The Notice for the Meeting, of which the following is an
extract, was read : .
" Lloyd's, May 12, 1824.

" At a Meeting of the Committee—
" The House of Commons haring ordered the Report pre-
4ented on the 17th of April, 1810, on Marine Insurance, to be
re-Printed ; and a notice given by Mr. Fowell Buxton, of his
intention to move on Monday next for a Committee of the
Rouse, on the Act 6 Geo. I. cap.ll3, which restricts partner-
shiPa and. societies from insuring ships and goods, and from
lending money upon bottomry;"
Itesolved, That a General Meeting of the Subscribers be held
°rl Tuesday next, the 18th instant, at twelve o'clock precisely,
Mr' the purpose of considering what measures it may be neces-
liatY to take in consequence thereof.
The following Resolutions were carried unanimously :-
1. That it appears to this Meeting that it will be highly de-
tt!lnerital to the interests of this House and the public in gene-
ral, and ruinous to numerous individuals who have made insu-
rances 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 authorized to
tired marine insurances.
2. That, in the opinion of this Meeting, the formation ofjoint
Stock companies for the purpose of effecting that which can and
has been done advantageously by individuals, would be to create
30 many monopolies in different branches of commerce, be an
infringement 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-
nefit to the commercial world in general.
3. That a Special Committee be appointed, who shall be, and
itre 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
tr supporting the interests of this establishment ; and that all
ezpences attending the same be defrayed out of the funds of
this house.

UOOD. HOPE.

THE COMMITTEE for MANAGING the
pr, SUBSCRIPTION for the RELIEF of the DIS-
TRESSED SETTLERS at the CAPE of GOOD HOPE,
In Publishing an additional List of Contributions, deem it pro-
Per to state that the object of the present subscription Is of a
temporary nature, and intended for the purpose only of rescu-
ing the unfortunate settlers from a state of actual want and
IlliserY, until more effectual measures can be adopted for their
Permanent relief. Considering the amount hitherto subscribed
LI very, inadequate to attain this desired object, the Committee
again confidently appeal to the humane feelings of those indi-
viduals who have not yet come forward on this occasion, for
that further aid which the necessity of this distressing case so
4rgently. demands.
