EAST INDIA HOUSE.

The special general Court of the East India Company
was held by adjournment at their house, in Leadenhall-
street, on Tuesday, for the purpose of continuing the con-
sideration of the correspondence regarding the arrange-
ment proposed by her Majesty's Ministers for the future
government of India ; Mr. Ellice in the chair.
Colonel SYKES said, if he were to discuss the subjects
that impressed themselves upon his mind at the then
present moment, and were to occupy the Court with the
details he possessed to illustrate the important question
before them he should exhaust their patience before he
exhausted his materials. Hitherto, the question before
the public consisted most in a tissue of assertions on the
one part, and he was sorry to say of a very little more
than a tissue of denials on the other part. It was quite
right that stewards should be subject to periodical ex-
aminations, but a just steward should be made respon-
sible for his own acts only, and not for those over which
he had no control. The principal heads of accusation
against the Court of Directors (he would not go into the
puerilities contained in the petitions presented to the
House of Commons, for they were, in one word,
crassw ignorantice)—the principal accusations were,
that there had been oppressive taxation, and, as a
consequence, a dimunition of the population, with
misery, suffering, and hoplessness ; that the company
had not produced cotton to meet the call of the
Manchester manufacturers ; that the cost of the col-
lection of the Indian revenue had been enormously
wasteful ; that the directors had abused their patron-
age by not sending out to India persons of talent and
efficiency ; and that the India-house establishment was
an enormous and wasteful cost. Now, the India
Minister, in his speech of five hours' duration, showed
that in the last 20 years there had been a satisfactory
progress in every department of the administration of
the government, whether originated at home or in
India ; and that if there were any shortcomings they
were owing to circumstances over which the Court had
no control whatever. With regard to the population
of India, he would enter into a few statistics. In
1850-51 a careful census was made of the Madras pre-
sidency. In 1839 the population of that presidency was
taken at 13,967,395 ; in 1850-51 the census gave
22,301,657. Admitting that the difference could not
altogether have arisen from natural causes, still there
must have been a large natural increase of population.
In 1831 the little island of Bombay contained a popu-
lation of 162,570 ; in 1849 the population amounted to
566,119. The manifest increase of the population of
India could, not, therefore, be questioned. With an
increased population there must. have been increased
industry. Again, there was an increase in the exports
from India between the years 1834-5 and 1849-50 of
123 k per cent. It had been thrown in his teeth by a
Radical that the increased exports showed an increased
exaction from the people ; but what were the imports
into India during those two periods ? In 1834-5
the imports were 6,154,1291., in 1849-50 they were
13,696,6961., being an increase of 1221 per cent. Add
to this that between 1834-5 and 1849-50 33,257,4871. of
bullion was imported into India which never got out of
that country again. Since the year 1800 the total amount
of bullion absorbed in India was 100,000,000/. sterling.
The hon. and gallant proprietor then stated the great
improvements that had been made in the means of com-
munication in India, at the same time observing that
for eight months in the year India was all road. After
expressing his disapproval of the proposed nomination of
six directors by the Crown, and his wish that the delay
of legislation should be to the Greek kalends, rather
than that the bill should pass in its present shape, the
hon. and gallant proprietor concluded by disclaiming all
feeling of partisanship on this question. He hoped the
Court and the public would consider that he was an ad-
vocate of the Court of Directors from an honest convic-
tion of the truth of the opinions he had expressed.
Mr. CLARK supported the resolution. No doubt, as
the mover of the amendment had said, the Government
had the right to displace the East India Company and
to take possession of India, but the question was—were
there adequate grounds to justify that step ? To war-
rant such a course they ought to show that India was
misgoverned. Had they done that 1 So far from it,
the whole speech of Sir C. Wood was a eulogy on the
present government of India ; and yet, such was the
inconsistency of the right hon. gentleman, he immedi-
ately after proposed to altogether alter the constitution
of that court which had thus so well and so wisely go-
verned India.

Mr. MILLS was desirous of noticing the attacks which
had been made upon the Court of Proprietors and upon
the executive body of the company. He thought it right
that they should, as a preliminary step in this discussion,
relieve themselves from the load of opprobrium that had
been so unscrupulously cast upon them, and, unless they
succeeded in doing so, they would be unfit to take part in
the discussion of this or of any future scheme for the govern-
ment of India. It had been truly said, that all men
who undertook a public trust must render an account
of that trust, but when the time of investigation had
come and tribunals of both Houses of Parliament had
been appointed to investigate and report upon their
conduct, they might have expected that they would not
have been exposed to personal imputations, and that
any comments made on their conduct would have been
confined to facts established in evidence. But such had
not been the case. The directors had been subject to
much animadversion by the public press and by their
anonymous contributors, and they had been assailed by
a nobleman of great talent, of great Indian knowledge,
a member of the highest court of judicature, a member
of the committee of the House of Lords, appointed to
try the East India Company, and a witness before the
committee of the House of Commons. It might have
occurred to that distinguished nobleman that the first
attribute for the discharge of those important functions
was impartiality. But, unluckily, whenever the Court
of Directors were named the noble lord seemed to lose
all sense of legislative propriety and to think of nothing
but of his recal. (Cheers, and laughter.) With this
angry and unstatesmanlike feeling he had endeavoured
on all occasions to overwhelm the Court of Directors,
and degrade it in public estimation by statements for
the most part unfounded. The first charge made against
the Court was that of last year—namely, the perversion
of patronage. He accused the directors of not regard-
ing the claims of their Indian servants. That charge
was answered by the secretary of the company.
who showed that nearly one-third of the patronage
went to the sons of their Indian servants. At that time
he (Mr. Mills) had the curiosity to ascertain in what
manner this friend of India had bestowed his patronage,
and he discovered that the noble lord had done as others
did—had given it to his own friends and acquaintance,
but among whom not one Indian was to be found. He
(Mr. Mills) should not have alluded to this if, after the
error had been pointed out, any apology had been made
for it ; but in lieu of that the noble lord, on a subse-
quent occasion, in alluding to their civil patronage,
said,—" It seemed to him most scandalous and most in-
jurious that the system now existing should be pre-
served ; that any man, never heard of except within the
narrow limits of his own private acquaintance, should
have the power, if he should think it agreeable to him
to become a director of the East India Company, to ad-
vertise himself as a candidate, and, by dint of the most
judicious bowing during a period of seven years, at last
to obtain that which he miscalled the object of his
ambition ;' that he should then be able, with paternal
kindness, and prepossession, and fondness, to review
his young sons, and at once to designate the one who
might appear to him to possess some superior ability
to the rest as the future governor of a province as
populous as Canada ; that he should select another
standing perhaps a little lower in ability, a future judge
of a great empire • and that ho should turn to the
most stupid or indolent among them and say, ' You
arc unable to pass for the civil service, I shall be com-
pelled to give you nothing but a direct commission ;
you will die a general, and you will come home at a
later period than your brothers, and with much inferior
emolument, but such is the necessary consequence of
your deficient industry of talent ;'—was it decent that
in 24 cases in every year that passed over our heads
this scene might take place, and that the persons so de-
signated, all perhaps equally incompetent, should be
sent out in the different departments—in the army, or
the revenue, or the judicial branch—to discredit the
country ?" Now, that was a grossly exaggerated state-
ment, as had been proved by the hon. baronet (Sir J.
Hogg) in the House of Commons ; for out of 688 appoint-
ments only 159 had been given to the relations of direc-
tors. He could for himself say, having with his father
and uncle altogether had a seat in that court for 63
years, that only one member of his family had been in
the service of the East India Company. He claimed no
credit for that, because, being connected with the great
commercial interests of the country, they had been able
to do better for them. What he wished to state was,
that the committee of the House of Lords being sitting,
that was the proper place for these statements to be in-
quired into, and then their truth or falsehood would be
established. But the real question was, had they or not
provided able and efficient civil and military servants
for India ? In the presence of many of those distin-
guished men, it was hardly for him to speak ; but it was
universally admitted that for high moral feeling, for in-
tegrity, for ability, for general efficiency, those services
had produced men unsurpassed, if not unequalled, by
any service in the world. (Cheers.) India servants were
sent to every quarter of the globe to overcome difficul-
ties which tho servants of the Crown never were able
to grapple with. The hon. director then proceeded
to comment upon the evidence given by Lord Ellen-
borough and Lord Hardinge before the committee of the
House of Lords, and after passing a warm eulogium on
the great services rendered by Mr. Melvill, the secre-
tary of the Court of Directors of the East India Com-
pany, for a long series of years, especially in the pre-
paration of the papers used on the occasion of the re-
newal of the company's charter in 1833, concluded by
expressing a hope that the Court of Proprietors would
remember that up to this hour the East India Company
had been as glorious as it had been successful, and that
they would not be a party to any measure which they, in
their consciences, believed was calculated to destroy or
impair the independence of that court, and thus render
them a degraded and inefficient instrument for the future
and lasting good government of India. (Cheers.)
Dr. Mr. Alderman Salomons, Mr. Gray, Mr.
Twining, Sayer,r. Ripley, and Mr. Lewin then severally
spoke in support of the motion.

- -
The CHAIRMAN said, before the resolution was put,
he wished just to observe that the Court of Directors
were unanimously of opinion that the question as to the
future government of India ought at once to be decided.
Her Majesty's Ministers having proposed to continue
the system of a double government, the directors trusted
that that system would be adopted. The proprietors
had seen from the correspondence that the Court of
Directors did not entirely approve of the alterations
which were proposed to be made ; but he was in hopes
that, fortified by the opinion of the proprietors, the
Court of Directors would, on submitting their resolution

to them, be able to obtain such modifications of the bill
as would meet the views of all parties. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. SULLIVAN having briefly replied,
The amendment was put and negatived, and the
original resolution was carried unanimously.
The Court adjourned.

A quarterly general Court of Directors and Proprie-
tors of the East India Company was held yesterday, at
Leadenhall-street. Mr. Russell Ellice, Chairman of the
Court of Directors, presided.
The minutes of the last quarterly court were read and
confirmed.

Captain DUNLOP rose to order, for the purpose of
complaining of the statement that had appeared in the
papers of that morning, viz., that the resolution of the
previous day had been carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN said the Court had nothing to do with
the statements that appearei in the public papers.
The committee on bye-laws for the ensuing year was
then appointed.
Colonel DICKENSON then rose, pursuant to notice, to
call the attention of the court to the case of the Ameers
Scinde. The hon. proprietor, in a low tone of voice,
read the opinions that had been expressed by various
chairmen of the company as to the injustice that had
been done to those princes. He believed that the
unanimous feeling of the directors was in favour of the
Ameers, but they were restrained from giving expres-
sion to their opinions by the fear of offending the Minis-
ter of the day. In the blue book which he held in his
hand, and which had been laid upon the table of the
court, there was superabundant evidence of the inno-
cence of these men and of the injustice which had been
inflicted upon them. The hon. and gallant proprietor
concluded by moving—" That this court is of opinion
that the patrimonial estates of the late Meer Roostum of
Kyrpoor, which had been fraudulently appropriated by
Meer Ali Morad, and which have been recently resumed
by the British Government, should be restored to
Mahomed Hassan, and the other sons of the late Meer
Roostum ; or that an equivalent stipend in lieu thereof
be granted to them and their descendants ; also that like
provisions be made for the sons of the late Meer
Mobarreck."
Mr. LEWIN seconded the resolution. He observed
that it was admitted on all hands that a great wrong
had been done, and justice was up to the present time
withheld. He maintained that they were bound by
their Act of Parliament to afford redress to these princes.
It was owing to their neglect of this great principle that
they had fallen so much in the estimation of the public.
It was the practice of that court to refuse redress to ap-
peals from India, and he would prove it from the docu-
ments -of their own officials. The hon. proprietor was
about to refer to other cases, when

The CIIAIRMAN reminded him that the questipn before
them related to the case of Ali Morad and th Adieers
of Scinde.
Mr. LEWIN bowed to the decision of•the chair. He
trusted that the sense of justice of that court would in-
duce it to adopt the resolution' submitted by Colonel
Dickenson, and do an act of tardy justice to these
princes.

Mr. AYTOUN rose to offer a suggestion that it would
be advisable to modify the resolution so as to put it in
the form of a recommendation to the Court of Directors
to take the case of the Ameers into their consideration.
Subsequent investigation having shown that the Go-
vernment of India was wrong, he must say that he
thought these unfortunate men were fairly entitled to
the consideration of the court.

The Ca&IRMAN said the court must be aware, and
nobody more than the hon. and gallant colonel, that
there existed as much sympathy on that side of the bar
as on the other on behalf of the ex-Ameeis of Scinde
and their descendants. He was happy to tell him that
that the whole of the circumstances were under the
consideration of the India Government, which was
anxious to deal with it in the most liberal spirit. He
could hardly enter into the details, as the case was
under the consideration of the Governor-General, and
he had no doubt, notwithstanding what had been said
about broken promises, made, from time to time, that
they were in process of fulfilment, and that in a short
time such arrangements would be made in behalf of the
ex-Ameers as would lead to the restoration of these men
to their families. With these few words, he hoped, as
no time would be lost in carrying out the arrangement,
that the hon. and gallant colonel would withdraw his re-
solution, as, in its present shape, it was impossible that
the court could pass it. He hoped, therefore, it would
be withdrawn.

Colonel DICKENSON had the fullest reliance in the
statement of the chairman, but wished him to state what
the arrangement was to be.
The CHMIDIAN said it could hardly be expected that
he should do so.

Mr. LEwIN objected to the withdrawal of the resolu-
tion. Justice was an abstract right, and admitted of no
compromise.
The CHAIRMAN would then feel it his duty to move
the previous question.
The resolution of Colonel Dickenson was then put and
negatived, and the previous question carried.
Mr. LEWIN then brought before the court the case of
the court-martial held upon certain men of the 6th
Regiment of
.Light Cavalry of Madras. It was a ques-
tion which had been before the court several times, and
was likely to be several times more, unless justice was
done to these men. The motion he was about to sub-
mit to the court was for the production of papers show-
ing the number )f men still suffering in consequence of
the proceedings instituted by the Marquis of Tweeddale;
and whether they were suffering under the orders of the
Commander in Chief, or from the result of a court-mar-
tial, with the punishment awarded to each, &c. The
hon.' proprietor then proceeded to detail the circum-
stances connected with the mutiny in the 6th Madras
Cavalry which had occasioned the court-martial, con-
tending that the men had acted in error and ignorance,
and that they had been treated with great severity and
hardship and injustice, no proceedings having taken
place till nine months after the mutiny had occurred,
and the men all the time performing their duty in the
ordinary way. The sentence of the court-martial
strongly recommended them to mercy, although two of
them were actually executed.

Mr. SULLIVAN seconded the motion. He had heard
with great satisfaction that it was the intention of the
court to do justice to the ill-treated Ameers of Scinde.
He had always considered the case of Scinde one of the
foulest blots upon the administration of the Indian go-
vernment. It vas gratifying to find that the Court of
Directors were now disposed, where a case of injustice
or wrong was proved before them, to grant redress ; and
having announced their intention of doing justice to the
Ameers, he thought these unfortunate troopers of the
6th Madras Cavalry were fully entitled to the merciful
consideration of the court.
The CaernmAY said this was the seventh time the
question was brought before the court. The events
occurred in 1845. and as no persons were now suffering
under the sentence of the court-martial, their sentences
having expired, and they having been set at liberty, he
did not think it was judicious to enter again into the
discussion of the case. He should, therefore, call upon
the court to negative the motion.

After a few words from Mr. LEwIN, the question was
put and negatived.
Captain DUNLOP then proceeded at some length to
comment upon the measure proposed for the future go-
vernment of India, and suggesting various amendments
and modifications in the management and constitution
of the Indian Government. He concluded by moving
for the production of certain returns connected with the
interest on the debt of India.
Some other proprietors afterwards addressed the court
on the subject of the new India bill, most of the argu-
ments being a repetition of those of the two previous
days.
Major OLIPHANT, before the court adjourned, wished
to notice a statement made by a noble lord in the House
of Locds, with regard to the person connected with the
cotton cultivation in India. He had no hesitation in
stating that he was that director, and he would ask the
chairman to place the papers connected with that matter
upon the table, so that the proprietors would have an
opportunity of judging for themselves. The assertions
of the noble lord regarding the questions said to have
been mooted when he was elected to a seat in the
direction were utterly without foundation. (Hear.)
Mr. Him wished to know what steps it was intended
to take to place the resolutions and opiniobs of that
court before Parliament ? The greatest ignorance pre-
vailed upon the subject of the Indian Government both
in and out of Parliament, and he thought it would be
advisable to have their sentiments embodied in petitions
to both houses of Parliament. He strongly deprecated`
the system of secresy that had hitherto been pursued,
and hoped some safeguard would be introduced to secure
publicity to their proceedings.
The CHAIRMAN said they had not lost a moment's
time in communicating to the Board of Control the re-
solutions passed_ yesterday, and they would immediately
take into consideration what further steps they ought to
adopt.
The court then adjourned.

ROWING MATCH BETWEEN JOHN MACKINNEY AND
ALFRED CHITTY.—The long talked-of scullers race for 50/.
between these men, both of whom belong to Richmond,
and have earned much celebrity in a number of spirited
contests in which they have been engaged, took place
yesterday, and, considering the threatening aspect of the
weather, was extremely well attended. The distance
was from Putney to Mortlake, with tide, and Mackinney
the favourite, at 5 and 6to 4. An even and capital
start was effected between the men, immediately after
which Mackinney drew in advance, maintained it
throughout, and won easily.
SLAVERY.—The Alton (Illinois) Telegraph reports the
escape of slaves. It says :—"Slaves are running away
from Missouri at the present time in battalions. Three
, belonging to Mr. R. Meek, of Weston, ran away on
Wednesday of last week, two of whom were afterwards
apprehended ; they were making for the plains. Fifteen
made a stampede from Ray county the week before, and
took the line of their march for lowa. Several were
captured in Grundy County, but the larger number
made good their escape. It would be a glorious thing
for Missouri if all her slaves should take it into
their heads to run away. If she only knew it, they
are one of the greatest drawbacks to her advancement
and prosperity." The New York Journal of Commerce
remarks on the scarcity of labour in the south—
" We yesterday conversed with a southern planter from
the northern part of Georgia, who has come on here to
engage men to work on his plantation. He has com-
menced harvesting, and requires additional help ; but
the enhanced value of slaves since the abolition agitation
places it beyond his ability to purchase a large supply,
and white labour can be employed more economically
than that of hired slaves."

GOOD RIDDANCE.—Mrs. Perry, a young "bloomer,"
has eloped from Monson, Mass., with Levins Clough.
When her husband found she was determined to go, he
gave her 100 dollars to start with.--American Courier.
