A meeting of the committee appointed some time since for the purpose of making the necessary steps for erecting a suitable monument to the memory of the late Earl of Galloway here, met on Friday, to receive and consider the report of a sub-committee which was appointed from the general committee, to select a site, recommend a form, and if possible the probable expense. James Stewart, Esq. of Cairnsmore, was called to the chair; and Mr Carson, solicitor, read the report of the sub-committee, which recommended that a bronze statue be erected on that piece of vacant ground between the Clydesdale Bank and the end of the bridge. Capt. C. Stewart stated that the report was not a unanimous one. He had dissented from it, and still dissents. He moved that the proposed memorial to the late Earl of Galloway should take the form of a Town Hall and Corn Exchange with an inscription over the entrance stating that it had been erected in memory of Randolph, ninth Earl of Galloway, with a marble statue of the deceased gentleman in the entrance hall, which he thought would combine-the useful; and this proposal, he might mention, had the approval of both Lord Galloway and the Dowager-Countess of Galloway. The motion having been seconded by Alex, McCutcheon, Esq., chief magistrate, Mr Kerr, banker, moved that the report of the sub-committee should be adopted, characterising Capt. Stewart's motion as an obstructive one, which was denied by the gallant Captain, who thought the objection to his motion should have come from some one less interested than the agent of the Clydesdale Bank, whose property it would benefit. Mr Kerr disclaimed any selfish motive On the subject, and did not care where the monument was put. Mr Mitchell seconded Mr Kerr's motion, which was supported by Mr Carson. The chairman could not agree to the motion of Mr Kerr. He would have cheerfully subscribed for a Town Hall and Corn Exchange, but would give nothing for the monument. It was said the monument alone would cost £1200. On a show of hands being taken for the two motions, there were six for Capt. Stewart's and ton for Mr Kerr's - that of a bronze statue. Capt. Stewart, the chairman, Messrs McCutcheon, Waugh, and McEwen severally requested that their names be withdrawn me members of committee. Some others having been added to the general committee, a vote of thanks to the chair-man closed the proceedings, and the meeting separated. We regret having to bid farewell to our hopes of a new Town Hall for the present - a building which is much needed in the town.
