EAST INDIA HOUSE.

Yesterday an adjourned General Court of
Proprietors of East Stock was held at the Company's House in
Leadenhall-street, for
tion of the propriety the purpose of resuming the considers..
of petitioning Parliament for the repeal of
the compulsory clause of the Act of the 53d of Geo. 3d; which
directs that no Writer shall be sent out to India who shall not
have previously resided for four terms at HATLEYBU&T
COLLEGE.

Prior to the commencement of the regular business,
Mr. KIRKPATRICK alluded to the exclusion of the Reporters
for the Public Press during the preceding debate, from the si-
tuation in the body of the Court where they were in the habit
of sitting, and inquired whether it was intended to afford them
th 7 usual accommodation ?
,o'rhe CHAIRMAN answered that he was not aware of the cir-
lirnstance alluded to until late yesterday evening. No order
had been ;;,iven to exclude the Reporters. They were now pre-
sent, and he hoped would receive every accommodation. But
he could not be a party to granting that as a right which WAS
in fact a matter of indulgence.
The motion was then read.
Mr. MONEY rose, and in a very eloquent speech pointed out
the various benefits which the Company derived from the Insti-
tution at Hayleybury, and concluded by imploring the Pro-
Prietors to put a direct negative on a proposition, which, if car-
ried, would effect the demolition of the College.
Mr. TRANT expressed himself as decidedly in favour of the
Resolution. He urged that the young men ought rather to be
educated at Oxford or Cambridge, than at Hayleybury, and in
suPPort of his opinion quoted the speech delivered by Lord
Grenville in 1813, who censured the establishment of a sepa-
rate Cone e for the education of young men going out to
la• His Lordship considered it most unwise to rear up the
Young men as a sort of caste, instead of allowing them to mix
lit general society, by which means alone they could form a
streng and masculine character.
▪ Mr. BEBB stated, that when the Institution was first pro-
Jected, he, deceived by the speciousness of the plan, was
Fealous in its support. But he would not be acting justly, if
he did not say that eighteen years experience with a vigilant
eye on what Passed during that period, had greatly altered his
°pinion. He then pointed out a variety of defects in the system,
and reprobated, in strong terms, that statute of the College by
dwhich confessions of delinquency were extracted from the Stu-
eats. He lamented the expulsion of the young men in 1821.,
on account of mere boyish thoughtless tricks. He was grateful
to'those who brought forward this proposition, which he thought
would produce very beneficial effects.
Mr. R.
uRANT, though of opinion that those discussions
ended to injure the College, would yet add, that the injury
considerably lessened by the tone of calmness and temper
11",..• t,ll which the Motion had been brought forward, and which
characterised the whole debate. The Learned Gentleman
intended that if there were any defects in the law by which
• College was governed the proper course would be that pro-
r' by hia Hon. Friend (Mr. Hume), namely, to refer to the
Lett of Directors to consider what steps it would be neces-
-0417 to take to remedy those defects instead of proceeding at
to Parliament, and as must be the case, opening the
