TOWN 00UNOIL NEBTING..

A quarterly weeteng of the Torn Cooped sae held
on Monday. ?meat : The Mayor, Aldermen Halpin
and Came ; Councillors Devenisb, Hodges, Beanett,
Mason, and Lost.

TIM ARCIAOLOGICAL
Prior to the Weiner on the agenda paper being com-
menced, the Mayor stated that this restitution bad
aecepted the invitation of the Council to :iold their
next meeting in the town. LA week the secretary of
the Institution visited Dorchester with the view of col-
Wain( information for the purpose of preparing an in-
troductory paper. He remained some days in the town,
and wee mesh pleased with what be saw.

MI II BATTU! OF SOTAL 110131 ANTILLKEY.

The Mason said that when the officers and men et
this battery left the town, it was suggested that as
the men bad behaved themselves so well and had
generally conduct,' themselves with so much propriety,
it would be right that some notice should be taken of
th.ir departure. They were with us two years, during
which time they conducted themselves steadily and in
a proper manner. Mr. Symonds had been kind enough
to prepare an address which wee sent to Major Pant,
and a reply was abuo.t immediately rewired, stating
that be considered it to be one of the greatest rewards
el • soldier to obtain the approbation of his fellow
(Minns, whilst at the same time be was carrying out
the duties of a soldier.

WOLLLSTON YIELD.

Forty minutest elapsed before sufficient members of
the Council were present to transact business. Whets
bo•ever, there were, the first was to oonsider the plans
al the bosses propped to be eseoted on building lots 12,
13, 14, 12, and 16, of Wet aston Field, and the esti.
mated cost thereof. After • abort and unimportant
dismission, it was decided that the honess should be
erected, the Mayor renierking that he ha 4 no doubt
such a step would lead to further building extensioa is
that field.

TIN COBS Ileriseol.
Some discussion took place as to the quest'on of at
coos laying down • plank flooring in the preseut Corn

The MATOR mid a WOOddell floor bad been considered
by some members of the Council as most desirable
was pert of the plan before them, but as that plan could
not be carried out this winter it was desirable that the
master should be decided as to whether the floor should
be done or not. The only real objection to this wet

north wall of the Hall should be removed, and the plan

Mr. Homes considered that the new lowing wee
quite distinct from any plea. He advocated it being
done, and spoke of to convenience and comfort that
would arias from the floor being laid down, and cow
eluded by proposinta resolution to that effect.
Mr. BIWINITT wW that &rooming to Mr. Eames state-
meets so one would go into the place. He (Mr.
Bassett) could not see the use of exploding L.-Mourne&

After moue farther discussion the subject was
