TO TIIE PROPR I ETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
Laitit.s AND GENTLEMEN,
V II E extreme Difficulties which present themselves to
J_ a Candidate for a Seat in the EAST INDIA DIRECTION,
iu making personal application to each Proprietor, and which may,
unintentionally, in some instances, cause this mark of respect to be
emitted. induce the Committee of LIEUT.-COLONEL SIR
WILLIAM SOt'lSli, Bart. to press upon your notice. the strong
grounds upon which that Gentleman has been encouraged to solicit
your Suffrages.
'I hey essentially consist in a long course of Military Service
perdmised in the Honourable Company's Army in India, both in
the Field and in Garrison ; and which. in repeated instances. have
attuned for hint the marked •ppmbation of the distinguishes! Offi-
cers under whose command heetved. . . . .

In the early part of his Military Career, he served with the
Army before Seringspeta rt, in the rnluction of the Dutch Settle-
ments in Malabar. act the Capture of Columbo, and also through-
out the course of the Cingalize War.
In a later period of hi. service, he had the merit of suggesting
and organizing a most efficient Plan for recruiting the Army : a
Plan adopted by the Government, and acted upon with extensive
knit important results. He WAS subsequently engaged, during the
arthotea War in the Deccan, in collecting and forwarding supplies
for the Army tooter the command of the Duke of %Vellington, for
which service his (lure 1,1314 pleased to transmit to Sir William
Young an expression of his high satisfaction.
Ihi these g rot: rids. strengthened by the consideration that the
number of 3:ditory Men in the Direction has diminished, whilst

lISTRESS in SPITALFIELDS.—At a SPECIAL
MELTING or the COM NI ['FITE, held at the Rectory.
BiPhomiate, l'arch 3ht, 1112fi,
The Lord Bishop or C E.4TER in the Chair.
It wu rewired .hat the following Statement should be submitted
to the Public :

The Committee who have been entrusted with the distribution
or :he money subscribed for the relief of the distressed Silk
Weavers in Soitallields, have now the painful task of antmunoing
to the public, that while the fends plated at tiseir disposal ate very
nearly exhausted. the Mimeo which they were Intended torelieved
remains undiminished in extent and severity ; in point of feet, it
may be said to have increased. for the relief which the Committee
its; been able to allow to persons with families. has been so small
as barely to support therm and that but scantily, with the neces-
saries of life, Loving no provision for the payment of rent, or of
debts, contracted under the pressure of distress, before the com-
mencement of the subscription.
About seven hundred persons who have received relief, have
now obtained a small portion of work ; but their places have been
noire than supplied by those who were at work, and are now wholly
out of employ.
The Committee have now been sitting every day (Sundays ex-
eepted h since the 31it of January. in the Vestry-room at Spital-
fields Church, distributing relief ; and nearly sixteen thousand per-
sons have been supported during the whole of that time, and are
still supported entirely, upon the scanty pittance which they have
received front this source. The balance now remaining in the
Treasurer's hands does not amount to the sum required for ore
week's distribution.

Under these circumstances. the Committee feel it their duty to
make an earnest appeal to the benevolence of those whom Pros i-
dence has blessed with the mean. of mitigating the distresses of
their fellow-creatures; and persuade themselves that the foregoing
simple and unexaggerated statement will produce such an addition
to their funds, as may prevent the sudden dryh.g up of those
sources to which .n many thousand poor persons have to look fot
the means or existence.
