YESTERDAY a General Courf held at the Eal/1
India House, to sandlot' the late' offzu'ofthe Court
of Directors of to,ooo tons of Shipping forlhe ser-
'vice of Government.
The business was d`pened:`inn most bripiant and
energetic appeal to the feelingi of the Proprietors,
by Mr. BOSANQG ET, the. Chairman, *hose admirable
Address- lately on the 'llOyal• Exelrange' has already
entitled him to the unlimited apptollation: of the
People of England. In the course of his speech he
,adverted to the SubscriPlion which,--had been made
to the Patriotic Fund at Lloyd's for,the-encOurageL.
nient and remuneration of aOs of brirvery amongst
our Soldiers and Sailors— The `present.•.Meerioz
was for the purpose of considering of the propriety
of voting a further Contribution to Government,
in aid of the War.
Mr. TWINING rose, and afte'r commenting upon
the patriotic spirit and laudable. zeal which at the
present moment seemed to pervade alt ranks of the
People of England, for the•public defence and
rity.of their Country,' eXpiessed his firm.confidence
in the liberality, the loyalty, and promptitude of
the East India Company to'evince their feelings of
patriotisth and zeal for the defence of, their King,
their Country, the Constitution, 'their Religion, and
everything dear to them as men.. He concluded by.
reading the Resolutioni which be proposed for the
adoption of the Court : . •
" That this Court beholds with the most heart.
Felt satisfaffion, the general and patriotic exertions
which are now making by. all descriptions of per,
sons to support the existence of the British Empire,
and to 'uphold the L;CW3, the Libertie3, and .tilc
Religion of the Land.
That this Court, feeling most 'forcibly that it
is both the duty and the interest of every part of
the Community, and particularly of this great Com.:
mercial Company, to encourage, and as far as it
may be able, to contribute towards those, exertions.
which alone can secure to this Company its exist-
ence, •and to the Country these pevuliar and in..
valuable blessings which it has long enjoyed; both
declare, that itsapproVes and confirms the steps.,
which have been recently taken by the Coon of
DireElors in aid of Governinent at. this iniporuint
crisis."

Mr. PETER MOORE coincided in the sentiments
expres4.eil. by the H ~n. Gentleinkin who introduced
those Resolutions, which he would''very chetritilly

sdcond.

Mr. R. Jecieeote most cordially enincided,in the
loyal and ,patriotic 'sentiments exprersed in those
Resolutions, and by the 'Hon. Gentleman who 'in.
eroduced them ; but still he hod some oleiervations
to make. relative to the necessity of preserving
ineiolete the Censtittrion Of the Company, as
laid down in their'own Bye.latvi :—" 'fla' no grant
of flmes, should be voted to Government, or to Any
other person, or purpose, out Of the ordinary course,
without. a notice of fourteen; days." He desirtl,.
however, to be distinctly understood,• that this ob-
servation was made purely with . a view to maim.
tain the constitution and Bye.laws of the
pany, and by no means to restrain or interrupt thee
loyal purpose of 'contributing liberally to the aid of,
Government, in support of a War for theolefence
of oar very existence ; and as . this object coeld
tie as effectually eittained by Mai
as by
violating those Bye-laws, the former mode wits surely.
preferable. There- was another point too; in his-
mind, materially worthy of consideration. It-was
the shape in which the Contribution ceuld be made:
for the public good, whether in Ships or in'M
It was undersioed that shipping had been already
proposed as the more preferable. He was at a losse
to know whether the suggestion to this -effect, had
come recommended from the West or the East end of
the town. lf from the former,' he u' sho la certainly
feeleinclined 'to pay it every due i tespeeL But if
merely from the latter, lie should-certainly have his
doubts as to the7stritt purity of the motives from
which it originated., For his own part, he thought
that a contribution in money would be preferable 19
one in shipping, as Government might dispose of it
to better advantage ; whereas by holding offers for
ibeemployment of shipping, a markk of competition
would be open between the Transport Beard' and the
Directors, and an opportunity would be given to the
Ship:Owners for exorbitance and extortion. He there.
fore wished the contribution to be in money, and that
Ole shipenwners, instead of wai ting to put large sums
of money into their pockets, by contracts made under
the pressing urgency of the present occasion, should
-be put upon their patriotism, like the coach and wig.-
goo owners, and other carriers. He did not mean
to propose they shoUld make so great a secrifice as-
to devote their ships without any payment, .but by,
tendering :them at a moderate price; they might, have
'an:opportunity of evincing their loyalty,. 'and mix.
ing patriotism with their profit's.
Mr. TWINING explained, that he had no wish to
violate the Bye.laws of the Company, by proposing
any final vote now. He had another Resolution in
his pocket, by which he meant to follow up the two
first, if they should 'be agreed to, for a grant of
10,000 •tuns of shipping. This was merely to desig.
nate the extent to which the Court should proceed
but thii he should reserve for a future meeting,
to be- summoned fer the purpose, and for evhich,
according to the liye.lawi, fouiteen days notice were
required. In the mean time, however, he thought
there need be no delay, as if this Court shOuld come
to, some Resolution as to the' extent to which they
would go, immediate communication might be made
to His IVlejesty's Ministers, upon the faith of the
Court, that such vote would be confirmed at their
next meeting.
Sir STEPHEN LUSH 1 NOTON thought that to tlelee
the Votefourteen days, would be 'to render itnuge.
tory, as the attack of the Enemy might be made, aid
the business be all over before then. He thought,
therefore, that as the emergency was ,an extraordi.
nary; one, so the Cotirt would be fully warranted in
travelling out of its Ordinary formalities ; and with
respell to the shape in which the -offer: should ,be
made, he understood that shipping was..the most
agreeable to GOveinment: They did not want, MO.
ney, and besides, supplies in that
.way was -the
_constitutional 'province of the Commons of, England
(who had amply dime their duty) to provide, and
not that of the India Company ; and he sincerely
regretted that the arguments of the Learned Gentle.

Mr. R. JACKSON spoke in siirsoft of hircartner

nally instittited-to.guard against 'the money of the
.ComPanybeinggranted a way by the power formerly.
assumed by. the Board of Dire tors, for-doucenrs,
pensions, and other purposes, without consulting the'
General: CoOrt of PrOprietors ; and the Directors
were often beset in their own parlours and drawing;
rums,' by the solicitations of claimants for such'
'grants. There was one particular instance, white
those DireCtors had voted...a gift to Government of
z,d00,0001. in the heat of their zeal, which the
moment -cool refleetion had resumed her seat, they
-repented. They consulted the opinions Of the.most
eminent Lawyers in London on the subjefl, who.
one and all declared the vote to be illegal,,and
that if the Direflors paid the sum to Government
,•
in consequence of that vote, they- would be respon.
bible in their own pockets to the Proprietors at
large; and in consequence, 'His Majesty's Minis.
ters declined accepting the sum. It was -to prevent
similar occurrences that he was so tenacious of ad.
tiering to the established form of proceeding, which
•ought not to.he departed from, without inevitable
;necessity. .In the present case, he thought that
knecessity did not exist.
Mr. IiENCHM/Oifu ly coincided witli the Learned
Gentleman who just sat down, in his idea that
money was a much more eligible rt'-de of contri.hOt.
ing in -aid of Givernment, than shipping, as Go-
vernment could dispose of it in the way which td-it
shohld seem mast et& tcious ;'aotl he could not 'refrain
from the strongest reprobation of the conduit of
many of the Ship.owners; who, answer to the ad. •
vertisement front the Diretors, proposed to take
the contrad for shipping, as their offers varied
• from is's. per ton, to sss: and thus some demanded
from iso t0.'300 per.cenr. above the rate 'which
other's thought reasonable.—Such a condutt, instead
- of- marking g zeal fur the safety' of their Coun-
try, and the, support 'of Government, marked a •
spirit of avarice the most extortionary and C. 114.:
graceful. -Though, he certainly thought a contri-
bution in m..ney much the most eligible, he did not ,
mean ~the paltry sum of 50,0031: which would be
about the cost of the tonnage of shipping.' He thought
that in proportion to the danger which menaced the
Country, and considering the amount of the proper...
-ty (above eight million:3), so,oool. was but paltry
rate of insurance to pay, not 'only for the immense-
property of the Cotripany,. but for its very exist.'
efice: It ought to L.. 3 Of '400,0001. He ilia not-like
it to go forth in such way to the World ; for, what
would the French, ho vilified and perverted every
thing, say -to this ? Why; that a Meeting of the
great East India CompanY , had been called for a
contributiOn to support the .and that they
had granted but so,ool. a sun which,.-however
considerable it might appear Opoo any ordin:iry.oc.:
casion, yet, when considered as thc means of
the War, appeared as nothing. The Government
could not be said to want , shipping, as above 300.
vessels taken from. the Enemy were now lying in
gritis.li I !arbour-4, and of this description were. InAny
of the very •vessels offered by the. proposals aunt the:
skir.owners.
Mr. R. THORNTON thought the sum of so,boot.;
.
stalicient for the present occasion, - anti that it must -
evince. to the Proprietors at large, that their -pro.
perty was under, the direnioo of men who were
tenacious of voting away their money
Ltviihly or unnecessarily: If after this vote more
should be thought necessary, the Court would have .
the, power to vote it ; *but he corn-elided, that the
principal want of Goveroment was not money nor
ships,' but men. -

Mr, BOSANQU ET (the Chairman), said' that lie
had a conletenceofthia subject with some Of hiS Ma.
jesty's Ministeys, and that their. declaration was,

Mr."JAcitsoN replied, that if the Hen. Gentle.
man had given this explanation at the,outset of the
busineis, he would have obviated ,the necessity cif
the debate Which occurred ; for
.whatev,er • was his

:the Waste Land of -the • Manor, "w"hich had •bten
enclosed by the. Defendant, without—any—right.

who, ,like a snail,. carried. his bowie upon.

and, like, an ancient.Scy titian, or modern Tartar,
he carried his wife, his family, . and even his man.

times he came near the Metropolis ; at whey times

he, enjoyed the sea breezes to allay the summer
14cat. At length, however, he seemed to have
taken a lasting, likeness to his present station—for,
Ate; having taken up his
.abode for some time on
ihe. Manor of Warrington, which adjoined Bed.
dington, he' moved ,to the, other side of the Corn.
!Tian within 'the Manor of fielldington„ and then
he took his wheels off his house, giving it a greater
degree of permanency. After it. had
,remamed a'
short time, he enclosed the ground around it, and
now he, insisted he had a right to retain possession,
ever against the Lord of the Manor.
Theoe. fads being proved, Mr. Gtl pw, for the
Defendant, admitted he could not answer the ease.
The Plaintiff; therefore, had a verdio with nowt-

ner by a' 14,inch cable at thc liow, and an B.ineh-
cable at the stern: that when the Al-90 was sold,
these bow and n

on board the Doris, and asked if Ginger would de.
liver Inns these lashings to carry to the Dock.yard.
Ginger knomiing• he belonged to. the Duck.yard,
sAid he would, if the Prisoner would give him a,
receipt for it. Le Crass then went away, and re.
turned in about ten minutes, with Dingle, in a.
docli-yard faunch. Dingle prevailed upon Ginger
to *deliver hnn the lashings without a receipt,

had landed near Chub's rope-walk, where he was
