CARNATIC STOCK.

The Earl of ABERDEEN rose to present a petition
against some provisions of a Bill before their Lordships for
the regulations of Indian affairs, which had been put into
his hands by a very respectable body of persons being
holders of Cirnatic Stock. They complained that by the
measure in question the security which they bad hitherto
hid by law would be diminished, and the public faith of
an Act of Parliament would be violi'ed. By the measure,

it was proposed that an annuity of 630,000/. per annum
should be secured to the holders of India Stock in prefe-
rence to all other claimants , and the guarantee fund of two
millions was to be provided in a manner wholly at variance
with the terms of the Act of Parliament protecting the
interests of the petitioners. The Noble Earl, having stated
the contents of the petition, and moved that it do lie on
the table, should afterwards move that counsel be heard at
the bar in support of the claims of the parties.
Lord AUCKLAND suggested that the matter should
be postponed until the Government had an opportunity of
consulting the Law Officers, to see what was best to be
done to prevent injury to those or any other claimants.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said it was impossible
that it should be the intention of the Government to
make the claim or the securiry of these gentlemen, or of
any other parties, worse, than it had been left by the law.
But, whatever might have been their intention, the effect
of the Bill as it stood was, that the claims were made
worse, and much worse. Those claims were provided for
by Act of Parliament, and the provisions of the Act were
directly violated by the clauses of the Bill relating to the
debt of the Company.
After a few words from Lnrd AUCKLAND, the Earl of
ABERDEEN, and the Marquis of LANsnowNE, the petition
was laid upon the table, and the motion for the bearing of
counsel postponed.
EAST INDIA BILL.

Upon the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE,
the Flouse went into Committee upon the above Bill.
The several clauses from the 48th to the 52d were,
after some verbal amendments had been made in them,
agreed to.
Clauses 53 and 54 were omitted, and two others in-
serted in their place, appointing Governors and Council
for each of the Presidencies of Fort St. William in Bengal,
Fort St. George, and Bombay or Agra, instead of leaving
those appointments to the discretion of the Board of Di-
rectors, as in the clauses struck out.

Clause 55 was agreed to.
On the 56th clause being put,
The Duke of WELLINGTON perfectly agreed that
the Governors and Councils of the Presidencies should not
have the power of creating expense, but he at the same
time thought that extraordinary occasions might occur
where they ought to have the power of granting money
r the public service.
The LORD CHANCELLOR replied that provision for
such emergencies were made iu the clauses of the Bill.
The clause was agreed to, as were the remaining clauses
from the 57th to the 114th.
The preamble was also agreed to.
The House resumed, and the report was ordered to be
received to-morrow.
Mr. STANLEY, Mr. RICE, and others from the Com-
mons, brought up the West India Abolition Slavery Bill.—
Read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on
Monday.—Adjourned.
