LL0YD's COFFEE HOUSE.

Max Schleslnger in his very readable work
thus aludes to Lloyd's, place lamou
throughout the commercial world I
In the London Exchange Building :tsel
there is a broad staircase, with crowds of bus,
people ascending and descending, and there i
Il door with large gold letters, a Lloyt's Cof
fee House." Let US ascend that staircase, enc
see what sort of coffee house this is. VIZ
pass through large hall, from which door.
open to several rooms at each door stands
porter in scarlet livery. In the hall itself are
several marble statues and large marble tab
| let, which the merchants of London erected
to the Times, out of gratitude for the success
| ful labors of that journal in unmasking gi-
gantic scheme of imposition and fraud which
threatened ruin to the whole trade of London
In the centre Of the hall there is a large black
board, on which are written the names and
destinations of all the ships carrying mails
which will sail from English ports on that and
the following day In the corner to the right
there is door with the inscription, Captain
Room" No one is allowed to enter this room
but the commanders of merchant vessels, or
those who have business to transact with
them. Next to it is the Commercial Room,''
the meeting place of all the foreign merchants
who come to London. We prefer entering a
saloon on the other side of the hall, the doors
of which are continually opening and shut
ting it is crowded with the underwriters,
that is to say, with capitalists, who do bust
ness in the assurance of vessels and their
frelghts. The telegraphic messages of vessels
arrived, sailed, stranded, or lost, are first
brought into this room. Whoever enters by
this door, walks, in the first instance, to
large folio volume which lies on desk of it's
own 1t is Lloyd's journal, containing short
entries of the latest events in English ports
and the seaports in every other part OF the
world 1t tells the underwriters whether the
vessels they have insured have sailed, whether
they have been spoken with, or have reached
the port of their destination. Are they over
due run aground wrecked ?-lost ? In
this room there are always millions at stake.
SO firmly established is the reputation of this
institution that there is hardly ever bark
sailing from the ports Of the Baltic, or the
French, Spanish, or Indian Seas, which is noe
insured at Lloyd's. Its branch establishments
are IN al. the commercial ports Of the world /;
but its head d-office is in Cornhill and in the
rooms of the Exchange. Before we again de-
scend the stairs, let us for one moment enter
the reading-room. Perfect silence; tables,
chairs, desks readers here and there men of
walls high desks with files of newspapers,
whose shape and color indicate that they have
not been printed in Europe indeed, papers
from the other side of the ocean-Chi-
ma, Barbary, Brazilian, Australian Cape, and
Honolulu papers-a collection unrivalled in
extent.
