British India, extending over 500,000 square miles of the most
fertile part of Asia, and containing one hundred million of indus-
trious, skilful, and intelligent inhabitants, peculiarly requires a
combination of capital, skill, and energy for the full development of
the valuable and varied products of the soil.
The recent abrogation of exclusive commercial privileges in the
East--the enactments of the Local Government for fiscilitating the
rent or purchase of land—the abolition of transit tolls in Bengal
—the application of improved machinery to various manufactures--
the equalization of the duties on the produce of the East and West
Indies, when imported into the United Kingdom—the dissolution
of the large mercantile firms of Calcutta—the increasing pecuniary
drain on the Indian revenues to meet political charges in England,
and the consequent desire to strengthen the commercial connection
between both countries--the fact that our cotton manufacture, and
3,500,000!. of tobacco revenues are dependent on the jealous amity
of the United States' Government, and on the tranquillity of
2,000,000 of slaves—and that the important and lucrative trade in
sugar, molasses,runs, &c., with its 5,000,000/. revenue, are put to
serious hazard by negro emancipation in the West Indies—above
all, the paramountly moral duty of Britain to use every pos-
sible exertion for promoting the welfare and happiness of the vast
population committed to her care—each and all combine to demand
the formation of a Company which, seeking Tao monopoly or ex-
clusive rights, and relying solely on the economical, judicious, and
profitable employment of its concentrated capital, vigilant attention,
and skilful agency, may fairly rank with those national institutions
that not only enrich their proprietors, but confer honour, security,
and wealth on the whole community of the empire.
The business of the East India Agricultural Company will be
condacted by a Board of Directors sitting in London, and elected
by the Proprietors of Stock holding five or more Shares ; and by a
Local Board of Sub-Directors, (two of whom shall be natives of
India), sitting at Calcutta, with a Manager deputed from the Lon-
don Board.
A Court of Proprietors will be held annually, for-the appointment
of Auditors and receiving the report of the Directors.

pany, No. 53, Old Broad-street, where applications for Shares are
to be addressed.

MONEY MARKET.

PR ICE sd.

TuEsnav EvENING.--There appears to be no doubt that
the Liverpool merchants have formed the intention of making
application to Government for advances, on the security of
those articles of produce now lying in the Government ware•
houses, which they cannot dispose of in the present state of
the markets, except at a ruinous loss. A meeting was held
on Saturday, and another was to take place yesterday, on the
subject, when it was to be decided whether or not a deputation
should he sent to London, to solicit assistance from the Trea-
sury. If properly backed, there is an expectation here that the
application will he successful, chiefly founded on what occurred
in the year 1826, when the applications however were much more
numerous, and included London as well as the principal outports.
It may not be amiss, therefore, on that account, to revert briefly
to what took place at that period, the particular circumstances
of which can hardly be within the general recollection. The
application in that instance came before the House of Com-
mons in a petition of the " merchants, bankers, and traders,"
which was presented by Mr. Wilson, then one of the Members
for the City, on the 23d of February. In doing so be urged
that if the merchants were driven to sell, it must be at ruinous
losses ; they therefore prayed for an issue of Exchequer-bills,
agreeably to a course that had been previously adopted in times
of temporary pressure, and with good effects. Much discussion
took place, and so strong a case was made for some measure
of relief to the mercantile interest, that the Earl of Liverpool
eventually undertook, if the Bank consented to purchase Ex-
' chequer-bills in the market, to afford the required aid to the
extent of 2,000,0001. The Bank at first refused, but ulti-
mately that body was convinced that it would be prudent to
comply with the arrangement. The plan finally settled was,
that the Bank should make advances to private individuals
upon the deposit of goods, merchandise, and other securities,
and that the whole sum to be advanced was not to exceed
3,000,000/. Commissioners were appointed to carry the plan
into execution in the principal commercial districts; and in
consequence the gloom began to disperse, and confidence to
return, so much so, that it is recorded that "the applications
for assistance were far from being so numerous as might have
been expected from the loudness and unanimity of the cries
for relief, and at some of the provincial stations the office of
the commissioners was almost a sinecure." In fact, the know-
ledge that ',a public fund existed ready to advance money to
those who could furnish substantial deposits infused general
confidence, and speedily restored mercantile activity.
Since the observations in the preceding article were written,
a letter reached us late last night from our Liverpool corre-
spondent, in which it is stated that the intention of applying to
Government for assistance had been, for a time at least, aban-
doned.

(From a Liverpool Correspondent.)—We stated in the
Times of Monday, that so severe had been the pressure for
money in Liverpool at the close of the preceding week, the
commercial classes in that town had been discussing the pro-
priety of applying to the Government for pecuniary as-
sistance. The meeting, to which allusion is made in our
previous statement, was held on Monday last. We are not
fully informed of what took place at the meeting ; we
are informed, however, that while the East India, the West
India, and the Mediterranean Associations seemed to think
that Government assistance would not only be desirable,
but absolutely necessary, to enable some of the merchants en-
gaged in the trades to those quarters to avoid ruinous sacri-
fices of property to meet their engagements, the American
Association did not think that an application to Government
was either desirable or necessary. As in any application of
the kind commercial men should be united, and as union could
not be obtained in the present case, it was understood in the
course of the afternoon that all intention of applying to the Go-
vernment for pecuniary assistance was, at least for the present,
abandoned. The favourable accounts from the United States,
and particularly the rise in the price of cotton on Monday, had
reinspired confidence, and sanguine hopes were entertained
that the difficulties which seemed so formidable on Saturday
would gradually disappear, and render the interposition of the
Government unnecessary.—Times.
