in their, respecrive Parishes, the object of these
Resolutions, and of the recommendation of the General
Amembly.
Copies of die Resolutions of the General Mteking, and of
the Committee, were alto, agreeably to appointment, trans-
mitted to the Commanding Officers of Local Militia, Yen.
amory, and Volunteer Corps, with a request that they would
give their consitehanee to the G I Suitscription in aid
of the Ronnie, Monument.
Although every possible, and indeed the most fa-
cilities were given in the department of the Post.olfice,
whose very patriotic and respectable &Trimly, Mr. Kerr,
freaked, is the course of the autumn, no fewer than 1,200
dispatches; although every possible facility west in the hand-
somest manner, rendered in the Adjutant-General's apart-
ment, try furnishing lisdi of the Yeomanry, Local Militia, and
Volunteer Corp.; mod although the Agent for the Church of
Scotland furnished must promptly the recommendation of
the General Assembly; yet owing to the uoavoidahle delay
attendant no so much detail, it was, as the Committee might
really oniceive, fir advanced im the autumn before the vari-
ous dneutimentsi and the engraved plin of the intended 810-

should ant have reached the places of their destination, ba
hoped each so occurrence would be ascribed to accidestc
and not to any ioteotional oversight.
There has therefore been scarcely time for any general
movement, or to receive returns from the dere', or from
the Commoners of the Yeomanry and Volunteer Curls; he
had, hoverer to mention comstribotioos from the Paragon ef,
Polwarth alai Cowrie, averaging at the rate of 101. per.
perish, which he hoped woman be the average SODOM of
'hares and donations over Scotland. He had

July; aid there undid be found amongst the subscribers am

of the leading mimes iu the subscriptious.)
All the hanks in Edinburgh, with their country breeds*
be stated, bad obligingly agreed to act as cashiers, and Its
open an secoust for the National Monument ; and Sir WM..
ham Forbes and Company have also agreed, in the hand.
somiest manner' to act as general treasurers. Time Com.
miller, the subscribers, and the country, he said, were asset
welcome to Iris bumble and gratuitous services as Secretany
to which lie had, from the commemmenseot, resolved strictly
to coolies his duties.

He was glad to report, that while the subscription al
home is daily incressieg, and must increase, the substrip-
*jou abroad, in the Celt and West Indies, and is the Bri-
tish settlements itl every quarter of the globe, is at this mu.
mint, he had every reason to believe, proceeding max
the must favourable auspices. Is proof of this fact he
begged leave to read a■ article in TM lidiaAergils Star,
with which the Editor obligingly famished lam last sight,
containing extracts from The Royal Jamaica Gemette,
which anew that 'sr countrymen in the tVesters Heusi.
sphere have tahad up the 'abject, agreeably to the
recsassiesslatioss of the geweril mei:lisp held at Edis-
burgh and Lerida.' in spring last, and every accoust fa-
?mired the presumption that the subscriptiou from Jamaica,
and oar siberWest India Colonies' whose Governors were also
written to, would be most liberal ; anti it is well knows
that the Marquis of Hastings is [midis, and the Ea►l of
Dalhousie is America, will give every possible impalas le
the measure.
There was sot yet, however, macient time to receive
reports from those remote parts, the dispatches baring only
ham seat out after the Loudon meeting in the end of May
last.

He concluded by expressing • hope, flit the foundation
store of the National dltutumest would be laid on some early
anniversary, either of the batik of Trafalgar or Waterloo,
mid that there was wow every probability of Scotland obtain-
ing her aboneillteil as soon as, or perhaps berate, Englasd;
sod concluded by observing, that works of such eminent
public utility sad armament, are worinestionably the best
means of aiding the iudustrious classes of the community;
soil while they are tributes justly due to the illustrious dead
and pliant living, tend at the same time to improve the
hest aillectious of the people, and are the most precious end
valisaide bequests that can be made to posterity.
In reference to the plan soil site it was observed, that is
trassisittiag Mr. Elliot's rely elegant and classical design
formed ea the Pantheon at Rome, the following rote was
subjoined to the resolutions: " The Committee are desk.'
uss it should be anderatood that nothing has yet bee, deters
mined, either in regard to the plan of the buildiug, or its
situation, both of which will be matter fur (attire sad de-
liberate consideration ; but the general impression seems
to he, that the design to be ultimately adopted should either
he formed on or be an exact model of some of the most ap-
proved alrucisires of antiquity."
In reference also to the realisations and investiture al the
subscriptioss, the Committee, after some deliberation,
were 14 opinion, that it would be proper to defer tbat mar
sure for the present.
The Committee then came to the following Resolution!
The Committee having beard the report of the premed.
hags that have taken place since their last meeting oa the
Ud July, 1819, expressed their conlldeot bore, that the
Ministers of the Church of Scotland, who eqs sow in pooe
