FAREWELL OF THE REV. E. BOLTON.

Last Sunday, the Rev. K. Bolton. who has for sight
years ministered at Gioncesterstrest Chapel, preached his
lest sermons here, In the morning selecting his text from
These 1..,. 15—" Brethren, pray for us." He included the
minister who is to come in his request for prayers, and for
himself stated that he expected the charge be bad under

In the evening the chapel was filled, and after Bevies
in the usual orele hat been proceeded with, the rev.
gentleman said: I ant not here to make any attempt at
preaching a great or speed sermon. My intention to-
night is just to utter • few pasting thoughts, and my
personal eelines would unfit me for dealing with anything
like comfort or power upon • special tople. I shall take as
my amt. • few words from the end verse of the Bib chapter
of Deuteronomy. "Thou shalt remember all the way
which the Lord thy God led thee." The preacher, in the
counts of Ids sermon mid; These are the words spoken by
Masse to the people of his charge, and the words are both
seasonable and necessary. You see from the context that
he had sow come to the close of his ministry, he knows
that be is about to be removed from the people amongst
whom he had minititers& and the moots are not far from
the end ether cdleimage, so with Mesas at the dose 01

People. You will see then there lea certain fitnees in my
taking such went* as the belie of my address to-night My
ministry is now at Its close in this place, I speak for the
last time to you who have been the people of my
charge. I do not speak to those who have come
from other congregations to-night; I speak to my own
while I can esti them my own. The words are suitable
" Then shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy
Gnii bath led thine.'
The first thing them words limb us is the great truth
that God leads His peonle. In Israel's wonderful history
methinks the moat ordinary reader must see the hand.

them, but God; Moms was only • servant of God in what

definite reognhtion in • history so stoking as theirs that
God leads His emote, and brethren, the one thing I want
remm i you of to-night Is that Divine leading has ever
been the great fact in the history of the Church, not only
septet. Moes, but node the prophets, in nearer times,
under apostles, in the early days of the Christian Church,
under those wto were the first witnesses for Christ, under

Aye we often forgst this we think too mach of the man
and too little or Him in Whom. name he ministers to us,
the eye, of the preemie are on Moses, and their hearts too;
rather than on God. It should not be so; the Church of
God hail never pawed through her trials es she hu, never
triumphed over difficultiee its she he. bed never gained
those victories for the truth of God which she has gained,
tont fee the fee that God was with her, that when men
failed He was faithful, when the arm of flesh helped net
help came from on hish. And the tenth holds good etili,
that which is true itom not wear out: if the saints in
ancient time realised the truthfulness of Divine leading,
there ehou'd be no doubt In them times about it; He
ahideth faithful. Ile leads the Chord, to-day as truly as
He did in the dare gone by. In the history of this parti-
cular Chnrih it has leen so. Brethren, you have had a
long met ,re, and did One permit I might go into that
history a 1-ttle, sari trace it back to Beeson, of persecution
and dip-knees ; I might mark the limp, by which you, as
.Christian Church, have been brought, and! think !should

the truth lens Irving to remind you of to-night—that God

He will lead you; if He has been with us at all during

upon Hoes ; do not think of the human leading think
ever mom and more of the Divine. And ii God leads His
People, then the text mereste thus crit !limply this great
truth; It sweats the way in which Gni has already led
His people; the put is not to be toe throngh your forget-
fulness: It is • history. Remember all the way; it is •

way is which thy God has been leaditut thee for these
years, thou art throwing away one of the moot precious
portions of thine heritage; for lon neglect one of Gol's

Israel's cue, and in your, also, the way was God's; but then
the people had something to do with it. The way was one
of mystery ; not &leave what the people egpeoi.ed, not
what they desired. The preacher went on to point out

The Town CLERK having stated the business

(Applause.) Some years since it was thought
the proper thing to yearly change the Mayer; it had its
advanteges, and whether or not there were more gentle-
men then desirous of filling the office, he did not know;
bet of late they hid fallen into a dilemma custom • the
Mayoralty of one year seemed to be the stepping ststfe for
carrying Certain Improvements in the town in whkh he
was greatly interested, and Yuctt was, he took it, the came
with the present Mayor. They would remember he laid
before them the reborn° of very considerable improve-
ments, the particulate of ehich they had read in the
papers ; those improveuienta had been for the present laid
wide by the decision of the L cal Government Board with
respect to the borrowing of mosey ; but they were thought
very desirable, in order to olam Weymouth in the front
rank as a watering-place. One or two had been the special
care of the Mayor, and although the Council had helped
him in carrying it out, he would point to one clomp at
band. No one in crowing the bridge at the present
moment but must ccostrsat the narrow, and uncomfore
able affair we had before, with the greatly improved one
we have now. The Mayor guided them and insisted this
wee • desirable improvement, and not on I y so, an absolute
necessity, and the improvement there we mainly owe to
his perseverance in carrymt it through. He bad no time
to go into other matter., but he felt no one had more at
heart the welfare of the town than our /Present worthy
Mayor. His fitness for presiding on the Bench had been
shown, and also his fitness tor presiding sometimes over
very unruly members in the Council—air. WALLIS

ruly.) Mr. Lunche knew no man better fitted than he foe
carrying out the duties of the office of Mayor, knowing
Iris courtesy and his willingness to listen to any summation.
Therefore, though he might ba a little despotic, Ids
despotism was of the mildest kind. He would like to refer
to the news of the removal of one who was well-known to
us—he spoke of their old friend Mr. Henry Hasn't, who,
at well as another townsman, hen been removed from hie
sphere of labour to, he hoped, a place of meet. Hoeing
know him publicly, as well as privately for many years,
he hastened to express his regret that he had been taken
from as. (Heer. hear) It wee now with great pleasure

ydr, Councillor CRUMBS seceeded the election of Mr.

The Towle CLZIIIi having asked If there was any counter

to three cheers for the Mayor, bat was recanted
Aa already • mastics of the peace, the Mayor had not
to take the oath of &Iberians again.
Tim lIIALICrEn MATOII then returned thanks for
this renewal of their clofiience. It was a proud
thing to be Mayor of this ancient borough; but
prouder still that after the expiration of 12 months
they should express their sinfidence in him and carry
out that oonfidence by re-electing him. Re would do
everything possible to merit that confidence and he
thanked them for the way in which they had
conducted, while he bad guided, the business of the
past year. Every subject had been dieouesed to its
utmost, showing that ill hod the interests of the
borough at heart, and only differed in the way of show.
lag it with due regard to the interests of the rate-
payers. Very Sony should hobs if in any subject the
tatersits of the ratepayers were disregarded • the
Ore mooed smog their body foam of the bigot

ratepayers of the borough, and taxation affects them
as
much as any one outside the Cooncil Chamber, and
lsimt ie a safeguard to the public that their interests
will taken care of. Their interesta are also interwoven
with those of the borough, DO that they could not act
otherwise, even if it mitered their brains to do so, and
the motto of the 24 who form the Local Parliament
k—Give place to nom in having the Interest of
the borough at heart. The suggestions made had
come from their own beset.; many they had
themselves brought before the council, and he himself
scarcely merited the kind expressions which Mr.
Alderman Lonrho was so good as to utter. No doubt
be IMO one of his oldest friends, and as a young
man one of the first friends he knew was Mr. Landis;
he would therefore put down to the true reason,
friendship, what he had said. The Major next ex-
pressed his hearty thanks to the colonel of the 14th
regiment, and his brother officers who daring the
whole time they had been in the neighbourhood, had
so kindly lent their beautiful band. (Applause.) No
application made daring the past twelve mouths had
been refuted ; hut they bed even inoonvenisocedthem-
Nelms to scale to it. The naval authorities must not
be forgotton, whether it was for our regatta or any.
thing else, ivory application to them had nese met in
the kindest manner. Next his Worship thanked the
°Moses of the borough, who had done their beet, and
first of all the Two Clerk, for hie attention to the
varioue legal questions, for in nothing had a want of
attention been shown, or of willingness in carrying
out his duties. The borough surveyor was next
thanked, sodas to what he had done be should go more
into detail; the inspector, of nuisances, an old inhabi-
tant, had endeavoured in every shape and form to
carry out the duties of his office, and in the coming
year, having regard to the increased size of the town,
he hoped be would bring his experience to bear on some
plan that its demolition may be maintained and
improved. The harbourmaster had brought nau-
tical skill to bear, and over 20.000 tons of sand
and gravel bad been removed from our harbour,
showing it is being deepened, while of
that.
15 000 or 16,000 tons of stuff have been deposited
on the corner piece, on the other side, which
I. rapidly becoming • large piece of land, while the
expenditure had been kept within due limits. As for
the superintendent of police, he bed the simple eon.
Unuation of that support he richly deserved; he carried
out unpleasant duties in • m Tafel way, and brought
refore the Court what the Home Secretary said ought
to be done by every counsel and solicitor--all the fads
and as was said on that great trial, he would Nun:
nothing at all that may tend to the lomat
prisoner, even though it may seem to bear against the
Prosecution's case. The surveyor's report would show
the work they had to do in the year. Keay thing'
they would do for the inhabitants at MOS; bat the
ratepayers must be considered; they meld only halift
such rates as the ratepayers could pay, not crumb
the poor, nor injure the rich by extravagance. Many
parties think this or that should be done; but the
rd have to spend the money for the beet, had .g
due regard to economy. It must bea satisfaction that
the increase of property, the new buildings having to
bear the proportion of rates, have been the means of
enabling the Council not to increase the rating' which
must otherwise have been doos. He would read an
outline of what had been accomplished under the
borough surveyor during the meet year. For Public
hapeomments, detailed elms. Ac., had been prepared
for works amounting to £ll 000' those improvements
were carefully considered by his predecessor la office
and the gentlemen around the board; every improve-
easot had been upheld by the town, and the question
was only of outlay. The Local Government Baird had
bad been applied to with respect to • loan, and he
used not take up up their time with the theory of •
loan' when a man erects • house be expeats • rent
year by year; by means of statute law we are ambled
to borrow money, and it is right that when works of
long duration are executed, of which those who come
after will reap the benefit, we should relieve the
prompt ratepayers and do justice to all. At the last
moment that loan had been refused upon the ground
that the town bad not carried out a particular
scheme of sewage, which the Government Board thought
wee more important than plans of improvement.
He (Mr. Howard), bad always been in favour of •
scheme being carried out; but be was pleased and
gratified that this town is not saddled as some towns
are which have raked loam, and carried out works
which have proved utter failures. We have done
nothing of the wort, and shall have the advantage of
the failures of others. (Hear, hear). Whenever the
necessity o meis, we should, he hoped, be able to carry
out a scheme not ooly properly, hat also beneficially in
every sense. It is • pleasant satisfaction to find bow
healthy our town 'has been • the reports of our
me Heal officer have been most satisfactory, and we
could almost challenge any town in a competition as
to which would be the most successful. (Applause).
When the scheme comes, we shall not take a leap in
the dark, but we will do it with hearty goodwill, and
to the best of our judgment. During the forthcoming
year the question will have to be considered, for we
cannot allow improvements to be stopped; it would be
an impossibility for • tradesman to expect his business
to go on with tbe shutters lapin trait of his place. Hay-
ing passed the question of why many of these improve-
ments have not been carried out, we come to the Pile'
Pier, the wooden portion of which has been repaired
from plans and epodfica. ions prepared by on,
Surveyor, the repairs meting neatly E 4,000 • the
Council have erected • landing jetty pier for steam-
boats, £l4O ; and additional gangway at the
landing state, E 65 the Harbour Bridge had
been altered, as Mr. Landis had referred to.
His (the Mayor's) efforts in that were supported
by the Council, true, there was some difference;
but the question was whether we should not have a
new bridge, there was no question about getting rid
of the old plan. The improvement had not been so
treat se some wished, but the present bridge one
decidedly improved, and not • penny had been thrown ,
on the 'Memos. (Hear, hear, and Interruption.)
The Mayor then went no to speak of the private
improvements, for whirl plane had been prepared—
Lennox and Derby streets, 11,015 • Walpole and
William streets, £875; the Quay wall repaired. 1237 10, ;
Wyke-road path improved, nearly CYO ; the Esplanade
improved at the crossing to the Sands, £llo' the
street close to the Market thrown open to the public,
ice. Among the improvements mentioned by the
Mayor was the new road leading over to the side of
the Gan Works, where an improvement had been
quietly and I ily made by the Board, and was very
suroseeful. n addition to these, there had been various
ordinary repairs, so the ratepayers weald consider there
had been no idle time on the part of the Council, and
be hoped they would meet with the utmost satisfaction
of the town. Mr. Alderman Thomas bad reminded
him of the notice gives to Parliament with reference
to the Pile-pier, for the purpose of improving the
entrance and erecting accommodation for excurdonists,
instead of their not knowing where to go, they will be
able to obtain shelter when the weather is unpropitious;
the band can play under shelter, and all without the
ratepayers paying • penny. The Council had also
entered into • contract with the owners of the
George Inn, the trustees of Sir Samuel Wools Charity
had met them in the fairest way, and the property
will be available for the improvement of that portion
of the harbour or quay; but it will Dot be necessary to
raise a large gum of mousey to purchaas the
became one source of income will be exchanged for
the other. In the forthcoming year serious questions
will come before the Council, they had direde. d their
attention to the outlets and inlets of the town, the
steamer accommodation bad been improved, and he
hoped the railway company will improve the arrival
station. Rogan, including the one at !indwell, require
attention, and soon, his wirehip hoped, such an im-
provement will be made there as the rasidents deserve.
The Backwater-bridge too, is a question the Council
cannot shut their eyes to, at present there is a
wooden bridge; and the parties responsible for the
repair do not see their way to put an kon bridge all
the way across the Backwater, and the question may
be, are the Council disposed to help them by decrearlog
the erlith of the Backwater there, and reclaiming •
quantity of land by the stuff dredged from the harbour?
Part of Meloombe Regis has been reclaimed from the
Backwater, and the question is—shall we make a large
reclamation there? With regard to the piece of land
so rapidly being filled up be could not help mentiooing
the name of • gentleman who has taken such a great
interest lathe town, and whose life he hoped will be
ared for • long time to omne—(great applanse)—Mr,
Edwards had said "If it is monetary for the rood of
the town' make use of me in any way you Oink best
—(renewed applause). He hoped during this year
the writhe would be so far advanced that they would
be able to take advantage of that offer. The had
taken up • large portion of their time; but he honed
they would forgive him. There were many other
matters which will occupy the attention of the 24
members of the Council; he entered on his office,
considering there had been no change in the gentlemen
around him, as a tried man with tried men, and
therefore with more satisfaction. In conclusion, he
again returned thanks.
Alderman MILLZDOS roes to perform • very pleasant
duty he bad taken part in for the poet 43 years, of
composing the cordial thanks of the Council to th•
Mayor for his services during the past year. Lips

Seconded by Mr. Alderman Emor, who spoke,
amidst applause, of the admirable way in which the
Mayor had discharged the social duties of his position.
Melted also given them excellent pieces of advice. in
the words I" Keep to the right." We had in Wey•
mouth not only sermons in stones but sermons on
lamppost., and that reminded him the Mayor not
only gave most excellent advice, but shed light on
our paths, for that very excellent lamp-post opposite
to the top of Ring-street was the gift of the Mayor.
(Applause.) He had always shown his sympathy with
the dumb creation by erecting • hydrant where homes
can get refreshed. (Applause.)
Mr Deems, with reference to the Harbour Bridge,
explained that those who opposed the present altera-
tion did so because they thought the t lame
buttresses would be detrimental to the herao'r• Hs
moved that the quarterly meetings be held on the
sawed Wednesday in February, May, and August, at
10 30.
Agreed to, Mr. Comm seconding.
Mr. WALLIS said it was the burgesses' fault they
did not attend these meetings, when trouble had beel
taken to have the doors thrown open.
Mr. CEAILLIII directed the Mayor's attention to the
dirty streets, and hoped that as the street had been
cleaned along which the Corporation had to pare to-
day, and the evil thus remedied, the streets would be
kept as clean in future. With respect to the piece of
land near the Gasehmes. he Wag apPatad to Mart •
fair in this borough, now they are being abolished
throughout the country. At the bottom of Boo&
street also there was a continual humdrum, which be
thought nowt annoy the residents.
The Mayon, in returning thanks, took pleasure In
the fact that our traffic now goes on almost parallel
lines right and left like that of London and other large
places, and only • few young people do not observe the
rule. He also referred to the improvement in the
ash-bins, and the disgust he experienced when visiting
another town early and seeing the refuse there. The
magistrates be also thanked for support, and remarked
the punctuality of the Bench most now have become ,
noted, punctuality as the clock struck the magistrates
were on the Bench, and the officers ready to begin
business. He also invited suggestions by I tier, only
making that the writers should sign ?lair nantrao

would keep them private if desired. A book is Mao
