RENEWAL OF THE EAST INDIA CHARTER.

Captain MA xrrELD wished to ask whether any steps had
been taken to place the trade between Great Britain and
China on a more favourable footing, and whether the Com-
pany were building any new ships ? If the state of the
trade with China, and the great losses which arose in
freights, were fairly represented to the people of England,
he thought a favourable effect would be produced, and
render the obtaining the renewal of the Charter a matter
of certainty. He could not apprehend that the Charter
would not be renewed. He begged to put the question
referred. _ _

The CHAIRMAN said that this subject would receive the
most serious consideration. The Company were not now
building any additional ships, and the usual mode was to
take up proper ships by tender. No ships now went out
upon the old system. When this question relative to the
China trade was to come under consideration, this subject
would be one of most serious consideration.

SUTTEES.
A Proprietor made a few observations on the probibi-
_ _ _

lity of the speedy abolition of Suttees in India, and wished
to know if any information had been received on the sub-
ject, and what steps had been taken.
The CHAIRMAN answered that some steps had been--
taken by the Government to abolish this system.
Some conversation arose on the subject of a vote of thanks
to the Directors, who are about to retire. The thanks
were most cordially acquiesced in by the Directors, but at
it was against precedent, no vote could be passed in the
Court..--The Court then adjourned.
