MEETING AT TORONTO.

In compliance with the requisition of the inhabitants of
the City, the Mayor appointed yesterday, at three o'clock
P.M., for the meeting. The meeting was numerously at-
tended, and the resolutions submitted were carried unani-
mously. The Mayor was called to the Chair, and Dr.
Telfer appointed to act as Secretary.
The following are the resolutions put and carried :
Moved by Mr. Sheriff Jarvis, and seconded by John
Ewart, Esq.
Resolved Ist. That the inhabitants of Toronto retain a
lively and gratifying remembrance of the visit of the Itght
Hon. the Earl of Durham to the city, on the 18th of July
last, and of his courteous and satisfactory reply to the
address then presented to him ; and they now reiterate the
expressions of confidence in his Lordship's administration
contained in that address, and of satisfaction at his ap-
pointment as Governor-General of British North America.
Moved by the Hon. and Venerable Archdeacon Strachan,
seconded by James P. Smith, Esq.,
2d. That at the present crisis, any public circumstance
tending to destroy confidence in the stability and power of
the Government cannot fail to be productive of the most
disastrous results, encouraging faction and paralyzing the
industry and enterprise of the inhabitants of this country ;
and that impressed with this feeling, the present meeting
would regard any occu: rence which might have the effect of
inducing the Earl of Durham to retire from the Govern-
ment of British North America as a great public calamity.
Moved by Peter Buchanan, Esq., seconded by William
Stonnett, Esq.,
3d. That the peculiar and unprecedented difficulties in
which the affairs of Brdsh North America were involved
when the Earl of Durham assumed the Government ought
to have secured for the acts of his Lordship the most libe-
ral construction, and should have obtained for him the cor-
dial and unwavering support of all those who are interested
in the prosperity of these colonies, and the integrity of the
British empire. Arid the inhabitants of Toronto, there-
fore, have learned with great concern, as well as with
grounds of apprehension, the position which certain Noble
Lords in the British House of Peers have thought it neces-
sary to assume, in reLrence to Lord Durham's Adminis-
tration.

Moved by Dr. Baldwin, seconded by Mr. Alderman
Gurnett,
4th. That the inhabitant: of Toronto, deeply and imme-
diately interested in those measures which it is the object of
the Earl of Durham to mature, find themselves imperatively
called upon at this juncture to express publicly their confi-
dence in his Lordship, and again to tender to him their assu-
rances of an active and cord al support in whatever measures
he may advise or adopt, ha% i;:g for their object the benefit of
all classes of the community ; and this expression of their reli-
ance on the wisdom and integrity of his Lordship's adminis-
tration arises from a con% iction that his Lordship's mea-
sures will be directed to the maintenance of the just and
constitutional rights of liar Majesty's loyal subjects, in both
provinces ; they trust that his Lordship, undeterred by op-
position or misrepresentation on the part of those who are
unacquainted with the true interests of the country, will pro-
ceed to the accomplishment of the great object of his mission
—the tranquillisation of British North America, and the
advancement of her general prosperity.
Moved by Mr. Alderman Dixon, seconded by Thomas
Carfrae, Esq.,
sth. That an address founded on the foregoing resolutions
be prepared and submitted for signature, and that Messrs.
Sheriff Jarvis, Peter Buchanan, and James F. Smith be a
Committee to draft the address.
Moved by Alderman Gurnett, seconded by T. Barnes
Esq.,
6th. That five Committees of two persons each be ap-
pointed to obtain signatures to the address in the different
wards of this city.
