30th lust. No tender., had ae yet been reosived.—
Mr. Style asked the surveyor, Mr. Botham, if it
was more advantageous to sell the refuse by tender
or auction.—The Surveyor replied, that by selling
the refuse in mall quantities, more money was
realised, as parties were better enabled to purchase
in that way.—Mr. Style asked if any gentleman
could devise any means, or give advice, with a view
of reducing the public expenditure; they were all
large ratepayers, and it behoved every one to
advise for the good of the city, but not to be az•

renewal of lionises, rnostof the old ones were renewed.
Mr. Whiteman applied to the Bench for a spirit
license, as behalf of Mr. William Wilkins, of the
Prince of Wales' Plume, Fiakerton-street. He said

tion to the application. Mr. Wilkins had an excellent
house, with coseh.bouse, sod stabling for 12 berms.
In support of the application Ito might mention that
• renewal of the spirit homes of the Wagon and
Horses was not about to be asked for, and that

Fisherion WU only £4,318 Ts., it had now increased
to £7,916, or nearly twice the former amount.
During this period, only two fresh spirit lionesses had
been granted—one to Mr. Boulter, for the London
Ins, and the other to Mr. Oillo, for the Victoria.
Mr. Wilkins was a man of undoubted respectability,
as was fully borne out by a petition to the Bench
prepared some time ago, and signed by the late
rector, and many of the most respectable inhabitants
of the parish.—Mr. Wilkins haying been sworn, to
prove the services of the ussal lioness, the Bench at
woe acceded to the apphostioe.
