feel that the utmost attention had been given by Mx.
Eliot to the proper climbers* of the duties of the oleos •
be had done so to the hest of his ability and to the satis:
facCon of the town. Tait is so patent that say extended
remarks would be out of piste, and Mr. Robins was
satisfied every member of the Board rould feel that the
Mayor passing out of office wagoner wbt had done his duty
to the fullest extent. (Applause.)
Mr. Alderman ATLI:SUMP Me to endorse the remarks
made. During tbe pad two years no man weld have
acted the gentleman more than Mr. Eliot had. Veins
times there had been around the Board; but every one
mud admire his gentlemanly conduct. He had striven to
advance the interest. of the town commercially, the
Cberbourg traffic had benefitted the harbour fund
immetteely. far by means of the steamers the Council had
received £5.8110 above the amount which used to be
collected for the harbour fond. The immense sum of
£20.000 per annum is spent by the Jersey and
steamboats, and this, not only benefits householders,
the man who tells pork, bacon, and eheese—paeOter„and
hear, heart—the working man also benefits. Therefore
the late Mayor is entitled to the thaake of the Council for
the very merge* manner in which he had fostered the
steamer traffic, and clone everything he could to keep the
boats runnier. Difficulties exist with regard to the depth
of the harbour; but the Council have tried to deepen It,
and he hoped they would go on till it will almit vessels
drawing the 6 feet or even 20 feet of water, for from out
geogrephkal position we may fairly expect •large Increase
of Made.
The vote of thanks to Mr. Eliot was then put and
heartily carried.
The llaYol thanking Mr. Eliot for the bright

Tbe Retiring MAYOR., in returning thanks. acknow-
lodged the loyal and heart. tion he had received
from es cry member of the Board. lie was not aware of
any single word but what had been spoken in the most
kindly manner towards himself. Also he acknowledged
the hearty assistancn and co-operation of his htt
malist,atom, of the Magistrates Clerk, the Town Clerk,
and officers of the Corporation. On • previous occadoe
he had referred to the police of this town, and the very
good fortune we had in securing the services of the
superintendent, and did not know a maxi more earnest,
able, zealous, en I intelligent in the performance of his
duties than S ipt Vickery. (Applause.) On a similar
occiodin. 12 months ago, they were lamenting the dooms*

one would, incite faithfully, more sedulously, and he m bt
say, with greater ability, hoes carried out doodads+ of is
position than Mr. Petty Hooper. (Applause.) He con-
gratulated the Meyer upon his return to the chamber, to
which the whole of the Cimincil hailed bis return, and also
UDOO helot elected to the p-nu ii coition of Mayor. Mr.
Hon.,' was no rl 'vice; hot ho would find some of the
very great difficulties w bleb formerly stood In the way are
being removed. la the first place had been settled that
monstrous question of the Pile Pier; the bondholders had
very properly provided the fuels for the repair; then we
had only to step out of the hall to see thtt the Council
have undertaken the repair of the bridge; they have done
wisely in not listening to the very powerful and seducing
arguments advanced for the putpenement of the work, or
a larger scheme. The Cherbourg steamers are of Immense
importance, and the Corporation have done wisely in
Nattering that traffic most remulerative to the town. But
the Mayor bed reminded them improvements; must still
go on, mid before the Council is a somewhat extensive
scheme which will require the Mayor's care and energy to
see it caoied out. In face of these improvements be
rambled them of the Board', financial position. Going
haat seven years, the debt tilltt amounted to £33,000 in
two but now it only £25.569, so we are reducing the
capital debt about £l,OOO a year. In an inverse ratio, an
improvement financially is ging on, for the assessable
value of the borough, • few years as° only £42 000, is now
£47,000, so while the burdens are decreadng, the ratepay-
log value of the town is steadily Increasing. As to the
judicial business during ths last pear only three commit-
ments had taken place from dila Beech, while seven years
ago there were no less than 33; and last year only 80 cases
if druukennees proceeded easin.t, whereas four years tufo
there were 114 in the twelvemnit This speaks well for
the efficiency of the italic*, and also for the advantages
which the Educational Act has brought the country, slam
crime In the province* sod rural districts seems steadily
decreasing. For the flattering remarks of 111. r. Alderman
Milledge and Mr. R Mena be was extremely obliged; be
bad let: undone many things he ought to have doom and
every one learns by experhoic how frsil we POOr mortals
are, how little we can do when we 'tries to do our best.
But he bad striven t teeters,. the dignity of the chair. and
to hand it down as be received it from his predecessor—
(hear, boar)—and hero dilonle hop, the present 'Lim. will
have health and strength, as Ito had the will and ability,
to carry out the duties he had taken upon himself during
the coming year. (Applause).
