proportion of Merchants of acknowleged talents, integrity, and
experience.

Affairs, not only from his long Mercantile experience, but from
his industrious habits and general acquirements as a practical
man of business. Upon these grounds they strongly recom-
mend Mr. MusrnATT to the favourable consideration of the

diency of this recommendation, when they advert to the Com-
pany's having been in the last few years deprived of several
Mercantile Members of their executive Body.
