The first discussion was a lively gine, inaugurated by Mr.
Thomas. respecting the payment of the expenses for
pureeing "Captain Fanny " detained at Bournemouth.
The MAYOR said he hollered Mr. Vickery came to hint
about following "Captain Fano," atol he replied "By all
means go after him." Ile thought it was for the protection
of the rateplyern that such a man should be immiled, even
if such expenses did come out of their pockets.
Mr. ligxxis did not think the objection a frivolous one.
as there was a resolution on the bookn. relating to orders
being riven lwfore egpenses were incurred.
Mr. THOMAS thought tho order ought to accompany the

Mr. HOWARD said if he war, a tradesman, he would
keep the order as a voucher, and not send it, they should
lie sati tied with the counterfoil in the books. _ _

Mr. 'I line ta said resolutions were passed by the
I oiineil, and treated with neglect, and he considered that
was contempt. Why had the Cenci passed such a stupid
riwobition '; Why not have said the counterfoil would be
sufficient
Several bills were ..oan,hne.l. anions them one from Sir
John Cowie, dated 1s71:, respecting the outer pier.
Mr. WALLIS t,ni.l Sir John's hill ought to have been sent
In three years ago, hut he was answered that Sir John had
charged no interest.
Most of the lulls were ordered to he paid : but those
which had no orders (excepting some where the onlers had
been vcrlial) were ordered to be out hack.
Mr. 'Novas remarked that the lit November wail
rapidly appreaching, and he might be asked why he did
not have the rewilut ion carried out.
The iiiiesr id the bills was at last adjourned.

The TowN 'Lung stated the result of the advertisements
for loan of 'fleecy to complete the outer pier. Some offers
had been made ; but they had been withdrawn, on the
offerers leaniing that the Council could not guarantee the
interest and repayment.
The MAYOR re%.l the following letter from Mr. IL
Edwards :

"53, Berkeley-square, W.,
"26th AupTIRI.

"My dear Mr. Mayor, —During illy recent stay at Wey-
mouth I wa.s still more imptessed with the great
advantages that must accrue to Wey th by the com-
pletion .4 the Outer Pier—and I think there is a general
opinion in favour iif it ; but the all-important diflieulty,
. lerstood, was in Ivirmwing the limey, owing to the
security. Now, if there is a general desire in WOYMOnth
to have this work earned out. I will advance the money,
and take such security as they can offer, and they might
give 1110 bonds .4 tlial each, and redeem them at any
time, whenever they have funds at their disposal,
my whole and sole object being to benefit the
town. It must he admitted by every one that our recent
Regatta Wall • great success, and I feel sure, if the Outer
Pier id carried out, so that yachts may come in and
anchor, we shall have lots of yachts there for weeks and
n ..... ths together. We must all unite in the object of
making Weymouth a wateringiplace second to none, and
I ant ours there is no one who desires this more than
yourself.

"Believe inc. tours faithfully,
"Hama Enwanus."

The Council, from the Mayor to every member, were
unanimous in expressing their admiration, and it was
resolved to accept, and that the best thanks of the
Corporation Is, sent to Mr. Es 'wards for his most generous
offer.
