EAST INDIA HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.

A quarterly general meeting of the proprietors of India
Stock was held this morning.
J. G. HAVENSHA WS, Esq., in the Chair.
_ _ _

The minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed,
A list ofthe superannuations granted during the last year was
laid before the Court. Also, an account of the expenditure
for the regiment of East India Volunteers and other papers.
The CHAIRMAN said the Court of Directors had come to
a resolution to recommend to the Court of Proprietors that a
dividend of 51,4 per cent. upon the capital stock of the Com-
pany should be declared for the halfyear, from the sth July
last to the sth of January next. He was proceeding to put the
motion accordingly, when

Mr. GOLDSMITH said he trusted that the great stake
which he held in the Company would be considered a sufficient
excuse for him in asking the Chairman what steps, if any, had
been taken, in order to obtain a renewal of the Company's
Charter. They had heard much lately of the monopoly enjoyed
by the Company, but the proprietors did not participate in any
of the benefits of it, for they did not receive more than com-
mon interest for their money. They ran a very great risk, and
he believed they would be very little sympathized with by the
public, though they lost the whole of their posessions in India.
The CHAIRMAN said the question was a very natural
one, but it was one upon which he could give no information.
He hoped the Court of Proprietors would rely on the Court of
Directors making every exertion in their power when the ques-
tion was mooted.

The dividend was then agreed to, and the Court adjourned,
