on reading the 23ed rule, be thought they weeld uty,
that although it would perhaps be legal to Inaba • P"Pa•
'Won for altering on. of the geoeral raise, still they
would be aoareely laboring instilled in so doing. This
was the rule:—

"No moral rale aides hospital shall be altered, suspended,
or annulled, except at i dotterel meting of the Governor', duly
coareasd atter tea day( Itasca"
No doubt Ws was a pascal meetbig duly convened after
more than lea days' notice; bet it seemed to him that
the moaning was, thet no rale should be altered,
or annulled, unlres • pnwel meeting was

It coodoeting the business of the lostitution, If at soy
general msetiog, • Gorrrnor oould propose the alters-
tloll of a rale of the hospital, carry it, and so, perhaps,
materially Wore the institution. It seemed to him,
If he was right in his view of the aaae, that the only
business Wore them was to °outsider lb* expediency of
filling up the two vacanci;e• which had immured ; and,
to facilitate business, he would propose that the vacancy
oocarioned hr the resignation of Mr. Tapp, as swanking
sergrott, bo filled up.
Tbe Rev. E. W. Pears seconded the mottos.

Major Frampton said be did not know what Mr.
Bingham ref..rred to--what motion Irma to to brousht
forward, or bow far the role applied ; but. if it Ina im•
portant, he would at once more the adjournment of the
imotios to mobla the whole subject to be brought

Ibe Chairman said it asontad dear front what Mr.
Bingham had stated that thoy had a spatial duty I.
perform. He did not ma to say that the motioe
indicated by Hr. Framptos could not awantoraot
but it was for this mooting to decide what sours* should

Major Frampton said he understood it was thought
by Fume that it would be a good thing to haw* three
surgeons instead of two; but that would entail an
&iteration in rule 1L It seemed that two gentlemen

Irregular to alter the rule et the pr,sent meeting, that
another general meeting be ailed to consider the
subject.
Mr. Cooper, of Whitoombe, seconded the proposition.
lie observed that the two gentlemen who were candi-
dates would give their eerviese gratuitously, and he
thought they ought to be very mush obliged to them.

meeting to revolve that it was desirable to appoint three
