TO THE LIVERY OF LONDON., • .
OiDr:maim
T•
N the Letter which I had' the honour US tdctress to
you last year, previous to the Election.day for Lord Mayor,
I took the liberty to state that certain concerns of a private na-
ture would usavoidably prevent my devoting a sufficient portion
of time to the important duties of Chief Magistrate; sod I
humbly requested that my services on that occasion tnight be ,
dispensed with. I acknowledge, with thinkfuhsess, that you
acceded to my request with your usual kindness and liberality;
and it is the remembrance of this which induces me t 6 state
that it will not be until the ensuing year that I can solicit lour
suffrages with the hope of being able to discharge the docks of.
the high station to' be filled up on Friday, with satisfaction to
myself, or in a manner correspondent to that constant and vi 7
gorous assiduity which belongs to the office of tour Chief Ma-
gistrate. But, while thus appealing a second time to the liberal
and just feelings of my brethren, of the Livery, I have yet to
add, that should your sktifrages appear to be decidedly in any fa-
vour, it is my resolution not to shrink from any exercise of duty
with" which you may entrust me; and I am prepared to make
the greatest sacrifices of personal convenience, and exert the ut-
most of my abilities, to maintain the Rights and Privileges of
the City of London. •
I have the honour to be Gentlemen,
Your obedient and most faithful servant,
College-hill, Sept. 27. CHRISTOPHER MAGNAY.

EAST INDIA HOUSE. •

A Quarterly General Court of Prop.rietors of East
India Stock was held yesterday—At the Company's
House in Leadenhall-street, for the purpose of taking
into consideration two Resolutions of the Court of
Directors, the one recommending a grant of £lOOO
per annum to Mr. Barnard, Deputy Coast Ware-
house-keeper ; the other recommending a grant of
£3OO per annum to Mr. Mordaunt, jun. Principal
Clerk in the Coast Warehouse-keeper's Department.
The former was agreed to, after a few observation's
from Mr. Hum& On the question being put with
respect to the grant to Mr. Mordaunt,
Mr. Hume rose, and opposed it, on the ground
that employment might have been found in the In-
dia-house for an individual, to whom the Proprietors
were now called on to vote a very large provision.
The Hon. Proprietor concluded by moving an Amend-1
ment, which went to pledge the Court of Directortl
to find some employment in the India-house for Mt:.
Mordaunt.

Mr. LOWNDES seconded the amendment; which.
was strenuously supported by Mr. RIGEy, who in the
course of his speech, charged the Court of Directors
with acting in subservience to the Board of Controul.
The Chairman (G. A. R•aINBON, Esq.) repelled
the statement of the Honourable Proprietor, and sup-
ported the motion.
Mr. PATTISON also defended the Court of Dim-
tors'; the attack on whose independence he declared
to. be unwarranted and unfounded.

After a few observations from Mr. S. DIXON and
Mr. STRETTZLL, the amendment was negatived, and
The ofiginal question carried.
-The Court then adjourned sine die.
