COIAT 4)).. COMMON COUNCIL.-otl Saturday a
Court of CommunsCouncil was held for the purpose
of taking into consideration the best means of secur.
ing to the Port of London the exclusive Trade to the
East Indies.

Mr. QUIN concluded a forcible speech by moving a
Resolution, that Petitions should be presented to
both Houses of Parliament, against the trade being
extended to the out-posts.
Mr. BELL seconded the Resolution, and expressed
a hope, that persons who stood up to support the
advantages enjoyed try the City of London, with re-
ference to the East India Trade, vivid not be
considered as wanting liberality. It was a for-
tunate circumstance for the East India Con►-
pany, he said, that the question had been agi-
tated, because discussion had removed from the
minds of many, an impression, that great abases
existed in the Trade to India. They had to
consider the Trade, on this occasion, connected with
the Port of London. He then stated the principal
advantages which the City derived by the trade ; in-
dependent of which, the India Company paid a large
.portion of the City Parochial Taxation. In one pa-
ri,h they paid 6001. a-year. By their removal they
would throw a large harden on the inhabitants, and
prove a great loss to the City. If the Trade was re-
moved from London, he was convinced that not one
article more of the manufacture of the country would
be exported. He contended, in a very able speech,
that the country could get nothing by breaking in
upon the present Trade, as it stood with respect to
London.

after some observations from Mr. ptiost, Alder-
men CURTIS, BIRCH, ATKINS, Mr. DURNPORD, Mr.
FA-EL, and others, in support of the Motion, the
Resolution was carried unanimously.—Adjourned.

Mmunonounu-sTaterr.—A discharged footman
was, on Saturday, committed for trial, charged with
an attempt to extort money from his late master, by
threatening to accuse him of a most detestable crime.
ExECUTION.—On Monday, David Thompson
Byers, late linen-draper, in Stamford, underwent
the sentence of the law, at the usual place of execa-
Ition, near Peterborough, in the presence of at least
6000 spectators, for an unnatural crime.

Saturday morning early, twenty convicts were re-
moved from Newgate to Portsmouth, to be trans-
ported to Botany Bay, among whom was Mr.Jcmolf,
for stealing a number of dollars.
