adopted as a general principle ir
their future grants of pension, if it were provided
that in case the pensioner should at any future time
after the grant, acquire, by bequest or otherwise%
4 Certain sum, a curresFouding reduction should
trite place its his pension. Tnis was the practice
, of Government in the army mid navy, and ought
I to be imitated by them.
The CHAIRMAN now put the question, and the
resolution of the Court of Directors was coiefirtned.
Mr. RIGBY observed, he had nut received any
answer to lets question.
The CHAIRMAN raid, he always considered that
pensions were grained for life.
Mr. SAMUEL Mace% thought that io future 11:1
pensionsCogrnhUit)l2,y.dbbe granted only during the pecasure

Mr. PATCRSON thought that petitions. whets
granted, ought to be certain, and out eutiect, to

The CHAIRMAN then moved the Court to coo-
firm the resolution of the Court of Directors for
granting a pension of .5001. a year to George Mordeo,
jun. second clerk in the Coast sod Surat Ware-
, houstakeeper's office, abolished. Ile had atfvel

Jr. LowNDIX seconded the amendment.
The CHAIRMAN said, the difficulty of finding a
towable employment in this rose state out of the
ki.gth Of service of the Gentleman in question. To
place him in another department, accordieg to his
m•Liarity. could not be done without great cruelty
and injustice to other meritorious servants in those
departments, anal he must therefore oppose the
lion. Proprietor's amendment. In reply to the
other Hon. Proprietor (Mr. Low/rides), hr must in.

and consequently no patronage exercised.
After some further conversation, in which Mr.
S. Minx, the CHAIRMAN. and Mr. PATERSON
participated,
Mr. Hung replied.
The atnenritneist was then put and negatived.
The main question was afterward,' put and carried.
Mr. Mtn, with refeience to the papers laid on

that only the toles had heel, rend. lie entered at
some length into the grounds of his objection to
the whole ,)stein of the establishment. and com-
plained of the illiberal treatment Dr. Gildinet had
experienced.

11 V. LOWNDIVI then rose.
The CHAIRMAN observing there WII9 no question

Captain W. H. L. DA LRY so PLR was sworn into

Interesting dispatches have been received from.
Persia, which announce to Ministers the intrigues of
the Russian agents in that country, and indicate the
drsigna of the Court of Petershurgli. The footing
they have obtained is an firm that they no longer
consider it necessary to disgruse their projects. On
the death of the reigning Monarch, who is in the
lost stage of decline, they consider it as certain that
they will posoess the complete control. The Rus-
sian Charge d'Affaires at Tehran declared publicly,
that in future the Persians must be content to re-
ceive their Sovereigns from Russia; to which he
added, England could not reasonably object, as she
gives away kingdoms every day in India. The re-
;;uler army of Russia now in Georgia, and on the line
of the Caucasus, is upwind, ul 100,000 men, of
which 30,000 are part of the late army of occupation
in France. They have been actively in the field
fnr the last two years against the tiehirlows mod

a dinner which he gave to Critish Officers in the

INSOLVENT DEBTORS" 'COURT.
ealre2lllllll 27.
William Ryrie, a gentleman of fashionable sp.
peannice. was opposed by Mr. Cooke. on behalf of
Mr. Charles.Futleng, ou the ground that the M.
solvent had obtained money to ■ considerable
amount from Mr. Furlong under false pretences,
and without having had at the time of contracting the
debt any ►e•awsble hope of repaying it. The debt
to Mr. Furlong asasiented to 1401. money lent to
the Insolvent, or paid to his use while travelling and
residing in France. The Insolvent had, by way of
part payment, drawn two bills of exchange, one on
Mr. Woodbridge, of Richmond, in Surrey, for 404
land one foe SOL o• the late Doctor Colquhoun, the
Police Magistrate. The bills were bosh presented
!mid dishonoured, the pa►ties on whom they were
drawn having no effects in their hands.
The Prisoner underwent a long examination. in
which he stated that he had bad no funds in the
hands of Doctor Colquhoun or Mr. Woodbridge at
the time of drawing the bills. but he swore that he
had presented a Bank of lEnglatid note to Doctor
Colquhoun by way of compensation for trouble.
which was accepted, with • promise that it should
he at all times available to Mr. Ryris's service.
He also swore that Mi. Woodbridge had pro.
wised 'to hosiour any of his bills to a reasoisable
amount. When he incurred the del* he had con..
ceived himself entitled to a sum of 8,0001. from his
Majesty's Government, •s representative of an uncle
who had contracted for some works in Dominica,
although the Lords of the Treasury had a year be-
fore refused to acknowledge hit claim.
The Court, no witoes.es being called to the con.
nary, believed the story to be correct, and die.
charged the Insolvent.
