Mi. EARLZ wished to retiel the insinuation that he
came there to oppose the object of the meeting, because
he -happened to have a bother a director of the London
and North-western Railway. He spurned such an in-
sinuation. He merely came there to make suggestions,
and said there were two sides to the question, and to say
it was just possible there might be some advantage even
to the merchants. He believed, however, no influence
would be used, but that the government had fixed upon
the site for their own convenience. As Mr. Holland had
alluded to the Chamber of Commerce, there was a subject
in which he (Mr. Earle) was interested, and in which he
.trusted he should have their assistance.

Mr. M'Ffi also exPlained. He had not intended to
attribute any wrong metives whatever to Mr. Earle, for he
believed him incapable of being so influenced.
Mr. EARLE said he was not a director of the London
and North-western Railway. and had very little interest
in It.

The resolution then passed unanimously. '
Mr. RAABBONE moved the next resolution in a brief
address, urging similar arguments to those already ad-
vanced.

Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE seconded the motion.
He quite agreed' with all that had been said, that the site
was a most inconvenient one to the mercantile classes of
the community.. The counting-houses and places of
business were all centered in the neighbourhood of the
Exthange, and, although the government might save
money by havinethe post-office adjoining the station, yet
the interests of the town required a more central situation,
such as the Saracen's Head, or the gas works, which, he
believed,.would shortly be for sale. It would be a great
inconvenience to sand their clerks to such a distance se-
veral times during the day ; and he thought there must
be some need for an opthalmian institution by those in
office to select such a spot (cheers and laughter.)
Mr. TYRER, who had been alluded to by Mr. Rath.-
bone as having entered into a contract with Government
for the site, rose, and said negociations had been entered
into, but they were not closed. He had no wish, how-
ever, to dispose of the property, if by doing so he should
be, acting injuriously to his fellow-townsmen. (Loud
cheers.) He must say, however, that he should press
the Government for a speedy decision one way or the
other. The property was bought for an investment, and
heihad no doubt would improve before icing. As to the
insinuation of Mr. Holland, that there had been back
stairs influence at work, he denied it so far as he was
concerned. (Hear, hear,)
Mr. RATHBONE did not say anything about back stairs
influence; and all he said about the contract was,= that if
had beeu entered into, the bargain ought to be cancelled,
and Mr. Tyrer'compensated.
Mr. HOLLAND seid he had no indea of applying the
terms to any one, but applied them generally.
The resolution then passed as the others.
Mr. HAROLD LITTLEDALE moved a vote of thanks to
his worship the MAYOR for his conduct in the chair, which
was carried by acclamation, and the meeting separated.
