VAST INDIA AFFAIRS;

Yesterday a General Court was held at the East
India, House, pursuant. to adjournment,, for the
purpose of resuming the consideration of a report
from the Committee of Bye-Laws. On the Chair-
man opening the business, by moving that the
chapter of election be•conside.red,
The Hon. D. ii.lNNAtan gave notice, that if the Court of
Directors shoufd mit prepare a paragragh for Madras relative
to Mr. Cootie's conduct with respect to Mr. Sherson, he should
feel himself bound to introduce one himself to the notice of
the Proprietors.
The Cnaram,:v observed it was imposilble for him to say
more thau that the Directors meant shortly to take the busi-
ness into consideration; but he had no kind of objection to
the Honourable Proprietor taking the matter into his own;
hands.

Nir. R. JACKSON said a few words as to the character which
Mr. Cooke had given of himself, which, if substantiated,
every moment he remained in the Company's service was a
foiil libel on the Constituent Body._

After a conversation, in which the CnittnNav took occasion
to annoynce the welcome intelligence of the disputes at Can-
ton being happily terminated, the Court proceeded to the
Order of the Day.

On coming to Section 7 of the Bye-Laws, a long and ani-
mated debate arose on the motion of My. KINNAIRD, and
seconded by Mr. HUME, to omit the .words " or less than.
five."

At 5 o. clockthe question being loudly called for, the same
was put; and the Amendrueqt being lost by a very considerable
majority, a ballot was demanded on the main question, which
was fixed for Wednesday, the 14th inStant; on which day this
further consideration of the Bye-Laws will be resumed.
