THAMES ANGLING PIIESERVATION SOCIETY.—The
seventh general annual meeting of this Society was yester-
day held at the Freemasons"ravern, Great Queen-street,
Lincoln's Inn-fields, and was the most numerous and influen-
tial assembled since its formation. W. H. Whitbread, Esq.,
took the chair, and regretted that the funds of the Society
had not kept pace with the exertions of their excellent and
worthy treasurer and secretary. Henry Farnell, Esq., the
hon. secretary, read the annual report, by which it appeared
that the Thames, through the exertions and watchfulness of
the bailiffs of the Society, was in the finest angling condition
from Richmond to Staines, abounding in the largest trout,
jack, perch, dace, barbel, and roach. Poaching and illegal
netting were nearly annihilated, for during the past year
there had been only eight convictions. If the Society were
not better supported, he and his honourable colleague, 11.
Perkins, Esq., of Amworth Park, would be obliged to re-
sign, and the Society to dissolve • and then farewell to angling
in the Thames, since it would be almost entirely despoiled of
its fish. Henry Perkins, Esq., the hon. treasurer, read the
financial account, by which it appeared that the xpenses of
the year exceeded the receipts by 26/.ls. Id and that defi-
ciency, added to a former accumulating ;nada the Society
indebted to him 92/. lls. 6d. Severa one,
etlemen present said
that they had come to pay subscriptions of two years' stand
ing, for which they had never been asked. it was resolved to
continue the Society, and every member present pledged
himself to support the treasurer and secretary, in order to
prevent the dissolution of a Society meriting the zealous sup-
port of every brother of the gentle craft in London and its
vicinity. The usual courtesy having been tendered to the
chairman, the meeting separated.
