THE ORROOINO OF TIM lIARBOFI4.

Mr. LOWIELL moved a resobitiim to the effect that in
comiermeneo of the herb. or intone being reduced from
Immo to alviut via) per annum, from all sources,
and the expenditure for the harbour worke having
considerably increased, and the reduced income being
insufficient to meet the demand, and the water in the
harbour being deep enough for the trade of the port.,
the use of theater= dredger he at once discontinued
and a hand dredger used in its place. He said the
dredger way costing the town £l,OOO per annum, and
that the expenditure wan unnecessary, as there were
not funds to meet it. The Harbourmaeter had said
he considered a hand dredger wmlif be sufficient to
keep the same depth of water tui was now in the
harbour.

It WM ultinmtely resolved to discontinue the use of
the steatn dredger at the end J the month, and to have
a hand dredger in itst place.

criticism culminating in a long letter to the riNVII
from a "Wayfarer:, who boldly attacks the lin, map,
which is commonly supposed to be an infallible guide
to the pedestrian and a fitting inonuinerit of Itritish

that it fails to distinguish accurately between the
various classes of roads, confusing high road and
track and lane and bypath in a manner disastrous
to the adventurous traveller ; and while the old-
fashioned bill shading as inaccurate, misleading, and
often unintelligible. the contours, which in all the

not, I see the questions I asked him have not been
answered, but simply evaded, and his former con-
tentinn, differently worded, in reiterated.
I asked what sort of an abstainer he wax, and
whether him first letter was written with the intention
of benefitting the temperance cause, which I should
still like to know. If the latter question lie answered
in the affirmative, he will ha,, some difficulty in
maintaining the position, ruml if answered in the
negative, or not anew( rod at all, the inference I draw
