The total revenue appeared to be, Mel:ding the

ture xlia I Is. Id. Nlr. Cosens was of opinion that
a certain
the disposal of the Council, for the porpoise of adding
to the Museum ; aid he referred to a resolution on
the books to that effect. It was found that there
was such a resolution entered, but the effect of it
was limited to a year • and it was explained that
the balance f Its' he left in the hands of the tress'
surer was considered to he available for the purposing
referred to by Mr. Coscus. After souse conversation
the report of the 1 . secretary was adopted, mid
the nieeting proceeded to dispose of the livers taken
in at the Museum during the next year to the highest
bidders. In revising the list of the papers to be
hereafter supplied, the few alterations that were
made therein were somewhat significant of the taste
and knowledge of one or two gentlemen who evi-
dently took the lead in ordering the change. The
old and well-reputed Ufula. London evening paper,
had to succumb to the &eighty Standard, its new
penny contemporary; and the Daily Telegraph was
on the point of being substituted, on the suggestion
of Dr. Cowden, for some other old and valued
friend in the newspaper world, when the
Doctor was informed that the paper of his
choice was an " ultra railical"—whereupon the worthy
gentleman. with an unaffected horror of radicalism,
immediately withdrew his suggestion. The result
of this interesting little discussion, and the "penny-
wise" system was, (in accordance with the sfiggestion
of Mr. Williams) that Iwo " Times" should be taken
in daily--this detereuinathm being perfectly agree-
able to Nlr. Hobert Davis, who nevertheless thought
that "each side in polities should be represented."
After smile couversat the report was unanimously
adopted. The Rev. C. W. Bingham proposed, and
Mr. Weston seconded, the re-election of the out-
going members of the council. It was then resolved
on the motion of Mr. Lock, seconded by Mr. Slade,
that the Rev. Lionel Darner mid J. F. Hodges, Esq.,
should be elected members of the council to till the
vacancies caused by Mr. Shorto's kiud acceptance
of the duties of one of the hon. secretaries, and by
the death of Mr. Hall. Thu usual compliment to
the chairman terminated the proceedings.
lhoti•itgarrxg: Tier N 'tit' %111. —A meeting of this
body took place yesterday' (Monday), M. Devenish,
Esq. (Mayor), in the chair. There were also pre-
sent—Messrs. Andrews. Coombs, Lock, Galpin,

tive of the late Mr. John Barnes bold the premises for-
merly the hospital warden under the Council. Thu
subject hail been adjourned from a previous meeting,
and a great deal of conversation now took place upon
it, the question being, lint, whether Mr. Monday
held the premises for 21 or 31 years, the 21 years
being now on the point of expiring ; secondly,
whether the preperty now *landing thereon was the
property of the lessees or of the Council. Mr.
Coombs offered some explanation upon the matter so
far as he was connected with it. Several resolutions
having been drawn up and elaborately discussed, the
sense of the meeting was definitely taken upon
a resolution moved by Mr. Stanton, and
seconded by Mr. George Andrews—that the lease to
Mr. Nlontley be for 21 years from Is3B and not for
31 years. Mr. Hodges then moved as an amend-
ment, seconded by Mr. Bishop, to the effect that a
lease be tendered to Mr. Monday for 31 years, in
conformity with the lease and accompanying bond
delivered by the Town Clerk to Mr. Coombs in
th46.—For the amendment 4, fur the original reso-
lution 2. The amendment for the extension of the
lease to 31 years was, therefore carried.

resolution of the BeLd at their last meeting, as well
as also one from the solicitors, Messrs. Baker, Son
maid l'hillut.. Mr. Whitehead's note to the Clerk

brief terms, the receipt of the letter. The
consideration of the matter was proceeding
when our report left.
