The adoption o 4 the report was moved by Mr.
Beeerre with the addendum that the deputation

Mr. Deveiristr wished to know if he intended to
delegate the power of the Council to others.
Certainly not, Mr. Beeterrr maid, but he thought
they would be of great assistant*, and it would be
plowing a compliment to them.
Subsequently Mr. Burnett agreed to make another
resolution of his addendum.

agreed with the committee thet it ehould be carried
out at once, but he thought they should act with some
degree of consistency in their business tranotactiena

not object to it, he inertly se ditto' oust the incon-

He thought it only fair. Mr. POPE said, that he
should say that he only withdrew his resolution on the
express statement of the Town Clerk that it could not

other plans could be altered without any much notice
as it was stated would he required, he certainly

might have been adopted wills- out any ouch great

Mr. GRPX:ORT merely jointed out the incongisteney
with which they were acting as a public Maly.
Mr. Beam err : Which we have been accused id

The Nfavout was sorry to hear Mr. Gregnry making
objections. He was one of shemembersi of the 11111 l ittee
whose recommendations he criticiaeol. And lie slid say

that although it was true they heel removed tome of

yet there was no reason why at 'wine future time if
they required it, the other should net also he. adapted
to the purpose ; and then the whole plan if the Council
would he adopted in its entirety.
I think I have a right to reply, said Mr. Gistoonv.
who, at nwe rnse, The May. had told him he had
absented himself from attending the meetimee. He
thenght all gentlemen wood,' admit Ise had attended
every one, until that last meeting. He Ittel niv en the

away and disregarded, and therefore he thought it was
a useless wastelof time to attend, when, what he had
ffingzested was rejected. He still maintained the plan
had been altered altogether. It was not like the one
s&-mitted to the Council "tie particle. They had
shifted the position of the ground altogether.
Mr. T. Brverrr thought it very singular Mr.
Gregory ehoulol stay away all at eitee when thin new
committee wee chosen.
No one could say, Mr. SLADE remarked, but that
the present plans were a great improvement upon the
44,1 one..
Mr. Honors should like to ask whether the plan
aeveeted by Mr. Gregory had been placed before the
committee anti disciteeed.

EIH:CATIONAL "WHIPS'

A letter was read by the Mayor from the high

that as we have not one of those miserably oppressive
