much gratified, as well as letters of apology from various gentle- 
men who were prevented from attending this meeting by profes-

Mr. Sinclair stated that a charter, beside conferring other 
benefits, would certainly place the profession on a more respect- 
able footing, and advised the Meeting to enter into a subscription 
to enable the Committee in England to pursue those steps which 
might be necessary for obtaining it. This was agreed to after 
some conversation, and it was resolved that, as a commencement, 
the subscription should be 10s. each. This was accordingly done 
by all present, except Messrs. Moore and Dunlop, who had pre-

subscribed for Mr. Donaldson, of Paisley. 
The Secretary was requested, in forwarding the amount of the 
subscriptions to Mr. Mayer, to intimate that, if there was any 
likelihood of success and a deficiency of funds, they would come 
forward with additional assistance. 
Mr. Anderson, Mr. Moore, and the Secretary were nominated 
a Committee to receive the subscriptions, and see to the forward- 
ing of the sum collected. 
The Secretary was also requested to inform the parties absent 
of what had been agreed to at this meeting, and that the money 
would not be forwarded for a fortnight from this date, in order to 
enable them to join in the subscription, if they thought fit. 
A vote of thanks was moved, and carried with great cordiality, 
to Mr. Mayer and the Committee in England for their arduous 
exertions in the cause; and after a vote of thanks to the Chair- 
man and Secretary, the Meeting adjourned. •

the improvement of their common profession, security from cer-
