3 - EAST INDIA HOU§E. .
A Special General ;Court of Proprietors of East
India Stock was yesterday held, parsuint to inquisi-
tion, for the purpose of inquiring_whetber, 'in the pne•'
,sent state of the Honourable Company's empire in ilia
'East, the condition of the naval force called the Boob.
bay Marine was such as the welfare of the country 'and '
the interests of the Honourable Company demand: "-
fiefore the Court proteected to the btaii e;slur which
it was convened,
Colonel L Srwtruors to se, and complained ,of a
misrepresentation of a former speech of his,•which miss
representation had appeared in some of the newspapers.
He was repre,ented to have said, that there were no
"public defences" in India ; and remarks. had been
made on that false statement. But, in truth, he had
said, what he was rcady to repeat, that there was no
public, no community, no rights, no liberty in India.
As to " defences," speaking in a military sense, evert
one acquainted with that country must know, that al-
most every village in India was well suited for defence.

BONlikte MARINE.
Captain MAXIieLD then proceeded to address the
Court. Before he proceeded regularly to lay before
the Proprietors the motion, relative to the Bombay
marine, of which he had given notice, he wished, for
one moment, to draw the attention of the Court to an
anonymous letter which he had received, and in which
were contained threats again•t him, for acting the in.
dependent part he had done in that Court. The Hon.
Proprietor then read the letter. It was signed " Anti-
Meddler," and warned Captain Maxfield from taking
the course which Mr. Hume had pursued with respect
to the Company. The gallant Captain declared, that
the writer of that letter must be a post contemptible
creature. He had received a note (of pretty nearly the
same description) before ; but he could assure his anony.'
moos advisers and slanderers, that whatever they might
wine, he would still endeavour to perform his duty—.,
(Hear). The gallant Officer then proceeded to mite to
the Court the grievances under which the Bombay
marine had long suffered, and were at present' suffer-
ing. He argued, that their interests had been neglected,
while those of every other branch of the Company's
service were supported and encouraged. In conclusion,
he moved a series of Resolutions (sixteen in number),
for various papers, which he alleged, would fully bear
out the statement he had made in the course of his speech.
Colonel L. STANHorit seconded the motion in a short
speech, in the course of which he observed, that if the
system on which the Hominy marine was conducted
was not improved, it would be better to put an end to
that force altogether.
Sir J. Dime was anxious that the motion should be
withdrawn, because, on a former occasion, the Chair-
man had stated that the subject was under the consi-
deration of the Court of Directors.

The Chairman (Sir G. A. ItostssoN) repelled in
strong terms, the assertion that ti e interests of the Bom-
bay marine h.id been neglected, or that any measure had
ever been adopted, with respect to it, by which it could
be considered degraded. He begged leave to observe,
as he had done on a former occasion, that the Execu-
tive Body were anxiottsly employed in endeavouring
to ameliorate the situation of the Gentlemen con-
nected with the Bombay marine. Difficulties certainty
were interposed between their effort* nod the accons-
plishment of that- which they wished to effect; and
those difficulties, he must say, were not lessened br
the conduct of those who introduced this quostionif

the Court of Proprietors, while it sets under considews--
don elsewhere. The Hon. Chairman then adverted
to the augmentation of half-pay which had beeW
given to the marine service in India, for the purpose of
proving that the charge of neglect, which the Hon. Mo-
ver appeared to have preferred against that body,wais net
well founded. He concluded by moving an amendment,
condemning the motion as " injudicious and inexpe-
dient," inasmuch as the Chairman had, on a former oc.
casion, stated that the subject of the Bombay marine
bad been under the most serious consideration of the
Court of Directors.

The DEPUTY CHAIRMAN (the HOD. H. LINDSAY) Se.
conded the motion.

Sir C. FORM was anxious that the original motion
should be withdrawn. The declaration made by the
Chairman on a former occasion. sufficiently proved that
the Court of Directors %tete doing their utmost to ame-
liorate the situation of the Bombay marine. This was a
good ground for withdrawing the motion; and if it were
withdrawn. the amendment would fall of cour,e.

Mr. 8. 151X0111 also spoke in favour of withdrawing
he motion.

Dr. GrtcußlST advocated the cause of the members
of the Bombay marine.
Mr.Twittisa deemed it to be an act of justice, both to
the Chair and to the Proprietors generally, to support
tie amendment.

- -
Mr. %MING took the same view of the question.

Captain MAZIIELD replied. They might, he ob-
served, do what they pleased with his motion; he did.
not shrink from it ; he called for papers to prove the
statement he had made; and if those papers were re-
fused by a majority of that Court, *en the inference
must be that they were afraid of inquiry.
The original motion was then negatived.
Colonel L. STANHOPE moved that the words 44 inju-
dicious" and " inexpedient" should be omitted.. in the
amendment.

Sir C. Firms wished that nothing should be sent
forth to the world which might appear to cast a censure
on the requisitionists.
The CHAIRMAN declared that he would adhero to
the amendment. It was due, he thought, to his own
character, and to the character of theGentlensen who
were connected with bim in office. He re slly thought
it was necessary that something should be done to pre-
vent those interminable discussions, which did not tend
to the benefit of the Company, however they might
please the Gentlemen with whom they originated.
The DeetrrY CHAIRMAN concurred in all that had
been said by his Hon. Colleague, and hoped that the
Court would unanimously agree to the amendment.
Mr. PArrisoN also spoke in favour of the amend-
ment. In introducing it, the Hon. Chairman had taken
the responsibility wh. lly on himself; but he (Mr. P.)
wished to say, that in acting as he had done, he con-
sidered the Hot.. Chairman is the organ of the Court of
Directors—(Hear). lie wished to say nothing uncivil;
but this he must observe, that there al.peas ed to bei with
respect to this qtr:stion, a perversity of determination to
press it forward when it was most inexpedient to .:it it
—when, in fact, it bad been placed in the hands or
those who were most anxious to forward it, and who
Ave using their best. efforts to accomplish that 'Aida'
the Hon. Mover appeared to have so much at heart.

After some ob.erration; glum Sir C. Fusses, ssb
.bserwed iu the course 41 his speech, that he would have
