Sir C. l'incr seconded the motion. He had never seen so strong a sensation occasioned amongst the merchants on Change, on any occasion, than what was occasioned on their hearing of the proposal fol.. emoving the Post-office. A meeting wa. immediately ailed, a resolution declaratory -of the inconve niences which would result from it, was agreed td, • and a deputation appointed, who waited on the Board of Trade, and laid the Resolution before the Board. He (Sir C. Price) had hoped this measure would have some effect.
