TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
NOTWITHSTANDING the accession of
strength which I received by the election of Mr. Dent to a
seat in the direction of your affairs, my position has been so far
affected by the withdrawal of Mr. Majoribanks in favour of Mr.
Astell as to make my success on the present vacancy very doubtful
—under these circumstances I placed myself in the hands of
my friends, and they have decided that I should not oppose
Mr. Astell, on the vacancy occasioned by the lamented death of Mr.
Tucker. I have the more readily acceded to this recommendation,
because my position is such as to give me the most confident assurance
of success on the next vacancy, whenever it may occur, and I conse-
quently feel disinclined to occasion unnecessary trouble to the Pro-
prietary. I have, therefore, the honour to announce, that it is not
my Intention to proceed to the ballot upon the present occasion; but
I shall most certainly do so on the next vacancy. I beg to tender
my most grateful thanks to my valued friends and supporters
for their unwearied exertions on my behalf, and earnestly
S the continuance of their support and that of those
Proprietors who have not yet favoured me with the promise of their
votes,

(
furter Journal, says :—" Prince and Princess DE

station was anything but flattering, and even some
hisses were heard."
The Universal German Gazette states that a Bill
is to be almost immediately brought forward in the
Germanic Diet for the formation of a corps d'armie

body of men in the position just mentioned is to ro-

France.

LAND. The model in Zinc of the same work, which
figures in the Exhibition in London, has been pur-
chased by an American for 2,5001. (62,500 f.). M.
Kiss has received orders for two other models of the
same work in zinc, also for amateurs in the United
States."
