Mr. HIBBS remarked that if IN had been present
"es the new olev•Yrir was apeointed be should
have voted for the amendsmet of Misers. Howard and
Thomas for a cosimittes to examine the testimonials
of the candidates. The misuser in which that
election had hems conducted was underhand and
detrimental both to the interests of the town and of
the surveyor himself. He contended that all the
testimonials ought to have been examined, instead of
not being opened Mill; and if this had been done he
had no doubt the C..oeil would have had many
respectable offers for the situation. He asked the
Town Clerk if the testimonials were still in bis
possession.
The Tows CLUE replied that some of them had
been applied for and returned.
Mr. limn said he was sorry for that, boot"' he
intended to move a resolution to the effect that the
present resolution appointing the surveyor be
rescinded, and that the testimonials should be con.
!adored by a committee, who would take an early
opportunity to move a molution on the subject. He
did not molder Mr. Seaman qualified for the office
of surveyor for such a rising town as this we, and
the appointment was both detrimental and muslin
(Amory for the intonate of the borough.
Alderman Harm= vindicated the mires be had
taken ma proposing that Mr. Seaman should fill
the office of surveyor, and contended that Mr.
Seaman would prove as economical and suitable an
officer as *amid he desired. . .

Mr. HOWNID oontended that it wee the duty of
the Council to have examined every one of the
testimouials, of which they were 32, and it was for
that reason that be proposed that • committee should
mender and report upon them. There Wen applica-
tions for the office, not only (ruin men in different
parts of the country, but from many of ability in
the town, and in justice to them the applications
ought to have been outsiders& Not hundreds out
thoemada of pounds had been miwayeat under the
authority of die late surveyor; therefore that was •
reason why the Connell should be Careful whom they
put into the office.

had been brought to a close, the Corporation

WOOL —WOOL Cwonctt.—Tbe late storms have
so shaken the dilapidated roof and arches of the old
church at Wool that the building has now become
highly dangereue ; it was, therefore, on Sunday,
the f hit inst., closed for service, and will not be
opened again until restored. The last sermon
preached in the churat was on the subject of the
late harvest, wheu a collection was made of two
guineas for the Dorset County Hospital. The next
sermon will, we trust, be one of thanksgiving on
the dedication of the church once more to God's
service.
