NORWICH lON lASURA CE. Yesterday a Meeting was held at the City of London Tavern of the London insurers, and others who had heen contiectedroith the Norwich Union Fire and Life Office, for the purpose of coosidering whether it would he eligible to elitsitlish an In surance Office in the metropolis upon the same plan as the Norwich Establishment. This Meet. ing was very respectably, though not numerously, attended. At one o'clock Mr. BENSLEY, at the unanimous request of the Meeting, took the Chair. He then called the attention of the Meeting to the circum stances under which they had met. When he last had had the honour of filling their Chair, they were assembled to receive the final Report of the Com mittee appointed to investigate the affairs of the Norwich Fire and Life Insurance Office. On that occasion. a Gentleman who was a Member of that Committee (Mr. Brookes), proposed for their con sideration that a future Meeting should be called to consider of the eligibility of establishing in London a plan of mutual risk and 111611111114:e on the system of the Norwich Establishment, which now discontinued Loudon Fire Insurances. He (the Chairman) at the fornire Meeting had said, that he had not considered Mr. Brnokr.'s proposi tion, and was not then prepared to give it ember his shawl or dissent, lint tb.it as it seemed to be the general wish of the Mretiog he would advertise the future Meeting to taiwide-r the proposition— he had 'hate so, and was not aware that any thing further could be expected from hint. it was for the Gentlemen present now to propose whatever Measures any of them had it) their contemplation. Mr. BROOKE/ rose and said, that as be had been the proposer of the motion which led to the present Meeting, lie felt himself called upon to say a few words. He would, in the first instance, beg to set himself right in the opinion of the Meeting respect. tug the part he had taken. Snipe people had ima gined that he meant to lint him elf forward as the promoter of It new Insurance Society—this was quite erroneous, lie had no such intention. Ali that he had 'tidied was, to give the public in the metropolis % who were now excluded from the Fire Deportment of the Norwich Institution, on oprortionty of con. ',tittering what step• they should take respecting their lasusitaces. He begged unelnivocelly to de. PRICE 8I VEN-PFNCE. elate, that it 'sever had entered into his head to take * lead in carrying; any new plats into retention. They would recollect that he wire a member of the lino Committee, and had indeed solicited permission to resign after the first Report was feigned. When he first .uggested the propriety of a Meeting like the prevent, lie was rimier the ithittession that men of tack al d consideration might he induced tb emne forward to propote a i;leti which he thought might he conducterreith greet advantage to the public.—Since he had made ilie suggestion, he had not received limn ally quarter the slightest informs lion that any such persors were ready to come for ward and embark a raintrl in the 'undertnking. Hfr thought die plan highly (loanable t card that, if well conducted. its advantages would be generally felt. It was, horsever. slated by the Norwich Directory, that the Loudon losurmices did not repay the expenses they nad mewled; and, from hi. solpequesit in quiries, he had reasiiii to appteheed that all I 111 , 111rtirive ertablishinent merely confined to the metropolis, would out defray ila expenditure, utilesa It had the be slit of extraordoiary activity and iiiibience. It was her the Meetille to consider whether it would make the attempt. For his own part, he repeated, that his station in life precluded the possibility of his taking * prominent part on suCh sir ticeasion. It was for the Meeting to say whether they would pottier the matter in the absence of that public en couregtnient which was essential to the estrahlish. meat of a new Society. He felt warmly, that the London (flamers had not been well treated by the Norwich Society; and some persons had imagined, that in what from him nt the last Meeting, he meant to doubt the offer of the Norwich Directors to promote the intl•reets of any new Seciety which may hr formed ; he could, however, say, that he Ilie.iiit to cunt 110 invidimis refit-coon upon the area tors; and lie belied that any thing which he migl have said, would tint prevent the Directors front granting the useistance which they had expremeti themselves ready to afford to a new Establishment, upon the plan of the Parent Society.—(Appiturse.) Doctor A LIM begged to tome, that a number of Gentlemen had already came forward as a Priori.. sitnial Committer, to set on faint a new establishment in the metropolis on the principle of mutual In surance. They were ready to bring iota the con cern sitiple funds as a guarantee acid security lot the imureri, and thought proper to u 1111 l mime that they would lived themselves of the erred experieuee of Mr. Hignold to cony their plan into effretr—they did not mean that he should have the nemagemeot of the concern, but merely that lit should assist them in settieg it fairly afloat. They in short meant to avail themselves of his assotaiice to put the concern in motion. Ne would hike this upper. tueiry of olaservritg. that in his . opiiiiou the pro• ceeditigs of the Yuck Hotel Committee would not bear the test of legal inquiry—he meant tin disrespect to the Gentlemen who composed that Committee, but he did not think they had proceeded as they ought to haverdone. They sliould have recullected the sentiment of the Poet— " Thole, is he gritted that tenth his qiiiirrel just, And he but nuked, it locked up in steel, Whose cutociease is curtained." The formation of the Society, the ;Aso of which be nowt announced, would, he was persuaded, do national good. The public would hear the details of the plan through a different channel. Mr. BARRY congratulated the Meeting on the prospect they now had of , ering the principle of the Norwich Union, without its 1111111 r, ati.lllttd among them upon a more solid and equitable basis. Will respect to the eundtict of Mt. Brookes, the Meeting wonld, he was sure, think with hint, that it was upright, candid, and honourable, throughout the whole I i JUI.IIeSa• He was sorry there was test w fuller Meeting brie to-day, to consider in a collec tive assembly the important business in which they were interested ; bit it was gratifying to hum to find that they were satisfied with the flew plate which was *unnoticed to them, and their satisfaction was a palpable proof that this Society, though flow in its infancy, would meet with public supports He. now foreboded that the new Society would rise like a phueuix, and soon €:110)11811 its prosperity. The Meeting, if it pleased, might appoint another Committee ; but the worst of bßell was, that they engendered similar proceedings else where; every parish would then have its Committee, and the business be in the end flint-red aiwuy to nothing. There was already a little club of this kind in the Borough. lie though 4 therefore, the best thing which the Meeting could do this day, would be to depart to peace according to the *wit, for he thought he saw before Into the salivation of their interests. He trusted he 'right make this allusion without incurring any censure, for surds• if to guard against the poverty of their fawilies was one of the leading considerations of a goial man, it was noon essential to take those steps which would best insure so laudable au object, and 1w thought lie saw in the estublislatient of the new Society, the means of affording the hestitcurity to their interests.
