over $1,000 and were fully sufficient to

Joint Stock Auxiliary scheme was in: d:
sugursted, and some $4,000 in sub:
scription raised. 1t IS proposed. TO-
raise some 100000, and thus place
the Society upon q permanent and SUBJ
stantisl basis. Col. Aiken, We sec, has

wopted spirit, and with q liberality
commensurate with the importance of
tho enterprise. .e, ..sras ....-. r
