LLOYD'S COFFEE HOUSE.

Yesterday one of our reporter' attended at Lloyd's Subs.iviption
Room, for the purpose taking down the proceedings relative to the
appointment of a Committee for the purpose of egreeing, in con-
junction with the other branches of the shipping interest, upon some
better system of classification of vessels than hal hitherto pee-
-1 wailed ; but admission was peremptorily denied him and another
gentleman who attended for • morning paper, by a llr. (leaf
Smith, or Smith Gray, as our reporter was informed. Still, how-
ever, being ansionsto obtain sonic information of the proceedings, he
waited in the lobby ; but immediately before the business of the day
commenced, the aforesaid Mr. Gray Smith, or Smith Gray, told the
porter that all persons in the lobby must be " turned out." This
summary process of ejection not being particularly usual at public
meetings, at first only excited a smile, but indications being mani.
kilted of putting the order into positive execution, our reporter felt it
his duty, to save his own feelings, to withdraw in doing which he
I WAS accom pan led bythe gentleman who at tended fyr the ot I ler journuL
It is not our present business to question the prudence or the pro-
priety of the subscribers to Lloyd's refusing to admit reporters
from these journals, who make it a point to attend acid faithcAty
to report their proceedings. All we can say is, that we IN:, so
strongly the importance of the respectable body at Lloyd's, as
well as the immense value to this country of every thing conneced
with the shipping interest, that we on no occasion have omitted to
pay them every attention. If we were not allowed to tin all we
could for their benefit, the blame lies at the door of others, not
at ours.

iVe understand, that after some discussion at the meeting a
Committee of eight was appoint ml, to meet a deputation of ship-
owners, to consider the best means to be pursued for the classitica-
tion of merchant vessels.
