For a start, you are missing a quote and a parenthese on the
statement; probably should be: (another quote was also missing)

n<-subset(m, select=c("X1", "X7", "X12","X15", "X22", "X26", "X31",
"X34", "X39", "X44", "X51", "X58"))

Not sure what you want with the rownames; an example would help and
post with 'dput'.

What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
Tell me what you want to do, not how you want to do it.
