2. That, without their consent, it would be a breach of 'faith
with the bondholders, who 'cannot have a representative-at thr

board, under the municipal corporation acts,

3. That the sale of lands for the reduction of the mortgage debt
would be seriously impeded.

The Chairman moved the adoption of the report, observ-
ing that it went so fully into the details of the question, as
to need no further explanation from him. If any gentleman
wished to a& any questions regarding it, the Law-clerk would
be ready to answer him.
Mr. Keightley seconded the adoption of the report.
Mr. Gonf2ll said, it seemed to him that the report did not
actually recommend anything.
Dr. Baylis observed -that the committee was appointed
merely to report upon the subject. . .
The Chairman said, the memorial from the ratepayers
was to request that the.subject should be enquired into.
The committee had enquired into it, and laid the matter
before the board; And it was now for the board,. the rate-
payers, or the-town generally, to take upon themselves to
say whether they would adopt the act.
Mr. Gough suggested that the best way would be to
call a public meeting of the ratepayers.
The Chairman : I 'think the better course would be this—
the report has 'been drawn up with considerable care, let it
go before the public through the means of the press, and
it will be then for the inhabitants, if they wish to have a
public meeting, to call upon the commissioners for, that
purpose. Certainly if a requisition be presented, I should
be ready to calla public meeting, in order to have the mat-
ter discussed, .and to give every one an opportunity of
expressing his opinion. Ido not think we should take any
further steps in the matter at.present.
Dr. Baylis said, if the report were passed, he should be
prepared to move that the -matter be adjourned to another
meeting. At first it seemed a very simple matter of trans-
fer, but upon enquiry there were found to be so many
serious obstacles in the way, that he thought, the township
ought to be aware of what they were doing before giying
their consent. The question -of taxation was a very
important one. He 'knew parties who had come to that
township, and invested money,'in the belief that 3s. in the
pound was the highest amount of taxation to which the
local authorities could go. According to the report that
limitation would no longer exist. Mr. Waln had said that
an act of parliament was not required ; but he would ask
Mr. Wain whether, if the bondholders did not consent,
it would not be necessary then to seek for an act of parlia-
sient ?

1 Mr. Wain said he•did not know that the mere objection of
the bondholders would involVe that necessity.
Dr. Baylis : But would they not have a locus standi to
eonipel us to go to parliamext ?
Mr. Waln apprehended Chat they would have great diffi-
culty. As ratepayers, they might object.to a charter being
granted, but when granted they would ;not have power to
compel the board to go to :parliament. In answer to a
further question, Mr. Wain- said, it would certainly
deprive the ratepayers of the power of ,having a repre-
sentative at the board.
Dr. Baylis : It would be a broach of .faith, in fact.
Mr. Wain : It would be a. broach of faith, without their

;onsent

The Chairman said, he thought he could go somewhat
further. They had been advised by,eounsel that, it would
not be absolutely necessary to seek for an act of parliament,
but that it would be better they should go.for one.
He
apprehended, if they went to parliament, the bondholders
could go there and oppose them.
Mr. Waln : Certainly, they would have the power.
Dr. Baylis asked, what would be the cost of an act ?
Mr. Waln said, he could not tell. The lowest cost would
probably be £2,000.
Mr. Rae said, the most serious objection, if be understood
the question rightly, was that it would prevent the beard
from going on with their intended sales of land without the
consent of the Lords of the Treasury.
Mr. Waln said, for every lot sold they must apply to .the
Treasury for permission.
Mr. Rae : Then the property now in our own absolute
control would then be under the control of the Lords of the
Treasury ? We could not sell without their consent ?
Mr. Kcightley : Nor lease for thirty years.
Mr. Rae : That is a very serious objection.
Mr. Gough : I hope we are not going to sell it all;
to-day.
Mr. Rae: No, sir ; you cannot sell to-day.
The Chairman : I believe it will most seriously impede
the sales of property.
The report was then adopted.
Dr. Baylis moved, "That the report be printed, for the
information of the ratepayers, and circulated, and that its
further consideration be deferred till the next meeting of
the board."
Mr. Barnett seconded the motion,. which was agreed to
The board then adjourned.

YELLOW BUTTER!!!
A very worthy'old'l.ady has written to the Butterman—protest-
ing against "the mixture as above," which has lately appeared in
the papers.

The meaning is this—
Tat—or sell—my yellow Butter and you will not require tither of
the other artioles.

ADVICE tO JOHN BULL.
Keep your hands in your pockets.
You will find it do you good three ways :
First—'Twill soothe your mind;
Second 'Twill keep you from fighting;
Third—'Twill prevent the Continental thieves
getting their hands in.

ADVICE TO THE P'UBLIC,

Vripg something to put your butter in during this hot weather,

BEEF REA D, BACON, AND PORK, UP.
Several interested parties have been saying that such being the
ease, the Butterman ought to advance the price of the yellow butter.
No, no," said the Butterinan,
"No advance,—riot a ' Korly cue;'"—that is, the nineteenth part of
a farthing, which is well known.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.
LIVERPOOL, Tuesday Evening.
The Liverpool Cotton Market continues quiet,
and prices without change. The sales to-day amount
to 4;000 bales, and include 1,000 taken for specu-
lation and export.
The Liverpool Share Market has been quiet,-and
only a small amount of bnsliiess done, but prices have
rather shown a tendency to improve. The
sales cornprised :.--.-Eastern Counties, 101 ; Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire, 841, 8474 ; London and North
Western, 861 •, Midland, 93a, 931 ; South Eastern,
184 -; Grand Trunk of Canada, 71; Ditto
Seven per Cent. Debentures, 1867, 64. After
official hours, sales were made in Eastern
Counties at 101, Lancashire and Yorkshires at 85,
and London and North Western at 861. The final
closing quotations were :--Blackburn, 111, 11-'4;
'Chester and Birkenhead, 591, 60 ; Caledonian, 74,
741 • Eastern Counties, 10 7-16, 10 9-16 ; East Lan-
cashire, 83, 85 ; Great Northern, 94, 96 ; Ditto A.,

Grand Trunk of Canada, 7 7-16, 7 9-16 ; Lombardo-
Venetian, 3, 21 d; Do. New Shares, 31, 21 d.
The stagnation which has for some time prevailed,
in the Manchester Goods Market continues, and to-
day there was an almost total suspension of business,
except for goods and yarns for India, on which a
few transactions took place. Continental buyers are
completely out of the market, and prices for yarns
for Germany continue to decline.
The London Stock Market opened with consider-
able buoyancy, and Consols were firm all the morn-
ing at an advance of about a quarter per cent. on the
closing quotations of yesterday. At twelve o'clock
they were quoted for Money at 91,;- to 92, and for the
Account at 911 to 911. Afterwards they became a little
weaker, and finally closed-for Money at 914, and
for the Account at 911 to 911. The closing prices
for other Securities were : -Three per Cents., 901,
901; Bank Stock, 219, 222 ; Exchequer Bills,
Large and Small, 19, 23 pm.
A better feeling has pervaded the London Share
Market, and prices, influenced by the tone of the
Stock Market, had an improving tendency in the
earlier part of the day, but the amount of business
actually transacted was small, and at the close quo-
tations were hardly so good as at an earlier period
of the day. The following were the final closing
'
prices : -Ambergate 54, ; Caledonians, 731, 741;
Preference, 99, 101 ; Eastern Counties, 52, 53 ; East
Lancashire, 83, 85 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 68, 70 ;
Great. Northern, 94, 96 ; Ditto A, 75, 80 ; Ditto
B, 124, 128 • Great Westerns, 50i4,-, 514 ; Lancashire
and Yorkshire, 84, 85 ; Brighton, 107, 109 ;
North Western, 86, 87 ; South Western, 86, 87;
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 321, 331 ;
Midland, 93, 94 ; North British, 501, 511; Pre-
ference, 106, 108; North Eastern-Berwick, 831, 841;
Leeds Northern, 411, 421; York, 681, 6941; North
Stafford, 51, 5+- ; South Eastern 61, 62 ;
Turkish Sixes, 62, 63 ; Ditto Fours, 100, 102 ; Great
Western of Canada, 13.1, 131; Ditto New shares,
61, 7 dis. ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 71, 71.
The Corn Markets generally continue to show a
downward movement. In Liverpool this morning
there was a fair attendance of buyers, but, notwith-
standing, Wheat declined in price to the extent of
6d per cental, and Flour was a very dull sale at a
similar decline. At Hull wheat declined 3s, and at
Newcastle is per quarter, with small businesses in
each place.
The accounts from Paris to-night report a rise in
the French Funds of about a quarter per cent.,
promoted chiefly by the report that. England and
France have resumed diplomatic relations with,
Naples.
The Discount Market is still superabundantly sup-
plied with money, and first-class bills up to two
months date are readily taken at 31 per cent., or less.
At the Bank the applications yesterday were very few,
and confined to regular customers.
In consequence of the difficulty of employing
money, the London and Westminster Bank have
announced that their rates of allowance for deposits
will heenceforth be as follows, viz.:-2,- per cent.
for sums of £5OO and upwards, and 2 per cent. for
sums below £5OO. The reduction in. the former
instance is 1 per cent., and in the latter -} per cent.
The terms of the other . Joint-stock Banks remain as
last* reported, viz. :-1 per cent below the Bank of
England minimum rate of discount.
The annual meeting of the National Bank took
place to-day ; Mr. F. Newsham in the chair. The
directors congratulated the shareholders on the
social condition of Ireland, and the general prosperity
of the bank during the past year. The net profits
of the year were £89,327 16s 6d, less rebate on
bills not due amounting to £16,124 ; leaving 'a
surplus of £73,203 16s 6d, to which the profit on
sales of shares, .£5,972, were added, making,
with the former Rest £183,967 19s 2d. From
this two dividends (at the rate of 6 per cent per
annum, and 25s bonus per share), amounting to
£60,000, were paid, which reduced the present Rest
to £125,967 19s 2d, as against £104,792 2s Bd, the
balance at the end of December, 1857. The report
was adopted, and the meeting passed off most
satisfactorily.
There was a further arrival •of 70,000/ in gold
from Russia yesterday, but it was immediately
taken for exportation.
The success of the Allies at Montebello has been attended
with a favourable effect on the English Funds. Notwith-
standing the continued and remarkable absence of
speculative animation, the Funds closed to-day with a firm
appearance at an advance of I, per cent. In the other
departments of the Stock Exchange business was again
almost at a standstill, but general firmness prevails. The
Discount Market is still superabundantly supplied with
money, and first-class bills up to two months date arc
readily taken at 31 per cent., or less. In conse-
quence of the difficulty of employing money, the
London and Westminster Bank has this day announced
that their rates of allowance for deposits will henceforth be
21 per cent. for sums of £5OO and upwards, and 2 per cent
for sums below £5OO. The reduction in the former instance
is 1 per cent., and in the latter t per cent. There were no
withdrawals of gold from the Bank to-day. The Africa bas
brought £329,000 in specie from New York. About
£68,000 in gold, half imperials, have arrived to-day from
St. Petersburgh, and is expected to be sent to the Continent.
At St. Petersburgh the exchange on London was quoted

Neither the intelligence of the fight at Montebello, nor -

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.---MAT 24.
The cotton market continues quiet, but without change in
prices. The sales—including 50 Egyptian, 7,-34d to 7td;
200 Surat, 41d to sjd—are reported 4,000 bales, of which
1,000 are on speculation and for export.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—MAY 24.
At our corn exchange this morning, there was about an
average attendance of the trade, and also a number of Irish
buyers, who more particularly directed their attention to
cargoes of wheat from the Continent, but in consequence of
the scanty offers from France and other quarters, and these
being at comparatively high prices, very little business was
done in this branch of the trade—on the spot holders
partially conceded a decline of 6d per cental since this day
week, and at a further reduction there was a disposition
evinced to buy some quantity—however, the extent of
business that resulted was of an extremely limited character.
Flour is exceedingly difficult of sale, and fully 6d per cental
lower. There is no change to notice in barley, beans, or
pease, which only met occasional buyers. Oats and oat-
meal sell slowly at former quotations. Indian corn upon a
moderate demand is held firmly at last week's prices.
