After the Report was read,
Captain JONES R.N. begged leave to propose, 'that there-
port then read should be printed and circulated by the Committee.
This was seconded and carried.
After which, the following; resolutions were quickly and suc-
cessively carried :—Proposed by Captain EDGE, R.N.
That the thanks of the meeting be moved to his Most Gra-
cious Majesty, for his universal benevolence and patronage of
this Society.
That the thanks of the meeting be given to its Illustrious
Vice-Patrons, for the zeal they have always shewn for its suc-
cess and prosperity.
Mr. If •It col; lIT, we understood to say, felt deeply for the
interests and welfare of the Society— but there were three or four
Hospitals now completely destroying one another. The Cor-
poration should promote an excellent Institution by appro.
priating to this Charity those funds that were of comparatively
less use elsewhere. _ _ _ _ _

Captain Tit t.tiwn, R.N. moved the thanks of the meet-
ing to the Right Honourable Lord Melville, the President of
the Society.
The thanks of the meeting were then given to the Vice-Pre-
sident, and the Membefs of the Committee.
Mr. HF.Avzsi DE proposed, seconded by Captain Wr.bolf,
R.N.—That the thanks of the meeting be given to Drs'.3l4Kin-
lan and Roberts, for their humane luta able attendance on board
the Grampus.
Alderman VENABLEs proposed the thanks of the meeting
should be given to Wm. Williams, Esq. M.P. their Treasurer,
for his zealous and continued services to the Society.
Mr. Wit-Lusts returned thanks. He was deeply interested
in the welfare of the Society,which should always command his
best services. He eulogised the merits of the Charity, and con-
cluded by saying, when they were better known and appreciated
they would have no reason to complain of the smallness of their
funds.

As it is customary that six members go out annually, the
following Gentlemen were proposed as new members of the
Committee in their places, and elected without a dissentient
voice :—Sir F. Ommanney, M. P., Sir W. Kay, Bart., V. T.
Rivaz, Esq., G. B. Whittaker, Esq., A. Chapman, Esq., H.
Gaitskill, sq.
Mr. Fitatiels said, having now gone through the routine
of business for which they had assembled, he begged leave
to call their attention to one vote more, which, he was as-
sured, would be felt by every one of the meeting—That
their thanks should be given to their worthy Vice-President
for his many services to the Society, and for the able and excel-
lent manner in which he praided at that meeting.
Mr. WlLLiAsts took the Chair, and the Resolution was
carried unanimously.
Mr. MANNING returned thanks. He felt extremely obliged
by the honour done him. He should do every thing in his
power, every thing that it became a member to perform, to
promote the interests of the Society. They were deeply obliged
to- the Officers of the King's Navy—they had always their
strenuous support--they had both their countenance and their
money. They (the Navy) had hospitals of their own—they
had nn need of this Institution—yet they supported it with all
their zeal and power. He was afraid they were not quite as
active in the City of London ; he feared they were riot known
to them there; there were no set of men more liberal on other
occasions than the merchants and hankers of the City of
London. He trusted they wouldknow them better. The
Society was but in its infancy ; and he should again repeat,
it owed much to the Officers. of the King's Navy. He con-
cluded by again returning thanks.—The meeting was then ad-
journed.
