position.—(Cheers.) I am sure, new that it is over,
there is not one gentleman present who will
not feel that, however the requisition was
worded, the meeting to-night was meant
to convey a vote of censure, against them. It was with
that feeling, that I, and I believe the other gentle-
men also, attended. I have some right to speak on
the subject, for, from the beginning, I have carefully
watched the conduct of those gentlemen, and I have
witnessed their zealous and continued exertions in
the furtherance of the society. I believe that in that
voi of confidence which you have passed with such
singun2r unanimity you have done no more than a
bare act of justice—(Hear, hear)—and I rejoice that
a feeling of compassion, a feeling of sympathy with
the sufferings of others, has not blinded your sense
of justice for a moment. I rejoice that in this even-
ing's proceedings you have not done that which
would have weakened, if not destroyed, this esta-
blishment; and I trust this temporary interruption of
the harmony of our meeting may be a proof to those
who called it, and to those who are not present, that we
are resolved one and all to unite together in the further-
ance of one common object, and to allow nothing to
destroy that unanimity and that cordiality between
us which is essential to the success of this or any
other institution.—(Cheers.)
Mr. T. HANKEY, jun., having been loudly called
upon, also briefly expressed his acknowledgments to
the meeting for their vote of confidence, and inti-
mated that the publication of the proceedings of the
society, would be the best advertisement of the value
of the institution they had ever issued.
Mr. COLEMAN moved, and Mr. QUESTELL se-
conded, a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was
carried with acclamation.

The CHAIRMAN having acknowledged the compli-
ment, the meeting separated.
