ADDIUNIII/N OF LONGIATULATION TO THI QUEEN AND

THEIR ROTAL RIOMINISLI THE murex AWD PRINCESS
OP WALES.
The iLAYOR said he now rope to propose a resolution
which be hour they would not only unanimously but
very cordially adopt. That wax an address to Her
Majesty the Queen on the occasion of the birth of •
prince—the sou of the Prime and Princess of Wales.
They were always glad to give expression of their
loyalty had attachment to the Sovereign of this country,
and were especially glad to participate in whatever
might add to the enjoyment and happiness of Queen
Victoria. In that feeling the people of this country
united, and it was one common sentiment with all Eng-
lish people. In all the joys and sorrows of her life the
people of the empire participated. The standard of
high excellence which Her Majesty had pursued and
maintained throughout her life, was one of so high an
order,that they must participate in everything which
could add to her personal comfort and the public happi-
ness of her reign. In private as well so ix public she had
uniformly followed that high standard of excellence,
, and they knew that in this event she not only rejoiced
I on her own account, but from the knowledge that it
would be likely to add to the permanent Nappanee and
interests of the [Kepis of England. Mr. Symonds had
been kind enough to prepare an address, in which be
(the Mayor) thought they would agree with him that it
was • most %lash!, one for the occasion, and which he
would now read and propose for their adoption. He
then proposed that the following address, if it met with
their approbation, be received and adopted, and that
Mr. Sim lode be instructed to get it engrossed and for-
warded to the usual channel. He then read the follow-
ing address
"To Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen.
"May it please your Majesty,—We.the Mayor Alder-
men, and Burgesses of Dorchester, in the county of
Dorset, in Council assembled, crave leave to approach
. . .

your Illty with feelings of loy,alty and devotion to your
Il sjesty's person and throne, and to offer our sincere and
heartfelt oongratul itions on the birth of a bOD and
heir to their Royal Highnesses the Priace and Princess
of Wales— a Prince destined, though at some distant
.... . ..

ity.t;e—iritot, to benome the sovereign of this mighty

empire.
" The happiness of your Majecty,and every member of
your illultrions family, is • feeling and wirb near and
dear to the heart, of all elutes of your Majesty's
subjects ; and the auspicious event of the birth of •
Prinoe, on which we now venture to offer this humble
expression of our joy and sympathy with your Majesty,
is one for which we cannot be too grsteful, tending,ss it
does, under Providence, to secure to these realms •
suocession of Sovereigns of the illustrious House of Bruns-
wick ; and we fervently pray that the Almighty Ruler of
all things will guard and protect the infant Prime, and
guide him in the steps of your Majesty, and of him
whose uiemory will ever be dear In the hearts of the
British people.
"Given under our common seal, at the Guildhall, in
Dorchester, the Ist day of February, 1861."
The proposition was seconded by Mr. Councillor LOCK,
and carried unanimously.
The IIIaTOR again rose and said, it was his further
dutw to propose an address to the Prince and Princess
of Wales, and he was sure that the Council would
adopt thet with equal unan'mity and cordiality. The
birth of • son and heir to their Royal Highnesses must
be a source or happiness to them, and in that happiness
they all partici') ited. It wan gratifying f.r them to
know that in the course of Providence there wu a
future heir provided for these n alms, in thwt ;input
family under whom it was their happinue to lire They
had reason to kn;mr that the education of the young
Prince would be of that high order and e; erecter which
would in all probablity lead him to become • happiness
and a joy to the coming generations of this country.
lie then real the following address, and proposed that
it should be forwarded to the proper quarter :--
" To their Royal Highneaew the PriDOet and Princess of
Wales. .

" May it pleaae your Royal Highneisee,—We the
Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the Borough or
Dorchester, in the county of Dorset, in council
aesembleel,beg knee to approach your Royal Highnesses
with this espresaion of our sincere and heartfelt oon-
gratulation on the birth of a son and heir, an event
producing throughout the length and hreadth of the
land but one feeling of unmixed joy and malefaction,
and securing to your Royal Highnesses, we fervently
hope, lasting domestic happiness..
" We earnestly Pray that the Almighty Disposer of all
things may speedily reatore your Royal Highnesa the
Princess, and that he may guard and protect the infant
Prinee,and preserve your Royal Highnesses to see him
—and other fruits of a union no truly gratifying to all
classes in these realm., and on which the future
destinies of this mighty empire depend—grow up in the
resession of those virtues which will assuredly nom-
manti and secure the love and affection of the British
PeoPic,,

The next bushier( wes to further considers com-
munication from the lessees of Noa 12 and 13 of
Wollaston Field as to the propelled alterations in the
terms of their leases, and decide what shall be done.—
A oonsidenble amount of discussion ensued on this
subject, but nothing of interest was elicit/al.—Mr.
Alderman Galpin,one of the lessees, wished to withdraw
from the Council Chamber during the discussion on
this subject, but was requested by the Mayor and
other men- berg of the Council to remain. It
will be remembered that this subject was
brought forward at the last Council meeting.
It appeared that the lessees, Mr. Galpin and Mr.
Gregoa7, originally intended to build fire small houses
on the land, but now wished to substitute instead one
or two detached villas, and for this purpose required an
shin stion in the leases.
Mr. Alderman GALPIN having explained why_ he was
unable to proceed with the en ction of the email houses
as at first proposed, and the reason why he was Induced
to make this application, mid if the Council determined
that his orialal pl.n should be carried out he would do
so, but if they thought it would be fur their advantage,
and for that of the town, to have one or two ernes
instead, he would build them, provided they would be
at the expense of levelling the hank in front of the
Walks.
Mr Axtignwe thought it would be very
to the town if two large houses were built in Wollaston
Field at the same expense as five small ones wood be
He would therefore propose that Mr. Galpin should
undertake to enter into a 1 see to do so
Mr. GALPIN said he would not undertake to say that
he would expend no much money upon the erection of
two houses as he would upon fire. He should have to
lay out the pound for villas, and that would be a Con-
riderable expense.
Mr. DIEVINIIIH seconded Mr Andrews's proposition,
believing that it would be desirable to have two villas
instead of five small houses, as the former was a class
of house much wanted in the town.
After some other conversation, Mr. Galpin, at the
suggestion of Mr. Andrew., put his proposal in writing,
which was to this effect: —" That he deaired to submit to
the consideration of the Council a proposal relative to the
plots of land in Wollaston Field, on the part of him-
self and Mr. Gregory, and to surrender the hues Noa
12 and 13, and take the lease of the whole to No. 16,
inclusive and to erect thereon one house, at a Oda of
not lees than £l,OOO, or two detached villaaif considered
more advisable. (the plan in either case to be submitted
for the approval of the Council) on condition that they
would defray the expense of levelling the pound on
the south-side of the Walks, the leases being granted
on the same terms as at the last auction.
The former proposition not having been put to the
Council, on the motion of Dr. Aldridge, seconded by
Ensor, Mr. Galpin's offer was accepted.
The MAYOII remarked that be thought he might con-
gratulate the Council upon the step which had been
taken, and expressed • hope that it might lead to other
homes being built upon the pound. He also hoped
that the investment would turn out • profitable one for
Mr. Cialpin.
Mr. OW[111811: I hope Mr. Galpin will build one
good house and live long to enjoy it, and that some one
else will build another.
• VII 11l THII RIGHT DIRSCTION.
The 11•7011, in alluding to the propriety of enclosing
the T 50.11. sonee of grated at the rear of the Ton obeli,
said the retaining of it in the situation it was now in
had been fir • long time • source of complaint. It
had been permitted to do so in the hopes that some
additional offices would be erected on it, as they were
much requincl. He had hoped that this year some
plan might have been considered for caritzngLuit that
object, but, looking at the matter in • point
of view, he almost despaired whether they would be
, able to do so. They had already entered upon some

Mr. Exsoe suggested that it would be desirable to
cull an early meeting of the Connell to look over
former plans which bad been suggested, and see what
could be done. He would be prepared to suggest a
plan which would be inexpensive, and one, he thought,
which would meet with the approbation of the
town, but be would not state what his plan was at the
prteent moment. Omega were wanted very bad, and
much inconvenience was experienced from that want.
Mr. °ALM said be thought it his duty to inform the
Council of a conversation which he had had with the
Government Inspector of Police. On going round to
survey the cello he called the inspector's attention to
the unoccupied site, end the advantage it would offer
for building. Captain Wallis told biro that if at any
time buildings were there erected he should not reoom
mend the Government allowance. If there were addl.
Ilona buildinp erected they would have to remove the
cells so that they might not be obstructed from light
and air.
I The question was referred for the eonsideration of a

Mr. COOMBS called the attention of the Board to the
waste of water at nights, and said that in the eight hours
it was shut of 30,00 q gallons ware wasted. He then
referred to a conversation he had had with the engineer
of the Weymouth waterworks on the subject, when
the latter told him that it mast be impossible : there
was no sta leakage at the works, and believe the waste
must be in the defective piping. When the water su
