Proposed by Thomas Weeding, Esq. and seconded by Thomson Hankcy, Esq.

Aritish inhabitants,of C,alcu tta„ Who aye. availed -theinseivo pf rhe.oreasion which ~bas presented, itself;Ao..repird the sense ,which, they cutplain..9(3be l rfir,K44 ,pr,yqur Ptricirnt seivices,,and,artdeArovs pf phtainim, ll.—That in order to carry into effect the preceding resolu tion in the most suitable manner, a Committee be appointed to wait upon Mr. Adam, and request that he will be pleased to sit for a full length Portrait to be placed in some conspicuous public situation, as a permanent memorial of his public services and private worth. If, Sir, the earnest solicitation of myself and other p r i va t e friends, whom you see around you, and by whom I need not tell you how much you are b e l ove d, could add any thing to the force of the request conveyed from so large a body of your countrymen, that solicitation would not be wanting. But we are as:oared, that you will feel no hesitation in complying with the wish which has been publicly expressed, and that you will be pleased to give effect to the object in view in the manner which has appeared to be the most honourable and pure, and therefore the most suitable, and which it is believed will be the most acceptable to you. If I were permitted, Sir, upon this occasion, to allude to any thing which is personal to myself, I should not be disposed to conceal how much I have felt gratified in being thought worthy of taking the part which has been allotted to me in these pro ceedings. You, Sir, are the oldest friend I have in India. I have not forgotten the warm and cordial reception which I met with from you on my arrival in this country ; but I was pre pared for that reception, and all,the kindness which followed it, by what I had experienced from one whom you, as I well know, in no ordinary degree love and venerate. Your excellent and much respected father extended to me his countenance in early life ; and indeed 1 may say that attachment to the name of Adam had come to ins as an inheritance from one, now no more, whose memory I am bound to cherish, and from whom in my ' childhood I had heard the expressions of regard and esteem which lie entertained for " William Adam" with whom from his younger days he had been united in the tics of friend ship. Need I say, Sir, that the interest of these proceedings will not be confined to this country, or to those who have taken a part in, or been witnesses of them ? Of the feelings with which their tidings must be received by your valued parent, I can in some degree judge from knowing the affection which he once bore towards you, and which cannot surely have abated, y because in the fullness of your reput a ti on y ou h ave rea li zed to the utmost the hopes which he had fondly ch er i s h e d o f you. The honours which arc paid to you are his as we ll as ours. I trust with my own lips not only to communicate to him the earliest intelligence of these proceedings, but also to impart something of the feeling which pervades my bosom, and the bosoms of all who, on this occasion, have soaght to do justice to the merits of a Son so honoured and beloved. Allow me, Sir, in conclusion, to request that you will accept from your friends who now surround you, wishes as ardent and as sincere as can have place in the human heart, for the happi ness, welfare, and prosperity of yourself and your family.

Mr. Anast, evidently overpowered by the sensations pro duced in his mind by the flattering manner in which the Reso lutions had been passed at the town-hall, and overcome by the pathetic and affectionate address of the Learned Chairman of . the committee, replied--- " I shall endeavour, in the best manner my feelings will admit, to express the deep and grateful sense which I do, and must ever, entertain of the high honour conferred on me by my countrymen, the British inhabitants of Calcutta,— a n ho nour which, however great and gratifying in itself, is much enhanc ed, in my estirnanon, by its being conveyed to me by a body of Gentlemen for whom I have ever felt . the highest respect and esteem, and with many of whom I hive passed a long term of years in the most cordial intercourse of intimacy and uninter rupted friendship: and even the grateful feelings_ which these circumstances are so well calculated to produce, are encreased by the manner in which my kind friend, your Learned Chair man, has announced to me the flattering intentions of the com munity of Calcutta. Indeed, these united powerful incite ments, while they convey the proudest and deepest sensations of delight that my merits should be deemed worthy of such an honour, Create at thesame time an uncontroulable ag it a tio n , increased by the alluaions of your worthy Chairman, which' absolutely incapacitates me from returning any adequate tribute of acknowledgment for the high and inestimable mark of favour and distinction which has been manifested towards me by the British inhabitants of Calcutta. With the most heartfelt plea sure shall .I comply with the flattering request which has been' so handSomely conveyed to me by you." The agitation alluded to was, we understand, very conspi.... cuous, and may be readily conceived. The committee break- . fasted with Mr. B a yl e y, an d the f o ll ow i ng arrang e ments after wards took place TO:Wit-HALL, CALCUTTA, ARO. 11, 1823. At a meeting of the committee apiiointed by the general meeting held at the town-hall on Saturday, for the purpose of considering the best means of paying some suitable . mark Of pnblic respect andattachment to the Hon.

RIDLEY said, there bad been such a communi cation on the subject of the Tonnage Duties. Mr. ROBERTSON supported the motion. It was most desirable to ascertain the conduct of Foreign Nations towards us with regard to Tonnage Duties.
