CITY OF LONDON TAVERN. 11lay 7, iota. .Pi T a' MEETING of the MERCHANTS, TRADERS, and Others, - of the Port of Lordon, Wrested,in the East .India and China Import Trades, held at this House the k.3d day of April last. .The Right ►ion. the LORD MAYOR, in the Chair; The folluvviog Petition was read, approved, and very nu- Merously signed. _and has since been presented to the two Houses of Parliament. To the Honourable the Commons of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland in ParliaMent seznbred. The humble • Petition o% the undersigned Merchants, - Traders, and Others, of the Port of London, imeres:- ., . ed in the East India and China Trades. Slieweth. - That for a long series of years the East India and China Trades have been exclusively carried on to and from the efort et London, under the express provisions of various Ads of Parliamert made for that purpose, both before and since the partial opening of the-Trade on the last renewal of the East India Company's Charter. That under the regulations of those Als, and the restric trielions thereby introduced, numerous classes of his Ma-` jeAy'S subjects have established themselves, in London in different - branches of business conneeted with the'East India and China Trades, and have, for the purpose of carrying on the same, fortned extensive establishments and embarked • large capitag. , That Tor the ptirposes of this Trade, as now carried on by the East Ityilta Company, and by In.tividuals, Ware hobtses have bean built in tne Metropt;lis, 'and Wet Docks hive been formed' in its vicinity at an immense expense, and very large sums have been invested in the Shipping sm. ployed thereiri,.almost. wholly by persons in London, and those immediately concerned: in the Indian and China Tradrs. That your . - Petitioners are informed - by the printed votes of your nth - mumble HodSe, that numerous applications have been made from the Out ports and Provincial ToWns of the United Kingd:►n; that the East India and China Trades may be allowed to 1 4 carried on to and •troin suclr Out_ ports, should, those 1 radcs be still , farther laid open at the expira,tion at the East India Company's present Chirter. . That,yotir Petitioners feel. themselves deeply interested in any measure of this extended nature as the same must ma terially all'ect them in common with the numerous classes and desCriptiOnS of persons now erigaged in, these "Trades; which, whether confined as they now are, or Under any ex. teusion thereof,. must necessarily form the means of sup port to those who have - embarked therein, and . to whom any removal or dispersion of the Trade will be highly injurious and detrimental. .That the experience of many years has proved that the -Legislature, by confining to tire Metropolis the Trade of, In dia and China, liss' beneficially crzated one large and open Market ; enabled Purclia..ers to meet in one point preserved to Importers the full benefit of competition, and to Pur chasers the advantage -of the greatest assortment, and the best opportunity tor their respective selections, a;.d that by means thereof the. Revenue has been most effedually se cured, and materially benefitted. That by the present method of conduaing the IMport Trade, and its beiag confined to the Port of London, smug .glitig is prevented. and the ad valorem duties are collected, not only with the utmost exactness and tacility, but on the .fulVvalue-of. the commodity, and at the least possible ex pence to the Natroti. - - Whereas, should the Import - Trade • be - disporsed, smuggling could not be prevented, and not only would the .Revenue be exposed to this loss, now so ef fettually guarded againSt by well proved Regulations in the ColleCtion; but the duties paid, .ad valorem, would be ma , teriallY diminiohed by the want of those regular Markets and concentrated competition,. by which they are now aug mented. That as the most considerable part of the articles im ported from India are for toreign consumption, it has•beeit the. praCtice to make the sales in Loudon at fixed periods.of the year best t.ited to attract Purchasers from abroad, anal . to have the greatest variety of each species of goods put up to sale ,at one time, that their demands may be more exten sively suppliell, and their motives for visiting this country strengthened. But it appears to your Petitioners, that it the present salutary system should be changed, it would be im possible so to regulate the sales,at the dilii:rent Out-ports in, point et tune or assortment of g :oils as to induce the toreign l'.lerchants to come to this Country and this circumstance would nut only be a great loss to the Revenue, but would be highly detrimental to the manufacturing interests of the Country. . And your Petitioners humbly subinit- that no advantages. commensurate with these sacriti‘cs, an.: with the losses which would be sustained' by your Petitioners, and the nu merous classes of persons 'now carrying on this Trade in Loudon, will be obtained by the public at large from its dispersion in the Out-ports; and that such a radical altera tion in the system now established by law, could only in justice he ma to upon an indeninificaiion to th:ise who would be injured by the change. Your Petitioners, - therefore, humbly pray, that on any re newal of the East India Company's Charter, the•hdineward Trade Irani 'lndia and China may be continued exclusively to the Port of London.

In a CotriMittee of Privileges, their Lordships took. into consideration the Resolution moved by . the LORD CinOIdELLOR on a former evening, im .porting that the Claimant, Sir James Innes Ken-, ,Bart. had Made good his right and title to the hot nours and dignities of Duke and Earl of Roxburgh, and forthwith agreed to the same. The Committee also came to 'a Resolution, im porting that none of the parties had made good their claim to the Barony of Roxbure.ll (which, we un derstand, was never claimed by Sir J. 1. Kerr). The House then resumed; and ordered the Re port to be received on Monday.- A number of Petitions (fourteen, as we could eolith) were presented by' the' MaiquiQ WELLES, LEY, from various Ship-OwnerS, Tradtr,, Arttficers; &e. of the City of London, interested in the Ttade to India and China, and praying that the Trade, as heretofore may be confined to the P o rt o f London. The Petitions were severally ordered to lie on. the table. ORDERS IN COUNCIL. The Order being read for the House to resolve it self into a Committee, to take into consideration the various Peltition'S relative to this suhjea, Lord WA LSI NGH.ANI accordingly took the Several witnesses., principally from the Town and neighbourhood of BirMinghain, were examined at great length by their Lordships. The House then resumed, and the Commirtee was ordered to sit again at fi v e _ o ' c l oc k on .Mo nday vening. USHER OF THE BLACK ROD. Earl GROSVENOR rose to call their Lordships' at tention to this office, one.of the principal ones ap pertaining to that House. He adverted to what had transpired of the spbjed being taken up in the other House of Parliament; it became, therefore, be thought, the mote worthy of their Lordships' seri ous and speedy attention. The respealable persru Who now filled the office, was known . to be in a tery indifferent state of health. The emolutnents, , .he understood, were very Considerable, and he was of opinion their LordshipS should be put into pos session of some precise information previous to any regulation being determined on wAli respell to the offiCe. Upon this question he would not then enter, but their Lo . rdships were aware, that the emolu ments since the year 1800 had been regulated; they now, he understood; amounted to about 40001. per annum. What he now propoied; was necessary, previous to any farther regulation of these emolu men4. The Noble Earl conclud e d b y moving an Address to his Royal Highness the Pt ince" Regent, requesting that a Copy of the Appointment to the Office of Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, to gether with an account of the etholuments of - it.e said office for the last ten years, might be laid be. fore the House. The Earl of LIVERPOOL did not objea to the re- Quested information, being communicated ; but lie entertained doubts as to the preferable- mode of pro. ceeding. .E4ll GROSVENOR observed, that were the-present motion agreed to by their Lordships, it would be proper to follow it up by an* Address to the Crown - , that -a successor might not be appointed in case - of the death of ,the person who now filled the office, until is'should be ascertained what the proper salary would be to an' ex to the employment. This he thought it would be Erruper to Jo, as in the case of a successor being immediately appointed, he might naturally expect a continuance of the present,emo !lament S. Earl FITZWILLIAM said a few words, the-purpo e of which, as we could bear, was, that the office in question requited regulati'on, but that no abatement mien to be made of the emoluments of the person now in legal posstssion of 'the office; and he - thought the Lunde of Address the preferable way of pro ceeding. The Earl Of. BOCKINGHANISIITRE said, he should not so readily acquiesce in the motion proposed by the Noble Earl, it he thought it v% as to be tot thl.vith followed 'tip by such a motion as that he had subse- T,ently adverted to, without the usual notice being given. Earl GREY was of opinion, that the office allu2ed to required to be regulated, and that it was a ques tion which, under the circumstances, could not hi4 , e escaped the considerati,.n of the Hous. The Earl of HARROWEY thought that such a mo tion as that of which the Noble Earl had-given,what may be called the first blush, should not be entLf tained without some previous notice. Earl GROSVENOR shortly explained.. • LordHOLLAND Could by no means subscribe: to the dodrine laid down by Noble Lords opposite, as to the necessity of notice in such cases as that it) quest ion ; that objetiion alone could not constitute a sufficient ground for their not proceedin g , it mere ly referred to the mode. For his part, approving as he did of the -principle or. regulation, he thought no time should be lost in proceeding to take the neces sary steps for that purpose. The question_ being put, Earl Grosvenor's motion, as above, was agreed to by the House. The Bills ur.on the tabie, chiefly of a Private or Local nature, were torwarded in their respec;tive stages. An Officer of the Bank of England presented cer tain. Accounts from that Cot poration, pursuant to a recent Order of the House, which were laid on the table. Adjourned till to.rnouow,
