There is now ou tlieir bauds a patient whose infirmities require more warmth and greater com¬ forts than are to be had in a naked Block ilou^e ; and therefore they are under the necessity of sending him down to the hospital at Montreal, in hopes of getting him that needful assistance there, which the want of a hospital denies him here. Finally \our Committee feel it incum- bciit upon them, before they close this Report, to exprtss their extreme regret that an opinion seems to be entertained by some gentlemen of this Town, that neither the number nor the exigencies ol the Emigrants demand any extraoidinary exertion. To refute this opinion we be^ leave to refer such persons to our Jour¬ nal, to the Block Houses, and to the oth¬ er abodes ot the destitute—and for our part we feel confident that except the present subscription be much increased by the general imitation of the whole Town, toe cau*-e of the Emigrants (and with that the cause of humanit) ) must be either altogether abandoned, or applica¬ tion must be made to the more muoilic eut contributions of the neighboring Societies, in order to make up the deficiency ofour inadequate charity.

Thomas Clark, Esq. and Robert NicJiol, Esq. Comtnisstonem for carrying the provisions of this Act into effect, Hi>'i thtrt ihe monies hereby grant¬ ed shall be paid by the Receiver General to anyone cf the sait?

His Heirs and Successors, through the Lords Commissioners of His Treasury." Xow, Sir, without any mystery, might he not as well have called at once upon the Gentlemen named id the ahuve cited paragraph, to give him the information required ? Tiny are surely honorable and respectable persons, well attached to the Province, and interested for the glory of its defenders, and could no doubtgive a most satisfact ry account of the pro¬ ceedings in the afiVir committed to their management.
