COMMISSIONERS' MEETING:

The monthly meeting of this body was held at the
at the Core Exchange, on Wednesday afternoon last;
Mr. Akroyd in the chair. There were also present
Messrs. Collis, Packwood, Billingham, Thorne, Newuam,
and Richards.
The Clerk read the minutes of the last meeting, which
were confirmed.
The next business was the passing of the bye-laws.
Mr. Richards moved---" That the bye-laws be passed, and
that the seal of the Board be affixed to them.'
Mr. 11. Newnam seconded the motion, which was car-
ried unanimouely.
The Clerk reported that he had had an interview with
the Agent of the Telegraph Company, with reference to
the providing of a room on the Commissioners premises
for the Company. It was the opinion of the agent that
it would be bet-ter to have a room on the opposite side
from the ante-room of the Corn Exchange ; and in order
to facilitate matters he had obtained tenders of the cost
for the preparation of such room. It was resolved, that
on the receipt of a letter from the Telegraph Company,
agreeing to take the room for three years, the clerk be
instructed to have a room prepared in accordance with
the tenders furnished by Mr. Ife:. . -

The Chairman then called attention to the state of
the late Highway Surveyors' accounts, to whom the
Commissioners under the new Town Act succeeded. It
appeared from the accounts furnished by the Collector
that he was indebted to the Commissioners in the sum
of £1 its 2W.

The Chairman suggested that the Commissioners
should express themselves content if that amount was
paid over ; and he thought they might congratulate '
themselves and the ratepayers upon the fact that what
at one time appeared a very unsatisfactory state of things
was likely to come to so satisfactory a termination.
The Chairman's suggestion was agreed to.
The tender of Mr. William Green, uttering to paint,
the Corn Exchange and the butchers' shambles for
the sum of £2l for the former, and flti for the latter was
accepted.
The Chairman thought it was desirable in a public
body like this to present an address of congratulation to
the Queen on the providential escape of the Duke of
Edinburgh. He need not make any observations to in-
duce them to unanimously adopt that course. No doubt
it was a very dastardly attempt—the assassin firing at
the prince from behind, which was a planner with all
cowards. The address, he thought, ought to express
their detestation of that act, and their thankfulness that
the attempt proved unsuccessful
Mr. Taylor, the Clerk, said that he had drawn up the
following address :
" To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty.

"May it please your Majesty, we, your Maje4ty's loyal
subjects, the Stourbridge Improvement Commissioners,
now assembled at their usual moothly meeting, humbly
desire to expreAs t• year Maj or abhorthice of the
crime recently committed—the attempted assassination
of his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh while on

TO THE ELECTORS

OF THE
EASTERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY
OF WORCESTER.

GENTLEMEN,—
THE lamented death of Lord Calthorpe, and
1 the consequent elevation of the Honourable F. 11,
IV. G. Calthorpe to the House of Peers, having caused a
VACANCY in the Representation of East Worcester-
ahire, I venture to otfor myself as u Candidate for tho
Seat, and to solicit your soppott.
I trust that in the event of my election, you will find
Inc 00 less consistent in the maintenance of Liberal

principles than your late representative. I readily
pledge myself to a general support of Mr. Gladstone, a
Statesman in whose honesty and ability I have every
confidence. In the action he has recently taken w:th
respect to the I rids Church, I heartily agree, and I all
assist to the best of my ability in carrying out the
proposal he has laid before Parliament.
I view with great satisfaction the present movement in
favour of a more extended system of education. I have
DO objection to the principle of compulsory edueation,
while admitting the great difficulties that lie ni the way
of a beneficial application of it. In this crisis I believe
a more vigorous measure than the one introduced by
Government is urgently needed.
In conclusion, I venture to hope that the long and
close connection of my Family with this county may, iu
some measure, recommend me to you as a Candidate,
and I beg to assure you of my best eudeavoura to
promote the various interests of this important con-
stituency.

I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
CHARLES GEORGE LYTTELTON.
