" To YOUR WORSHIP THE MEYOR.

" Sir, there was some strong impressiones Enterd my mind
after• Heft yo►r 'on Saterday, HoW you, Mr. Walmsley, Mr.
Phitt Mr. Duncan and Mr. Jordon, how you All should fall
in with the sejestions of the town clerk on my case, you all
appere to be led by hini, weather he be Right or wrong, I
suppose if he was to advise you all to put your hands into a
red hot fier till they were burned off, you, would not fall.in
with his advice as your leagal adviser, but on the contrary
you would look on him with contempt you and the town clerk
said that the bullet maater did not do it intentially it did not
:ome under the turm Presume, which is to suppose, Venter
and Press, It apperes Evident to me that you do not intend
to give me any satisfaction, nuther to have my case exposed
to Publick View which was my Earnest Request, It apperes
to me as though you Considered that it was to Glear►ng A
case to expose to Publick View, I hope you will not be dis-
pleased at me, If 1 take the liberty of making my case known
threw the Publick Press, as 1 think the Publick ought to
have an oppertunity of seeing the treatement Which I have
Received, and then they may give their judgment of the fruits
of Reform, But as I ham in want of A situat►on, Peraps you
would fever me with. an office in one of the Courts should
you think proper to do so, I will drop the suit, and you will
Extremely oblige me by giveing A reply to day or to mor-
row to the above

" I Remain, you Humble and Obedient Servant,

" WM. TIMOTIIY.

" Prophet-street, Hughes-street, Toxteth-park." -
This specimen of the epistolary powers of the quondam
reformer excited considerable laughter. It was followed by
extracts from another letter, in which Mr. Timothy stated
that what the Town-clerk had told them was the old thing
over again. " ,^"
tice ;" that he should attend a meeting to be held at the
p.. 0 note!, for the purpose of showing up the sort of justice
which could be obtained from reformers ; and that he should
draw up a statement of his case, and send it, with a copy of
the Town-clerk's answer, to Lord John Russell. (Great
laughter.)
Mr. RATHOONE observed that, after the reading of those
letters, perhaps the mover and seconder would withdraw
their motion. If not, he should move that the memorial lie
under the table.
The motion was at once withdrawn.

A memorial from a number of shopkeepers in the neigh-
bourhood of St. John's Market was referred to the Market
Committee. It complained that, in consequence of the
vegetables coming from the country on Wednesday and Sa-
turday mornings being placed at the outside of the market,
great inconvenience resulted to the passengers, as well as in-
jury to the regular occupants of shops and standings, who
pay a regular annual rent.
An application from the Treasurer and Clerks of the Court
of Requests, for an increase of salary, was referred to the
Court of Requests Committee.

THE BOTANIC GARDEN.
The MAYOR laid before the council the resolution passed
at the meeting of the propietors of the Botanic Garden, held
on the 25th ult., for the opening of the garden to the public
on Sundays, and the counter-resolution passed at the meeting
on the second of June. The chairman of the meeting accom-
panied the latter resolution with a statement, that the com-
mittee had consented to open the garden to the public on
Mondays and Saturdays, from the hour of one to eight.—
Ordered to lie on the table.

Mr. LASSELL said that the question of opening the garden
on Sundays had now been set at rest, but the committee had
opened them on two days in the week, and he thought it very
fair matter for consideration whether the council should not
therefore make a grant of £lOO or £2OO, he was not prepared
to say which, in consideration of that concession, which, he
maintained, would be the means of affording great amuse-
ment to the public. Last Monday, he stated, three thousand
persons visited the garden, although the fact of its being open.
was not generally known. The question had, he thought,
been carried at the last monthly council meeting, but was
afterwards reversed by some persons leaving the room. (No,
no.) He thought that the majority had been changed by that
circumstance. (No, no.) He should move that the subject
be referred to the Finance Committee.
The MAYOR said it would be necessary for Mr. Lassell to
give notice of his motion.

Mr. LAssELL accordingly intimated that he should do so.
'Mr. Alderman SHELL said that it was right that it should
not go forth to the public that there had been any mistake
at the previous meeting. The statement of Mr. Lassell was
directly opposed to the fact.
