" At a Meeting of the Committee—
" The House of Commons having ordered the Report pre
ted on the 17th of April, 1810, on Marine Insurance, to be
; and a notice given by Mr. Fowell Buxton, of his
"tendon to move on Monday next for a Committee of the
'Hats; on the Act 6 Geo. I. cap. 16, which restricts partner-
*lN and societies from insuring ships and goods, and from
lending money upon bottomry ;"
Resolved, That a General Meeting of the Subscribers be held
an Tuesday next, the 18th instant, at twelve o'clock precisely,
tor the purpose of considering what measures it may be neces-
lary to take in consequence thereof.
The following Resolutions were carried unanimously :
That it appears to this Meeting that it will be highly de-
tilmental to the interests of this House and the public in gene-
?al, and ruinous to numerous individuals who have made instil
'Vices their sole business, and by whose talent, experience, and
industry, together with those of their predecessors, during a
period of more than 100 years, the system of underwriting has
been fostered and improved beyond that of any other country,
if joint stock companies or partnerships be now authorised to
°reel marine insurances.
2. That, in the opinion of this Meeting, the formation of joint
stock companies for the purpose of effecting that which can and
uss been done advantageously by individuals, would be to create
30 Many monopolies in different branches of commerce, be an
nerlogement 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.
befit ta.the commercial world in general.
3. That a Special Committee be appointed, who shall be, and
ate 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
°F supporting the interests of this establishment ; and that all
expences attending the same be defrayed out of the funds of
this house.

gmtulations of his loving subjects. The decorations, orna-

and other embellishments, are of the'first order, designed and
executed in a manner well worthy the taknts of • the artists and
tradesmen employed upon' the occasion, fbr the sprendeut Of
the Court of Great Britain.
Behind the Throne is a room which waspart of an apart-
ment occupied by one of the Maids of Honour, and in which '
the New Year's Ode and the Birth-day Ode used to he per-
formed by the King's Band; the door 'being opened at the ,

Drawing-rodni, they turned walla left and passed through a
gallery, Which led them to the grand staircase withotit passing
through the other rooms. In these rooms there are seats for

Another room belonging to this spacious` suite of rooms,
which has undergone a complete change, is one which
was not opened yesterday, it dot being a Court Room—it

has been made with it and the old kitchen. The room is ot a
white ground, richly gilt in compartnientS of various dimen-
sions. The ceiling has twelve perforated ornaments. It has-
five large or molli lustres, that in the centre particularly brit,
liant and splendid. The whole of the fitting up is in a very
novel style, and is said to excel in magnificence any thing of
the kind that has ever been seen.

in their ruffs, rosettes in their shoes, and red stocks, as they
wore at the Coronation. The Presence Chamber and Presence
Gallery were lined by divisions of his Majesty's Honourable

order, the costume in which they appeared at the Coronation.—
