he had not done so.
Mr. Alderman EvAzis recommended that Mr. Stewart
should be continually dunned till he furnished it.
The CHAIRMAN.-I have dunned him almost every day.
Mr. TOBIN suggested that the secretary should address a
note to Mr. Stewart, putting him in mind of his promise.
The CHAIRMAN believed that Mr. Stewart was of opinion
that a common floor would be the best.
Mr. Alderman EVANS.-With the protection underneath

It was then agreed that the secretary should address a
note on the subject to Mr. Stewart.

The CHAIRMAN called the attention of Mr. John Hartley
(who attended for his father) to the unsatisfactory progress
which was being made in the new works at Albert Dock.

letter to Mr. Waring, the contractor, on the subject, and he
had received a reply stating that additional men would be
immediately put on.
The SECRETARY read the letters, which were of the pur-
Port already stated. Mr. Waring, in his letter, stated that

MEETING OF THE POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY.
toWe furnished, on Friday and Tuesday last, the principal
rtiiina of Mr. J. Holme's excellent address before the
v't-o°lnechnic Society, on the public improvements of Liver-

ctinished that intention on learning that while the lee-
ability was being delivered, a respected gentleman of much
ability in
the profession breathed his last, and that
his. Holme (who had not previously thought of publishing
bei remarks) had, on hearing the fact, and the suggestion
ag made to him, with the most praiseworthy kindness and
consideration, resolved to submit them, entire, in a pamplet,

to appoint a committee of architects and prac-

Public ings, &c , should be referred. It was by such

ouildings. Architects were there appointed, each of whom
produced a design for any required building, and had also
two votes in favour of the two designs which he considered
each On one occasion, though most of them naturally gave
the One vote for his own design, nearly all acknowledged
theegreat excellence of that of the celebrated Phydias, and
thvee him their second vote ; so that his was adopted, and
ar„ result was (without creating any unworthy jealousy
ma"Vagst the profession), that one of the finest buildings of
its tinitY was erected—the highest talent having met with
