was proposed to appiiiht a Committee for the pur-
loose of devising merot tes to secure the attainintint
of their object. A ti.t of fifteen Gentlemen was
otteoralint,ly read over as eligible to form this Coin-
',titles. On reading the same of Mr. Rowcroft,
that Gentleman begged to deciisse the honour in-
tended him, as he had ow yet made tip his mind on
the subjer:t of the proposed institution. He could
easily conceive a Company of this nature being
very advantageous to trade, although it might be
injurious to the interest of some '.Gentlemen
around him. That the Company to which the
Resolutions referred, was of that nature which he
could approve, he was not prepared to say ; but
yet, as 1w was not acqitainted with it, lie wished
to suspend his judgment respecting its eligibility,
and therefore would deem it ine.onsistent to become
a member of ally hotly e9ecially appointed to op.
pope it. The wish of Mr. Rowcroft was acceded
to, and his name immediately cancelled.
Mr. Woon approval of the Company to which
the Resolutions referred, being of opinion that it
would be pro,luctive of much good to the commer-
cial world, without doing any injury to the lac-
rests of that House or its Members.
Mr. B. SHAW spoke strongly in favour of the
Resolutions. lie cautioned the Meeting to be
particularly careful in selecting the Members of
this Committee, as many important Members of
that House, including some of those who formed
the Committee for managing its concerns, were
known to have Shares in the proposed Company.
Mr. IIA 1.1.11)1y followed On the same side.

Upon Mr. MA [MYATT'S name being proposed
as one of the Committee, that gentleman expressed
his regret, that being under the necessity, as a
Member of the house of Coinnions, to attend to
Committees of that House, he could not became
an efficient Member of this Committee, and re.
()nested, therefore, that his name might be omitted.
Toe Hun. Gentleman, however, declared, that he
wort anxiously wished success to that object which
the resolutions had in view, pledging himself to
appose his utmost efforts to the measure referred
to in all its stages. To the principle of chartered
companies he prof'ossed himself decidedly hostile.
A chartered company was, in his judgment,
generally an evil, because it interfered with the
rights of it ttluaa ; but in the instance which
,ease ri.e t•i this meeting, it was particularly to be
ttepr, called as an evil, because it would interfere
with a positive good, namely, with the interests of
that 11ouw, to Which lie was strongly atached,
pot only from a recollection of the property which
he had derived from it, and from a regard to the
majority of its members, but from a conviction of
the patriotism and public spirit, the loyalty and
liberality which belonged to it, and which it had
on all occasions so signally displayed. This at-
tachment Ito would endeavour to evince by his
UM fur their cause upon this occasion.
Mr. fllarryatt was repeatedly cheered, and ano.
'her name WAS substituted for his upon the Cool.
After the Committee was-completed, the Chair-
man and Mover of the Revolutions were thanked,
anti the Meeting dissolved.
