ST. ALI3AN'S STEEPLE CHASE.—Eighteen occupiers of farms
in the neighbourhood. of St. Alban's have published an anti-
sporting manifesto. The Steeple Chase to which this refers
is .;-red for the 10th of March. The manager of the chase,
Mr. Thomas Coleman, of St. Alban's, says, in reference to the
above veto, " that he has something like twenty different lines
of cou:itry offered to him by the most respectable farmers in the
neighbourhood of St. Alban's, for the purposes of the chase, so
that there will be no occasion for intruding upon the lands of
those gentlemen who have so ungenerously shown their aver-
sion to that favourite pastime.

CLAIMS of MR. 131.3.CKINGTIAM) M.P
tie EAST INDIA CO3IPAN Y. •
A Melia;; of Gentlemen of Edinbargh, held on the Bth inst.,
impresses: with a sense of the jostiee of Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S
cawe, and the great injury he has sustained, unanimously resolved
as follows :
• I. That the Meeting entertains a deep feeling of sympathy with
Mr Buckingham; and understanding that his Claims are shortly
to be considered in Parliament, resorve that a PETITION, which
the Inhabitants of Edinburgh will be invited to sign, shall forth-
with be presented in favour of the said claims, to both Houses of
Parliament.
[ 11. That Lord Glenelg be requested to present the said Petition
to the. House of Lords, and Sir John Campbell, one of the Mem-
bers for Edinburgh, be requested to present it to the House of
Commons.
111. That the following be adopted, as the said Petition :
To the Lords Spiritual and Temporal (or to the Commons of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland) in Par-
liament assembled, the Petition of Inhabitants of Edin-
burgh,—
Humbly Sheweth :—That your Petitioners have read, in the
proceedings of Parliament the following Resolutions, unani-
mously agreed to by a Select Committee of the House of Com-
mons, and, reported to that tiorlourable House on the 4th of
Aure..4.., 1834, viz.
I rtesolved, that it appears to your Committee that Mr.
Bi.,,,kingham resided in Bengal, from the year 1818 to 1823, under
a license of the Last India Company, and was engaged as principal
Proprietor and Editor of the " Calcutta Journal," which was then
a highly profitable concern, yielding to himself and other Proprie-
tors, a large annual income.
2. " Resolved, that it appeared to your Committee that in the
year 1823, in the exercise of the discretion vested in the Governor-
General, Mr. Buckingham was, by the Acting Governor-General,
ordered to quit India within two months.
3. " Resolved, that it appeared to your Committee that after
the departure of Mr. Buckingham from India, the Calcutta Jour-
nal was, by order of the Governor-General, altogether suppressed.
4. " Resolved, that your Committee, without impugning the
motives which actuated the moottres of the Government, feel that
these measures have in their consequences proved tck Mr. Bucking-
ham and his family penal to a degree, which could not have been
contemplated at the time of their adoption.
5. " Resolved, that your Committee are therefore of opinion that
compensation ought to be made to Mr. Buckingham.
6. " Resolved, that your Committee abstain from expressinc, any
opinion as to the amount of compensation, in the hope that that sub-
ject will be taken into the favourable consideration of the East
India Company ; and thus the interposition of Parliament in the
next session to fix such amount be rendered unnecessary."
That your. Petitioners have learned with disappointment and
surprise that notwithstanding these most cogent Resolutions, the
East India Company have refused the compensation declared to be
due to Mr. Buckingham. That mur Petitioners consider that re-
fusal a denial of justice, a wrong (for they are informed there is no
action for it competent at law) which demands fur its remedy a
direct exercise of that control over the acts of the East India Com-
pany which is constitutionally vested in Parliament.
'that your Petitioners cordially concur in the conclusion come to
by the Legislature, and to a certain extent by the Board of Control
itself, that the principles, for his advocation of which Mr. Bucking-
ham was banished from India, and his property and prospects in
life sacrificed, and constitutionally and essentially sound, namely,
Freedom of Trade, Freedom of Settlement, and Freedom of Publi-
cation ; all of whom now, by the list Charter for India, recognised
and established as law; and they humbly maintain that, instead of
patrimonial ruin and reproach, Mr. Buckingham deserves the gra-
titude of his country, and of India itself, for his conduct.
Tour Petitioners, therefore, humbly entreat your Honourable
House that you will be pleased to give your sanction to such a bill
as may enable the said James Silk Buckingham to recover from the
East India Company that compensation which the Select Committee
of the House of Commons reported it to be their unanimous opinion
that the said East India Company ought to make to him for the
destruction of his property, occasioned by the measures herein before
mentioned.

And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
N.B.—The Petition will remain for Signatures at the places
following till the sitting of Parliament, viz. :
Mr. Matheson's, bookseller, 39, George-street.
Messrs. Alex. Cruickshanks and Sons, 57, George-street.
