After the review of the Royal Artillery and Marines
at `Woolwich, his Majesty intimated to Colonel M'Cleverty,
the veteran Commandant of the Royal Marines, that he had
given directions that his son (who was dismissed from the
Castor in consequence of that ship corning in contact with a
revenue vessel at the time Lieut. M' Cleverty was officer of the
watch) should be restored to his rank. Her Majesty, in a very
kind and affable manner, congratulated the Colonel upon the
event, as did also the Noble and Gallant officers present.

We regret to state that the " Defiance" London
and Manchester coach, was upset on Friday morning, by which
event Mr. Holbroak, a gentleman residing near Sandbach, has
lost his life, and several other individuals were also seriously
injured. The coach had just changed horses at the town of
Brailsford, between Ashbourne and Derby, when the horses,
very spirited ones, took fright at a white gate at the road side,
and the leaders suddenly swerving to the opposite side of the
road, threw the coach off its perpendicular, and it upset.—

A Special General Court of the Proprietors of East India
Stock was held this morning, for the purpose of confirming
the proceedings of the last Court, altering and repealing the
b‘e-laws of the Company, and also for the purpose of con-
sidering the amendments proposed to be made in the bye-laws
by certain proprietors.
W. S. CLARKE, Esq., the Chairman, accompanied by most
of the Directors, entered the Court at twelve o'clock. The
Minutes of the last Court were then read and confirmed, and
the Court informed that at the ballot yesterday it was decided
that the papers relative to the appointment, and subsequent
annulment of the appointment, had been carried by a majority
of 287 to 56.

Before proceeding to the regular business of the day,
Mr. POYNDER wished to know whether the Directors had re-
ceived any notice of a Suttee which was reported in the Bom-
bay papers ?
After a discussion, it was decided that as the Court was
special, no question should be asked until the special business
was disposed of.
Mr. WEEDING moved the first amendment, which, if carried,
would cause the annual balance sheet to be a detail of the
proceedings of the Company, and to be laid before the pro-
prietors.
Mr. TWINING said the By Law Committee were of opinion
that such a thing was unnecessary, as the papers which were
renderod necessary to be laid before the Parliament contained
all that was necessary or expedient for the proprietors. He
requested that the list of such papers be read.
The Clerk having read over the list,
Mr. WEEDoN was aware that these papers must contain a
great deal of information. Even the Government, or the
House of Commons, would not be contented without an an-
nual balance sheet. _ _ _

The CHAIRAIAN said the by-law required that a balance sheet
should be made out.

• Mr. WEEDON did not wish to see a mere balance sheet, but
a full one, showing the manner in which the accounts are kept.
Mr. WIGRAM (a Director) hoped the Court would pass the
by-law as it stood. It was impossible to keep up the books,
so as to make out such a balance sheet as that wanted by the
Hon. Proprietor—that must, at all times, be left to the execu-
tive officers of the Cgurt.

Sir C. FORBES thought there ought to be no difficulty in
laying a proper balance-sheet before the Court. He thought
it might be much curtailed by putting small outstanding ac-
counts in one line.

Mr. TUCKER said the accounts of the Company were kept
as well and regularly as those of any firm in London. There
was no disposition to keep any useful information from the
Proprietors; but still the details of the account could not be
made out without very great difficulty, expense, and incorrect-
ness, because there were many accounts in transitu when the
accounts were made up.

The question was than put and negatived unanimously, with
the exception of Mr. Weeding.
Mr. WEEDING moved an addition to another by-law, which
would require the Court of Directors to lay before the General
Court any Acts of the Government with respect to India, which
theymight think to be inconsistent with the good government of
that country. He thought, if such were the rule, in place of
its being only the privilege of a Proprietor to move for such do-
cuments, it would save much angry discussion, as had been
shown in a late case.
Mr. WIGRAM did not think the amendment would be bene-
ficial, as in his opinion it would be very detrimental to the in-
terests of the Company, if the Directors were obliged to lay'
before the Proprietors those questions which were in dispute
between the Directors and the Board of Control.
Mr. TWINING took the same view of the matter.
Sir C. FORBES rose, and was left speaking.
