towards the fund to clothe. and arm the
volunteers and only regretted that he was not twenty years
younger, so that he might enter the ranks and bear

.Mr.,S; H. IXT:mpso4)4-, in seconding the resolution,
enforced the necessity of sinking all political and sec-
tional differefiCes, so that the nation might proclaim
with one voice its stern determination to resist any
invader.

Mr. CHAS. MELLY, and Mr. THOS. SELLAR also sup-
ported th'e motion. The latter gentleman expressed his
opinion that the present movement would prove the
cheapest and best means of defending the nation.
Mr. WEIR ANDEus_om, iusupporting the motion, stated
that in 1804, when the , population of England was
11,200,000, there were 379,000 Volunteers ; and urged
that, with its present population, we ought not to look

The QJIAIRAIAN said he might now state that the Rev.
Rector Campbell wished to have his name put down as
a donor of.£s. (Applause.)
The resolution was then agreed to.
Mr. S. R; Gliprne, at the request 'of the chairman,
addressed the .meeting ; and, after some congratulatory
remarks, proceeded to say : I don't wish to speak harshly
of any nation, or disparagingly of any sovereign, espe-

to commence operations, against the Chinese. For some

bouring nation; and I don't think it wise,-prudent, or
judicious to say. more than a few words to p_rotp.ote the
object we have in view. Any words spoken unnecessarily

assist in rousing to action the peopl.,
