DODor, to the chair. when ii was moved. by Mr. iIsNrsrEAp, that com rniilee of three should he appointed to dratt resolutions to be reported at the next meet ing.
 Messss. RoaxE, HEarsrEAp, and 'TRAP- NALL, were appointed.
 On motion af Rev. Mr STEVENSON, a committee of correspondence, who should also act as Treasurers, to receive money and subscriptions in aid of the purposes of the meeting, was appointed.
 They are Messrs. 4 E. THoRsTes and D. J. BALDWIN, to whom arr citizens may make any contributions prior to the lime of the next meeting, f they gre unable 10 attend.
 As t was understood thlt large number of persons, and especially ladies. were pre- vented from attending, on accouh, of bad weather, it was deemed advisable that the meeting should adjourn to some other time; when. upon motion of Judge RoANE.
 THURSDAY ETE.NTSG. NEXT. was agreed upon for assembling in the cause of the suffering.
 It is matter of some remark tina. reiiher this meeting, nor the proposed adjournment. has received the slightest notice in the col umas of the Gazette. Surely, when every village aud city are sending contributions, as . matter of pride, if not ofleeIing, regshould afford every facility for increasing the amount the citizens of Litile Rock are willing to be- stow.

WEsrMiNIsrER REVIEW. We have received the January No. of this handsome reprint, and, having perused some parts of il, take great pleasure in recommending il to our friends and patrons, as work worthy of their support, and more than worth its sub scription price. Just here we would also call the attention of all, who have dietary taste, to the advertisement, in another column of our paper, of Messrs. LEONARD Scorr & Co.,, No ll2 Fulton street, New York.
 We regard the "WEsrMlxlsrER" as the best of all reprints published in this coun- try; and, being the organ for an ''expression of honest convictions, independent of party,n it discusses. freely and iearlessiy. all the great principles of government l, has lately been united with the Foreign QuarterIy,n a work Of much merit, and the lover of elegant reading may now enjoy the luxuries of the combination, for the low price of S3 per aa- nnm.

MAJ. BoRLAND.-In letter. dated Saitilio, Mex. leo, 18th Jan, isl7. and written by Maj. Borsnd to gentleman in this city. he states that rumors of the approach of the enemy had, for days, been rife; that Gen. Wool had promised him the com mand of detachment of loo men, to reconnoter on the San Luis road, and that he would leave Sal tiilo in two days, and remain absent until be ascer- lained the facts regarding the rumors.
 These facts. taken in connection with Captain Chapman's letter, and other items of intelligence on the subject induce us to put full faith in the re- ported capture of Maj. Borland: but we are not prepared to believe that surrender was made by such officers and troops, without shot or blow, as has been stated in every account of the proceeding In another column will be found all the information relative to the rumor, from whi,h our readers can judge for themselves.
