The report was carried by acclamation .

      Air . Campbell , of Parfcicfe , wished to suggest something in relation to the getting up of these entertainments for so laudable a purpose . 'Hie Radicals of Partick , whom he represented , had uplifted £ S for this and similar purposes by such an er . ieitainnienii ; aud he wished to knoir who was the proper person to receive that and other monies derived from n liko source ^ This was the more important to other associations wlio jnigiit feel inclined to follow in tho wake of Partick , especially as the aadientse generally expreised themselves in such a manner as showed that they wcro willing to have paid twice the sum for admission that had been charged , seeing that the entertainments were of so high a character . Mr . C . particularly alluded to the successful efforts of a popular glee party ; to Mr . A . Dunn , who ranis deservedly high aa a comic singer ; and to Messri Fauldy and Grindlay , who were enthusiasti cally received .

      The TVoodside Instrumental Band , who handsomely volunteered their , services , were likewise loudly cheered at being mentioned .-After some ; desultory conver'jition as to the inquiry of Mr .-Campbell , it was resolved to defer the appointment of the Treasurer for this fund until the general monthly meeting . ¦ The Secretary was then instructed to open a correapondence witii several talented individnals , for the purpose-of securing their n .-sistarico at the proposed meeting to address the Queen in favour of a mitigation- of punishment of fce convicted Chartists . . The Treasurer ' s report of Bums in aid of ihe funds was received with loud cheers .

These principles ; and rules , having been put to the meeting uiiuer a series of sensible reiiiarks by . Mr . PurUie they were then put to canvass . ; . ^ Mr . Cumiriihg agi'ced -with all hiit the 7 th liegulation , and which- ho was determined to oppose , although he trusted that the Ibrthconiiug candidiites would chcerfUMy subscribe to tho suggestions of the assuci ' iitiou . :

      Mr . Pt'ttatp ; replied and iiefended the rules- especially tho one to wiiicli ivlr . Cumininghad taken oxception . ^ Ho . winted in the spirit of that article , luianiuiity , and would maintain that the man who was the advocate of . agitation , was the arch enemy pf liis country ^ Tho Whigs were agitators upoha tfreat scale , when the bubbles of Reform , were being blown upon the senses ; of the country . It wis all well enough to talk of patriotism , after a certain fashion , but he woujhlheincimed to take the man for his represehtative , who would give the largest balance-sheet . Suppose a Whig said" Oh , I'll give you the Corn Law repeal and the Penny Postage , and Negro Emancipation / ' and a Tpr ^ to say " Why . I'll do better still—ill reduce a standing iiriiiy—I'll abolish flogging in that and in the navy—I'll rariso or abrogate the Pension Lijft , "—these were all finepromises , but he cared not—whoever performed mest was the man fpr him . ( Cheers . )

      Mr . CUMMj . vG did not mean to defend the Whigs . ( Heiir . ) A Whig was a . .. . . ; ^ ! :. Indeed he would npt say what a Whig was . ( Loud laughter ^) AU that he wished to do was to haye the Association only to bind thaiuselves to support such men as intended to perform what they promised . ( Qheers . ) ' ... " . "' . Mr . liiHKMYRE Jun . considered the rules as fettering and dogging the members views . He considered it i ? 2 fatuatiou , that they should entertain the idei of returuing any but Radical monibers , although it \ vas plain from the tenor of their rules that they expected a division---at all events an pppositioa . After some rather uncalled-for remarks , Mr . B . said that ho was not there as a vindicator of the Whigs—they required no vindication ;—( laughter)—and ho could saiely say that there was not one point in the Radical code that ho could hot adopt save the giving iu to a majority . - ' :

      Mr . Purdie at great length replied , and could not see why when religious societies , and civil societies of every description , gave a passive obedience to a majority , that political spcieties sheuld npt act iu thosaiue manner . air . Lewis Cameron ; deprecated the CPnflict pf discussipn , as one not at all likely to lead to any good resultif in fact to any result at all . Mr . David toad 6 n rising was loudly cheered , He was npt at all surprised « , i the tono of Mr . Birkmyre rcgtitdin ^ the 7 th rule , as it was the only rule in the whole code that struck at the very root of Whig obstinacy , abU 3 o , and obloquy . ( Cheers . ) Wh y the very

      marrow of the rule was the putting of Whist insolence ts defiance . ( Continued : cheering . ) So long as they were disunited , the farther would they be from their object ; but so soon as they were united then no ¦ louijer would they have tp abide the throes of Whig duplicity —cursed double-dealing . The unipn pf the Radicals would bo a fearful point for the WhiglingSj and altliougli they well knew that the Whig press would be open to traduce and to vilify them ; still they , the Radicals , conscious in their own moral power , cared notT-yalued not their envenomed Bbafts ., ( Cheers . ) Mr . Toad spoke at greater length than wel can afford at present fromprcss of lhatter to sot up . ¦' -.: '

      Mr . W . C , Pattisou would not have considered himself justified in beiag a member of that Association , if the rule alluded to had not been , inserted . In the course of a speech replete with sound political argu ment , Mr . P . took occasion to obserTe that ho knew iiotthe value of Whig morality . Upon one Occasion , in the Trades ' ihall , he asked Mr . Oswald , their present member , whether tho householdora wore deserving of tho Suftxago . His answer was that ha did not deem it-expedient ; the cohunoa reply of the party , fox they wpuidnot say whether the houso should be fivo or six , orseven ^ or eight , or nine pounds , and he as an elector held the man : that , would not give a direct answer .

      much more at fault than the man who would , supposing that answer were to aniount to a direct denial . ( Cheers . ) He bad always coiosidored that the nlau who would not givetae ' gretttest possible happiiiess , to the greatest possible number'deserved , not his . vote , ( Cheers . ) He felt glad that Mr . Birkmyro had not entered upon their W-hig . blessings at any great ieo « th . ( Laughter , ) These boasted measures of amelioratioa were too well under stood , and althpujih an able speaker had preceded him , yet he ( Mr . P . ) trusted that no honest Badical would put faith in either Whig or Tpry , no matter what the comparison might be The meeting then broke up .
