The Directors hereby give notice to Members whose Pre miums fall due on the sth of January next, that the same must be paid within thirty days from that date. The Premiums are payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly, on the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of October, either of which several days constitutes the commence ment of the year to MEMBERS. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth of January next, should appear, or lodge their proposals at the Office on or before that day: So various are the plans now before the public for effecting Assurance on Life, that it may, at first sight, seem difficult to make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following classification may be made :- Ist. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the Share or Stockholders. 2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions between Share and Stockholders and the assured. 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the assured only. The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver tising resorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appre ciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed 36,000/. DIRE' In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af fairs, the annual premiums of members of five years', standing have been reduced forty per cent., and a confident expectation may be entertained of an increased rate of reduction at no dis tant period. A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained on application at the Office. RICHARD. HEATHFIELD, Superintendent.

A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in rested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a berms to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual into rest. The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu rances; parties now joining will be allowed to participate in the profits at the next division, as if they had been insured for the whole period. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe• cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF TIIE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate pay ment of the premium for 5001. only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of 1001., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent., and should the policy become a claim in the interim the amount due will then be deducted : Age 20, without profits 4:1 13 0 with profits .£1 18 0 30 40 . 50 For short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and furany ages or contingencies not usually advertised, information may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau tiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, gene rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond ingly erroneous and superficial, by the present race of medical practitioners Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent y e t f r i en dly monitor, or, where debi lity has made threatening inroads, the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin, and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is in tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice, and (as in other departme n t s o f th e p ro f ess i on ) attent i ve l y concen trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for the collect treatment of sexual infirmities. " If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflec tion and extensive practical experience."--Planet. " The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and sccresy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, but alas ! for human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with out affording a remedy. It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and physical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions, can be restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange- Ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptomsindicative of consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the mind and body.''—New Bell's Weekly Messenger. " Although a newspaper is not the ordi nary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public, and not the isolated arid exclusive members of the profession, are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, and will demand that medical works for public study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality i n w hi c h the sc i ence of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally, yet very strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and requiring doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study. The tone of this book 'is highly moral, and it abounds iu well-written, harrowing, yct correct displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism. No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon, a well-told appeal , to reason, a permanent blessing. It is written in a clear, intelligent style, and is evi dently the production of a mind long and practically conver sant with the diseases of themost delicate division of the human organization."—Magnet .

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, uselr.,s, and eveti bad books. With the- tome of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to sa ti s f y us th a t the book was not one of the common stamp. Th e sc i ent ifi c v iews taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing. effects of certain depraves! habits, fully establish . their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in preof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with ,the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing aseries of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is isereeptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work. —Age. The multitude of boaksi daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take, up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, &wit as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &e., is t ru ly c onvincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many di seases , such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &C., hith erto t h e o pprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in pr oper t i me, an d su bmitt e d to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the vrork entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all claisei. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result from suet perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs. Curtis and Company are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] CHRISTMAS SOUVENIR.—At a period when the social sympathies aro ,most predominant, and the genial influence of" Home is felt in the highest degree —more espticially by "My young misses," just arrived to spend her vacation at the " Old Hall," the most ap propriate present-becomes the first subject of considera tion ; a merely useful one can afford no evidence of taste, while a present possessing no claims of utility, shows a want of judgment. To combine these requisites, we can hardly suggest a more fitting souvenir than Row land's Toilet Articles, the " Macassar," " Kalydor," and " Odonto," which, from their beautify mg effects on the hair, complexion, and teeth, are calculated to preserve a grateful recollection of the donor. The Editio Princeps of Virgil, which is now in the possession of a Neble Lord, was, a few years since, discovered in a monastery in Suabia. The jolly old monks to whom this valuable morsel belonged could not be prevailed on t. part with it for money. It, how ever, happened to be known that they were remarkably fond of hock, which came to the ear of an English con noisseur, and for seven guineas' worth of hock he ob tained this rare copy of Virgil. He afterwards sold it to a collector of books for 501., and it cost the present possessor 4001. THE LIBERALS OF SOUTH SHIELDS AND THE PUBLIC DAIL—We 'are autherised to state that the para?Taph in last weeks' Newcastle Journal relative to the South Shields Liberals, is, as Usual, an unmiti gated fak.elieoti ,that, instead of Mr. Wawn, the mem ber, refusing to advanFti money for his election expenses, the Committee returned him. some weeks ago, 50/., which he hid adVanced above what was required ; and that, instead of bei n g i n discord, the Liberals there were n ever more united, and better able to beat their oppo nents, as fusti g ated John's honest friends there well known.— Tyne Mercury: DEATH BY A .I A LL.—An inquest was held on Tuesday before Mr. Baker, at the London Hospital, on the body of James Dunbar, aged 15, an apprentice belonging to the brig Collingwood, of Ayr. From the evidence of David Calloway, chief mate of the Colling wood, it appeared that on Wednesday last whilst the vessel was lying for repairs in a dry dock at Gun Dock, Wapping, the deceased was sent upon an errand. Wit ness stood upon the deck awaiting his return, and just as deceased placed his foot upon the gangway he slipped and fell to the bottom of the dock, a depth of 25 feet. Witness, with the rest of the crew, went to his assist ance' and without delay carried him to the above hos pital. The injuries he received were fractures of both legs and severe lacerations of the scalp. He died on Saturdo , last. Verdict—" Accidental Death.". EAST INDIA HOUSE. A C eneral Court of the Proprietors of East India Stock waS . held at their house in Leadenhall-street, yes terday morning: G. LYALL, Esq., M.P., and most of the Directors entered the Court at twelve o'clock, when the minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. The documents relating to the Portuguese Catholic priests at Goa, which were laid before the House of Lords, were laid on the table of the Court. Mr. MONTGOMERY MARTIN said. he had been entrusted with a memorial to present to the Court, signed by every mercantile firm in the metropolis trading to the East Indies, representing several millions of property, and the statements it contained were so forcible and so true, that he trusted they would induce the Legislature to give them that attention which their importance deserved, and that, not in justice to India alone, but in justice also to England. The memorialists expressed their gratification at the prospect that justice will be dune to India; they pray that means may be taken to obtain a reduction upon the piece-goods of India, particularly those of cotton manufacture and on shawls. They showed that the importation of silk handkerchiefs had very greatly increased, tut not for use in this country, they being prohibited nearly by the high duty of twenty per cent.; they were imported fur the pur pose of being printed and afterwards exported. The details of the memorial were well worthy of the consi deration of the Court of Proprietors, and he trusted they would make it a question for the consideration of Par liament at a very early date in the ensuing session of Parliament. Two years ago they had presented a peti tion . tO both Houses of Parliament, nearly in the same terms as the memorial ; but it had lain almost as dead during that period, and unless the Executive of the Coon il, persevered in demanding that justice to which . the people of . India were entitled, pro bably other two years might be as unprofitably spent. The memorial indicated one most important thing—it showed that the Merchant Princes of England cowsi dered that • Company as responsible for the good governmvut. of India. That was indeed not only a most ,important, but a most gratifying thing. The trade and manufactures . of India had been utterly ruined by the .competition of ,this country, and it had been proved before the Committee of the House of Lords ; that a piece of bandannas cost at Madras 205., while a piece of the same cost only Bs. at Glasgow. Now, how could India stand against such competition ?—why, therefore, tie her further down by high protectinc , duties. A witness who appeared before the Committee stated that the manufac turers in India paid nothing for their labour, and that all they eat and drank was untaxed. Now, considering that they had several friends in the Committee, it was astonishing that a fallacy so gross should have been allowed to go before the manufacturers and labourers'of this country, because it was one which would most naturally alarm them, and prejudice them against the claims of the people of India. It was well known to every gentleman present, that the very reverse was the case—that India was the highest taxed country in the world considering her means, and that through the medium of the land lax, the salt monopoly, and others, the price of food, &c., was raised enormously upon the people, and it was right and just that the people of this country should be aware of the fact. The cotton manufacture had been almost utterly destroyed by onr competition and high duties. Sir G. Larpent, in his evidence, gave its history as follows. He quoted a paper given to him by a gentleman who had resided thirty-five years in India in the civil service, who states that, at one time, 200,000 persons were em ployed in the manufacture of the fine cotton fabrics of Dacca, in that city and its environs. "It is supposed that a much less number than 10,000 in the district now practise the art. They have all disappeared. The city is reduced from 300,000 inhabitants, to about 30,000.'—Q. 2,776. Y The statistical re turns fully bear out this testimony.. Those documents show that the quantity of cotton piece-goods imported into Great Britain from the East Indies had fallen off from—in 1814, 1,266,608 pieces, to,, in 1837, 414,450 pieces. The average value of all piece-goods annually imported into this country from India, during the five years ending with 1814, was 1,400,000 L, the value of cotton goods brought to England, and entered for home consumption during the five last years, has averaged only 2,5261., and of silk goods 9212851. per annum.—(Qs. 554 and 610) In 1815 the cotton goods exported from India were 13,000,000 rupees (1,300,0000 ; in 1832 they were less than 1,000,000 (100,0001.) In the year 1800, Calcutta exported piece-goods alone to the amount of 3,908,810 in number, and in value 1,795,887/.; while in 1835 the total number"of cotton, silk, and em broidered piece .goods received in Calcutta from the inte rior, was only 348,727 pieces, value 150,0001. The cotton piece-goods received at Calcutta from the interior in 1812, were 4,000,000 of pieces ; in 1835-36 they were only 250,000."( Q. 3,877.) We now imported only 2,000 pieces per annum, and that not for our own con-. sumption, but for the purpose of sending out to Maga dore.' Indeed, the people of this country would not use Indian cotton now. A gentleman told him a few days ago that he had sold a piece for 103., which, only a few .years ago, should have brought 50s. It was Nubted by, many whether a reduction of duty would at all revive that branch of the manufacture of India, but he was of (pinion that it would ; but, at all events, in justice to India it ought to be done. Our export to India of cotton increased most wonderfully; even within the last four years it had more than doubled. From 1814, when we exported to India 818,208 yards, it had risen gradually, till, in 1837, it was 64,213,633 yards, about a yard for every man, woman, and child in British India. Even this, however, is not all. We are not sa tisfied with displacing the complete native manufactures to this enormous extent. In . 1825, we began to return to India her own_ cotton in a state ready for weaving. In that year, the value of twist and yarn sent to India was 16,000/. In 1836, it had increased to 602,000/. In the Report of the Lords' Committee—a Report which he had good reason to believe was drawn up by the Noble Lord, whom he was happy to say was now Governor-General of India—it was a document which did him much credit as a statesman, and the position which he now filled he viewed as an augury of good to India, for there was a prospect of the views he expressed being carried into effect. That document says— " It appears to the Committee that the general prin ciple upon which commercial regulations affecting the in tercourse between the United Kingdom and the Colonial dependencies, and the mutual intercourse of those depen dencies with each other should rest, should be that of perfect equality, subject to exception only when the per menant interests of the whole - empire, or the temporary circumstances of any part of our fo reign possessiona, may seem to render such exception necessary or expedient ; that no partial favour should grant to one colony any advantage over another, either in the colonial ports, or in those of the United Kingdom; still less that Parliament should partially secure for the produce and manufactures of the United Kingdom any advantage in any colonial port over the competing pro duce and manufactures of its own dependencies; for it is the firm conviction of the Committee that Colonial pos sessions"scattered over the four quarters of the globe, and legislatively dependant on the acts of a distant Government, can only be maintained in peaceful and willing obedience, by making strict justice and impartiality the sole guides of every legislative proceeding by which they may be effected. These were noble sentiments, and were worthy of being printed in letters of gold. It was much to be regretted that the Committee of the Commons had not followed so worthy an example. Some:good had already been done; the duties upon rum and upon sugar, had been assimi lated with those paid upon those articles the produce of the West Indies. So far, well; but they had even got more. Formerly the produce of the East Indies, on being imported into Australia, and our other possessions in that quarter, were subject to the same duties as if they had come from a foreign and independent nation. By an Order in Council of May last, that unjust system was abrogated, and now the produce of India was admitted on the same terms as goods from the mother country, and that was only justice; but much remained yet to be done. For instance, Ceylon could not grow enough of rice to supply the inhabitants, without taking up the whole of the soil, yet we imposed a duty of 20 per cent. upon all rice imported there, and thereby prevented a very con siderable traffic, which under a small duty would in stantly arise between that island and its neighbours and the continent of India. Then, again, let them look at the absurdity of our regulation respecting the trade in tobacco. Mr. Melville, then Secretary, had laid it so well before the Committee that he could not improve upon his statement ; he would therefore read it : " Tobacco, the produce of, and imported from, any British possession in the - West Indies, America, or the Mauritius, pays a duty of 2s. 9d. per lb. ; if the produce of British India, it pays a duty of 35.; being the same that is levied upon all foreign tobacco, principally the produce of slave labour. With this aggravation, that as, at present, the tobacco of India is very inferior to that of the United States and Manilla, the duty bears, of curse, a much higher relation to its value than it does to the produce of those and other foreign countries. The general result is, that of 22,000,0001b5. cleared for home consumption, but .45,0001b5. are imported from British India. Mr. Melville quotes the opinion of ' parties conversant with the trade,' that if the duty wet e reduced to 2s. 9d., a very considerable consumption of East Indian tobacco would ensue. • Although,' says his informants, • ' the ship ments of East Indian tobacco have hitherto been I cry limited to this country, we liave obtained sufficient knowledgo of the quality that -- Might be produced ; and we have no hesitation in stating, that if more care were taken in the ,cultivation, and the sorts of to bacce cultivated, a very superior description might be grown, and to an extent quite sufficient, even in the finer descriptions calculated for cigars, to supersede the use of Colombian tobacco and second-rate qualities of Havannahs ; of which sorts the number of pounds clear ed for home consumption generally averages 36,0001b5. per month, with a gradual increase' (425) ; and there is little doubt that, as in the case of coffee, the reduction of duty would result in such an increase of consumption as .would effectually pro tect the revenue from loss, it not improve it." — Why should we receive our tobacco from the slave-hold ing States of. Virginia or Maryland, yet impose such a heavy duty. upon it when it came from our own country, where it was the produce of free labour? Surely that statement was so explicit as to convince every one of the PRICE 5d absurdity of the course we had pursued, and must force attention to its injustice. But it was not alone in the to bacco trade that the same course was pursued. The spices drugs, and other articles; varied from 62i per cent. up to 4.000 per cent., as shown by the evidence of Mr. Melville ; and these duties, enormous as they were, were not only injurious, but they i m p over i s h e d th e articles by preventing their improvement. They.. had an example of the working of the system in the article of indigo. No sooner was the duty upon it reduced, than we were supplied with a much better article than any we had before. It was painful to compare the state of India with that of any other country. The small Island of Java was far outstripping India. In sugar, from 1830 to 1839, the increase in exports from Java was 110,000,0001b5., while the increase from British India during the same period was 45,000,000. Indigo exported by Java had increased 1,000,000 lbs., while from British India the export had decreased one million and a half ; and in coffee the difference was still more enormous. Java had in that period increased her export by 63,000,0001b5., while British India and Ceylon had increased only 2,000,000. Were not such statements very alarming, and did it not lead one to inquire how it was that India did not increase in a ratio with a small petty island like this? In the petition the Directors had pre sented to the Legislature, they had very justly said that they were responsible for the good government of India. Now, surely, it was not the policy of England to terri tories comprising 450,000 square miles, with 47 millions inhabitants, and a revenue of upwards of 12,500,0001.—the Governors of which countries were in fact our subjects, and tributary to us—surely it was not our policy to take the whole of their sea coast, and then treat them as foreign and independent states? The whole area of the subsidiary, dependent, and tri butary States of British India (exclusive of Scinde, Be loochistan, Affghanistan, or any of the territories west ward of the river Indus) is estimated by Colonel Suther land at 450,000 square miles, which, at. the rate of 100 mouths to the square mile, would give 45,000,000 inhabit ants. The revenue of these States is estimated by Capt. Sutherland at 12,500,000/. sterling per annum ; and the force which they could bring into the field, at 120,000 cavalry, and 45,000 infantry. Some of these States pay large subsidies annually for the maintenance of the British supremacy in India, others have commuted these annual payments by cessions of extensive and fertile tracts of country, which yield considerable profits to our Govern ment, and others are under strict engagement to furnish heavy quotas of troops, both cavalry and infantry, when ever required by the British rulers. They are all pro hibtted from entering into foreign alliances—from form ing commercial treaties with other nations, and from entertaining foreign Europeans at their Courts. Their territories are surrounded by the British dominions, — we have taken possession of their sea-ports, and isolated them from each other, with a view to their political sub jugation. Mysore pays an annual subsidy of 280,0001., and maintains a contingent force, of which 4,000 is cavalry. The revenues and government of this State are now actually administered by Bri tish officers, under the superintendence of the Madras Government ; and yet the coffee, and other products of Mysore are treated, on their attempted im portation into England, as if they were the products of a foreign and independent country. Oude, in the year 1801 commuted its subsidy to the British Govern ment of 760,0001. per annum, by ceding the districts of Allahabad, Goruekpoor, &c., which yielded a yearly re venue of 1,352,3471. Troops paid for by the King of Oude are placed in his capital, and his Ma jesty has advanced several millions sterling to the English Government. Hyderabad, in 1800, agreed to cede territories yielding 803,6411. per annum to the British Government, in order to pro vide payment for 8,000 infantry, two regiments of cavalry, with a requisite portion of artillery, European gunners, stores, &c. The Nizam (which is the title of the ruler of Hyderabad), agreed further to grant a subsidy of 300,0001. per annum, to provide payment for a con • tingent of 9,000 cavalry, and 6,000 infantry ; and fur ther, he is bound, on the demand of the British Govern ment, to bring into the field the whole of the forces which he may be able to supply from his dominions, with a view to the speedy, and effectual termination of any war in which the East India Com pany may be engaged. From this state (Hyderabad), we have taken its sea-ports and coast line, and for several years we took upon ourselves the Civil Government of the country. Berar—the Maha Rajah of this State (from whom we have taken its coast line of Cuttack Sea) is bound to pay 80,0001. a-year to the East India Com pany, to furnish a contingent of 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry, with the necessary equipment of guns and warlike stores, . at all times fit for active service; the Rajah is also bound to keep as large an army as the East India Company may deem necessary, and to be ready at all times to assist the East India Company with the whole of his Highness's forces, and with all the re source of his State whenever required. These examples will fully show the position of subsidiary and dependent States of British India ; they are all entirely at our mercy, devoid of political power or commercial freedom; their whole resources, military and financial, at our control ; no alliance permitted between them and foreign Powers, or even between each other; and the British Resident at•each native Court is virtually the Sovereign of the country. Yet the raw produce and manufactures of all these States are denied admission into the United kingdom and its dependencies, except as foreign products. That was unjust not only to India but also to England, and demanded immediate alteration. Why should we take our coffee from the slaves of Brazil while we treated these, our own people, with such injustice ? It would surely be for our benefit to show such a vast population that our relations with them were not wholly political, and for our own advantage, but also commercial and for their improvement. It was quite impossible that the present system could go on, they were wholly impove rishing the country. By returns which had been fur nished to the Proprietors, it was proved that the exports of India exceeded her imports by upwards of 27,000,000 of rupees; they were, in fact, destroying the very life blood of her existence. During the last 20 years the whole flow had been from the East, and it was only par tially supplied by the importation of some silver from China. Surely it was 'not for the interest of this country that such a ruinous system should continue. In Mount stewart Elphinstone's valuable work on India what a picture was drawn of the former state of India. He says— " The condition of the people in ordinary times does not appear to have borne the marks of oppression. The his torian of Firuz Shah (1351 to 1394) expatiates on the happy state of the Ryots (peasantry), the goodness of their houses and furniture, and the general use of gold and silver ornaments by their women. Nicoli di Conti, who travelled about A.D. 1420, speaks highly of what he saw of Guzerat, and found the banks of the Ganges (or, perhaps, the Megna) covered with towns amidst beautiful gardens and orchards, and passed four famous cities before he reached Mazeria, which he describes as a powerful city, filled with gold, silver, and precious stones. Barbosa and Bartema,_ who travelled in the first years of the 16th century, corroborate these accounts. The former in particular describes Cambay as a remarkably well-built city in a beautiful and fertile country, filled with merchants of all nations, and with artisans and manufacturers like those of Flanders."—Elphinstone's India, vol. 11. p. 240. Ibn Batuta (A.D. 1440 to 1450) enumerates many large and populous towns and gives a high impression of the state of that' country. The Emperor Baber, in the beginning of the 16th century, although he disliked India, declared that it is a rich and noble country, abounding in gold and silver, and ex presses his astonishment at the swarming population, and the innumerable workmen in every trade and pro fession. Abdurizak, Ambassador from the grandson of Tamerlane, visited the south of India, when under the Government of the liindoos), A.D. 1442, and gives his impression of a prosperous country. Bijayanager, ex cited, by the extent and grandeur, and the wealth of the inhabitants, the admiration of all who visited it. Bartemi states it at seven miles in circumference, and that it was like Milan. Madura, at the extremity of the Peninsula of Hi n doostan, is described by Ibn Batuta as a city like Delhi. The same authcrity says, that through the whole of Malabar, for two months' journey, there was not a span free from cultivation ; everybody had a garden, with his house placed in the middle of it, and a wooden fence round the whole. The roads were excellent ' • shaded by trees, with resting-houses and wells at regular inter vals along a great part of the coast of Malabar. But, adds Mr. Elphinstone, " the sea - ports, above a lt, seem. to have attracted admiration.' Those on both coasts are described as large cities, the resort and habi tation of merchants from every part of the world, and carrying on trade with Africa, Arabia, Persia, and China. A great home trade was likewise car ried on along the coast, and into the interior." Why was it that such a state of thing's had entirely passed away ? lle hoped that document would make some impression on the people of this country, and rouse in them a desire for justice being done to the p eo ple of India, for we ought to be ashamed of ourselves, as Christians, to have permitted such spoliation. When the discussions respecting the Charter were on, Directors evidently participated in the feelings of alarm, for the said it was imossi tht they could continue to y draw from four to p fivl e blem a ii s ii° f l , a r s annually from I n di a, without taking some promoting h er trade. Such a course as was n in operation must undoubted) 3 p rov e most injuriou s to both countries. H e h a d a most alarming document before him, to which he would have been afraid to re fer had the Deputy_e Chairman not sa id t h a t pu blic .discussion to the benefit was 1 - ; !meat of the goo d Government of India. By that do cument he saw that in September `rig the Government cash payments — in India was on the point of susp e en , a t the present the public works s uspende4, e &_- uovernm ) ent exceeded by moment the expenses of th fifty times the revenue of_ the cow. We had now a large military force in possession of the Burmese territories, of course gi.e . atly increasing When was this to ceas e time expenditure. ? The people of this country had of late been often peti tioning for free trade with France and other countries, but they seeme d al together to forget British India—a co untry which , in place of taking anything out of the Ex che q uer, p ut many millions into it. The motion he intended to propose was as follows: . That petitions be presented to both ?louses of Parlia ment, in conformity with the resolutions adopted by this Court on the 16th of June, 1839, and with the petition of the East India Company to the Legis lature in February, 1840, praying that Parliament, in the exercise of justice and sound policy, will authorise the admission of the produce and manufac tures of British India into the ports of thetTnited Kingdom on reciprocal terms with the produce and manufactures o . die United Kingdom, when imported into British India ' that ships built and registered in British India, and na vigated by our East I n di a f e l low -subjects, be' entitled to equal rights and privileges with British shipping ; that the produce and manufactures of the subsidiary States of India, whose seaports and frontiers are occupied by the British Government, and who are prohibited from entering into foreign commercial intercourse, be admitted as the produce and manufactures of British India into every part of the British empire ; and that such other measures may be adopted as will give perfect freedom of commerce between British India and every dependency of the United kingdom." Ire was only asking them to follow up what they had already begun. He thought the time most opportune, and he trusted that the East India Company would ap pear as the first . petitioners at the bar in the ensuing ses sion. They might not be successful ; but every concession that was made must only be con sidered as the herald of another till full jus tice was done. First, they asked for the introduction of a system of low duties on the importation of East India produce ; secondly, that the ships m a na ge d by natives might b permitted to trade in our ports in the same manner as others, and that the absurd regulation of requiring that there must be so many English sailors in every ship should be done away with. The Lascar seamen manned the cruisers of the Government in th elndi an seas, yet they were not permitted to come into our ports as seamen.; and our system led other nations to act in the same manner. It was an absurdity, and acted as a pro hibition to the general use of Lascars as seamen. With respect to the third part, that relating to the sub sidary States, there were goods the produce of Mysore at that moment rotting at the Custom-house, in con sequence of the existing state of the law. How could they expect prosperity to attend these subsidiary States? If they kept them growing food and nothing else, that would effectually prevent their ever rising in the scale of prosperity or • civilization but if they gave an impetus to the productions and manufacture of other articles that would most essentially contribute to raise them in the scale of civilization. The last point was, that such other measures should be adopted as would tend to increase the commercial intercenrse be- tween India and the United Kingdom. He . would not then go into details, but v he would merely allude to one point of that most extensive and most important subject. He thought the wheat of India ought to be permitted to be entered at a nominal rate of duty.—(Cheers.) There was at the pre sent time a loud cry for a free trade in corn, and he thought that-British India certainly had the first claim to be permitted to supply that article. Its claim was cer tainly greater than that of either Poland or Dantzic_, to be permitted to supply wheat to th e B r itish market. Large quantities of wheat flour had been imported from India into Liverpool, and had been extensively used in the manufacture of chintzes, for the purpose of stiffening, for which it was better adapted than any other sort of flour ; it was also, he believed, capable of being most advantageously used in the manufacture of starc. He felt assured that India was capable of supplying by far the greater portion of the wheat ex ported for the consumption of England. He trusted the Directors would accede to the motion, and would present a petition to Parliament, couched in such terms as in their wisdom they might _ devise. He thought he might take upon himself to state that the pre sent enlightened Premier, Sir Robert Peel, took the warmest interest in the welfare of India. That great man, he had every reason to believe, had long entertained the opinion that India and England ought to be united by the closest ties, and he was satisfied that he would, as a great and enlightened statesman, see the necessity of adopting measures so essential to the pros perity both of England and India.—(Cheers.) The motion having been seconded, and read by the Secretary, The CHAIRMAN said the Court of Directors fully con curred with the memorialists in almost all the great objects they had in view, and therefore he should not object to the reception of the memorial. He thought the Directors could not be charged with want of attention to the subject, inasmuch as they had last Session presented petitions to both Houses of Par liament, from the consideration of which great advan tages had already been derived. With regard to the subsidiary States, the' Court had been most anxious to adopt the views of the lion. Gentleman, which he consi dered to be founded on justice, but the Attorney and Solicitor-Generals and the law-officers of the Court of the East India Company had given it as their opinions that no relaxations could be made in favour of Mysore and the other subsidiary States, without foreign coun tries, with which we had reciprocity treaties, having a claim to be put on the same footing. Concurring generally in the views expressed by the Honourable Gentleman, he put it to him whether it would not be a more effectual way of carrying out those views to withdraw his motion for a petition, and leave the question entirely in the hands of the Court of Di rectors at present, more especially as he (Mr. M. Mar tin) had expressed his confidence in the desire of the pre sent Premier to do justice to India, an expression in which he (the Chairman) entirely concurred—(Cheers)—while, at the same time, he felt it was only an act of justice to Sir John Hobhouse to state that he (the Chairman) had always found on the part of that Right Hon. Baro net every disposition to do ample justice to the claims of India.—(Cheers.) He trusted the motion would not be persevered in. Sir JAMES LAW LUSIIINGTON thought it would be more respectful to wait and see what the Government would do before again presenting a petition. He, there fore, hoped the motion would be withdrawn. Mr. iVEEDING would, if the motion were not with drawn, meet it by an amendment that the petition was, in the present state of affairs, uncalled for and unnecessary. With every disposition to do justice to India, he could not concur in is hat had been proposed relating to the Lascar seamen. lie thought it essentially necessary to the naval superiority of this country that the nursery for seamen afforded by the East India trade should be kept .up. Mr. MAnutorr seconded the amendment, as he thought the motion was a tacit reflection on the Court of Directors. Mr. SALOMONS recommended the withdrawal both of the motion and of the amendment. Mr. BROWN said the duty of 50 per cent. on the im portation of rice into Ceylon was merely a countervail ing duty. With regard to tobacco, which in the province of Malabar was a necessary of life to the labourer, it should be recollected that in that province it was a grievous monopoly, which the Court of Directors could do away with at any time they chose. The produce of Tanjore was admitted to England as the produce of a British de pendency, and so also was the produce imported from Singapore. Why then, could not the produce of the other subsidiary States be put upon the same footing as the produce of Tanjore ? The pm Proprie tor then related various facts to prove the former prospe rity of India, and concluded by vindicating the character of the Lascar seamen. Mr. OLIPHANT thought it time to rescue the the native States from their present anomalous condition. It was a farce to treat them as independent States. After a few words from Mr. Twining and Mr. Fielder, Mr. M. MARTIN consented to withdraw his motion. which, however, he could assure the Court, he had never intended as a tacit reflection on the Court of Directors, as one Honourable Proprietor had thought fit to assume. The motion was then withdrawn. SIR HENRY WILCOCK. Mr. SALOMONS wished, before the Court broke up, to allude to a certain paper, purporting to be a letter from Sir IL Wilcock, one of the Court of Directors, to the Earl of Aberdeen, one of the Secretaries of State, which letter had been lithographed, and afterwards published in the newspapers, and made matter of discussion by the Press; and as the document would doubtless become matter of discussion in Parliament, he thought it best that it should previously be discussed in that Court- Before going into the House of Commons he wished to ask, first, whe ther there existed any declaration of opinion of the Court of Directors on the subject of the war in Affghanistan ? 2d. Whether there existed any protest by any Directors on the subject? and, Whether the war had b een made a matter of di scussion in the Court of Di rec t ors ? Mr. ST. G EORGE TUCKER had not ma d e an y protest, but he had in a letter, addressed to the Court of Directors, dated June 29, 1839, given his opin i on f u lly on the subjectsubjectSALOMONSfordocument. Wilcock, .L he thought th at every comm u nication from a Di rector to a m em ber of her Dfajesty's Government ought to be cons idered in the official t the of an document, and as such he hope d Director would have n o o bj ect i on t o laying before the Court of Pro • . prietors. - been in the Direction at The CHAIRMAN, not h avin g the time, was unaware of the contents of the letter of Mr. Tucker, and could not therefore reply to the Hon. Proprietor until he had seen and considered it. Sir II LINDSAY ao s r a m idt o h n e Honourable Proprietor vas asking which he must be aware co the s m oo o ro ut s h y s information be e f aff tl o ie rded Coi h n i m m f a ttee s of of theh membersd; not for erme tically seated by Act of Parliament. He did i li"o•eetrthink that members behind that bar were at all justified in pi: niul,ra t i n g anything that passed in that Committee. After t' a few words from Mr. WEEDING, Sir 11. WILCOCK said that he had thought it right, a s , an old servant of the Crown, to act in the manner he had done. From having long resided in Persia he had had great o pportunities of judging of the policy or impolicy of the wa r in Affgliamstan, and he thought he should have been wanting in his duty if he had not communicated the results of that knowledge to the Go vernment. Therefore he thought he was justified i n expressing his opinion to Lord Palmerston as to what was about to take place. With regard to the letter being lithographed, that did not make it the less a private communication. He had no secretary, an d persons as frequently employed a confidential lithogra pher as they did a confidential copier. Wh en a change of administration had taken place, he thought it was his duty to addresS Lord Aberdeen on the subject of the war in Afghanistan as h e h a d be fore done Lord Palmerston ; he had done so, and a t th e same time had communicated a copy o f e k tue letter to the Chairman of the Court of Directors. lie regretted his object had been defeated by the pro mulgation of that letter to the Earl of Aberdeen. He had never intended it should have been published, still less bad he ever intended it should have been an imple ment for party purposes. The CHAIRMAN acknowledged havi ng received from Sir H. Wilcock a copy of the letter alluded to ; which, h o wever, he had, as yet, had no opp ortun i ty of perus i ng. et,' —(Cries of ." Oh, oh.") Mr. MONTGOMERY MARTIN was the person who had given publicity _to £he letter, and he did not regret having done so, because he considered the document to be a most important one. A mutual friend of himself and Sir IL Wilcock had met him (Mr. Martin) in the Strand, and had put into his hands four lithographic copies of letters, three to ',Ord ialnierston, and one to the Earl of Aberdeen.
