TO TOE PROPRIBTORS.OF EAST-INDIA STOCK.
'LADIES AND GENTLIMENt
THE retirement of Sir DAVID SCOTT, Bart. in
consequence of in health, having created a . Vacancy in
vour Executive Body, I embrace the tint opportunity to offer
Llvielf as a Candidate for it. While I regret, in common with
cher Proprietors, the loss which the Public must sustain by
Cte restmation of so able and valuable a Director, allow me tc
you, that should your protection and patronage place me
is that situation. my time and attention shall be exclusively de-
voted to the faithful discharge of its important duties; and I
hope that the support which I have already experienced, of 860
Votes, upon the last Ballot, and my first appeal to your suf-
frages, will justify my pretensions upon the present vacancy;
without alhaling more particularly to my own personal qualifi-
c.itions. That support has been a real source of pride and sat's-
f.:,:tion to me; and, should I, on this occasion, succeed to the
honourable distinction of a seat in the management of your
::canes to which I have long aspired; it will be my constant
:Irak atisious desire, as well as try duty, to prove that I have
not been undeserving of your favour..
I have the honour to be, Laaies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient and faithful servant.

JOSIAS-DU PitE ALIMANDER.

N.B. The day of Election is fixed for WEDNESDAY, 16th inst.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
I..ta:E3 AND GENTLEMEN,

JL LOSE no time in announcing my determination
to abstain from offering myself as a Candidate to fill the
Vacancy occasioned by the Resignation of Sir amp Scorn,
Bart. and I proceed to submit to you the grounds of that der
et :Inination

Front the earliest period of my canvass, I have uniformly
tit:l:Jed, that zs I considered my Friend and Relative, Mr.
Nat I.lENJamitt Enstoisvoizt, to be peculiarly qualified to fill
the si:;:ation of a Director of your Aftirtt, frcm eminent talents
and gentral local information, I should be the last person to
Ifer any opposition to his success as a Candidate; and as the
t.o::fic..'ion of his intention to come fos ward in that capacity on
tic preat nt occasion' has been issued, I merely Let with con-
sist.ticy in submitting to you the resolution which I have above
am.ounctd, and. I have the satisfaction to know, that the few
Friends wbt m I have been able to consult, in the short time
which has elapsed since the Vacancy has been declared, approve
cf susperdirg my pretensions, and yielding to the superior
soul.ncat:ons of a Candidate, in whose favour public opinion is
Etrleray known to prevail.

I have only further to express my hope and confidence, that
this principle of action will be deemed just and honourable, and
fir from impairing, will rather tend to promote my success, on
a future Vacancy, by shelving that I am guided less by motives
of self-interest, than of public expediency, and by affording a
ground of confidence to the general body of Proprietors, that I
shall, at all times, be prepared to prefer the public interest to
my oven. I remain, Ladles and Gentlemen,
With great respect, your very-obedient Servant,
Portland-place, Aug. 4,1820. A. WELLAND.
PROVIDENT LIFE -OFFICE, REGENT-STREET:-
DERSONS insured for Life in this Office share the
Profits septennially with the original Members, according
to their respective Contributions. Thus, by the specific Sums
irsared, and contingent Profits, they have the fullest value foe
-their Payments, in a manner nearly similar to that until lately
adopted in the Equitable Office but with this presumed Im-
Frovernent, viz. that as the original Members have raised a per-
r,•.nent Fund, deemed amply sufficient for the purpose of indem-
ray, it is provided, that no personal responsibility shall attach
to the Policy-holders. Hence those who seek protection are
vetzed from uncertainty and risk of loss as in a Proprietary
o:lice, having a large inheritable Capital, and are entitled to a
participation in the Profits, as in a Union Society. These Pro-
Etc have been realized to a considerable extent ; the first septen-
tial Dividend was £l3 85. per cent. ; the second (recently made),
41-26 12s.—together £4O per cent.
'Military Men insured at this Office are not charged with any
additional premium unless called into actual service.
No Admission Fees are recriired, nor is any charge made for
Policies, except the Stamp D.ty.
