ball, both ladies and gentlemen, stood up, and con-
tinued for some minutia cheering and waving their
white handkerchief& Weider demonstrations, almost as

strongly 'narked, occurred when Mr. Lover and some
other speakers rose ; and, indeed, throughout the
seising, there could be no doubt that the feel-
legs of the meeting were most enthusiastic. Perhaps
the celebrated meg of "A min's a men for a' that" was
sever sung with each heart-stirring effect as when given by
Mr. Moir, end joined in by the whole company standing.
Mr. Muir was recalled to repeat it, which be did with, If

Mr. C. C. Romegre, the mastery, used the report of the
committee, which commenced by stating that the income of
the Exchasp had soda bees inadeqeme to the expenditure,
and that the maw of minaleare had &leads
_dialialehed ;
but It was observed that the gentlestes vie hid widartmrs
were those who had never availed thensetese of the riven-
sages of the Imertutfon. It was the firm bald of the com-
mittee, however, that though only eighteen working months
had elapsed since the establishment of the Er-
elong*, the foundation had bees laid fur its
future prosperity. A register had hem formed which
had proved extremely valuable to them who had con-
sulted it, and an important correspondence had been serried
on with the solicitor to the Board of Inland Bwrweraa, which
it was hoped would tend to prevent unlicensed paaaene dem
designating themselves, as auctioneers • that bed
brought much discredit upon the profeittion. The committee
had oleo been in communication with Lord fit. Lassidettsca

nemsbwe were sow included in the reports of the Exchenge,
sad waked seedcases of mike ia Loudon wee filed wed re-
gimented. In • few yews these records would be of vassals
orist•aes to members in matters of valeation. A tribunal
of mimeses upon difficult questions of practice had been
astadielend. Though long wanted, such provides bad never
been made before for the advantage of the predation. The
eneppceoett then intimeted that a small Increase in the annual
wDserlptiea would be neceeseuy for a time, and that the
Imitation of a benevolent fund for decayed members of the
preforica was deserving of comaiderstion ,• and it concluded by
asproslair a strong opinion on the part of the committee that
the seesent results of tha Exchange were es favourable as
reasonably have been anticipated, that its principles
were mead, and that their confidence in its success was
I whet.
The pewee having been adopted, on the motion at the
CKAIIIXAS, seconded by Mr. J. Lena, the committee and
auditors wire sleeted ; end it was subsequently resolved that

mittee shooid take into consideration the beet means of

fortune require it. The proceedings terminated with the
