of the last meeting, which were oonfiruied.

The Unroll said that the find business wee to consider
and determine whether the pasturage of Wullsaton•tlal
should be let, and if NO, for what period and on what
tonna. Hie Worship suggested that the puturage
should be let until Skull let by tender, In the usual
way. A* to the building whiuli might be carried on
there, it would be well to mention the omiditions of
building to any one tendering. and, If injury were sus.
tabled through building, compensation should be allowed
by valuation out of the rent.
Superintendent Yount)), reported that very recently a
dead poplar tree had been out down In Wollaston.tield
and carried away, by whom or when It wu as yet un•

Noirl•ftr building purposes, the damage, if- any, to he

Mr. DKVINIIIS aeconded the amendment.
Mr. MEW, asked, before the amendment was pot,
if the Council would pay the profossionsl fee for valuing

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

TRDRIIDAT. AUG. 12.—A fair 'Verne time-of-year
supply of beasts was on offer in to-day's market, but its
general quality was inferior. All breed, sold slowly, at
Monday's quotations. The chow of sheep was tolerably
F°°. and the mutton trade ruled inactive, at late rates.
We were fairly supplied with lambs, which moved off
heavily, at late rates. Prime small calves sold tot mo-
derate extent, at full ourrenoiea. Otherwise, the veal
trade was in a sluggish state. Pigs and mulch cows very
dull, but not cheaper.

TH2 SCOTCH EPISCOPAL !SYNOD AND THI LADISS.—
At • meeting of this synod at Aberdeen, on Thursday,
the bishop -" Before prooesding, I have to remark
that I see persons here who have not my authority for
being present. I positively refuu to give iny sanction
to ladies being present, and, until the ladies' withdraw,
I shall not proceed with the business. (There were
some half-di:leen ladles in the front seat of the anuth
gallery.) If the lanai have any delicacy they will not
remain without premieeion from in., and I hope any
gentlemen who may have influence with thein will
curl influence to get them to accede to my request.
(After • pause, and no stir among the ladies, the bishop
tiontinued.) lithe ladies are determined, I ain equally
determined and will adjourn the synod to another
place," (4ause of some minutes ensued, and yet no
signs of the ladies retiring.) The bilop then said,--
" The synod Is adjourned till the ladies retire—for half
an hour." The bishop then retired, but the ladies hu
the gallery net still for several minutes. Ultimately,
after • good deal of oonsaltative whispering, and having
had the benefit of the counsels of • reverend brother
who ascended to the gallery, they retired.—Aterdeen

CHINA.

(From lb. Orrrioul Prierid of Chil6o of tilm Sard Juno.)

The Pekin arrived with the English malls on the 19th
again within 40 day, from the General Puet•otflos. Our
dates from the Pehio extend to the Bth inst. No
_oppo-
sition was met by our gau•boate on the route to Tien.
sin from those forte at the month of the Pehio the nip-
tene of which was reported In our last nunnery. On
tne 29th ult., both the Earl of Elgin and Baron Grog,
with their suites, took up their quarters In the vicinity
of the city. Soon afterward. intimation was received of
the appointment of Twininrah, a General of the
Mantohoo banner, as Special High Commissioner. On
Saturday the oth, the Earl of Elgin had his Brit inter.
view with hie Excellency, the Baron Grow meeting him
In • similar date the day following. It is presumed
that the business of these meetings was entirely formal,
awl, failing prompt compliance with our demand/1, the
Anibuniclora are prepared to declare war. Without
such declaration of war we see no feasible means of
bringing matters to a proper footing.
In the south of China the news of actual hostilities in
the north appeared to be the long-desired signal to
societies banded tor annoyance of the barbarinn to pro-
and to active operations. We have received the details
of the capture and decapitation of several Europeans,
the murder of *pore and police on duty, and attempts
at inundiarietu. No person feels himself safe, and one
of two things must shortly be performed; either we
must intrencli the foreign quarters at Honan in such •
manner that foreigners may sleep of night*, or vacate
the place altogether. What the allies oould mean ny
declaring Canton open to trade, and yet neglect to make
provision for the safety of traders, it is imposiible to
divine. It is generally understood, however, that the
fault ruts with General Van Straubenue and Mr.
Parket., rather then with the Ambassadors and naval
oonnuanders, neither the General nor the Commissioner
having aufflcient mind to realise what is actually and
tacitly required of them.

FRIDAY, Ann. 13.—During the preeent week, the
arrivals of English whist, coantwiae and by land car-
riage, have been on • very moderate scale, and the show
of samples here today was limited. For ell kinds,
however, the demand ruled very Inactive, on Monday's
decline in the quotations. We were well supplied with
foreign wheat. Uood end fine samples were told at full
currencies ; but the demand for them was bv no means
active. Inferior parcels were very dull. Barley was
seam, and in good request, at very full prices. Melt,
however, was a slow inquiry, on former terms. There
wall a good demand for oats, at extreme rates. Besns
and peal were 11rni, but not dearer. Flour sold slowly.

ing, and the InApeotor of Nuisanoes reported
nuisances, in referenoe to whieh the usual orders were
made.
The MAYnn moved that the mortgage of the elpeolat
District RAW for 'mooring the further principal stain of
£3,000 and Interest to the Royal Exclisop Assuranoe
Company be sealed ; and the resolution was aimed to.

-
The Tows COMIC read a letter from the Gas Com•
pany enclosing resolutions of the directors, to the effect
that, as the alteration Impeded by the Board of Ilealth,
of lighting the lamps on specified night' before and after
the full inoon would add to the number of hours, and in-
crease the gas consumed, the price would have to he
raised 6s. per lamp. The directors acquiesced in tl.e
oontract.being for one year only.

The MAYOR suggested that the Board refuse to pry
the extra demand. The gas piped were laid down by the
leave and license of the Psviug Commissioners, and the
Gas Act conferred no power to insert a single pipe, and
the Board might withdraw that license at any time.
;I.noe the Gas directors could not make any claim they
chose.

blr. BISHOP calculated that, allowing 24 nighto extra'
though only 10 and not 12 months were lighting months'
the cost would come to 2e. 6d. each lamp, yet the Gas
directors had doubled that sum, adding 100 per oent.

- .
A written reply to the Gas Company was authorized,
requesting an immediate answer.
Mr. Rutledge. in answer to the MAYOR, said with re-
gard to the works at the well that no boring had been
done since the last meeting of the Board, in consequence
of Mr.ltehead's orders relative to the engine and
boiler house. Mr. Gregory was unwilling to commence
till all the scaffolding was taken down, but if this were
done Messrs. Winter and Homey would be unable to get
their pumps and raising-main in. This work of the
pumps was in oonn,e ; meanwhile an alteration was
being made in the main for 3® feet leading into the
town. ['he contrast of Mr. Dodson had been to place
the pipes near the reservoir 4 feet below the Norte*); it
was now found necessary—no plan of the reservoir haw.
in been adopted prior to the signing of the contract—
to lower the pipes 14 feet, so ea to reach the bottom in-
stead of the top of the reservoir. The work would be
finished this week. Mr. Gregory received written
notice to begin building on the 3rd.
A letter was read from Mr. Moyer, on behalf of his
tenant Mr .Vaisey, of Stafford, saying that the claim for
compensation prepared by Mr. Vaizey had not been
speedily attended to, and hoping it would soon be
heeded; and the Town Clerk was requested to meet and
explain the matter to Mr. Floyer.
Mr. DIVZNII3II applied for the free use of the Town
Hall on behalf of W. C. Maeready, Req., on Tuesday,
November 9, for the purpose of the public examination
of the clime, connected with the Associated Mechanics'
Institutes of Dorset and Somerset.
The application was readily granted.
The Board broke up about 2 o'clock.

turning from the palace al Brussels to ',saki% one of
