served and with the Senate of which he was to the
end a venerated member; it may never be given to
another man, after such a career, to preserve even to
the last the full possession of those great faculties
with which he was endowed, and to carry on the
services of one of the most important departments
of the State with unexampled regularity and success,
even to the latest day of his life ;—these are cir-
cumstances, these are qualities which may never again
occur in the history of this country ; but there are
qualities which the Duke of Wellington displayed
of which we may all act in humble imitation. That
sincere and unceasing devotion to our country, that
honest and upright determination to act For the be-
nefit of the country on every occasion—that devoted
loyalty which, while it made ;him ever anxious to
serve the Crown, never induced him to conceal from
the Sovereign that which he believed to be tha truth
—that devotedness in the constant performance of his
duty—that temperance of his life which enabled him
at all times to give his mind and his faculties to ,'be
services which he was called upon to perform—theat
regular, consistent, and unceasing piety by which he'
was distinguished at all times in his life—these are
qualities that are attainable by others, and these are
qualities which should not be lost as an example. Let
us hope, therefore, that while we render every honour
to the memory of the Duke of Wellington—while
everything that can be done by the Sovereign and by
the country to show how they estimate their loss
should be observed, let us no: think Cut when we
have performed these services and rendered these
honours, our duty is then over. Let les all re-
collect that there was a man of whom this coun-
try was justly proud, and that among other qua-
lities we have those which it is within the power
of all to imitate, and which we may all endet.A-
your to attain.—(Cheers.) This much I have said
—I could not refrain from saying it; I trust you'
will excuse me for doing so, as the subject so much
occupied my mind. Perhaps lam the more justified
in saying what I have done, because there were few,
perhaps there were no persons, except the late Lord
Melbourne and myself, who could bear this testimony
—that however he might differ in political sentiments
with the person who held the chief office in the politi-
cal service of the State, he was as willing, as reak.V. as
forward in giving every assistance that he though.` for
the benefit of the country to one who differed in pOlie

COURT OF PROPRIETORS OF E
Company was held, Sir J. Hogg

Proprietors. _ ,
EaYstes
Bart., M.P., chairman of the company, presiding.
The minutes of the last general
Court having been
read and confirmed,
The CHAIRMAN announced that the report of the
Select Committee of the House of Lords, appointed to
inquire into the operation of the Act 3 and 4 William
IV., for the better administration of the Company's
Indian territories, had been printed, and that a copy
of it would be furnished to the proprietors. The
Honourable Baronet also laid on the table papers re-
lating to the colleges of Haileybury and Addiscona be.
Captain MACGREGOR gave notice of a motion Cor
i
next quarterly Court, " That n accordance with th e
principles followed in the Royal Military Colleges oi"
Woolwich and Sandhurst, it be recommended to the
Court of Directors to establish at Addiscombe a gra-
duated scale of payments for cadets, reducing the
charge for the sons of Indian officers proportionally to
the ascertained means of the parents, provided that
the same can be effected without any increased charge
to the East India Company."

SINDE AND DHAWULPORE.

In answer to a question from Colonel DICKENSON,
The CHAIRMAN stated that the papers relating to
the case of Allee Moorad, Nawaub of Bhawulpore,
had been already laid before the House of Lords, in-
cluding the proclamation of January 21, 1852, for the
annexation of the Nawaub's territories, and that si•
miler papers would be laid before the House of Com-
mons on the meeting of Parliament.
Colonel DICKENSON gave notice of a motion to pro-
duce the report of the Commission appointed in 1851
to investigate the case of Alle Moorad, with the mi•
nutes of Council thereof; ; also the report of Six G.
Clerk on Sinde.

SURVEY OF INDIA.
Colonel DICKENSON said that, at a former sitting
the Court, the late chairman had promised that steps"
should be taken for making the maps of the trigo-
nometrical survey accessible to the proprietors. He
wished to know if the portions relating to the Bom-
bay Presidency were yet completed, and if all the
existing routes or lines of roads were laid down in it.
The CHAIRMAN said the maps of the survey were
published in sections, and those relating to Bombay
were not yet completed. It was utterly impossible
to give all the existing lines of road in these maps, but
no doubt the principal lines would be given. Inde-
pendently of those to which he alluded, Mr. Walker,
under the instructions of the Court, was now prepar-
ing a very large and complete map of India. He could
not pledge himself as to the exact time at which it
would be ready, but he believed in a month or 3/X
weeks ; and, when completed, it would be the most
perfect map of India ever published. Under the
authority of the Quartermaster-General of Bombay,
a road-book had also been prepared of the roads of
Bombay, which, he presumed from its name, would
include all the routes both great and small. Mr.
Walker's map, with this road-book, would, he thought,
afford the Honourable Proprietor all the information
he could desire, and he would engage that orders
should be sent out by the present mail to transmit
home copies.

the directors to take by way of expressing their sense

that moment, and so recently after the melancholy
event in question, the hon. proprietor would no doubt
be satisfied with that assurance. It would be prema-
ture to say more than that, if it became necessary, it
would be the duty of the directors to assemble a
special court of proprietors for the occasion, to con-
