FICERS of his MAJESTY'S ROYAL NAVY
and MARINES, of and above Wardroom rank, h invite l
to assemble on MONDAY next, July 11, at the Horticul-
tural Society's Rooms, 21, Regent-street, at Twelve

The Questions proposed to be submitted to it are as
follows :

let. The Rev. Dr. Bell, Prebendary of Westminster,
and the celebrated inventor of the '" Madras System o:
Mutual Tuition," having bestowed on the Naval School,
about to be established, " under his Majesty's most graci-
ous Patronage," a donation of 10,0001. 3 per cent. Bank
Annuities, on condition ti► it it adopt that system, and the
London Committee having thought it advi•eable to accept
this munificent otrer—" Whether the service at large will
concur in such decision ?"

2d. What General Principles shall in such case govern
the Institution, especially as regards the rate of admission
of Members,—the nomination of Scholars,—and the quali-
fication requisite to entitle to elect, or be elected, into the
" Council of Administration."

......
3d. Whether in the mean time (whilst it is impossible
to proceed to the latter election, from not knowing who are,
and who are not Members, or willing to become so) it be
not expedient, in order to expedite the mass of business to
be transacted in the commencement of such an undertak-
ing., to give full powers to thirteen senior and distinguished
Officers, residing in and near London (with authority to
add to their number, if they should see fit), authorising
them to consider it fixed; that the project shall be
carried into execution on such scale as the subscriptions
and donations may warrant, and requesting them to act for
the best in all emergencies ; particularly to carry into exe-
cution, ae far as may be possible, the Resolutions of the
General Meeting—to appoint the requisite Office's pro
terfiPre to assist in this—to concert with the out-port
Committees, so as to come to a common agreement as to
the situation of the proposed School,—to act on that
agreement as promptly and energetically as possible—and
in June, 1832, when it may be expected that the project
will be fairly started—to assemble another General Meet-
ing, resign their authority, and cause a regular " Council
of Administration" to be elected in proper form.
