be ignorant of the personal disputes er bale arises to
impede the prestress of the pecliminary steps. A great
arbitration meeting—Sir J. Duke in the chair—was held a
fortnight ago at the London Tavern, to settle, if possible,
the controversy between Mr. Francis Lyne, who is himself
a merchant, and who, as the hon. secretary, has conducted,
and been regarded as responsible for, the movement, and
the opposing committee and their secretary, Mr.
Frasier. The result of the meeting seems to be
satisfactory ; and the following letter, with the com-
mercial signatures attached, seems to indicate that Mr.
Lys. is being reinstated in his position London, March,
1862 —To Mr. John Matthison Fraser and °them—Gentles
enen,—As members of the general committee, we have i
karat with touch regret that certain disputes have disturbed
the harmony which should exist between yourselves and
our honorary secretary, Mr. Francis Lyne. We lamest
now to find that it is net likely that the movement can be
benefited by the joint services of yourselves and Mr. Lyrae.
Under such circumstances, and considering that Mr. Francis
Lyne was the oliginstor of the movement, that the publie
=Gory was advanced to aid the cause called to our node*
by Mr. Lyne, and that his seal and energy have on various
occasions been applauded (without intending to offer you
any personal offence), we request, u numbers of the gene-
ral committee, that you will be good enough to give up to
Mr. Lyne all books, moneys, and papers relating to this
movement, and that you will re tire from the executive com-
mittee.—We are, gentlemen, your most obedient servants,
