to Ballot on the following question, viz.:—
•• That the severe loss of property sustained by Mr. Bucking-
ham, in consequence of the measures of the Bengal Government,
subsequently to his departure from India, having involved him in
pecuniary difficulties, which it could never have been within the
comemplation of the public authorities to occasion, but against
which no human foresight on his part could have provided ; and
these difficulties having been greatly augmented by the obstacles
which prevented him from returning to Calcutta for a short period
to wind up his affiirs ; the Protiviators of East India Stock, ani.
mated solely by a desire to relieve that gentleman from the ember.
vuoments in which he is now unhappily plunged, earnestly recom-
mend to their Honourable Directors, that there be granted to Mr.
Buckingham, from the funds of the Company, for the purpose of
assisting him to surmount his present difficulties, the sum of Five
Thouaand Pounds sterling, being net more than one.eighth pan of
the e•timated loss of actual property occasioned by the proceedings
silvered to ; assuring the Honourable Director' that they will
trees with the cordial support of this Court in helping to repair
misfortunes and &Bernie auftirinp, no doubt unwillingly wit.

PATTERSON'S ICE PAIL.
LOAN PATTERSON, Furnishing Ironmonger, No.
v 3 41, New Bridge-street, Rise:driers. has invented an ICE
PAIL on a new and philosophical principle ; by means or which,
Wines. Cream, Butter, Fruit, and other Substances, fluid or
solid, may. b.• cooled and ktpt cooled, with • degree of efficacy
and preen(*) hitherto unknown. To prove this it may be sofficient
to state, that if spring-water be placed it these pails at the com-
mon temperature of a 2 degrees, it will retain that temperature for
many hours, although surrounded by an atmosphere 30 degrees
higher ; and if the water be cooled down, as it easily and quickly
may be, by lee, or by a substitate for Ice, which may be had with
the pail, to any given point, the same uniformity may be main-
tained, as to the lowered temperature, for a great length of time.
In this way, Wines, and other materials may be brought to any
mate of coolness desired, and kept ready for use, in that state,
durtrg the greater part of the day ; or during the whole of an
afternoon or evening—an accommodation of serious and obvious
importance, not only in well-regulated domestic economy, but as
regards the arrangements of hutch. Taverns, Club Houses,
Coffee Houses. and other public establishments.
PATTERSON'S ICE PAILS are manufactured in handsome
and simple forms ; of various sizes, and at moderate prices.
They may be seen. in constant operation, at his house, N 0.41,
.on tl.e east side of New Bridge-street ; the st...ond house from
°Ludgate.hill.
Ice Buckets, by which Ice can be preserved for several days,
May also be had ; and Cream Freezers, by which Ice.cream can be
snide with or without the aid of Ice in any climate.
