EAST INDIA HOUSE, DEC. 14, 1842.

THE COLTRT of DIRECTORS of the EAST
INDIA COMPANY do hereby give notice,
That a Proprietor of East India Stock hai further postponed,
until the QUARTERLY GENERAL COURT of the said
GOMPANY, appointed to be held at their House in Leaden-
hall-street, on WEDNESDAY, the 21st instant, the motion of
which he had previously given notice, viz. :
" That there be laid before the Court of Proprietors an Es-
timate of the Expense incurred by the War in Affghanistan, to
the 31st December, 1841."

" That there be laid before the Court of Proprietors a
Statement of the Amount of any Loan or Loans raised in India,
with the rates of Interest at which such Loan or Loans may
have been raised since the commencement of the A ff4han War."
" That the protest of Mr. Tucker, or of any other individual
Director, or Directors, against the Affghan War, be laid before
the Court of Proprietors. '
The said Court of Directors do also give notice—
That another Proprietor has postponed until the said Quar-
terly General Court his proposed motion—
" To call the attention of the Court to the Papers which
have recently been printed, and laid before the Proprietors, in
relation to the Commission of Inquiry, held at Sattara on the
Raja of Sattara, in October, 1 t 436, and the conduct of the
Commissioners who sat on that Inquiry."
The said Court of Directors do further give notice—

THE TEA ESTABLISHMENT,
8, LUDGATE-HILL, LONDON.
TUE "GLORIOUS NEWS" from the East is
everywhere hailed with delight and gratitude. In con-
;pence of the highly important announcement of " Peace
tat China," we take the earliest opportunity of making known
er Public, that we have commenced selling all descriptions
'„,IEA much cheaper.
Lthere is no longer any necessity for the public paying ex-
Vagant prices, in order to secure good Teas. The mono-
WY Of price, like all other monopolies, is found to be based on
tkitice and selfishness. Every day's experience tends to
ts7r that the first cost of the finest Teas in China does not
-"fit the extraordinary prices paid in this country: The
Zsiness of the importer is becoming better understood, and
r ier profits, with the intelligent tradesman, like prejudiced
,I,lngS with the better informed part of the public, are now
erally giving way, and comparison in value made the test of
Preference.
The following are ter present Prices ,

That the same Proprietor has stated his-intention to submi
the following motion at the said Quarterly General Courl
viz.:—

" That it is not competent to any Proprietor, after a motion
has been read, to move an adjournment of the Court before
such motion has been moved and seconded. That such a prac-
tice is objectionable on principle and contrary to all wage, and,
if permitted, would be subversive of the independence and
utility of the Court as acomponent part of the Indian Govern-
ment."

The said Court of Directors do likewise give notice—

That another Proprietor has notified his intention to submit
the following motion at the said Quarterly General Court,
viz.:—
. _

That, in the opinion of this Court, the substitution to a
greater extent of the Agency of Natives of India for that of
Europeans, in the Civil Administration of their own Country,
is a measure which is equally called for by considerations of
justice, economy, and sound policy. That it is desirable to
give full effect to sec. 87, cap. 85, of 3d and 4th William 4th,
which enacts, That no native of the said territories, nor any
natural born subject of his Majesty, resident therein, shall, by
reason only of his religion, place of birth, descent, colour, or any
of them, be disabled from holding any place, office, or employ-
ment, under the said Company.' And that the Directors be
recommended, in furtherance of this object, to instruct the Go-
vernments of India to appoint Natives to all Offices in the Civil
Administration under the different Presidencies for which they
may be duly qualified."

established 132 years, 3, Bitchin-lane. The finest description
of Watches at the lowest prices, consistent with maintaining
that character for superiority of workmanship which has dk-
tinguished their establishment dining so long a period. The
Compensated Duplex Watch, upon the principle of their Chro-
nometers, to which Government awarded the prizes three Suc-
cessive years, combines perfect accuracy with the utmost ele-
gance, and is not surpassed by the Pocket Chronometer. W.
and Son have devoted considerable time and attention to the
manufacture of the Patent Lever Watch, and considerably
reduced the price ; likewise the small Horizontal, for ladies.
They can offer a large selection of Second-hand Watches, at
little above have the original cost. The utmost value allowed
for old Watches, in exchange. The most experienced work-
men
in the repairing department are employed on the premises,
for foreign and English manufacture.

classification may be made :-

BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, Hamilton-
Place, New-road, London.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF THE HYGEIST.
James Morison, the youngest son of Alexander Morison,
Esq., was born at Bognie, in the county of Aberdeen, in the
year 1770. The family has been long known as one of great
affluence and respectability, and the late Member for Banff-
shire, John Morison, was the second brother of the subject of
this brief sketch. In early life he studied at the University of
Aberdeen, and afterwards at Hanau, in Germany, being in-
tended for the mercantile profession. After finishing his
studies he resided at Riga, as a merchant, and subsequently in
the West Indies, where ke acquired considerable West India
property. Having suffered much from ill-health, he was
obliged to leave that country and proceed to Europe, seeking,
from change of climate, a restoration to health. About the
year 1814 he settled at Bordeaux, where he resided in great
respectability. It is now twenty years ago that, by his discovery
and perseverance, he accomplished his own extraordinary cure.
We cannot do better than transcribe the following interest-
ing particulars given by himself in the " Morisoniana:"—
" A thirty-five years' inexpressible suffering, both of body
and mind, is an event, too, which falls but to the lot of few,
if of any at all. Had it pleased God to have called me out of
this world eight years ago, I should have died as another man,
and been forgotten. and the world could have reaped no benefit
from my case and misfortunes, nor from the favourable effects
produced by the same means on my children, This is a
guarantee to the world not often to be met with, and a con-
vincing proof of the motto prefixed to this advice, that ' health
and old age are within the reach of us all.' "
For the remainder of the case see his " Biographical Sketch,"
by his sons and successors, p. 3.

COLLEGE LIFE.—The " Life" led by the students
of our English Universities was almost a sealed book
to half the world until the publication of " Peter
Priggins's" admirable sketches of one grade of it.
The same writer's new work, just published, under
the title of " College Life," completes the picture,
by furnishing all its other phases, and with a breadth
of humour, a fund of anecdote, an original view of
character, and a graphic force of style, that leave
us less to regret in the premature loss of our great
humorist, Theodore Hook. The value of this work
is greatly enhanced by the circumstance of its author,
Mr. Hewlett, late of Worcester College, Oxford,
having laid aside his mask, and thus proved (what
was, however, felt to be the case, from his first ap-
pearance in the literary world), that his pictures of
College Life" (strange as they are) are drawn
from actual observation and experience.
