Thesiger, bearing date 20th May, 1845, to the effect that proxies held under the Charter of the Madras Bank were only legally available for a particular meeting, and are now startled to find that the same learned authority has since given an opinion of a directly opposite tendency. We here subjoin these two formal opinions of the chief law officer of the Crown: COPY OF OPINION TWO. 1st. We are of opinion that a proprietor in the Madras Bank may by proxy authorize another proprietor to vote on his behalf generally, and that such a proxy will be valid for successive meetings. We consider that proxies of this kind are authorized by the 21st section, and think that no difficulty or question is raised in that section by the words "entitled to vote at any general meeting." Those words are correctly introduced, since the section does not apply to proprictors of one share only, or to proprietors of less than six months' standing. We are also of opinion that the 19th section does not limit the number of proxies which any proprietor may hold, and we are also of opinion that the 21st section does not require the objects of a proxy to be specified, but that a proxy may be general, authorizing the nominee to vote on all objects. None of the above points appear to us to admit of any serious doubt. 2nd. There might be some difficulty in bringing the points in question for judicial decision, We conceive that it could be done only in case some decision of the proprietors depended on the validity of votes of the kind objected to. In such a case, we think that upon a bill being filed by some of the shareholders, on behalf of themselves and others, against the directors, praying to restrain the directors from carrying the disputed resolution into effect, the Supreme Court would give its decision on the validity of the votes. With reference to some points which might arise on such a bill, it may be useful to refer to Walworth v. Hott, 4 my and Cr. 635, and Fairthorne v. Weston, 3 Hare, 392-2, and the authorities cited in those cases. Title 3rd. We think that proxies executed in the United Kingdom do require a stamp. We think it must be considered that such proxies are within the Statute 55 George 3rd c. 184, scbd. part 1st. "Letter of Attorney." And we think (though the point is not free of doubt) that questions as to the sufficiency of the stamp might properly be raised in India. See Alves v. Hodson, 7 T. R. 241. The above Statute has recently been modified, as to proxies, by the Statute 7 and 8 Victoria, c. 21, schd. 1-6 and 7; and it may be useful for us to observe, that we think those provisions of the latter Sta. tute which respect proxies would be held to apply only to British companies, not to the case if a company in India, and that this latter statute leaves proxies of the latter description to be governed by the previous law, (Signed) FRED. THESIGER. LOFTUS WIGRAM." health, notwithstanding the protracted nature of the voyage, extending, to a period of 114 days. The last division of the gallant 2nd is on board the Duke of Roxburgh, which ship sailed on the same day with the Worcester from Chusan, and may, therefore, be looked for hourly. The 2nd regiment Native Infantry have now been nearly four years absent from Madras, and we believe none of our regiments have been so long abroad. A portion of this corps embarked for Burmah in November, 1841 (when war with the Burmese was expected), and returned from Moulmein in time to rejoin their regiment, then under orders for China, where it has rendered such good service. The return of the 2nd regiment N. I. reminds us of our remarks in May, 1843, when the staff officers who had served with their regiments in China, until the termination of the war, and afterwards returned by order of Sir Hugh Gough, with a view to their resuming their staff duties in India, but who, on their arrival at this presidency, were ordered by the Most Noble the Marquis of Tweedale to rejoin their regiments. We find on referring to general orders that Major Shirreff has, in consequence, been longer absent from his appointment than any of the other officers alluded to the less to be regretted, inasmuch as it afforded him an opportunity of serving with much distinction as assistant adjutant general to the forces in China during active operations under the gallant Sir Hough Gough,— Athenæum, Oct. 21. At a special sitting of the Supreme Court yesterday, before their lordships, Sir Edward Gambier and Sir William Burton, Mr. J. St. Julian Carruthers was sworn in proctor and attorney. at-law. Mr. Carruthers retains his office as clerk to Sir William Burton.-Athenæum, Oct. 23. THE BISHOP.-The Lord Bishop of Madras arrived at the Presidency yesterday evening, and will, we are told, preach at the cathedral on Sunday. His lordship and family, during their stay at the Presidency, are, we understand, the guests of Sir Edward and Lady Gambier. The bishop, it is said, will remain at Madras rather longer than he at first intended, in consequence of a press of ecclesiastical business which his lordship has to attend to previous to his departure for Calcutta.- United Service Gazette, Oct. 24. THE 41ST NATIVE INFANTRY.-The 41st N.I. have been suddenly ordered to prepare for immediate departure to the northward, consequent on some lawless acts of recent occurrence on the frontiers of the Northern Circars. The regiment, it is stated, is to proceed by sea to Vizagapatam, but at this season a very unfavourable passage may be looked for. How inestimably valuable would a coast steamer be to Government on this emergency. We have not been able to ascertain the exact particulars of the disturbance above referred to, but it is rumoured that two small parties of the 37th grenadiers, one under a havildar and the other under a jemadar, were repulsed; and that the latter was obliged to lay down his arms. The Worcester, Kite, and Sarah Crisp, are tendered as transports, and have been surveyed, but as yet nothing has been decided. - Ibid. : ACCIDENT TO LIEUT. GREENLAW.-A correspondent at Jaulnah, gives the following account of a very afflicting event which occurred at that station on the 10th inst. It is my painful duty to inform you of a most melancholy and fatal accident, that two days since befel Lieut. Greenlaw, of the 32nd. Mr. Greenlaw and family were occupying the bungalow on the hill, opposite the village of Murthil, about one-and-half miles from the cantonment, for the benefit of his child's health. He invited Ensign F. of his own corps, to spend the day with him on Friday last, the 10th inst., and, as antelopes abound along the hills in connection with the one I have alluded to, they went after some, and awful to say, Mr. F.'s rifle ball, discharged towards the animals, missed its object and entered the abdomen of poor Lieut. Greenlaw, whom Ensign F. did not see at the time, passing through his back, shattering the bladder, and perforating the intestines in ten different places. He was wounded between 8 and 9 A.M., and survived till 9 P.M., apparently with very little pain, and in full possession of his senses, till he expired. I need not tell you the deep affliction into which this has thrown poor Mrs. Greenlaw, and Capt. Baker's family, who are related; and Ensign F, poor young man, is distracted, having been the cause (although accidently) of the death of his best and dearest friend." Ibid. VOLUNTEERS FOR H. M.'s 57TH.-The volunteering of the right wing of her Majesty's 57th foot will, we are informed by the Crescent, commence on the 30th inst., at Arnee, and terminate on the 1st proximo. The volunteering for the left wing, at Arcot, to commence on the 3rd, and terminate on the 5th proximo. The number of men so permitted to extend their services in India are limited in number to the extent opposite the undermentioned corps, which will thus be completed to their full establishment inclusive of the probable number of men likely SYMPTOMS OF HONESTY IN THE NATIVE CHARACTER. A Hindu having found a cheque on the bank in one of the streets of the second division, Black Town, he first of all handed it over to another, and then after a conference, the duo deemed it prudent to step over to the police, and produce the cheque before the bench. The cheque was for the sum of three hundred and odd rupees, signed by one Patabee Chetty, who identified it. A correspondent writes us, "The removals of corps have not as yet made their appearance in orders, but the following can be relied upon:-6th from Madras to Bangalore; 21st, Madras to Singapore; 41st, Palaveram to Vizigapatam; 20th, Belgaum to Madras; 49th, Vellore to Madras; 33rd, Cuddapah to Dharwar; 23rd, Dharwar to Belgaum." Messrs. Bruce and Co., the well known chemists and druggists of Madras, have erected some chemical works near Peram. boor. The first and principal object they have succeeded in making is the well known corrosive acid commonly called oil of vitriol; many other preparations are manufactured by them, for which they were wholly dependent on the mother country. The works exterior present nothing more to the eye of the beholder than a large and extensive pile, composed entirely of sheet lead, within which the acid is prepared. We trust this successful effort will lead to the introduction of other manufactories, for it is high time that something was done to improve the condition of the country.-Athenæum, Oct. 25. GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS. CONSOLIDATED MEDICAL STAFF SALARY. Fort St. George, Oct. 14.-The Most Noble the Governor in Council is pleased to notify, for the information of parties concerned, that a surgeon or assistant-surgeon is not entitled to consolidated medical staff salary for the charge of any party of European infantry inferior in numerical strength to a wing of a regiment. The words "or infantry” in the ninth line of par. 1, under the head "Regimental Surgeons and Assistant surgeons," in sec. 17, page 409 of the Code of Pay and Audit Regulations, are, accordingly to be struck out of all official copies of the book. STAFF ALLOWANCES FOR DETACHMENTS OF EUROPEAN TROOPS. Fort St. George, 17th October, 1845.-The Most Noble the Governor in Council is pleased to cancel the whole of the rules contained in G. O. G., 29th January, 1830, and the corresponding entries* in the code of pay and audit regulations, and to direct the adoption of the rules in force under the Bengal Presidency, regarding staff allowances for detachments of European drafts, recruits, invalids, and time-expired men, going from or coming to the Presidency.
