The Mason acknowledged the compliment. It had
been Lie enximis (heirs to do his duty (though he bad
fulfilled it v, ry feebly) to the 'Conned and to the town,
during the past year, in the high position in which they
bee placed him, irrespectively of any peronel or patty
considerations. He had endeavoured faithfully to fulfil
thaduties of the trust reposed in him conacientiously,
and to the advantage of the town at large. In the
future he purposed to go on in the same course, and he
lipped at the end of Another Year to receive their weed
of encotiradement, which, given on the present occasion.,

, THE NEW CORN ZECHANG&
Mr. ANDREWS : I wish to ask the Town Clerk if there
is a contract. with Mr. Wellspring actually entered into
for building what I onee ventured to call a ball-roons,
and to maksithe Aerations in the markets.
The TOWN CLERK: Yes, there is.
Alderman ESSOR : As I find that this matter is now
finally settled, I would say a word or two in reference
to it, and that is to express the gratification I feel at
having obtained a Corn Exchange. But there is this
very great drawback—the cost to the town. I shall
say no more upon the sufrJeot.
This concluded the business of the meeting.

rerp.drernenic of the town. So also did Mr. Apilige
tie would discharge the duties of hl oflio- *ith a great
deal of credit not only to himself be to the two at
large. Hs (Mr. Thom ,$) had eernes,ly hoped that there,
would not have been miy personal feeling masitested on
this occasion, but Vint the business of this me .-tingi
would have been gone through ins. wadeable manner.j
No businee could be transacted where bickering and
Party feeling ergot is. It was is pursuanos of the Joni
sistent eouree which he had laid down that he had great,
pleasure in proposing that Ur. Ayliog should All the
civic oh air for the /inning year. (Applause.)
Mr. HOBIRTB secoodedlim amendment.
Mr: HOWARD said this was an occasion upon which le
did not feel himself juatined in giving a silent vete, and
he wished to say a few words before the Council selected ,
their Mayor. It was ridiculous tdlive in • glass house,
and faney you amid not be roan. (Hear, bear.) Did I
the Connell really think that polities never entered that
chamber? Politics did come there, cal/ them by what-
ever name they liked. As a proof, he said that ever
t since the time of the et* Mr. W Devenish up to, the
mount moment all the gentlemen who had held the
office of chief might„ e of this borough had been those
who held Coneertativp views and opinions. (Applause.)
If they called this by whatever name they liked, it was
politics, and wag a Well known fact. Now, upon the
present occasion, as he understood, it least the choice
of Mayor would fall upon some gentleman holding
Liberal opinions, and that the Liberal party should
have the norninatiets of their Mayor. He maintained
that if such an arrangement had bem come to the
liberal party ought to have the *edit of nernivaying
their man, of selecting him from the ranks, and not se
have one foroed down their throats by the opposite aide.
(Loud cheers, and cries of " Give it ern.") The day was
long gone by when Weymouth was a stand-still place;
the Weymouth of the present day was the Weymouth
of tha past. No doubt gentlemen who had filled the
office of late years had done all they could to promote
its prosperity, but there was a tide in the affant of a
man, and of a council too, sod it wee then that

efibirebjeet than to do his utmost foe the
welfare and prosperity of the town. (Cheers.)
Mr. JOHS TrzatiD thanked the seven gentlemen who
were kind enough to record their votes in his taloa:.
In rising, however, to do so be bad two objects in view.
Toe first was to lath, be known that the Liberal party
were not what the Conservatives gave them credit for,
they were united. (Cheers.) The second was that it
should not go forth to the public that the seleetioa of
the Mayor was not that of the Liberals but of the
Conservatives. (Loud sheers.)
The election of three Aldermen in the place of Alder-
men Eliot, Bower, and Avling was then proceeded.
with. On the voting papers being oolleeted the follow-
Mg votes were recorded: Blisse_ /8 : Thompson, 15;
tyling, 13; Howard, flt 'DI* 1.; Maunders, 1;
Mason, 1.
The Merin declared the lipate Ant-named fluly
elected.'
Mr. HOWS.IID contended that thellfayer could set
deslare himself, lodged a pretestapient the declaration,
and said that the gown nines fall te bins. (Cheers and
laughter.) •
The TOWN CAW differed from Mr. Bowieed, an 4
refused to *eke the protest in the minute book,. work
which Mr. Howard did for him.
After the iltlerterly meetings had been died the
Council adjourned.
