No. 1, Adam-street, Adelphi, July 2, 1839.

Under the designation of the First Colony, a Society has
been formed, consisting exclusively of heads of families and
others about to settle permanently in New Zealand, on lands
purchased from the Company.
The Society already numbers a considerable body of gentle-
men, others, who may entertain similar views, are invited to
join them. Qualification of a member of the Society, the
purchase of one hundred acres of land ; including, in both
cases, part of the first town. Members admitted by ballot only.
The Colony will depart in a body on the 15th of August next,
so :as to reach their destination about Midsummer ( Southern
Hemisphere), when the site of the first town will have been de-
termined and prepared for their reception, by a prelimi nary ex-
pedition now on its way to New Zealand.
The Committee meets daily at the offices of the New Zealand
Land Company, No. 1, Adam-street, Adelphi, where further
information may be obtained, on application (if by letter, post-
paid), to the Chairman of the Society.

RESIGNATION OF MR. GIBSON

EAST INDIA ROUSE.

A Special Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was
held yesterday, at the Company's House in Leadenhall-
street, to take into consideration the propriety of petition-
ing both Houses of Parliament, praying the appointment
of a Select Committee to inquire into the commercial re-
lations between Great Britain and India, especially with
reference to the reduction of the duties levied in the ports
of the United Kingdom, on articles the products and •ma-
nufactures of British India. The Court was further made
special for the purpose cf submitting to the Proprietors the
draft of a Bill now before Parliament, entitled an Act
to confirm certain rules and orders of the Supreme Courts
of Judicature at Fortwilliam and Madras; to empo.ver
the same Courts, and the Supreme Court of Judicature of
Bombay to make rules and orders concerning pleadings.
Sir ROBERT JENKINS in the chair.
The Minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed.
Certain accounts were ordered to be laid on the Pro-
prietors' table.

Mr. MONTGOMERY MARTIN then rose for the pur-
pose of proposing a petition from that Court to Par-
liament for a Committee of Inquiry into the whole scale
of duties imposed upon all imports from the East Indies.
It must be a matter of congratulation to all parties who
were much interested in the welfare of the people of India,
that the requisition which had been the means of assem
bling that meeting, was as numerously signed as any which
had ever been presented to the Court of Directors.
That meeting had not been called for a selfish purpose,
for with the prosperity or decay of India must
England prosper or suffer. Ile quite agreed in
the trite remark which h ad been frequently made, that
next to a good Constitutional Government an enlightened
despotism was the best, but he could not agree with what
Mr. Macaulay said in India, that that country .now pos-
sessed an enlightened despotism. England had always
acted on a selfish and most erroneous policy with regard to
India. There had not been one act of wise commercial
policy during the last two hundred years, and he was afraid
that what had so begun in injustice might end in ruin.
The natives of India had petitioned Parliament ten years
ago for the very same boon which the East India Company
were now called upon to demand, but that petition had
been treated as if it had come from a distant land, indeed,
it did not receive that attention which it would have done
had it been from persons having no connection with Eng-
land at all. The whole produce of India was so loaded
with taxation, that it was virtually prohibited, and the
operation of those laws was, that the manufacturing
industry of England was cramped, because we would
not take any of their products. The millions of India
were suffering great hardships from the selfish and un-
wise prohibitory duties, which were placed upon their pro-
ducts. It was however as much an English question as
an Indian one. If a wise policy were pursued towards
India the advantage would accrue as much to England as
to that country. It was stated by some persons that la-
dle must cease to become a manufacturing country, but
why should that be the case? He must protest against
the doctrine that one hundred millions of people should be-
come mere hewers of wood and drawers of water for this
country. England, with her most beautiful machinery,
should compete in a fair manner with the natives of Indis,
and the natives of India ought to be allowed to compete
with England. The imports into this country annually ave-
raged 34,720,000/, while India, that vast, immense country,
contributed little more than four millions out of that vast
amount, and even the greater part of that small amount
was not a legitimate trade. It was a mere trade of
remittance. That country which was most excellently
adapted for the growth of sugar, did not contribute to the
consumption of this country more than the small island of
St. Vincent. Supposing even that India were to be kept
as a farm for this country, there would be millions of pro-
duce ready to be sent to these markets, which, if taken, would
give a vast increase to our manufacturing industry. Was
it not strange that India, with its millions of inhabitants,
did not consume to the amount of 6i. per head of our ma•
nufactures, while the negoes in the West Indies consumed
to the amount of 5/. p: e• head and even the new set-
tlements in Australia consumed to the amount of Si. per
head, and the populaton of Honduras, which had a wide
surrounding territory, actually consumed of our manufac-
tures to the amount of 50/. a head. That proved that the
question was an English one, and that we wanted no more
new colonies for the purpose of employing our artisans;
we had only to cultivate those which we had already got.
Where now were the great East India merchants, who
were expected to rise to fill the place of the East India
Company ? We had none with capital fitted for such an
enterprise, and the cause was our prohibitory and unjust
laws. In 1812 the imports from India into England of
manufacted goods amounted to two millions, while in
the year. 1836 they amounted only to 572/. 12s. 63.
We had acted with less justice towards India than any
portion of the continent. —( Hear, hear.) The treaty con-
cluded on the 3d of July last year at Vienna was tenfold
more to the advantage of Austria than anything which
had ever been done for India.—( Hear, hear.) By the de-
bate on the Sugar Duties last week it would be seen that
every facility was likely to be given to Brazil, where fifty
thousand slaves were imported annually, whilst our fellow
subjects in India were considered to be of no importance
—( Shame. )!. An immense deal of injury had been done to
England by acting on false principles of economy, by
despising the markets at our own doors, while we sought
to cultivate relations with those who did not want us.
England had gained nothing by injustice to India ; it
would have been better if she never bad acted with injus-
tice to India, for she was now reaping some of the retri-
butive effects which always flowed from the commission of
evil, in the depressed state of our manufactures. In asking
for a reduction of the duties on East India produce, he
wished to demonstrate that it would be to the interest of
England, commercially and financially. He would take
the article of sugar. In 1800 the quantity consumed in
England was 30 lbs. per head, but now it was not more
than 161bs. This great reduction was owing to the ex-
cessive duty. The inhabitants of England, about
28,000,000, consumed annually 4,000,000 cwt,, about
four ounces weekly for each individual, yielding
a revenue to the state of 4,600,0001. By re-
ducing the duty, the consumption would be extended to
Ilb. for each individual, which was less than was consumed
in France. This would require 13,000,000 cwt. which at
103. duty would yield 7,500,0001. revenue, and give an
immense stimulus to the interests of British commerce and
industry at home and abroad.—( Hear, hear.) If it were
said this was too large a reduction to make at once, let a
reduction take place of Is. annually until it settled at los.
He would now mention the article of coffee, which India
could yield to an illimitable extent, and of the finest quality.
The 28,000,000 of inhabitants of the country consumed less
than Ilb. a year for each person • whilst in the United
States, where the duty was only ld. per lb., the consump-
tion was five times more than that of England, with nearly
a double quantity'of tea.--(Hear, hear.) The duty in
England amounted to 600,0001. a year. If the duty were
reduced from 6d. to 3d., the consumption would be in-
creased to at least Sibs. a year for each person, yielding a
revenue of 1,750,000/.—( Hear, hear.) When he consi-
dered that there were in India 100,000,000 of British sub-
jects yielding a revenue of 20,000,000/. to the general pur-
poses of the empire, maintaining an army unequalled in the
world for its discipline and good conduct—when these facts
were passed over unheeded, and less attention was paid to
that country than almost any other, it grieved him to be
compelled to make statements which derogated from the
honour and justice of England, and seek redress rather by
appeals to self-interest than the great principles of universal
justice.—( Hear, hear.) He looked at India in a large and
comprehensive sense, and wished to unite with us in the
bonds of good feeling those distant communities which
only knew us by name. There was not a servant of the
Company who had not deplored our conduct towards:lndia,
and endeavoured to effect a change. Their efforts, how-
ever, had been vain ; but he trusted that now only one de-
sire would be shown to benefit India as well as England.
This was a solemn duty which we had to perform towards
those millions of people.—( Hear, hear.) He had long
sought to procure commercial justice for India, which
would be the means of increasing the revenues consequent
on the expense of extending civilization ; which would be
the means of raising England from the present desponding
state of her commerce, by offering in India an incalculable
mart on which our manufacturing power might rest tri-
umphantly.—( Hear, hear.) The Hon. Proprietor con-
cluded by moving that the following petition be adopted by
the meeting :

The petition of the lion. East India Company to the
Imperial Parliament, showeth—

Ist. That the subjects of the British Crown in Asia,
under the Government of the Hon. East India Company,
amount to about 100,000,000 of industrious and intelligent
people, who possess strong claims on the consideration of
the Imperial Parliament.
" 21. That British India is not aburthen on the finances
of England, but, on the contrary, yields an annual revenue
of nearly 20,000,0001. sterling ; by which an army of
30,000 Europeans, and 170,000 native troops is main-
tained, and honourable and useful employment furnished to
many of our countrymen as civil functionaries at borne and
abroad ; and that, by reason of its great extent of territory,
vast population, and immense resources,:it materially con-
tributes to the political power, maritime strength, and
general prosperity of the British empire.
4" 3d. That British India being possessed of a fertile
soil, great variety of climate, and abundance of skilful
labour, is capable of supplying Europe with almost every
species of tropical produce of the best quality, at the
cheapest rate ; but that at present England enjoys a very
small portion of the commercial advantages which British
India offers to the merchants, manufacturers, and artizans
of the United Kingdom.

" 4th. That for a quarter of a century British goods
have been admitted, by a law of the Imperial Parliament,
into all the ports of British India free of duty as regards
woollens, metals, wrought and unwrought, marine stores,
&c., and at a duty not exceeding 2-4 per cent. on cotton
and all other goods ; but the raw products on manufactures
prepared in India by our fellow-subjects during the same
period, have had onerous, and in some instances prohibi-
tory duties imposed on them on their introduction into the
ports of the United Kingdom, while the productions of
Foreign states in amity with us have been freely admitted
under the reciprocity system.

" sth. That the consequence of such a course of pro-
ceeding has been the destruction to an immense extent of
the manufactures of British India, whereby several hun-
dred thousand of our subjects have been ruined ; whilst the
endeavours to introduce the new products of the soil into
the United Kingdom have not met with such encourage-
ment as to alleviate the privation and distress produced by
partial legislation, or to enable the people of India to
become extensive purchasers of British manufactures.

" 6:h. That it is the opinion of your petitioners that the

PRICE sd.

Imperial Parliament, by acting on a system of wise and
generous policy towards India, might enable this country
to become independent of all foreign nations for the re-
gular supply of those staple articles on which her manu-
factures depend; and at the same time obtain a large and
certain mart for her own commerce ; whereby the people
of England and of India would be united by the strong tie
of mutual advantage, and our dominion in the East would
rest on the broad and sure foundation of justice.
" 7th. That your petitioners, being entrusted with the
responsible duty of governing British India, and being
anxiously solicitous for the welfare and happiness of the
millions of their fellow.subjects committed to their care,
earnestly desire the appointment of a Select Committee
of your Hon. House to investigate the commercial rela-
I tions between England and India, with a view to the
speedy and effectual adoption of such measures-as may
secure to our fellow subjects in India that mercantile reci-
procity to which they are so fully entitled, but which has
hitherto been withheld, and which, in the opinion of your
petitioners, would equally promote the commercial, finan-
cial, and political interests of both countries."
Sir C. FORBES seconded the motion with much plea-
sure, and as it had been introduced in such a clear, and
plain, and eloquent manner, it would he unnecessary for
him to detain the Court for more than a few moments.
He would merely suggest that the petition ought to be
sent to both Houses of Parliament, and that they ought to
be sent in as early as possible, in order that they might re-
ceive consideration before the next Session. It was a
strange yet a true fact, that coffee, the produce of Brazil,
carried from Brazil to the Cape, was allowed to come into
this country as the produce of a British colony, yet' that
coffee, the produce of Mysore, was not allowed to come
into ft.is country unless at an extravagant duty, yet
that province was as much a part of our Indian pos-
sessions as any other.---(Hear.) Let them look at the-
situation of Java. In 1816, when it was given up to the
Dutch by Sir S. Raffles, the revenue did not amount to
more than 100,0001., while now it yielded upwards of a
million. Compare that with the situation of India, where
there was an actual deficiency in the revenue. He for one
did not see hew the Proprietors could expect to receive
the'.r dividends unless there was a g"eat improvement in
the revenues of India, and that could only be obtained by a
full reciprocity between the two nations. They must agi-
tate the question in order to bring it fairly before the
country. He trusted that his lion. Friend would so far
modify as to move his petition in the shape of resolutions
Mr. M. MARTIN had no objection to adopt the sugges-
tion of the Hon. Baronet.

An HON. PROPRIETOR said that at the time alluded to
by the Hon. Mover of the resolution there was
a duty of sixty-seven per cent. upon the manufactured
goods of India brought into this country. That duty bad
now been reduced to ten per cent., yet the trade had fallen
off—a proof that India could not compete with England.
There were some really practical evils which might h'
complained of. For insttnce, East India spirits paid a
duty of 153., while the spirits from the West Indies paid
only 9s. 6d. There was an actual grievance with which
they might go to Parliament, with a strong case in their
favour. Again, in the article of tobacco, they had a good
ground of complaint-_a reduction of 31. upon two shil-
lings had been made upon tobacco in favour of Canada,
where tobacco could not be grown. She had not been
able to take advantage of the proffered boon, but let that
boon be given to India, and let her be put upon the foot-
ing of all our other Colonies, and she would do well
India could never become a manufacturing rival
of this country. Ail she wanted was the introduction of
British capital for the production of the three staple ar-
ticles of cotton, tobacco, and indigo; let those articles be
cultivated most sedulously, let them Le introduced into
this country upon terms that India ought to command, and
she wanted no more.

Sir ROBERT CAMPBELL, after entering into a variety of
details relative to the amount of the imports and exports
of India and this country, said that it would have a very
beneficial operation on the minds of the people of India if
they found themselves treated with that degree of justice
which the interests of humanity demanded.—( Hear, hear.)
lie thought it the duty of the country to give every en-
couragement to the manufactures and produce of India,
and cheerfully supported the resolutions which had been
moved by Mr. Martin.

COI. SYKES also briefly supported the resolutions.
Mr. MARTIN replied, expressing his hope that the reso-
lutions would pass unanimously, and tint the opposition of
the Hon. Proprietor would be withdrawn.
Mr. PIERCE suggested that it would be better to refer
the petition to the Court of Directors.—(No, us.) IL?
thought the proper plan was to encourage the growth of
produce, especially sugar, cotton, and tobacco.
M. WEEDING said there were two propositions, which
he thought would obtain all they wanted. Let them pe-
tition that the produce and manufactures oflndia should be
admitted at the same duty as those of other colonies,
and the other, that no further taxation be laid on her ma-
nufactures than was laid on those of England ou their in-
troduction into India. These two points, if adopted, would
carry out all they wished.
The CHAIRMAN said the Court of Directors had not bees
idle for they had obtained an equalization of the Sugar
Duties—no doubt they were trammelled in some degree,
and that was a subject for further exertions. They had
also pressed upon the attention of Government the injustice
of not allowing Mysore coffee to be imported. He agreed
generally in the resolutions, but he would suggest that it
would be better that they should be referred to the Direc-
tors, who might be instructed to draw up a petition which
they would submit to the Court. Ile moved accordingly.
Mr. MARRIOTT seconded the motion with pleasure. He
saw many on the other side of the Bar who had grown grey
in the service of India, and he was sure the whole matter
would be safe in their hands.

Mr. WARDEN, a Director, entered into a long statement
of figures, in order to show that the trade of India had
greatly increased !ince 1806, and that the commercial po-
licy of the Court of Directors bad had the contrary effect
of having ruined India. He trusted the Court would concur
in the motion of the Hon. Chairman.

Mr. A. CHAPNIAN thought that all the produce of
India, as well as her manufzetures, should be admitted as
freely as from any other part of the dominions of her
Majesty.

Sir C. FORBES said there seemed to be a general feel-
ing in favour of the motion of the Hon. Chairman, but he
must congratulate that side of the Bar for having awoke the
Directors even at that late hour of the day; they had never
heard of the petition before, and probably they never
would have heard of it had it not been for that meeting.
The motion was then unanimously agreed to.
The COURT then agreed to the Bill for allowing the
rules and regulations of the Courts in India, and adjourned.

BANK OF IRELAND MONOPOLY

(From the Pilot.)
We must not be lulled into security by the statement in
the last Evening Post, that " nothing definite has yet been
decided" respecting the Bank monopoly. Mr. O'Conn ill
assumed, and in the presence of Mr. Spring Rice, and
without contradiction, that whatever the length of the
period, the breadth of the monopoly would infest fifty miles
extent. But people should not suppose it is confined to
the fifty miles. The existence of a monopoly which go-
verns at will, the price of every commodity, and which
only refreshes, when it does refresh, one party, is an injury
to all. It affects the remotest parts of the country as well
as the more proximate, being everywhere detrimental to
that equality of supply, and to the legitimate facilities,
without which trade can never be prosperous. All Ireland
is called upon, and within the proscribed circle particularly
called upon, to bestir itse!f, and put an end to one of our
most immediate operative grievances, an interested mo-
nopoly, in the making and issuing of money.
So extensive is the conspiracy against the liberty of the
people of this country—bound and entwined as that liberty
is with her commercial freedom and independence—that
even the ordinary requisition, calling for an expression of
public opinion, which Mr. Dixon left on Friday in the
Commercial Buildings for signature, had been removed
from the table and locked up, lest even a solitary signature
should chance to be attached to it. However, even this
will not save the expiring monopoly which public indigna-
tion has marked for destruction. The meeting will forth-
with be held, and the public voice will be expressed, not-
withstanding.
