TRADE IV INDIA. • •
Yesterday a meeting of the Merchant', Traders,
and others, interested in the es port trade to Indiap
was held, according to public notice, at the New
City of London Tiveru, to consider of the best
I means of preventing the threatitied clutuge in the
mode of that trade. The meeting was
.numerously
and respectably attended, and at one o'.clot*, pew
cisely the Lord Mayor took the' Chair.

consider the rank he had Ad henenr to bili, as
, Chief Magistrete of the City of London, bound as
he wai by his oath to watch over the interestset this
capital, and, by virtue of Ms office, Conservator of
the Thames and Medway, every other consideration
gave way to what he conceived his paramount fluty,l
that of supporting, by all the means in his power,
' the interests of the City, and of the port of top- :
don, ‘vhielt would be so materially affected byj
the removal of the East India trade. The Resole,
tions prepared by the Committee should be read to
them, after which he hoped that every gentlemen 1
who might be pleased to deliver his -opinion upon
Ithem, would obtain an Impartial hearing.—[4p-
please.]
Mr. Teesdale, of the request of the Lord Mayor, I
then read the Revolution of the Veeting of the 2.ith
of April last, virtue of whicrthey were called
I together.
The LORD MAYOR said, the Committee had gone',
through the labour of preparing documents which!
would be submitted to the Meeting, and had also
drawn up certain Resolutions which would be sub.
Imined to them for their approval.
Mr. Alderman Arms then rose, and addressed
Ms Lordship and the Meeting. As at a Meeting of
a nature similar to the present, held last year, he had
had the honour of being called to the Chair, the
present Meeting, he hoped, would excuse Mm for
I saying a few words its this stage of the busineas.—
I Every person present Must recollect the clamour
which was raised against the exclusive privileges of
the East India Company, and the Petitions which
were last year presented from all quarters against the
continuance of their enjoyment of that exclusive
trade, statiug, as those Petitions did, what was not the
fact--as to the nature and extent of that exclusive
trade or monopoly. The dissolution of Parliameut
'which had taken place in the mean time, having placed
him (Mr. Alderman Atkins) in a different situation
from, that in which be stood at the time the last
Meeting was held, he now felt himself called on to
state that circumstance to the Meeting, as a rea.
son why he could not continue to act as Chairman of
the Committee appointed at that Meeting. It would
he his duty, however, still to pay every possible at-
tention to the subject, and to weigh all the advan-
tages and disadvantages which might be supposed to
arise en the one side and the other, so as, in another
place, to come to a correct decision on the whele.
tle had well apd attentively considered the matters
and he felt rho hesitation whatever in saying, that oU
A most dispassionate view of all its features, he was,
satisfied that the continuing the export to India 'and
China from the port of London_ alone, was ffiat
hick would prove most advautageoas to the country
at large, while the adoption of a contrary system
would be highly iaturiovui to the best interests ofple
City of London. rhough he could not longer -tem-
