THE DEATH OF LORD PALNEUTON.—The announce-
ment of the death of the venerable Premier came upon
the nrovinoes with startling suddenness, for, though it
had been intimated a few days previously that he was
suffering from another attack of gout, it was regarded
as a not unusual occurrence, and a malady from which
the noble lord, with his vigorous constitution, would
speedily recover. But it seeing that the first aisca an of
wint«r's cold, which we all so heartily desired as a safe-
guard against pestilence, chilled the life-blood of the old
man of eighty-one, and the nation was deprived of its
veteran statesinan before it had time to oontemplate
the possibility of its loss. This, together with universal
favour with which the noble lord was regarded, has
caused a general regret unequalled in intensity since the
death of the Prime Concert plunged the whole *mien
Into mottening.

Mr. VERNON : Would not the same objection have
held good as Alderman &AOC cow alleges against his
own plan?
After some further oonversation in reiteration of what
was said before,
Mr. VERNuN : moved and Mr. PROUD seconded that
the common seal of the borough be affixed to the con-
tract with Mr. Wellspring,
Mr. ANDREWS said lie hoped that for the future when
business was done it would be noted in writing, which
would prevent a great deal of confusion, and save a great
deal of time.
The M ',Yoe concurred with Mr. Andrei, s on that
point, but said he must remark in justice to the Touts
Clerk thal he had always urged up,n the members the
Importance of doing no.
Mr. ANDRI.WS then moved—" That the contracts be-
tween the Council and Mr. J. Wellspring for building
the proposed new oorn exchange and making the pro-
jetted alterations in the ;resent butcher's-and other
markets be not accepted :-1. Because the proceedings
at the last meeting of the Council, relative thereto,
are contrary tz the provieions of 5 and 6 Wm. IV.,
chap, 16, s. 09. 2. That the plena now produced are
In opposition, and do not carry oil . the recommendation
of the General Purposes Committee of the 7th June,
1861. 3. Because the adoption of the present plans
will entail upon the ratepayers a borough rate."
Perhaps it would be most convenient flr biln to state
the grounds of his amendment in the order he had
given them. They had heard what Alderman Ensor
had %said, and they would give his observatons the
weight they thought proper whatever it might be--
little or much. He contended that there was no report
from the committee placed before the Council, and
asked to look at the minutes of the meeting, after
pernsipg which, he said he did not Red there a report
from the committee of any sort or kind,
Mn PROUD I The matter was understood,
Mr. ANDREWS said that he did not find in the
minutes anything upon the aubject that would bear
out any such instruction, and looking at the 695.
of the sth and 6th Wm. IV., c. 76, it required
that there was notion to be given three clear
days and there was to be a summons sent to
every member a the Council, and in the summons
must be specified the business to be transacted, and
that no banners should be transacted at such meeting
other than that specified in the notice. That was his first
objection. He said that there was no report presented
at that meeting, and he said so because he had had it
said to him at the Connoileable over and over again of
late, "The report situ only read lit was not ordered
to be adopted." Mr. Symonds will no doubt show you
what was said at the last meeting as to the report of
the mem inittee.
The Tows emetic : I have nothing at all upon the
minutes as to the report, because there was no formal
report prepared.
Mr. ANDREWS said then he waa right—there was no
report made or read, and suoh being the Use, he held
that she Council was not competent to entertain the
question as to the tenders. He was very clear in his
own mind th.t the iCounoil would be going very much
beyond their duty if they confirmed the couterot under
the proceedings that had been taken. He now come to
his second objection, whigh he thought would deserve
their urinal attention. He would drat ask which and
what were the plant to be adopted:
Mr. Flemb inquired whether it was neceisaey to
bring forward the plans again ; Mr. Andrews had very
carefully inspected them, and be recollected that on one
occasion he would not allow anybody to point out any-
thing to him, but would enter into the details himself.
/In ANDREWS said he was glad Mr. Proud had made
that observation as it gave him the opportunity of
stating that at the committee meeting referred to, he
asked Er. Hall whether or not the magi.trates' room,
the muniment room, do., shown by the plan then in
the Council room to be provided in the Corn Exchange
were to be carried out, and he decidedly told him and
he learnt for the first time that they were not. He
beggd to say that be had never seen the plans now upon
the table, and that they were not laid before the C An-
mittes that night, or at any committee meeting or
council meeting, Mr. Hall told him that the specifica-
tions did somprise a muniment room, ko., but be had
struck them out with pencil. He (Mr, Andrews)
wanted to Ithow when the plans now produced were
pot before the Committee, and *heti the alterations
were made. If they had been done at a oonardittee of
Council meeting he had had no notiue of such meetings,
and he was sure that had such meeting been called the
Town Clerk, who ems no correct in those matters, would
have sent him notice.
The TUWN CLERK said the plane now before, the
Council were merely the working drawings. At a
prefious meeting the alterations were made, and the
general design approved, from whieh Mr. Hall pmpared
those working drawings.
Mr. ANDREWS: Then I understand that these are not
the plane,
Mr. PROUD: They are the working drawings.
Mr. ANDREWS: Then lam still right in saying these
are not the plans produced to the Counsel.
The Mayo& : But not in the impression you wish to
convey.

suppoaed he wished to convey, that was the plan that
he (the Mayor) had signed as chosen by the Council.
What was the impression any person would receive on
looking at that plan except that there was to be a

Mr. PROUD remarked that the muniment room was
not to be carried out at present.

LOSS'S MISSIONARY SOCIETY. A meeting On
behalf of this Society was held on Wednrsiay evening
In the schoolroom of the Congregational Church, South-
street. Dr. Lockhart attended as a deputation. He
gave some very interesting inbrinstion with respect to
China as a sphere of missionary labour. He alluded to
its ancient and in many respects advanced eivilisttion
as, nothwithstanding this, very deplorable. He gave
some very interesting particolare concerning his own
work in Shanghai and Pekin, in connection with
hospitals opened several years ago in these chief cities
of the country, by the London Missionary Society. It
was very plea.ing to hear his account of the way in
which gospel truth has hen brought before multitudes of
sick parsons and their friends, who have In increasing
numbers some to them h ,spitals, the object of Dr.
Lockhart and his coadjutors being not only to do good
to the bodies of their patients, but also to bring blessing
though the knowledge of Chri4 to their souls. His
address was liatenel to throughout with great interest.
At the close a collection was made on behalf of the
society for which Dr. Lockhart had so ably and earnestly
pleaded.
