LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HAVING been encouraged to offer myself, on the first favourable opening, as a CANDIDATE for the distinguished office of a DIRECTOR of your A fiiiirs, I have only been prevented hitherto from publicly announcing my intention by the apprehension that such a step might be considered premature while I was still connected with a Com mercial Establishinent in India. That connection, however, having now terminated, I shall take the earliest possible occa sion of waiting on you individually, and soliciting the favour of your. Suffrages. I went out to . Bengal as a Writer in the Honourable Coin. pany't Civil Service in the year 1802 l • and, during t h e ear l y period of my resiflence i n I n di a , held for some time an appoint ment in the Comniercial Department, in which I was fortunate enough to obtain a very flattering testimonial of my conduct from my Superior in office. In the year 1007, I quitted that employment for the purpose of joining the House of Alexander and Co. of which I continued an active Partner up to the period of my embarkation for England in December, 18111. With the experience necessarily acquired in these different situations, during the sixteen years of my life which I pawned in the Honourable Company's territories abroad, I would fain hope that I shall not be found altogether unprepared for those itn. portant functions which it is my ambition to undertake. And should you eventually hoifour me with your choice, I may at least venture to assure you, .that my time shall be faithfully devottd, and the best of my humble abilities honestly applied to the promotion of your interests and those of the extensitv regions over which you preside. 'avail myself of this opportunity to return my cordial ac knowledgments to those personal friends fo r w h ose prom i ses of support I am alr ea dy indebted, and without whose counte. mince 1 should never thus have ventured to obtrude my preten slm on the Proprietors at large. 1 have the honour to be, Ladies and (;entlenien Your faithful and ' obedient Servant, London, 32, Upp er Harley.streetHENY ALEXANDER. , oth ß March, 1823.

On the Order of the Day for taking into consideration his Majesty's Message delivered by the Earl of I..avEht.oot, the Message was read. It stated—" That whereas his Majesty had been informed that doubts had arisen as to the powers vested in his Majesty for disposing of such real, copyhold, anti leasehold property as his Majesty had been entitled to at his accession to the Crown, and also to the powers vested in his Majesty's suc cessors for dispoing of such similar property as they should be entitled to ut their accession. His Majesty reconunended the House of Lords to take the subject into consideration, and to make such provisions therein as to them should seem proper." The LORD CHANCELLOR then said, he addressed the House in the absence of a Noble Earl, who gave notice yester. day of the consideration of this subject, for the purpose of Mov. ing an Address. to his Majesty, in answer to his most gracious Message. The respect with which their Lordships always acted in the consideration of Messages from the Crown, would induce them to concur in the motion. The object of the Mt%. sage was certain real, copybold, and leasehold property. which Came to the possession of his Majesty before his Accession. It would be in the recollection of the Rouse, that by the 39th and 40th of the late King, a power was given to his Majesty,. to dispose of lands which had come to his possession, nut being domains of the Crown. There was hardly any . species of pro.; perry belonging to the Cro w n, w hi c h, itnller the Act of Anne, could be alienated. With respect to the property of hi s Ma jesty, it became on hi s accession subject to jut corome t and with a view that their Lordships might have an opportunity of taking into consideration the propriety of removing alt restraint in the disposal of it, the Noble and Learned Lord moved an humble Address to return his Majesty thanks for making his gracious commnication, and to inform him that the House would consider his right to dispose of property which came to hispossession before his accession to the Crown, with a view of making such provision as m a y b e p ro p er . Lord ELLEN BOROUGH, as the address was a matter of form, did not wish to make many observations on the subject; be would not, however, abstain from saying that he was not friendly to the enactments of the Bill alluded to by the Noble and Learned Lord. The public having paid the debts antis Majesty, he considered they hail a claim on property which he possessed before his accession. The question which most arise was one of some importance ; and when ft came re g ul ar ly b e . fore the House, h e should feel himself called upon to state his pbjection.. The Address was then carried sun dist. On the motion of the Earl of Silarrmsnuay, the House AdjOUrned to Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. At half-past three the Douse was sumMoned to attend tha House of Peers to hear the Royal Assent given by Commie sion to several Bills. 11ITSCEMA NEO US. • Mr. POYNTZ presented a petition from certain Ilop growers in the parish of Woodyntore, in the county of Sussex, against the Hop Duty.—Ortlereti to be printed.

Also for a return of the names, and residences of all Sur veyors of Taxes who have been allowed to follow other oc cupations at the time of holding melt offices.

They prayed a repeal of the Assessed Taxes; and, in addition to a further reduc don of the Tax on Shop Windows, they asked to be re. Belied from the pressure of the House Tax upon houses em. played in trade. lie wished be could, consistently with his own judgment, support their wishes, and endeavour to per. suede the house to adopt them also; hut he thought that even the Petitioners would soon be persuaded themselves that they had proceeded on a wrong principle in making this demand. As such ho u se s were inhabited as dwellings, they could not. justly be reli eve d w i t h out a total repeal of the tax. lie re grette4 that he could not suppOrt the Petition ; but, he could assure the Muse that it came from a most respectable body of men. Sir W. DE CRESPIGNY, made a few observations upon the unequal assessment of such houses. General GASGOYNE said that his Right lion. Colleague had mistaken the object of the Petition, as to its praying a re peal of the Aseessed Taxes. What the Petitioners wanted was a revisal of them, and the alteration of certain parts. There was one regulation of which they particularly complained, as to the tax upon persons employed in shops. As the law stood they were all exempt under tho age of fourteen ; but that was an age at which they were of little use, and the Petitioners were anxious to have the period extended to eighteen. lie was aware that, as his Bight Honourable Colleague had stated, there could not be an alteration in the House Tax without a total repeal. But what Was chiefly felt as a grievance was the circumstance that merchants' warehouses were exempt, when the only difference between them was, that from the goods being of a different nature,: they were obliged us sleep in the. house to take care of them.. lie did not auk Government to re peal more than they had repealed in amount, because he was satisfied with what they had done ; but by atten di ng to the mi. nuthe Of these regulations, great relief might be atlorded with out loss of revenue. Mr. HUNIII thought the Right Hon. Gentleman could not have read the :petition with attention, or he would better have understood the meaning of the Petitioners. Ile wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon what principle he refused to take off a po tion of the House Tux from shops, when he had already taken off part of their 'Window Tax. The distinc. tion betwixt Merchants` warehouses and the poor man's shop, because the former could aftbrd another house to live in, was moat unjust and oppressive. Mr. HUSK ISSON rose for the purpose of setting himself right in respect to the charge which had been suede by the Hon. :Ileml.)er for Aberdeen. Ile had not only _read the Pea , . Hon with the greatest care and attention, but likewise the Re.. solutions upon which it was founded. These were put into his hands when he was recently among his Constituents, and they pointed out the reduction of the Tax upon Shop iVindows.._.. The petition WM orcLred to be printed. Sir T. ',ETU BIDGE rose.to move for leave to bring, in a Bill to enable Magistrates assembled in Quarter Sessions, to define the divisions of Counties, and thereby to facilitate the free administration of justice. The SPEAKER informed the lion. Member that his mo tion could not have precedence of the orders. Sir T. LETIIBRIIAID said, that he had inquired of an. Hon. Secretary opposite, whether his motion- could take prece dence of the orde rs , an d had received his assent. The SPEAKER observed, that he had only interfered to protect was. for the Muse to decide as it thought proper.,-The motion was not pressed. KING'S MSSE. Mr. E AG r. Secretary PEEL moved the order of the day for the House going into a Committee upon the Royal Message relat ing to the Lands and Property of the Crown. The House having resolved itself into a Committee, Mr. Secretary PEEL rose to move that the Chairman be in structed to move for leant° bring in a Bill, the object of which he should briefly state to the House. By an Act, passed in the reign of Queen Anne, the power of the Crown to alienate real property was restricted. By a subsequent Act, passed in the year 1799, the restrictions of the former Act had been removed as far as regarded the private property of certain description. That Bill had been found defective, and the object •of the one now proposed was to suppls , a remedy for its defects. The King might be possessed of property when he came to the throne, anti there was this anomaly in the existing law—that it disposed of property which the King had acquired, not only as King, but as a subject before his accession to the throne. The object of the present Bill, therefore, would be to give the same right to the King over property which he had pos. sesscd as a subject, as . that which he h a d ove r pr i vate pre- perty acquired as Every one must see the reasonable• ness and justice of this measure, and he should therefore con tent himself with moving—'.' That the Chairman be directed to move the House for leave to bring in a Bill concerning the dis position of certain property belonging to his Majesty, Isis heirs, and successors." Mr. HUME referred to a question which he had put to the Right Hon. Gentleman last Session, as to the disposal of the property of his late Majeety. He was eventually told that a will had been made, but that it was n ot considered legal. Ile wished to know w h et h er t h at was to be considered in the same point of view, or to be distinguished front private property which had been acquired, such as the pavilion s.t Brighton. Dir. Secretary PEEL was glad the question hid been put, because it was necessary that there should be a full and clear. understanding of the measure. The property enjoyed by his Majesty from the late Ki ng , wou ld not be treated as property privately acquired, because it was property which he pool s:stud jure aquae ; and it would not therefore be affected ay the present pleasure. • • After an Inenclible remark from Mr. SCA/ILE:TT, the House resumed, and leave was given to bring in the Bill. it Message from the Lords, announced their • Lordships' as_ pent to cernim Mr. 11. SIT3INER presented a petition froth the Parish of St. John ? HorselydoWn, preying for leave to bring in a regulate its Vestry. ' . .NA V V ESIMTES. Sir a. CLERK, gave 'oder, T A that he should bring forwatd the Navy Estimates in the Committee of Supply on Friday next. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. Upon the Order of the Day beings read for going into 4 Committee of Supply to consider the Army Estimates, 111 r. CItEEVEY said, that as above six millions of money. were about to be voted away by the thinnest House which he had seen during the Session, he thought it ri g h t to makesfew observations before going into the Committee. And. he should first remind the House, that the country was at present afflicted with a dreadful eakunity, called Agricultural Distress., That every day saw thousands upon thousands going to ruin. Nay, tens of thousand upon tens of thousands, he might lass,,, In fact, there was a complete revolution of property going fore ward. The prayers of the people were constantly offered up for retrenchment and economy, for relief front the distress oe.. casioned by the changes in the currency . , for the abolititin of all sinecures and useless offices. He considered that there conics be no prayer so reasonable, and no time for remindin g the 'louse of such prayers ; is when they were called upon to vote six millions for the millitary expenditure of the-year, whereas the expenditure of 1792 only amounted to two millions. The Ministers had the means of reducing this sum by cutting dowo, sitiecures, anti by accommodating salaries to the fall of priete owing to the alteration in the currency. De wished to put his sentiments to this'efXects upon the Journals, and he sheep move an Amendment for that purpose. The lion. ,earlier then begged leave to propose an amendment, by moving the _Resolution, which he would now rend : " Itesaleed—That it appears in this House, from the estimates laid before it for the service of the Army fur the present year; that they amount w 6,0114,8981. 24.10 d., exclusive of the Anny Extraordinariet, which of late years have amounted to 1,000,000/. more, whilst the sti,splies for the Army in 1792 amounted only to 2,3;f1,1491.; that in the present stet.' tine paralleled distress and ruin in which the Agricultural Inter:ate of these kindonis are involved, it is the bounden duty of this Douse to reduce the Estimate* for the different puldic services of the year. to as near the attiount of 1792 as the safety of tale State wilt admit; and above all, that it is the bounden duty of this Douse to accede to the universal prayers and petitions cd the people, in reducing all salaries or allowances, of whatever description, which were augmented in consequence ofthe late depreciation in the value of the cur:ency, in abolishing all rise . curee and useless offices, in reducing the gaieties of all such offices as are overpaid, end in regulating, upon priociples of the strictest economy, all such other offices, the duties of are now performed by Deputy." In desiring to record thus. Resolution, he did not think Ili was asking for any unreasonable concession.
