A meeting of the Members of this Society was held
lest night at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, for the
Purposep of receiving the Report of the Committee ap.
inted to draw up a Code of Laws. At eight o'clock,
pc. Birkbecic, attended by the Members of the Com-
Rime, and several distinguishes' Gentlemen, entered
the rnom ; be was immediately voted into the Chair.
.t that date-the large room of the Crown and Anchor
ste Iwo thirds fired, though 'we understand no person
war admitted but Members. In opening the business
of the evening, Dr. Bit kbeck took occasion to praise
thirst order whichthe persons who bad attended the
lajaublic Meeting had preserved, and to express a
spa that the high character the Mechanics. of the Ma.
two, had then acquired, would not be forfeited on
the present occasion. The Report of the Committee was
then lead, and a long list of additional donations,
among which were Mr. Morrison f.:‘2o ; Mr. Thompson,
of Castle Wink, near Lanark, D2O; Hon. James. Aber-
crombie, E 10; 'William Tooke, Esq. M. P.; James
Loh, Esq. E 5 ss. &c. &c.
FREND, E.sq. rose to move that the Report be
received. He was not desirous to renew the dispute as
question how far the cultivation of art was COM•
to the
poi* With the acquisition of science. It was his con.
'jai:o,Bnd he was sure it was that of the Meeting alscs
shar they went hand in hand together, that they might,
brooked, and that, by the- union and combination of,
pesenctd skill with theoretic knowledge, the alest jai..
pottifil.binefiti would result to society.
The motion was seconded, and the Report of theCim,
-inatimously adopted.

are Committee. 'Thee related to the appointment of
aleefficers of the institution, the receipts and expen-
here, the nomination of trustees. and bankers, the mode
rad time of balloting for the election of officers, and si.
sitar arrangements for the government of the society.
Joao STRNET TAYLOR, Esq. (Banister) rose to more
the the laws be now sanctioned end adopted by the
Meeting. Although nominated on . the Committee, he'
rat not able to attend; and when he spoke of the seal
cod ability which the Committee bestowed on the pre-
paration of these laws, he might be missed from the
charge of uttering 'interested praise. The labour and
amity with which they were drawn up was a proof
itheir propriety, and he earnestly recommended their
adoption to the Society. , •-•
This motion was duly seconded, and after some dis-
union, is which the workingmen took an active part,
i was unanimously adopted. ..
Mr. BALLET (ironmonger) rase to submit an addition
n the laws, which was a proposition to the effect that
o the 18th law, which obliged " Every member to pay
ire shillings at the least for one-quarter in advance, it
Mild be added, " that any person paying ten pounds
Id, become a member for life."
This proposition seat unfavourably received by the
Meeting. Twenty pounds were substituw.l for ten ; but
being put from the Chair, motion the was'negatived.
Me. MARTINEAU next moved that the following Gen-
en should-be. requested to accept the office of Trns-
. to the Inst it utioni—Dr. Birkbec k; H. Broughams, Esq.

mitteemen (of whom two-thirds must belong to the

who composed the' Committee who drew up the laws,
should be reappointed 2 Committee, ad inierim, to ma-
nage the affairs of the Institution till the,lsth Dec. next.
when the first regular Committee of Managers will
be appointed. Mr. Hansard passed a warm encomium'
both on the objects of the Institution, and on the manner
is which its interests bad been hitherto superintended
by the Gentlemen who had taken so active and praise-
worthy a part in 'its origination and stipport.': He felt
deposed to have entered more at large into the subject,
bit be had been so fully anticipated by the Gentlemen
who had already spc.ken, and particularly by one (Mrs
Freud) whose liberal and excellent sentiments on the
minion gave him a just title to be considered as the
Nod of teen, that he would content himself with sim-
oy 'reposing the motion .which had been put into
bh hands.—Tbe motion was then put and carried with
strong marks of appiebation. • '
. Dr. Gleenetet then proposed. a vote of -thanks to
Heir worthy Chairman, whose exertions for the improve-
s/sit of the working classes entitled Witt to the pad-
ti.licif the mecbattics, *2S well as of every class in the
.
community. ... . , . .. .. .
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks; he encouraged the
Society to persevere in their laudable efforts to-establish
the Mechanics' Institution, congratulated them on their
past success, and assured them that they might always
command his services in any way that could be useful,
to their interests.
