The building had not been certilied as being sound by
the Surveyor of the Corporation to tho grobie,,,lg oh..
had elven their opinion reepectirk te alteration' pro

&aides the glade of the space under the Cooned
flhansb•r het been condemned for • Corn Exchange on
account of there being no top light ; there would be
only 30 feet sioare of add/Woes' light effected by the
change.
The MAToR said there Wcrai be a light at both ends
and at the side.
Mr. Beeoa replied that that went fat othing.
Tpe MAYOR was simply an opiiiion
Mr. E•Mig thought that, having bad so much ex-
pedience it the eons trade, he ought to know something
about the light that wee required to examine rumples
by. in oontinoation, Its stated that the plan he
had summated won one wtPch had been apprueed
of by the majority of permits attending the market,
besides which • memorial, aigised by 100 persons, had
been submitted to the Council willing upon them to
tarry it out. By thin plan there would be a Corn
Brawls, 70 feet by 30, lighted from above, and not a
stone of tke present building touchid, and the
pollee-sells and vetch-boom would remain as at
prti.fnt. In addition to that. °Meet would be
provided for the Council. which, three or four
years ago, they wield have spent a large sum of
money to have obtained. Is would provide a Fusee;
room for the use of the Town Clerk, • library, and a
serveyor's older, at • oat of L'lBs, and the Corn lisohatige
ceuld be Wilt for t. 785. That sum would complete
, everything necessary for a corn market. If anything
Was done in the matter he urged the Council to adopt
his plan; but rather than adopt and tarry out the other
one, Involving the risk of throwing down the building
and incurring Wore expends, be would say, let it stay
as it was. A merchant he was talking with 00 Saturday
on the subject, said to hint "rather than let as have
that small specie, lota, remain where we me." He (Mr.
Elmer) earnestly called upon the Council before they
adopted the plan to weigh it luriottale, b..eaust be
believed it would entail great risk upon the hall. and
reoommended that before they obtained the opinion
of mother surveyor that he should be acquainted
with the feet. respecting the bail ling, and that he
should have an interview with Mi. Monday, and
ascertain the fume why be would not certify as to its
strength.
After some desultory dieculsion, the MATOII said he
much questioned whether there would not be a much
better light obiaioad by the made proposed in the lan
plan than that in Mr. Enacir'a There were two funds •
mentil principles which indeenced the irommittee ic
considering this menet —if pomade to, preserve the
present cite, and make additional spade to it. The
proposition before the Council provided • Corn
Exchange with double the slime of tha present one.
and iocreming the aorommodation ; in fact, providing
accommodation for the growth of the market for • long
time to come, and with • considerable increase of light.
Mr. Enloe must excuse him for stating that he thought
be rather overstepped that particular matter upon
whish he lv so Wrongly in favour. In the plait of the
Council, a top light can provided 32 feet long by 28,
an end light at the north end 20 feet by 6, and in
addition to that, the whole of the front light which re-
m .ined Ist present. If that w.• not a much larger
quantity of 1 ght chin would be obtained by Mr. Enan's
plan, he wan much mi.taken. By this plan • Lime in.
Grease of light and space would be obiained, and the
desirab'e object of not removing from the present site,
and .4 retaining the whole of the markets together
would he aocompliabed.

by the other pl.': as by his.
Mr. Elflog did not reply to the question, but stated
that the corn merchants had told hint on Ssiterday that
they should all rush under the 3il feet of glare.
Mr. Curate moved that the plans should be laid on
the table so that those members who were not
Acquainted with them might become so. Mr. Eneor
hat told them that noth ng else but a top light would
palm for the purposes of a Corn Exchange; he
therefore thought some persons should give an opinion
upon it.
Mr. ENSOR readily agreed to this prop-mitten, and
suggested that they should give their opinion on the
question of light.
Mr. GALION asked Mr. COMO if he had any objection
to the matter being referred to the General Purposes
Committee ?
Mr. CURTIN wired in the negative.
Mr. HOWLS, In the merge of • lengthy speech,
said he was sure the Conn il were all agreed
that the most ample opportunity should be given
for the considera.ion of the plans, so that every
one could judge of their respective merits. In the dis.
cession on the subject in committee it was agreed that
a different method of lighting the Corn Exchange shoold
be provided than that by which It was at present
illuminated. The r—cult of the deliberations of the
°nominee was to embody as much as mail& of Mr.
Ensor's ideas in their plan, and they honed that that
gentleman would have ('lien In end rejoiced that so
much of his proposal had been carried out. He (Mr.
Hodges) contended 'hat the plan of the einunittee was
far ruperiur to that of Mr. Easer's, as it would rives much .
larger area for thoai persona who atien.led the market.
He then alluded to the means for lighting the Exchange,
after which be a-bed how it would be possible for the
corn norchanta to transact business on • warm day in
• place like that proposed by Mr Enact. He would ,
ask any one to look at a spec, of 3,200 feet against
that proposed by Mr. En.or, • hich was not more than
1800, and that in connecti in with an inferior petition,

marks lie concluded by stating that it was • great pity

Mr. ESBOa maid the reason why he stood alone was
because he was the only one in the Council that was
einnected with the aura trade, cad knew the light
that was required for buying and selling corn.
Mr. CIALPIX, in the course of • law remarks, hoped
the Council wonld do that wlioh was best for the in.
termite of that body as well a. of the town, and also for
three who visited the market. He hoped the Conseil I
would drop the term "This is my plan, and this Is
mine."
After a few other remarks the subject dropped.
