read by the Maio., as well am the notice convening
the co-eting. His Worship rapreerei his ayropathy
with th• memorial, and azreed with the flea that it
would be a god thing to get the tar-harrels out of thv

Mr. H. N. Cox expremed his .ympathy with the
pr j ct. for it wa• Hum Xr protect pr.p.rty In the
tow. The time had I Dr slime gnu by when these
processious wer• I Ate.l upon as rrligiou• demon.tra-
lions. He thought that a committee sh..ull be
eppoiored to coil.ct suburriptioo. and procure a 11.1 d
where firework., fix., could be displayed. He moved
" That a committee Its formal with the view to carry

Mr. lialg thought they should understand what
w se to be cime before they ple4gsd tbsomelres to any-
thing. 11. v himself. he had certeialy thi.neht it
crone, that 'ha people of Briiport Omuta tolerate
such disorderly proceedings as those of poet years.
Hs was personally against soy tarsi% which would
hurt the feeling's of their Roman Catholic brethren,
awl ha wan sure they would guard against that
(hese, begr)—and they should remember that the
"fifth" not only celebrated the gunpowder plot, but
els ths Crimea, one of our noblest victories. (Ap-
plause.)
Mr. R. Cox expressed his concurronos with the
pH Cl. when ths motion wee 'seconded by Mr. W. le
MAI-MEWS, and o arid new, COM-
: . .

A committee wall then appointed, with power 13
RAI to their number._

O he of Hr. HOWELL, seconded by Mr. J.
A. Coming. Mr. F. W. Hallett was appointed
woretary pro. RIC
It wee erratum I that tbe committee meet on Thrive-
day to make farther arrangements. It I. fully
szps4.rl that the dent.mstration will prove a
thoroughly good and attractive one.
