London, September 1, 1843.
Ile BOARD of SUPERINTENDENCE of the " HALL
of COMMERCE" take leave to draw your attention to this
Institution.
It has been built and established at a very great cost, by a
Angle individual, for the convenience of the Commercial Com-
munity of the City of London, with a degree of public spirit
worthy the metropolis of the world.
The subscription is now placed on so moderate a scale as to
be no object of consideration, in proportion to the conveniences
offered, which are set forth in the above Prospectus ; and the
Board are of opinion, that without interfering with any of the
existing establishments appropriated to specific branches of
trade, these conveniences may be found available by a very large
body of persons in the City of London—by parties visiting
London occasionally on mercantile affairs—and by gentlemen
on, the Continent and other foreign ports.
GEORGE LARPENT, Chairman.
JOHN CATTLEY, Deputy Chairman.
N.B. A Coffee-room is now open for the accommodation of
he Subscribers.

tions of being, through your countenance, placed in such a po-,
