The CHAIRMAN was then proceeding to read a let- , with much animation and force on the ruinous come-

read, he should be precluded from speaking, opposed !and adopting a line of conduct accommodating •and
the reading of,the letter, as contrary to order. I conciliatory."
Mr. PARRY contended, that the Chairman having
decided on a manner of proceeding, no Member was
intitled to oppose it on the ground of order.
After a most uninteresting discussion on the ques-
tion, whether this letter which was directed to the
Chairman and Deputy Chairman, were a private or
public communication, Mr. Jackson, undeistandipg
that he should not be precluded from speaking on
making his motion, consented that the letter slrould
be read. The letter was then read : it contained a
notice of a motion, that a Special Court be slim-
molted on the 7th of January, to consider a proliosi.
tion, rbit on Proprietors be eligible to Comnißtees
who are not entitled to vote at a General Court;
and also, a that an additions be -made to lb* Bye
Laws, that no Proprietor, not entitled to vote in
General Court, be allowed to take a part in the dis-
cussions."

Mr. JACKSON then moved, " that the Court be
cleared of strangers as often as any Propiietor, not'
qualified to vote, attempted to speak ;" in conse-
quence of which. these unqualified Proprietors would
be requested to .efthilraw,—Mr. J. having, on the
suggestion of Mr. Thornton, the Chairman, con-
sented to atter the day fitted in his motion, from the
14th to the 21st of Actuary, moved that on the
21st of January a Special Court of Proprietors be
summoned for the purpose above specified.
Mr. PLostEtt, Mr. Aims) and Mr. Dixon., ex-
Pressed their opinions in opposition to the proposi-
tion
which was to he brought before the Court.
Mr. C. Geetrcr, sen. gave his opinion, that as the
law at present stood, the Proprietors not qualified
to vote were qualified to speak.
The Motion was then put and carried.
The CHAIRMAN, as it appeared, having also a letter
from Mr. Hume, informed the Court that he would
read it : but
Mr. Home opposed the reading, on which a discus-
sion arose of some length.
Mr. Dittos observed, that if suffered to depart
without hearing this letter, they might imagine it to
be some extraordinary performance, while perhaps it '
was that water-gruel thing—an ordinary letter.
The question being put, that the letter be read, it
passed in the negative.
Mr. Hews then gave notice of a motion (to which
the letter referred), viz. " That no sum of money
be voted to any iudividual, in a General Court, un-
less 40 Proprietors be present."
The motion was:fixed for the 21st of January.
Mr. KENNET SNIT:t asked the Chairman whether
any thing had been done by the Directors for the re-
lief of the Commanders and Officers of the Com-
pany's shipping ?
The Cu tiRmAN answered in the negative.
Mr. X. SMITH then gave notice of a motion on the
subject, and also of another motion to abolish the
regulation under which the Captains of ships paid
to the Company 5001. for each voyage. On'an assu-
rance, however, from the Chairman, that the Court
of Directors had the subject under their cousidera-
tion, both these notices were withdrawn.
Mr. flume said, that hearing the sum voted to Ge-
neral Hislop was of an unprecedented mapitude
(30001). he !toped the Directors were prepared with
documents to prove the propriety of the grant. lie
also observed, that the precise sum not being men.
doom, in the notice, the motion would fall to the.
ground, in consequence of a bye law which required
this observance.
The Ohms,* Iv , the Directors were prepared
with the reti cuments, and consented to the
alteration ut toe notice.—Adjourned.

Saturday evening last, as the Rev. Evan Jones,
who resides near Portman-gate, on the Harrow-road,
was returving home, soon after seven o'clock, in a
single horse chaise, he was stopped between the se-
coot! and third mile-stone on the Harrow-road, by a
single footpad, who seized the horse's reins, present-
ed a pistol to Mr. Jones, and, with horrid threats, ,
demanded his money, and robbed him of his pocket-
containing several Bank of England notes,
and a Bill of Exchange for 501. with which he made
his escape.
