EAST INDIA HOUSE.

A Quarterly General Court of Proprietors of East
India Stock was held yesterday, at the Company's
House, in Leadenhall•street.
A Dividend of 51 per cent. for the half-year com-
mencing thesth January last, and ending the sth July,
was declared on the Company's Capital Stock.
General THORNTON brought forward his motion for
theßeduction of the Interest on East India Bonds ; which,
alter a few obset vationsfrom the Chaitman,Mr.Lowndes,
Mr. Addinell, and Mr. D. Kinnaird, was withdrawn.
Mr. D. KINNAIRD expre,sed Ms surprise that the
summary of the Marquis of Ilastings's administration
in India, which had been recently published, was not
placed amongst the papers that were about to be
printed for the purpose of illustrating the condact of
that Nobleman, while employed in the G3vernment
of India. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving
for the production of that document.
The Motion was agreed to after a long discussion, in
which several of the Directors defended the course
which had been pursued by the Executive Body, on
the ground that the document in question did not pos-
sess 7.11 official character. _

Mr. D. KINNAinv then moved for a dispatch relative
to the retrenchment of the Indian Army, which he
stated to be absolutely necessary for the purpose of elu-
cidating a very important period of the Noble Mar-
quis's Administration.
A very long and desultory debate followed, in the
course of which Mr. Impey moved, as an amendment,
" that this Com do now adjourn."
Oa this question the Court divided, when there ap-
peared to be twenty Proprietors for, and twenty against
the motion. _ .

The Chairman then gave his vote in favour of the
adjournment, and the Couit broke up :it twenty Mi-
nutes after seven o'clock.

Lady GRANTHAM gave one of the most splendid balls
of the season on Monday evening, at the tiepin mansion of the
Countess Da GREY, in St. James s.square.
A letter was received express from Falmouth yester-
day, which informs us that affairs were going on fa-
vourably at Colombia, and that Colonel HAMILTON,
the head of the British Commission, intended to have
sailed for England in the RINALDO, but was prevented
by indisposition. Ile may, however, be expected by the
next arrival. Mr. WILDMAN, M.P. and Colonel CAMP•
BELL, came passengers in the RLNALDOs
Letters from Illinois state, that party spirit runs very
high in that State, with respect to a Convention for the
purpose of introducing slavery. It is said that both
parties are equally confident of success. Such is the

Horse Guards, 18th May, 1824.

It has been reported to the Commander-in-Chief, that in some
instances, Regimental Officers have been employed by certain SJ•
ckties for the distribution of Bibles and Religious Tracts among
the Troops : and, considering that such a duty belongs solely to the
Chaplains of the Army, who are attached to Garrisons or Bri-
gades, and who are the proper and only channel, with the appro-
bation of the Commanding Officer 4, for all communications of this
nature, his Royal Highness strictly forbids Officers front
accepting or executing any such commission, under the..penalty of
his Majesty's severe displeasure. In giving this Order to the Army,
his Royal Highness feels it essential-to declare, that ,Military Chap-
lains are always ready to perform the duties for which they are held
responsible; and that they will never fail to issue to the Troops,
under regular authority, whatever it may be proper to distribute
among them.

HATTON-6 ARDEN.

A. Trincen!, driver of the hackney-coach, Nc. 83E, was charged
with extorting 41. 6d. for his fare trout the Bull Inn, %ld, ur, to
Weston-street, Battle Bridge, and also for InAgage. The ..7.-
gistrate tact-redo) the Regulations, and pronounced the fare to he
only 34. 6d. Coacher, however, resolved not to give up the point
easily, and insisted on having the ground measured, which is to be
done this day.—With regard to the luggage, it is necessary the
Public should know that the Commissioners have published a note,
stating that " it is customary, where coachmen have to convey heavy
luggage, to make a trifling charge; but rhitt charge must be agreed
on before the luggage is put into the coach, or the coachman canna
claim it."—ln the present case, however, the luggage only consisted
of two schoolboy's trunks, consequently not liable to a charge.

Henry VIII. Mrs. BUNN was also exceedingly successful
as Queen Onthdrine. But the chief attraction of the
evening was MaJame CATALAN!, who introduced
some of licr favourite airs between the acts. Di tanti
rlpiti, and liones Variations, were her chief perform-
ances, and these are already so well known to the
Public that it requires no further notice from us, than
to say that she succeeded to the utmost wishes of a very
crowded and genteel audience,'who had assembled to
hear her wonderful 'and delightful isrunds.

COROAEit'S 'IA QV EST.

Monday last, an Inquest was taken at Kidlitgtian,-
Oxon, by Mr. Cecil, Coroner, on view of the body of
Joseph Smith.
James Alder, set-via to John Carter, of Abingdon,
boatman, deposed, that on Saturday last, about six or
seven o'clock in the evening, he was going to Oxford
with a boat of Mr. Carter's, in company with Joseph
Smith ; Smith was sober; when they arrived at Kid-
lington Green Lock, Smith began to draw the pad-
c.es, and when he had got them about three parts up,
the windlass slipped off, and Smith fell into the canal.
Witness heard him groan, and went to his assistance,
and found him on the opposite side of the canal to where:
he had fallen in, with his head above water. Witness
pulled him into the boat, and let him lay till two boats
came up; 'Smith was, then carried into the cabin ; he
was not then dead. When witness took hold of Smith,
lie said, " you are not to look after me—you are to
look alter the boat." Some salt was rubbed on Smith's,
stomach, but it did not relieve him; lie moved about
for half an hour, and then died. Witness thought Smith
tell against the Lock Gate, as he spit blood. Smith did
not give any account how he fell into the water.
Verdict Accidental Death, occasioned by the quan•
tity of water he had swallowed, or from some internal
injury he had received by falling against the Lock Gate.

Yesterday morning, Mr. West, a master carpenter,
ut Daldwin's-gardens, Gray's Inn-lane, aged 41, while
putting on his clothes, said to his site—" My dear, can
Intl see me?" She an,wered—" Certainly I can:
Then," said he, " I cannot see you," and instantly fell
down a lifeless corpse.

LINTZ, APRIL 7.

Prince Metternich accompanies the Emperor to
Prague. We du not, as yet know, it his Majesty will
go to Berlin, to be present at an important
Baron de Kriegelstein, our Miniver at the Court of •
Portugal, has sent to our Court a declaration of the
Cabinet of Lisbon, relative to the affairs or the Brazl;s•
Our Court,. notwithstanding the interest it ta!-..e, in
the Prince Royal and his august wile, daughter of oti:
Emperor, is decided not to acknowledge, in any si..ye,
the independence of the Brazils,.and will pursue the
system adopted by the other great Powers forming the
Holy Alliance. •

We rejoice to see that the subscription in aid of the
Distressed Settlers, at the Cape of Good Hope continues
to meet with encouragement. The accounts received
from the New Colony since the publication of the Re•
port by the Committee, add to the afflicting mass of
intelligence aheady received. They announce the
failure of the finial] year's crop, and convey the most
melancholy details of The effects of the late inundation.
The brief summary of the disasters which have befallen
the unfortunate settlers, contains a powerful appeal to
the best feelings of our nature.
Among the sufferers are Officers on the Half-pay Ust
of the Army and Navy, who have been induced to emi-
grate, in the hope of obtaining in a new country those
opportunities for exertion in support of their families
which did not present themselves in England. Alter
tour years of toil and privation, not only have these un-
happy colonist,: been miserably disappointed in their
laudable exertion!, but they are now reduced to such a
state of destitution as to become objects for the com-
passionate aid of their fellow-countrymen.
We are c( nvinced that a general knowledge of the
facts is alone wanting to call forth such an exertion of
public benevolence as the urgency of the case.demands.

THE THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE. •
• Last night, after the tragedy of Virginias was admi-
rably performed, a new Pantomime was produced, en-
d tied &roaster ; or, The Spirit of the Slur, The chief
merit of this performance, according to our judgment,
consists in the effort to make mete pantomimic exhibi-
tions subordinate to dramatic compositions. Mr. MoN•
GRIEF is, as w e understand, the author of the piece, and
it is but justice to him to say,. that he has done some-
thing for the regular drama by asserting its prerlomi•
trance in cases which the Managers pretend to direct
under very different circumstance.
The plot was very simple, though laid in Egypt, the land of hie-
roglyphic+. Tile hero of the piece, Gebir (W ALLAcr) is a youthful
shepherd, in which state he becomes enamoured of ronsina (Mrs.
WEst), a shepherdess, who, though at the time unconscious of her
high descent, the rightful heiress to the throne of Egypt. Gebir
is a favourite disciple of Zongtster, the High Priest of the Magi,
who conft.rti on bins the miraculous power of obtaining every ob-
ject of his desire. The shepherd, in consequence of this wonderful
gift, soon becomes a powerful Prince, and in his elevation forgets-
his plighted faith to the humble Pamina, whom he spurns. In the
progress of the story, Pantina ascends the throne of Egypt as the
rightful heiress, and in her turn rejects the ungateful Gibia, whose
love is then ttkindled by ambition. But as woman's heart is
formed to forgive, like heaven, on repent:mei., Poneum, having
assured herself of a bir's sorrow for his treason to her love, pardons
the penitent ()[fender, and makes him the partner of her throne.
Such is the story which the author has availed himself of, evidently
for the purpose of bitroducing splendid scenery, accompanied with
all the charms of music, both vocal and instrumental.. This is dex-
terously done by the tact of Gebir's miraculous power, who places
himself in the centre of the earth, and calls before him the wonders
of nature and art.

In this way the audience ate presented with the Great
Desert of Aiabia, by twilight—an Arab encampment
—a caravan of merchants—the. Egyptian Pyramids—
colossal head of the Sphynx—the Innis of the Temple
of. A pollinopolis Magna—the Colossus of Ithodes—the
Bay of Naples, with Mount Vesuvius—the Falls of
Tivoli—the city of Babylon io all its splendour, it,
brazen wails, massy toss el s, and wondrous hanging
gai.dens, and final &sr' uttion; • The scenic exhibition
is entitled to the hi,;liest piiiise,..and the dialogue was
Ind as well conducted .as in cases.wliere music and ex-
hibition folni the vein objects we •-liave reason to ex-
pect. IVith respect to the-mmici alreiselections were
judicious, an.l where-an of ik;inaleffoi t vras.thatle, it was
svoithy of tl:e able. composer, Mr.. epi.?KK, whose
talents were exerted on the occasion. 1114erfoimers
exerted themselves with zeal wad ability,
and sevei al 01 the songs and chmusses produced the
in.st striking effect. The piece
.coMpletely sue=
cessfui, and must have a good run.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Sta—ln your Paper of this day, I felt surprised at reading a most
cruel and unfounded paragraph relative to the unfortunate John Hill
Wagstaff, now under sentence of death for forgery, which I must
entreat you will do me the kindness to contradict. I can most so-
lemnly affirm, that he never was possessed of .the sum of £15,000.
which it states he received on coming of age ; it is entirely false. In
resgard to his having married a Lady possessed -of a handsome for-
tune, and that he had spent it, so far from that being the fact, I do
affirm, that his wife's Lortune was settled upon herself and her child ;
and that he never had nor wished to have any power over it. In
justice to a beloved and greatly injured brother, I cannot. forbear
correcting this base report, no part of which has the least foundation
in truth. No doubt, Mr. Editor, it was copied into Toe STAR'
from other papers, as it was observe-1 in some previous!), to yours;
but I must beg you will not allow a day to pass without inserting
this contradiction, and doing justice to the feelings of a dis:ressed
family. I reatain, Sir, his unfortunate sister,

Gibraltar papers to the 30th March w ere received

states that Ben Y'Show, the chief of the province of
Garb, has had an engage:Lent with one of the marauding
tribes of his district, in which he has lost SO men. Mniev
Sheild has given up the siege of Mequinez, and gone to
Tafilet, having, it is said, secured in the Atlas mountains
a safe place of retreat; while the Governor of the Wack
Honclaya, at Mequinez, has sent to the Emperor a con-
siderable remittance from the treasury at tha: place.
One of the Berriber tribes have also submitted 0. the
Emperor, sending their women as hostages to Fez.
The Provincial Papers contain more than the ordinary.
catalogue of outrages. Limerick appears to be almost
as disturbed as at any former period ; but we must re-
mark, at the same time, that there is a manifest ten-
dency to exaggerate in some of the Provincial:Journals.

implored as to decoration and ornament since last

son to regret his expenditto c, or to complain of the Ur.
kindness of his friends. After the Caledonian diver:ise-
ment, called the Birth Day, the melo-diame of tilt,
ilfrican Slave was .performed. The great ate action of
the night was of course-the Pantomime, which ahoLatied
in Clowns and Columbines, there being no fewer thin
six of these active and necessary character s. The scenery
was excellent, and exhibited many well-known views of
London. The audience manifested their apiaobation rf
the night's entertainment in the most unequivocal manner.

SIR. EX-SIIERIPF PARKINS.

This Gentleman appeared in the Office this day, and having taken
his seat on the Bench, read a letter containing some very strong re-
marks against the Ed.t irs of certain Journals, for their comments
relative to the late proceedings in the King's Bench and elsewhere. •

ANOTHAR BURGLARY AT HAMPSTEAD.
The daring gang of burglars who have Fo successfully carried on
their system of plunder, contrived to effect another robbery at the
house of Mr. George Todd, of Belsize-lane, on the morning of
Sunday last, and carry off a quantity of plate, &c.
Information was given of the transaction at the above office, and
from what has taken place, suspicion has fallen on some persons for
whom the officers are in active search. It is astoni,hing that though
there is so strong a body of officers on this line of road, who are
constantly on the " look out," as it is tetmed, that the robbers
should effect their escape.
A number of disorderly persons were ordered to find bail, and
the most dissolute characters sent to the House of Correction, to
beat time to the parody of " And we're all treading, tread, tread,
treading around this cursed wheel."

A Cabinet Council was held this afternoon, at the

EAST INDIA HOUSE.

A Special General Court of Proprietors of East India
Stock, was yesterday held at the Company's House in
Le,tdenhall-street.
The CHAIRMAN (%'. Astell, Esq.) stated that the
Court was specially summoned for the put pose of lay.
ing before the Proprietors the Draft of a Bill, now pend-
ing in Parliament, for the purpose of ceding to the
Company certain territories in the East Indies (Sinca.
pore, &c.). in lieu of Bencoolen and certain other posses.
sions, belonging to the Company, which had been trans•
ferred to his Majesty the King of the Netherlands.—
Having briefly stated the circumstances out of which this
mutual transfer took place, the Honourable Chairman
concluded by moving —" That the Court of Proprietors
approve of the said Bill."
Mr. K. JACKSON took an enlarged view of the con•
flexion of this country with the Eastern Archipelago, and
expressed his approbation of the present measure in the
most unqualified terms.
After a iew words from Messrs. GAIIAGAN, TRAIT,
and WEEDING, the notion was agreed to nein. eon. and
the Court adjourned.

TROTTING MATCH.

Mr, Dysart's match to trot his mare fifteen miles in one hone,
took place yesterday over three miles of ground, for 100 sovereigns,
and to carry 11 stone. The first three nules were done in 11 min.
10 sec. the second, 11 min. 8 sec. third, 11 min. 110 sec. fourth, 12.
min. 10 sec. fifth, 12. min. 2.8 sec. Total, 58 minutes 10 secor.ds.
The mare broke only twice, and won the match cleverly.

ROWING MATCH FOR A HUNDRED SOVEREIGNS•
This grand Rowing Match of distance against time, was con-
tended for on Saturday last, on the river Thames, for 100 sove-
reigns, by two Gentlemen, who, it appears, undertook, for the
above wager, to row, in a waterfowl's wherry, with oars, accom-
panied by a coxswain, from Woolwich up the River, proceed
through the centre arch of Richmond-bridge, and return again to
the starting place at Woolwich, in the space of eight hours. The
parties were landsmen, and Cadets belonging to Woolwich; and
no sooner was the match in contemplation, than several heavy bets
were laid against the performance the distance being computed to
exceed 55 miles. Accordingly, gaturday being the day fixed on
for the exploit, about half-past eleven o'clock the rowers made their
appearance on the shore, dressed in blue striped shirts : they were
in high spirits, and fully confident of succeeding. Preparatory ar-
rangements then commenced for this excursion, and about twelve
o'clock the parties took their station in the boat, immediately op-
posite the Arsenal, and ten minutes afterwards they started from
Woolwich, by signal, with a strong current upwards, and pro-
ceeded along the silvery stream with great velocity. At five mi-
nutes after two the rowers reached Lambeth Palace, and arrived at
Richmond-bridge about a quarter before four, tool :a little refresh-
ment, and remained there several minutes; they then proceAlest
downwards, and on their arrival at Waterloo Bridge it was half.
past six o'clock ; here they seemed much fatigued, rowed very ir-
regular, and the general opinion among many well-known, experi-
,
enced watermen was, that they would no doubt lose the wager, as
they appeared knocked up. The candidates, however, manfully
maintained their stations, :rnd keeping up a firm reaolution, finally
reached the starting place within seven minutes and a half of the
appointed time, and won the match cleverly, although greatly di,.
tressed. The successful candidates were immediately ushered
ashore, amid loud acclawations of joy front a crowd of spectators
assembled on the occasion.
