brunt of opposition—and even to suffer in its cause . Mutual forgiveness having been exchanged , charity having at length prevailed , ( we trust in every sense and in every direction , ) and a new era of harmony and unanimity having apparently dawned upon us , we pass over the recollection of those painful circumstances which were honourable to none , save him whom they failed to

subscribers . With very trifling exceptions , the subscriptions previously announced have been realized , and new names continue to be announced ; so that a very splendid work of art , in silver , has been ordered , to the value of the cash in hand , and the incidental expenses will be covered by payments yet to be made .
