EAST INDIA HOUSE.

The Quarterly General Court of the Company was held at
the East India-house yesterday.
The chair was taken at twelve o'clock by J. Cotton, Esq.,
the Chairman of the Company.
The minutes of the last meeting having been read,
The CLERK proceeded to read the correspondence of the
Court of Directors with the Board of Control, in reference to
the pension of Captain Pattison, which was ended in the con-
firmation by the latter of the resolution of the Proprietors at
the last Quarterly meeting.

THE TEMPLE OF JUGGERNAUT.
The CHAMIAN said the first notice of motion was that of
Mr, Toynder on this subject. He was under the necessity
of again stating that the information which hid been called
for had' not yet been received. As soon as it was it would
be communicated to the Court, and he Would suggest that
until then -it could'be of no use to enter into the discussion. '
The following were the words of the motion :--
" That the dispatch of Lord Auckland, of the 17th Novara..
ber, 1838, by which his Lordship rejected the proposed plan
of the Bengal .Government, and recommended the annual
money payment of 6,0001. to the temple of Juggernaut Cto
which recommendation the Directors' assented by their dis-
patch of the 2d June, 1840) be considered by the Court of
Proprietors, on • a motion for abrogating such money pay-
Ment upon the ground of no original pledge or engagement
erroneously alleged byLord n Auckland I his
having ever been given for the same by, or on•behalf of , this
Mr. PoviDER then withdrew the motion for. the present,
deiospaelptcanh.y, as
on the condition, that it should remain on the paper until the
next meeting.

BUDDER ADAWLUT.
:lereinAsiusdtebaswrteildtuutt,
. Mr. LEWIS having given notice of his intention to call the
attention of the Proprietors to the subject of appeals from
thewith
eigt
regards
iionnbiodfiaa'less expensive, and as
to the Privy Council,
in the Native Courts, of a more
efficient court of ultimate appeal, .
The CHAIRMAN said that on the last occasion he had
satisfied the Hon. Proprietor by giving him an assurance
that, the subject was under the consideration of the Court of
Courtsr
dtllse t eolfav wStuoid administered
Directors. He begged now to state that the matter was
occupying the serious attention of the Board of Control, who
were in communication with the highest law officers of the.
Crown, with a view to aity change which might take place.
Mr. Llnvis said that as a Bill was shortly to be introduced
into Parliament, it•would not be proper in him to bring on
the discussion for the present. He wished it to be finder-
stood, however, that his motion referred to the establishment
of an ultimate Court of Appeal in India, which would obviate
the necessity, and save the expense, of an application to the
Privy Council.
• After a short conversation, the motion was withdrawn.
SUSDE.

Mr. SULLIVAN rose to propose the following resolution :--
"That there be laid before the Court of Proprietors
Copies of all Minutes of Proceedings of the Court of Direc-
tors, together with all opinions that may have been recorded
by individual Directors on the affairs of Sinde." The Hon.
.Proprietor said it would not be necessary for him to say anir.
thing in support of this motion. It was so reasonable in
itself that he did not anticipate any objection. He wished
to be seen how the annexation gf Sinde had.been effected;
and the papers were necessary to enable them to
determine whether they should leave. Sindian affairs
en-
tirely in the hands of the ExecutiVe, or take any step
themselves. He was--particularly anxious. that the public,
should know, through that Court, how the Directors had
dealt with thii question. At present they were
under the impression that they had acquiesced in
the course pursued by the Government ; and this
impression was strengthened by the fact that in the debate in
the House of Commons on the motion of Lord Ashley, those
Members who were connected with the Company, and who
usually expressed their views on the questions connected
with India, had taken no part whatever in the discussion
(Hear, hear)—as well as by the fact that, when the
motion of thanks to Sir Charles Napier was discussed in
the Court, though'it was quite clear that the Directors were
not unanimous in their opinion, only, one vote was given
against the motion. From the manner in -which the Di-
rectors had dealt with the affairs of Sinde, the public Would
judge how they were likely to deal-with the affair of Gwalior.
The published vote of the Court of Directors would have
irresistible weight, and he hoped, therefore, that his motion
would not be rejected.
The motion having been seconded,
The CUAIRHAN said he could not accede to tke Honourable
Proprietor's proposition ; believing, as he did, that after the
discussion which • had taken place, the papers were unneces-
sary, and that the granting of them could du no good. He
had stated at 'the last meeting, that the subject was under
the consideration of the Directors, and this being still the
position in which the question was placed, he thought the
motion was altogether premature.
Mr. Ftxuwa opposed the motion, and said there was no
precedent for it.
Mr. WIcEDING also opposed the motion.
Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE supported the motion, and re-
fei red to the case of the Raja of Sattara as affording a pre-
cedent.
After a desultory dismission tie motion was postponed.
• HILL cams.
Mr. Segeant GAzELEE inquirk of the Chairman whether
there would be any objection to lay before the Court of Pro-
prietors any information which had been received by the Di-
rectors in reference to the Hill Coolies?
The CRAIILMAN said that any Pipers which were laid before
Parliament, would, of course, be given to the Proprietors.;

CALCUTTA.
. The Clerk read a petition from the inhabitants of Calcutta,
• praying for an extension of civil offices to the native popula-
tion. The petition has already been published.
GWALIOIt •
Mr. SuLuvA.N wished to know whether the information
with regard to Gwalior would include the orders issued by
Lord Cornwallis and Lord Hastings. '
