Mr. CHARLES TURNBR said he Lad not the slightest
intention of rt &Oil, upon Mr. Bradley He bad been
told that that gentleman held opinions hostile to the
church. It appeared, however, that this was erroneous.
and he therefore begged to withdraw every thing which
he had said.

Mr. Touudirt observed that it ri quired some experience
and knowledge of the Council to qualify a gentleman for
this committee, and he therefore requested that the name
of Mr. Bradley should be withdrawn.
Mr. PICTON said he could not sit still end hear a
doctrine propounded such as that which they had heard
from Mr. Turner. He (Mr. Picton) was not a member
of the Church of England, but then in coming into that
room he came on an equality with any other men,ber of
Council; he came there as a representative of his
ward, and was not di.qualifi,d on account of his relieious
sentiments, from being placed on the Church Expenditure
or any other committee. ,; e thought there might be reasons
given why others than members of the Church of England
should be placed upon this committee. (Hear, hear.) He rose
simply bect:use by his sitting still it might be interred that he
was ashamed of his reliozions professions.

Mr. DOLT thought, without reference to the religious ques-
tion at all, that it was due to a new member sen' there by a
large body of electors, he should have his places assigne.i to
hini, and a fair proportion of %,ork given to him—(hear, hear.)
Mr. T. LLOYD said this committee was not to regulate the
creed of the church, but to look after the expenditure of the
churches which that Corporation supported, and it was highly
necessary that competent parties should he selected for the
ru•pose. After the expost in the printed statement put forth
by the Town-clerk, it was highly necessary that there should
be some scrutiny instituted, and that the subject should be
entered into far deeper and weightier than it had hitherto been.

His WonsHIP thought it would be better not to make such
remarks.

Mr. PARKER.—Then I have done, and leave it to the good
sense of the Council to nominate the committee.
Mr. SAMU'LL HOLME felt sorry that the question should
have resolved itself into anything like a theological dispute.
That was not the place nor the time, otherwise he should
be prepared to defend his church if it was attacked.
(Hear, hear.) lie, for one, however, felt satisfied that
nothing injurious could come out, even though the whole
of the committee were hostile to the church. Mr. Bradley
had been sent there by a large committee, and it was a
reflection to preclude him from any committee. Let them
show to the world that they wished nothing but fair play. If
it should be shown that there were absolute abuses existing
or extravagant expenditure, he for one woo Id say let this state
of things be remedied. He was the:best friend-of the Church
of England who did nut uphold any of its abuses. If it came
to a vote he should vote for the rip'.

He begged that his name might be withdrawn from the list.
(t,oud cries of "No, no.") His name had been placed upon
the Watch Committee by a large majority of gentlemen who
had assembled on Saturday. but for some reason it had since
been withdrawn. The public would now become acquainted
with the feeling which had b en exhibited towards hitt.
The name of Mr. Bradley was retained on the list.

THE FINANCE CHEM IrTEE.—The Town-clerk said this Com-
mittee was originally appoii:ted as a special committee to pre-
pare hye-laws. These were now supplied, and it would rest
with the Council to say whether they would reappoint the
committee. After a long discussion, in which the desirability
of the establishment of a rive, police was spoken of, the sub-
ject of appointing the committee was deferred.

COMMITTEE.—Mr. GEO. HOLT moved the appoint-
ment of the following gentlemen on this committee :—Messrs.
Cooper, Langsdale, Avison, Jones, Hornby, florsfall, James
Milne, Woodruff, M. Wood, J. Stewart, W. Nicholson, Greg_
son, and Holt.

Along and somewhat acrimonious conversation ti ok place,
relative to a request made by Mr. Holt for the sanc-
tion of the Council, to enable the committee to apply
to give the necessary notices to bring a new bill before
Parliament, enabling the council to divert the line for laying
down the pipes, th., object being to evade lienvy compensa-
tion claims by persons who had erected buildings n the line.
in order to make money by the same. Mr. Holt explained that
the object of the committee was not to go to Pa. lament for the
bill without the sanction of the Council ; but they wished to
be in a position to apply for such bill, if it should be considered
by the Council to be beneficial to do so.—Mr. 11(110.
