iZ"u,ing it tbe liberal assistance of his example and of his energies up

The Committee have no hesitation in stating to the sub-
40,,uers their belief that the subscription will be soon considerably

1,0;?f the subject, the Committee :have to mention that,whilst in-
.P.4"11, they had the advantage of communicating with the Lord
144,.°e‘ato upon the proposed scheme ;—that his Lordship became
beri,V it subscriber, and that he obtained for the Institution the
114,it't of the royal patronage. It is hoped that such royal counts

CoMmittee have made it their endeavour to obtain the best
all to the site of -the proposed Institution. They have re-
tbe assistance of Dr. Malcolm, of Perth, a gentleman emi-
titrmin the treatment of the insane, and whose opinions were ma-
bduring an extensive continental tour amongst similar institu-
k Preparatory to the erection of Murray's Asylum, in the neigh-
% V2'od of Perth, with which he has been from its erection, and
the, intimately connected. He selected four sites as eligible—one
Property of Mr. Baillie, the proprietor of Culduthel ; another
4..lthat of Mr. Mackintosh, of Raigmore ; a third at the hut of
(17111, on the estate of lushes ; and a fourth on the lands of
.0f ti7e.tou, the property of Mr. Bernie, of Dochfour. With the first
t• e'le proprietors, Mr. Bane, of Culduthel, the Committee have
taut;',._fl communication; but the terms of feu demanded by him are
tilt t}mPracticable, and therefore the site upon his property adjoin-
Oat r;.e Quarry, and close to the marsh with the Raigmore lands, is
the question. The Committee have also communicated with
jal-gackintosh, but without any result—that gentleman requiring
from them the amount of feu that will be given, and the
AliZlttee naturally enough begging to be informed what is to be
oli;:n; and here the negotiation stands with Mr. Mackintosh. Of
t it will be the duty of the subscribers immediately to open
bck-ipUnication with Mr. Robertson, of Inshes, and Mr. 'Senile., of
that air, and thereafter to select from those equally eligible sites
Which may be obtained upon the most eligible terms.
• these circumstances of realised funds and anticipated increase,
11,ounty Committee have considered themselves required to delay
..7.llger the conunencement of the Institution. The necessity for
t,"cetion is every day forcing itself upon their attention. The num-
.143,?1 lunatics confined at the expense of the several parishes is every
Ilet, creasing, and the operation of the New Poor-law Bill must
414'41'4 add to the number. That Bill directs a course by which
ttifil quit parishes may be compelled to the humanity of providing
_.„p,nt accommodation for their lunatic pooraffords no
nit a,noo towards securing such accommodation. The more stringent
.on upon parishes, the more important to them should be

• This is obvious, and will undoubtedly force itself upon the
"Muting of all such burdened parishes.
ibm,,, Committee, impressed with these important considerations,
Oett their proceedings to the general subscribers, and suggest
Orß,,',,ithout any delay, the necessary steps should be taken for the
11'18,ation of the Asylum.
trt,,j3 cannot close the account of their proceedings without ex-
Nlint the obligation under which the Institution is placed to se-
p% gentlemen in the south connected with this part of the. country.
‘-'olll4cor, Mr. Leith, formerly inspector of the Caledonian Banking
PY, most efficiently assisted the canvass ; and in Lemon the
444 "eneflcial office was with equal liberality discharged by Mr.
"41e, American merchant, and by Mr. Macgregor, of Cheap-
;Adm.), „,
0 Mr. Young, of The Sun newspaper, the cause is eminently
ens en, for the liberality with which he uniformly admitted the
arY advertisements in a free and prominent access to the co-
W of his important journal.

EARLY A CCO UTNS!
The present year is very nearly ended,
And folks begin to count what they've expended.
Yes, ere another year its course commences,
It is a rule to calculate expenses.
Then don't omit, when making up accounts,
And noting down your several amounts,
To number in the year, before it closes,
The many savings you have made by MOSES.
Take pen in hand, and calculate aright,
And put your estimates in black and white ;
And doubtless you will find in this event
You've sav'd enough, to pay a quarter's rent.
Remember what you've sav'd in Spring attire,
And Summer dresses, too, which all admire ;
Remember, too, your garments for the Autumn,
And don't forget your savings when you bought 'em.
Remember what your Winter dresses cost,
And recollect the sums you would have lost.
Take all these various things into account,
And highly pleas'd you'll be with the amount ;
And you'll determine that, *hen this year closes,
You'll deal another year with Messrs. MOSES.
