EAST INDIA HOUSE, APRIL 23.

(Continued from our Paper of yesterday.)
After a discussion, in which the Chairman, the Deputy-
Chairman, Mr. Randal Jackson, Mr. Astell, and Mrs
Weeding, took part, on the point of order,
Mr. Hunts moved his re,olutiuns as an amendment
to those of Sir Joh❑ Malcolm.
Mr. RIGBY seconded the motion.

The CHAIRMAN inquired in what character the
amendment was to be put ?
Mr. R. Jacxsox said he was empowered by Mr.
Hume to say that neither he nor his friend would ac-
cept of the condition put on them by the Directors,
viz., to move only by way of addition.
The CHAIRMAN said he had only proceeded on the in-
variable rules of the Company, as laid down in :lit their
records, and the Court had already apreed that all the
words in the original resolution should stand part of the

question.
Mr. WIGRAM (Deputy Chairman) protested against
the reception of the Hon. Member's amendment. The
concluding paragraph of the original resolution embodied
in spirit the whole of that proposed by the Hon. Member.
Mr. CUTLER FiSRGUSSON said it was most important
that every proposition made by the Proprietors should re-
ceive the beat attention. He considered that there was
nothing now in the question to prevent the amendment
from being put.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Upon a question
at such great magnitude it should be tried whether there
was no way of getting rid of forms which would shut out
discussion,

The CHAIRMAN said he was bound by the usual
forms and could not alter them. He would therefore
submit a motion to the Court which would clear the way
for the proper conduct of business. The motion was whe-
ther the Court would receive the amendment, a course
which was at variance with all former Courts.
After a few words from Sir CHARLES FORBES, and
Mr. WEEnow, the motion was put and carried, amongst
much confusion, the latter part having been struck out.
Mr. Hume's resolutions were then read.

Mr. CHAPMAN thought that the Company ought long
ago to have allowed the private traders to go to China)
but he could not for one give his consent that the Com-
pany should not continue that trade in competition with
other merchants.
Mr. REEVE denied that the statements as to the price
of teas in England and on the Continent, which were laid
on the table of the House, were correct. In an open trade
the quality of the teas would be deteriorated. When two
or three American ships arrived in China, the price of
tea rose very rapidly ; then what would be the effect of
fifteen private ships going there for tea. Then what
was China to do in the case ? Was she, a trading nation,
likely to deal better with new merchants than with an old
tried and honourable customer ? China was like no other
known country.
