MEETING AT LEEDS. ON IRE INDIA AND
CifINA T1C11,11..
•
On Saturday a meeting of merchant'', Inanufantult
and other inhabitants, convened by the Mayor in
Court House, at Leeds, to consider the 'propriety of
tioning both Houses of Parliament for a Free lee
between Great Britaiii, the East Indies, and Chins, and'
for permission to trade and settle in the interior of India,
on the approaching termination of the Charter of the
East India Company. The following Resolutions were
agreed to :
1. That the trade of Great Britain with the last Isdistand.Chins
is of great importance to this country, se sending mese anteelve
Imarkets for the products of British industry, sot supplying *Oar
own population many articles of general erneensples se etiessedd

I. That until the year 1814 Sao trade between Great Britain and
all die countries east of the Cape of Good Hope was Monopolised by
the Bast India Company i that since that time private merchants have
hen alloyed Is leadoeCsientta, Aladras,Bonaboy, and Penang, and
Mils free port of ilhapposs; but that the East India Company still
retains an absolute tulof the trade to China. and the power
of preventing any 1••• from residing in India,*
or trading or
holding lands in the lm fro
country.
3. That under the meepely of the Bast India Company, the trade
sabred a'great decline between. the yeats 1794 and 1614; dee:ports
from Great Britain to India and China having been of the
value of 2,924,G211. at the- fend period, and only 1,699,13101 at
the latter periods that as rasa as the trade to India was partially
thrown open on the last amewal of the East India Cowpony's
charter, the trade began to 'erase rapidly, and the exports. of the
year 1528 exceeded those of 1814 by 3,591,1191 theta 1814
having been, according to the declared value, 1,891,2341 and thee
of Ills 5,212,3531
4. That such being been the unfavourable reed es of the last

poirtial opening of the trade with India, there an the Moogest

footmen Gnat Britain, the East Indies, and China, would be -foil
lowed by a very great extension of the trade, sod by a vastly is.l
creased demand for British manufactures.
5. That not only Would a free trade to the East give a great st 4
males tar British Whitey, by affording an hanaseidemand for It
podeactioss, but it would also enable the peopled chit country Is
obtain the important article of tea at a much cheaper Teethe thsy
do at present, the price of teas being now much higher at. the sales
of the East India Company than In the marlins of Holland, Flanders,
and the United States; that by the wholesome competition of pri.
vote traders, a very groat reduction has taken *saline the year
1814 to the British consumer in the price of many articles oflnftn
produce, and that a similar reduction in the price of the new
filed articles of China produce may be expected, if the trade- to
country should be thrown open.
6. That the employment of British skill and capital in the inte-
rior of India would rapidly improve the agriculture of that country,
is appears certain from the vitriol: 4=y mean that has attended
thecoltivaSon of indigo there by Europeans; that there is every
reason. to believe thoothe enton.wool end raw silk of India, which

Yesterday the inspector of the watch of the Caribill district
waited upon the LORD BLITOk fn 0004011RIMCO of the account of a
robbery which had taken place at the doors of the Loudon Tavern
on the preceding day. He stated that at the time the tesnmedon
took place the Cain Mil watch and officers were at their posts, ready
for active duty, but no application whatever was made to them Aar
assistance. They saw the crowd advancing, but as their assistance
was not at all required they remained as they were. If the slightest
intimation had been given to them, they would :not have Imitated
to render ell necomory aid.

Yesterday morning, J. Pitaher, a by and straw salesman, sp-
rlfelheres Mr. HALL., the siViiirtnastrate, to answer so an
irmation which had been laid l foe having sold in the
public Haymarket, on the Bth instant, 38 trusses of straw, without
having previstely registered than wish the clerk of the market, as
required by the act,,
The defendant

pleaded Not Guilty.
TYR ansikinant, Mr. Jan Olding, of Spies Garden, stated,
AMY Ills' day mentkeed in the informaden,-be purehased the
omittky of straw abiire stated of the defendant, and it was delivered
acids stables that same afternoon ; but en weighing one of the
trusses soon afterwards, it was found to be wanting in weight, which
subsequently led to • the fact that it had not been regi. He,
complainant, therefore efore thought It a duty which he ow stered
ed to the public
and himself to lay the information, in order that an imposition so
unpardonable ;night not again be Practised.
The defendant was unable to get rid of the.faets pf.nearegistry.
Mr. Halms said it was perfectly obvious that the meson the straw
W not been registered, was because it was not weight. He there-
into thought it a case for the Infliction of the full penalty, and ac-
ossilingl convicted the defendant Ina Bacot 40e. and 10s. 6d. costs.
