HOLDEN, Sec. BOROUGH OF WIGAN, IN THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER. AT a COMMON HALL, or MEETING of the • MAYOR, BAILIFFS, and BURGESSES of the Borough of Wigan, in the County of Lancaster, in Common Hall assem bled on Saturday, the 6th day of March, 11313, pursuant to due notice given to consider of the propriety of presenting Petitions to Parliament under the Common Seal of the said Borough, against the renewal of the East India Company's Charter, and in case it should be determined to present such Petitions, then to prepare the same and pass them under the Common Seal of the said Borough ; Resouvim, That the evils of Monopoly have been, by reason and expe rience, so fully demonstrat..d as to require no additional illus tration. That the exclusive privileges of the East India Company, Without producing profit to those who possess them, aggravate the common evils of Monopoly. Sovereigns of an extensive ter ritory , toe) . ruturally consider the concerns of commerce objects of Inferl r importance, villch they consign to the inefficit-nt ma otk;ament of Agents too distant for ol•servation and almost be yond the reach of controul. 1 hat though the Countries comprehended within the Com pany's f.?bart,r, comain more than half the population of the globe, the annual returns of the East India Company are very small when compared with the Commerce of the Empire, and that their exportation of British Manutactiir.s, whether consi dered in relAtioe to the '1 rade of the Country or to the lvxtent of their Foreign darker, is altogether insignificant. That the want of ilt-mand for British Manufactures in the Eastern Markets, is chief!) to be attributed to the high prices at which they are offered to sal; and that such a reduction in the price as should allow the use of them to the body of the. people, Would soon remove this subject of complaint. That the East India Company have not supplied the borne Markets on the best terms, as is manifest from the rapid increase of American Commerce With inclia and China, whilst this de pends solely upon inuividual enterprize, and would not have in• creased had it not been advantageous. That the Commercial intelligence and Capital of this Nation have arrived at such preeminence as to destroy even the plausi bility of the reasoning adduced in support of the exausive pri vileges of the c ast India Company. '1 hat a free intercourse with the immense population of Asia and the Western Coast of America when permitted to the indus try, economy, and skill of all out Merchants, cannot tail to bring a great accession to the Tiede, Wealth, and Revenue of the Lin. pre, and to raise its naval superiority to the highest pitch of greatness. That amongst the advantages which would ensue upon open ing the Trade of Ind a to individual.), we confidently anticipate a great improvement in the culture and preparation of Cotton, a r::w material of the most extensive use in our Manufactures, a T.tq quantity of which this country has been accustomed to re ceive from a Power now hostile to us ; and that by this improve ment we should, in de t riving the United States of America of a Market for their produce, diminish their power of annoying us, arid transfer to our own possessions a considerable source of weal rh. _ _ shotild there be any considerable emigration to India of the s%perabundant population of these Islands, the obvious con sequence rill he the dispersion over a great extent of territory of race Fes. rs , ing British feelings, wants and habits, by whom will not only the Commerce of this country be extended, but the mength and saiciy of India promoted, of which we are con vincid for the sanit. reason as that we consider any of our West India Is ands more secure the greater proportion they contain of White 1;11.4h:0111M _ _ That the alarm which the East India Company appears to feel for the welfere of the Proprietors of existing establishments, is much greater than the occasion warrants, though it i 3 a proof of the:r consciousinets that the disadvantageous and expensive man- ' ner in which their Trade is c:atducted, will not permit them to contend against individual Traders'on equal teems ; and that the dread lest a great number of Artificers should be deprived of em ployment, is utterly grouiniles, since we are convinced that the Port of London, which must always remain the great general Mart of Este rn productisn•, will tesell derive an ircreate of that Commerce from the dis3olution of the Conveany's Monopoly; and that at a7l events an exit osion of die Trade will, • upon the r ., .t01e, necessarily afford an increase of employne.at to the per sons in question. ILat r.l the great Commercial Nations beieg in hostility aeainst this Coentry, and by the valour of eni r fleets and forces exellided f:etr. the countries bounded by the Indian and China tha :•ade of these Resiors will now center in our Islands the err at Sterchuuse of the ‘Voritl ; and that we conceive it o be most unreasoeable, that amidst the general distress at the eotietry arising from the stagnation of its Commerce, any single Corneal:yr should avemet to grasp at the exclusive possession of a 1 rack thus enlaigul beyond all former !moods, and to which the suffering hit chants and Manufacturers of this Country have Malted as the reward of their patience and the relief of their n:stress. That the liberation of the Festern Trade frcm the Company's Monopoly, will not be effectual unless it be complete, and that all :Le Ports of the bmpire to which the Interests of the Revenue will perodt Its extension, ousht to be allowed to enjoy ec . Jally all 1:s litaLtts. _ _ ls:a a Petition re presented to breh Houses of Parliament, tr::yiag that an the exier. , tun of the Kim India Company's cx• &chive Commercial Privil,ges, they will not sutler atly i•art of shun to be true ced.

Lord ELDON presented a Petition Iron the cites of London and Westminster, signed by sixty thaw sand eight hundred persons, against the Catholic claims. Lord GREY expressed some doubts respecting the manner in which the. petition had been brou A llt about," and the signatures obtained. He by n o niealis dis.' puted the right of the petitioners to come to Parlia ment as they had done, but he did thiik that more weight and consiOeration would have been dini to the prayer of the petition, ii it had proceeded from a pub. lie meeting, at which the arguments on both sides might have been fairly and openly discussed, and the persons subscribing thereby made better acquain ted with the subject than they could be by the mode adopted. Lord ELDON observed, that he could not con ceive any method more likely to obtain the clear, dis passionate, and proper concurrence of the people to a public measure, than that which. had been chosen oa the present occasion. Notice had been sent by the Ministers and Churchwardens of the several parishes, with a copy of the petition, requiring -those who apii proved of it, to sign the same in the Vestry. The pe tition, therefore, could not be said to be carried t 3 those who v. ere to sign it, but those who approved of it; carried their own voluntary signatures. Lord MELVlLLE.presented a petition from the Presbytors of Edinburgh against the propbsed repeal of the Catholic Restrictions. 'He was not suit that the form of the petition, signed as it was, according to the custom of that Society, by their Moderator* was consonant to the usage of.P.irlia:nent. Neither was he prepared to go to the full length of sappor. ting the object of the petitioners themselves. He sub. mitted, however, that it should hit laid upon the table. Earl GREY was of opinion that the petition could not in such a form be received, notwithstanding do • high character cf the individual (Sir H. Monctiede), whose sor,nature as Moderator it bole. • • Lent 1 - 10 L LA ND argued on the same side, and' though: a precedent was necessary. It was in his recollection, that a rtition of a similar descriptive was rejected in the last Session. _ _ After some observations from the Loan CHANCEL. Lon, Lard ELLENBOROUGH, and the Duke of ATHOL, it was agreed thcf the question 'of the propriety of re ceiving the petition should Le deferred tilVritursday next—Their Lordships then adjourned till 6 quarter before eleven o'clock to-morrow (this day), when the House will proceed to Vs'estminsier Abbey, to bear Divine Service, agreeably to the order fur the obser• vance of the Geaeral Fast.

It:►ronet on that occasion. He wished to ask, it it was the Hon. Baronet's inten tion to institute any proceeding on that Petition, and it so, when? Sir F.
