W. Captain in the Angas.skire Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, a„p

in respect of one riding horse, and 10s. as the duty on an occa,iona
groom for „the year ending 24th May, 1822, which duties came
due and payable upots the 23th March, 1823, against which charge
he appealed.

exemption from the duties charged, bat the drills were made up in

applies); in consideration, however, of the circumstances -bogie

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, I,V LONDON.
A Meeting took place yesterday, at the City of London Tavern,
of Merchants, Bankers, Ship-owners, and Traders of the City of
London, to take into consideration the expediency of forming a
Chamber of Constneree.—On the motion of Mr. T. Wits's'', M.P.
doom Swint, Esq. M.P. was called to the Chair, r:ho proceeded
to inform the Gentlemen present, that several months ago a meet-
ing was held, at which it was resolved, that considerable advantage
to the mercantile world would arise from the establishment of a
Chamber of Commerce. He should not now occupy the time of
the Meeting by any discussion on the merits of the proposition; but
should recommend that copies of the Report, which was now laid
on the table, should be distributed to each at the Gentlemen for
their consideration; and that another Meeting be convened, at
which he trusted that those Gentlemen who bad given the subject
their particular attention, would express their sentiments on the
expediency of the proposed Institution.
Mr. Wou.a.svoy, in proposing the Erse Resolution, begged to
preface the motion by a few remarks in explanation of the merits
of the Institution, and stated, that although it might be considered
of a mischievous tendency, as it placed an arbitrary power in the
hands of individuals, the establishment of a Chamber of Commerce
I had been productive of much advantage at Manchester, Glasgow,
Fdiuburgis, &c. and by its interference the island of Sincapore was
saved to us, which would otherwise have been lost; and did not
doubt that much general and useful information would result to
the commercial and shipping interests by the formation of a similar
institution in London. He concluded by moving that the Report
of the itetb August List be printed ; that a general nutting he coo-
Ivened for 'Monday next, at 11 o'clock ; and that copies of the Re-.
port be delivered to the Merchants, Bankers, Ship-owners, &e. of
the City of London.
Ile Resolution was put by the -Chairman and agreed to.
bis.Woacessoas then moved that a Committee be appointed, with
'power to add to their numbers, when he was-interrupted by
Mr. 'lomat, who considered such a measure would be extremely
premature till after the discussion bad taken place.
Mr. Gasairett. M.P. Ma SMITH. Wharfinger, and Mr. G. Ills-
sway, were of the same opinion ' • and the latter observed, that al-
though heat present was not disposed to coincide with the measure,
he might neverthokss be inAuenced by the arguments brought for-
ward at the next meeting to give it his support ; and he did not
think it right to call upon Gentlemen to acquiesce hi the forming of
a Committee until they bad heard the arguments for and against it..
After some further conversation, in which

Mr. Wou.asaroat stated that be did not wish to press anything
that might be considered premature, and after the observations witkls
had fallen front Mr. Hibbert, be should withdraw the resolution.
Next Thursday se'nnight was iccerdingly fixed.

DIED.

Tuesday, in Smitb-street, Northampton-square, Mr. John Lam.
bert. He had for very many years been Printer of The Wonting
C7sronic2e, and.they who know the labour, difficulty, and anxiety at-
tending the publication of a daily Paper, will not wonder, that as
soon as he had, by exemplarrprudence, acquired a moderate coma
petency. he retired from so arduous a situation. He was perfectly
qualified Tor his duty as a Printer, and he discharged that duty with
all requisite vigilance, zeal, and fidelity.
