(With power to add to their number.)

In consequence of the earnest wishes of a large portion
of the public that a testimonial should be presented to
Mr. Eyre, to mark their appreciation of the services he
has rendered to his country in saving from destruction a
great British colony ; and it being deemed unadvisable by
the Committee of the "Eyre Defence Fund " in any way
to interfere at present with the moneys at their disposal
(proceedings in the Court of Queen's Bench being still
pending), it has been determined to organise a special
testimonial fund. To afford an opportunity to all classes
to contribute to this testimonial, amounts from is. and up-
wards will be received. A short address will be drawn up
and placed in the hands of authorised persons for the col-
lection of signatures.
The London Committee being most desirous that Local
Committees should be formed throughout the country, in-
vite persons willing to form such committees to communi-
cate with the Honorary Secretary, who will at once for-
ward printed instructions and forms.
Ladies and Gentlemen of known position,
or other per-
sons furnishing references, will have collecting cards sent
them on application. Provincial Bankers aro invited to
apply for subscription books.
The first list of donations will shortly appear.
Subscriptions may be paid to any of the undermentioned
London Bankers :—Messrs. Coutts, Strand ; Messrs. Smith,
Payne, and Smith No. 1, Lombard-street; Messrs. Childs,
Temple-bar ; United Service Bank, 9, Waterloo-place,
