EAST INDIA_ ITOUSE—(THIS
Y DAY.)
The quarterl • general court of directors was held this
in the East India 'House, Loadeehall-street, for
te"u purpose of transacting the routine business of the
e°rnP'rq: and also to take into consideration the mo-
tion of which an Hon. Proprietor (Mr. George Thomp-
"1).11) had given notice—namely. "To call the attention
,et the proprietors to the cr,nduct of the court of (Erec-
ters, and prefer certain charges against that body in
connexion with the case of the deposed Raja of Sattara."
r. Sir James Hogg, Bart., took the chair, and on his
ight and left were seated Henry St. George Tucker,
3,,C1', deputy-chairman, Major Urquhart, &c., &c.
The minutes of the previous court having been read,
Mr. GORDON moved that the minutes of the proceed-
ings of the last court be printed for the use of the pro-
Prietors. It was surely nut the intention of the directors
that their proceedings should be held secret; and, if not
made public, how were the people of India to ascertain
*hat were the proceedings of that court, and how they
mere affected by them? The Hon. Member concluded
Y proposing his motion, which, not being seconded, fell
to the ground.
The titles of certain returns were then read; also the
titles of certain papers ordered by the court on the 7th
of April and 6th of July last.
Mr. GORDON again proceeded to address the court,
I,llt was interrupted by the Chairman, who called on Mr.
"Surge Thompson to proceed with his motion.
Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON understood that a notice of
motion had been given by the Hon. Proprietor behind
3!him, and, with the sanction of the Court, he should
wish that that Hon. Proprietor should precede him.
After a few words from the CHAIRMAN,
Mr. SULLIVAN proceeded to call the attention of the
N-;ottrt to the circumstances attending the seizure, for he
hear,
not dignify it by the name of conquest.—(Hear,
!lear, from Mr. George Thompson.) He did not wish to
inflict upon that Court the whole history of the transac-
tions in that country, but he felt that it was incumbent
IPen him to refer to the latter occurrences in that
country.
The Court would recollect the saying of the
Governor-Genera,'., " that nothing but the clearest
evidence of the treason of the Ameers could justify him
tri Proceeding to extremity against them." These men
had been proceeded against, and convicted, because they
7d, as it was termed, been discovered writing treason-
nls letters to the Raja of Lahore. The Hon. Proprietor
I'M proceeded to show that the alleged treasonable letters
Were fictitious. Lieut. Mill, in writing to Major Outram,
said " he was unable to produce documentary evidence"
in support of the charges against the Ameers, because,
he asserted, trusty messengers had been intrusted
with verbal communications. It would but require a
ve,erY small degree of proof indeed to satisfy Sir
Charles Napier, who when he went to Sinde
stated that he wanted but a pretext to coerce the
4,43neers. Did he ask the Princes of Sinde to disprove
the treasonable letters? Did he show them those let-
-74? No. When they were asked for, they were in-
ornied that they were in Calcutta; they went to
Calcutta, and were there informed that the letters
"ere in India. Was there any shadow of justice
In airs? Yet the historian of the victims in Sinde
had the audacity to declare that his brother (Sir
le3harlee Napier) had sifted these charges to the
„He would read the extraordinavy passage
j,thich avo.nched this glaring misrepresentation. The
ien. Proprietor did so, and then proceeded to read
Passages from i he work of Major-General Napier, com-
Tenting upon them as he went on, and showing from
the testimony of Major Outram himself that many of
Point
C. Napier's movements were insane in a military
Point of view, and most unworthy and ungenerous in a
korai sense. When the Court some years before had voted
their thanks to Sir C. Napier for his services in India,
e (Mr. Sullivan) was the only proprietor who dissented,
for an intimate acquaintance with the Sinde papers had
haerced upon him the conviction that Sir Charles Nane dpier,
ving once entered upon hostilities, was determi to
Proceed until he had crushed them. It was then endea-
toured by those who justified the vote of the Court to
show that Sir Charles Napier was only an inferior ser-
hant, acting under the orders of a higher Court. He
()ad endeavoured to show that he had acted diametrically
oPPosite to the orders received from the Governor-
"Teneral, but prize money to the amount of 60,0001., a
governorship of 10,000/. a year, the colonelcy of a regi-
Peat, the insignia of the Bath, and a peerage, were
fearful incentives to the perpetration of a monstrous
gillty. And how was the whole of this tragedy wound
1? By the imprisonment of several of the Ameers,
ter they had received the assurance of Sir C. Napier
lthatlt if they remained quiet no harm would come to them.
Wound up by the imputations of the most shameful
character befog thrown upon them. And who were the
men who were thus treated? Were they the enemies of
ngland? No; they were her benefactors. They were
rever men who assisted General Nott and General Pol.
()ek in ther Caubul expedition. He would cite the highest
*
thorny in the empire to prove this fact. (The Hon.
proprietor quoted from the work of Mountstuart Elphin-
,7,ne, in corroboration.) He could conceive how this
j;(:)nle-hearted and noble-minded man must have wept as
e contemplated the fantastic tricks w hich were played
k that country— in that country which he had so much
assisted to consolidate by his wisdom, his integrity, and
moderation.—(Hear, hear.) He had felt it his duty to
l'„ilach blame to Sir Charles Napier, but he believed
his soul that the originator of all these
disasters and all this outrage was Major Outram.
(No, no.) But it was not yet too late to do an act of
4 • stiee. It was not yet too late to restore Sinde to the
' tneers. The conquest of that country was an act of
policy 117 only exceeded, if possible, by the attempt to
MMainit. It, any person would take the trouble to exa-
til,lite,tilet map of India, he would see demonstration

at friendly power they had once in Sinde ; that
friendly power he affirmed they might have again. The
"'on. Proprietor concluded by moving—" That in the
naipinion of this Court the restoration of Sinde to the
4%lneers is a meas;ire called for by considerations of jus-
tice, of sound polie:, and economy, and that the Court
of Directors be instfmted to take such steps as they
may think expedient for the furtherance of this object."
Captain DICKINSON seconded, and Captain EASTWOOD
r4Pported the motion.
A- DIRECTOR, whose name we could not ascertain, de-
fended
Colonel Outram, and defied any one to show a
angle instance in which that distinguished officer had
desired to avoid the shedding of blood.
The CHAIRMAN said that he trusted the object of
tt.
40 Honourable Proprietor had been gained by the state-
Ineilt which had been made before the Court, but it
might be expected that he, as the organ of the Court
had ectors, should shortly state what steps the Court
taiten in the matter of Snide. The Court of Di-
'eeters iiad written to the Governor-General in India, re-
-I,snesting him to investigate the subject, and to favour
h'e Court with his opinions upon the policy which
bad been adopted towards the Ameers of
t country. When that reply was received
thel Directors would not lose a moment in
if;Ying the communication before the proprietors.
verhaps the Hon. Proprietor would, under such circum-
a`,auces see the necessity of not pressing his motion to a
Mr. SULLIVAN, on the assurance that the subject
?uld Lave the earliest consideration from the Court of
Director.;, would withdraw his motion.
M. GI-L'ORGE THOMPSON did not see why the manifes-
tation of their feelings should be endeavoured to be con-
lied on that day. The question with regard to Sinde
i;.aet n a e matter of speculation ; they dealt with
hat al facts..
Mr. MARRIOVT rose to order.
The CHAIRMAN said the llon. Proprietor was strictly
is order.
Mr. GEORGE THoMPSON was aware that he was so,
'Jilt the Hon. Proprietor opposite, like his (Mr. Themp-
en's) evil genius, ever rose when he attempted to ad-
dress the Court. The Hon. Proprietor then proceeded
to substantiate the allegations of Mr. Sullivan with re-
gardto the incapacity, civil and military, of Sir Charles
„,
'aPier in Sinde.
The motion was ultimately, after some desultory dis-
enesion, withdrawn.
The Court, after the transaction of some formal busi-
ness, broke up.

CITY OF LONDON REGISTRA-
TION.-(THIS DAY.)
The 'Revising Barrister, Mr. Arnold, resumed this
g the examination of the householders' lists for
the parishes included within the wards of Aldgate and
'Bltopsgate.
The °verse ers of these parishes were not in attendance
1115 on the open;ng of the Court at half-past ten o'clock.
Mr. ARNOLD jrnmediately proceeded with the parishes
'ower down in the: list, and gave notice that in every case
Where the overseers neglected to attend he would refuse
to sign their certificates of expenses. The Learned
Gentleman also gave notice that he would audit the
'3ver,seers' accounts on the same days in which the lists of
their respective parishes were revised.
The particular cases determined during the morning
Were of n o marked importance.

NIARyLEBONE REGISTRATION.
(THIS DAY.)
This morning' the Revisinc, Barrister held his court
for the revision of the list of voters for the Paddington
district, and also for disposing of the objections which
remained over yestet :lay evening at the closing of the
‘'ourt at the vestry.ro,9m of St. Pancras parish.
POSTING OP NOTICES.— -TIIE PADDINGTON DISTRICT.
Previous to any of the; claims or objections being
taken, a gentleman named W.B.Perry, handed in a pro-
-44,8t against the Revising Barrister proceeding to
revise
the list of voters for the Paddington district, inasm
as no notice that I). C. Movlan, Esq., had been ap-
Po;nted to revise such list had boon posted, in accord
11C with the provisions of the Act, upon the church
doors in the parish. He had himse?f been objected to,
!.11(1 he• was most anxious to support his protest, because
it was tly the merest chance that he heard where and
before wil'om he was to meet this objection.
The RE vISING BARRISTER said he could take no notice
of the prot 9st lodged by Mr. Perry, neither should he
allow it to influence his disposal of the votes coming
'More him. In consequence of the returning officer
not having properly authorised any person to act for
hiLO in his abs ence, he (the Revising Barrister) would
not be able to give the lists when concluded in revision
to the proper pacty, until Mr. David Salomous should
'eosl an authority from Paris.
The. Paddington lists were then gone through.
