Mr. Alderman Homyy said the first thing was to
make arrangement. fur the reception of the statue by
the Council. . .

The Tuwx Cu= rid it WU proposed that the
mayor should remise Lord Palmerston in that room,
and that then the Council should promed to the
platform in front, and there accept it formally from
the committee. _ .

Mr. Alderman MOWRY inquired whether leave
bad been obtained to erect the statue.
The Tows CLZRI said that had been made some
time aim He read the minute maned iii the books
on the 27th of December, jell, when Mr. Sotberoo
Emceed., as chairman of the committee, applied to
have the statue erected opposite the COURCIi House.
The Council unanimously granted the application.
Mr. Alderman HOMEY: Then nothing further is
nemesary so far as the statue is concerned.
The M•YOR said Mr. Hinman, NI chairman of
Use committee, would accompany Lord Palmerston
on the platform, and hand it over to the Council.
Lord Palmerston would then deliver an address, and
it would he simply for him, as mayor, to accept the
statue, and thank them.
Mr. T. Pars inquired whether any form of
conveyance was neampary.
The Tows Cizais said unfortunately not.
(Laughter.) The statue had been given by the
Committee, and net the ground by the Council, so
that onus there it would be irremovable.
Mr. MOWRY thought the Mayor had acted quite
right in arranging for the reception of Lord Palmer.
Mon at the Council House.
The MAYOR suggested that the Council should
meet at quarter to eleven, in this room.
Mr. Hussar: His only doubts were as to the pro-
priety of presenting an address to his lordship. He
thought they ought not to present an addreel analim
under very special circumstances. The Mayor
might compliment him in any way he thought
proper ; but, as a public body, he did not see that
they were called upon to vote an address under the
corporate seal.
The MAYOR said if they trusted to his eloquence,
they would be trusting toe very uncertain thing.
They had met for the purpose of dismissing that
matter, and he should be happy to act in accordance
with the wishes of the Council.
Mr. Homer concurred in welcoming Lord
Palmerston in every possible way; but, as • corpora-
tion, be did not think they ought to present an
address under the sod. They shmild, in his opinion,
',online themselves to the &joiner.
Mr. Parisotry inquired whether there was a
precedent of an address having been presented on
such occasions. _ . .

--717hi;-M•vc7t replied that almost every one now
received an address. At Sheffield and other town.
an address had been presented to 1...,rd Palmerston.
Mr. &rotors mated that wherever the premier had
hitherto been be had attended at the invitation of
the anthorities. He was now invited to Salisbury
by • third party, the memorial oommittrw, and there-
fore the authorities knew nothing of bun, except as
• visitor w the time being. They only asked hint
to breakfast.

Mr. HOINKY thought they should welcome him
with all cordiality to breakfast, and there they should
kHe did not me the necessity of an address
gunte the corporate seal.
Mr. WHITLOCK differed from the remarks of Mr
Horsey. He said that in almost every town which
Lord Palmerston had visited he had removed a con-
gratulatory address from the oorporatioa. He
thought, considering the eminent services be had
rendered the country, the high position he occupied,
and it being the first occasion on which he had
visited Salisbury, that they would he perfectly justi-
fied in presenting an address, congratulating him
upon his visit to the town.
Mr. HUSSEY rid they mold ask him to a donuser.
and that was welcoming him. He believed I
there were persons in the City who did
not think his services so pre-eminent as Mr.
Whitlock had stated, and who were of opinion that
the government of the country would have been
better conducted in other hands. (Laughter.)
Mr. WHITLOCK said if it had been Lord Derby, or
Mr. Disraeli, be should have been of the mate opinion.
On an occasion of this kind he thought an address
should be presented.
Mr. S. Path mid his opinion was, that they ought
to avoid all political allusions.
, Mr. W/UTLOCK coaearred in this opinion.
Mr. groats said hedsol no objection to the address,
but he should like to know the sabjeot ef it. He
considered it should be in no way a political qnsation.
The MAYOR : Certainly not. It would be roar*
congratulating him on his visiting the city. No
allusion would be made to his services.
_ _ .

_
Mr. Boort : AU his marvice• aro political
services.

-11 r. Wirrnoat said, apart from politics, be
thought he was deserving of respect from the
illustrious position be occupied in the country.
Mr. Hussar said Lord Palmerston was a very
dexterous gentleman at the head of affairs. and had
a happy knack of Mooring the people, but beyond
that he did not know what they could say.
Mr. WarrLocc : Those are great excellencies.
Mr. Hussey thought they did not seem to afford
sufficient ground for the presentation of an address.
He thought they should confine their addresses to
malty. He almost Imitated about the Prince of
Wales, but at all events be should confine them to
royalty.
Mr. W HITLOCK considered that any man who had
done service to the state was entitled to some con-
sideration. They were not personally ao9uainted
with Lord Paloserstee, but he was a near neighbour,
and on that account they ought to give him a hearty
welcome. .

Paawnurr suggested that they should be
unanimous.

The MAYOR said he had hinted that some three
r.tlentem should be appointed to draw op the ad.
If they did so, the Council could look at it
previous to its adoption.
Mr. WHITLOCK said he should have great pleasure
in propceing the Mayor, Mr. Pain, and Mr. Horsy
to draw up the address.
Mr. HUMBLY :Oh I no. (Laughter.)
The MAY= resniwited that it bad gone forth in
the public papers that an addrets would be pre-
sented, sae they were almost bound to
do so.

AYLWARD wondered that the Council ought
to make an address. . .

—Mr. iiritrriocx--ibmi moved that a congratulatory
=drew' be presented to his lordship ow his arrival
in the city, which WIN asocaded by Mr. Aylward,
who remarked that he believed so one present was
actuated in any way by political motives.
The Maros. observed that he regretted the =sews
of Mr. Whataian, who, be anticipated. would bays
come prepared with =address, but he had been pre-
vented by business from attending the Council.
The Towx th.s.= said the address would be
merely to congratulate him on his arrival is Salle-
bury. The Mayor and Corporation el Southampton
presented his Pirdship, when he melted that town,
with an 'admits which he thought there could been
objection, as it contained no political allusion
whatever.

lILINSZT thought sufficient rumor
had not been adduced to warrant them in prorating
an adders, sod be should move, es an amendment,
that the Council now adjourn.
Mr. &fond wooded the amendment with
pleasure.
Mr. PLIII urged the propriety of not dividing
upon the question. He was ger they all wished to'
show respect to Lord Palmerston, and as there ap•
peered to be some objection to a formal addrein, he
suggested that the Mayor should be requested to
expire to his lordship the gratilkation of the Cor-
poration at his promos among them. If they divided
it would go forth to the world as a political Mlair,
and that they all wiabsd to avoid. (Hear, her.)
Mr. HUBIAY had no objection to the suggestion of
Mr. Pain. . . .

....IC. AY. LWARD mid it appeared that only two had
opposed the mottos, and therefore the majority were
in favour out.
Mr. OTTLWAT : I beg your pardon, there will be
Mr. T. PAIN said, as secretary of the memorial
oommittee,be did not with to makeany °Miami:mos;
but be did uot think it would be oingvatulatery to
Lord Palmerston to bear of any division on the
subject of the address. Whatever they did. he urged
them to do unanimously. . .

Mr. WHITLOCK said, at Glasgow and Edinburgh,
where Lord Palmerston had been invited, addremes
had been presented. The universities invited the
premier, but the corporations joined and offered
their congratulations. it was also the owe at Win.
celestes The corporate body did DCA invite him,
bat they joined notwitbsteading, and presented an
address.

M& 0.. mid if the corporation of Winchester
dig it, what was informal, that waa no reason why
they should follow their example.

The Mayor, Mr. Whitman, Mr. Whitlock, sad Mr.
Aylward was deputed to draw up the addrem.
A platform was ordered to be emoted for the
accommodation of the.. officially coaaseted with the
eiremony, sad the Council It.. separated.

take home, and one of them he attempted to break
in two. In doing it, he plaited the Mock of the
gun which be bad in his hand on the ground, and
rested the mouth of it against hi. left breast. It is

spoke afterwards, but fell a corpse at his wife's feet.
