determined to be • singular in observing the Prinee
of Wales's marriage by abstaining from following the
example of other towns in feeding the poor, and in
determining, on the contrary, to wash them. A
very influential and numerous committee wen
nominated to carry out the project of ating public
bells, which were to be demoseinated "The Prince
of Wales Baths." A few members MMus coormilbee,
and the honorary escretery, Mr. Sidney Persona,
certainly did all in their power to carry out the
scheme, and, in spite of the apathy of their co-ocus-
mitteemen, they so far matured matters as to Wed
• plan from • number sent in, and which plan, as
was as their report, they resolved to submit to •
public meeting of the intubitents of Procne. The

about sixteen gentleman, two only of wham were not
oommittee men —the committee, by-the-by, num-

the committee did all that could be expected atheism,
and that was to abandon the Bath sebum, pass a
vote of thanks to the secretary, and disperse.
Some convenation took place about originating
• winter coal fund, and about a cLock
tower; but the meeting seemingleryealia no desire
to enter on any fresh projects, and so all has ended
in smoke.
