STAR'. DUTILS IN INDIA.

terms in which it was drawn up. It was, he thought,-
a piece of bad taste for the Court of Directors to pass
an eulogium on their' own liberality.—(Hear.)
General TnotiNToN supported the motion.
Sir C. FostnEs also supported the motion, but
denied what had been asserted by his lion. Friend
(Mr. Hume)=-that.Lord Hastings was the greatest
Governor-General, that India ever saw. He re-
ferred, as a proof of the truth of his position, to the
administration of the Marquis Wellesley, whom he
considered the preserver of our Indian empire. It
was by his energy that the machinations of Scin-
dish, of the Peislivva, andof "biker, were effectually
defeated. And what, he asked, had they done for
that Noble Marquis ? He had, at the taking of Se-
ringapatam, been offered 100,0001. to be deducted
from the value of the ordnance and stores captured
there; but lie would not take one
sixpence of it,
because he considered that the army alone had a
right to it. Afterwards he was allowed the interest
of that sum, which was to be continued to him
during the existence of the Company's charter and
the preservation of the monopoly. The lion. Bart.
then adverted to the administration of the Marquis
of :Hastings, which he highly eulogized, especially-
with respect to his financial arrangements.. In that
particular the Noble Marquis certainly was the
greatest GOvernor-„General that India hail ever sseii.
When he artived ii? India, the Company's paper was
at a ,discount of 15 per cent.; but when he left that
country, it was at a premium of nearly 40 per cent.
—(Hear !)—ln conclusion, the Hon. Baronet sug-
gested 'the propriety of erecting a statue of the
Noble Marquis in that Court.—(Hear !)
Mr. D. KINNAIRri took the same view of the sub-
ject that Mr. Hume had previously done. , He
severely, censured the terms of the motion, rather
than sign which, he said, lie would suffer his right
hand to be cut off. He described the public abili-
ties and the private virtues of the late Noble'Mar-
qUis •in a very impressive manner. r If the Noble
Marquis had impoverished his fortunes, it should be
recollected that he had not done so in the pursuit of
selfish objects. No, he had expended it in the most
splendid hospitality this country had ever known—
hospitality bestowed on those, who, in consequence
of the French Revolution, were driven to seek re-
' fuge in this country. •He endeavoured to throw
around them a shadow at least of that regal dignity
which they had once possessed, and of which they
had-been deprived. It was said, that thelate Mar-
quis and his lady received theinterest of the sum which
had,been formerly voted by the Court. He, how-
ever, could pledge himself to the fact, that they had
jointly disposed of their interest in the grant, to
enable the Marquis to proceed to India, to administer
the affairs of the Company.
Mr. ASTELL opposed the motion. He contended,
that the services of the late Marquis of Hastings had
been sufficiently rewarded, when, in 1819, a grant of
60,0001. was voted to him, whiCh the Noble Mar-
quis himself described as being " a princely gift."
That sum was placed in the hands of trustees, and
was specially guarded for the benefit of him and his
family. The last speaker had stated that the in-
terest; id this'6o,ooo/. hail been sold, and he wished
it to be inferred that it was sold on account of the
difficulties of the Noble Marquis, when he went out
to India in 1811... But; that was not the fact. It
was sold on the Noble Lord's return from India.
. Mr. WIORAM concurred with his Honourable
Friend (Colonel Astell) in his view of the case. He
•would therefore Oppose the motion.
;;, Mr. CAMPBELL 'said, that the chief difference
with respect to the grant seemed to be as to the
mode of conferring it. It was said that it was given
to the family of Lord Hastings, but if not given for
, the services of the Noble Marquis; he could not see
why the Court should give a sum to that Nobleman's
family, more than to any other. He looked upon it
as given for the Noble Lord's services. Those
services were the ground of the grant—consideration
for the circumstances of his family was the motive.
He thought those services fully deserved the grant,
and he would therefore readily tote for it.
Mr. PATTISON supported the motion.

Mr. STUART supported the motion, but not on the
ground of any farther grant being called for in con-
sideration of Lord Hastings', services. Those ser-
vices had already been most liberally rewarded, as
was admitted by the Noble Lord himself. Taking
into consideration the prize-money to which Lord
Hastings had become entitled, he was more amply
rewarded than either Lords Cornwallis or Wellesley.
The grant now before the Court was to be given to
the Noble Lord's family, and not for the cause
assigned by some Proprietors. _ _

. _
The CHAIRMAN, in explanation, said that at first
a sum of 5,0001. a-year, for 20 years, was proposed
for the Noble' Lord, but that subsequently that was
changed into a grant of 60,0001., which, in fact, was
less than the value of an annuity of 5,0001. for 20
years. The sum given to the Marquis of Wllesley
was much greater.
Sir J. DOYLE said, that the prize-money to which
the Noble Lord had become entitled was the grant
Of the King, not of that Court. The Court might
as well take credit-for the Noble Lord's having got a
prize in the lottery, if such a thing had occurred.
Mr. D. KINNAIRD said, the payment of the prize-
money had been delayed so long, that there was an
accumulation 'of interest' accruing in India which
would swallow it: up, and he believed the Noble
Lord's creditors would never derive any benefit
from it.
Colonel DOYLE feared that the distribution of the
priic-Money would be protracted. This was chiefly
the fault of the officers commanding regiments, who

said, that statement would be
received with much satisfaction by many parties in-

The question was then put and carried in the
affirmative, with only four dissentient voices (two
within the bar and two without.)

ixraNsits OF GENERAL COURTS AND BALLOT.

General Tiioß yrox was about to submit a mo-
tion for an account of the ext►ences of an extra
Special'Court, 'end also of the expenses 'of a ballot,
but he was informed by the Chairman that the ex_
pence of the former was la., and that of the latter
151. _ _ _

General THORNTON expressed himself satisfied
with this information, and withdrew his motion.

Captain MAXFIELD rose for the purpose of sub-
mitting a motion on the subject of the late imposi-
tion of stamp duties in. Calcutta and the provinces.
The Hon. Member contended that the Order in
Council was not strictly legal, and that even if it
were legal to impose the tax, the Act gave no power
to tax ad libitum a country not represented in this.
lie contended that the tax on law stamps was, in
many cases, most oppressive, and though its object
was said to be to check litigation, yet it had the.ef-
feet, in many cases, of being a denial of justice to
the poor. The Hon. Proprietor, after observing
that the tax went not only to law proceedings, but,
by the decree of the Governor in Council, was ex-
tended to mercantile transactions, was about to
read to the Court the petition of the merchants,
European and Native, of Calcutta, to the Deputy-
Governor in Council, against the tax, when
The CHAIRMAN observed, that it would not be

quite regulqlesitubsiticittlw of the
Court a document on which they could not act, as
it had not yet cottaipilicially before them. -
Captain MAXFIEO3 said, he would read the peti-
tion as part of his speech.
The CHAIRMAN did not wish to prevent him,
but he did not see how it would forward his object.
As the petition had not yet been officially contrail,
nicatod to them; they could take no notice of it. -
Mr. Music agreed that this must be the case.
He wished to know whether the regulation of 1826,
imposing the duty, had been submitted to and sanc-
tioned by the Directors, and whether the Govern-
ment of Bengal had transmitted any communication
respecting the petition of the merchants of Calcutta
to the Council, against the stamp duty ? •
The CHAIRMAN said, the Court of Directors had
received and sanctioned the order for the imposition
of the, tax. They lind not yet received any official
notice of the petition.
Mr. HONE strongly condemned the native Go-
vernment fig the delay in transmitting so important
a document.

Mr. WIGRAst saisl,it was unfair to assume that the
Government had &ti prfe sse d the petition. The last
accounts from India-were dated in April, and the
pkition vas sent in the end of March. As the Go-
vernor-General was absent from Calcutta, it was
fair to assume that the Government had not had
time to come to nay decision on the petition.
After a few words from 111 r. Ht7AIE and Captain
MAxneLo, the motion was withdrawn, but a notice
of motion en the- fitihlject was given for the next
General Court.

IMMIGONAIENT FOR 1)11*54 IN INDIA

Colonel L. STANHOPE gave no: 4,:e of a motion on
his subject for the next General Courb—Aturned.

A SCENE AT A FRENCH INN.

A company of English gentlemen, one belong-
ing to the military, anotber to the navy, a third a
merchant, and the last, a sort isinelitlescript, con-
spired together at Boulogne, to accomplish a
journey to St. Omer, for the purpose of seeing
his Majesty Charles X. Mier a variety of ad-
ventures they penetrated the,ancient town of St.
Omer, on the very . Sunday evening when the
King was to make his public entry. They drove .
to an auberge, and agreed with the landlord to
hire four beds in a single room, and to pay so
much by the night; They remained on Sunday
night, and had the pleasure of witnessing ,his
Majesty's arrival, and as they thought enough
was as good as a feast, they made preparations to
return next day to Boulogne. They called for
the bill. " Oh, oh," says the landlord, " you
agreed to stop for four nights." " Four nights!
why how can that be, our carriage is hired for
only two days, we must return to-day or pay an
extra sum." The landlord was willing to listen
to reason, but the landlord's lady was not quite
so placable. A French woman, tin a downright
passion, certainly has the advantage of a great
number of those peculiar sights which are not to
be described ; for she is neither to be described
nor conceived. The sibyl was absolutely destiDed
by nature to distil gall and wormwood from lies'
tongue. Her eyes were not merely fiery—they
were two furnaces which seemed to glow more
ardently from under a pair of dark and dense eye-
brows. She insisted on being paid for four nights'
lodging. The husband, on whom reflection began
to operate, relented, and in the course of the
Monday, consented to reduce his claim to one half,
that is, to the amount of two nights' lodgings.
" Very well," said the visiters, " if we pay you
two nights, we stop two nights." The husband
grew again unreasonable—the wife tempestuous,
and forth went the whole panty to a police office.
The Commissary was not at the office, and the
English agreed to a reference, selecting a couple
of the Commissary's men as the arbitrators, and
,all returned to the inn. Here the case was dis-
cussed without the slightest attention to regu-
larity, and the result was that the two nmpires,
differing in their judgments, fell foul of each
other. Between the jabbering of the Frenchmen
and woman—between bad English and worse
French, that proceeded from the amateur
lawyers on all sides—the scene was such as to
'remind one of the times of revolutionary anarchy.
Lo, in the midst of the horrid din, the august
Commissary himself appeared surrounded by
satellite gensdarmes. In an instant, the storm
was laid—tumirli cequora placat. The func-
tionary is rather a small man, but possesaing a
very large soul—with a gravity worthy .asf, the
Star-chamber, he strode into the room and.
solemnly opened a Court of Inquiry there. Now
the apartment which had thus the good fortune
to be converted into a temporary Court was the
identical four bedded room in the occupation of
the English. The Commissary had to take his
seat upon one of the beds, whilst the gendarme
held the only candle that lighted the apartment.
The room was now nearly filled, and the Com-
missary, putting on his hat, ordered the landlord,
the plaintiff, to come forward and state his ease.
His case was, that the four strangers came to his
house on Sunday evening, took his room for
four nights, and that• ho was now entitled
to be paid for four nights, whether they
Englishmen.

off the bed—" The matter is clear, says
he ; " these gentlemen must, pay you for
four nights."—" Is that your decision, Sir ?" in-

"That is more than you
can tell, Sir ; I have an answer--m-
-y answer is tins."
—Here the Englishman produced the landlord's
bill. " Now, Mr. commissary,".
he observed.
" will you be so good as to resolve me this ques-
tion—if the landlord entitled
was to charge four
nights, why did eh '
consent to charge for only
.
two ?"-.5.“ Ha, ha! I see," exelaiMed the Coins
missary--," aye......7why did you charge for only
two ? why diminish your claims ?" and jumping
off' the bed a second time, the man of office de-
clared a second time, that tlia, case was quite
clear, only in an opposite way to what it was
before; and the. English party remained the two
order of the
nights in all, and by Commissary,.
paid for only twe nights. . Before the morning,
the fiery, vituperative plaintiff was turned into
the smoOth-tongued cap:in-hand landlord ; and,
is the English were leaving the inn, they never
law such apparent symptoms of disinterested re-
4ret as were manifested by the diplomatic Boni-
race for their departure.

On Wednesday last, at ten minutes past five
•j'clock in the morning, several persons at Grand-
!lohn Manufactory observed in' the heavens, a
