MARKET COMMITTEE.

Mr. BOUTFLOWER trued the attention of the council
to the fraud committed on the public by women dressing
themselves as persons from the country, and selling bacon
to housekeepers as country led, which had actually been
fed in Liverpool.
Mr. Alderman EvAivs did not know how they could
interfere.

Mr. PLUMPTON said a greater nuisance was the block•
ing up of Great (;harlottc-street on Saturdays.

J. LAWRENCE said it was appropriated according
to law.

The proceedings of the Courts of Law Committee were
then read and confirmed.

EDUCATION COMMITTEE.

The average attendance at the schools for the lasi
month was stated to be as follows :
North School. South School.

Mr. Alderman MOLYNEUX having moved the confima-
tion of the proceedings,
Mr. BLACKBURN rose and said he regretted, as he al-
ways had regretted, that the council came to the determi-
nation to refuse the information as to the different sects
to which the children who attended the school, belonged.
It was a serious omission, and it prevented the public from
knowing the state of the schools, and whether they were
one to attempt to prove, ipso facto,

Mr. BLACKBURN was then proceeding with a speech, in
which he was railing, as usual. about the violation of con-
science.to conclude by a motion.
Mr. BLACKBURN said .he thought the question should
not be asked.

that, as you are going win the merits of the case, you
should conclude with a motion. _

Mr. BLACKBURN said that in order to grin; himself
within the rule, he would conclude with a n 0:10n, to the
effect that the different sects to which the scholars belonged
should hereafter be stated.

Mr. BIaKETT thought he could not do that without
iotice.

The MAYOR said a resolution was passed by the coun-
cil, that the Education committee should discontinue giv-
ing to the council a statement of the different sects who
came to the school, and therefore it was necessary to give
notice of a motion of the kind just adverted to.
Mr. H. HORNBY thought the interruption given to Mr.
Blackburn extremely uncalled for.
The MAYOR said he was told by the Town-Clerk that
Mr. Blackburn was proceeding irregularly, and he had a
right to say so.
Mr. H. HORNBY said it was an irregularity usually
adopted on the reading of the proceedings of all commit-
tees of the council.

Mr. BLACKBURN reminded the Mayor that on Wed-
nesday Mr. Atkin brought forward a resolution to the
effect that no more land in Cheshire should be sold, al-
though the council had previously determined to go on
with the sales.

Mr. HODGSON had no doubt there was irregularity the
day previous, but, said he " let Mr. Blackburn be heard.
Give every opportunity. I did hear that he was going to
make some large protest, and we are quite prepared to
meet any arguments."
Mr. BLACKBURN.—I will not accept the privilege. If

have not a perfect right to speak, I will sit down now,
and at another council bring forward the matter. I will
not condescend to receive any civility, in this way, from
Mr. David Hodgson or any other man, or ev.•u yourself
Mr. Mayor. (Cries of " Order, order,"" Chair, chair.")
If I have not a perfect right to speak, I will not speak at
all.

Mr. GLADSTONE thought the opinion of every member
of the council, on a subject of so much importance, was
enttled to the best consideration. He thought Mr. Black-
burn had been actuated by the best motives in attempting

t hy thought
to take this opportunity of stating his opinions. If he
had given notice, it would have created, as that question
always did, considerable excitement in the room, In his
(Mr. Gladstone's) opinion, Mr. Blackburn took the wisest
course ; and, if allowed to proceed, the subject might
have been discussed without creating so much excitement
as it usually did. He conceived nothing could he worse
than an attempt on the part of that council, even at the
expense of a little irregularity. to suppress the discussion
of a subject of so much importance.
Mr. BIRKETT had no wiaii to shrink from the subject;
but if notice had been given the chairs would have been
better filled.

Mr. PARKER would vote for Mr. Blackburn going for-
ward. He knew they could meet them on all points.

Mr. BLACK aunN. —1 f the council decide to go on, I
shall decline it for the present.
The MAYOR.--It is a 'matter of right. and not of favour,
if the council decide that you shall go on. (Go on.)
Mr. BLACKBURN.—I will not proceed Mr. Mayor. We
shall have a regular set-to.
Mr. BIRKETT hoped Mr. Blackburn would ask for a
special day, or else he might speak for an Dour and three
Quarters, and nobody have time to answer him.
The proceedings of the committee were then confirmed.

CEICRCFI EXPENDITURE COMMITTEE.
Mr. BIRKETT, in reply to Mr. G. H. Lawrence, said
the question as to the alteration of Sc. Luke's Church
was still under consideration, the comniittee was waiting
fur the opinion of the Town Clerk.
The proceedings were then confirmed, as also those of
the Observatory committee.
