Yesterday a special general meeting of the proprietors

suant to a public notice given as follows :—"The Court of
Directors of the East India Company do hereby give
notice, that a special general court of the Company will
be held at their house, in Leadenhall-street, on Wed-
nesday, the 21st instant, at eleven in the forenoon, for
the purpose of submitting to the proprietors of East
India stock for confirmation a resolution passed unani-
mously by the general court this day, approving the
unanimous resolution of the Court of Directors of the
30th of June, 1847, granting to Major General Sir G.
Pollock, G.C.R., an annuity of 1 000/. upon the grounds
therein stated." The chair was taken by Mr. 11. St.
George Tucker at the usual hour, and the minutes of
the last court were read.

The CHAIRNAN stated that various papers had been
presented to Parliament since the last court was held,
the titles of which would be read.

The Clerk read the heads of the papers referred to.
THE GRANT OF 1,0001. PER ANNUM TO SIR GEORGE

POLLOCK, 0 . C. 13.

The CHAIRMAN stated thai the court was made special
for the purpose of confirming a vote passed unanimously
at a former meeting, granting an annuity of 1.000/. per
annum to Major-General Sir George Pollock. upon the
grounds stated in the resolution of the Court of Directors.
Sir PETER LAURIE claimed a hearing, to make a state-
ment in favour of an

ENDOWMENT OF A POLLOCK PRIZE AT ADDISCOMBE.
He expressed his regret that he was unavoidably pre-
vented attending the last court, when the proposed grant
was submitted to the proprietors; not that the proposal
required support, but to have seized the opportunity of
joining, as one of the oldest friends of Sir George Pol-
lock, in doing honour to his gallant friend; he would
not waste the time of the court in adverting to those
services, which were so well expressed in the vote before
them. Sir George Pollock's career now belonged to
history, and he (Sir Peer Laurie) trusted that it might
please Providence to restore the health of his gallant
friend long to wear the laurels he had 8 3 bravely won,
and long to enjoy this mark of the gratitude and respect
of the munificent service of the East India Company,

The question having been put as to the grant to Sir

much cheering.

THE EX RAJA OF SATTARA..
Mr. LEWIS said that it having been positively stated
in Parliament that the Raja had had a fair trial, and as
it bad been re•statsd by one of the leading journals of
the day, and as lie conceived that that statement was a
gross misrepresentation, and could easily be shown to
be so, he had been induced to give the present notice of
motion, in order that the truth of the statement might
be tested.

The notice is as follows:
" That the
Raja of Sattara having been deprived of
his throne, plundered of his property, and driven into
banishment, without having been heard in his defence
against the charges imputed to him, this Court is of
opinion that such a procedure is repugnant to the prin-
ciples of justice, whether m..ral, social, or political; and
that the honour, credit. and true interests of the British
Government, no less than the regard due to the rights
of the natives of India, require that it should be re-
versed."
This notice was handed in, and the Court on the ques-
tion adjourned.

The following is a memorandum in connexion with Sir
P. Laurie's motion, October 7th, 1844:
" That a gold medal and a sum of money (to be deter.
mined by the amount of subscriptions raised), to be
called the Pollock Prize, be presented annually to the
most distinguished cadet of the season, at Addiscombe,
to commemorate the name and services of Sir George
Pollock. Book., to be circulated in the three preeiden-
