A Meeting of the Merchants, Ship Owners, and Un derwriters, was held yesterday, pursuant to requisition, at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose' of re. ceiving the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the system of the classification of Merchant ship ping at present pursued in the registry books at Lloyd's, with a view to its subsequent consideration at a General Meeting; T. WILSON, Esq. in the Chair. Mr. LINDSAY, Chairman of the Committee, read the Report. *The &port stated the opinion that Surveyors shoula be ap pointed at the Outports, for the better classification of the ships, &c. Mr. LINDSAY observed, that tome Gentlemen of the Committee had obtained an interview with certain Membets of his Majesty's Board of Trade, and had ascertained that that body would have no objection wh.+tever • to the superintendance remaining in the hands of this Committee, even though Parliament should make a grant of money for the support of the Unproved sys tem. The Report had been Lid before that Board, and the Committee had received every assurance of the con currence of his Majesty's Government in their design. He moved that the Report be received, and that a General Meeting of Ship Owners, Merchants, and Un derwriters, be held at the City of London Tavern on the SOth of July, for the purpose of taking the Report into consideraion. Mr. CHAPMAN seconded the Resolution. F.Voiao said, that there had been a commu nication made Irons the Secretary of the Board of Trade. The Board had declined committing Covernment by any positive announcement, but a letter had been re ceived from their Secretary, from which it appeared that tlae Board of Trade approved highly or the proposed alterations, and were of opinion, that it would give rise, to great improvement in the naval architecture of the i country, and that the Lords of their Committee would' be disposed to assist ~in carrying their proposed regu lations into effect, in any manner which might be deemed advisable. Mr. URQUHART rose to animadvert on the manner in which the Committee had conducted its proceedings. In the conduct of their inquiry, they had manifested great irregularity as well as unacquaintance with - the subject. He had proposed amendments which were refused to be entertained an instant. They were con sidered advisable by every nautical man who was pre sent, but finding that the Committee would not listen to him, he had given up his appointment as one of their body, and was no longer present at their investigations. He wished to know why the Committee should have made any application to Government until they had laid their Report before a General Meeting. • Mr. G. F. YOUNG defended the Committee. The highest possi ble authorities had been referred to for information, and he was convinced that the system they had adopted was wiser and better than any other. Mr. UNQUIMAT said, there was no occasion whatever for a Sub- Committee. The question at issue, in feet, was, London against the Outports. The motion for the appointment of the Meeting was agreed to, after some further discussion, and the Meeting separated. VAUXHALL.—The entertainments on Wednesday went off with great eclat, and the fireworks afforded universal "satisfaction. _ A Was PiIItCAUTION.—The glove•makers at Mac. clofield, in consequence of the depression in their trade, are getting rid of all their hands.

DUBLIN. MAY 30. • The Marquis of Downshire, in additicin to the sum of 1001. given by him to the funa in ibis city, raising for the relief of the weavers in the Liberty, bsi also most generously bestowed another 1001. for the benefit of the Belfast wearers.

Leet, Esq. of the General Post Office, was '1 driving through Charlemont-street, in a gig, the horse suddenly took fright at a pig, which ran across the, road. The servant endeavoured to check the horse, but in the attempt the reins broke, and he was thrown our. The animal then set of at full speed down Char lemont-street and Harcoort-road, where the vehicle came in contact with a lamp post, when Mr. Leet was thrown out with great violence. He was immediately conveyed to the shop of Mr. William, apothecarys in Charlemont-street, where Surgeon Macnamara and two other surgeons attended him. At eight O'clock Mr. Leet was conveyed on a litter to his father's house in Grenville-Street, in a state of insensibility ; besides whet injury, his collar bone and several of his ribs are broken.

At a meeting of the shareholders of this Company on Wednesday, a Report was made to the following effect :—According to the original Prospectus, the Capital of 250,0001. *as to be raised in 5,000 shares of 501. each. Only 1,027 shares, however, were subscribed to, and the whole amount of the deposits paid into the hands of the Bankers, amounted to the sum of 2,0541. Upon the strength of this the Directors took the pre- mises formerly the Globe Tavern, in Fleet-street, at a rental of 5001. a Managing Clerk, or Agent, was en gaged at a salary of 8001. and every thing being ripe' for execution, it was announced to the public in the following advertisement:—“ That the Company has proceeded to lay in an extensive stock of the choicest 'Foreign Wines of every description, enumerating their several names,.qualities, and other important particulars; Witt) which the whole country was to be supplied at the reduced prices affixed to each." When the necessary, enquiries were made on the part of the shareholders, it iirppeared that no stock of wine of any importance had ever been laid in, and that the Company depended upon its dciily supply to a few wine merchants in the back ground. The Company owed about 5001. and to mend the• matter, the party of whom the wine was bought, now in the Dock, had a lien upon the same, to the full amount or value, they never having been paid for it. It being deemed necessary that the persons' principally concerned should attend, the meeting was ' adjourned to the Sd of August. ENGLIS/eOPRRA HOUSE.—Mt. MATHEWS was At Mese last night for the last time.this season. He went i,httaigh 'hit'part (which was the whole) with undimi rs;ibed spirit': and all who hestd him laughed heartily. At -the end of the third portion Marssawa came for. 'sward, and very briefly returned thanks: the speech would serve almost for the posy of a ring : " Ladle& and Gentlemen—The same feeling must be expressed In the same terms: that feeling I have often experienced—those words I . have often employed. I will not now repeat the latter, though I must always be Sensible of the former, My lasting gratitude is due for all past and present favours. You may value ftie, but I cannot value them too highly." The curtain fell amid general and hearty applause... _ . . WATERLOO BRIDGE COMPANY.—A Meeting of the Ahareholders of this Company was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, at one 4lock yesterday, pursuant to Act of Parliament, to report the half-year's accounts, and also to elect a Director, in the place of RICHARD HOLT, Esq. deceased ; Sir JOSEPH YORK in the Chair. Mr. WATTS, after passing a high eulogium on his character, prop* ed Mr. JoHN PETER ROBIN., StlN, seconded by Mr. BRICKNALL, who was thereupon elected without opposition. The half-year's accounts were then read, when it appeared the tolls received the last half-year amounted to 7,0301. being 1801. 12'. 7d. more than that received any of the precediog half-years. The Meeting was then adjourned till December next. Tuesday, at Woolwich Warren, a field-piece, whilst under proof, burst at the breech, and a fragment struck the Alert pleasure boat, then lying at a considerable, distance, and which had been hired by a Mr. Hollings. worth on a party of pleasure. It went through the tarpaulin, the hatchways, and the bedding in one of the births, and knocked a hole in the side, which would have immediately sunk her had there not been two boats on the spot, which brought 'her ashore. There were five Gentlemen on board 'at the time, who were landed by Nelson, the Water Bailiff, unhurt. The works at the new London Bridge are advancing rapidly. Two of the piers are already above water, and the abutment on the South side is nearly of the same height—the workmanship is beautiful. The outside stones are of Aberdeen granite, apparently about the size of those in the piers of Waterloo Bridge. A great many houses have been taken down on the South side of the river, and two arches of the old bridge, opposite to the first pier, are nearly demolished, for the purpose of affording a free passage to boats and other snl4ll craft, when the large middle arch of the old bridge shall be blocked up by the works about to be erected opposite to it. These two arches, which are to be formed into one, are covered over with wood, and paved like the test of the bridge. It is probable, if the works go on as at present, that two of the arches will be far advanced and the rest commenced by Christmas. Instead of a beautiful balustrade, like that of Waterloo Bridge, there Is to be a dead wall on each side. Fishmonger's Hall, it is said, is tot to be taken down, so that oo the North side the street must take an awkward turn in order to avoid it: this will greatly disfigure the appearance of the bridge. If this part of the plan were altered, and a balustrade substituted fwr the intended parapet wall, it would b; perhaps, with the exception of Waterloo Bridge, one of the finest bridges in the world.
