The eody con-14:i ration which lie thought now remained fir the Nleettag was, to consider if it were advisable to appoint a Committee, to see if the matter should be varied further. lie was himself a considerable insurer at some of the Assurance Officer, and had some influence im his sphere of hie ; he approved of the Norwich plan, and was about to car., .his insurance there when this public inquiry into their management was first started. lie since that time lay by to wait the issue. All he should vow ray was, that lie would take his insurances to au ertablisliment sin ilarly coisidituttd, if he ap proved of the plan, and of the persons concerned in its inanagrinent.—/ Hear.) Air. TitosisoN approved of what had fallen from the last speaker. He was himself, together with 11 number of fiends, deeply connected with the Nor wich Office, and he had a nuinlo-r of leirials await. tog the result of this Meeting's deliberatioini. came here to-day ready to offer Ilia purse. Hod his services in the till-m.oton of a new Society, on the Norwich plan. To promote it he would, if neces sary, give sixteen hours of his time out of the tweisty-four, and the first year for nothing. lie was well acquainted with the principlra of 111.0r8 Viler business, a n d hail 'toed us agent to an I.lllre of this kind in one of the principal towns al . tiviit luial. He did not come here to heg a blitlatloll— ha:l that already, and tinployeil two clerks wider him. 11' itioaey were wanted iii the Hew ;:new where to rt tnjt too, and he was convinced that the only wanted to establish H new Society was a 1011 g pull, a 8 *. 0104 pwll, and a pull all together. lie would go to all the princi pal towns in Scotland, and hr knew them all writ— he was cm,fident that lie could in t h is manner ren der essential service. Mr. Tit.t.ocu said, that hitherto the business of the day had gone on in a very irregular man ner. and he saw no likelihood of its going on other wise. Ile had therefore a motion to make. nod it was. " 'h hatthis Meeting should adjourn sine die." Ile thought the Meeting was greatly indebted to Mr. Brookes fur his conduct on the forener Conn mettee, NIA Still more for his candour ill this d..v the difficulties which appea►ed to him to eposie in the formation of a flew Society. To the Committee it did not appear a prudent mea sures and M►. Brookes's intimation ought now be taken as a delicate way of getting rid of the bus& 16 t .-- • ma.— twos.. He therefore moved that this Melting do wow adjourn. Mr. !NookEs seconded this motion, and wished merely to add, t hat the difficulties in the establish ment of it• new Society, appeared now to him to be very great. The principal difficulty was the want of a proper capital to set out with. There must be at the beg 1111 l log a large capital to cover the imme diate risk. Ile was convinced that a new Society, olio!' a good plan, would soon find plenty of cus tomers. In the end, it was true, that customers funned the capital ; but at the outset they must help to consume it, unless a proper fund were its the be sat apart. He saw no likelihood olpersons coming forward to furnish the necessary capital. As to the other Institution alluded to by Doctor Alibi., he was glad Mr. Hanson had called the ati en ti oo of the Meeting to it in the manner lie had done.— The Alerting need not he told that their former Committee had all connexion with this new Society, or any Its ephemeral projects. Let the men embarked in it come tOitii as they had been called upon to ito. (Hear, hear.)-1r they were respecta ble, ant meant to place their business upon a good system of m inagement, the,, they would receive public support. So bung as they kept themselves in secret, they could expect neither confidence nor co-openation.—(!lsar, hear.) Mr. CANNON inquired, whether the projected Society were yr 1111 l tea:owed by, or had ally cornier.- tom with the Norwich Institution ? This would throw a new light upon the matter. As to the oh jaction to Mr. lligitold, be his past conduct what it may, there might be no objection to his being again employed wider a more efficient deed and better digested regulatimis. Certainly Mr. Big mild had assumed au air of authority which did not belong to him : us Secretary, hr should have been obedient, and not refractory to the Directors.— What he meant to ask now was, whether the Nor wich Director.' were ready to appropriate is suffi cient portion of their capital to form a sufficient fund for the insurers hi the Few Society, until the latter were enabled to establish than own capital ? Mr. Titus. BIGNOLD, jun. stated, in reply, that he was professionally cooceruril for the Norwich Directors, and he could assure the Meeting. that they had ue intention whatever of appropi iatiuK any ;not of their funds to any new Institution— neither had they the power of doing so.—(//ear.) Mr. BIGNoLD, sell. then came forward, and said that his youngest son bail, it, a recent conversation with hull , offered to advatice loin 15,000/. to carry on a Society to the Metropolis, after the plan of the Norwich, and he (Mr. B. reit.) was himself ready to add 5,0001. to this 15,0001.; so Vitae was at once 20,0001. at the instaitt to begin with. He could assure the meeting, that when the public at tention was first called to the affairs of the Norwich Office, and indeed long before, lie had been actively engaged in putting the business of the Office oil a heifer footing than had been observed. It was iiis desire, and he was engaged its carrying it into el feet, to have a Board of Directors at Loodop, to • -- prev • eriktlie jifigay and difficulties which tolentled correspondence, on all occasions, with the Board at Norwich. He had also devised an efficient plan for the Inner ',revelation of fires in the metropolis, and was 110% , / ready to give any tuts Society that he approved of, lass plat., and Ins 30 year. experience. An outcry had indeed been rais ed against him, and Mr. Hanson had paoclaisned that there could be no confidence in any society in which he wa4 engaged. Fie believed that Nlr. I 1411- ball was au ironmonger ; awl might he not as well say that nobody ought to buy iron at his shop, as that Mr. Hanson should proclaim that no fruta was to be placed in Mr. Bignold ? A number of Gen tlemen had come forward to establish a new Society upon an improved plan; they were at present en gaged in examining his plans, and lie was Wady to assist them in the exectition of these plans in any mangier they might deem advisable. Nlr. S. BIGNULD here stepped forward, mi d begged to explain one part of his father's state ment. Ile certainly had called upon his father after a rupture that had taken place between theta, sod the cause of which he greatly lamented. He dud not call of his own accord, but by his fither's de. sire. The latter inquired of him if he should he enabled by an association with most respectable connexions, to start such a plan in Loudon as tiw Norwich Institution, his sons (three in iiiittib,r) would assist him with IG,OOOI. to promutc the un dertaking. Ile replied to this applicatien of liis father, that he thought such an assistance might be tendered by them under the circamstancts men tioned, and there the matter rested. But this wis a mere private family occurrence, and could not at all be niixed up with the concerns of the Nor wich Company or the London project. Nuitilog could be more distinct than the one from the other. —( Hear.) Mr. ratustohro, arn. s id, that he was ready to lend 10,0001. to a new Society adopting his im proved plait. In making this tender, and adding to it the offer of his services, he had no wish to stipulate for the Secretaryship or any other (Ayr. Mr. [JANSON Kik], that in what had fallen f hint he was inei.ely actuated by a laudi.lale motive to know who were the persons engaged its the new Society. Mr. H. then nail a letter, which be sand was addressed to the Insurance Agents throughout the country, sisal winch srateai, " that a Board of Directors for the stew Society was now actually formed," and that the Bound of Directors at Nor. ich were ready to co-operate with a set of respecta ble Gentlemen in London to give effect to their views. 'Fiats letter w a., he said, signed by Air. liignoltl, sett. If this Institution were actually trolied, as set forth in that, circular, what reason upon earth was there lair concealing the oantes of the parties who had so embarked fur its proinutioa ? —( liter, hear.) Mr. BIGINOLD. Nem replied, that a number of Gentlemen bad formed !hem..lves into a Pr., a . &load Committee, but they could not prolierly style themselves Directors until they hail the saute_ bon of a public 'Meeting. If they hail alone so, I ley would expose themselves to the imputation of self-constituted Directors. It was for this ream•ii that it was premature to mention their names. A Gentleusan wished to knots from Mr. list ttnlri whether the 10,000/. he eripreseed himself ready to advance, was out of the Isrue fund which, it ‘..?‘ sold, lie refused to surrender to the Norwich Di rectors who claimed it ?

Mr. Titomsow Seconded this mown. Mr. liitooKes void hr i.aw htth• e..couragernent held out to make the attempt. 11 Gentleman est-nt wished to stale how far they would embark in a new Society, there were hooks open in the ad room, where they emild set down their names, and the sums they would embark in the undertaking. Mr. BARRY said, that it . a Provisional Cunt niittee were to hr formed, let the Gentlemen who comnosed it bear in mind that the experiment must be made at their own individual risk and expense. He would, however, move as an amendment, that this Nleeting ho adjourn until this day three months. Mr. TILLUCH seconded this motion of adjourn ment. Ttiv question was then put from the.

SITTING OF SATURDAY, DECLIIIRER The sitting was opened at one o'clock. After some preliminary business had been gone through, The President expressed himself ready to hear the Reporter from the Committee charged to ex amine the ptojet of the I:itv relative to the percep tion of the first. Bibs of the contribution of 1619. Count Beugnot—" Gentlemen, this is the fourth year that the Goverament proposes to you to grant provisionally a portion of the contriiiutions, direct and indirect, until the dispositions of the new law of Finances shall have received their execution. " For the year 1819, in particular, the Govern. :tient dern,,iids that the Chamber &hail vote the first six-twelfilis of the land -tax, of the tax on goods and persons, of the tax on dams and aitidoses, and finally that of patents. " The perct ptiou shall be made upon the lists of 181$. " 1 demauti Hko authority to collect the indirect tote', until the prouinlgation of the new law of Finance*. " A lid, finally. to defray a provisional credit of 200,00u,000 to defray the public expenses. " Government cannot give. awl does not give io fact but one single motive, but a motive that supersedes every other—N EcusslTY. " The law of Finances is not yet presented. Ex perience has proved that the examination mid dia. cosmos' of this law requires a great deal of time.— Meanwhile/ it is not until after it has been promul gated that we can convene the Councils-General, and those of the neighbouring districts, to pro ceed to the distribution of the direct taxes.— The sittings of three Cotincils continue more than a mouth, and we must wait for the expiration of this time before we can proceed to the completion of the lists. These successive operations extend to six months. It is then to obviate this delay, without impairing the service, taut six twelfths of the di rect contributions are required of you. " The continuation of the indirect taxes is its own justification. The least interruption iu the collection would compromise their existence, and these contributions are the most precious resource of the State. " lu firtecthe regular pop:Gent of the expenses is the first cundition of credil, todiriers .T order. " Your Committee, Gentlemen; in acknowledg jog the truth and urgency of rte tuotisti proposed by the Government, ha., however, charged um to submit to the Chamber a few ogervations. " It is in the nature of thing., that the accounts of the application of the funds panted for anterior years, slnuii t precede all demand of funds for the current year. " One cannot tee a reason even for this drlay. The lulnlinistration of the finance', if well regu lated, as we moat suppose it, is in a situation to render an account every day or the state of itsie expeoditere ; and its account at the end of the }ear is nothing Lut a inettodicil retspitiala non ditto daily situstions, "-The Committee have remarked with regret,,that in this respect the business is less forward this year than in the preceding. . Last year, and since the opening of the t'ession of 1818, arcounts were dis- Inhaled among you of the year 1816, drawn tip in a grand manner, and more full than those w h ic h had previously appeared. If these accounts were not entirely free from imperfections, it was at least easy to detect their errors, and to avoid them in future. 4 ' Nothing of the kind has been done for the pre. sent year. The change of the person of the Mi. iiister ought to be no excuse, because where insti tutions exist the passage of men Semis public busi ness should not :west its progress. Whatever changes may have been effected. or may be medi tated in the individual persous. the Chamber must always find a Minister resosersti t tor the flcrefrit. merit. " The [lon. Nletnher of this Chamber recently. appointed to the Department of Finance, ha 4 said, that the tomtit:tonal perception of the tuxes is at. tended with great inennven'edn es, and bus conti nued too long. Let ndi imire that lie will obtain for himself the Innioni of putting an end to it. " The Nlinister, in btet, eic4.ages to the Chamber to iminedi i.► pdt co id ance of the orders, of the King..., legi•lactve diriitaati tttt which shall hare for its; ohj..ct to put au eud to all these pruti.iuu .1 denude. " It is to he regretted that such and so useful a disposition should not hove been submitted to the deliberation of the Chamber up to this day. It is to be hoped that the Nlinister will immediately take the orders of the King, and that he will submit to you a disposition wh;ch will completely answer the proposed purpose, and accord with the consti tutional multiple upon the annual rote of taxer'. ." The presentin g of this law and that of the budget. a►e rettaitsly in the number of priipwiii. bons expectsd by th e Climber with . the greatest impatience. It rs particularly in the hope that these comit'iotis are going to be ru!filled, That the Committee recommend to the Chamber the r^. • a. sure of voting provisionally the half of the re. cripts of the State, and a credit of ten hundred millions for the expenditure. It must net I. concealed—this provisional measure, wluch will be revioduced for the fourth time. implies the absence of • system of order mid foresight in a matter that most imperiously require them, its vote not being preceded by any detail, nor 1.:4).• witted to any examination. The Chamber is me, thervfore, excusable in proceeding with so much haste, may because the necessity which presses tl4-. Government falls back upon itself. We will Ch.': with hoping that the Government, freed frtm the difficulties that now embarrass it, will be able in avoid incurring tins necessity beforehand, and af terwards pleading it in its justilicotion. Tie Chamber will then be obliged in its turn to seek in itself the cause should this necessity arise. " In voting for the adoption of the projet of the Law, tier Committee propose an amendment to the Article 2. This Article imports, that the indirect taxes shall continue to be received until the pro. mulgation of the new law of Finances. " Thi• term appear• to your Committee to have something uncertain, and to depend upon cosidl. tious slot in the power of the Chamber. 66 It proposes to you, in consequence, to that the continuation of the perception of the indirect tuz shall extend, at the latest, to t!. e td of July next. This amendment will liarrus.o'se with the disposition rehstive to the direct snit so. direct lases, and will afford en assurance that the receipts of every kind shall not be continued p►o. visionally beyond ►ix mouths. Should this amend. meta he adopted, the low will then stand iis the following terms " Article 1.
