a more numerous assemblage since the establishment of
the club. After the minutes of the last meeting had been
read by the secretary, and confirmed, a ballot took place
for the noblemen and gentlemen whose names we gave
last month. From the number of members present the
balloting occupied a considerable space of time. The list
contained thirty-one names, all of which were duly elect-
ed. A number of gentlemen were also proposed for bal-
lot at the next meeting. The other business matters of
the club being gone through, a draught of a cutter yacht,
of 31 tons burthen, was submitted by the commodore,

BIRKENTIKAD COMMISSIONEII3.—The usual monthly
meeting of this body was held on Tuesday. Inspector
Mc Ilarg was appointed head of the police, and Mr.

Dougney ortneweit-seeper. Since the inspector com-
menced his duty (27th Nov., 1843) 480 notices and sum-
monses, under the improvement act, had been issued and
complied with. Particular attention bad been paid to
Back Chester•street. The main sewer had been cleansed
and repaired ; all the courts and passages were well flag-
ged and drained, and water had been laid to 64 houses.
The chairman said that at the next meeting a resolution
would be proposed that the land surrounding the market
should be offered for sale to persons desirous of erecting
houses and shops thereon, of stone, not less than a given
height, and he believed the surplus land round the mar-
ket would fetch as much as would defray the cost of the
building. The monthly ferry receipts showed an increase
of £2Bl 5s 6d. over the corresponding month of last
year. A motion was adopted for the appointment of a
committee to inquire into the duties of the officers of the
township. The chairman announced that as the sale
of the Park land was postponed for the present, and the
expenses of the township were heavy, the Finance Com-
mittee were about to obtain a loan of £20,000 at four per
cent.
