it entered into the unhappy alliance with the State had
amazing power. Nothing would stop it: it flew like wild
fire over all parts of Europe, tortures could not stop, and
although thousands were tossed to the wild beasts, the
faith propagated itself. Those were the times when love '
was the power, when those ruled who took the deepest
burdens. A sad time came on, the time of Constantine,
when the unhappy alliance was entered into between the
Church and State, when lordly bishops appeared, and
when the Church was shorn of its strength. In this little
cause they had their troubles, very sore troubles; but they
had decided to fill up appointment:" in the beet way they
possibly could, and hoped they would go on and prosper.
(Applause). The Rev. W. Lewis said Christianity began
with difficulties; but the grand moving power which cams
down from heaven made short work of those difficulties.
Even when God is bleating us, we must not expect the
difficulties to get out of the way, but must take them into
account. Our Christian work sometimes takes us into
difficulties, the Church has often been dragged through
the fire of persecution to fit her for the work, and pernape
they here were hasten back that they might be fitted for
work. Financial difficulties are very trying, and he
should not be likely to sleep well, if he were in debt Ile
was very much gratified that in the midst of a current
deficiency they were planning to try to get out of debt. It
was affectation not to try and get money for the Lord;
but they must first see to it that they were getting for
Christ's sake, and to see to it also that His Kingdom is
being wore thoroughly established in their own hearts.
Let them then see to it that their own heart is kept under
the influence of the love of God. Our strength is not in
numbers or in gold: but in the heavenly principles we can
wield, the love of God in our hearts, Ile trusted this
would be a turniag point in their history, and that they
might learn God LW said " From this natal! will bless you.
(Applause,) The Rev. H. James, a former minster, and
the Rev. H. Lewis, Wesleyan minister, &leo took part in
the proceedings.

and Mr. T. Abbott.

summoned for obstructing the foot path, by keeping his
carriage across the opening of the Esplanade. —lle did not

defendent blocking the path with his carriage, and he
refused to move when the constable told him. —Fined lie.
including costa, or 14 days in default—North afterwards
came and said he had been robbed by another cab driver
named Bugler, of his turn on the stand.--Croes-examined.
He kept his cab there, waiting to go into his turn.—ln
answer to the Bench, Supt. Vickery said defendant was
;respectable man: but if Bugler had robbed him of •
ore, be could have summoned him for the fare. The man
might have been labouring under • mistake. The Bench
reduced the fine to tit. and told the defendant that in cue
he or any other cab.driver had ranee of complaint against
other people, they would grant him a sunimons free of
costs.
Albert Middirton was snmmoued for loitering about with
his carriage, not being on the cabstand, on Wednesday,
11th inst Hanna appeared for defendant—P.C.
Stickland saw him drive up the Front, with his horse and
earn**, and without • fare ; he drove as far as the end

not come from the Cab stand. Had seen • dog with
defendant, and spoke to defendant near King street: he
was driving at a trot, and afterwards be went to the
stand. Had no enmity towards Middleton. Defendant
had a showy little horse and trap,and solvated he wanted
to show it off—Mr. Hanna said the bye-laws had been
stretched to • very great extent to bring defendant within
the limits. The reason Middleton left the stand was
because • gentleman sent from Brunswick buildings to
ask defendant to corns up there about a terrier. He held
in his hand • note from the gentleman, which, however,
was not legal evidence, but, if the Bench had • doubt in
their mind, he would sal that the came be adjourned, in
order that the gentlemen might be subpamaed. He
could not come down this morning; but sent • note
Instead. )Liddleton, being a respectable man, and who
had • lodginghouse in Augusta Place, would be the last
of the cabmen to offend against the byelews.—The Bench
Mitt there was a doubt in the case and they would dismiss
it. At the same time they impressed upon defendant
that he must obey the police.

IL CARTEJeI supwAy.

The first business---w-L-ie co-on-Tier-Whether Hr. Carter
should have • lease of this slipway.
The Committee reported as follows :
.• Your Committee recommend that Mr. Carter be allowed to
have • law of his slipway for which he has applied, for the
term of 21 years from the 23rd of April last, the same to be
determinable at the end of the Ilea seven or 14 years, and on
winlition that it be also made determinable on his discon-
tinuing to use and occupy the premises adjoining for the
purpose of • shipbuilder's yard, the I:Location of :he laying
down of the same being referred to the Harbour-master "
The Surveyor and Harbourmasters reconunendatiens
were ne below : . . . . . . .

i—sc-c7x7d-al;ce with the Instructions received from Um
Committee we have examined the site of tbe proposed slipway,
and are of opinion that it should not be permanently laid for
a distance exceeding 25 feet, from the trice of the quay wall.
Also that it should be sunk to the level of the forethore, so ea
hot to cause any obstruction to the Harbour. Any additional
length required for the launching of large vowels should be
only of a mammary character."
Mr. ATLEg, jun., did not think the Harbour-master
should excavate for him. .

-IThe- irsToit—Wirtie material the Harbourmaster
vented could be got there cheaper than from the
herbour ; that was why he excavated there.

LAND. NIA2 TAIZ.

Mr. Gazmewoo—O-tius. apige-d for a lasso of land near
has stone yard :
'The land adjoining my yard and outside the tramssy being
now unused, I should be glad to know if you would allow me
to add • portion of it to my premises for the purpose of
putting up • small engine and machine for dressing stone. I
would also ask you to gite me a short lease upon the ground 1
st present occupy, together with the proposal addlUon.
Annexed I beg to hand you • sketch, of what 1 should
require."
Mr. THOMAS said they must be very particular; he
could scarcely peen that way the other morning.
Mr. LUND'S corroborated.
. _

The 'Nair -.wax said that had not been signed, out of
courtesy to Mr. Wallis.
At seven minutes to One, Mr. WALLIS was heard to
exclaim to a member, 'Well if you want your dinner.
you had better hook it before, and not disturb me."
(Laughter.)
OAS.
At last the sensation of the day was reached, when
Mr. WALLIS rose, according to notice, to invite the Board
to consider "Three suggestions respecting the lighting of
the Borough—lit, the most effective ,• 2nd, the most
economical; 3rd, tke most honest way of doing 110." He
read 13 closely-written letter-size of which we
endeavour to give the main ideas. e sai —This subject
memo to have been a bone of contention for some con-
siderable time, the affairs in connection with the Gas
Company have been carried on in a most unburinesslike
and inconsistent manner, and the time had arrived for •
different system to be adopted, and a binding contract
entered into, which at present does not exist. In the
Ma/orally of Mr. Robertson the lights were nearly "non
est in the Yeomanry week, and the public lamps would
have been as bad this year as previous ones if it had not
been for the energy and determined manner of our chief
magistrate to lighten our darkness. I will strive to prove
the desirability of having a contract, the advantage to
I the town by burning by metre, as at Aberdare, Shrews-
bury, Huntingdon, Redruth, Sutton and Hooton.
Llandudno. Ayr, and other towns ; but we need not do so
If discretionary power was given to this Board of lighting
and extinging. Ile went on to speak øf the colli-
mates recommending Sugg's 4-ft. regulator, which is a
metre in itself, that the number of hours be 2,731 for the
to be
lighted, and if not, an allowance to be made by
company. Another fatal error was in giving full
discretionary power to the Gas Manager to light and
extinguish the lamps. It was • fabrication to say his
object was to get the town lighted by petroleum, though
be bad written to one or two places, and received from
the Town Clerk of Winchester • very satisfactory reply.
Mr. Wallis then traced the history of the public lamps
question from April, 1870, when Mr. Councillor Aylee was
deputed by the Board to meet the manager of the Gas Corn'
F=The number of Lampe is 278, to urn 2731 hours per
. , one at Dock stew had not been lighted for 12
months. There were also 221 not givincligit averaging
31 hours per night, " but' said Mr. Walls' I have only
reckoned them at 3 hours per night giving the benefit of
8181 hours to the company, making 873 hours at 41 t. per
hour, equal to 3,4112 feet of gas; but if the 2181 hours were
added, and the quantity of gas 1,354 ft., which the town
pays for but does not receive. It may 'be argued that if
the lights go out, the gas is lost to the company. It may
be so; but if we pay for lighted lamps, we are net
supposed to pay for them to pour forth an obnoxious vapour
and this substantiates my sugication that we ought to have
the control ef thel amps within the j urisdicton of Una board,
that the public may enjoy the benefit for which they pay."
Mr. Wallis made &detailed statement to chow the number
of hours by 315 hours 2 minutes, multiply this by four, it
will give 1,340 ft of gas, then multiply 1,340 ft. by 278 the
number of lamps, and it will chew us we have not burnt
what we ought by 172,5201 t., in one year, and this year is
a more satisfactory one, in respect to the lighting than the
two preceding. In conclucion be could go no far as to say
we ought not to be paying more than LI Ers. per lamp. On
one part of the estimate alone, they were paying
£4113 12a. &I too much, as would be found by comparing

After discussion, it was agreed that the Superintendent
should engage some one to help him in the work.
The Karon seconded the motion, and it was carried.
THE HOSPITAL AT ROCK'S FIELD.
On the proposition of Mr. W•LKHR, seconded by Mr.
THOMAS, it was agreed that the hospital on the other side

and the tenancy of Mr. Hurdle's land be terminated.
TITS SULPHO-ANIIONIACAL SMELL
A letter was read from Captain Otway and Captain
Russell, to the following effect :
"Shanklin.view, Rodwell,
"June 10th, 1878.
"Sir—We, the undersigned, having • senoras muse of cam.

request that proceedings may be taken by you under the Local
Health Act to compel the convoy to remove the ammoniacal

only after giving notice to the inhabitants when such removal
is requisite. We further request that you will inform the Gs.

this state of things muses to the town, both in • pecuniary and
sanitary point of view. We hare the honour toe, sir,
KOTTARD °TRAY,
C. J. Rimed% Capt., 8.5."
Mr. WALLIS said the vessel which took away the liquor
brought water in her tanks for ballast, and discharged it
into the Harbour. It was contaminated with the smell,
and this caused the nuisance.
Mr. Titoism explained the great trouble the GU COW.
pSay had been at to obviate the nuisance, and said that
they were now erecting apparatus to manufacture
ammonia from the liquor, so that it would not have to be
taken away.
MP. WALLIS haying asked for SOME accounts from the
Company, objected to them produced, and stated his
determination to fine the Company if they did not give a
correct account.

CHRIST CHURCH PATEMILArT.
A letter MIA read from the Rev. Talbot Greaves and
Major Sykes, complaining of the state of the public foot-
path outside the church.
It was resolved to hays it repaired.

SCARCITY OF NAVAL ARTIFICER/I, The want of

AWKWARD ACCIDENT IN A I.4I;AItRY. —Last week a
young man named Comben nephew of Mr. E.
Ciomben, of the Local Boarl, went down as usual
Into a quarry at the lower end of Wakeham, by mean'
of the rope* When near the bottom he jumped down,
but struck the front of his body against the hook at
the end of the rope, and it tore part of the flesh. It
vu sewn up by Dr. Rae, and be is now getting better,
for though the injuries were of a kind that might
have been very dreadful, they were providentially not
so severe as was feared.
THE LIGHTING Or WARMAN. —At the Local Board
meeting on Monday, some members of the Board
thought that one main would be sufficient for the Gas
Company to lay down. The street there is so wide
(close on 40 yards) that we believe the company will
find it advisable to lay two mains, or we shall have the
spectacle of lamps at a distance of 70 or 80 yards, and
only at one side of the broad road.
THE Wang SUPPLY Or CHIOSIL —IL has been feared
lately that some accident had happened to the pipes
which supply Chesil with water. The Local Board in
committee investigated the matter, on Monday even-
log, and found that there was then sufficient water.
The Inhabitants attributed this to the fact that they
do not draw during Sunday, and that thus it had
accumulated; but we may state that Gibbs has in-
spected the pipes, and taken care that any &mass
haa bean repaired.

—Mr . LUND'S was anxious about the matter, and had
pressed it forward, but the only answer he had heard, as
long as In was in the Council, was—" There is no money."
He had asked the Harbour-master what number of yachta
came into the harbour during the past year, and he found
they were 72, with • tonnage of 2441. That ought to urge
them to carry out the plans, the Surveyor had submitted
his own, having seen the plans of Sir John Coode,
concrete had been found more durable than stone, and
altogether Mr. Lundie pressed for • commencement, mite
did not see any moon to believe the Harbour fund would
be ever better, pecuniarily, than now.
In answer to Mr. Watxsa, the Town Clerk said it
would he illegal to take the money tram any other but the
Harbour fund,
Mr. Titensil wasfor carrying out the existing resolution
to spend £5OO from the current account.
'1 he Term Cumit stated that the surplus income of the
Harbour fund was about .1300 • year.
Mr. HowaiLD said every one knew—about the income of
the Harbour and thedilliculty, and they wavelet-tiny oppor-
tunities pass. The only way to make this a yacht resort
was not only to carry out the pier but to clear out the
rooks inside the extension, and let the yacht' lie there,
when we should be able to rival Dartmouth. Let the mem-
bers of the Council, being public men, give a personal

Mr. Surrr was rather in favour of the guarantee ; he
