e are glad to .perceiVe that the members of thisasso-
ation have passed a resolution expressive of their un-
qualified approbation of the straightforward and uncorn-
14°Inising conduct of James Heyworth, Esq., in his

We trust that other wards will follow the example..

r eVievving at lepith the subject so ably and conclusively
handled in the letter of the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, which
appears in our columns to-day. However, the discussion
Isf this subject could not be left in better hands;
.and we
trust that the cogency of the rev.gentieman's reasonings,
and the force of his illustrations, will carry conviction
Into the mind of every sincere and unprejudiced inquirer
after truth, and dissipate those lingering doubts which
the confident assertions of certain of our liberal Town
Councillors were calculated to excite.
