the reception of the report above-mentioned, the fol-
, lowing resolution :
" That the further consideration of this report, so far
as it relates to the election of the committee of almoners,
be adjourned, and that it be referred to a select com-
mittee to inquire and report whether any, and if any,
what changes are desirable in the constitution, powers,
and duties of the committee of almoners."

Mr. BAGGALLY, jun., begged to second the proposition
of Mr. R. Gurney.

After some discussion, the treasurer having put the
amendment, it was carried by a large majority.

from the committee of almoners, and four from the dona-

tion governors.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the sth, in the

vessels of war in sight of Ledsund.
" Some detachments of the Russian fleet anchored
at Sweaborg have made cruises without having met
with any of the enemy's vessels. On the 10th No-

the transport Volga in tow, arrived at Sweaborg
