The Secretary (Mr. G. J. Axnaxws) opened the,
discussion by alluding to • remark made by the
President in his lecture, with respect to the means
by which the retnne of tradesmen,' Wooing* were
obtained. Re oontestded that the process with the
tradesman was moth more inquisitorsi than with
the farmer, because with the latter, as the chairman
truly remarked, there was the rate book which was
open to every one in the parish in order that they
might aluertain what was the amount to be paid.
With respect, however, to the tradesman, it most be
borne in mind that there wee power giveii by which
he was bound to produce all his private books and
payers, and show, to the satisfaction of the tax com-
missioners, and also to the surveyor of taxes, what
his income was. If be did not clearly show what it

Mr. !hum:bans said he should like to show his
hooka, which would prove that he was taxed too
high according to his returns.
Mr. A/101111We said if farm property should not he
sufficiently rated, or in any year the profits should
be more than they were taxed for, fsrmers were not
called upon to pay the alone. For indiums, their
I property tat might be taken to be ttpon their rating
of £l,OOO • year. Supposing they made £2,000,
they would not be callid upon to pay for £2,000,
but only the amount on the rate book; but trades.
man were called upon to pay tax for what
they actually made. Farmers were dealt with in a
different manner. There was • rate, and they were
charged so much upon their rating.
Mr. littuireset remarked that be *timid like for a
farmer to be called upon to pay according to the
profits he made, for then be would not be so bad off;
whereas now be was bound to pay according as lie
was abed.

be obtained hod failed, and thar report wee
entered on the minutes of the Council. With
refereeee to the scheme proposed by the committee,
Mr. Piper bad oonderined, and that was also entered
on the mingles of the Council ; therefore he considered
they were feirly out of cant, or, in other words, non-
suited. Under these arcOlUblirltel he felt justified
in pursuing the course he was oboist to talcs,
and therefore would at WWI prooeed to the con•
sliteretion of the beerier. for which they were
met—to receive and consider an amended plan for

and said it waa with the view of meeting with the

moose farmers, and other partiso not directly connected
with the corn trade, that he wished to ',thin the
frontage of the present buildin: and for that permit
had intended the scheme whet; be fret introduced to
the Council, which would now retain two thirds of
the frontage of the preseet ezejuinge. The building
would be 60 feet by 30, 24 fret in height, with
proper light, a board floor, and two fire places, the
estimated wet of which would be WOO. Thies altera-
tions would not interfere with the present Alcor, and
therefore it was in order to Garry out the wishes of
many persons that be had made the alterations in his
former plan. A room 21 feet 6 inehes,hy2l feet would also

doubt the Clausal would defile a reeenue of 10 Per
coot, on the outlay. It was not his intention to put
hi. proposition to the meeting to-day, and for two
rations which be thonght they would fall in with. The
iret was that at they were now drawing close upon
winter, and as it would be two months before they
weld prepare the plans and speediestions and obtain
tenders, it would be unwise to *Dolmens* such a building.
and therefore be susgoted to postpone the question
until their first meeting in February, in order that
three purpose who were advocates of the George site
might hive time to bring forward some other iithenp..
Let then however bear in mind that in his scheme
then was everything whisk could be desired,
and it was the opinion of competent men
that exidloient spate was provided for the
reqUirenteive of the edit ginserattoei Thls they Gould
obtain for 1100. therefore he hoped, whether the
matter wee Wow up by the Council or private indivi•
duels, tie, would bear the coat in mind. He hoped
something would be dope to meet the reouirements of
the corn and seed trade, for his opinion was that
It would be for the weal or woe of the town ; not
that be meant to say the corn trade would be
deserted, but that the merchants were not provided
with that ainsommodation which the interests of the
trade required, and neither was anything done to
sewerage pers.= wrote' to the market.
After an unimportant discussion, r. Erma moved,
and Yr. AnDlaWs seconded, that the amended plan for
the extension of the present Corn Exchange be received
and considered.

Mr. °atm considered that after being celled together
for • 'pedal purpon it WY like child's play to revive
and carry a resolution to the effect that they would
receive and consider • scheme for building • Corn
&change oic the undermandiop that the matter was to
be deferred until February. 0 the Conned considers,
that • Wipes way of proceeding then be wee at • loss
to understand whet was. B. considered that they
should either accept the wheeze or reject it. At all
events h. hoped he should have the credit for earneutly
within' to improve the rendition of their agricultural
hided@ as Mr. Essor, although he seemed to infer that
the Council were not competent to give an opinion for
the interests of the town or of the agrieulturins, and
tir this purpose would move, "Thai in the opinion of
this Conseil it is highly desirable that any new
erection for the purpose of • Corn Exchange should
have its entire frontless in oite of the high streets,
and that steps be et once taken to ascertain
whether any nun site can be obtained." After this
lengthened discussion which had taken plasm on the
subject, he thought it pas unnecessary to make say
speech on the matter; but be was grin to that prin.
oink which he hoped wsruld never be lost nest of—that
all their business trains:none might be mob that thry
could always be seen by persons penis( through the
town. The impres ion seemed to be that it was the
with to throw all the business transactions of th•
market is the dark.
Mc Mason seconded the therandin nt. .

Mr. 211•01 'attended that his plan provided that
froutege, and maintained that, for a place of business,
espeaMly for a Corn Exoliangellin isolated place was the
very soot where merchants preferred transacting
busineas, and mid he would challenge any member of
the Council to show him a Corn Exchange bl3b
had a frontage in the main street. He sihided to
the exchange at Mark.lane, at Yeovil, and Elandford,
which he mid were all situated in isolated Waco*.
Merchants did not require their attention taken up by
what was passing in the street.
The MAYOB WM about to put gr. Halpin's amend-
ment, when
Mr. AnDlinws said he did not think it could scarcely
be considered as an amendmeot--it was the affirmation
of an Shaine* principle. They must not loos sight of
one fact, that although tho abstract principle warn de-
eirsble, it did not appear to him, from the trouble the
committee hod been to in on leationting to obtain
another site, that there woe one which would to within
the means of the Council. and ha amid he very much
creased to iseurriag a large eapesee, and bertealag the
town with any rata in order to defray the expense of a
new Corn Exchange. Therefore Mr. Galpin's suggestion
might pas, se an abstrast principle, but he coneidarod
could not be carried farther - . .

Mr. OALPIIf said he thought it wee well understood
that there was never any intention to levy a rats upon
the inhabitants for this purpose. The Cosuril 13.4
property of their own to meet the espenees connected
entle erecting • new Ilsob=and they had no power
to levy a rate steal! they
Mr. Ens,* remerit-d that when he first brought the
subject forward, Mr. Balpis said the Council would be
imbibing the town into expires' which they would
have to meet by making a borough rate.
Mr. GAL/1N denied that hi had star mode UM of
such • statement, and
The M•run mid he remembered the comeion
alluded to, but the remark had reference to the toll
question, and not to the Corn Fachenge.
Mr. Boson said be thought there would have
b en an apparition to his whew, bemuse some gentle-
men it stid ott of the Ornmeil who looked sweet apes Use
(harp at., but who hid bed use innings and had been
bowled out, could in the meantime he.. been enehled

Kr. GAIZIN said the reams for toting oak. had done
wee bemuse he wan not disposed to accept Mr. Bosor's
plan. He was n.t at all serest glom the George site or
eny other place, bet it was the duty of the Cleaned to
'sleet the burl spot they could.
Both Mr. linsor's proposition end Kr. Gelpin's
ameedment wpre carried after a further desultory die-
esmicio, but Kr. Bnier's other resolutions, of Odell be
had given notice, did not mate before the sodas of the
Cornice, for after the first chte had been disposed of.
