-ing`e individual, for the ennvenience of the Commercial Com-

worthy the metropolis of the world.

(leered, which are set forth in the above Prospectus ; and the
Board are of opinion, that without interfering with any of the
,xisting establishments appropriated to specific branches of

Cody of persons in the City of London—by parties visiting
' ondus► occasionally on mercantile affairs—and by gentlemen
from the Continent and other foreign ports.-
