been brought forward, and on which persons, in other
respects honourable men, have been giving their votes,
merely supposing that they were supporting their
Directors against troublesome attacks, and not for a
moment imagining that they were direct parties to
the grossest injustice, that they were refusing even a
hearing to one whose claims, if fairly attended to,
were absolutely irresistible. It is easy to vote in a
particular manner, but if those who were holding up
their hands against the motions of the most expe-
rienced, straightforward, and intelligent proprietors,
were fully informed, they might hesitate before they
adopted a course which rendered them to all intents
and purposes participators in the crimes that have
been committed.

It will be seen from what fell from Mr. SULLIVAN
that by an arrangement entered into with Captain
GRANT, the then Resident representing the British
Government, a certain sum, viz., 31'2,000 rupees,
equivalent to 31,2001. per annum, was set aside for
the private expenses of PERTAUB SINGH and his
family. This was kept in a separate treasury, under
a separate treasurer, and was entirely controlled
by the RAJA himself. The instructions of
Council, under which Captain GRANT in-
duced the RAJA to accede to this restriction on his
rights, stated that " the employment of this sum ought
to be left to his Highness, with no other check than
may be necessary to prevent his exceeding the amount
allowed him." Can there be any question that this
was private property, distinct as it possibly could be
from the public revenues of, the Raj ? It might be
a difficult question, under ordinary circumstances, to
decide whether, where no such distinction had been
made, the Sovereign for the time being would
not be entitled to all the surplus revenues
accumulated during his reign ; and the better
opinion appears to be, that in a despotic mo-
❑rchy, such as those existing in the East, be
would be so ; but here, where there was a regular
bargain, and a certain sum set aside for private ex-
penses, there could be no doubt that the party could
dispose of his savings as he pleased.
PERTAUB SINGH was economical. He probably
knew the character of the very honourable Board with
respect to its dealings with other native powers. He
therefore lived sparingly, relinquished many of the
expensive luxuries in which he might have indulged,
and accumulated during the twenty years he occupied

the throne of Sattara from 25 to 26 lacs of rupees, or
250,0001. to 260,000/. sterling. The precaution would
have been more wise: and prudent had any measure
of justice or equity been meted out. If sent into
exile, he would still have had a handsome fortune. If
he died, and that for the first time the sacred right
of adoption were disputed, his chosen child would be
preserved from the trials of poverty. Unfortunately,
however, a new code of ethics was about to be esta-
blished in reference to his particular case on which he
could not calculate.
When the RAJA. was deposed, unjustly and un-
warrantably deposed, his private property was
" take❑ care of " for him, but his right to it was re-
cognized. Sir J. CARNAC, the then Governor of
Bombay, when directing that the deposition should
be carried into effect, declared that PEztrAue SINGH
was to be regarded as " a subject of sympathy and
not of punishment," that "an allowance would be
made from the Sattara revenues for the support and
respectability of himself and those members of his
family who may choose to accompany him. Further
that all property belonging to him, BONA FIDE
private, and not appertaining to the state, would, on
his peaceable submission, not be interfered with."
This was a fair contract. The provisions were cumu-
lative. He was to receive "an allowance from the
Sattara revenues" for the support and respectability of
himself and family, and, further, his private property.
This completely disposes of the transparent hum-
bug that the annuity of 12,0001. a year (the allow-
ance above referred to), was in full of all demands,
and that in receiving it, he relinquished all claim to
the other part of his bargain.
The Chairman himself acknowledged the justice of
the case, and that ,he had formerly supported the
claim. Indeed he could scarcely deny it, after the
evidence under his own hand produced by Mr. SuL-
LIYAN ; but, good easy man, he would not re-open the
question, and he would see a minor, unable to protect
. his own interests, deeply wronged because a majority
of proprietors had on a former occasion voted on a
subject of which they were totally ignorant. This
can only be classed with his other argument, that the
RANEE, starved into submission, could dispose of the
rights of the infant RAJA. Both points are too ridi-
culous to demand serious answers.
The Court of Proprietors, however, according to
the usual custom, supported the Court of Directors.
The motion was rejected, although the Chair-
man acknowledged that the speech of the mover bad
made a great impression on the meeting. The English
people, who detest every species of injustice and
oppression, will, however, ponder on these things,
and not be quite so easily satisfied as the fortunate
Proprietors of East India Stock.

The saes o. Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
6,00) bales all to the trade. The market was steady.—Rail-
way Shares were flat.
The weekly return of the Bank of England, made up to the
15th inst., presents several changes that indicate a diminished
inquiry for money. The advances upon Securities were
smaller, and the withdrawal of private lodgments was not
extensive, considering that the transfer books are closed.
As to the notes out with the public, they were curtailed,
both on account of the repayment of loans and the addtion
to the balance standing to the credit of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and which in the ordinary course will steadily
increase as the quarter advances. The amount of the pre-
cious metals keeps very steady. Compared with the previous
week the following alterations have occurred:—

The negotiation of Bills of Exchange upon the principal
cries of the continent was again effected yesterday afternoon
upon somewhat lower terms, but mainly as regards Holland,
Belgium, and France. The Hamburgh rates were slightly
depressed. It is generally inferred that investments in
foreign shares are the main cause of this re-action; but this
granted, there can be no great harm provided the public dis-
criminate and purchase what is known to be valuable and
cheap. Some people affect much needless anxiety when a
little bullion is withdrawn from the Bank, forgetting that
its profitable employment is highly desirable, nay, indispen-
sable, if the national wealth is to be augmented.
On the motion of Mr. Divett a statement has been com-
piled of the cost of transmitting the mails and dispatches
between Bombay and Suez, &c , by the East India Com
pany during 1848 and 1849. We may arrange this in con
densed form thus :

Total ... £106,695 ... 118,265
Ai a mercantile speculation, if we were to go upon this
data, no private company could ever contract for the ser-
vice, especially as the bi-monthly communication from Aden
to Bombay involved a further outlay of 42,5391. We have
to bear in mind that 50,0001. is allowed by Government, and
the total net loss to the company, therefore, would be re-
duced to 11'',8041. It may be worth the company's while to
submit to the sacrifice, and no one but the proprietors or the
taxed inhabitants of the East would have reason to complain
if adequate accommodation were afforded to the public.
Such, however, is not the case. The servics is unsatis-
factorily performed, and there are private companies who, for
the like subsidy from Government, would undertake to do it
better, and make it pay into the bargain. The small amount
received from freight and passengers is the best possible coin-
menta y on the defectiveness of the arrangements.
The accounts from the textile manufacturing districts re-
preseE t business as being rather quiet, but there were symp-
toms of improvement on Thursday, and some demand arose
for the Eastern markets.
The quantity of bullion exported from London during the
week ending to-day has been 204,000 ounces of silver and
3,500 ounces of gold ; the former to Holland and Belgium,
and the latter to France.
The English Funds are still comparatively heavy, and
without much doing. Console 96% % for Transfer, and

525. to 555. premium. India Bonds realise 58e. to 625.

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the LORD CHANCELLOR, at Lincoln's Inn.)
CASE OF MISS TALBOT.
On the case of " Doyle v. Wright" being called on this
morning,
Mr. BOLT said he appeared for Miss Augusta Talbot, by
her next friend, Dr. Doyle, who was her legal guardian, and
who, it would be recollected, presented a petition to his
Lordship, under his Lordship's direction, as to the residence
of the young lady, during the London season. Now, last
evening, they were served with a copy of a petition, pur-
porting to be in the name of the young lady, by the Hon.
Mr. Craven Berkeley, as her next friend, but as they did
not at the same time receive copies of the affidavits, they
were not prepared to meet the statements and assertions con-
tained in them ; otherwise he should have been quite ready
to proceed with the case this morning.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he understood the object of
the two petitions to be precisely the same, viz , as to tee
arrangement to be made for the young lady's residence.
Therefore, in truth, there was nothing to contest which was
material to the young lady.
Mr. BOLT observed that there were matters alluded to in
the petition which materially affected the character of other
individuals; but he need hardly say that there was nothing
which either directly or indirectly affected the conduct of the
young lady. He was quite content to leave the circum-
stances to be elucidated by the young lady herself at an in-
terview with his Lordship, without having recourse to
affidavits.
The Loan CHANCELLOR said he saw the young lady in the
autumn of last year when on a visit to Lord Shrewsbury,
and she appeared an intelligent person, fully competent to
exercise her own judgment. He was surprised, after
what he heard, that she had gone to a convent. It had bean
stated that she had gone there with his (the Lord Chancel-
cellor's) consent, but there was no foundation whatever for
that statement. Mr. Berkeley had applied to him in his
private room at the House of Lords for a habeas corpus to
bring up the young lady, but he thought it only fair and
proper not to consent to an irregular proceeding of that kind,
and Mr. Berkeley then stated that he would present a peti-
tion to the House of Commons on the subject, which he left
him to do. The only object of parties on the present occasion
should be to promote the young lady's interest.
Mr. BOLT admitted that that should be the object.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had received a letter from
Miss Talbot, which he would hand down to Mr. Bolt.
Mr. BOLT observed that if the question was as to the
young lady's residence during the last year of her minority,
that would depend on anything which she might say her-
self ; but matters had been introduced into the affidavits
by persons who were comparative strangers; he therefore
thought the case should be allowed to stand over.
The Loan CHANCELLOR said he did not think it right
to leave the young lady in a convent, but some arrangement
ought to be made for her comfort during the remainder of
her minority. If a reference were made to the Master, he
would report to him (the Lord Chancellor) who was the most
proper person to have the care of her.
Mr. BOLT said his side were quite ready to proceed now
with his Lordship's direction, but it was only justice that
they should have an opportunity of answering the matter
contained in the affidavits of the other side.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was important that some
arrangement should be speedily „made for securing the
young lady's comfort during her minority.
Mr. BOLT repeated that his side was quite ready to take
his Lordship's direction with regard to that.
Mr. Woon could not agree with his Learned Friend that
the examination of the young lady would be sufficient to
meet all the circumstances of the case, because there were
facts sworn to with reference to an interview which took
place in the convent between the young lady and one of the
petitioners, as well as to certain admissions said to have been
made by the superior of the convent at that interview,
which it was important for the ends of justice should be
fully investigated. It was also important that the prayer of
Mr. Craven Berkeley that he might have free access to the
young lady should be supported by evidence.
Mr. BOLT said, of course, with regard to that prayer, his
Lordship would consult the young lady's own feelings in dis-
posing of that.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, there must be a reference
to the Master to prepare some scheme for securing the young
lady's comfort during the rest of her minority, and therefore
Mr. Bolt might take an order according to the prayer of his
client's petition.
Mr. BOLT suggested that, after this decision, the matter
had better stand over till Wednesday, and in the mean time
perhaps his Lordship would be pleased to consider whether
the discussion should take place in public or private. His
side had nothing to conceal and nothing to be afraid of. All
that they were anxious about was to secure the interest and
comfort of the young lady.
The LoRD CHANCELLOR observed, that of course all future
discussion would mainly have reference to the prayer of Mr.
Craven Berkeley's petition to be allowed access to the young
lady as her next friend.
Mr. BOLT hoped, under these circumstances, his client
would have an opportunity of replying to the allegations
contained in the petition.
The LoRD CHANCIMLOR said— Certainly. The petition
stated that the young lady was a postulant; but the peti-
tion of the young lady stated that she was not, nor did she
enter the convent with the view of becoming one.
Mr. Woos) reminded his Lordship that the abbess, or su-
perior of the convent, had admitted that the young lady was
a postulant.
The LORD CHANCELLOR was at a loss to see how that
could be, seeing the young lady had already expressed her
willingness to come to town and enter into society.
Mr. BOLT said that was perfectly true, and all that his
client wanted was, that arrangements should be immediately
made for her entering society in a suitable manner.
Mr. PARKER appeared for the Earl of Shrewsbury, and
informed the Court that there were statements in the affidavits
which his Lordship was anxious to have an opportunity of
contradict ng.
Mr. Woon hoped that his client's petition would be refer-
red to the Master with that of the other side.
Mr. BOLT objected to this.

RD NCELLOR—What do you propose?
Mr. BOLT—We will send for her as soon as possible.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Of course I should not wish her to
leave the convent without knowing where she is going. His
Lordship, after some further conversation, said it was not
advisable that the young lady should be involved in a civil
contest for the gratification of other persons. Already had
her name been made the subject of much public comment,
though she stood perfectly clear as regards any attack on her
own character.
Mr. WOOD—If the gentleman calling himself the Bishop
of Clifton had abstained from publishing any letters in the
newspapers, it would be extremely satisfactory. I cannot
believe that such an individual has any right to style himself
a Christian bishop.—(Laughter.)
The LORD Cstasseemant —I must say there is a great dis-
drepancy between that letter and the ono I received from the
young lady.
Mr. Woos—He states in his letter most distinctly that
she is not a postulant.
The LORI) CHANCELLOR—And the young lady saga she
never contemplated becoming anything of the kind. I think
it is very desirable that while this matter is pesiding news-
paper contests should be avoided.
Mr. horn—We have done everything to avoid it, but of
course we have no control over the gentlemen alluded to.
Si he LORI) CHANCELLOR—PubIic discussion in the news-
papers was not unnatural in the first instance, with the view
of calling attention to the case ; but it had better be now
avoided.
His Lonustur then handed to Mr. Bolt the letter of Miss
Talbot, observing that it was just such a one as he ahould
expect from a young lady in her peculiar situation.
Mr. WOOD—Will your Lordship allow me to see it?
The LoRD CHANCELLOR Certainly.
The further hearing of the case was then adjourned until
Thursday next.
