ABRITISH INDIA.
T a Numerous and Respectable Meeting held
in the Freemasons' Hall, on Saturday, the 6th July, 1839,
The Right Hon: Lord BROUGHAM in the Chair.
Moved by Col. P. THOMPSON, seconded by THOMAS FRANK-
LAND, Esq., of Liverpool.
L—That the present condition of our native fellow-subjects
in British India, estimated at a hundred millions—wholly ex-
cluded from the privileges of representation, and under the do-
minion of a Government in whose appointment they have no
voice, and over whose acts they have no control,—demands the
active sympathy and constant vigilance of the British people.
Moved by DANIEL O'CONNELL, Esq., M.P. ; seconded by
Sir. C*Aiu.as FORBES, Bart.
11.---That it is established by ample evidence that there exists
throughout British India a great amount of poverty, misery, ig-
norance, and discontent ;—that immense tracts of land are suf-
fered to lie waste—that the revenue is declining—that the peo-
ple are oppressed by grievous monopolies, extending even to the
necessaries of life—that the ancient public works are perishing
—that the internal corAmunications have been neglected—and
that dreadful famines rtreqLzently devastate the land.
Moved by Wm. Ew ;,,R; Esq. M.P., seconded by JOHN CRAW-

FURD, Esq.
lll.—That the se evils exist in a Country of vast extent and
great fertility; whose inhabitants are docile, intelligent, and
industrious; whose ancient institations might be made instru-
mental to good Government—a country capable of supplying
many of our demands for tropical produce, and the desire and
capacity of whose population to receive the manufactures, and
thus stimulate the commerce of Great Britain, would, under a
just and enlightened rule, be incalculably developed.
11loved by F. FiNcts, Esq., M.P. seconded by GEORGE
Twomrsox, Esq.
IV.—That for the purpose of obtaining and diffusing infor-
mation—of directing more efficiently the public attention to a
subject involving no less our commercial and political interests,
than our social and moral duties—and of suggesting and giving
effect to such measures as :Are likely to improve the circum-
stances, and provide for tie happiness of the people of British
India, an Association be now formed, to be called " The Bri-
tish India Society, Fa bettering the condition of our fellow
subjects--the Natives of British India."

It is unnecessary to advance arguments as to the expediency
of establishing this great National Bank. Existing circum-
stances will suggest the strongest. The object is to unite all
that
_a is sound in the system of Joint-stock Banking, with all
ill is respectable in the system of private Banking, and at
the same time to avoid the errors and evils of both.
Shares of One Thousand Pounds each, with 500/. to be paid
up, will prevent an admixture of speculative adventures with
opulent capitalists. The Joint-stock system of Banking to be
sound as a whole should be sound in each of its parts.
The Royal Bank of Liverpool hasbeen formed upon the same
princiele--in the brief peried of three years its shares have art i-
',id at a premium of bout 50 per cent. London must ben better
held for such a system than Liverpool. The Commercial Bank
" London is capable of being the focus of the Joint-stock
Banks of the whole kingdom.
adThe Commercial Bank of London combines three important
vantages—viz., a large capital, permanent responsibility, and
iformity in the system of management ; thus securing that
acknowledged desideratum, a guarantee that the capital of the
Bank shall not be withdrawn, nor its efficient action impaired
by the death or retirement of co-partners.
The Cominertfial Bank of London has been founded as a
Book of Depoait for making advances by loan or otherwise, and
more espec;,„ny as a point of concentration for such Provincial
"int-strck and other country Banks as conduct their business
'ftim!.sid banking principles.
„„ P.sireeManagers will be appointed. The qualification of each
vAbe a long previous experience in the banking or discounting
of London, by which the knowledge, decision, and secrecy of a
private bank will be added to the superior solidity of a sound
jeint-stock system.
Interests on deposits will be allowed on special agreement
only, no Bank not having the advantage of issuing its own paper
out be expected to grant interest on floating deposits or on
torrent accounts; but while recognising security as the legiti-
mate basis of every banking transaction, the Directors will be
desirous at all times, but especially in periods of financial preF-
sure, to meet the just demands of every class of society, corn-
imercial, manufacturing, and agricultural.
Ten per cent. will be required to be paid on the allotment of
'the Shares, and such further calls made as may be necessary,
by instalments not exceeding 10 per cent., of which three
months' notice will be given by public advertisement, but not
more than 50 per cent. of the subscribed capital will be called
for without the concurrence of three-fourths in value of the
Proprietors at a General Meeting to be held for that purpose.
In order to limit the responsibility of the Subscribers, it is
intended to provide by the deed of settlement, that in the event
of one-third of the paid up capital being lost, it shall be com-
pulsory on the Board of Directors to convene a meeting of the
Proprietors, and with the concurrence of a majority in value,
to dissolve the Company.
It is intended to establish a Branch at the West-end of the
Metropolis, but at no other place.
A General Meeting of Proprietors will be held annually,
when a statement of the affairs of the Bank will be laid before
them.

GOOD LOCKS A PREVENTIVE TO
CRIME.
The Police Reports almost daily show to those who have
property of importance the necessity of procuring a good Lock.
Crime to a very serious extent may be traced to the negligence
or indifference shown as to the quality of Locks—bad locks
giving no security whatever, but enabling the dishonest and
the curious to open and relock to lull suspicion, by means o
othe- ordinary keys. or pick them with the common pick keys;
thus private stock in trade, jewels, plate, documents, and
Papers of the most serious nature, are exposed to the prying
curiosity of those left in trust in the absence of principals. To
avoid these ruinous losses and exposures procure the SEVEN-
GUARDED LOCK, warranted and made by S. MORDAN
and CO. London, that defies the most ingenious burglar, or the
most determined meddler, whose love of curiosity overrules
every other feature. The LO,:lt may be had by personal appli-
cation, or by letter, at the following prices :—Till, Cupboard,
or Drawer Lock, 7s. ; i'ortfolio ss. • Travelling Trunk, 7s. 6d.;
Book Edge and private Ledgers, Bs. 6d. ; Plate Chest, Cash
Box, or Desk lock, Si. 6d. ; Bo x or Guard for Iron Doors or
Chests, St:eeet-door, Dead Locks, and Stock Locks for
GranariA, 14s. 6d. ; all with two keys. This description of
Lock 13 patronized at. Newgate and Whitecross-street Prison,
an:t in most of the principal Establishments in London.
