At a numerous and highly respectable Meeting of Proprietors of
East India Stock, held at the City of London Tavern, on Tuesday,
the 19th day of July, 1836,
JAMES ALEXANDER, Esq., in the Chair,
The following Resolutions were passed unanimously :-
Ist. Proposed by SAMUEL Jotas LOYD, Esq., and seconded by
JOHN SHORE, Esq.
" That this Meeting, whilst it fully recognises the justice of
those claims to a seat in the East India Direction which are founded
upon a local acquaintance with, and a personal knowledge of, In-
dian affairs, deems it necessary at the same time to impress on the
Proprietors at large the importance of uniting with these qualifica-
tions that knowledge and those habits of business which can only be
acquired by long. and extensive connection with the mercantile af-
fairs of this country."
2d. Proposed by Wm. CRAWFORD, Esq., M.P., and seconded by
HENRY DAVIDSON, Esq.
" That recent vacancies in the Direction have caused a deficiency
of Gentlemen in that body connected with the mercantile interests
of the kingdom ; and that it is, therefore, expedient that this con-
sideration should be duly adverted to by the Proprietots in selecting
a fit and proper person to fill the next vacancy which may occur.
3d. Proposed by RICHARD SANDERSON, Esq., M.P., and se-
conded by WM. MASTERMAN, Esq.
" That, under these circumstances, this Meeting fully recog-
nizes the propriety of the appeal now made by Mr. Martin Tucker
Smith to the Proprietors, and declares its conviction that his ex-
tensive connection with the trading and financial interests of this
great City, and his established habits of business, render him pecu-
liarly qualified to. undertake the duties of a Director."
4th. Proposed by THOMAS HALLIFAX, Esq., and seconded by
GEORGE SHEDDON, Esq.
" That this Meeting pledges itself, individually and collectively,
to support Mr. Martin Tucker Smith's pretensions to a seat in the
East India Direction on the first vacancy which may occur."
JAMES ALEXANDER, Chairman.
James Alexander, Esq., having quitted the Chair,
It was proposed by Jonis POYNDER, Esq., seconded by JAMES
WM. FRESIIFTELD, Esq., M.P., and resolved unanimously,
" That the thanks of this Meeting be given to James Alexander,
Esq., for his very able conduct in the Chair."

Those who remember the sensation—produced by " The Old

this new series. Speaking of that extraordinary work the Quar-
terly Review observed, " Upon us the impression of these tales was
such as we recollect to have received from the novels which we
stole and secretly read in the days of our boyhood ; we found them
interesting and affecting to a degree which made us begin again to
think the serious occupations of life, weary, stale, flat, and unpro-
fitable."
