thought it desirable that a committee should be formed to
inquire into the subject, anti see what steps could be taken.
If they possessed any power, let them exercise it at once ; if
they did not possess it, the sooner they acquired that
power the hotter.
Mr. M'Gowen said tkere was no doubt their powers did
not extend 'sufficiently far to enable them to grapple with
this difficulty. The question might arise whether by
adopting the local government act they might not get the
power, as it empowered the town council to make a bye-law
for the security and stability of a building. The only
other mode to obtain the power would be by an Act of
Parliament

Mr. Beckwith said that no doubt something should be
done, and the question was, which was the best way to do
it. It would be better to leave the matter to the Tuesday's
committee, with instructions tc report to the geuerzi com-
mittee.
The -matter was referred to the general purpeses sub-
comnettee, and the proceedings then terminated.

man before the electors. In such an event, Mr.
Horsfall must blame his own party alone; the
Liberals will not be in any way compromised in this
matter--they have no wish to alter the representa-
tion, but are satisfied to leave it as it stands. Still,
if our opponents court the issue, by all means let us
ascertain the feeling of the constituency on the
question—whether we are strong enough to place
two Liberals in Parliament, or not ? Now the
Liberals have a gentleman who would se-
cure the confidence of a large body of
the electors, his presence in Parliament would
meet the want referred to by the Shipping Gazette.
He would surely be a fair representative of the
shipping interest (we mean Mr. Thomas Brockle-
bank), than whom I know of no man more honest or
more determined to support a progressive and liberal
policy in the state.
I venture to place his name before the electors, in
the hope that, if on to-morrow we find the threat of
opposition carried into effect, Mr. Brocklebank may-
be nominated, and, if. he is nominated, I feel pretty
confident he would stand high on the poll on the day
of election. V.

THE SINEWS OF WAR."
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.

Sir,—From the aspect of Continental affairs, the
moment is fraught with interest of vital importance
to this country. Our efforts for the preservation
of peace, and the advancement of civilisation, appear
to have been basely trifled with. Why, then,
should we hesitate to adopt measures that may, in
the end, mitigate the horrors of protracted war on
the Continent, as well as strengthen our position at
home. War, it is true, has not been openly declared
against us by the despots of Europe ; but, after what
has transpired, can their inclinations be doubted.
Our noble efforts in the cause of civilisation and
humanity have been met by treachery and deceit,
and while in a painful state of suspense as to the
course that may be forced upon us by circumstances,
almost beyond our control, we may be entirely justi-
fied by prohibiting the export, not only of all war
matarial likely to assist a prospective enemy, but of
gold, the very nerve and sinews of war, and this
without a moment's further deliberation. The feel-
ing of the country is aroused ; diplomacy is thrown
to the winds ; let us be prudent as well as brave.
"God" will " protect the right." A BRITAIN.
