King's Arms.yard, Cole. snairstreet ;--to Munn an sontassnleatitms, and applications for Shares, may be addressed. THE ohj-ct of this COMPANY is to prom , te, within the Ikitish Dominions, the growth of the several ar ticles of TROPICAL PRODUCTION, by means of FREF. LA SOUR. With respect to Indigo, this object has-been already accomplished. It was once produced solely by the labour of slaves in the West Indies and America. In cooseqoence of the application of British shill and capital to its production, nearly the whdle of that article which is now cousurned in Europe, amounting in value to about Your Whom sterling, is raised by free labour, and almost entirely in British India. A similar effect might have been expected with respect to Cotton, had the same means been employed in the same quarter to extend its culture and to improve its quality. This, however, has nut been done; and therefore the Cotton Trade of odr Asiatic Dominions continues to labour under many disadvantager. Such, nevertheless, was the impulse given to the Importation of East India Cotton, on the opening of the trade with that country, that in a few years its price throughout the world was reduced to nearly half its farmer amount. ne :t (In this extraordinary fall of price, the Cotton of India, which is of the lowest quality, was neglected, and an further atteities was paid, by Europeans, either to its culture, or to the inspnemenlekeffi its staple. Had a century coarse been pursued. it MOO be doubted that the present alarming increase in the price admit Miele might have been prevented. It is now the more important to prln vide an effectual renotsly for such an inceneenience ; and far this, India seems to bold out the only certain and permanent resource. The official value of the Cotton Goods exported from Great Britain in I see, amounts to a sum exceeding Thirty Millions ster ling. The via/stingiest and progressive prosperity, therefore, of the vast interests which are connected with our Cotton manufactures, and which obviously involve most deeply the interests of the nation at large, requires that a vigorous effort should be made to enlarge the importation, from British India, of Cotton Wool of superior quality, if possible, to any which is now grown there. Without such au e ffort, our manufacturers are likely to be reduced to very serious difficulties from that enhanced price of this indispensable article, which must be the effect of an increasing consumption with out a corresponding increase in the supply ; while a new impulse will be given to the extension of the Slave Trade and Slavery its the pienessious of Foreign Nations. It will not be denied that much may be done, by an Associa tion like the present, to counteract these evils, by stimulating the increased growth of Cciton in India, and by facilitating and en couraging the sunnitution of superior descriptions of that article, for the low, and conioaratively worthless kinds, which are new grown there. To this truly national object the attention of the TSOPICAL Fact-LAlloun Compare will be particularly directed,. Another main purpose for which this Company has been formed, is to promote the production of Sugar by free labour. The British Dominions in Asia are well adapted to the growth of this article, and are capable of supplying it to an indefinite extent ; but from the unskilfulness of the natives in the process of manufac turing it, combined with their want of capital, and the fiscal re strictions to which it is subject ; little progress has hitherto been made in introducing the Seger et that part of the world into general consumption. If effectual means, however, were adopted of ob viating these disadvantages, the Sugar Trade of British Inifia could not fail rapidly to increase. The requisite means to this end have been fully painted out in a small pamphlet published by Hatchard, and entitled ° East-India Sugar; sr, an Inquiry sespecting the Means of Improving the Quality and reducing the Cost of Sugar raised by Free Labour in the East Indies." The statements contained in it are taken from authentic documents officially furnished te the East India Company. all by them laid before the public. That East India Sugar may be made a profitable article of culture, even under all the dis advantages with which it has to contend, no one, who candidly ex amines the evidence there produced, will doubt. What is Chiefly required is, that British intelligesee and British capital should be employed to give an impulse and a right direction to the industry of the natives ; by encouraging the more extensive cultivation of Sugar ; by improving the mode and lessening the expense of its ma nufacture; and by thus, generally, raising its quality, and dindoish fag its cost, so as to resider it an article of more enlarged and more beneficial commercial intercourse with our Asiatic possessions than it is at present. The TROPICAL Fana•Lanous CARIPAWf proposes, therefore, to directs large share of its attention to the objects of promoting the addration and manufacture et Biwa by Fan-Lamm in British India, and of fat-Westin its admission into general me, not eul4l the United Kingdom, but in all other parts et the world. will be chiefly effected by introducing into India improved modes of manufacture- and by making such safe and judicious advances to the marnsfactitrers, and through them, to the adducers of the soil, as may be necessary to promote the increase at production.— Such advances as may be made from year to year, with the view of promoting the growth or manufacture of Sugar, or of any ether ankle of tropical growth, will be annually liquidated' by the cow tiglonent of the produce thus raised to the Conspeny ; when milts will arks from the usual Commissions en the saliva such Poke% and the interest chargeable en its advances. The seam which it is intended to pursue in this respect, bas had the sanction of lengthened experience. It is precisely that coarse kakit has been uniformly pursued in similar eases by the East India Company, and by the Capitalists of British India; and whisk has already proved so signally successful in promoting the said.

Proceeding en the data already referred to, and which staid telly amdrated by (*bur satisfactory testimony, it appears that the whels advance which can be for the production, for ens apple, of a too a Sugar, wato r Z i t efi front twelve to about fifteen er sixteen pounds, eves on the sopposidea, which is a very imprebee bk ape, that the mantafactuair possessed no tends if his ewe.

These Petitions Lying hoes t i med andlaid attic table, The Earl of LAUDERDALE aids that on the se. &id tending of the Bill, he sheuid move that the Peti **era be beard by Counsel at their Lordships' Bar. He would take an opportunity of stating his own sentiments on the subject when the Bill came before their Lordships at its second reading. He would hot now enter into any obiervations as to the absolute fury with which Joint Stock Companies bad taken hold of the public mind ; but be would imply express a hope that their Lordships would take effectual means to stem a torrent which appeared likely to be so injurious to the country at large, which in a time of peace seemed to threaten greater evils than any other of which he had ever heard. On a future day, be would endeavour to prove the imiorimes . tendency of those innemersble speculations—speculations - must In a great degree drain the resources of the State, and =of its principal mesas of protection in sane of war. The of those Companies had at their coornand SOO millions, one fourth of width was greater than any saw which Ministers were able torahs at one thee, dining the late contest. The Earl of LIVERPOOL felt himself called upon to say a few words on the topic now before the House, but be was desirous to be understood as not giving any opinion whatsoever on the subject of the Petitions pre sented by the Noble Earl (Lauderdale), or indeed on Joint Stock Companies altogether; that opinion he should reserve for another occasion, when perhaps the matter might give rise to a discussion in which be should feel himself bound to take a part. In a country, a commercial country, like this, he was aware that a Cdegree of speculation must always exist, and that r :speculations many advantages might arise; that more especially at a moment like the present, a mo ment of profound peace, when a large surplus capital was in the market, and the market rate of interest as low as it could well be, a speculation in money to a only unusual extent might be naturally expected to/be carried on. But the Public should be set right as to the course they were pursuing, and as to the effects which those speculations might ultimately produce. Although he was ready to declare that be had never known a period when there was a better foundation for the hope of a permanent peace, he would not say that that tranquillity might not be interrupted, and he only wished the country to reflect on the consequences of those speculations, if any sudden turn of events, even short of an absolute war, should arise, which might lead to results of an important nature, as they might affect the interests and welfare of the State. It was to this point that he wished to direct the serious attention of the Public. Their Lordships would bear in mind that on a former occasion similar causes were produe , tive of great public misery ; that the bankers throughout the country were forced to come forward and apply to Government for aid, and that aid was often granted to them through the medium of Exchequer Bills. He now wished it to be distinctly understood, that all who en gaged in speculations of the nature to which he alluded. must engage in them at their own peril, and on their ownindividual risk. It was the determination of the Government, and he hoped it would be the determina tion of Parliament, not to 'listen for a moment to any clamours for relief that might arise out of any change, if any change should hereafter take place. This deter mination could not be too publicly, too universally known. He was induced more particularly to call the attention of the House to the subject, beta** endea vours had been made—endeavours that perblips were not material—not only to engage persons in town, bit persons in the country, to embark their money ia the speculations, and that through the medium of the try binkers, while those who resided io the 0. • •A ia thine he COOS COMIT
