HAMILTON, the Atithor of the Bys tem of Teaching the Languages which bears his name; and which has excited so lively an interest in the United States and Canada, where he has taught during the list Eight Years with u nexampled success, o ff ers his services to the polite Inhabitants of this Metropolis, in the acquisition of the French Language. Mr. Hamilton's System essentially differs from every oilier which has preceded it. The burthen is almost entirely thrown tin the Teacher, with regard to grown persons, and altogether with regard to children. One hundred, or one thousand per. ions, learn at the same moment, with as great, or even greater, Facility than a Class of three or four persons ; every member of a Class, however numerous, pronounces at the First Lesson with the propriety of a native of France. The knowledge of' 10 ,000 different words in the French Languages' is guaranteed to the Pupil in Ten Lessons of one hour each, given three times a-week. In the Co urse o f Forty-eitt Le s sons, the at tentive and studious learn to write and spe ak with grammatical correctness, and, in half that number, to read with pleasure a French Author. Mr. Hamilton is preparing to offer to the Public a Courie Lectures on the French Language, of which notice will b e g i ven Sn a few days; mean time he will receive, ut his Apartments, No. 8, WOODSTOCIa a TREET, OXFORD-STREET, Private Class of Eight or Ten Persons, or he would meet a like Class in any part of the Town. • The whole Course, of 48 Lessons, is divided into Five Sec iona, the first Four of Ten Lessons each ; each Section . is Payable in advance, .£2 10s. The First Private Class will meet, as above, on MON DAV, the Bth day of September next, at Eight o'clock in the Evening, and will continue to meet at the same hour on Mondays, 'Wednesdays, and Fridays, unless otherwise deter. mined at the First Lesson of the Class. Mr. Hamilton's documents, in proof of the extraordinary ef ficacy o f hi s S ystem , are infinitely too voluminous for inser tion ; be will be - happy to communicate them to any Geh denten of respectability. Meantime, he has handed to his booksellers, Messrs. Booscy, in Broad-street, and Messrs. Co. burn and Co., Bond-street, the names of thirty Noblemen and Gentlemen to whom he had letters of introduction. Mr. Hamilton is to be found at, home from Seven till Ten each Morning, and after Two in the Evening. NEW INSTITUTION.-ALBIOS.IIALL On Wednesday a numerous and highly respect able Meeting was held in Albion Hall, near the Albion Chapel, Moortields. The object of the Meeting was the establishment of Lectures conducive alike to the important ends of useful knowledge, of 'Christianity, and good morals. It was the first time this hall was thrown open to the public. Ail the arrangements, though not upon the largest scale, art well adapted to the object for which it was erected. The Rev. A. FLETCHER, A.hl. opened the proceedings by an appropriate prayer, after which a p from llandell a Messiah w as execute d w i th consider able as Zt by some vocal and instrumental performers who attended upon the occasion. The Rev. Cox then came forward to explain the pur poses for which the meeting had been called. As the hall, he s aid, was d evote d to the purposes of science and religion, he haught it right to select, as the subject upon which lie should address them, the connection that existed between both. There Wire some who scented to think that religion and science could not well exist together ; this was a great mistake. In principle, true philosophy and re li g i on were, and ought to be, united. The en tamement of true knowledge could have no other than.a moral intinence : when a contrary edict followed, it should be attri buted, cat to science itself, but to the perversion of it. Its na tufal operation was to promote the exercise of the faculties, to direct them to beneficial purposes, to excite industry, the uni- Ven a l law of creation, and to beget humility rather than pride. This was well understood by t h e great men who were most deeply imbued with its spirit. They know that the effect of great progress in the sciences was rather to shew their limita tion than t h e i r extent. I t was only when men, after deep re- :tearch, began to suspect they knew nothing, that they began to De 'really wise. It was in this conviction that genuine philosophy had its commencement. Lord Bacon said that knowledge was. power. A ny t hi ng tending. to give this power a moral a nd ght direction must be in th e hi g h est d egree b ene fi c i a l ; an d such was religion. This it was which imparted the finishin g Iptich of excellence to science , _ which made it the ornament of Pte, the cement of society, the wealth of. nations, end the best !iiheritance of yet unborn generations. It was thus religion" and knowledge w e r e f oun d united in the greatest and best of men. 44 Addison, when he called for his friend to witness in what Peace a Christian could die —in the great Pascal, in Eider,Bacon, others—of each of whom Haller, and many it might be said, vlr sunonce ‘ wit. In Newton, a still greater man, Who rebuked-tinily in wo r d s t h at could not be too often quoted, foe the levity with which he spoke of religion--I am, said he, ways glad to hear you talk of mathematics, because.you un tterstand them ; b ut you should not speak . of Christianity, a s . :Iyou have not studi e d i t . I have; an d lam sure you know ~1 1i . r ig about the matter.—The Reverend Gentleman then l ' in .tN out in an argumentativ eloquent manner the con neet. ion that existed between go on reli and the different branches nr.batural and mathenuttical knowledge, and their tendency, flier to elucidate the Scriptures, or to infuse a spirit of reve rea towards the Deity. O,Yr• Titomirrox said, lie should confine his observations to sa?"e religious advantages which the study of - Botany was 00- eutate for lath. Produce. The world was a volume, spread out by the 4- V their pe rus 4 vo l ume which might be read by every Pe nioN but not - 'ro I derstood. True science went deep, W per y lin 4114 taw in fi nite wisdom and understanding, where the superb- cial observer discovered nothing but the external appearances of things. Every plant that grew, every flower that expanded itself to the sun, proclaimed the wisdom and goodness of the Creator. The man whom the works of nature charmed held converse with Clod himself, and found the name of the Creator` inscribed on every leaf, on every flower. He discerned is plants the sources of numerous • blessings and conveniences enjoyed by human nature, of food, of raiment, of medicitte. The more a Botanist looked into them, the more beauties he would find, and the more reason he would havo to adrniriethe works of the' Creator. The variety of the season, adapted to the production of different plants and flowers, formed a continual drama—a continually shifting scene for the instruction and delight of man. No place was a solitude to the Botanist. (lo where he might he was always surrounded with agreeable companions. His faculties were improved by hi s p ursuits— hi s health and spirits were invigorated. Who but God could have provided such an infinite series of gratifications for man as are afforded by the ever varying productions of the various seasons ? The best actor could not be more exact in his entrances and exits than the flowers and plants when the proper time of thei r appearance arrived. Who thus 'instructed them but that unerring Providence • which created and ordered things in number, Weight, and measure ? It s h ou ld th en be the business o f to glorify that, who left nedling undone for his gratification in this world—to adore !MU fur all his gifts —but, above the.rest, for that rational soul • by th e possess ion of which nature was opened to his view—was tendered a source of delight and a nursery of devotion. If there were any among them in . affliction, any who had lost a dear friend or sustained any other serious injury, let them but con template the Vegetable creation, and from that source they would derive consolation. All came into the world by the word of God, and for his Wise purposes, and they should yield with humble resignation to whatsoever Ile might in his wisdom decree. The were here only the children of titne ; but what was eternity ? It was impossible to reach to a conception of it. The Idea was too grand fur humanity to contemplate.— They were the mere creatures of time ; and how short was their time ? This was a n aw fbl consideration. The temporary evils of this life were not worth a thought when put in competition with what was to succeed it. All their thoughts theretore, all their efforts should be employed in. preparation for eternity. lie was glad to hate this opportunity aftbrded him of skewing to a numerous and respectable audience that Botany, like other branches of science, affhrtled envie proofs of the wisdom and goodness of the Creatim Ile approved of the object proposed, and should be happy upon future occasions to address theta as a teacher, The Rev. A.FLE TCHE It said, that after the learned and able addresses they had just heard, it was hardly necessary for him to say any thing upon the subject ; but as he had premeditated va rious topics connected with the object of the meeting, he would trespass on their . patience for a little time. He felt emotions of a peculiar kind in thus addressing an assembly composed for the most part of long.tried friends. The value of friend ship was peculiarly enhanced in a state of existence like the present, in a world which Was properly designated a valley of tears. It devolved upon him to explain what were the primary and secondary objects they had in contemplation.— The first Was, the moral, biblical, and religious information of the rising, generation. It was proposed to devote part of each Sabbath morning to the instruction of the children Of the poor in that hull ; and in the afternoon the children of a cies§ better circumstanced in life would etijoY the bene • fits of eatech e ti ca l i nstr u ct i on . C ons id er i ng all the induce. meats to vice and infidelity with which youth was beset, lie would ask What could be more important than to endue. your to introduce moral anti religious light into the soul, to root out the noxious weeds that had taken root there, and to correct the degrading passions ? What more important than to conduct youth to their Creator, from whom they might be alienated by the mysterious principle of evil incorporated with: their being ? He adverted to the infidelity of the present time, not for the purposeof intimidation, but incitement ; for the pur e pose of stimuluting their efforts to prevent the progress of so. dreadful an evil. The effect of infidelity was tti change she human soul into a barren wilderness, where nothin g s p run t up but the heml oc k o f vice anti the 'deadly nightshade of ins purity. He would not say that, in this respect, the present age was worse than the past; btu lie solemnly affirnied, that in these days infidelity assumed a degree of boltlnetts it had not dared to put on in other times. Formerly It was confined to the solitary apartments of the sceptic, who carried his foolish speculations so far as to doubt of his own existence; but now it bad taken possession of the mind of the mechanic—it hail entered the cottages of tlet . poor, and robbed them of their only hopee-it hail joined to Its • standard the aged head co vered with hoary hairs—it taught youthful lips to blaspheme the perfection s of t h e D e i ty-- i t gave unusual ► force and rapid maturity to those passi ons w hi c h acce l erated their misery. What did infidelity ever do for the human race ? Did it assist in the founttion of wise and liberal political institutions ? Did it shed lustre on the throne of the Monarch, soothe the sorrow s of t h e afflicted soul, bind up the wounds of the spirit, :wrest youth in its career of loathsome vice,smooth the rugged path of the valley of death, or fill the soul With triumphant confidence in the hour et' dissolution ? It did not—it Could not. What was the antidote to this malady ? What could extract a sting the ma lignity of which was so etivenorned?— Knowledge -e.the know ledge of that religion which ClOd communicated to the human race. He would now placebefore them the secondary object that were in contemplation. It was their intention, during the winter months, to have a course oflettures on the works of the creation. Ile was of the opinion of St. Pierre, that no study was better cal culated than that of nature to counteract the progress of infi delity, and to fix the mind on Him who was the author of all good things. The lectures would be under the snperintentiz me at' a Committee of Gentlemen of morality and character. Like the Prophets of old; who availed themselves of the as. sistance of music when the prophetic influence was about to descend on their hearts, they also would have recourse to it, but only as a means to till the mild with ideas of the Divinity and of his great works: It reflected honour on the City !Amion, and shewed the attention of their ancestors to the Interests of morality, that within its walls there was not what might be called a corrupt place of amusement. They would take care that the institution now proposed should form no exception. The ltev. Mr. Cox bad fixed on one department ih which he proposed to lecture, and he (Mr. F.) would take another. He would endeavour to assist those who might favour, him with their attention, in contemplating the wonders of animated nature, nom matures of the largest bulk to such as were not discern. able without the assistance of a microscope. To shot , what a field of curious and interesting inquiry thus opened, he would just mention two instances,. the Leviathan, and the Verticillo Rotatorio, not larger than the least 'discernible grain Of mud. Among whales he would mention the I.Silina, which one might call an animated floating island. It was found commonly 90 feet in length, and sometimes even 129. irtltat must they think of the size of such a creature, the very tongue of which pro duces six gallons of oil ? Its young were suckled like those of the human race; and so great was the degree of maternal tender. ness, that when any danger threatened, the young were taken under its fins, and it descended to the bottent of the deep to seek a shelter from danger. The other, the verticilla rotittoria, was capable of enduring the most extraordinary degrees of heat anti cold. It retained life at a temperature of 111 degrees below the freezing point. While living, _it war so dry that, if touched with t he point of a needle, it fell into dust. It Might be kept for years in a state of apparent death without any sort of nourishment, anti so delicate was its finmation that a drop of water falling on it was sufficient to dissolve and break the whole texture. If, however, a drop were allowed In come on it, not altbgether, but by degrees, it would be seen to grow i nto a c tivity, and to 'swum as freely as the whale in the ocean. It had two feet in the upper part of the body, to which Were attached two wheels, from which it took the name'Reta toria. In another part of the body, to prepare it for attack, nature provided it with something resembling a trident, or an anchor.-- T h i sff while endeavouring to counteract the influence of i die drop of water, and by the movement which it made with the wheels caused a vortex, within which its prey was drawn, and which, like the hawk, it set upon and consurn ce, a li ve . Th e a ehealcults on which It fed-were as Much amal ler titan itself, as it ry as entailer than perhaps e v en the whale —Th 140 feet long. us it might be seen from these two instance that the field of inquiry was great, sufficient to occupy their time here, and to give cause for wonder througli an infinite im mortality. Their , object was to lead the youth of the metro- polis to admiration of the works of (lad, and to exalt their feelings to a due genre of religion. After nfiw further obser vations the Rev. Gentleman concluded by saying, that the Lec tures would commence in November, and that the wear - ideal sc h o l ars s h o uld have ' the ball free of expellee on the Sabbath days. In the interval between thespeeches the following pieces were paformed .--e" Left up your heads," Scc. ; " The Lord gave the Ford;" "How beautiful upon the Mountains; 4* Halle lujah Chorus." A Meeting of Nierchants and others took place yesterday, at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of considering the Report . of the Select Committee, Which had been appointed on the Ist of May, 18211, by a General Meeting of the Merchants and Bankers; tbe business of *hid' Com mittee was, " An application to Parliament to investigate the state of the English Law on the subject of goods intrusted to a factor ; and to make such alterationt there:a as would render the same conformable to just principles.". In concurrence with the motion of Mr. T. Witelott (which was carried), Mr. J. Santa took the Chair. He began by informing the Meeting, that the Committee were anxious to state, by means of their Report, a history of the late proceedings in Parliament relative to' the objects for which they had been constituted. Anxious as he was not td take up much of their time, he hoped to be indulged by their patience and attention in iiolllCremarks which, according to his view of the subject, might be necese sari , to a right understandingof the Report, The Committee of the House of Commons, upon Arleen. shoulders the weight of the business had devolved, had developed circum stances Which were not generally known before the inquiry into the state of the law ,had taken place. Perhaps it might be said that the promeigstion of the law by means of the Committee—at least until th e ac hi evement Of their entire ' purpose--nmet be held to have rather a disastrous elect than . otherwise. But then it must be remembered that It was essen. tial to the welfare of commerce, that the whole subject should be examined to the bottom. lie could, without flattery, say that the Committee had conducted their labours with a high deee of intelligenc e an d a bili ty . 'U pon the view which they took of the subject, a Bill had been framed. lie might almost say, that the Bill was framed with the unanimous aunt of the Committee. He Wan ready to admit that one lion. Friend of his, whom he had in his eye, did not agree in all the view's taken •by the Committee. hut, during has experience of Par- liamentary proceedings, he had hardly ever seen mire una. nimity displayed. The. Bill which had been brought in, did embrace, according to hie humble opinioh, and according to the opinions of many intelligent persons with whom lie then coin. municated, a complete and adequate reMedy, or nearly so, for the grievances of which the merchants complained. Unfortu nately, however tar the cause which the Committee advocated, there were strong feelings against them in the minds of several gentlenich eminent in the profession of the law; and those gentlemen expressed their opposition in tetnis of such warmth that the Committee found themselves opposed by the most powerful of those persons who might be 'said to govern the proceeding of the Legislature. Perhaps the law which allowed the pledging of goods by a party in whom the property of the goods did not rest, might be cons trary to their received notions, and without considering the awes of abuse and oppression, they looked only tit the preserVa, tion of the old principal of law. Und er t h ese diffi culties, it appeared surp r ising to him, that the Committee had been able to do so much. A meeting had been obtained with some of the leading persons in the Government, and the result was, that the Committee had succeeded in convincing Them of the ptopriety of their eiews. Among those distinguished persons were Lord Liverpool, Mr. Wallace, and Mr. Huskisson. After the third conference those Ministers were brought to contem. plate the subject with the same views and feelings as the Com, Mittee, and became equally anxious for the relief and the ulti. mate repeal Of the grievaneei. But the opposition in .Parlia• ment was still so firmly and reatdu tely founded, that Mr. Fresh. field (a gentletuan of whose ,nervicea upon the present occasion lie could no t s p e ak w i t h any th i ng l ike suffic ient praise) had felt with him, that it was not at that dine to be got over.— They did, however, bring forward a measure containing, as they supposed, a PI and eudicient remedy for the grievances. —Atter repeated 'discuisions in their house, •it became quite evident that by insisting unconditionally upon the whole, they could not succeed in regard to any part of their Metteure. It-was4sot for him at she present moment to go into the question, et to whether they were right or not in their concurrence upon this point. It might be urged against thent, that they injured the expectation of future success as to the whOle, by accepting only a part. /le begged leave, how. ever, to coffer from this view. A e e the general principle which they bad , to comend with had nut only been met, but was com. pietely ov ert h rown , he knew not on what grounds their oppo nents could continue to strive with them in any remaining con. test. Re would now state what was the scope of the mensure, so far as it had been carried in the Ince session or Parliament. Tile bill Brought in had been eubeequ e n t ly reduced in effect to in two ale& And howev er di stant this u se appear from the attainment of their entire °y et , h e could - Resure them it was much beyond th a t whi c h he tad hoped, inasmuch as an hour before the passing of the bill, the whole ineae ure toilet b e lost. Th e perties who had most he h a d ma d e up hi s m i n d t hin veliementlT erred it withdrew, and so much of the measure Was carti" . " it) what ha d been done by the bill, the first of the clauses to which he had alluded enabled the consignee to whim " (KW w ere intrusted, not *l4 the as of the connig. I nor, to hold th e same li en upon them as if they were really the property of the consignor, provided always that no direct notice were given that the oods w e r e not the property of t h e con signor. The second clause empowered the consignee to whom the goods were remitted for sale to pledge them as a lien held by him, to the amount of his own advances, or the chitin which he might have upon the goods as agent or factor—whether the goods should belon g to die consignor o r t o an y o t her person. M He believed that the eeting would a ll ow that t h e C omm i ttee had done well in having done so much. It was his duty, how ever, to touch upon those cases in Which they had not sues mailed. In the test piece, the bill left all property' unprotect ed, which had not the specification Of a bill of hiding, the re• gular transfer of which (as • muxt be ob v i ous t o a ll who he ar d him) would be, generally spanking, impassible. The lion, Gentleman went on to other cases of the same nature, for which it may be better. to quote from the 'lentils of the report. " But this Act does not in either casts protect the consignee or the pledgee in the event of goods being shipped, without having been intrusted by the true owner for the purpOse of side, al. though the consignee may not hav e n o ti ce that time consignor i s not the owner, and it therefore continues to such foreign owner a right against a British consignee, .which in his own country, and according to his own law, he could not enforce. Nor does the Act protect the purchaser of goads either from a consignee in this country, or from a consignor abroad, if the true owner has not authorized the sale; btu such purchaser may be compelled to pay a second time for the satire #(ood4, tildlo4,ol he was not aware that the seller was an agent. The partial sernedy provided by the net applies only to consignments by bill of lading, and leaves all trarpoictions relating to goods by landing-carnage untouched; nordOetl it meet the numerous cases of goods represented by other symbols of property. The defeets already pointed out apply principally to merchants (though not exclusively), who are not safe in making ad vancex, upon goods consigned to them from abroad, unless they shall be satisfied diet the consignor is the owner, or if not the °tenet, that the goo& were intrusted by the owner to the consignor for sale ; but the act is particularly deficient in nut: affording protettion to the ford assistance t o c on s i gnees an d h o lders el good s , upon whieh capitaliet, who may be, and ie safrequently, called upon to af. it is only necessary to say that lie cat. in no case lend his money with perfect satety upon the credit of the goods or the symbol of property; but his security is mettle to depend tittleerultrriento industrY entirely upon the fact, which he OW possibly ascertain o r the bOrrower having a valid lien ta the extent represented of him, . the legality of' which lien again depends upon th e son ,, which rite' burrower lippenrettiodeb.,e but Signor heieg the °alter ;or if not,:then th at the goods were in trusted to him by the owner for sale; and therefore he must Make his advance in a great measure upon the credit of that borrower.

Upon their suet's end prosperity depeuded, in a great measure, the sucteiis, prosperity, and happiness of the empire at large. In the Oovernment !hate was a Board of.Tratle.eof Which lie might say, under he edema arrangement, that it wee well disposed to advance the mercantile interests of the country. lie would saggeat the consideration, whether it would not ba silvisable to bare a permanent - Board of Mere chants established to correspond with the Merchants on'the one hand, and the Ooverintiefit or Board of Trade on the other, to which Beard of Merchante or Commercial Chamber all the grievances and difficulties might be tounnun leaded, whe ther fur advice or representetion. Theta might be some diffie culty in constituting such a Road, because of the reetuieite teal and talent; and y et , w h en he considered what great numbers of eminent and intelligent merchants the City of Landon eon- Weed, he .could not admit that there would be any difficulty in forming the Board.

It would give hlatoteet satishiction to see it formed. The report would now be reed to them, and he et - lived their particular and undivided attention to the contents of it. His Hon.• Friend on the left of hint (31r. John Ilan), besides being a , sufficient master of the subject, posseesed sound voice, and was well qualified to do them that kindness. He would conclude by inviting their firm, cordial, and united effbrts towards the attainment of the whole of the object of which they had already acquired so mania, a part. • Mr. Hart. then read the report, which coincided with the various statements made respecting it by the Hon. Chairman. Mr. C. liberal proposed the Resolution for printing and eir culuting the Report. He conceived that there could be but one opinion upon the conduct of the Committee —chat they Mkt prosecuted the important interests intrusted to them with great zeal and ability. Mr. Sheriff"fgoareeosr seconded the Resolution, which, as well as those which succeeded, were unatiintously carried, Mr. Snaw agreed entirely with the views of the gentlemen who had proposed the preceeding Resolution, and at there were but 12 hours in each day, as time must be precious with those who had business to mind, and as he could easily conceire how the allitirs of each gentleman present would be likely to press upon his attention, lie would waste none of their valuable time by melting any observations on the Resolution which it was his privilege now to propose. He hoped, however, he might be excused in a d vert i ng to one top i c touched upon by the Chair. He felt the sentiment cif gratitude which prevailed with all present as to the past proceedings of the committee.— felt that the meastire had been brought on at a late period of the Session, and he remembered that it was a subject of appre hension and fear that nothing could be done with it during that Session. That wldch had been effected must be rather a matter of surprise. The committee had succeeded in bringing over to their views several of the leading persons in Adniinistration. In the midst of all these proceedings, It could not but be very striking that so considerabl e a b o d y as t h e London merchant', havinginterests of the first importance to support, should be without some ordinary and easy means 'of intercourse be tween themselves as a body, and the Government of the country. To use a grammatical figure, they were perfectly a diejunteive conjunction. They were united upon mat. ters of a common but general interest; but upon separate points, they were severally divid e d, an d not unfrequently opposed. The opposition was of the most friendly kind, and it was one which would easily give way, upon the bringing forward of any proposithin for the atlYantage of the whole body. He hoped that the observations of the Chairman would attract the consideration of all present ; and that at nu great distance of time, they might meet to consider what men , . sum would be necessary to the establishment of a permanent Chamber of Commerce. He was confident that Government would esteem such an institution highly. Government would feel and allow, as they always did, the weight of representations made by a combined body of merchants, where character and talent were in the choicest union; and those representations would be considered to comprise security, on account of the teethe and effectual, deliberution which they must IiSYtJ under.. gone. He might cite, as instances of the advantages to be de rived from institutions of that nature, the benefits which had accrued to the shipping interest, to the society of Lloyd's Cof. fee-house. ' to the West Indi a merc h ants , an d to t h e merchants interested in the Last lathe trade. The merchants of Man ehester and Liverpool bad full the advantages of' established Chamber of Commerce. (l over: intent would apptove of it, if intelligible method one were to be establi s h e d in London. And that there was i n n o ve i i ) i ti o ie f r it ar e g o u u l l l d le b i e t, p o rr deigilefrsotititult intoe m some Intelere necessitr, if there were and order, that vast heap of mercantile regulations, the furor mationun which was now contained in multiplied statutes and' rules of lew. Ile concluded' by moving the second resolution, which went to encourage the Committee (after a vote of thanks) to proceed in the same course Which they had hitherto-pursued. Mr. Jeueeer acquiesced in the praises bestowed on the Committee, and thought that the mercantile interests could not be intrusted to better management, - He seconded the restate don, which was timber supported by Mr. Bainbridge. Mr. IVoereesTok wished to add something to the resolution respecting the expediency of establishing a LontioreChaniber of Connuerce. They saw the advantages of those inetitutions abroad. Their own country might convince them hula greatly Liverpeol,and Mancheater were benefited by having chambers. Two had been erected by Royal Charter -=those of Dublin and Glasgow. He could see no difficulty In the way of attaining this object. Ile h a d b een engage d some years ago in bringing it about, and they had very nearly. succeeded. Ile had iii his potket the resolutions which it was then intended to propose, mid which might now be found useful. Doubtless they would need revision, but there would be found something in them suited to the purpose..— .He would propose an addition to the resolution, fbr the pur pose of referring to the Committee the conmideration of the mea sures necessary to the establishment of a permanent Chamber of Commerce. Ile was confident, from the assurances of Air. F. Robinson, that Government would approve of the establish ment, though they would not be bound to support it, as that must depend upon the measures to be proposed or Wontedly it. Where the shoe pinched, it must be pelt. They mese all have dikotrered the want of a focus of information upon mere candle law to which ready application might be had, and front whence ready infornuition might be drawn. Ile moved time atnendment. The taut nmAy4 Knggested that it would better preserve the order of their proceedings to carry the resolutions as they were proposed, and then to move the substance of the amendment in another resolution. The amendment was accordingly withdrawn. Mr. T. %VlLaws rose to propose the resolution of thanks to the Chairm a n. H e regretted teat the subject had not falleb into abler hands ; but he was consoled in the reflection that the merits of the Hon. Gentleman were sufficiently known: lie congratulated the Meeting on the ticeomplishment of a part of their object. He eulogized the energy and intelligence dis played by the Chairman in seeking for a refotnitition of the bankrupt laws,. which had caused him to be loOked up to re peatedly by Ooverninint, when particular information was re. qUitetj. Alderman littibutit seconded the Resolution, and begged leave to add his testimony to the intelligence anti zeal, and ac curate intbrtuation of the.eltairotan ; anti also to the respect which these talents had acquired tbr his opinions in the House of Commons. He highly approved of the establishment of a permanent Chamber of Commerce, to which government would giVe cordial con currence , as h e was convinced that go. vernme»t would zealously s t ipp o r t any measure fur the benefit of commerce. TneCHAIRMAN declined a considerable portion of the praise thus awarded him in favour of others, who had been equally active, and more useful—not that his gratitude could be abated ; and he assured the meeting that his utmost effort, should be exerted on all occasion% for the benefit of his fellow-subjects. Arr. Fattst moved a resolution of thank s t o Mr. T. Wil son and the city members for their support of the Bill which had passed, and the previous proceedings of the. Cominittee.— He did riot wish to take up the time tif the Meeting; but he couldnot help adverting to the subject of a Commercial Cham ber. He was happy to seethe eXer'tions which had been niacte to do away with partial oppressions arising from obsolete lawcand illrfoundeti regulations. lie hoped that those exer tions would Dot be confined merely to such subjects. It wait re mark:tide that the same argument which mainly applied to the objects of the Bill was equally applicable to the establish , merit of h Chamber. It had been tread that the merchants did nut seek for a new and unheard of rule of law, but to get rid of a principle ()flaw, odious, rinonialtius, oppressive, and su c h RR no other country had to contend with. So with respect to 4 Chanibtr of Connnerce. Had they not good reasons for trita blishing an institution,. especially; now, when the trade of Lou.

The meeting was to take • place at the Missionary Society's Room, Alderinanbury. Mr. LEIOH, While we were thinking ot' nothing less, rose . 10 address the, usseinbly. Ile said the hour for meeting had now arrived, 'did as 'he loVed to be punctual, he thought sonic gentletnan ,should take the chair. " For mytielf," continued the Secretary---" I am willing to be serviceable in tiny way,, and could !advance the great object we have in vi ew b y e ccept i ng the chair, I would wont willingly, however Inefficiently, tbs. charge the duties of your Chairman." A Gentleman observed, that it would pefluips be lime ed viiable to allow the meeting to appoint a Chairman. Mr. l.s t ra it (with honest wur Ith ). -- Well, I call upon theta now to do so. The Gentlernan.—Where is the Meeting ? I hope you (Ij not mean to persuade any rational being on the face of the earth that this is a public aesembly. Mr, Itrion enthusiastically replied, that he would rather be right with five hundred, than wrong with five thousand, and instantly tticceeded in gaining possession of the Chair. lie then proceeded, " Gentlemen, I have taken the Chair, because that will give to our proceedinge the air of a public meeting, I . shall now read to you a letter which I received a few duy since from Worthing. It 'comes from a metribeeoe the Illberntin `Society, gad h' recommends that subscriptions Abell he set on foot in order to incense the funds of that society.

A (lentlenuin interrupted Mr. Leigh, and said, " I rea lly cannot consider this att e mp t to force these Et...volutions upon the Public as the recorded sentiments of a public meeting, but as rnere mockery, and as an insult to the distressed people of Ire land.

Mr. " Ltiott,—l shall not edjourn the meeting. A (gentleman who had just before entered the rcom with the , formidable name of APPliale, said, " I hope not t I have a few observations to snake which I was prevented from ofkring at Mi.
