By order of the committee appointed in this place for the support of trade, I take the liberty to inform you, that a petition was presented to the House of Commons on the 6th instant, by Mr. Arkwright, for an extension of the time of his patent for spinning cotton, and that it is the opinion of this Committee, that, if he should succeed in his petition, it would be very greatly injurious to the commerce of this county, as well as many others who are concerned in the manufacture of cotton.
