" The President of the Board of Agriculture, and prospe-

Sir JOHN SINCLAIR rose, and after thanking the
Noble Host and the company, said he could con-
gratulate them and: the c wntry, that the County

.the -Board. had been so long em-
ployed, are nearly completed, and on the prospect of
their being able soon to...jolter un thetGeneral Re-
port, which should 2cottit4aut together the. practices
of the different counties, and draw practical infe-
reaces and canclusions from. the whole. Sir John
Concluded by giving as a toast, " The House of
RUssell; and may Agriculture and that House long
flourish' nether." His Grace, in returning thanks,
assured'the company, that he should. always exert
his best energies for the interests of agriculture and
his country. The toasts proc,eded :
" An improved system of agriculture."—" Mr. Coke,
and pruslieray to the Holkhain sheep-shearing."

Air. COKE returned thanks, and said,: that if the
sentimeot just expressed' by the• Noble Duke and
the comp:my should induce Gentlemen to tavour
him with their company, and view the system
pursued on the Hulkhatn farm, he should be addi-
tionally .hippy7—a fine fleece on a good carcase.

..1.1)i.5.d.,v Ge Spvcsi court of the Pro-
.
prietols ut Itldis Stuck was hz..ld at the India-
Hot:se.

The CHAIRMAN I..ciated a di, idend of five .and a
half per cent oil the k of 'pie Company,
from ti,:e sth of J‘oittacy iagt to the b.th July next,
wilco was agreed to.

Agreeably to one of the Company's bye laws, the
titles of the different papers, c,!ntrec-,ted with the
Compan,y's arfaitS, .lately laid before the two. Houses
of Parlirment, wrfe tea .1 ; among others, the
&if-1...1ent comparative stat,ments of -,the annual
charge and annual reyentte.ol tile Company, in the
dlfferent Presidencies for the thi:ee. years, 1805-6,
1806.7, and 1807-8, and EquilatLts tot the year
1808.9.. .`

M. RA NDLE JACKSON asked, if the whole'Papers
laid before PaLliament were now on the table of fiat
Court ?

• The CHAIRMAN s!ated, that all ►he Papers laid
before the House of Cointooki4 had been produced
to the Court. There %sere other Plii:rs hubrni:ted
to the Set•et Committee of the Hal,e ot Cothmous,
the tales of which it lid:tout been tliutilit. necesuiry
now to rea,l tothe Court. - •

KE BLB said, it was Hs intention to have
moved than the Accoun! s rel.): ive to .the state ot the
Company's atfiirs •st,ould, hive been referred to a
Committee o'f the Dire,: morn; or of the. Proi;rielm s,
for the purpose of prepxing rnin aecurate'arid.com-
plete staiemynt at the same, bilt as he, under Stood
trona the titles. of the' Vipers r,ad, that 'the••e ac-
counts were pri:pared by die Compaby itself, and
not by the Commi tee (if the House of Cowwons,
he did not thiuk it necessary to follow up his in-
tention.

Mr. RANDLE JACKSOv said, he had not asked if
all the trios, but it all, the paper* were on the table,
.so that their coutents,could be accelsible to the

pnetors.
._ _

Mr. GRANT sail, all the papers which hal beet)
laid before the Hops e of C __ominous, in consequence
of an Order front the Speakeir, .we before "the
Court. Those which had b,:en proC4std without
any order:were not now„Ortidtleed, burthey might
be added if the. Court requited them.
Mr. Rocfc be4ged to.ask, if •Str Geore ,13arlow
had received iostrodiens from the Governrm:nt at
home for his'late'conduCt, in which case it must tie
understood that the :responsibility did not attach to
him ; or it he atiled ou his own authority ?
. The, C'UAItIMP.N bought t!te•question irregul3r,
as the business could not now be discussed. In jus-
tice to Sir George Barlow, lioever, he inu,t, say,
thatlhis.conduct had been the_ result of in,trodipos
front the Supreme Ciowroutent iii India, and Iron)
this country.

Mr. RANDM JACKSON. thanked the Honourable
Chair Man for the candour of his communication (Al
so delicate a subject. He begged to lake this
tunny of -reConstnending to Gentlemen, betiore the
next Session Of Kirliatnent, to make :it their busi-
ness,' as far as was possible, to unuerstand tnelsitn,
ation, of their own affairs. This -w‘ould afford' .tue
best answer which. could be given to the chart es'
vhich. he-Could already anticipate would 'be wide,
against them. Ther:e was a sy.irii prevelling to de
cry Corporate Bodws, and to treat • their
.prop rty
with less ceremony than the .'property of private
persons. EL: was sorry to observe, that tin, spirit,
was encouraged ,even by .thoiti-Gentlemen tt ho 'had
been used to argue most loudly in tavoUr ut liberty
and. property. It was qtriteCummon now, however,
to talk of the rights of that Company with equal in-
difference as Geotlemen would do of - the .wt;Ailier,
any other casual circurns!ance. Before Gentle-
men talked so irreverently, :he wished. they would
acquaint themselves. whence any teinporarrot inter-
mediate wants 'of the Company arose ? • It their ex-
haustion trail not proceeded from an over-ardent zeal
serge the country ? He begged that the .Court
*of area-tuts, and also the Proprietors, would apply
their minds to this satijeat, and by acqutiming
themselves thoroughly with the state of the -Corn-
pany:s.affitirs, they would cagily be enabled to Shew
as between themselvesund-the. pUblic, it any 'thing.
arose at present to ei LI bar rass the affairs of the Com-
pany.; it originated in their exertions tor the-public,.
and was to bl.attribuied solely to the public ac
count. A stfauge and strong antipathy had 'hi O).
seized certain public chaiacters against the monied
interest, whether annuitants or dealers—hot this
was Iprincipally dirett,d.against. two Corporate Bo-
dies, of whom the Company was one. He knew
how soon such a-feeling took possession of the pun-
lie mind—he way a.ixtous,, nowever, thar he and
his felluW Proprietors should be informed -as far as
It was-possible to be, on the state of the Company's
affairs. The People -of England were radical'y
right, atid would not -willingty lend thernselves to
injustice. Let the Proprietors .but understand their
own affairs,- and with that sot cies ut armour against
the attacks of their enemies they Might depend on
success. •

The. CHAIRMAN then moved, that the Court of
Proprietors do approve of the Resolution of
recto's, as to the t ►ie of the tour snips, the Calcutta,
Jane. Duchess (yr. Gyedun., Lady Jane Du labs, and
.Bengal.--=l'n►e 4th of July was fixed for takiiig the
ballot on,these tour cases.

Mr. JACKKW, allitd,ng to the numerous captures 1
of the.Coinpany's ve.set•, &aired his conviction I
that the only way to reinc:dy this evil was by mak-
ing it worth the whlie of ow 'privateers to capture j
the privateers (dour enemy. It ti as quite the po-
licy of our enemy, knowing he had no trade of his' 1
own, o let-loose probably 40,000 men, or whatever
other number he had in the privateering service,
knowing such was me despotic nature -of his GJ-
vernment,.that he could recover them at pleasure,
and that this was the very best and boldest edUca-, I
tion which he could confer upon them to qiialify
them at any period for his marine service.
Mr. RIGBY approved ot.the sentiments express- 1
ed by. the . Honourable and Ledined Gentleman.
He wished to know also what answer had' b,ett
made by the Adinnalty.on the subject of regulit-
ing the impressing Of men from the Company's
ships ?

The CHAIRMAN assured the worthy Proprietor
that the auswcr (which was read) was perteOly
saiistaCtory.
CADETS, Ac. DISMISSED.

The CHAIRMAN was happy to propose to the
Court to approve of a- Resolution of the Court of

• "` :I ""4:

Mr. ..I,cxSoN said it had been resolved' that Iti

; of ,restoring. those

young men \Jhould have:arrived in ibis cbialory, to '
move it as a recommendat.on totne Court of D rec-
tors, that all those among them Who were iricocent-
ishOuld be restored to the service ; but he could nut
• think that a Gentleman -.wile' had friends and pos..
sessea accompitStonents ..rich - as Mr. 'Vaginae was
known to be possessed of, shoold be restored, a pile:
°tiler young men, who had bo friends, but -writ
innoc,nt, should be sudered to fall vietiniS:
to this general error of the whole. He felt consci-
ous of no feeling on this occasion,. except a drsire
to uphold the authurity 'ot• the Court at 'Diredors„
to whiJi they themselves did trot seem btlifiCievtiy
attentive. He had no wish, however, to oppose the •
present motion. He should not even move any
thing this day on the subjed, but when the-othtir
persons dismissed Should arrive in tois coon sboold
humbly recommend to the Directors, that they
would condescend to re-examine ir;to tie case of
each, and that those Who should ba found
persunal-
ly ionocent should be restored, not as an act of hi:
divi,lual patronage, but as an aggregate att.-
SANSOM was satisfied that it was highly pre4
• per, that all those who were not personally Culpable
should be restored ;. but this he thooeiht nn:ort
• be done without subjeAing the young men to the
crt,eity and expence of bringing' them back to this •
Country. The inquiry could be tarried on here
effectually as in India. He: was smistied that the-
'humanity of the Directors would be 'exterdA to
every one, except. the :case Where manifest fraud.
had been practiced by the warty himself.- If all were
to
,be brought back to this country, there•woulit b.l
sotne of them who could not be restored, as being
above the age. , •

Mr. Roc* said, if peremptory orders had been
dispoiched or bringing them home, they must now
be onn-their way.

Mr. GIANT thought-than he two great objel/49
view when the- Res,,iution was paSSed bad been on.
tamed, namely to strike an example to deter from
sup h prataices in futurt-;,-and to vindicate ti;e.charac-
ter of the Compatiy. - These being elfeaed, he did
not see any ne.ce::,ily, for all of them bet brought
home. The Dliectois had inejuired and were s<itis-
tied as to the innocence of rth: parties now ptuposcd
to be teitored. They had 'been reitored by .a.vinu-
at;le 54crifiee of inch+ id. pf patrona,;e, which w.is the
,
test r'eynreu /to show that inure \Val 110 corruption
iu tiktt.Cde. • .

Mr, RIGBY I'D°Ught it possible that all they young
Gen;leruen might be restored without -Calling oo
the Dir,-.dors to, make a sactitice .of individu:il
trotiage.

ME It. WILLTIOIS (Director), having di,charg,A
his duty in the first .instance, shoulA.teel gratified
in seeing every one of the young :men 'i• 100 was
hintseit innocent, restored. It the Honourable and
Learned Gentleman (Jackson) should either now,
or at any other time, Make such a tuolloll he shank'
second

Mr. BOSANQUET was of opinion.ihat the Direc-
tors mould listen to any proposition ft-commending'
morcy, bat thought it should nut be dune in a mu-

!petit.

Mr. TWINING concurred in expressing his con-
viaiou aim, it a recommendation ill this effect were
niade to the Direaors, it would he attended to.•
.
ICir..:iclilsoN did not wish to d prve the Direc-
tors of the grace of that mercy which would so well
become tiwm, and which he ui.hed to see flow
spoot.ineously. If they did not, follow .p fah tx.
pecidtiens, he should not esteem himself precluded
'from again bringing the- matter to, ward ; but the
DO-cctors as, their own act would rerappoint those
young men, he knew it would'he highly grai,ying,
at the s ,tae time that it was the mo3t colisptutiolial
mode of proceeding. Where the authoriiy was,
there he wished the grace to condone aiso. •
Mr. G. SMITH was ceitain all those whom it was
piper to re-appoint would be so re-appointed by
the individual Direaors. Two Wrrers and ore
Cadet were to be reported this day. There 011'1
rrin.tiiied six Cadets, oae of whom could not be it-
stored, and the remaining five, he had no doubt,
would b. re-appointed in the course of the i,c XL
scar. The 'motion for co ati! mkg the re-aproini-
wept of Mr. Magniac was titre wit and tan ;as
w.:s 3 motion-for confirming the re-Appointment ut
Mr. E. J. Smith, also a Writ:[`; and Air.
a Cadet. •

The appointment of an Assistant in the Oriental
Dop.artment of ihe Military Estal)nsninent of t;,e
C .mp'any at Woolwich, with a salary of 2.6UA. a
year, was. approved of.

The Chziirman' inforMed the Meeting, that this
Court had been made special, on account. of a Peti-
tion which had been presente'd to the House of
Commons, in consequence of which a Bill had
passed both Houses of Parliament, ordering a grant
of one million and a half of Exchequer Bills for the
as,istanc:: of the Company.
Also to state that "another Petition had been pre-_
sented to the House of Commons, praying that the
Accounts between the Coon,ry and the Company
should be revised, which. Petition ha,t been re:erred
to a Committee.

This Petition being read, Mr. R. JACKSON cnm-
pliniented the Directors for the attention and care
bad been here shewn to the interes.s tit the
Company.—By such clear and intelligible d,
merits of the real Situation in which,tney wad N ith
respect to the public, the .caluintitesot their enennts
would quickly be made apparent. Adjdurntd.

COURT OF KING'S LENCI--1, Tvirt r 9.

ItOTIINVULL V. DAVIS.

This was an action to recover the sum of 1931. 3i.
the value of certain goods which had beer. sent to
the defendant's vVarelionse, to' be sent to Brighton,
he keeping, waggons that went to and front, that
place, and which goods had been lost.
It Appealed that the package had been left at
the, warehouse, for which a receipt had been given,
but it lievrr appeared at the place of its destina-
tion, nor,could any inforimat ion be obtained of what
had become of it., The plaintqf coniended, that, by
the re, ei t I), had obtained, and the iivo-pence he
had Maid, that he had insured the goods; and that
the di tendant had indemnified him -agaiiisrall loss:
Bin it appearing that a notice was ,tuck up in the
office,.•to the.;4trect that '' no .pack:ige or parcel,
above the -value 51. will be paid for, if Lost, on-
leas it should be properly entered, and paid for ac-
cordingly at the time of the delivery,"
.Mr. Justice BA/LcY, before whom this case was
tried, deemed that a sufficient notice, and held that

the goods had been paid for and entered accordingly.
'The plaintiff might, however, have a npusuit, which
was accepted.

JUNE 20.

JONES V. HUDSON.

This was an.w-,tion recuver damages jorian in-
justice sust.l4o by the i.kiLot Jr,: travi .g been
tossedand 401K,-.1 by an ovei-driveu ox, the property
of the detendian.

Mr..§e.jeant SHEPIIEUD stated the case, which
Was to the following effect :7—On he 22d k
cetnber the .:etettdAnt sent his buy t • Maslow, in
Essex, to drive 11.,nte an ox. The animal was per-
feCtly quiet for the first t‘s o miles of the roa,, when
rte etiincs d some 8).14 urns of wAciness, but conti-
nued his coutse peaceably, tintil he arrived
Whnectiapel, -where he- took ft -ght at the bark in 4,
of tsva does that -,ere attached, to a truck. The
truck he instantly run against and turned over, and
then went on through Leadenhall-street. Front this
time she was deemed completely mad, and, his
drivers save !mike of . that circumstance to the
persons in the street. On passing through Picket-
street, Temple-bar, he ran at a gentleman, %%ho for-
tunately escaped his attack by an. 'accidental fall:
He then rushed forward along the.Strai.d, and s af-
ter an attack on a milk-woman opposite St. Cle-
ment's church, who .also providentially' escaped
his horns ; he proceeled twaards -Norfolk-strtet,
down which the -plaintiff, who is a milk-man,
and had his pail. in his hands, had just turned ;- to.
him' the ungovernable animal directed his fury,
and passing his horns into his thigh, threw hint
nearly ten stet froth the -ground, from which
violence he was .deprived of his senses for a con-.
siderable time, and; was afterwards confined to his.
to stn six weeks and onliged to employ persons tip
do that: business which he had vreviously -done
himself. To recover damages for the personal in-
jury he sustained on that occasion, and for the ad-
ditional expellees he was put to in consequence, • the
present action was brought. The , Learned Ser-
geant went on to slate, that the ox, attar having
done this injury, putsued his way down the Strand,
tossing and goring several, persons, and was at
length, with infinite trouble' and pains, drib en to
St. James's Market, the residence of the detendant,
where he was slaughtered. 'The ground npon.which
he deemed the defendant was answerable for the
mischief done by the animal; was the ciocumstance
of his servant having neglected fo'seente-the animal
in the usual way, by confining him w;ih a' rope or
ham-stringing him, on discovering hith to be un-
got unable, and. in a state of insanity.
.The dis-
covery was made in Whitechapel, and precautions,
might have been taken long ottore the plaintiff was
attacked.

Several witnesses were-called, who proved the in-
sanity of the bullock, and also bore testimony to the
injury h u ta ined by the plaintif.
One of the witoesses, a butcher, declared, that it
was customary when an ox was deemed mad or
over-driven, to. confine him by tying his horn to his
toot, or try ham-strioging Linn, as from the urgency
of the circumstances might appear most expedient.
Mr. Serjeant BEST, for the defendant, in an in-
genious defence, observed, that it was admitted by
the plaintitf 's Counsel and witnesses, that the animal
in question was pettedly tame on leaving Plastow,
,and that its irritation principally arose from a fright
in Whitechapcl, alter ‘vh.ch it became wholly un-
manageable. lie conceived that an animal in that
state could not easily be coaxed to have his foot
tied to 11;s horn, nor could h for one moment
iinagitte that any -man in his senses could leel
dined io expose himself to the imminent danger of
taking a bull by the horns, whose temper was so ap-
parently, uneven. 1-1 e agreed, if the animal had
been mad on its first being driven from Plastow, that
the servant Of the defendant would have been inev-
eusabie ; but die contrary having- appeared to be the
case, he apprehended the justice of the Jury would
induce them to find a verdiel for his client.

The:Learned. Judge, in delivering his charge to
the Jury, observed, that from the time the ox ex-
symptoms of imanity in Whitechapel, to the
time when the injury-was done, sufficient space
had, elapsed to enable the servant of the defendant
to take the proper precautions to secure the animal,
so as to prevent the misc)iefwhich had occurred.—
He leftithe case, however, to the judgment of the/
Jury, who.retired, and after an absence of two hours;
returned 4-Verdict tor •the defendant. •

Translation of a Letter from Don Martin de Caray to the
Marquis Wellesley, dated Seville, :.`,llg. lz, 13,9.

SI R;

I have presented to the Supreme Central Junta, of
which I haze the honour to be Secretary and Mein:-
ber, the note which yoar Excellency did we the ho-
nour to transmit with the date of to-day, relative to
varicus points, respeeting which I will reply to your
Excellency with the brevity which the time and cir-
cumstances require.
Mt withstanding that, by an express sent yester-.
day fir this purpose, an order had been given to the.
General Ccenmandant of Gallicia and the Asturias,
And the Duke del Pardue, that, putting thein3eles:
in motion, they should come clown toward;
ando ;thing' he diredion of the capital; should coin-
pel the French to diminish their forces, to- Bttei,id to
this diversion, and allow the cbinbined armies to act
on the off..nsive;—the Junta has thought it pet u-
liarly its cLty to repeat these same orders, and, com-
municating them by the Corresponding Minister, to
dilett them to your Excellency. This.! now do in
order that your Excellency may use them 'as you
please. In them it is repvated to the'aforesaid Com-
mandants, that they are to art without delay, as I
communicate and as your Excellency desires.
B.etore tliis period all the necessary arrangements
had ben made, that nothing might be antitig to'
the British tro HoweVer, these same orders
are now, renewed. Commissaries ani persons of
entire coefid.-nee are sent, who will -take care that-
alotong sh-dl be wanting to the said army; esta-
blishing mag.:izilies Where it may be ad:aniageous,
and who-re par Excellency thinks convenient. Tile
s Coinunssori,-s go with ample powers and funds
toprevide and prepare :all the stptcours that are on-
ce-sari', 'and which the scare ty of'the Country may
pe.mit, 'which, desolated by the enemy, . sacked by
the soldiers, hiving suffered the weight of war for
't ight mo:e h., and not beingi moreover, of the most
fruitti.n, is not in a state to supply all that might be
destiable. The efforts of the Commissaries, and
the zeal of those sv ho are employed,- will supply the
want of it cans. In the same manner the Commis-
saries are on the. paint of immediate departure,' in
or'er to be able to facilitate the competent number
of muks and c irriages for the armies,- although the
difficulty of assembling as many as are desircd, is
known. The rapacity of, the enemy, and his care
in removing animals of draught, render the collec-
tion more difficult. It, will be endeavoured to ef-
fect it by means of purchases at proper prices, ttor
whiCh purpose Commissaries depart to-morrow ; as
also the number of carts which your Excellency re-
qUires, which can only be of this countiy, when it
is considered to constru6l them in the Catalonian
and Valencian manner, would cause infinite delay
in the operations of the army. Filially, the Junta,
convinced of the urgent access ty of repelling and
removing the common enemy, w ill not spate' means,
diligence, or expellee, to contribute, -oti their patt,
to the embling of both pdw rs'to 46-t on the Offen-
sive.

Your Excellency will be convinced. of the good
faith of the Junta, of the cfforts of the nation, and
of the necvs,ity now greater than ever of -reunion,
for the purpose of driving the enemy from this part
of Spain.

The junta is persuaded that your ExcellenCy
will interest yourself with General Wellesley, in
order- that 'he may en-operate in desires so just ;
convinced as your Excellency must he, how pre.
judicial it would prove for the enemy, in the)!e.cir7-
curnstances, to obtain advantages in Estremadura and
the Andaludels.

The J•mta tequestq your Excellency to commu-
nicate these orcier9l to. Gen. BerestoFcl; that he,
the troops umirrhis command, may assist iu futtlier-
ing this enterptize.

seize this opportunity 'of' rnanifestiug to your
Excellency.

Copy of a Letter from the Marquis Wellesley to Sir Arthut
iNe.isley, dated Seville, Aug. Is, ;Soy.

SIR,

, I liavelbe.hOnour to acknowledge• the receipt 'of
your several dispasehys nosed ill the margin", and
Mr. Ft:ere:3- cort,ponderice vt it h me, including
copies of your letters addressed to him, h,ls afforded
me the necessary information respecting she gene-
ral situ ition of affairs in Spain,
.and the opera-
tiims and condition of the British and Spanish ar..
!Mrs..

Immediately after my arrival at this place, atid
even before I had been admitted to an. atOiency.. by
the Supreme Junta, I.emt,loyed every.endeavour to
induce the Government to adopt the measures and
arrangements suggested in your letter of .Bth of
August.

3. For this purpose I yesterday preiented note
to the Secretary of Stare, of which the inclosed is
a copy, and List night I received au answer, of
which also inclo.e a copy, for your informa-
tion.

4.The orders_to the Duke del Parque were trans-
mitted to you by an express courier this evening
and am inclined to believe that thiS Government
is disposed to make every effbrt compatible witll
iis, powers, with the state of the country, .and with
the inveterate detects of the Military Department
in Spain.
5. You are, however, sufficiently aware of the
impossibility of relying upon such et-Tut ts, unless a
regular system can be. established, tinier such, au-
thorities as may secure its efficiency and seasonable
operation; and, although you•thay be assured that
I will omit no endeavour 'to contribute to the esta-
blishment of stlch a system, I cannot entertain a
confident expeciatiOn of success

6. It is evident, that, in order to secure to your
army the articles which you require, supplies must
be drawn from remote sources, to sach points as
may be properly calculated, for the ,establishment of
inagazines, and that your means of transport and
movement cannot how be from .uie coun-
tries in which yaw• army is acting. I have; there-
