RENFREV.7.

On Tuesdac a general meeting of the noblemen,
geathotee, dairymen, jruiders of the peso., sad magistreten
of town. within the county of Renfrew we. held within the
Corrt-hell, Paisley, fur the purpose of considering the pro-
priety of opening • subscription in aid of the fund for relief
of the auftereni by the Indian mutiny. The Right 8010 the
Elul of GI.A:IIHAV presided.
Tb. CHAIRMAN then TOM end said—Gentlemen, it is
now just three years since we met in this seine h.ll for the
purpose of entering upon • public subscription which had
for its object the relief and support of the widow. sad chil-
dren of the soldiers who fell in the Crimea. At that meet-
ing it was re.shol that • subscription in aid of the
Patriotic Fund should be collerded in all the different
districts of the county, and committees were appointed in
the several districts fur this object, and Uri. led to a
most enoeessful result. The object for which we are now
mett although in many newts different, would not be re-

desirous of proving their 'linearity in this reepect, bythsi
liberality and genendity of their subscriptions. (Loud
applause.) We are now celled upon to .nbecnbe in aid of a
had, not only fir the relief of the families and their depen-
dant who have fallen victims to the atrorkma cruelty of
the Indian mutineers, but fur others who have been re-
dhead from comparatively atiluant cinumstanoes to poverty,
and who, from being deprived of their employment, have
been compelled to submit to the most severe privations.
Themes& of these parties, indeed, would be compelled to
begin the world again anew. The enormous atrocities
which have been committed by the mutineers would have
been beyond belief wen they not unhappily bat too well
authenticated ; indeed, whenever it had been in their power
to abuse the Esropean residents, the conduct of the rebels
had been marked with • meabinstics of cowardice and
cruelty. (Applause.) Bat the day of retribution was at
hand. Death was the acknowledged puaishownt of mutiny;
and we may expect ere long to hear that the puniehmeat hen
been dealt out with no sparing hand. (Renewed applaune.)
But although we may expect that each succeeding mail a ill

news, we mast not allow ourselves to forget that a great
