NATIONAL MONUMENT.

Yesterthv a. Meeting of Noble.men and Gen-
tlemen was held at the British Hotel, Cock spur-
street, with a view to the erection of a National
Monument, in the Metropolis of Scotland, to
commemorate the achie,ements of Scottish valour
in the laic navA and military war.
The idea of erecrint: this monument originated
first wi;h the Members of the Highlend Society,
and they applied to Government some time hack
with a view, to procure, for this purpose, a part
of the grant then about to be matte by l'arliament
for the erection of a Monument in London. The
application, communica, ed to Government through
his Grace the Duke of Bucclengh, not suc-
ceed, as the grant was to be confined to the
Mctropolii.

The Committee of the Highland Society being
disappointed in this view, a -Alveting was called
at Edinburgh on the 24th of February last, for
the same laudable pori,,,se, and subscriptions ob-
tained to the amount of 6,2151. The Meeting
held Yesterday was dkected to the game end.
His Grace the Duke of ATnot. being called to
the Ch:iir, a siring of Resolutions was agreed to,
nearly the same in substance as those resolved
upon at the Edinburgh Meeting in February,
namely, that the late victories, in Which the va-
lour of Scotelituen was so conspicuously display-
ed, should he commemorated in the Metropnlis
Scotland, by an appropriate Memorial ; that for
this purpose a monumental edifice shonid be erect-
ed, comprehending, if the funds admitted of it,
a Church, destined to the purpose of Divine Wor-
ship; that the services of the Army in India should
be commemorated in the proposed monument ;
that a subscription should be opened for the above
purpose, and ail subscriptions not less than I/. Is.
received ; and that a Committee should be ap-
pointed to forward the objects of the Meeting.
These Resolutions being agreed to, thanks were
voted to his Grace the Duke (tf Athol, for the
zeal with which he supported and forwarded every
thing connected with the interest or honour of
Scotland.

The Meeting was not very numerous, but in the
highest degree respectable. Among the persons
present were, the Earl of Roseberry, Mr. W.
Dirndl's, Lord Bannatyne, Sir John Sinclair, Mr.
Finley, &c. &c.
The Resolutions are to be transmitted to India,
where a large subscription is expected.
The Sectetary, Mr. Linning, after n very neat
and appropriate speech, informed the Meeting,
that he had received from the Marquess of Mint.
ly, the Earl of Montrose, and Mr. C. Forbes, a
subscription of 1001. each.

Yesterday at halt-past two o'clock, the PER-
SIAN AMBASSADOR, accompanied by Sir GORE
OUSLEY, and Mr.Wit.Locr.,his Secretary, mount-
ed upon three of the Persian horses, took a ride
