This appointment having been accepted by Mr. M'DUFFIE, the 23d of November, 1839, was at first determined on for the delivery of the Eulogium, but to accommodate the orator, who was unable to visit the city at that time, the day was subsequently changed to the 13th of February, 1840.

Under the second resolution the following Joint Committee was ap pointed by the Mayor:

On the part of Council-Aldermen M'Donald, Seymour, and, Simons, On the part of the citizens-Ker Boyce, Chas. Fraser, and Wm. P. Finley. Under the third resolution, (relating to the collection of contributions,) the following Ward Committees were appointed by the Mayor, viz:

Ward No. 4-Daniel Horlbeck, Thomas O. Elliott, Daniel C. Levy, E. L. Kerrison.

It may here be remarked, that though the Joint Committee in relation to the erection of a monument, have received several very appropriate and tasteful plans, no definite steps have yet been taken I for the execution of the work, in consequence of the extraordinary pecuniary difficulties of the times, which have opposed an almost ⚫ insurmountable obstacle to the collection of the amount of contribu. tions necessary to that object.

About ten days before the time appointed for the delivery of the Eulogium, it having become necessary that all the arrangements connected therewith, should be definitely made, the Mayor, (in the absence of Mr. DEAS from the city,) convened the Committee of Twenty-Five, of whose proceedings, upon that occasion, the following copy is subjoined:
