EAST INDIA COMPANY.

Yesterday morning a general Court of the com-
pany was held at the house in Leadenhall-street, to
receive the report of the committee of proprietors
appointed at the general Court of the 30th of.
August last, "for the purpose of consulting with
the directors in reference to the measures to be
taken for the future management of the company's
affairs," and for the discussion of the said reports
and on other general business. Colonel Sykes,
M.P. (the chairman), presided.
The minutes of previous meetings having been
read, it was announced that Colonel Sykes, M.P.,
had been elected chairman of the company.
(Cheers.)
Dr. BEATTIE inquired whether a deputy chair-
man had been appointed ?
The CHAIRMAN said that the election would be
reserved for the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN then announced that the capital
stock of the company would be payable on the 6th
of January next.
Mr. CRAWSHAY, the chairman of the committee,
read the report ofthe committee appointed in August
last, to take measures with reference to the future
management of the company's affairs. It contained
a recital of previous proceedings, and a correspond-
ence with Lord Stanley in reference to the subject.
In the last letter from his lordship it was stated that
his lordship was unable to decide upon the amount
to be paid annually to the East India Company, con-
sequent on the duties and responsibilities devolving
upon them, until he was aware of the arrange-
ments which the East India Company proposed to
make for the execution of the duties referred to.
His lordship therefore requested to be informed
whether it was the wish of the proprietors of East
India Stock that-the entire control and distribution
of the fund set apart for the payment of their divi-
dends should be committed to their directors or
whether the arrangements under which these divi-
dends have hitherto been issued from the house'
should be continued. The committee came to the
following resolutions :—With reference to the offer
of the Secretary of Stag for India in Council, ad-
dressed to the chairman of this committee, dated
Sept. 16, 1858, to make his establishment available
for the purpose of transfer and audit in the business
connected with the capital stock and dividends of
the East India Campany, this committee is pre-
pared to recommend to the Court of Proprietors
the acceptance of such an arrangement upon the fol-
lowing conditions : that in accordance with BS. 2,
3,4, Wm. 4, c. 85, there shall be paid to the com-
pa-Ay to their own use, that is to say, to the account
of the East India Company with the Bank of Eng-
land, the yearly dividend, after the rate of XlO. 10s.
per annum on the present amount of their capital
stock, and that such dividend be so paid by equal
half-yearly payments on or before the 6th of Jan.
and the 6th day of July in every year, and further
that together with the first half-yearly dividend so
paid, the amount of all unclaimed dividends up to
that day be paid to the above-mentioned amount
with the Bank of England. That all dividend
warrants be signed by two directors and the secre-
tary of the East India Company. That accom-
modation be provided in the East India House for
the directors and proprietors—namely, that the
proprietors' room remain devoted to its former use;
that at least one room be assigned to the directors
for their regular use. That a room be provided for
the secretary of the company. That the general
courts of the East India Company be held in the
East India House. That with reference to the
sections 69 and 72 of the late Act, 21 and 22 Vic.,
cap. 106, by the power of which the number of the
directors of the East India Company is for the pre-
sent to be maintained at 12, and finally to be re-
duced to six, provision be made by the Secretary
of State in Council for India for the payment of
salaries to such directors, and of a salary to the
secretary of the company, and also for defraying
other expenses incidental to the legal management
of the company's affairs not otherwise provided for
by this arrangement. That the Secretary of State
in Council and the East India Company respec-
tively be at liberty to terminate this arrangement
on giving six months' notice. That the above re-
solutions be sent by the chairman to the officiating
secretary of the Court of Directors, with a request
that they may be forwarded by them to the Secre-
tary of State in Council for India.
It was stated that since the report was prepared
another communication had been received from Lord
Stanley, and signed by Mr. Melville, containing
the following passage :—" I am instructed to in-
form you that, in proposing to leave the signing of
the warrants for the payment of the dividends on
East India Stock to the directors after the war-
rants had been prepared in the usual menner, it was
the intention of Lord Stan:ey to transfer to the cre-
dit of the East India Company, at the Bank
.of Eng-
land, half-yearly, the aggregate amount of the
dividends, viz. £315,000, it being understood that
the amount of any unclaimed dividends are to be
retransferrcd to the Secretary of State in Council
for India at the expiration of 12 months after they
become due."

Mr. CRAWSHAY then moved the reception of the
report. The East India Company had been con-
demned to live—the question was how were they
to live ? (Hear, hear.) It was, at all events, their
duty to watch carefully what rights they had left,
and carefully to maintain them. They had a right
to require from the Secretary of State in Council
the requisite amount of money for the management
of their stock and the payment of their dividends.
They had a right to the independent management
of their sto3k, their dividends being untouched.
They had, moreover, a right to have their affairs
managed in that house.
Capt. SHEA seconded the motion for the reception
of the report, which was unanimously adopted.
Mr. CRAWSHAY move a resolution claiming, on
the part of the company, the current and unclaimed
dividends.

Mr. ARBUTHNOT moved an amendment, that Lord
Stanley's offer, that the business should continue to
be transacted on the establishment, and to transfer
to the account of the company the gross amount of
all recurring dividends, leaving the responsibilities
attached to the unclaimed dividends to be attached
to the Government, should be accepted.
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE moved the adjournment
of the debate, a proposition which was fiercely
resisted by the directors.
On a division there were—

The motion for the adjournment was then de-
clared to be carried, and the meeting broke up in
disorder, it being understood, however, that the
discussion should be resumed at twelve o'clock
this day.
