EAST INDIA HOUSE, JANUARY 17, 1844.

THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the EAST
INDIA COMPANY do hereby give notice,
flat a SPECIAL GENERAL' COURT of the said
CO PAN Y will he held at their Howe, in Leadenhail-street,
on FRIDAY, the 2tith instant, at Eleven o'clock in the forenoon,
at the desire of Nine Proprietors of East India Stock, in com-
pliance with the following Requis tion, viz. :
" To the Hon. the CHAIRMAN of the COURT of DI-
REC MRS of the EAST INDIA COMPANY.
" HONOURABLE . _

" We, the undersigned Proprietors of East India Stock, re•
quest that a special General Court may be convened at the
earliest period, to take into consideration the following resolu-
tions proposed to be submitted to them.
" Ist. That. from the printed papers recently-laid before the
Proprietors on the subject of Sinde, it is the opinion of this
Court that the proceedings of the Government of India, which
ended in the dethronement, exile, and imprisonment of the
Ameers, and the seizure of their country and private property,
were uncalled for, impolitic, and unjust.
" 2d. That this Court does therefore most -earnestly recom-
mend to the Court of Directors the immediate adoption of such
steps, by representation to her Majesty's Government or other-
wise, as may cause all practicable reparation to be made for the
injustice already committed, and enforce the abandonment of
a line of policy inconsistent with good faith, and subversive of
the interests of the British rule in India.
" We have the honour to be,
" Honourable Sir,
" Your obedient Servants,
"J. SULLIVAN. _
" WM. J. EASTWICK.

" CHARLES FORI3ES.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
JHAVE the honour to tender you my grateful
thanks for having placed me in the Direction of the East
India Company.
Deeply impressed with the importance and responsibility of
the office, it shall be my constant endeavour faithfully to dis-
charge the duties of it ; studying to promote the true interests
Of the British empire, by advocating such measures as are best
calculated -to secure the peace, prosperity, and happiness, of
the people whose country is committeal to our charge.

Wimbledon-common, Jan. 24, 1844.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, •
illl7 motives for not proceeding to the ballot 'at
the election of this day have been already made known
to you, and Major Oliphant was without opposition duly elected
to fill•the existing vaeanpy in the Court of Directors.
' I now beg most earnestly to solicit your votes and interest
for the next vacancy. which may take place, and I seize this op-
portunity very gratefully to acknowledge the kind assistance of
my numerous friends, fully relying on their adherence to my
cauie at the -next election.
I have_ the gratification to state that the augmented support 'I
have already received by the spontaneous assurance of numerous
Proprietors, now released from' their engagements, with 'the ac-
cession of many influential parties vrifrnilyinterestedin my suc-
cess, inspire a perfect conviction that the attainment of my am-
bition arid anxious 'solicitude for 'many'years, will only be de
ferred until the occurrence of another vacancy. '
I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your very faithful servant,
JOHN CLARNIONT WHITEMAN.
24 a, Bryanston-square, Jan. 24, 1844.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES ANO GENTLEMEN,
90 HE election of Major Oliphant to a seat in the
-IL direction of your affairs having released from their en-
gagements a large and influential body of independent Pro-
prietors who have'promised me their support, I have the honour
:to repeat my determination to proceed to the ballot en the next
vacancy.
The constitution of the East India Company being no
longer commercial, but political, the great object of the Go-
vernment of India ought to be the moral and physical advance-
ment of our Indian fellow-subjects. An intimate acquaintance
with their languages, manners, and customs. and a practical
knowledge of India, are, consequently, the most essential qua-
lifications for those aspiring to a share in the administration of
our vast Eastern empire.
Under these circumstances, having filled various responsible
situations in India during a period of fifteen years, I respectfully
offer myself as a candidate for your suffrages on the first va-
cancy. Assuring you that, having no ether pursuit, should I
be succesatul, I will devote myself exclusively to the di4charge
of the important duties entrusted to me, and to the promotion
of the best interests of the people of India.
I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen,
With great respect,
Your faithful and obedient servant,
\V. J. EAST WICK.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, •
ADVERTING to my circular of the 25th April,
1843, to which was annexed a memorandum of offices
held by me in your Bengal Civil Service, during a period of 27
years, I beg to intimate that my canvass proceeds most encou-
ragingly, and the election of Major Oliphant to a seat in the
direction of your affairs having removed one candidate from the
field, and released from their engagements many who have pro-
mised me their support, I trust, by the kind aid of my friends,
to be enabled on an early occasion to proceed to the ballot with
every prospect of success.
I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obedent servant,
WILLIAM DENT.
No. 11, King's Arms-yard, Jan. 25,1844.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
A DYE RTING to my letter of July 1841, I do
myself the honour to acquaint you that the Election of
Mayor Oliphant having released a large portion of the Pro-
prietoi s from their engagements, it is my intention, influenced
by the encouragement I have already received, to proceed to the
Ballot after the next vacancy.
I trust that my long service, embracing a period of Thirty-
five years, in responsiule political employment, as well as in the
Military Department, under the Government of India, will
obtain from your enlightened judgment a favourable considera-
tion.

I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen,

about to bring before the Chamber as a sort of pilot
balloon, a bill for the Northern Railroad, and another
on the Vierzon line. It is to be an adjudication on
certain conditions, several companies having applied
for those two lines. Should the Chamber not agree
to his proposition, the Minister intends proposing that
those lines should be executed by the State.
On the 20th inst., a fire took place at a manufac-

WAGES AND CORN-LAWS.
TITA GE S.—Observations on the Connexion between. Corn-
Law Repeal and 'the Price of Labour; math a Reply
to some _Remarks contained in a Pamphlet signed
" Britannicus." By Edward John Evans. Clarke.
London, 1844.
The object of these " observations" cannot be bet-
ter stated, perhaps, than in the "Prefatory Remarks"
which precede the text. .We subjoin an extract, of
which, in discussing the important topics. it alludes
to, we scarcely think the worse, because of the de-
fects of composition that may be detected in it :

" The question of free trade has now become one of
the principal topics of' the day, and the object of the
monopolist party being to bring forward specious argu-
ments attempting .to refute the statements 'of the free
traders, and as many of their pamphlets may get into
the hands of poisons whose minds are still shackled
with many prejudices upon this subject, this device
would thereby so far. succeed as to cause individuals to
waver in their decision, when the necessity of a right
knowledge is of the first importance. This circumstance
suggested the necessity of establishing the Metropolitan
Free Trade Discussion Society,' where all questions of
doubt and perplexity can be brought forward, and their
various merits freely canvassed ; and I trust by these
means we shall be enabled to fix the minds of many
upon a firm basis, with regard to the great and important
principle of free trade."

The Augsburg Gazette, of the 19th states 'from'
Goritz that the physicians of the Duke d'Angoulhne
have declared their patient to be suffering from a'
disease in the, intestines with cancer, 'but that if he
should live until the spring he may-hope for a per-
manent recovery from sea-bathing.
We learn from the Berlin journals of the 18th that
the Queen of Prussia is suffering from illness. The
following bulletin was published on the 17th :—" The
Queen has passed an agitated night. Her cough' was
frequent; but the progreu of 'the malady is, regular,
and inspires no, anxiety."
, ,

We heartily concur with Mr. Evans in his sug-
gestion for the general ame!ioration of the farmer's
position, as an expedient preliminary, if we do not
mistake him, to the permanent *establishment of 'a
system of free trade,, including the abolition of the,
existing corn-laws., "I may be.allowed observe):

LAW ATOM POLICE. ln the Court of -Bankruptcy another .examination
of J.-Bedford, who had carried on business as •aii
iroii-
monger in the Westrninster-road took place.jt appeared
from his balance-sheet,-,that during the-time of his
trading (a period of only about 36 weeks) he had in-
curred debts to the amount of 2,3691., and that the
property given up 'to the assignee valued at 1,2621.
His expences were put down at 1,215/., while the
profits of his business amounted to only 316/. 2s. 4d.,
and 2941. from his wife's jointure. Commissioner
Evans, after examining two witnesses said, I shall
adjourn this case sine die, and when the bankrupt can
furnish reasonable accounts he may come up again.
James Gomm and Harris Gomm, his son, appeared
again before the Insolvent Court. They were builders,
and it was stated that they had given a mortgage to
one particular creditor, a relation, when they owed
their present debts, and when failure was inevitable.
The question was, whether the insolvents had been
actuated by fraud in the disposition of their property,
which property had been created by the debts they
owed. The Court deferred judgment.
At Marylehone, Henry North, the boy who was
brought up on Tuesday upon the charge of having
stabbed another boy, named Robins, in the breast
with a pen-knife, was fully committed for trial.
At Clerkenwell Joseph Tuohy, a middle-aged re-
spectable-looking man, was charged by his employer,
Mr. Henry Bedford, solicitor, of No. 20, Calthorpe-
street, Gray's Inn-road, and of Gray's Inn-square,
with having embezzled two cheques for 83/. and
9/. 9s. 2d., respectively. Mr. Combo told the pri-
soner he stood fully committed for trial on the charge
of embezzling the cheque for 9/. 9s. 2d., but that he
should remand him on the charge founded on the 83/.
cheque, for the attendance of Mr. Torriano, the bar-
rister.

" The effect of the corn-laws upon the farm labourer
may be stated in few words : they raise the price of the
commodity he has to buy, and lacer the price of the commo-
dity he has to sell."

If the commodity to be sold be labour, this is ne-
cessarily true; but not so if the commodity be live
stock, for example, which it does not necessarily fol-
low that a farm labourer cannot possess. The chief
averments in the pamphlet of "Britannicus" are well
answered by the chronological statistics adduced by
Mr. Evans, ranging from the. years 1816 to 1843.
Some extracts from our contemporary, the Economist,
from Ricardo, from Senior, and other economical au-
thorities, are judiciously brought in aid of the general
argument raised by Mr. Evans, that a lowered price
and increased quantity of corn would inevitably tend
to raise and maintain wages, and enlarge the opera-

LITERATURE.
THE ALBANIAN. Strange, London, 1844.
There is much vigour and animation in this poem,
which is founded, it seem? on a romantic incident that
occurred—or is supported to have occurred—during
the late hard-feught War of Independence in Greece.
The poem opens with a graphic sketch of the scenery
in the immediate neighbourhood of Corinth, and then
proceeds to describe the appearance in the bay of a
small Greek brig which is hotly pursued by a Turkish
vessel of war. The account of the pursuit, and the
subsequent conflict between the two ships, is given with
considerable ability. But indeed the poem throughout
deserves praise for its striking and appropriate
imagery, and the ease and melody of its versification.
The author is a gentleman named Charles James Col-
lins, and we trust this is not the last poem we shall
have from his pen. We quote a passage -or two :
The creaking masts bend 'neath the heavy strain,—
The spray flies o'er the deck as thick as rain ;
The Turk appears within a musket shot,
Of that most swift but doomed Ipsariote.
The Reis with horror views the flashes bright,
And coward like proclaims he dares not fight ;
Howls to the wind. as on the deck he stands, _
And prays the virgin with uplifted hands.
Kalsandi listens to the coward's cries,
One moment pauses—feasts his rage filled eyes ;
Then bounding grasps the traitor by the neck.
And hurls him powerless from the vessel's deck
Into the swelling billows of the bay,
While stand the crew in horrified dismay.
The Chieftain calls upon his men to fly
Each to his post, and meet the Turk or die.
He thunders forth his mandates, but in vain,
The fear-struck crew but fall to prayer again,
Close round the Virgin's image congregate,
And loudly pray her to avert their fate.
Kalsandi as he paces o'er the deck,
Views in his mind, his cherished treasures' wreck ;
Heaps curse on curse, upon the coward _Reis,
Who lured him first to this doomed enterprise.
Alternate feelings now his bosom tear,
Rage, fear, hatred, hope, but not despair.
His treasures knock against his heart.---'tis woe,
Indeed, to yield them to a Turkish foe.
Each shot that whistles through the echoing air,
Adds to the keeenness of the crew's despair;
One form alone enjoys the stirring scene,
And he had scarcely twenty summers seen ;
He seems to glory in a scene so new,
And laughs to scorn the terrors of the crew.

MEPRAM, THE INNOCENT CONVICT.—This young
man, who, it will be remembered, Was transported about
two years since for an alleged attack on Mr. Killick, of
Weavering-street, but whose innocence has been proved,
and a free pardon having been dispatched for him, ar-
rived in Maidstone, in good health, on Monday last, to
the great joy .of his friends. He, was sent to Hobart
Town, and from thence about sixty miles into the bush,
to a place called the Cascades, clearing land, with other
convicts, where his work continued from half-past five
in the morning till six at night in the summer, with half
an hotir for breakfast and an hour for dinner. He re-
mained at this work for about twelve months. The first
intimation which he received-of his pardon having been
granted, was by-a paragraph, which Mr. Carr, a super-
intendent of_conviets,. inclosed to him in a letter, and
which had been cut out from some English newspaper.
He did not receive the official letter till a considerable
time afterwards, namely, on the 2d of August., within a
week of which date the authorities had provided a free
passage home for him in the Eudora, which reached Eng-
land on Monday last. A considerable sum has been sub-
scribed for him, with which it is intended to set him up
n some small way of basiness.—Maidstone Gazette. ••
THE GADDESBY MBE DEB.—THIRD DAY'S Ex A
MINATION.—The prisoner Mmenger, re-apprehended on sus-
piciou of the murder of James Garner, was again brought up
this day before the county magistrates, when Mrs. Hodges un-
derwent a long and very searching examination, but her testi-
mony given last week was not shaken in the least. The pri-
soner was again remanded until Saturday. Leicestershire
Meicury of Wednesday.
ElNGListr AND Imsn :tW.—The Irish Chief Jus-
tice holds it is not necessary that a reporter should prove the
whole of a speech, a portion thereof is sufficient. The English
Judges have held a reverse doctrine ' • the
