io4r. IvniEr said the question before the meeting was,
(ilw Were they to get out of their present diffie.ulties ?-
6,e,ar.) The only way to overcome it was for the Asso-
cc-o'n to pledge itself, in the first place, to help the
Mmittee out of the 2001. debt ; and then came the
question
solv as to whether the Association should be dis-
thoY,, or not. It was hard that all the responsibility
hi. um rest on the shoulders of the Trustees and Manag-
ti,! Committee only. He would move that the Associa-
-1,_•4 agree to indemnify the Managing Committee

Much cheering.
lo.thr• NrEwnßarir felt great pleasure in moving, " That
ksei e opinion of the meeting the dissolution of the As-
hor4tt°n would deeply affect the cause of Reform in the

DECORATIONS OF THE HALL.

The decorations of the hall were most superb, and re-
flected great credit upon the gentleman by whom they
were arranged and put up. Three tables were placed the
whole length of the hall, besides a table extending cross-
wise, a little raised above the others, at which was seated
the guest of the evening. At the rear of the seat of
Lord Morpeth, was placed the coronet of his Lordship in
velvet and gold, and at the back of this a full length
picturc of her Majesty Queen Victoria, from the gallery
of Mr. Thorburn. On the right was a colossal head of
the Apollo Belvidere, and on the left a colossal head of
Diana. At the extremities right and left of the upper
end of the hall were various emblematical design's of St.
George and the Dragon.
In the centre of the room on the right, was a splendid
sideboard in the form of a pyramid. On either side were
arranged beautiful arbours of evergreen, in which were
exquisite figures of Paris and Psyche. In the centre,
beautiful figures of the crouching Venus, and on the
right and left of this two columns surmounted by figures
of Venus in the Bath, and. Cupid—the whole interspersed,
with superb vases of flowers and other devices. 'rho
background was of fine white linen, relieved by beautiful
festoons of flowers and mirrors, the whole surmounted by
. .

the royal arms of England splendidly emblazoned.
Opposite to this was a balcony in which the orchestra
was placed, on the top of which was a fine transparency
with the words "Princess Royal," surmounted by the
Royal coronet.
At the fbot of the hall was a transparency represent-
ing Howard House, the Castle of Lord Morpeth in York-
shire. On the top of the transparency were busts of
Chief Justice Marshall, Boerhave, and Sir Walter Scott.
On the right of this were Lord Morpeth's Coat of Arms,
with the family insignia, Kilo non Valeo. On the left, the
British Coat of Arms.

On each side of the President's seat were two splendidly
carved dragons of burnished gold, forming brackets, on
which were placed miniature figures of the- Apollo Belvi-
dere and of Diana.
