were sworn in with the usual ceremonies, and installed with the
chains of office. The Under Sheriffs are Mr. Austin. Wytue and
Mr. leases SMITH, whose polite and earnest attention to the accom-

One of the most extraordinary contrivances of smug-
glers, for the expert of merchandise " prohibited to be sent out of
the country," was lately discovered in Russia, at the Barriere des
Douanes of Koubuisk. The silver coin of the country, to a great
amount, had for some time past been exported by smugglers as
biscuit, in which it was baked. The cheat would not have been
detected, but that the bread for exportation began to weigh can.

Stephen Rodin and Thomas Hardy, two pitmen, have
been committed to Durham gaol, for the wilful murder of W.
Richardson, a peaceable man, with whom they had been drinking

up and struck the deceased a violent blow on the head with a
large iron poker, wbieh brought him to the ground ; oo which
Rawlin again came up, and gave hint several kicks on various parts
of the body. They then left him, and he was conveyed into an
adjoining house, where, after lingering in the most excruciating
pain until six o'clock next morning, he expired.
One or two nefarious attempts have recently been
made to destroy the new buildings in Gray's inn-road

nOtsk.-'

A qrarterly General Couit of Proprietors of East-1
Irdra Stock, was yesterday held at the Company's
Hance, in Leadett`lall-street. •
Accounts relative to the expense of the East India College were
laid on the table.
Mr. Hums took that opportunity of calling the at-
tenisod of the Court to the-fact, that military officers
were at present sent out to India, who Were ignorant
of the language of the natives. He was anxious that
it sl.ould belnade a regulation of the Court•of Direc-
tors, that no person should be sent to India who had
riot previously received proper instruction in the lan-
guage. Dr. Gilchrist had formerly 2001. a year, for
instructing such cadets as came to him in the Hindoo-
stannee tongue, but he had been dismissed.
The CHAIRMAN said, that no doubt it was proper
the young men should have an insight into the Hin-
doostannee tongue ; hut hz was. of opinion that it was
better for them to attain knowledge in India, than
to acquire it by remaining for some months in London,
wht re th-ir n.orals were likely to be vitiated.
Mr. Ileste observed, there were no less than twenty•two semi-
naries out of Londcn, where the necessary instruction might be
obtained.

Mr. R. JACKSON was cf opinion that it ought to be
made obligatory on the young men, before they left
this country, to acquire some knowledge of the Hin-
doostannee tongue.
Mr. HUMS then proposed a motion, calling on the
Court of Directors to take into their serious considera-
tion the propt iety of agreeing to a regulation, ordain-
ing that no cadet should be suffered to proceed to
India until he had acquired a certain knowledge of the
Ilindoobtannee language, leaving to the Directors to
state the period which should be devoted to the study,
and the extent to which it should be carried.
General TstottNros seconded the motion, and after
a discussion, in which the Chairman, Mr. Trant, Capt.
MaxtieLi, Mr. TwininLt', the Deputy Chait man (Sir G.
A. Robinson), Sir P. Laurie, Sir J. Doyle, Mr. Patti-
son, and Mr. Astell took pate, the Court divided, when
there appeared—
For the motion, 26 I Against it, 40 I Majority, 14.
The CHAIRMAN then acquainted the Conic, that he
had received a letter, since the advertisement of the
resolution of the Court of Directors for granting to
Lieutenant. Colonel Staunton an annuity of 5001. a year,
informing him of the death of that individual. He had
no communication to make to the Cl:urt on that subject.
Mr. tin= inquired whether Colonel Staunton had not left a
widow to lament hat loss?
Mr. 'lsviliuso who highly eulogized the character of the deceased,
answered in the afir mulve.
Mt: Huxa hoped, if the Lady were in want of assistance, that
the Court of Directors would not withhold it. •
The CIiAIRMAN said, that any application in her favoig would ie

-
pteprrly attcutled to.
A teuplution of the Court of Directors, granting to
Mr. Sandford Arnott the sum of• 1,5001. was agreed
to, sub silentio, subject to the confi:mation of another
General Court.

Mr. H UME adverted briefly to the Oude Papers, which
were delivered to the Proprietors on the Slat of last
month, and inquited, whether the Hon. Deputy Chair-
rilan, who moved fur them, meant to found any motion
on their contents?
The Devote CILURMAN intimated that be did not.
Mr. Hems gave notice, that he would, at no distant period,
submit to the Court a motion connected with these dectralents.
fir Z. Doris inquired, whether a protest against the production
of those papers bad not been signed by sonic of the Directors?
The Cuarttuan answered, that as far as he could recollect there
were dissentients on that occasion.
Sir J. Dons took it for granted that the dissent was recorded,
and 'wished to hare it read.
Mr. HUME suggested that it would not be right io
have it read at a moment when the papers were not
Is, fore the Propt ielors. Ile therefore proposed that the
protest should be printed, and added to the other papers.
The motion foryriming the protest was then put and agreed to.
Mr. flume inquired whether any information had
arrived, since the last Court, relative to the unfortunate
affair at Bari ackpore ? He understood that the report
of the Commission appointed to inquire into that me.
lanclioly business bad arrived in the Rose.
The CHAIRMAN answesea, that a communication on
the subject, not by the Rose, hut by the Euphrates,
likd reached him riot five minutes before the Court had
dtsimMed.

' • .

Mr. liuxz acc.nsed those who had so long delayed
the communication of a gross dereliction of duty. He
sten., it considerable length, arraigned the conduct of
Zrir-sl Amherst, and concluded by inquiring whether the
Chairman could give him any new intelligence with re.
evict te.the Burmese war? and whether any steps had
been taken to remove Lord Amherst from India

`The CHAIRMAN replied, that all the information
which had been received relative to the Burmese war,
1.:41 been communicated to the public through the
newspapers. With respect to the Indian Government,
a considerable change bad taken place in it. Mr. liar-
7:rgton was now a Member of the Council, which was
rftt previously the case.
After some farther observations from Lieutenant-Colonel Stan-
-1:-Te. Mr. Hume, and blr. G. Smith, the Court adjourned.
