TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT LIVERY
OF THE CITY OF LONDON.

GENTLEMEN,

T is under the influence of the deepest feeling
that I acquaint you with my intention not to prcsmt my.
self as a' CANDIDATE lbr the Representation of the City
of London in Parliaments at the ensuing Election. Bearinz
is
mind, as I must always most gratefully do, the flattering cir-,
cumstances under which I was first included to offer myself for
your choice, as well as the kindness and confidence I have ever
since experienced at your hands, and hying every reason to be-
lieve in the continuance of your favour, it has required the
strongest motives to make me decline soliciting to be replaced
in the honourable situation to Which you elevated me, but I find
its arduous duties beyond my present strength, and entirely in-
compatible with.the attention to my commercial pursuits, which
I consider due to my family.
However inadequate my abilities may have proved to the
opinion your partiality prompted you to form of them, I trust
I may still claim your approbation as far as regards an hone't
and anxious discharge of the trust reposed in me, and that I
may be allowed the conviction, that on no occasion have I
treated with indifference or disrespect the interests, wishes, or
commands, of any one of my Constituents.
I cannot conclude without again expressing my warmest
thanks for the repeated marks of favour conferred upon me,
and for me indulgence with which you have always viewed my
Parliamentary conduct : and I have the honour to remain, with
every sentiment of respect and attachment,

Gentlemen,
Your much obliged and faithful humble servant,
(Signed) THOMAS WILSON.

EQUITABLE TEA AGENCY COMPANY.

Yesterday Mr. Jonti ii Touat tNo
tor of Fenchurch-street, applied 14- the Lotto
Mayou, at the Mansion lion-e, upon the part of
a country tea-dealer, Mr. NICHOLAS 1.313.1., for
his Lordship's assistance in obtaining restitution
of a sum of money %Itic.ll the managing director
of the Equitable- Tea Agency Company contrived
to get from
The prospectus stated, that it would require no elaborate
calculations, nor any verbose detail to point oUt the advan-
tages that may he obtained by taking shares iii this Company ;
that it was well known, that for half a century the tea trade
had been a monopoly to a few !souses of large capital, who have
made princely fortunes, and the Country tea-dealer has been
ground down by a combination of wholesale dealers; that the
Most experienced Pages should be employed RI the purpose
of clamming and reporting on the quality of all tos.Mtendeti
for sale by the East. India Company t that the shareholders
should be allowed 25 per cent. oir the coortnission of all orders
procured by them, which privilege was to follow the shares
when tranyferred ; and that the management of the Company

holder of 10 shires. to haste one vote, 2 shares two votes, Mt
shares three votes, 100 shares four votes, and no shareholder to
have more than four votes. -
Mr. Torriano stated, that his client had become acquainted
with William (foundry, the Managing Director, a Member
of the Society of Friends, when the latter Waft traveller for an
extensive tea dealer, named Nicholson, with whom Sir. Bell
used to deal. The acquaintance was very slight, btu Mr.
(laundry took cam, at a meeting which accidentally took place
afterwards in the country, to imptove it, and introduced him.
self as a partner in the Equitable Tea Agency Company,
which he represented as a Company abounding with the most
brilliant advantages, and infinitely superior to any other In
existence. Mr. Bell was induced to transmit to Wm. (limitary
bills for 'upwards of 901. for tea, and to which he teveived the
following answet
" Respected Friend—l receiVed thy letter yesterday. The
bill on Masterman and Co. I got sliscounad on Saturday last,
and within one hour I forwarded a chest of tea 78 breah, per
Snell and Co., as per receipt. I have given the othtr bill to be
discounted, and if it is not done immediately, I will return
it. I even asked the acceptors it' they would discount it theth_
selves. 1 know the bill to be its good a one as any in London,
but our Directors will not send tea until the bills are in cash.
" Annexed are a copy of the tea declared for next sale ; Cons
goes are at a profit.
" I shall not lose one hour when the bill is discounted in
forwarding the teits.-1. remain, thine respectfully,
" WM. GOUNDRY."

All he received or the tea ordered was one chest, Value about
21!. Or 22/., and all his subsequent applications proved ineffec-
tual. In answer to a pressing application, 31r. lioundry sent
the following letter, which contained the number of shares in
the equitable Tea Agency CoMpaig. These shares, though
their value was :dated as very considerable, moved to he alto-
gether useless, anti not at all marketable. Mr. Bell, although
he had sent his bills for the tea, and ha for the shares, was
debited with the amount of the shares which he had io his
possession, and which were not acknowledged by the gentle-
men whose names appeared along with that of 51r. Goon.
dry, In the list of Directors. The bills were paid when they
became due, and Mr. Bell was out of pocket by the trans-
action, and to remain so, except the Lord Mayor would
intet pulse :
" Respected Friend, N. Bell—lnclosed are 20 shares ; 10
for thy brother, and 10 for thyself ; six of each are left blank,
so that you may hold them yourselves, or any of your friends,
by adding the name.Snd address, and forwarding them to me,
will be. entered in the books to the -won holding. Each
share is worth in London 71. 10s..
" t hope to-morrow to forward thy teas, as money is a scarce
thing ; better to-day. I shall not tote one hour that can be
saved in time. lam now examining all the transactions that
hove taken place during the panic, and if any mistakes have
occurred they will be immediately rectified.
W. GOLINDWV."
The LORD MAYOR said he perceived by the prospectOs
that there were to be ilium:mite profits arising from this Com-
pany) and !ie also saw by Mr. Goundry's letters, that there
were to be no lawyer's bills to eat up the profits—(a laugh) ;
and that the sin' 4p sent in lieu of the balance 01.71/. or 721.,
amounted, upon tilt very fate of them (for upon each of them,
it was stated, that the holder was entitled to M.) to the sum of
100/. Besides all this, it appeared that the Country dealers were
the persons principally to be benetitted. Ile supposed, putting
all these advantages together, that Mr. Hell was induced to
take the shares. _ _ _

Mr: Torriano said his client would swear, that itched never
consented to take the shares in lieu of the money.
The Loan MAYOR said he was still disposed tti think that
Mr. Bell had been gulled: Anti yet it was hard to suppose
that a man could be such a fool as to be prevailed upon to part
with his mohey under such circumstances. fits Lordship
asked, what was the amount of the capital upon which the'
Company intended to work ?
Mr. 8e11.,-,hive hundred thousand pounda.
The LOUD MAvou—Ay, you were dazzled by the large
amount ?
Mr. Nell—No, my Lord, I was certainly induced to give an
order for tea, but I had nothing to do with the shares.
The Lahti Mayon—Then there has been a misapplication
of your money. have you ever seen the Directors ut.°,ll the
subject
Mr. Torriano said, he had called upon some of the Directors,
but they said they knew nothing at all about the matter, and
that they would readily appear before the Lord Mayor upon the
subject.
• wMr. Bellsaith that the postage of the lettet enclosing the
'tee bad cost him 7s. lid.
The ho RD MAYOR—And how much are your shares worth?
Mr. Torriano—Not a farthing. The company was got up
by Mr. Goundry himself, and nobody knows anything about
it but the projector. There is nobody on the premises but a
poor blind man. 'He then read the following letter, which wee
evidently written with a view to impress Mr. Bell's mind with b
favourable opinion of the company I--

itosTATIo N.
l'he ftriloschig arb the particolurs given by Mr;.
Gat LEN or the phetiohletta observed by him durihg
his lute ascent :

. . .
He states, Unit front the stormintis tht weather, he enter:
mined serious apirreltensions lest in rising trout the grout* the
halloos should be driven against one or ewer of the surrounding
houses, and in order to guard against stich a calamity, caused it
to be inflated considerably beyond the extent originally Intend. -
ed. By this precaution they gained on ascending power, which
carried them rapidly, and almost perpendiciilarly, to a consider:
able elevation, when entering avloud, they lostsight of the earth.
They continued for some minutes to pans through a succession
-of clouds, which were piled one above another, those lowest
being, as ;Ishii!, the. most dense and opaque, and at last
emerged into a. pure expanse, in which not it cloud or vapour was
to be seen, and where the sun wits shining with the utmost bril-
liancy. They soon experienced excessive heat] the rays of the
sun being concentrated, and reflected back uptth them from
the clouds below, and the thermometer, which a few minutes
before was below 60, rose rapidly to 70. The expansion of
the gas, produced by this increase of temperature, was :al
great, that although the valve was opened to its greatest ex,
tent to admit its escape, they still continued to ascend, and in
17 minutes from the time of • quitting the earth, they found
themselves at a height of nearly two miles above its surface.
The barometer, which had stood at' 29 degrees and 7-fifths on
their rising from, the ground, was now sunk to 21 and 3-10ths;
On looking down front this eleyation at the clouds through
which they had passed,. Mr. Green says they appeared to hint
just bite a vast extent ot country covered with snow. They alsti
now perceived in the clouds opposite to the sun, a must beauti-
ful and perfect reflection of their balloon And its appendages,
encircled by two haloes, presenting with the utmost vividness
all the ratted colours of the minnow. The nearest halo was
about 100 yards from the reflected balloon, and the other
about twice us far. The former was the most brilliant. Tne
clouds in which this curious illusion wits obsvrved were about
3,000 feet distant. Mr. Green states the appearance to be tire
from unusual, but that he never remembers having seen it •
when the sun was more than 50, or less than 40 degrees above
the horizon. It is not often, however, he • says, that die
colours are so vivid as on tins occasion. The illusion did
not cease during the whole tithe thegkemained at this height,
but followed the progress of the balloon, and aflitrded the
aerunauta, •by its motions, an easy mode of ascertaining the
direction they were proceeding in. It has been stated that
,birds let loose at this height betray symptoms of tear, and
soon become exhausted, owing to the extreme rarity of the
air. On the contrary, three pigeons let fly on this occasion
(and Mr. Green says he his observed the saute thing on many
former ones) kept flying about in all directions near the bal-
loon, and had not commenced their descent so long as they
. .

•a
remained in sight of the aeronauts. In the course of the
evening they returned home without appearing to be in the
least exhausted. After continuing at this elevation near.
ly an hour, 111 r. Green commenced his descent, and in about
a quarter of an hour wax sufficiently near the earth to be
able to ascertain that he was floating over part. Of Kent;
but on descending about JIM feet lower, the balloon entered WO
a fresh Current at' air, which carried hint semis the river into
Essex, and in a few minutes utter he effected a safe anti I any,
landing on the estate of Joseph .'Martin, Esq. at. Rainham,
near !larking. Several gentlemen in the neighbourhood, with
'true English hospitality, invited the travellers to their respec-
tive houses ; but Mr. Green, anxious to convince his friends
in London of his safety, declined their invitations, and havizig
procured a postehalse, returned tothe•metropolis by 10 o'clock
at night, bringing with him his balloon. The valve by which
the escape of die gas is regulated is upon a new construction,
and ix so decided an improvement, that Mr. Green says he cati'
exhaust the balloon in one.tenth of the time it used previously
to recluire for that purpose.--As a general observation, Mr.
Green states, that at an elevation of 3,000 feet, the earth ap-
pears to he one continuous level, the hotises and trees appear-
mg as so ninny coloured patches upon ilea surface. Indeed, her
perfect is the illusion, thet Mr. Green, jan4, on..thoottaition of
his first trip, actually mistook .a plantation of trees fire a bean-
held. Rivers and lakes are at all times prominent objects,-and
when the sun Is shining upon them, have all the appearance of
highly polished metal ; the fotnter Mr. Green compares to a
vein of silver running along the surface of the earth. when
the sun does not shine on these objects, they have a dultand
heavy aspecte The appearance of the sea, when the sun is
shining on it, Mr. Green pronounces to be grand in the ex.:
treme, presenting, as far as the eye can reach, one sheet of
polished steel.

BAPTiot ItEtlisTußsr—An actieli was lately
raised before the Sheriff' of Aberdeen, at the instance of the
keeper of a parish register for births and baptisinsi and oldie
kirk beadles, for the ordinary dues of registration, against cer.
tain persons who refused to register their children's names-.-
The pursuers ,maintained that this claim was authorised by a
decree of the Court of Session, in the ease of the Session. Clerk
of Dunfermline against JameS tlityno and. others, .26th June,
1765. The defenders, on. the other hand, contended that the
dues in titiestion could only be demanded as a recompence ,for
,tnible, and that as they did not choose to register their t.b
en's names in the parish register, and had not employed- the
pursuers in any way, the action was untenahle. The blecitr
deemed against the defenders, and found them liable in casts

General.

A change in the Ministry ,dally becomes :more probable, as
the Doke del 'lnfantado is resolved to retire. General Egola,
Captain:General of Galicia, nephew of. the Captain-General of
the same name, is spoken of as Minister of War; and M.
Eno, Army Intendant, as Minister of Finance but only ad

predecessor. _ _ _

A decree, which will aPPear immediately, for it ,has been
scut to the Minister of Finance, ordains in substance, that all
those persons who have purchased
,national estates since 1820,
shall lose not only those estates, but the money which they
ir.ve paid for them.
