EAST INDIA HOUSII.

A Quarterly General Court of Proprietors of Bast
edia Stock was held yesterday.
• The Resolution of the Court of Proprietors of the
211th of December approving of the Resolution of the
Court of Directors of the Bth of November last, for the
cstabliAment of a New Office with a salary of 300/.
per stinuni, at the Company's Military Seminary at
Addiscombe, was confirmed.
The Court approved a Resolution of the Court of
Directors of the lit hofJannary last, granting to Capt.
0. Ross, of the Bombay Marine, the sum of 1,5001.
for tiffs eminent services in surveying the China Seas
during a paid of 14 years.
Mr. R. JACKSON requested that the correspondence
*ltich bad taken place between the Court of Directors
mid Mr. Canning, on the occasion of that gentleman's
retiring from office, should be read for the information
of the Proprietors.
The correspondence was accordingly read. It con-
sisted of a letter addressed to Mr. Canning, by the
Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Court of Di-
THUM, on behalf of themselves and their brethren,
expressing the deep regret which they felt at the re-
akrement of the Right Hon. Gentleman front the high
pnhlic situation of President of the Board of Control,
• and eulogising in the most glowing terms the line of
rondnct he had pursued while he tilled that situation ;
•sxtd the.answer of the Right Hon. Gentleman, stating
• the great pleasure heath in finding that the Court of
Directors approved,of hiliconduct while lie was at the
bead of the Board of Control.
Jaczawr, after paying a handsome tribute to
rthe.merits of Mr. Canning, gave notice, that he would,
at filature Court to be specially called, submit a mo-
tley to the Proprietors, with a view to second the sett-
*iiments contained in the letter of the Court uf Di-
rectors ; but he wished it to hr clearly understood,
that he bad not the remotest idea of proposing any
thing of a pecuniary nature.
Mr. MILLS expressed a wish that the two letters
.should be printed for the use of the Proprietors, which
was agreed to.
After a few observations from the Chairman, G.
A. Rostrisom, Esq. who, as a proof of Mr. Canning's
disinterestedness, stated, that when the Finance Com-
mittee recommended that the retiring pension to the
President of the Board of Control should be defrayed
oat of the Company's cash, Mr. Canning refused to
bring in the bill for that pnrpose, lest he might be
site first President who chanced to renp the benefit of
it—and from Mr. Hume, who complained, that as the
Board of Control was now constituted, men, who like
Mr. Canning, had by the experience of years attained
a knowledge of the Company's affairs, were obliged,
on account of political opinions, to retire front the
uSce of President, which must of necessity fall into
the bands of those who had no experience on the sub-
ject, the conversation dropped.
• Colonel STANMOrg gave notice, that lie would at
the next Court move, that there be laid before the
Proprietors all correspondence with the Court of Di-
rectors, relative to the liberty of the press in British
India. He would do this, for the ropy* of aseer-
taining what the conduct of Mr. Canning had been
o" that point.
In answer to a question from Mr. Howarth,
The CHAIRMAN stated, that the Court of Directors
hail not yet received from India those papers to which
he (Mr. Robinson) had adverted at the last Court, as
necessary to making up the accounts of the Company
to a certain date, conformably with the by-law. Strong
representations had, however, been sent out on the
subject.
Mr. HOWARTH inveighed in strong terms against
the delay which he attributed to the Governor abroad ;
and took that opportunity of inquirer'," whether the
Company were likely to have a war with the Sindeans?
The CHAIRMAN answered, that any direct inf..rma-
!ion on that subject was only communicated to the Se-
Mt Committee of the Court of Directors, who o ere
bound by oath not to reveal it ; but as far as private
accounts could be depended on, he was justified in
saying, that any threatened incursion by the Sindeans
was not likely to occur ; and he was sure the Supreme
Government had not the most remote idea of encou-
raging a war.—Adjourned eine die.

DUEL.-Our readers will recollect that charges
were lately preferred against Captain (lough, of the
Quards, by Lient. Colonel Camar, and that the Court-
martial pronounced a full and honourable acquittal.
The duel, we mentioned yesterday. was between the
brother of Captain G. and Lieut. Col. C.

.11111 KING v. THOMAS MARRS, ISQ.
This was an indictment against the defendant for a
nuisance, in obstructing a public footpath in the pa-
rish of St. Lawrence, leading from Ramsgate by the
elitism' the sea shore to Pegwell Bay.
The LORD CHIRP BARON, in his charge to the Jury,
left to them the question of fact, whether the allega-
tion la the indictment that this was a public footway
bad bean made out. As to the question of law, that
' would depend upon their verdict as to the question of
fact.
The Jury deliberated a few minutes, and found a
verdict of Not Guilty, thereby negativing the claim of
footpath.

THE RING V. SIR W. GARROW, lINT.

This was a similar indictment against the Honour-
able Mr. Baron barrow for a like obstruction ; but as
it was agreed on both sides that this case should
abide the event of the first, the question being the
same, no evidence w•as offered, and the Jury, under the
Learned Judge's direction, found a verdict of Not
Guilty. The same in the King r. Patrick Cummings,
Esq.

ratitesi With hen and then proceeded britili his new
is tell ards his night-qharters. The lodging was
said to be distant, and he was led 'big until lie
got to Thomas's-hilly a rotigh uninhabited place.—
Vibes there, one of bit Companions, the pHooner, as
he thought, staiiped before him and endeavoured to
trip him. This attempt having failed, the other
struck him on the head, and brought him down. They
beat him so with stones that he quickly became insen-
sible. When he came to himself, he was ready to
perish with cold, covered with blood, and in the state
of nudity which we have described. He ran over
Dallybricken, and entered the town again by Patrick-
street, screeching in agonies of frantic despair. He
was there met by three citizens, Mr. James Mahony,
Mr. John Madders, and Mr. Richard Adams, who
took him in care. He got a great coat from a watch-
man, and the party went back to Thomas's hill, to
search for the delinquents. All was again silence;
the pursuit was about to be abandoned, when as the
party were coming down from Hanover-street, their
ears were assailed with the uproar of another aggres-
sion. With spirit and address, they seized the pri-
soner who was running off after making on a sailor
an assault of which he was subsequently convicted at
the Sessions. Reilly knew him at once, and the party
took him to the Tower. There, and on his way there,
he was strictly silent, but was found attempting to
conceal a shoe in . sink; the other shoe and a stock.'
hir were found in the seat of his trowsers ; a bloody
shirt was in his hat; his face was bloody.
Mr. Mahony, and Heorge Neill, the Tower Con-
stable, confirmed the story of Reilly.
Verdict—Guilty, but recommended to mercy on ac-
count of his youths. The Judge merely promised to
transmit the recommendation.

MATCII TO DO FIFTY MILI*S IN NINE
Yeoman, of the name of Beningborongh, started
yesterday morning at Homerton, to do the above
match, backing himself for a hundred guineas. He
did his first seven miles within an hour, and six in the
second hour, awl kept steady at his work until he
performed half the distance in four hours and ten
minutes. lie halted ten minutes and refreshed hin►-
self, and slid eleven miles in the next two hours, when
he became much fatigued. In the sevenths hoar he did
fire miles only, and that with ',Acuity, and he re-
signed against his will, after doing forty miles in
eight hours. Ile was backed at 2to I to win after
he had gone the first two miles.
ENTRAORMINART HORNE Le te.—The bet that an
officer of the 3J dragoon guards should produce a
horse to carry his rider over a six foot ►call in a sport
in like manner, was on Tuesday decided in the pre-
sence of a great number of s:►ectators at luelsinnan,
near Renfrew. The horse, which is the properly of
Mr. ling.'', of the above regiment, cleared his leap in
an easy and gallant style, without moving• a stone,
though rode by a heavy dragoon. Considerable sums
were depending oa the issue.

Yesterday the Recorder made a Report to his Ma-
jesty of the convicts under sentence of death in New-
gate, viz.:—
Robert Mott, for forging an acceptance to a hill of ex-
change; John Collins, Thos. Dowling, Andrew M•Lock-
land, Joseph Kitsall and James Pitcher, for stealing in
dwelling•-houses •, Samuel Young, John tiodlimsn, Wm.
Robinson, and Wm. Powell, for burglaries ; Edward
Parsons, Wan. Messenger, and Wm. Dawson, for utter-
ing forged bank notes; George Barry and Wm. Powell,
for highway robberies ; Joseph Stanley, Wm. Manly,
John Harris, alias Key lock, and George Harris, alias
Keyloek, (rescue gang), for felony, having before been
convicted of felony and received the benefit of clergy.
When Joseph Kitsall, James Pitcher, Wm. Dawson,
Wm. Robinson and George Harry were ordered for
execution on Tuesday next. The others were re-
spited during his Slajesty's pleasure.

SrErni or En.tun 1./meowEarn.—Yestertlay two
men were apprehended by Wilkinson, a constable, of
Southwark, at the instance of the Southwark Bible
Association, charged with committiug numerous
frauds trader pretence of being Clerks of that Institu-
tion. They were re-committed.
M slt i.nonoroll•‘TßlFET.—.llattAias George Driseol,
who stated himself to be a tailor, residing with his
mother in High-street, St. (tiles's, was charged by
Thomis Wood, footman in the family of the Duke of
Norfolk, with having twice extorted money from him,
by cha►riing him with a crime we shall not mention.—
The prisoner denied any knowledge of the prosecutor;
hut this was contradicted by a publican, who saw them
together. The prisoner was remanded.
SHOCKINu Arcs DENT.—Two young Gentlemen,
brothers, one of whoa► is a clerk in the Bank of Eng-
land, were amusing• themselves by tiring at a mark
►with a single pistol in their garden at l'altner's Ter-
rare, Holtoway, on Sunday last. Unfortunately one
of them shot too high, and lamentable to state, the
hail entered the eye of a young lady. Miss Radford,
while standing at the drawing-ro►m window in an op-
posite house. We are given to add the hall has not
vt.t ',wen extracted, and the Lady's recovery is of
course despaired of. The young Men are now in cus-
tody and were yesterday examined at Hatton-garden
Purace oilier. •

Monday afternoon, about two o'clock, the inhabi-
tants of Faversham and its vicinity were thrown into
the utmost consternation in consequence of the explo-
sion of four buildings of the powder manufactory, at
Oarr, near Faversham, (belonging to Mr. Hall, of
Dartiod), the shock of which was so great as not
only to injure materially the other parts of the manu-
factory. but also to demolish a great part of the win-
dows of the adjacent bongos, particularly that of Mr.
Ashenlen. We regret to state that three poor men
fell victims to the dreadful accident, via. Johnson,
Read, and Hintles, each of them leaving a wife sail
family to lament his loss. A more destructive and
awful catastrophe was never witnessed in the neigh-
losserhood of Faversham, by the exploding of gum-
powder, although so many smallest's of the kiwi MOO
before occurred. The last explosion at the ailaitO
mills happened on the 3.l of October 1811, when three
lice" were lost.—(Kcia fish Chronicle.)
