Mr. Alderman HARVEY said he did not know whether he
should be in order in making any motion upon the speech
delivered by Mr. Langworthy.

The CHAIRMAN said he was sure the Council would be
glad to listen to him.
Mr. Alderman HARVEY then said, he thought there was
one point in respect of which, though Mr. Langworthy was
generally correct. he was wrong, and that was as to con-
tinuing the services of any one when they were beneficially

and efficiently discharged. Now when they had a member
of parliament who performed his duty well, the electors
were very glad at having the opportunity of re-electing that
member of parliament, and they had done so from time to
time in that borough. So he thought when an alderman
had efficiently fulfilled his duties to the council and to th
borough, it was the duty of the Council to re-appoint hir
from time to time (hear, hear). It did not b

them t

elect a man of inferior attainments, when they could secure
the services of a gentleman who had discharged them with
great efficiency on former occasions (hear, hear).
Ma. CHODWICK thought the highest honour that could
be conferred upon him had been paid to Mr Longworthy,
inasmuch as he was elected to the office of Alderman by the
unanimous votes, not only of the Council, but of the burges-
ses, (hear, hear). And it was because the burgesses were
under the impression that modesty would prevent Mr.
Longworthy from consenting again to accept the office the

requisittons were got up, (hear, hear). The burgesses
signed the requisitions, because they thought there was no
one in the Borough so well qualified for the office, or so
highly entitled to that honour, (applause).
Tho subject then dropped.

SANITARY PRECAUTION

The Town CLERK (Mr. Gibson) said, it had been con-
sidered requisite to put a notice on the paper respecting the
sanitary precautions that had been taken in the borough,
least circumstances might render it necessary, or the council
might be desirous, of having a report concerning sanitary im-
provements effected, or in progress. However, the Mayor
went out of the town and he (the Town Clerk) had not re-
ceived instructions to make a -written report on the subject.
However, he might state that a meeting of the General
Paupers Committee had been held, at which it was resolved
to appoint a special Sanitary Committee, to carry out the
powers possessed by the various local authorities. That
was done in consequence of the issuing of the re-
cent order of the Privy Council respecting sanitary
precautions. Amongst the members of the special com-
committee were the chairman and deputy-chairman of the
Nuisance, Lamp, Highway, and Watch Committees, all of
whom bad certain sanitary nowPrg Pntrusfnd 4."." rrh.
authorities of the neighbouring township of Pendleton
were also acting in unison with the official committee.
Almost every house in the borough was in the course of
being visited, and nuisances were continually being removed.
The hoard of guardians were also co-operating with the
Town Council. The whole of the sanitary authorities and
officers in the borough are working in conjunction, and as
one combined force (hear, hear). He apprehended that tha
principal grounds of complaint in the shape of nuisances
would' in a few days either have been removed or be in
course of removal. _ _ _ _ _

Mr. Alderman HARVEY said, he was one of those ap-
pointed to visit parties, in 1829, when the cholera made its
first appearance. He then visited something like 500
dwellings. At that time the boroughreeve, constables, and
churchwarden, granted a portion of the money, under their
controul, in providing additional clothing for the poor.
Something like 300 or 400 pairs of blankets, besides other
articles of comfort, were distributed amongst the necessitous,
by those who had charge of Booth's charity. The town was
now in a condition much superior to that in which it then
was ; the streets were in a much better state, a great
additional amount of drainage having been effectually carried
out. And he hoped and trusted that they should not have
such grounds of apprehension, as to the fatal results of the
cholera, should it again visit the borough, as they had on
the occasion to which he referred. He mentioned that, so
that parties might not feel unnecessary alarm on the subject.
(Hear.) He was satisfied that cleansing and ventilation
would be a great means of preventing the growth and
spread of the cholera.
