LISTRII ON OF pHs PREMIUMS
AWAROEU. BY TOB SOCIETY,OF ARTS.

The getters! Interest which this Institution ex.
cites in the mind of the polite public could not be
better shewn than by the great number of Cashion.
able Ladies and Gentlemen who assembled, at an
early hour, at the Society's House, in.John.street,
Adeiphi, to wait the opening of the doors, which
took place at eleven o'clock 'Yesterday morning.
On this, the company entered so quickly, that in
a few minutes the Great Room, where the busi,
ness was transacted, though of large dimensions,
was completely filled with the most brilliant assem.
blage of beauty and fashion, surpassing, perhaps,
what is to be found at any periodical meeting in
the Metropolis. About It o'clock, his Greco
the Duke of Norfolk, who is President of the
Society, arrived, attended by a numerous com.
puny of persons of distinction ; among whom we
noticed the Persian Ambassador, and the Mar.,
gravine of Anspach. who has frequently contd.
bated to the Society's collection of ingenious cu.
riosities. His Grace having taken the Chair, the
business was opened ly the Secretary to the So-
ciety, Dr. Charles 1 aylor, who, in an elegant
oration, explained to the company the nature and
object of the Institution to be the encouragement

otic individuals, expended near 40,0001. and luau.
nierable honorary rewards, and that many of the
now most important branches of our manufac.
tures were, when in their infant state, protected
and nourished under the influence of this Society ;
