Yesterday a nomerous Meeting of the Friends of Sir %%Alain Curtis was held at the City of Loudon Tavern, for the purpose of comiidering the pro priety of paying some tribute of respect to the worthy Baronet, for iiis Psiliamentury services. The Meeting miss:tended by 'le. principal Bankers and Merchants of the City, and W. Maiming. Esq. M.P. (the Bank Director) wait called to the Chair. The CCIALIIMAN read the requisition by which the Meeting had been conteneil. Ile said, that to be cieleal on to preside over a Meeting olthe Bank ers, Merchants, a n d Trailers of this great Metropos was always a flsttering distinction, but on the present occasion lie Wit with peculiar force the compliment paid to him, though his only appre- I pension was, that lie would be unable to do ade (utt, justice to the high station in which they had placed him. Ile participated iu the object of the Alertiog—iii such a cause he should at least chew no disposition to sliiink from discharging his iititV.-14pplause./—He had seen the Reselutious that it %Yd.. 'mewled to subunit to the Meeting, cud lie tripled they would tutet universal concurrence. Those who prepared them had studiously abstained from introducmg :my th ii which might tend to excite diversity of opinion ; they were solely such as he hoped the Meeting would think due to the conduct sod character of Sir Win. Curtis. after havitig been their Representative for twenty-right years. It was surely due to such a man at least to express proper regret at the evetit which had de prived them of his services. Mr. WIIITMORS expressed the pleasure lie felt at teeing so numerous and respectable a /Meeting on the present occasion. lit coining forward to pro pose the first Resolution, he was actuated by the purest motives of friendship towards Sir William Curtis. whom he had had the pleasure of knowing for a great number of years, and whose kindness and civility he Lied often witnessetl.—(4pplamre.) It was with the deepest regret that he tie longer saw him in the place where he thought lie ought to be. On the present occasion he would say nothing po litical, but the services of Sir William Curtis to the commercial and trading interests were great and lasting, and entitled him to the warmest thanks. The worthy Gentleman concluded by proposing the first of a series of Resolutions, expressive of their gratitude to Sir William Curtis for his public ser vices —(for which see Advertisement.) Mr. Him's''r seconded etc Resolution just pro posed. Hr regretted that a want of talent for public speaking felt him without the arts of per suasion, though, on the present occasion, he be lieved persuasion unnecessary; for if the object of the Meeting was not already impressed upon their hearts and minds, it was in vain to hope it could be so impressed by say individual exertions.—(Great applinsse.)—ldle held it to be impossible, that the 28 year, of Sir Win. Curlier public services could pass away without excitiug fur him sentiments of the higlwst respect and gratitude.—(elpplaxse.)— He had been their Repreasentative in six successive Perliameuts. amid was often returned at the head of the pull. It was quite impossible, therefore. to that such a man had not deserved well of his fellow-citizens.—(lpplease.)—The only consideration was, the =Enter in which such ru acknowledgment ought to be made. He thought the latirest and most impoitant tribute would he, one which wits confined to the worthy Baronet's exertions in their own it iii- teresta—those 'inerrant, isi which their habits ren dered them the iota conversant, maid on which their °unarms must at all times have great weight through out the country.—(Applaase.)—lf abroad they conversed with foreigners on the dose of that pre eminence which placed in England the means of maintaining a lung and radim. rustiest, and ter minating it with honour and glory, they would be told at was their commerce which conferred this hitch station. The jealous feeling of foreigners de nominated Great Britain a Nution Bositicseere—the people of England were, ass account of their trade, called in this 111S11110r a nation of shopkeepers.— (A largh.)—They poseefood not only wealth. ships, colonies, and commerce, but a luirdy race of brave soldiers and seamen, willing and capable of deknd ing and maintaining them.—(App/ors.)—On the merits of Sir Wm. Curtis his would ask, had soy num found him' difficult of access on any public occasiosior was he not, on the contrary, prompt and communicative to any applicant ? Had any ono u seen luin on any .occusiou neglectful or remo test to the great commercial interests of this City, and those of the country •t large, or was he • not their steady and uniform tup pence! Did they not recollect his conduct on the great question of the Property Tax, which was more a commercial question than a political one. who ever might be said to the contrary ? At a Meeting of Merchants in the Mansion-house early in the war, that ineaasire had their sanction. They had then expressed their readiness to siihspit to it lot carrying on the war, and upholding ptiLlic credit st such a crisis.. %Viten the war had been concluded, the same characters assembled. in the same place (the Mansion-house), and liobestly and tn:.rolially stated. that though during the war they had sub. wilted for the sake of the country to mealy isicois veniences, and agreed to this tate yet that now the war was over the tax must cease, if any public faith were to be kept with the Ciountry. He had been iis the ;House of Commo'. when Sir William Curtis unfolded their moineutous Petition monist the Property Tax, It was that Petition which lie thought dissipated the odious tux to which he alluded.—(Applarete.)--Sir William's conduct on that occasion, though unpleasing to men in power, was yet. lie was sure, gratefully re membered by his fellow-citizens.—(//pplarrse.)— logratitude wis mit a British vice, and ills felt con. vinced they were always ready to express their gratitude Ina favours generously and faithfully dis tributed. No Inert deserved more from then that, Sir William Corti*. It was therefore that lie came forward to second the present motiote— ("lpplarse.) On the question being pot from the Chair—. Mr. Baowe rose, and said, that there could he only one feeling on the present occasion—the otOy consideration vow, at. to the most suitable mode et' expressing their gratitude to the worthy Baronet.-- The object of his rising at this moment was, to inquire eliether it was intended to stop with merely voting a set of Resolutions. He expected some thing more would be done, cud that some solid compliment should be presented to Sir Win. Curtis, which cruturies hence could he fowled down to his descendants as a record of his worth.-4Ap. plaase.)—A handsome piece of plate ought to be presented to the worthy Baronet, as a testimony or sense enteitaiited, by the commercial interest of i a dun of his character said conduct during a , long rear of parliamentary ecrorice. London wits the emporium of the commerce of the world,,amsl ought to be represented by men conversant in ill* best commercial interests, and worthy of . the trust. Such was i n ot the case now., for he thought the City degraded by its peeteut Representative,., lie hoped some Geutlemiut would wave fm a piece i,! plate. . . Mr. &MUHL DIXON rose to order, and Bug. grated that the better course, in the first instance; would be to read the whole of the Resolutions, said afterwards put them striate*. The CHAIRMAN hoped Mr. Brown would con flue his observations to the first Brookline, which was the only one read. The Gentlemen who liaol prepared the Resolutions had abstained Irma any politic'sl allusion, and confined their regret lit the loss of such a Representative as Sir %V intern Curti. merely to his value in the commercial interest. If the worthy Gentleman wished best to consult the views of the friends of the Honourable Baronet, lie would pursue the same course.—(elpploase.) • Mr. IfiltowN was merely anxious to state what he thought was the best mode of prying a suitable compliment to the worthy Baronet.

Mr. HISIIERT said, that the motion was quite unnecessary, for all the plate in Rundell and Bridge's shop could not convey an adequate symbol of their regard for Sir W. Curtis. Mr. DOWN amid. that thooth no man would have the courage to oppose the motion, vet he thought it most unnecessary, as the Addresi would answer every purpose.—(Hear, hear.) Several Gentlemen it) vain addressed Nir. Brown, to prevail on lam to desist front passing his motion. Air. DIXON said. the Meeting had been call, it for the purpose of adopting a s p ec ifi c course, trout which it was not competent for them to depart. The CHAIRMAN was sure Mr. Brown would.. excuse his suggestieg a doubt as to the seurse of pruceediug recommended.
