"The consequence of the wishes thus strongly expressed
" was the commencement of a Subscription for the pur-
" pose stated; .'
. ' _

•` It was, however, soon found, that although the public
feeling had been very decidedly and generally shewn in
" favour of it, the Subscription was likely materially to
stiffer from the want of some persons who could under-
" take the management, and promiste the necessary bui,i-
-" nen connected with it. This led to the formation of
the Sub-Committee, consisting of the following indi
'" duals :
V; 3. Littleton, Esq. M.P.
Lord Howard de Walden
Hon. G. A. Ellis, M.P.

E. J. Denison, Esq. 31.1'.
J. Boathouse, Esq. M.P.
John Hope, Esq. M.P., So-
licitor-General for Scot-
land, Edinburgh

Earl Gower
Lord Morpeth, M.P.

Hon. W. S. Ponsouby, M.P.
S. Rice, Esq. M.P.
A. paring, Esq. M.P.
J. Plants, Esq. M.P.
" The Sub-Committee have, however, thought it tight,
4, until the present Meeting of the Subscribers, to confine
4, their labours within as narrow a compass as possible—
" and only to perform those acts, which if left wiper-
.' formed would evidently and certainly have prejudiced
" the Subscription.
.4 With these views. the Sub-Committee have been
almost exclusively employed in communications with
" Bankers to facilitate the receipt and ensure the safe
custody of Subscriptions ; in the answering of friendly
offers of assistance ; and in the insertion of the necessary-
" advertisements in Newspapers, and the printing and dis-
" seminating the Circular. as widely as possible.
" The Sub-Committee have much gratification in an-
" nouncing, that the Subscription, notwithstanding the
" little they have been able to do to forward it, is in a
" very prosperous state; the last return of it amounts
" to 9,560/. 14s. 6d.
" It remains with the Meeting to decide upon the future
" course of proceedings which they may think proper to
" adopt. If the Sub-Committee might venture to offer a
suggestion it would be that a permanent Committee
" should be formed, to whom might be entrusted the
" future management and application of the Subscription."
On the motion of the Duke of Somerset, seconded by H.
Gtliy Knight, Esq.,
It was resolved unanimously,
That a Committee be appointed to superintend the con-
duct and application of the Subscription for a Monument
to the memory of Mr. Canning.
