A dividend of 51 per cent. on the Capital Stock of the

_ _

A Resolution of the court of Directors, for 'Tenting
a pension of NOM per annum to Sir Ueorge Barlow,
was submitted to the Proprietors, for their approbation.
It was opposed by Mr. 111311, on the ground of in-
formality, as no evidence was laid before the Proprietors'
to shew the event of Sir G. Ilarlow's fortune, the made-
giney of which to support his rank was one of the
causes alleged in the Report of the Directors, as a ground
for granting the pension.

Mr. R. JACKSON objected to the proceeding, on the
same ground, and moved, " That the question be ad-
journed.'

The Chairman (C. M tuiontasnets, Esq.) and the De-
puty Chairman O. A. RuninsoN, Esq.) contended, that
the evident.. laid before the Proprietors was perfectly
consistent with the letter and spirit of the Bye Law.
Mr. UAwauAN took the same line of argument. and de-
s:gnated the Bye Law, under which the objection was
taken, ass most mischievous one.

Mr. HOWARTH (the Chairman of the Committee of Rye
Laws) pointed out the utility of the Law in questioa, and
sosported the amendment.
tTr. Oman? and Ur. l'ammow shortly opposed it.
(In a show of hands, the amendment o as lust by a largo
Majority.
The main question, " That the Court do agrc, with
the Resolution of the Court of Directors," having been
put, >lr. Min rose, and, in a lung
.speech. censured
the con.lnet of Sir 11. Barlow, for various acts during
s administration at Madras ; and concluded by opposing

the !notion.

MI. RIGHT and Mr. Gslt 40 VC strongly supported it.
On a ohm of hands. the question was carried in the
affirmative (subject to the confirmation of another lie.
nrral Court), only one hand being held up against it.
Theditei then adjourned.

Yesterditi a Court of Directors was held, ish-n Capt.
14fr Lea was sworn into the command of the ship Mar-
soil, of Iluntly, consigned to Bombay and China.—The
shipp Rose, Capt. dl'Taggart, arrived at Madras the 24th
