DOCK COSINE (TEE. -APPEOACII ES TO THE NEW LANDING
rAwe.

The proceedings of ttOs committee were read.
Mr. Alderman BENNETT said, that they were now arriving
close to that time when it would be necessary to give
notice of auy bills that wou!d corns before Parliament next
session, and he trusted that a matter of so much importance
as the one to which he was about to allude —namely, the
town approaches to the lan ling stags, would not escape
the attention of the chairman and members of the Dock
Committee. He was glad to hear that the chairman of
the Improvement Committee was taking aeive measures to
do what could be done on the part of the council, and that
a committee to cmsider the subject would be called to-
gether. This was the last opportunity that the council
would have of making their wishes known to the Dock
Committee, and he, in consequence, rose to beg the chair-
man of the Dock Committee, to give a matter of such
great importance his bast consideration and support in the
committee over which he presided.
The proceedings wers confirmed.
ST. GEORGE'S lIALL SOMMITTEN.

Ths proceedtngs of this committee were read.
Mr. HODSON asked if anything was being done in regard
to the retnnval of the obstructions in front of St. George's
Hall, and the alteration of the levels in the neighbourhood.
Two months ago, a Joint Committee, consisting of mem •
bars of the Library Committee and St. George's Hall
Committee, was appo'nted to consider the subject. They
reported on it, and were ordered by the council to proceed
with the alterations with the le4st possible delay He
believed that Mr. Weighttnan had submitted plans for the
pu-p)se, which were approved of, and he would, there're,
move that it bo an instru.tion to the committee to at once
proceed to the completion of those plans.
Mr. J. B. Bit tNCK &It said that the committee were about
to carry out these plans so far as the alteration, of the levers
of tl streets in the neighbourhood ware concerned; and,
wheethat was done, they could best judge of what could
be done with the area in front of the Hall.

Mr. B&CKWITLI asked wheal the surveyor wz.euld ena-
menee with the alteration of them, levels ? _

Mr Prcrox replied that if tbo Council instructed;the St.
George's Hall Committee to throw, open the area in front
of the Hall, and redece the levels of the upper part of
Shaw's Brow, he was not aware that there was anything
that would prevent that being done: It was quite practi-
cable to a eonsiderable•length to carryout those alterations
immAdiately, but it rested with the Council to giver an
instruction to that effect.
Me. Alderman S. Idoufs advised Tirr. Hodson to with-
draw his motion for the present. The committee wore
proceeding as fast as they emild with tho alterations, audit
would be imprudent to press them in the matter.
Mr. HODSON withdrew his motion; anitthe proceedings
of the committee were confirmed.

The proceedings of the Markets, Education, and Gaol
Committees were confirmed: Th y contained nothing of
interest.
