advantages greatly outweighed the risk, and he saw no

41 50,0001. for what education ?" .
Mr. Husce---" For education in some of the Indian
•languages."
Mr. Lowooss.—" An Asiatic and luxuriant price
for doodles indeed."
Mr. Howe said, that his objection was not so much
to the sum expended, as to the system upon which it
was applied. He referred again to the liberality which
Dr. Gikhristbad 'always displayed, and the enthusiasm
with which he bad devoted his talents to extend the
knowledge of the native languages, quite regardless
of personal considerations. .It was the wish of the
Doctor, that instead of 3 guineas, the sum now paid
by medical students for the course of lectures, the
price should be only one guinea, and the instruction
extended to all those sent out to India by the Com-
pany. By that course they would have the adtantage
of this most essential branch of 'guidon being gene-
ral among their servants, andat a price which brought
it completely within the reach of those whose means
were the most limited.—(Hear.)
Mr. R.JACISON expressed his entire concurrence
in every thing which had fiillea from his Hon. Friend
respecting the merits of Dr. Gilchrist. whose services
he highly extolled, end the value of which to the Com-
pany's servants in lades, he thought of the most pa-
ramount importance.
The CUAIIIMAN said, in explanation. that both at
Addiscombe and Haleybury, there were professors of
Ilindostanee. so that that particular language was by
Itn means, as the Hon. Gent. wbo spoke immediately
before the last supposed. neglected in the collegiate
education of their officers. To show that both their
military and civil servants were required to study
Ilindostanee, he reerred to a complimentary expres-
sion used by the Marquess of Hastings in a speech he
made at the college of Fort-William in the year 1819,
when he alluded to the education of the students who
came out from Haleybury, and pointed out Mr. Lind-
say who was at the head of the Persian class, and 4th
scholar in Hindostanee. The Chairman then admitted
in the fullest terms the merits of Dr. G., to whose pen-
sion of 3001. a year the present resolution would add
3501. more, but said that various opinions were held
upon the propriety of the general requisition for rum-
palling all the young men to reside two months in
London, before they were sent to their ultimate
destination.
Mr. limey a'.a.) spoke upon the value of a system
of education which diffused a knowledge of the native
languages among the Company's servants.
Mr. LOWNDZS also enforced the same topic.
A Paorateroa (whose name we could not learn).
stated, that immense advantages were in point of re-
*sone derived by the Company from the edscation gaga
Dr. Gilchrist had given some of their servants, and
the consequent facility they had acquired of knowing
the natives and their habits.
After a few explanations from the preceding speak-
ers, the resolution respecting Dr. Gilchrist was put,
•and unanimously agreed to.
The CH AIRMAN then proposed, for the adoption of
the Proprieturs, a resolution for the Court of Directors
of the sth instant, granting to Mr. John Mode Pelly,
of the Bombay. Civil Establishment, the sum of 20001.
upon the grounds therein stated, which grounds
shortly were the part remuneration of the individual
named in the resolution for a heavy less which be bad
under peculiar circumstances, incurred by a contract
in India.
Mr. Ilene said that he had not read the documents
in this case, and should therefore postpone his opinion
until the second reading of the resolution at their
next meeting. He could not, however, help saying,l
that nothing was more improper than the practice of
the civil servants of the Company having any con-
nexion with their commas.
Mr. Rigor called the attention of the Court to the
case of Messrs. Thomson and Co., wbo were fined be-
cause the frost in the river prevented their delivering
a contract on a given day, and where the Company
sustained no loss whatever.
The Daetrry Cuatassan said, that though there
was no actual loss. there had been a great inconve-
nience in the delay of loading a ship at the bottom of
which the.contract (iron) was to be stowed.
A long conversation arose upon the point of order
whether Mr. Rigby could discuss the forfeiture upon
the one contract. when the question was the IMMO-
. neration for another; and it terminated by Mr. Rigby
giving notice of his intention ona future day to bring
the subject again before the Court.
The Resolution respecting Mr. Pally was then put,
and agreed to ; -Mr. If. 'action, Mr. Rigby, and Mr.
Heine reserving to themselves the right of expressing
their opinious apes the subject when• lutroduced (as
it must, according to the standing order) on the next
Court day.—The Court then adjourned at 4 o'clock.

MARKETS.

WATIMFOUD, SlPT.24.—Last week the receipts of
corn from farmers were almost Immense. However,
they seemed on Saturday to fall off. Perhaps the de-
crease may be owing to the decline in our markets.
The currency of Saturday was—Wheat, inferior. 90s.
to 255., and muck neglected—prime 275. to 295. in
request ; Barley still continues so scarce that quota-
tions might be considered almost nominal; it now
rates from 9s. 6d. to 11s.; Oats, 9s. to 10s. Gd.; Flour
of all descriptions still continues stationary, except
old prime Second Flour, which seems to advance, and
rates now 461. to 435., some ask 495. and Ws., and in
a few instances these prices were obtained, for export.
New Flour Is still very scarce, so that quotations with
respect to it seem almost aenditall New Second Flour

LONDON:
THURSDAY SVENING, SIPTHRIBER 27, 1821.
Paris papers of Sunday arrived last night, and of
Monday this morning. In the former was an article
from Frankfost, containing a Erman from the Grand
Seignor, addressed to the new Greek Pktriarch, in which
he orders him to assure the insurgent Greeks of a com-

plete amnesty, in case they return to their obedience.
The papers last received contain an article from the

. .
Austrian Observer, which announces as official news
fru= Constantinople, of the date of the 25th of August,

the same date as the accouots which last reached Eng-

land, that the &mans and orders issued by the Go-
vernment, together with the appeal made by the Pa-
triarch to the Greek nation, had produced the effect
expected. The article proceeds to state that public
tranquillity was entirely re-established at Constanti-
nople, in so much that the merchants and artisans, of
whatever nation they might be, bad resumed their
ordinary occupations, in security, even in the most
seqnestered quarters of that vast capital. The 19th ofAug.

there was read in all the Christian churches a pastoral
letter of the Patriarch, who assures the Greelc popula-
tion of the protection of Government, and who, at the
same time, recommends tranquillity. An order had
been sent to the corps of Janissaries to evacuate the
principalities on the left bank of the Danube, those of
%Vallachia and Moldavia. There has not occurred
any remarkable event in the Peloponesus. The
Turkish commanders appear to count more on the ef-
fects of the discord which reigns among the Greek in-

habitants of that country, than upon the military
operations which they might undertake at this time.
Every city is in a state of quarrel with its neighbour,
and they reckon as many Generals of an army that has
no existence, as there are cities in the Peloponesus.
The most part of the armed ships in the Archi-
pelago turn out to be little better than pirates.
iMany such instances have occurred of late, among
which are cited the following two as the most remark-
able. An English ship, fitted out from Liverpool,
having sailed from Alexandria for Co nstantinople, bad
the misfortuse to be met by one of these armed pirates
in the Gulph of Spessia. It was taken to the little
Island of Cow, situated between Candice and Rhodes,
a short distance from Scarpento. A Turkish family
oft thirteen persons coming from Egypt were massa-
cred at Coso in the most cruel manner. The English
Captain found means to escape, and gain Alexandria,
where he gave an account of the affair, which deter-
mined in the PACRA of Egypt to put an embargo on
all European vessels, in order to save them from a si-
milar danger. An Austrian vessel, coming also from
Egypt, had on board several Armenians, on their re-
turn from the Holy Land. This vessel also fell into
the hands of Buccaneer ; the vessel and cargo were re-
spected, but the Armenians who were found in her
were seised, dragged ashore, abused, and plun-
dered of all they possessed. The Chevalier Zea
Bermudez, Ambassador from the Court of Spain,
had on the 16th of August, his first audience
of the Grand Vizier, and was received with the usual
ceremony. A fire had broke out the 21st of August
at Pere, in the quarters of the Turks, near the Seraglio,
inhabited by the pages of the Grand Seignor. A part
of the mosque, and nearly sixty houses fell a prey to
the flames. Commercial letters speak of a victory
gained by the Greeks, united with the Thessalians,
over the troops of the Pacha of Salonica, near Cassan-
dra. It was a very bloody affair.
An article from Lisbon, of the Bth of Sept. says, that
the ministry was about to be changed. General Pm.
pleura who is to be Minister of war, is well known in
France, where he served under Napoleon. The Minister I
whohad held that office, as well as he who bad been Mi-
nister of mail°. bad previously resigned.
An article from Madrid, of the 13th inst., states that.
General Morillo would be re-established in the functions
of Chief Governor of Madrid, and Captain-General of
New Castile. D. &wishes Sanchez Salvador is ap-
pointed Minister of war. Gen.Urimaretz was about to be
condemned to death for the cause of ultra royalism. Gen.
Guillaume is said to have been arrested on the 9th
instant, at Valencia. His papers have been seized-
This General recruited with much activity in that
province, for the corps that was to proceed to conquer
France. Riego arrived at Lerida, the place of his
destination, on the 7th instant. The municipality
of Madrid has notified that his Majesty has caused
it to be intimated that in a few days he would retire
to the capital. The apprehension of epidemic disease
had caused great consternation at Tortosa. The
Government were proceeding to send two physicians to
Barcelona, to point out the mode of treating the per-
sons attacked with the yellow fever.
The Preneb papers contains various articles respect-
ing the visits of our King on the Continent. His Ma-
jesty is not expected at Paris before the 15th of No-
vember. On his return from Hanover, it is said, the
issegtaito under which his Majesty travels wiN 'be re-
movid, and he will be received isi Fromm in t manner
