Bunker Hill--The Monument.--A meeting of the Directors of the Bunker Hill Monument Association was held yesterday, and the committee appointed to visit Bunker Hill, and, after examination of the ground, to report to the Directors whether, in their opinion, it is expedient to attempt to raise money for the re-purchase of the whole of the land, formerly belonging to the association, or of any part thereof, and to recommend such measures as they may deem it expedient for the association to adopt, made their report in conformity. Considering the difficulty which must attend the raising of $33,000, which will be necessary, for the re-purchase of the mortgaged land, within the period, in which it is necessary that it should be done, and the extreme probability that the attempt, if made, will not only prove unavailing, but will tend to retard the more important object of the completion of the Monument, the committee recommend that the proprietors of the land be notified that no further effort will be made to re-purchase it, and that there is no occasion for a further suspension of the work upon it. They further recommend, that an effort be made without delay to raise by subscription a sufficient sum to complete the Monument, and that for this purpose, subscription papers shall be prepared and subscriptions solicited, both in this city and vicinity, and in the other principal cities of the Union, and that the subscriptions thereto shall be accompanied, when the subscribers shall request it, with the condition that they shall not be binding, unless the whole amount subscribed for this purpose, within six months from this date, shall be equal to $30,000.

The report was accepted, and the following resolutions were adopted:

Resolved, That a Committee be appointed to solicit subscriptions in conformity with the recommendation in the report in such manner as they shall direct.

Resolved, That a Committee be appointed to prepare a circular, to be addressed in the name of the Association to such individuals and public bodies as may be supposed willing to co-operate with us in efforts now proposed to be made for the completion of the Monument, requesting their assistance, and that these circulars be sent by the subscription committee to the New-England Societies of New-York, Philadelphia and Charleston, to other similar Societies in other parts of the Union, and to other public bodies--and individuals at their discretion.

The committee appointed agreeably to this resolution, is composed of His Excellency Edward Everett, Joseph T. Buckingham, Geo. Darracott, Nathan Hale and Samuel T. Armstrong. And it was then voted that this committee be requested to appoint the committee contemplated in the resolution for procuring subscriptions.

The land which is now reserved for the Monument, is a square which was laid out on the summit of Bunker Hill, having the Monument in its centre, and extending four hundred feet from East to West, and four hundred and seventeen feet from North to South, with a street, fifty feet in width, surrounding this square, to be forever reserved as an appendage to the Monument.
