dividend, fear it may be a thankless task to remind alt concerned of the man David Gillies, who, more than all others, by his abílíty and bull-dog tenacity, transformed the Dock Company and its establishments fron à mure cudition of existence to the grandest establishment of its kind in the East; and to suggest that, before the remembranes of his work passes from the prosent kaleidoscopic race of diractors and sharoholders, we in seine way commemorate
hia survices to the Company and to tha Colonyby the erection of a statue to his mentory or in some ether suitable manner. I am sure no otre living or dead has done more for this Colony than the late Mr Gillies, and his effigy, if graven by a cunning hand, would be a fit companion to the one about to be erected as Sir Thomas Fackson-Yours,
