Some discussion took place on the question of the alteration of the market day, and considerable dissatisfaction was expressed at the course which had been taken in the matter. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. Correspondence was then read from different parts of the country, on the subject of the Leugue, and in favor of it. Several of the writers were of opinion that the subscription of 10s per annum was too high.
