The following Resolutions were carried unanimously :- 1 . That it appears to this Meeting that it will be highly de tt!lnerital to the interests of this House and the public in gene ral, and ruinous to numerous individuals who have made insu rances their sole business, and by whose talent, experience, and i ndustry, together with those of their predecessors, during a Period of more than 100 years, the system of underwriting has b een fostered and improved beyond that of any other country, if joint stock companies or partnerships be now authorized to t ired marine insurances. 2. That, in the opinion of this Meeting, the formation ofjoint Stock companies for the purpose of effecting that which can and has been done advantageously by individuals, would be to create 30 many monopolies in different branches of commerce, be an infringement of the general rights of the public, operate as an injurious restraint upon individual exertion and competition , ‘ and destructive of that system which has produced so much be nefit to the commercial world in general. 3. That a Special Committee be appointed, who shall be, and itre hereby, authorised to prepare and present petitions to Par liament, or his Majesty's Government, and generally to adopt all such.measures as they shall deem expedient for the purpose tr supporting the interests of this establishment ; and that all ezpences attending the same be defrayed out of the funds of this house. .4.

SILK TRADE. The Earl of WESTMORLAND presented a petition from 7,000 inhabitants of the parish of St. Mathew, Bethnal-green, praying that the Bill now before their Lordships, for the re peal of the restrictions on the silk trade, may not pass into a law. The petition stated, that it would tend to increase pau perism to an alarming extent ; and under all the circumstances of the case, he requested the Noble Earl opposite (Lawler dale) to postpone the consideration of the measure until another Session, when the new laws relative to this trade would have been in operation. • The Earl of LAUDERDALE observed that the Noble Earl was wrong insupposing that the effect of the new laws on this subject would be known next year, as the Act would not take effect until 18:26. He should be Much obliged to the Noble Earl (Westmoreland) to look over the names of his petitioners, and see if a great proportion of them had not signed the peti tion that had been preSented by the Noble and - Learned Earl on the Woolsack a few days since. Ile did not like to mention names, lest he should bring individuals into danger ; but to shew their Lordships how little these petitions were to be de pended upon, he would mention an instance of a poor man who had refused to sign the petition that had been presented by the Noble and Learned Earl, and. on the. day after his refusal, his name, and those of his wife and 'children, were attached to it, in a neat clerk's hand ; and so zealous had been the party who had written these names, that they had given the man two children more than he had ever possessed, in order to swell the number of the petitioners. How many had signed in this way he did not know ; but he should be sorry if that or any House of Parliament should be instruments to such a conspiracy. The Earl of WESTMORLAND said, that whether this was or was not the case, the people's minds were alarmed, anti • he did think it impolitic to . agitate them unnecessarily at this time. The petition was then laid on the table. 1 On the Order of the Day being read for their Lordships going into a Committee on the Silk Trade Bill, - The Earl of HA BROW i3Y observed, that after the decision ' their Lordships had come to in the last Session of Parliament ' with respect to the restrictions on • the Silk Trade, he mail not avoid exyressing his surprise at the Noble Earl introducing his present Bill. To the question he had put cm a former occasion to the Noble Lord, why he should wish to persuade their Lord ships-. to come to a different opinion now to that which they came to last year, he had received no satisfactory answer. For • himself, he could see no reason for prematurely repealing Acts under which the town had enjoyed a long course of tranquillity, and the trace they regulated had flourished. Under these con siderations he would move, that the word " now" be left out, and that their Lordships go into a Committee-on the Bill that day six months. _ The Earl of LAUDERDALE did not expect the opposi tion that had been made to this measure by the Noble Lords opposite • and the argument of the Noble Earl as to the tran quillity of the town and the flourishing state of the manufac— ture under these restrictive statutes, if it were good at all,would apply to other manufactures. Why should not Manchester, for instance, be placed under the same regulations with regard to its manufacture, as the district of SpitalOelds was with refer ence to its trade. The fact was, the error of the system was glaring, and it could be supported by Noble Lords only because it was an error of long standing. The Earl of WESTMORELAND thought it too much to b hro risk the peace of the metropolis with these theoretical specula tionS, when the trade to which they referred was flourishing.
