CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

(From the 13riotol Meicury of Tuesday.)
The Annual Meeting of this Society, so important in its
nature and objects to the interests of this city, was held
yesterday, at the Commercial Rooms.

The principal objects which, during the preceding year,
appear to have engaged the atteutirn of the Directors are
as follow :—First, the estahlishing of a regular communi-
cation between this city and Liverpool. Secondly, the for-
mation of the llristol and Ghinces-ershire rail-way, which,
it is stated, will be opened at Midsummer ; and lastly, the
opening of a cattle market, and the erection of an kote! worthy
this large and populous city. They have also used consi-
derable exertions in endeavouring to make Bristol a mail-
station to the South of Irel:ind ; but Government has re-
fused to accede to, or even to entertain this proposal, on
the ground that there is not sufficient accommodation at
Portishead. The annual report (which from the great
length of some of the documents was only partially read)
also stated, that the Proprietors of the Kennet and Avon
Canal had been induced to make arrangements by which
the transit of goods between Bristol and London would be
greatly expedited, and the charge for carriage considerably
reduced.

The PRESIDENT of the CIIA3IBER here addressed the
Meeting upon the subject of the Suspension Bridge, in-
tended to be thrown across the Avon. The original
legacy left for that purpose by Mr. Vick, had been found,
from estimates tendered by Mr. Milne and others, together
with Parliamentary expeucee, to be insufficient. It bad
been thought advisable, therefore, to open subscriptions in
aid of an. object so important to the interests of the city;
and he had the pleasure to announce that the affair already
wore the most pleasing aspect, and far exceeded the most
sanguine expectations of the Committee.
The business relative to the past year having been now
concluded, the thanks of the Meeting were unanimously
returned to the President and Directors for their active
exertions in carrying bite effect their Resolutions.
The PRESIDENT returned thanks.

Several propositions were then suggested by different
gentlemen relative to the welfare and commercial interests
of the city ; and, among others, Mr. Visgar brought
forward a subject which would, he said, if thoroughly in-
vestigated, produce a saving to the commercial inhabitants
of Bristol of upwards of 2,0001. per annum. He alluded
to the charge of 10d. upon every London letter, which
was made by Government upon the estimated distance of
122 miles ; whereas, if the mail took the proper route, he
was convinced the distance was not near so great, and
would bring the postage of London letters from 10d. to
9d. Or even allowing the mail to take its present route,
still, the alterations and improvements on the line of road,
which had considerably shortened it,—would bring it
within the estimated distance of 122 miles. It was
unanimously resolved that a representation to this effect
should be made to the postmaster.
Mr. RINGER proposed to the meeting that a communi-
cation should be kept up between this city, Penzance, Ply-
mouth, and other places in the Channel, by means of
steam-packets; the present communication by sailing
vessels being uncertain and hazardous. Bristol, lie said,
ought to be the metropolis of the West of England; the
trade of that part of the kingdom belonged to her, and
she ought to hare it. The general feeling on the part of
the inhabitants of the places to which he had alluded was
very favourable to this city ; and they were only withheld
from making Bristol their market instead of London, by
the cause he had assigned—the uncertainty of the present
communication by sailing vessels. A groat deal of dis-
cussion took place upon this proposition, and the motion
was eventually withdrawn.
A gentleman here brought forward a motion relative to
the propriety of presenting to Government a petition for
the repeal of the Insolvent Debtors' Act. The evils of this
well .intended but imperfect act of the legislature were ably
pointed out by the speaker.
The motion was cars iecl with applause.
Mr. MassenEE then, after premising that he did not
wish to bring forward or to press any thing discordant to
the general sense of the meeting, suggested the expediency
of presenting a petition to Parliament on the distresied
state of the country. The gentleman who preceded him,
he said, had ascribed the present distressed state of the
country in a great measure to external causes, and to the
influence of the Insolvent Act ; he (Mr. Manchee) could
ascribe it to many other causes—to excess of taxation—to
the ivithdrawal of our circulating medium; he would not,
however, proceed to mention the further causes which
might be assigned for the distress, nor would he move that
tin y should be given in the petition which Ise pro-
posed to be presented; he merely proposed that such
a petition should be sent to Parliament, leaving it to the
discretion of the Board to state the causes of the existing
distress as they thought proper. Ile certainly thought
that suds an appeal, coming from an authorised bLdy, would
be. attended with beneficial effects.

Mr. Srocx was of opinion that the ground of such a
petition was of too broad and extensive a kind. The re-
presentations of the Chamber of Commerce had always
hitherto received the attention of the members of the legiT
slature; but the subject of Mr. Manchee's rnction being
of a disagreeable and embarrassing nature, it might lead
them to look with an altered eye upon the future proceed•
ings of the Chamber. Mr. Stock here read avi iuse from
the regulations of the Chamber, by which it plainly ap-
peared that the motion of Mr. Maneliee was not admis-
sible. It was. accordingly withdrawn.
The business of the day here concluded ; and the meet-
ing was adjourned to Monday next, at twelve o'clo,A,
when the remaining business will be gone into at t4e Offic
of the Chamber in St. Steplien-street..
