Upon the whet he heilevoi the la did. aerie as illidurdays

of this year's pushy thew hod been any Lige Wind, and
would so doubt AM • Lep pee& to die company. Be
believed the =headed nine of the refariment moo
would abundently justify the wialsy whisk bed Una la-
purred opus them. The CO M& Omit wee ea object of
great interest and ettreeties to many perms, and the col-
lection, which wee very velvishis. was oily last. It could
only have haw abased by a penes oorouant with the 'ob-
ject, sod that purees it had been asoassary to engage a. so-
perinteuilent. The expense of the *pertinent had keen
greatly reduced, and it we under sossideralion whether it
should be alioned or net Kr. Pembina hod complained
of the salaries of superintendents for Me agrienheral and
the different deparests d mechicary ; but the whole of
the superinten&oce was emacestratol in ow pales, who
wee little more than a clerk nosing • very melt foamy.
With regard to the mmiaWon on the picture Wes, wan
flood more profitable to pay a comedeeks thee salaries.
The estabbelimmt of the picture gantry had bees very
uphill work. Thy were, however, pawing droner by
degrees, and it wee gratifying to him to find that the trans-
actions for the year to the department loft them a balance.
With regard to the differences with the Brighton Oompany
and the power of the arbitrator to go into certain Aetna of
the dispute, the opening of the Victoria station, and the
arnumemente consequent thereon, dienieithed M • great
dupes the importance of them questions. The visitors to
the Palace from the West-end paid their fare to the railway
sampan), and their admirers to lb. Palate ; and he believed
that arrangement would Mud to the beseit of the com-
pany, sad at the same time have ae impcwiset effect
opus the arrangements at Me City-end. It was
the police of the directions to act in larmony
with the ffrighton Company, which. they should always
ea endvour to do. It was true the board had so nos to
incur the expense of 7,001 ff. cm account of the rdrotharent
rooms without the consent of the shareholders, and it was
even now open to them to refine to saoction the outlay ;
but it *bould be remembered at the last meeting the ques-
tion was mooted, mid no word of dissent was offered. He
did not think it advisable to obtain the ~pinion of an archi-
tect as to the stability of the building, the based haring no
doubt upoa that point themselves; and there was no doubt,
if they called in an architect, be would find 'plenty to do,
and there would be • drain upon capital account for works
which the board believed to be whoily unnmeawary. The
expenditure upon indwichweed bad been incurred seem-
esp.,: under the tense of their lame; at the some tune the
btublimp yielded .6 pee cent. rented plus the pound rental
put upon the bond. It was arpected that a portion of the
Loot ould yet be required for the railway, but if not,
there was so doubt it would shortly let advantageously
on building beam The appease ewer of interest
oa debenture stock arose frets the fact that when the
amounts were made up lad year no interest led seemed
upon the increased delmattues, whereas bow they case is
to the regular annual sharp. The Ashton had bees as
unfortunate speculatiou, but an wr~yreot hail bees re-
cently suede Ls which • would removed and the
rest let to the Walked of the Woodman, who was to pay •

sad keep them in repair. The land u•, the freehold of tile

Mut indica was then pot awl eirried unanimously.
Mr. *TIMM urged • more liberal payment of the dirge-
tors. without which they could not eipeet them to give
their tone and attention to the mulagement to such an ea.

gestlenies of the standing of their lire, toralol. a mow sad
