AT 11 very numerous and highly respectable
MEETING of PROPRIETORS of EAST-INDIA
sTocK, held at the City of Loudon Tavern, on 'Monday,
the 4th of April, 1814,
JOB AIATHEw MIMES, Esq. in the Chair,
It was Moved by Benjamin Shaw, Esq. M.P. and seconded
by George Ward, Esq. and nuanialously resolved,
.. Ist. That the Maritime Concerns of the East India Company
are of a maguitude.to render it of vitat importance to the wet-
fare of the'Couipanv itself, that there should at all times be a
sufficient number of persons its Ibe Court of Directors, who,
from long practical experience in this department of the
Company's affairs, arc e.iabied to apply to
.them that
khowledge and skill which can altine result from such expe-
rience, a point particularly insisted' upon by the Court of Di-
vctors themselves in the year 1805, at which period they
published the following unanimous Resolution of their Court',
viz..—

" East-India-House, .June 9.0, 1805.
" At the Court of Directors of the East-India Company,
bad on Wednesday, the 11th June, 1805,
Resolved unanimously, That inconvenience which has
been experienced from the reduced number of the Members
of this Court professionally acquainted with tho regular slAval
service of the Company, renders it the duty of the Court to
inform the Proprietors, that it Will be for the i,iterest of the
Company to fill up tiny next vacancy that may happen in the
Direction, by a Gentleman of that description.
" Signed, by Order of the Coma,
" WILLIAM RAMSAY, Secretary."

2dly, It Was moved bY George Samuel `'egg, Esq. and se-
conded by Sir Nlanaseh Masseh Lopes, Bart. and unanimously
resolved,—
That if in 1805, when there were five Naval Members in
the direction, a serious inconvenience was felt, and a farther
addition of Gentlemen of that description was wanted, and
actually recommended by the Executive to the Proprietary,
)t necessarily follows, that this inconvenience must be doithly
felt at the present period, there being now only-three Gentle-
men in the direction who were brought up in the naval ser-
vice of the Company, one of whom will be out by rotation,
and another is in direct immediate succession for the Chair in
the present month, (the extended iluties of which situation
necessarily precludes exclusive personal attention to any one
department of the Company's Affairs), consequently there will,
at the period of the ensuing Election, be only one efficient
Naval Member left in the Court of Directors.. -.

.•
3d, It.wgs moved by Henry Wade Welly, Esq. and seconded
by Abell Chapman, Esq. and unanimously resolved, Tliat•
Capt. William Stanley Clarke .having been '25 years actively
engaged in the regular naval service of the East India Com-
pany, during which period he has necessarily obtained con-
siderable-information as to their.general interests, and bring
at this time free from every other oecopatio4, ...is capable of
devoting, without interruption, the skill and knowledge thus
acquired to the proper management of their concerns, is, in
• our opinion, a most eligible per-son for the sititation of Di-
rector, upon one of the present vacancies.
Lastly, It was moved by William Willis,'Esq., and seconded
by John Blades, Esq. and unanimously resolved,
That Capt. William Stanley Clarke is justly entitled to the
extensive and flattering support which he has experienced in
his canvas; and that the persons composing this Meeting will
me their strenuous and unremitting n.xertions,..collectively
and individually, to promote Captain Clarke's Election, uu
the lath instant...

(Signed) JOB„NIATHEW RAIKES,

daile, Esq. and unanimously resolved, That the warns thanks
