At one o'clock his Royal Highness the Duke or
GtAtocesTea entered the room, prscriled by the
Stewards, and took the Chair amid great applause.
His Royal Highness then addressed the Meeting.
He commenced by lamenting that he laboured under
severe iudisposition, and would be under the aircetar
oily. otter a short stay, of requesting their indul-
gent permission to withdraw. Indeed the state of ,
his health was smelt. that nothinghut the warm in-

juiced to are so numerous and rcirectablea was ins
tally convinced as he was of the great importance
heloched to the objects they had ill view on the pre-
sent occasion. It was most gratifying to find the
great support which those objects obtained, in every
quarter, among the Magistracy, indeed with every
body who took an interest in the well heing or
society.-lApplante.)—Not may at home him' ins

by stating that the Meeting would now have Ste

distinguished personages who then surrounded
him, many of whom were so much better qualified
than he could pretend to be, to enlarge on the
great and important object they had in view. But
the fact was, that from peculiar circumstances he
was euabled to state from the very outset what hod •
