Dr. GILCHRIST spoke at some length in explanation. He had feared, as the hon. Chai man had declined on a former occasion to give him an answer to a question on this sul ject, that it was the intention of the Court of Directors to put an end to this institution, without reference to the office of superintendent. -He had never accused the Court of Directors of not expending a sufficient sum for education; ut Lord Amherst, in his address, says, "The endowments (for the purpose of education,) that had accumulated through succes ive years, have been wholly swept away by public disorganization, and diverted from the proper course." Now this charge showed at least, that formerly a great deal of money was expended to very little purpose. Perhaps, said he, Col. Lushington will say whether the sub-assistant surgeons, spoken of by the hon Chairman, and the Native doctors are the same? (To which Col. L. replied they were not.) Then have I and the hon. Ch irmán been speaking on two different points. I cannot help repeating my opinion, that if a superinten eat is not appoin ed to the institution, it will speedily sink to nothing, because what is every body's business is nobody's. The Madras esta' l'shment does not hear the slightest analogy to the Medical Institution at Calcutta. very regiment has three or four Native doctors attached to it, and these cannot be properly educated, unless schools for them are stablished. Except a fe young men who have gone through my hands, there is not one, save Dr. Breton, who can explain to the N tives, in their own language, the terms of anatomy and physic. If Lord Amherst had given too large a salary, that did not afford a sufficient reason for getting rid of the office of superintendent. It does not give me much concern to find that my motion is to be met by a direct negative. The Chairman has endeavoured to persuade the Court that I wish to cast a censure on the Court of Directors. I have no such intention. My only o1ject is to preserve the credit and character of the Company, and I am therefore desirous that this Court should act in such a way as to induce the people of India to look upon them as a liberal and enlightened body of men. I was happy to hear what had been said in explanation to day. A few years ago I might have expected such an explanation in vain, and therefore on that account, at least, I have reason to be satisfied.

The original motion was then negatived, and the amendment unanimously agreed to.

The Court then broke up.
