At Bristol, th« Commercial Rooms were 
ti open on Che 29th. The rules and regula¬ 
tions, as settled at the general meeting held 
tie ^Sth day of July last, the great room, the 
fading room, and the committee-room, are 
appropriated to ihe use o-f the subscribing 
prapi ietors and their nominees. The large- 
ro.-i 7 i is intended to be used as a news-room> 
and for general public business j the reading- 
toon. (as its title imports)- for the reception 
and use-of pamphlets and such publications 
23 may be desirable to the institution j and the 
committee-room, for tl'o.e general purposes 
Co \\ iich, in practice, it may be found best 
adapted. The rooms, as prescribed by the 
legulations, are to be open, throughout the 
^ear, fr-cm eight o’clock in the morning till 
ten ct night, and are to be under the manage¬ 
ment of a roaster appointed by and under the 
eiitire direction of the committee, on behalf of 
the subscribers. It is the intention of the 
committee to provide for the use of the sub¬ 
scribers, a competent supply of London, and 
the best-established provincial, Scotch, and 
Irish newspapers, as well as some from the 
Biitish Colonics and the United States, with 
such leading continen al papers as frotn the 
peculiar state of turope can be procured a.nd 
are thought worthy of admission to the room, 
together with, the several lists and similar 
publications connected with the commerce of 
the country. The foregoing, w^ith the best 
selected maps and books of reference, and a 
continual supply of the periodical and popular 
publications of the day, will, it is hopeo by 
the committee, render the institution alike 
desirable to the man cf business, of letters, or 
of leisure; and that the very moderate annual 
subscription of t'zvo guineas for pimptieCors and 
their nominees will not le thou^ilit w’orthy 
consideration, when contrastea with the nu¬ 
merous advantages afforced.—For our parts we 
sincerely congratulate this ancient city in an 
insti utioii so fraugnt with utility, anJ lecom- 
nier.d it as worthy of gei cral imitation through 
the West of England. — Briotol is not famous 
for its liberal and literary spirit, yet it evident¬ 
ly improves as its meichaats begin to be less 
engaged in ’he s.-rdid pursuits oi commerce.
