TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
THIS DAY, at the ELECTION of a
DIRECTOR, I redeemed my pledge at the Ballot ;
the result was against me.
To the friends who en this occasion hcnoured me with their
support, I tender my grateful and respectful acknowledgment.
The spontaneous promises of the interest of numerous in-
fluential Proprietors, the accession of friends no longer divided
in their feeling., and the release from adverse engagements of
others zealous for my success, induce me, without hesitation,
to submit myself again to the sense of the Proprietors, in the
confident reassurance that so warmly encouraged and so
powerfully supported, the attainment of my great object is only
deferred until the next vacancy, when I again pledge myself
to proceed to the Ballot.
I have the honour to be,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your faithful servant,

On Saturday, the revision of the list of voters was
completed. The only cases of importance that came
on in the course of the day were those of the " Poor
Brothers" of St. K.itherinc, and the lodge-keepers of
the Duke of Bedford. The names of the former were
admitted, and those of the latter expunged, on the
ground that they were in the subordinate condition of
servants. At the risini, of the Court the following was

HAYMARKET THEATRE.---A new play, en-
titled
~ Master Clarke," by Serle. was produced at this
theittre on Saturday.
It was very well received by a nu-
merous audience, and at the conclusion there were loud
calls for Serle, but fortunately he bad made his escape,
and Macready and Miss Faujit were compelled to come
forward and receive the marks
of iipprobation. The play,
however, • is heavy,

and has little chance of becoming a
favourite unless materially abridged and altered.

MADAME LAFFARGE.

(From the Querdientle's Ca. series.)
The trial of Madame Laffargo, that great absorbing
topic, which, for seventeen days, has not allowed Europe
to occupy herself with anything else than the pleadings
of the Court of Assizes of Tulle, has just been brought
to a close. Ileac will, therefore, be a suspense ofju-
dicial occupations, and the i Parisian coterie will be
( nabkd to emerge from that circle at whieh it was
restrained during the Glandier drama. From the be-
ginnin4 of the month the greate,t interests have boon
effaced for the sympathy or repugnance which Marie
Capelle inspired ; the London memorandums and the
Madrid Ayuntamientos, the fate of the Pacha of
Egypt, and that of the Queen of Spain, Beyrout,
and the detached forts, found no place in the
Journals, and Paris the first, that angular stone of
the periodical press, was put aside for Ma-
dame Laffarge's letters, and for M. Orfila's report.
Elizabide was passed over as a vul4,ar assassin ; and
even the Bourse, that receptacle for egotism and ava-
rice, which is astounded at nothinc, foreign to a rise or
tali, has caused an innovation in the course of its pre-
mums and reports, in order to be taken up with Marie
Capelle's fate. Prince Louis Napoleon was very for-
tunate in not being tried in the very heat of our judi-
cial fever ; he would not have excited more attention
than Mathee, and ail M. Pasquier's eloquence would
have been eclipsed by M. Decous's oratory; the simar
of the Chaucellor of Franc would have disappeared
' behind the gown of the Advocate-General of M. de
Pourceaugnai's country ; and, such has been the parox-
ysm of curiosity and interest with which all Parsth hast

Applicants for Shares are hereby informed that the
Honourable Court of Directors of the East India Company
have signified by letter, dated 16th September, 1840, that.
" they are prepared to authorize the Government of India to
grant a Charter to the proposed Bank of Asia," on certain con-
ditions.

The principle of a Bank for British India has now received
the sanction of her Alajesty's Government and of the Honour-
able East India Company, and the conditions of the Charters
from the Cro,vn and from the Indian Government, conveying a
limitation of responsibility to the Shareholders in England and
in India, are in progres3 of negotiation.
One per cent. deposit on all applications for Shares must be
paid into the Bankers of the Company—Messrs. Smith, Payne,
and Smiths, Lombard-street; or Messrs. Berries, Farquhar,

' entitled to registration; and the allotment of the Shares in-
tended for distribution in England will take place when the
w?cessary preliminary details have been completed. The Di-
rectors reser-re to themselves the right of appropriating the
Shares in such manner as they may deem conducive to the for-
mation of a solid and permanent proprietary.
For further required information, apply at the Offices of the
Bank, 62, .Moorgate-street.

Of all the tirades in favour of the starvation
laws which we have read or heard of, an article
hi the Dublin Evening Mail of
last Monday is the
most preposterous. So far as Ireland is concerned,
the total and immediate abolition of all the taxes on
food would merely bring foreign corn into competi-
tion in the English markets with Irish
in „0:0monore, than
Ireland is an exporting country, grow

REVIVAL OF THE DRAMA.

I-Icr *Majesty conferred a great. and lasting obli-
gation on all tlw lovers of our National Drama in
having commanded the reappearance of Eagland':,, great
comedian on the stage. But there is another Charles
—tvi;ll reverence be it spoken—as great as he. IS
Mr. Young altogether inexorable ? Is it quite impos-
sible to induce him to follow the example of his great
compeer ? And are we forbidden to cherish the ho2e
of once more witnessing the Brutus of Charles Young,
and the Mare Antony of Charles Kemble? Suob
a conjunction would go far towards a revival of t!De
palmy days of the Drama—when genius, chastened
and disciplined by severe study, was justly appreciated,
and honoured by applauding thousands. Mr. Youeg
appears to be in as good health as he ever was, and if
he has recovered his voice, we cannot see why Ile
should not come forward with another actor older thin
himself, to gratify not only the national taste of our
youthful Queen, but of all those who look with regret
to the blank caused by the retirement of the last of the
Kemble school.

TO THE EDITOl? OF THE SUN.
Norwich, March 25, 1834.
Sin—The Town Connell of this city and borough met
yesterday, for the purpose of considering the question of
the Corn-laws.
The discussion commenced at a quarter past twelve, and
lasted newly four o'clock in the afternoon. It was
moved and wconded that a petition from the Council be
presented to Parliament, the prayer of which was (in sub-
stance) that the .present system of Corn-laws should be
abolished, and a duty substituted on Foreign Coln, for the
protection of the farmer, graduating down till it would
eventually cease.
Tk's was sttongly opposed by all the Tories, and one
Whig gentleman, who called himself the " Pool Man's
Friend," and was met by a negative motion.
Upon a division, there appeared—

s rved that he was glad that the s übject mentioned by
Mr.Thomasson was exciting the attention of the Factory •
Inspectors In their last report, whiith was dated in June,
reverence was made to the conchtimi of the cotton trade, '!
and it was then stated that, out of 4,42.18 cot ton factories.
245 were wholly stopped—besides line woollen and silk
trades being considerably affected. Since that time,
which was now nine months ago, he had no doubt that
that the number of establishments that had suspended
their operatim;s were il,ubled, and that we might now
reckon on 500 mills which were not working at all.
Some time ago he was conversing- with one of the
most intelligent men amongst machine-makers, who in-
formed him that he could snake out a list of 1,000.000
spindle,;, used for cotton-spinning, and that, in.all pro-
bability would never he osed again.
, Mr. CALLENDER said the discussion had been long
and interesting. There wias, however, one part ofthe
argument that he regretted had not been gone further
into. He alluded to our duty, .as Christian men, in re-
ference to this measure. Whenever he tool: a view of this
subject, he felt deeply convioccd that unless they endea-
voured to remove those obnoxious laws, they were not
discharging their duty, as Chiiitian-•men, towards their
fellow-men. When he saw that the very dogs and
horses that passed along the strt: eta' had a protection
granted to them by the law, which, by the Corn-laws,
was denied to our fellow-men, hl did not forget the lan-
guage that bad once been used—that 'when God cursed
the earth for the sin of mani,:nd, hte,nan legislation
added to that curse an amount of mviery that our
munificent Creator never intended we should bear
and if ghat view of the case were only taker, up by those
who had the talent for speaking, and puet before the
public, he thought the objections to the word " imme-
diate" could no longer have any place in the mind-
The motion was carried unanimously, and the meet-
ing then separated.

HILL COOLIES.

Mr. MACKINNON begged to ask the Nobie
Lord whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Go-
vernment to allow the importation of Hill Coolies into
the Mauritius and the West India Islands, or whether
he had any objection to the production of the des-
patches addressed to the Governors of the \Vest India
Hands.

production of the instructions sent out ; they were
ready ; and if the Hoa. Member moved for them, Le
could obtain the information he desired.

PREPARATIONS AGAINST CHINA.

Mr. JOHN A. SMITH said the Naval and Mili-
tary Preparations going on in India being now matter
of public notoriety, and as great anxiety existed on
the subject. he wished to ask the Noble Lord whether
he had any objection to, state the object of the ex-
pedition, and when it was likely to take place ?
Llal J. RUSSELL said in answer to the Hon.
Gentleman's question, he begged to refer him to the
answer he had given on a former occasion to a question
put to him by alloble Lord on the other side of the House.
He had then been asked whether a declaration of war
had not been made by the Governor-General of India
against China, and his reply was that the Government
had received no official information on the sub-
ject, and could not believe that report to be well
founded, but that it probably arose from the order
sent out by the Government to make certain prepara-
tions. What he had then stated had turned out to be
the fact, as had been proved by the recent arrival of
official despatches. The orders sent out were
to make preparations to have a certain naval
and military force in readiness. The Honourable
Gentleman now asked him what was the abject of
these preparatons, and he could only state very gene-
rally what they were. In the first place they
were to obtain reparation for the insults and in-
juries
offered to her Majesty's Superintendent,
and her Majesty's subjects, by the Chinese Go-
vernment ; and, in the second place, they were to
obtain for the merchants trading with China an indem-
nification for the loss of their property, incurred by
threats of violence offered by persons under the
direction of the Chinese Government ; and, in the last
place, they were to obtain a certain security that per-
sons and property in future trading with China shall be
protected from insult or injury, and that their trade and
commerce would be_ maintained upon a proper footing.

LITLITEItA uitE.

HISTORY OF THE HUGUENOTS.
Whianker, London, 1840
The work before us forms the second Number of the
" Popular Library of Modern Authors," and is from
the pen of Mr. Browning. it is a history of the Re-
formed Church from the earliest period to the present
times, and, among other curious matiers, gives the ful-
-I..st details we have yet.met with, of the atrocious mas•
sacres of St. Bartholomew, which surpassed in horror
even the worst excesses of the Reign of Terror. The
work has long been popular, and the present is merely
republictstion of it ; we need not, therefore, enlarge on
the subject, further than to recommend it to the atten-
tion of those who would wish to get an insight into the
►:.onstrcus frauds and cruelties that have been practised
undor the name of religion.

LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND,

Vol. ll.—dlburn, London, 1840.

This volume commences with the Life of Berengaria,
Queen of Richard the First, and concludes with that
of Anne of Bohemia, who was the first wife of Richard
the Second. Miss Strickland, the authoress, has shown
great extent of research in her task, having carefully
compiled her biographies from official records and other
r.uthentic documents, private as well as public, not a
few of which have never been investigated till now.
The most entertaining life—a';. least the one which must
bounds in curious matters of information—is that of
Queen Berengaria, in which a novelist, like Mr. James,
might find some excellent materials for the purpose of
romance. By way of frontispiece, the volume coutai`ns
en engraving representing the worthy consort- of our
lion-hearted Richard received at Acre by. Phillip
Augustus of France.

POEMS OF CHIVALRY, 4-c.
Smith and Elder, London, 1840.
" The, age of chivalry," says Burke, "is gone ;" and
he taste for poems of chivalry has,-we tear, gone too.
We therefore cannot anticipate much popularity for this
unassuming little volume of verse, yet it contains many
pleasing thoughts expressed in bartnon:otts language.

LECTURES ON BURKE AND MILTON.
We have now before us two Lectures delivered at
several of the Metropolitan Literary Institutions, by a
gentleman named Fry (of Lincoln's Inn), upon the
characters and writings of those two illustrious lumina-
ries of English literature, our Homer and our Der:los-
t/iv:es—the one the very genius of sublime intellect,
the other the rising sun of senatorial eloquence.
We have a high opinion of the beneficial effects which
mutt be produced by the diffusion, in a popular form,
through the medium of these institutions, of the influence
of such master spirits of our language ; and the Lecturer
has wel accomplished this object. Most heartily do
we rejoice, especially in the laudable attempt to rescue
from absurd malignity or ignorant neglect the trazni-
ficcot prose of Milton—bursting as it is, with noble and
-elevated thought, and enriched by the same gorgeous
imagination which sheds so imposing a lustre over his
poetry.
