Mr. Miller pointed out a few particulars in thehuilding
of the tower, which seethed to him ridiculously absurd.
Mr. John Wilson gave, notiep ,that he. should move_ next
Week, that,the'baildingandwisitiug dotamitteeconsist of the
whole board without exception.
The Chairman said that that notice of motion did not
come very well from a member of the old committee. :They
came there making complaints when they had nothing to
complain of.: . There was a good. deal of stress laid upon
their having practicatmen in the committee. But he would
like to know why they paid Mr..Kulshavr five per cent.. on
the outlay, and, in addition to -ttiat; £2' a week, to
the clerk of the works. If theie practical gentlemen
were so anxious to give the public the • benefit of their
knowldge and experience, they might possibly dispense
with the services of Mr. Kulshaw and the clerk of the
works too. They had on - the 'committee Mr. Carter and
Mr. J.' Hughes, ,an architect ; and he was sure' it was not
more' -one-sided than the • old committee had been. The
present committee were elected by a majority, and if the
majority 'could bind a - minority; why Was the committee
elected.

Mr. Moss said he had never heard a more ridiculous and
a more preposterous speech in his life, and a more one-
sided 'speech, nor a more party speech from any man, and
he might say, if he were allowed, a more untruthful 'speech.
He appealed. to Mr. Cleaver to read the minutes to the
board, and it would be found that the old committee was
not a garbled, one-sided committee as they had now. It
was composed of nine gentlemen, five, of whom were of one
way. of thinking and four of another. He looked upon it as
an insult to put out of that committee some of the most
valuable- men—men that were qualified to discuss the
matters with any architect or clerk of works, while there
were men appointed in their room that were entirely
ignorant of building matters. It was a rotten system, and
he was very sure that the public feeling- was with him on
the subject. He knew it would be wellto have the whole
on the committee, and then all party jealousy would be
put an end to.
Mr. Miller said, he just wished to say that he had not
came there to find fault either with or witiout cause, and
he only made the remarks that he had done in consequence
of what had fallen from Mr. Baynes. But while he was
speaking he might just as well tell them that some of the
members of the committee were continually making laugh-
ing stocks of themselves by their ridiculousness-.

The remainder of the bu'siness was unimportant

gONETARY AND CQMII3RCIAL

LIVERPOOL, Thursday Evening.

We-do not notice any niaterialchano•6e in .tl 'e con;
dition of the. Cotton Market. To-day there was lesA
business doing, but prices were, on the whole, well
maintained. The sales Were 8,000 bales, including
'5OO on Speculation: and for export.'
The tone of the; Liverpool Share Market was much
steadier.to-day,' and prices at the close, shoWed an
advancing tendency. The following are the day's
transactions :7-Caledonian, 801 ; Great Western,
551; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 934; Lancashire
and Carlisle new third shares, 111 p ; London and
North Western, 911'; Do. one-eighth shares, 14 d;

Midland, 1001 ; Dovers4ol, 20 15-16 ; Buffalo and
Lake. Huron, 44 ; Great Western of Canada; /51 ;
Do. new, •51 d. The fallowing were the closing
prices :-- Chester arid Birkenhead, 711, 721 ; Cale-
donian, 80, 801 ; Eastern Counties, 111, 111 ; East
Lancashire, 93, 931 ; Great Northern, 100, :101 ;
Great Western, 551, 56 Lancashire and Yorkshire

361, 364 ; Midland Stock, 100, 1001 ; North
British, 55, 551 ; North Staffordshire, 4, 31 d ;
North Eastern —ierwick, 89, 891 ; York and North
Midland, 721, 721 ; Leeds Capital Stock, 45, 451;
South Eastern and Dover; 201 204. , Foreign :
Buffalo and Lake Huron, 44, 51 • Dutch Rhenish,
64, d ; Great Western of Canadarls 3-16, 155-16 ;
Do. New Shares, 51, 51 d ; Great Luxembourg,
53, 54; Grand Trmrk of Canada., 81, 8 ; Lom-
bardo-Venetian, 4. 3d ; Do. New Shares, 1, d.
The General Produce Markets remain quiet and
inactive; there being no itnprovement to notice
either in the demand or price for the leading articles.
To-day, the business in Sugar was confined to 60
hhds. grainy Demerara at 435. 9d. to 445. 6d., 200
barrels St. Lucia at, 355. 3d. to 395. 9d., and 120 cases
white Bahia at 275. per cwt. in bond. A small cargo
of clayed Cuba Molasses is reported at 15s. per cwt.
from the quay. Nothing done in Rum, Coffee or
Rice. Of Saltpetre, 50- bags have been taken at
41s. per cwt. for 61 per cent. We have, also to notice
2,000 bags Bombay Linseed at 48s. 6d. to 495. per
quarter, 300 bags Sago Flour, of fine quality, at 17s.
per cwt., and 50 tons indirect Spanish Fustic at
41. 17s. 6d. to s'. per ton from the quay.
Complete stagnation prevailed on the London Stock
Exchange to-day. Scarcely at any former period
has business been so inactive ; nevertheless the funds
are firmer, and prices rather higher than at the close
of yesterday. Within the- last two days a change
has taken place in the condition of the Money
Market. Last week it was affected by the periodical
payments on commercial account, and the rates for
accommodation advanced from 21 to 3 per cent. A
relapse, however, has now occurred, because the
inquiry has partially ceased, and there is a prospect
of the resources of the market being largely aug-
mented by the half-yearly dividends. These cir-
cumstances stimulate competition ; and, in order to
secure business, lower terms are accepted for the
negociation of approved mercantile bills. The lowest
charge in the open market being now 21 per cent.
the applications at the Bank' have rather fallen off ;
and, as the loans obtained on Stock during the
shutting of the , transfer ;books will have to be
repaid, -the " Other Securities " held in the national
Establishment may be expected to undergo an
important diminution. These 'influences, together
with the fact that gold continues to accumulate in
the Bank vaults, may soon revive the question
whether the minimum may not eventuallyldescead
to 21 per cent. To-day the inquiry for Money
on the London Stock , Exchange was very quiet.

, Consols closed very firmly at 931 to 93-,?-;
Bills, 21 to 24 ;' Bank' Stock, 219 to 2424

The London Railway Share Market was very
steady all day, and firm, closing at the highest point,
except for Caledonians; which were flat. Canadian
and French Shares were steady. The following were
the closing prices :--Ambergate,. Nottingham, and
Easternlunction, sa, 54; Caledonians, 79, 80; Eastern
Counties, 571, 571 ; East Lancashire, 92, 93; Edin-

The position of the Market for American Itilw9,j-
Securities is thus noticed by Mr:E. F. Sattorthwaite :

" The, market in London for American Securities has
been, during the past week, very firm. There has been a
o•ood demand 'for 'United States, Massachusetts; Maryland,
and Pennsylvania Bonds. SOme moderate purchases of New
York Central shares:have been made for investment, also; of
this company's bonds. Pennsylvania First and Second
Mortgage are in request at present quotatiOns. Illinois
shares arc quite firm. Construction Bonds steady at 75 to

The Funds to-day were dull, and closed at a reduction of
4- per cent. A certain effect was prodaced by Lord Lynd-
hurst's speech, which seems also to have occasioned a
decline on the Paris Bourse at the-commencement of business
this morning. In the other markets considerable steadiness
continues to prevail, notwithstanding the langour of
business. There was a pod demand for money to-day, and
the business at the Bank was to- a moderate extent,
although good bills were discounted in the open
market as 'low as 2f per cent. There were no bullion
transactions at the Bank to-day. The London and North-
Western Railway Traffic Returns show this week an increase
of £3,691 ; the Great Northern an increase of £2,368; the
Great Western, an increase Of £3,983 ; and the London
and South Western, an increase of £4,922.—_Daily Hews
City Article, Wednesday Evening, •

The- debate of last evening on the national defences,
coupled with the- general tenor of the foreign accounts,
especially as regards the naval movements in tbe- Mediter-
ranean and Adriatic, caused the English Funds to
open this morning at a slight reaction. There has again
been a fair demand for discount at the Bank to-day, but as
the payment of the dividends will commence to-morrow,
there is an anticipation in some quarters that the rate will
be lowered to-morrow to 22 per cent. The expectation is
general that in any case this step will not be deferred beyond
the, succeeding court day. The Railway Market has-again
been very dull, business in this department being almost
at a stand. On the -Amsterdam Bourse to-day there has
been a further fall of 3 per cent. in Austrian stocks ; they
opened yesterday at 431 and closed this afternoon at 4041.
The total decline since Monday has been 41 per cent.—

London Dock stock was purchased to-day at 613- ex div,
