11Vheis application was made to Goiter 00000 rest for air
assurance that it was out their intention to sanction
the renewal of the West India Dock Compatty'i
charter, that siaumsce was refused, becaus. the
charter would not expire within two years Iron% the
present time ; the Company had mnsie no applica-
tion fur its renewal ; and there were in she port of
London other chartered companism of a similar de-
scription, maid moil the whole question came under
coorideration, or a general applicaii for the re-
newal of those charters, it was thuoght that it mould
be improper to subject the West lodise Dock Com-
pany to difficultos whtt•h would not affect the
other. Ile should refrain front giving au, opinion
on the subject of the general principle, bectsti.e he
thought it the fair sod ju:•: right of every party to
he bears!.

Mr. limited said. nothing conlil he more in'e-
restieg to the economy of trade the❑ this finer-
boo of the Mick Companies, and when it did
come to be conerlered, he busted it would be
viewed with a just attention to general principles
anal getters' interests. Ile could not, however, at
Nees. in but observe, that the complaint against
the rates was, in his opinion, well founded_ IVheit
the charter was given, the Coinirony was laid under
a restriction never to divide more than 10 per cent.
on it. capital. There could he no doubt that the
intention of this restriction was to 'stereo% the Com-
pany f laying cm rates which would give • greeter
profit than 10 per Celli. and that if the produce ex-
ceeded that amount, they should reduce the rates.
Hut, instead of doing that, they had accumulated
an enormous aunt, he understood nut less than
500,000/. Whet was intended to he done eith
Unit suns he did nut know. To divide it among
their stockholders, he thought he might without
presnuoption woo ttttt ice to be illegal ; to return it
to the merchants from whom it had been taken in
the shape of rates, was quite out of the question ;
and lie saw no way by which it could be disposed
of without some regulation by Act of Parliaineut.
11'8111 respect to the question of the renewal of the ,
chatter, he saw no reasons why the consideration of
it should not be put off till next year, if Govern-
ment had not made up their minds on the subject.
In the mean time, it would be ►asy fur them to
give it their attention, and conic to some deterintur..
tiou as to the way its which they would dispose of it.
Mr. C. Loan said, that the Docks were con-
structed with a view to the protection on the ►ermine.
as well as of private property, which bad before
been touch exposed to plunder. The purpose of
protecting the revenue had been completely answer-
ed, and the revenue was collected in the Docks at
a much less expense than the same amount of
reveller in any other department. These were eon-
sideratious which weighed strongly in favour of their
continuance.
After • few observations froin Mr. Aldermen
HETGATE, the Petition wail brought up and read.
Mr. AloaavArr then said. that in any new regu-
lation which might be made relating to this Com-
pany, the protection afforded to the revenue and to
private property, which the Right Hon. Gentleman
had alluded to, ought cestaioly to be taken into the
fullest ennsideratiott.
The Petition was ordered to lie on the table.
LINEN TRADE.
Mr. Hums wished to ask the President of the
Board of Control, whether it was the intention of
Gorrruniesit to coutiuue the bounties no the ex-
poriat. .of English eon S otch Linear?
Mr. F. Itostusom said, the Met. Gentleman
must be aware that the existing law would not ex-
pire until July 1803, therefore no intention had
been formed on the subject ; but there was a simi-
lar bounty slloweil on linens exported front toehold,
