TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
CONSIDERING the very extensive nature
of the Canvass for a Seat in the East India Direction,
and the shortness of period in which I have had an opportunity
of entering upon that Canvass, and of becoming acquainted
with the great and independent body of Proprietors of East
India Stock, I feel no less gratified than encouraged by the
result of the Ballot on the 23d inst.
I avail myself of this the earliest opportunity to return my
sincere Thanks to the numerous and kind Friends who came
forward in my favour on that occasion ; and at the same time
gratefully to acknowledge the many flattering assurances I have
received of that additional support on the next Vacancy,
which previous engagements prevented my being honoured
with at the last.
Having already submtitted to you the public grounds upon
which I pregented myself before you as a Candidate for the
honourable situation of an East India Director, it only remains
for me now to renew my exertions to. secure your confidence
and your support, and to repeat my pledge of going to the
Ballot on the first Vacancy.
I-have the honour to be, with great respect, -
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient and humble servant,
Bruton-street, March 24, ROBERTI24 T. FARQUHAR.

NEW TAILOR'S SOCIETY.

A Society,
.under the denomination of ," La.
Societe Minervc des Marchands Taillcurs Calipers " has been
formed by the Foremen of the principal Tailors dthe Metro-
polis, in order to keep up the respectability of, or rather to re-
store thelormer respectabillity to the trade. It has, it seems,
been matter of complaint for some time, in the fashionable
world, that certain innovations have been made upon the art of
cutting, by speculators, who suddenly have started into busi-
ness as tailors, without having the slightest knowledge of the
arcane, or even of the elements of covering the human body
with any•degree of elegance. Out of this complaint sprang
the present Society, which is likely to be extremely beneficial
to the trade, as well as to those who think it matter of more
importance to have the body well ornamented, than the head.
A meeting of the members took place on Tuesday night, at
the White Horse Tavern, Regent-street, for the purpose of dis-
cussing the merits of the project, and presenting Mr. Baker, a
masterty with a
,tailor,apofleatlyid
first respectability, who founded the So_
cie
;;old anuff-box, as a tribute of gratitude
and acknowledgment of the most important services. The
discussion embraced many of the peculiarities of the trade.
Indeed, frequent allusion to the art was made by some of the
most ingenious members, evidently for the purpose of inter-
spersing amusement in the details; and, perhaps, there never
was more laughter than was indulged in by the meeting, at
repetition of some of those jokes which have been let off at the
whole body ever since the thiinble became the joint property
and symbol of tailors and women.
Mr. BAKER was called to the Chair. He stated that by the
establishment of the Society a most desirable object would be
gained. The country trade, which was extremely awkward and
defective, in consequence of the want of, foremen of abilitY,
would be supplied upOn application to the society, with per-
sons in every respect qualified to do the business. Before in-
dividuals were admitted members they were obliged to undergo
a thorough examination, and admission was impossible, except
upon the most undeniable proof of their tact, ability, and tines-
cepttona • ble character. Since the establishment of the Institu-
tion, which had amongst its supporters the foremen of the
first houses, there had been more applications from the coun-
try than could be answered—a fact certainly to be accounted
for by the well-known liberality of the London Masters,
who laid such -value upon meritorious Foremen as to give them
In some instances from 300/. to 5001. a year. It would be, in
his opinion, of great advantage to the Society if some of the
most respectable Masters would join. Many of them had ex-
perienced the high advantage derived from the Institution, in
being provided with assistance on whose integrity and talent
they could place the greatest reliance; and he had no doubt
of their disposition to promote the interests of those Who would
be ready to make a suitable return by any exertion in their poWer.
One of the Members considered there was no necessity 'for
having the assistance of the Master Taylors. That class of per-
sons was composed of men—no, he could not call them men—:
(a laugh)—of individuals, the most cruel and tyrannical that
ever sat cross-legged—(a laugh).—He did not say that the posi-
tion to which lie called the attention of the Meeting necessarily
implied an education for charity ; but certain it was, that the
moment the legs of the trade were applied to no other than the
ordinary purpose for which legs were intended, that moment
the tailor became a different being—began to domineer and
and thus lost the character of a man. It was this
oppress,t of power, on the part of the Mas-
ters,tiesperate love and exercise _
that flung upon the whole trade the reproach of b • being Lint
aninsignificant portion of man—(Loud laughter.)—There were
33 persons now present with the dimensions, passions, appetites
and spirit of men—(laughter) —and was it not too hard to be
told that very little more than three men and a half were to he
found there ?—(Countinued laughter.) This was intolerable,
(laughter), and the Masters had to answer for it. He would
rather go back to the planks than be indebted to such men.
They would never do any thing except for their own advan..
tage ; and as he could cut a figure in society without their as-
sistance, he felt disposed to cat them off from any communi-
cation with the Society. , •
The sense of the room was decidedly and almost unani-
mously in opposition to the sentiments de this speaker.
Another ,Member rosa,*.he said, to vindicate the character of
matter of notorietthat m '
the Masters. It was m, • . any of then,
were men of the most liberal, humane,- and benevolent-dispo-
sitions. He would instance Mr. of Charilig-cross,
Mr. Weston,
anti several others, whos4.-condiiet reflected
honour on the eminent rank in life in which- they moved
(Cheers.)—He Would ask whether such men would-not benefit,
by their sanction, such a society as this,
and whether there was
not evidence enough to chew that they are ,disP)scd to make
sacrifices for the general service of the trade. It had been ob-
served, that there was no disposition upon the part of the Mas-
ters to do any, thing. for their foremen or journeymen, without
an eye to their own interest. There was proof to the contrary
every day : hut, taking it for granted that a Master was un-
willing to neglect his own interest, there was such a thing as
a community of interests,
in which both master and foreman
might share, and which the Society would be an effectual means
of establishinf._(Applause.)—The trade had already suffered
considerably rom_the constant innovation made upon it, and it
had become necessary to institute some plan to prevent ths art
from falling into disreptqe. Under such circumstances, it was
necessary to have the a:Tstance and co-operation of the great
Masters of the Metropolis ; and then no doubt could exist as to
the success of the project.
A third Member recommended
unanimity. The support of
the Masters would be of the utmost importance. In tact, the
Masters were greatly pleased with tile disposition of their fore-
men to join the Society. The trade, he trusted, would return
into its old channels by such means.
It was then resolved that proper measures should be adopted
to procure the co-operation of the principal Master Tailors of
the metropolis, and it was mentioned that several applications
had been recently made for admission, all of which it had not
been thought expedient to sanction.
The gold snuff:box was then presented to Mr. Baker, after
which the Meeting broke up.—( Morning papro
