THE SUN, LON_DON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4. i8:):5_

clarel that there was a form and mode in which he ( Mr.
Salomons) might subscribe that declaration. He would ask
the Court whether that circumstance alone WAS not quite
sufficient to warrant it in agreeing to an adjournment for a
week ? At the conclusion of that period he should be pre.
pared to meet the Court, which would be with respect to
the question in precisely the same condition it was now in.
He had not said whether he could or could not sign the de-
claration ; and he now asked those he addressed in justice
and in mercy to allow him an opportunity of consulting his
distinguished legal advisers on a question which might have
many legal constructions ? If before the report of the Test
Acts a question of this kind had been put to some of the
members of that Court would they not hesitate, and require
time for consultation, and was it to be denied to him ? He
trusted that there was too high a sense of justice in that
Court to permit a hasty determination on a question so
deeply important.
The RECORDER, upon being called upon by the Court
for his opinion, whether the Court would be justified in
granting time, said that the question as to signing the de-
claration ought to be answered during the sitting of the
Court, unless a satisfactory ground could be shown for a
postponement. He did not think that an adjournment
would be illegal.
The COMMON SERGEANT expressed a similar opinion.
Mr. SALOMONS again forcibly appealed to the Court, and
begged that the question should be adjourned until Thurs-
day week.
Alderman FAREBROTIIER said that if the delay were re-
quired, in order that litigation might be resorted to, he
could not think of a delay of a moment. He wished to
know from Mr. Salomons whether any advantage would
be taken of a postponement to put the Court in such a
difficulty ?
Mr. SALOMONS replied that he had not the moat remote
idea of resorting to litigation.
Alderman TnomrsoN gave credit to Mr. Salomons for
his candour, but he would ask whether Mr. Salomons would,
if the adjournment was conceded, present himself on the
Thursday, and give his answer whether he would or would
not subscribe the declaration?

their appointed hours of sailing, in order to prevent the
racing which was consequent en competition ; they specified
under• what circumstances one vessel might be allowed to
pass another ; one of these regulations required bugles to
be used at night. This short statement would enable
.this
meeting to judge of what regulations would-effect. Those
for the navigation of the Clyde had been proposed from
time to time as the necessity for them was felt, and they
were, therefore, better adapted, probably, to effect their
object than any off-hand measures which could be propose:l
by Parliament. What was proposed was, that they should
wait on the Secretary of State for the Home Department,
and press on him to provide such regulations as would put
a stop to the existing evil.- It was only by the authority of
Government-that a measure could be brought forward with

.... _
the prospect of reconciling all the conflicting interests. No
one could imagine it possible that the owners of steam-
vessels meeting others, who had long possessed an interest
in the River, could agree with them as to what the regula-
tions should be. But if they went to the Government, the
probability was that a Select Committee would be appointed,
and the question would be deliberately determined.—(Hear,
hear.) This gentleman, in conclusion, moved the first

resolution.
Mr. W. J. HALL said that the principal question for all
persons to ask who were interested in the navigation of the
river was, what was the cause of the obstructions? Be-
cause, whatever regulations they made, unless the obstruc-
tions were removed, they never would get rid of the serious
accidents that so frequently occurred. He had long con;
sidered the subject, and was decidedly of opinion that the
only course that could
.be pursued successfully, to accom-
plish the object they had in view, was to remove the col-
liers into some place of public resort.—(Hear, hear.) Some
years ago an attempt was made by a Company to obtain a
Bill to erect docks for the colliers ; that measure was op-
posed, particularly by the coal-owners.— (Hear, hear.)
Their wish was to send a certain quantity of coal into the
port of London, in order thereby the better to regulate the
price to their own advantage. He should like to know why
the port of London should be the grand receptacle for
coals ? Why should that be the great storehouse for that
property, any more than Cheapside for any other property ?
Five, or six, or seven hundred colliers arrived sometimes in
the river in a week ; in addition there were the lighters.
When this was considered, and when they bore •in mind,
also, how much the -coal trade had increased of late years,
that there should be-obstructions and accidents must be
expected. In his opinion, it would be better to appoint a
Committee to confer on the subject with the various parties
interested, and to draw up some resolutions, after which a
public meeting should be called to discuss them:—(Hear.)
Mr. SMITH said he could suggest a plan by which it
was unnecessary to send the colliers into the port of Lon-
don at all ; and this gentle Man exhibited a diagram, from
which it appeared that there is a dock at Deptford capable
of containing 200 ships, besides the necessary number of
barges. The barges would then not have to go a greater
distance than they had at present.
A GENTLEMAN, whose name we could not learn, referred
to some cases to prove that the accidents had not been the
result of the crowded state of the Pool. If they took the
ships from' the river, they would have it fill up, and be-
come unnavigable.
Mr. CRUDEN objected to-their discussing details. He,
for one, was most ready to give his sanction to the resolu-
tions. He thought it essential for them to show that
steam-vessels were not the nuisances they had been
described ; that they were not the only sinners ; that, in
short, they were more sinned against than sinning.—
(Hear, hear.) As humane men, they' were bound to in-
terfere ; and as a class of practical men, he thought that
their suggestions would probably have great weight at-
tached to them.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that before
they parted this day they would carry the resolutions, and
thus lay the foundation for a future measure. They could
not have done better than come forward as they did, and
take the front ground.
Mr. CRICHTON said, if they appointed a committee, and
consulted other interests, they would impair their strength.
The committee would go to the Corporation, who had par--
ticular views on the subject of the Thames navigation : the
coal-owners wished to remove the steam-packets, and the
steam-packets the coal-owners.
Mr. HALL said that there were the East India Docks,
for East India vessels ; the West India Docks, for the West
India vessels ; the London Docks for vessels of another
description ; the St. Katherine's Dock, for smaller craft,
but large vessels were found there ; and the Timber Docks,
for timber. There had been a considerable increase in the
coal-trade ; why then should not that trade be removed, and
have its dock ?—(Hear, hear.)
A GENTLEMAN said, that he believed next year would
lay before.the public three distinct proposals for Coal Docks.
Another GENTLEMAN said there would be no further ac-
cidents, if the proprietors of the steam-vessels would adopt
the new paddle-wheels, which avoided the back water.
It having- been suggested that it would be better not to
express in the resolutions a decided opinion to the effect
that 300 feet would be required as passage-room,
Mr. TICKNER said he was Chairman of the Committee
of the Port of London, appointed by the Corporation to in-
quire into the navigation. A great proportion of the evi-
dence offered was decidedly in favour of the passage not
being less than one hundred yards. Persons, however,
came into the Committee subsequently to the investigation
who took a rather different view ; and the question was,
whether the free passage should be 250 feet or 300. His
opinion was decidedly in favour of the 300, which was the
distance prescribed by an old law. He attached great im-
portance to this resolution.
A conversation then arose as to that part of the resolution
which referred to an improvement being made in the capa-
city of the boats ; when one Gentleman said that eight peo-
ple were allowed in a wherry, and only fOur in a skiff, which
was a safe boat, while the, wherry was not. In reply, it was
said to be impossible to make bead with a heavy boat against
a rough tide.
A third Gentleman said he had employed a poor man,
named Hawkins,- to-make a safe boat, but the Waterman's
Company refused to license it. The poor man, though he
had been once fined, continued, in defiance of the Water-
man's Company, to use his safe boat; and he gloried in it.
Mr. CRUDEN said, that in the second year of Philip and
Mary an Act was passed, allowing a boat to be used of the
exact description of the wherry of the present day. That
kind of boat must have been in use since the time he had
mentioned. He put it to the meeting whether it was not
likely that the number of vessels in the Pool was more now
than it was then.—( Hear, hear.)
All the resolutions having been agreed to, the Committee
was appointed, and. it was arranged that they should hold
eir first meeting on Tuesday next.

Mr. SALOMONS said that he should take care that if the
Court granted him time it should not be damaged by the
concession.

Alderman BROWN—And at that timeiyou will either sign
or refuse to sign?
Mr. SALOMONS—I cannot say that : but I shall be here
exactly as I am to-day. If you are not satisfied with the
course I pursue you can proceed to act.
Alderman BaowN said that as Mr. Salomons declined the
proposition the Court had but one course to pursue. The
question was one, not of law but of conscience, to Mr.
Salomons ; and that gentleman must be prepared as well
at the present moment as after a consultation with the
lawyers.
Alderman Am-11,1s said that the objection to sign was in
effect a refusal, and the Court must proceed.
Alderman THOMPSON said that as Mr. Salomons would
not pledge himself either to sign or to refuse to sign the
declaration, in the event of a postponement, he had no al-
ternative but to support Alderman Brown's motion.
The opinion of Alderman Thompson was generally as-
sented to in the Court, and it was decided by a show of
hands that the declaration should be banded to the newly-
elected Alderman.

The Town Clerk accordingly laid it before Mr. Salomons.
Mr. SALOMONS rose and protested in the strongest man-
ner against the proceeding of the members of the Court,
who had he said, kindness and courtesy on their lips, but
were influenced by very different feelings. He little ex-
pected that those who came forward against him with five
or six legal opinions would refuse to permit him at such a
juncture to avail himself of the advice of those whose opi-
nions were valuable.
The Loan MAvon—l am bound to ask you, Mr. Salo-
mons, whether you will subscribe the declaration ?
Mr. SALOMONS again requested a few days for deli-
beration.
The Town Clerk again offered the declaration to Mr.
Salomons.
Mr. SALOMONS—I came here to take the oaths of office,
according to the Act of Common Council, and I am ready
to take upon me the office.
The TOWN CLERK—You must subscribe the declaration.
Mr. SALoMoNS (turning away)—Mind, I do not object
to sign the declaration. -
The RECORDER, on being called upon by the Lord
Mayor, said that if the declaration was not subscribed, the
election must be declared void.

Again the declaration was offered in vain.
Alderman BROWN—I move that Mr. Salomons having
omitted, neglected, and in fact refused to sign the declara-
tion of the 9th of George IV., cap. 17, the election be de-
clared void thereby.

Alderman T. WOOD seconded the motion.
Mr. SALOMONS again appealed to the justice of the
Court.

The motion was carried by a large majority.
Alderman BROWN next moved that the Lord Mayor be
requested to issue a precept for a new election in the Ward
of Aldgake.
This motion was also carried by a large majority.
The Court was crowded during the day, and the curiosity
excited was intense.

DISTRESS OF THE IRISH CLERGY

(Concluded from The Sun of yesterday.)
The Bishop of LONDON proposed the first resolution
" That the continuance and increase of the distress of the
Irish Clergy is such as to deserve the best sympathy on
the part of all the friends of the Established Church in
Ireland, and to require the most active exertions for their
immediate and effectual relief." It was not his intention
to trouble the meeting at any great length. This meet-
ing, lie begged to say, had not been called for the purpose
of exciting sympathy on behalf of the Irish Clergy, but it
was in consequence of the sympathy which their situation
bad already produced that the meetirig had been convened.
That sympathy had glowed in every bosom that had heard
of their distress, for who could witness a body of deserving
and well-educated men suffering unmerited misfortune
without feeling a sympathy for them ? The feeling was a
natural one, for who could see real misery without stretch-
ing out a hand to rescue the party who suffered it, espe-
cially when they knew that it arose from no fault of their
own ? The public knew-that the Irish Clergy were suffer-
ing for the cause of truth, and therefore they sympathised
with them. He intended to abide strictly by the rule of
proceeding which their Most Rev. President had laid down
as to the limits of discussion ;' nor would he allow the
unhappy state of the political affairs which distracted
that country to induce him to infringe that rule. He
knew, however, that the hearts of the British public bled
for the suffer;ngs of the Irish Clergy, because they saw that
the cause of Protestantism suffered in their persons.—
It was not simply a question of whether they ought to sym-
pathise in'the sufferings and calamities' of a body of men
who were- precluded by their profesSion from obtaining an
existence in a different pursuit, like the other classes of so-
cietys-Tthat was not the occasion of the sympathy enters
tained for them, but it was becau-se the Protestant public
felt the necessity of coming forward, and evincing in this
way their firm determination to uphold the Protestant re-
ligion in these realms. This was the question which they
were called upon to decide. The Protestant people of
England were bound to do all in their poWer to prevent
the Protestant religion " from being starved out of Ire-
land," for that in truth was the question at issue—that
was the intention and policy of those who withheld their
just dues from the Irish -Clergy.—(Hear, hear.) He,as-
sorted that this was the policy of the Roman Catholics of
Ireland, and he said so • because such a policy had been
avowed, not by 'an unauthorised organ of that party, but
through accredited channels—by men' who declared that
they would drive Protestantism from its strong-hold. It
was, he freely admitted, the stronghold •of truth ; and, so
far as the Protestants of England were concerned, they
never would allow the zealous, laborious, and Evangelical
Minister's of the cause of truth, for so he must call Protes-
tantism, to be driven out of Ireland by the species of blockade
and starvation by which they had been assailed. As Mi;.
nisters of the Gospel they would not be discharging_ their
duty if they did not make that avowal ; but beyond this
observation he would not trench upon the line which
their President laid down for the guidance of the meet-
ing. It was now rather more than two years since that;

in consequence of the reports of the sufferings of the Irish eulogium on their Most Reverend and Venerible- Cha r-
'Clergy which had reached this country, a meeting was held man, moved a rase of ti.ars to his Graca tl.e Arclabistop
for the purpose of devising means of affording theirs relief. of Cant2rbul y.
A subscription was then set on foot, under the auspices of The motion was seconded by Mr. Twining,' and can:ed
their Most Reverend President, and that subscription with every demonstration of the most profound-respect.
amounted to somewhere about 50,0001. The whole sum His Grace returned thanks, and the meeting separated.
had been remitted to the Archbishop of Armagh from time
to time, as his Grace called for it ; and be was satisfied that
the report of the Committee woull prove that it had been
judiciously disbursed. The distress or the Irish Clergy,
however, had now become more formidable than ever , and
although large sums were due to them they had received
little or no part of their incomes. He adverted to this be-
cause it had been said that they had large incomes. It was
true that such was nominally the Case, but three years had
now elapsed since they had been unable to enforce their
rights ; and the consequence was that they were no
longer able to perform those works of charity and Chris-
tian love in which they had previously expended no incon-
siderable portion of their means. Their whole receipts
had been most cruelly swept away from them ; and it
was not merely the incumbents but the Curates who
suffered by this injustice. Things had come to such a
pass that the incumbents would be obliged to dismiss
their Curates ; and if they did not do so under present
circumstances their forbearance was so much the more
praiseworthy. Many of the Clergy had been compelled
to _ send their wives and families for maintenance to
their friends and relations ; and in one case a Clergyman
had been under the necessity of sending his wife and five
children to a remote part of the country, being so reduced
as to be wholly unable to obtain even as much as would
defray his own personal expenses. This, however, could
not go on always. In numerous instances they had been
forced to take their children from school, and in some they
were without the means of purchasing shoes for them.
Where the children were able to work they were glad to
get employment, even as labourers; and in a great number
of cases the Clergyman and his family had no better means
of subsistence than that of the lowest of the peasantry.
That he was not exaggerating or Over-colouring the picture,
a letter which had been received by their Most Rev. Pre-
sident, and which did honour to the writer, would prove :

" My Lord Archbishop--In transmitting to your Grace
some account of the present condition of the Clergy in the
above-named dioceses I am aware that I can add little variety
to the sad features already laid before our sympathising friends;
nor can I hope to do more, within my moderate compass, than
notice in general terms the state of privation, mental anxiety,
and, in many cases, extreme destitution, to which the incum-
bents, in number from 110 to 120, have long been, and still
are, subjected, through the violent and systematic opposition
which have been given to the collection of their income.

" In addition to these present privations, distress has driven
many to cut off the sources of future support by suffering in-
surances on their lives to drop, through Inability to pay the
annual premium. Children of every age have been with-
drawn from the course of education which was to fit them for
their several stations and pursuits in life, and the conviction
how frequently an interruption of this kind proves fatal to the
fairest prospects has added much bitterness to the cup of the
already afflicted parents. •
" I myself know two dignitaries nominally possessing ample
revenues, but really reduced to the greatest distress. I know
two brothers of Noblemen, one of whom has his benefice at this
moment under sequestration for debt ; and the other, at an
advanced age, has given up one by one almost every comfort
of life, and has the sorrow of beholding his children's progress
and prospects interrupted.
" I know a Rector whose only cow, affording to his large
family their chief support, was lately put into the pound by the
collector of county rates, and detained there a considerable
time, till released by the kindness of a friend, though at the
same time that collector owed him more , than the amount of
his debt, but as it was for tithes he would not allow him one
farthing of it.
" I kow another who has recently been sued for a debt due
for a high rent by a gentleman who, at the very time, owed
him more than three times the amount for tithes, but refused

to pay him one shilling. I know another instance precisely
similar. Two days ago a gentleman wrote thus to me I
beg gratefully to acknowledge the very seasonable and much-
wanting assistance (i. e., received through his Grace the Pri-
mate.) l' have been thirty-three years a humble Minister in
God's Church, constantly resident - I have been obliged to
sell my furniture and stock to pay debts and obtain a tempo-
rary supply of the necessaries of life, reserving merely
that portion required for a bed-room and sitting-room. I have
been obliged to permit my wife, who became so alarmed at the
state of the country and threatening dangers, that she was
losing her health, to leave Ireland. I have found it necessary
to send out six or seven of my children, one being too young,
as tutors and governesses, thankful to find board and lodging
for them. I have been necessitated to take my son's name off
the College books, being unable to pay his bills. lam bur-
thened with debt, and unable to pay my creditors—debts in-
curred for the necessaries of life, and due before total inability
to pay became apparent. When called from home, or to visit
or catechise in my parish, I feel it quite necessary for my per-
sonal safety to carry arms. My glebe house is closed up, as
if in a state of siege. At night it is necessary to have bolts,
bars, and bullet-proof planks to the windows and doors. Here
is discomfort and suffering. I may write, that I have suffered
the loss of all things. My life, through the sparing mercy of
God, remains ; though that life has been several times
threatened, and, previously to our last persecutions, was at-
tempted to be taken, a bullet having been fired at me on any
glebe land. My difficulties have been a good deal increased
by great exertions made to prepare my children for active use
ful life, educating them so that they might earn their bread
and serve their fellow-creatures.'

SPANISH MERCHANTS IN LONDON.

• We have been favoured with a sight of a copy of the
unassuming letter, in which the Committee for receiving
private subscriptions in testimony of respect to the Queen
of Spain, and to the cause with which her name was identi-
fied, communicate to the President of the Council in Madrid
the fact of the subscription and its resuLs. The following
is a translation : _ _

" EXCELLENT Sra,—Several Spaniards resident in this
city having met for the purpose of making a public manifes-
tation of their concurrence in the patriotic spirit which now
animates every portion of the nation which gave them birth, _
they determined to open a subscription, the product of which
should be incorporated with that which is in a course sof
being raised generally throughout Spain, in order to con-
tribute to the equipment of the new levy of troops now
organizing in defence of the national representative system,
and
of the throne of Isabel 11.
" In order to its collection, a Cc)nmittco was named,-
composed of the undersigned, who have the honour to ad-
dress your Excellency, and to whom instructions were
given to invite all Spaniards resident within the United
Kingdom to join in the subscription, and to admit to it all
foreigners who should spontaneously desire it.
The CoMmittee have now the satisfaction-to transmit
to your Excellency the subscription-lists without prejudice
to their making those additions to it which occasion may
hereafter require, and to place at your disposal the amount
of them, which, if it be indeed not large, receives neverthe-
less some measure of consideration from the circumstances
of the number of national subscribers being very limited,
the Spaniards who at present reside in this country being
few, and the means oZ the generality of them being not corn- ,
mensurate with their generous disinterestedness Your Ex-
cellency will see in this list the names of the few Spanish
merchants established in this kingdom, and those of the me-
ritorious patriots who form the remains of an honourable
band of emigrants still existing here. As to the list of
foreigners, the Committee, having confined themselves within
their instructions, gave it no publicity, for which reason there
only appear in it a few of the personal friends of the indivi-
duals composing the Committee, who requested the inser-
tion of their names.

" Such as it is, this subscription entirely fulfils its essen-
tial purpose, that of manifesting the conformity of political
principles, which unites all Spaniards, whatever be the
country in which chance may have placed them, and their
approbation of the course which, in order to consolidate
those principles, has been hitherto pursued by the Govern-
ment, which, at the present day, happily possesses the con-
fidence of her Majesty the Queen Regent, and of the Spa-
nish people.
" God preserve your Excellency many years.
" PEDRO JUAN DE ZULVETA.
" CRISTOBAL DE MURRTETA.
_ 7 " ANTONIO DE RAMONY CAREONELL.
• " London, Nov. 21, 1835.
6' His Excellency the President of the
Council of Ministers, &c., Madrid." _ _

The total of the Spanish list is 2,250/. ; that of the Eng-

lish list is 880/. ; in the former are, the following names,
among others ; A. de Arroyabe. 2001. ; A. F. Gamboa,
100/. ; S. G. Martinez, 2001. ; C. de Murrieta, 300/. ; J. de
Murrieta, 10Q/. ; P. de la Quintana, 200/. ; A. do Ramo-
ney Carbonell, 2001. ; F. de Tastet, 2001. ; P. J. de Zu-
lueta, 3001.

He was sure that the statement contained in this letter
would convince them of the nature of the distress under
which the Irish Clergy laboured, and all he hoped was that
it would. lead Protestants to understand clearly why they
preferred the religion handed down to them by the reform-
ers of their Church to all others.—(Hear.)—He should
now read a few 'extracts from a letter received from the
Archbishop of Tuam, who expressed, in the warmest terms,
the gratitude which he felt for the aid afforded to the suf-
fering Clergy of Ireland by the London Committee, and
stated that -the funds remitted by them had been distribu-
ted to his entire satisfaction. This letter was dated
the 2d of July, 1835. The tithe property of the
Clergy," said his Grace, " is in most part withheld
from them, and their wants can easily be conceived ; and I
cannot but remind your Grace of their great patience and
forbearance under their painful privation,. - Where all are
great suffertrs, it is not easy to make a selection of cases
standing in need of relief ; but I have a clergyman so re-
duced that his son has been obliged to plant his potatoes—
the almost exclusive and invariable food of his family—a fa-
mily of 11 in number. Another Clergyman informs me that
he cannot well describe the sufferings of his family, a wife and
5 children, for the last two years, on account of his tithe pro-
perty being withheld. He has not had more than 2 quar-
ters of mutton used in his house during that time, and the
only food. for his family has been occasionally bacon, her-
rings, and-such like. The rain penetrates several parts of
his house, and he cannot procure straw to thatch it. His
children could not attend church regularly the whole of the
winter for want of shoes.' Much more does this gentleman
say, but it is needless to trouble your Grace further upon
his case. I have many unpaid Curates of .course in great
want from total inability in their Rectors to pay them, and
many others have received notice from- their employers that
they must not look to them for remuneration for the future,
for they have neither private nor professional means with
which to pay them. I have Clergymen who have insured
their lives in order to create provision for their families ; in
the payment of the annual premium (except for very extra-
ordinary efforts of friends) they must have failed. In
short, I scarcely know a Clergyman in my four dioceses that
-is not reduced to-much distress. No doubt, comparatively,
some are less so than others." Their Most Rev. Presi-
dent had stated that the subscription now to be set on foot
would be applied, as the former . contributions had been,
solely for the relief of the Irish Clergy who were in dis-
tress, and in no other way. Of the sum of 50,000/. which
was collected on the former occasion, he could assure them
not one shilling had been paid foe law expenses ; but he
was, at the sane time, one of those who .thought that they
ought to enable the Irish Clergy by some such means to
enforce their just claims.—(Hear, hear.) It might not,
perhaps, be expedient to mix- up the two questions. It
was the duty of the Protestant Clergy of this country
to hold out the hand of brotherly affection on such an

occasion.
Lord RADSTOCK briefly seconded the resolution.
The resolution was then , carried unanimously.
Sir, ROBERT INGLIS proposed the second resolution.
The time had come when the law must be vindicated,
and- for his' part he never would consent to see the rights
of the Church of Ireland, which were undividable with
those of the :Church of this country, sacrificed.—(Loud
cheers.) . hie could tell the .enemies of the Established
Church that they never should succeed in starving Pro-
testantism. out of Ireland. The attack against the Irish
Clergy was directed, to the overthrow of the Protestant reli-
gion altogether, and he could_ tell the people of England
that if any sect of Protestant Dissenters in this country
were to gain ascendancy. in Ireland, the hatred which the
Roman Catholics had to the Established religion would
speedily, be transferred to them.—( Hear, hear, hear.)
Roman Catholics hated the people of England, because
they had an Established religion—because they were Saxons
—and, finally, because they were Protestants.—(Cheers.)
• Colonel CLITHEROE ,seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously,
The Rev. H. i.T.ELvILLE moved the third resolution.
Dr. NICHOLAS seconded this resolution, which was also
carried unanimously.
Mr. MACLEAN, M. P., moved the 4th resolution; for ap-
pointing a Committee' of Management, and it having been
seconded by the Bishop of Jamaica, it was carried unani-

_
mously.
The SECRETARY announced that up to that hour a sum
amounting to between 11,0001. and 12,0001. had been re-
eeived.--(preat cheering.)
Mr. justice PARKE, alter pronouuciug a well-deserved
