TOWN COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

On Wednesday the adjourned monthly meeting of the
Council was held at the Town-hall.

COURTS OF LAW COMMITTEE.
From the proceedings of the Courts of Law and St.
George's Hall Committee, it appeared that a correspond-
ence had taken place between Mr. Aspinall and Dr. Wes-
ley respecting a suitable organ for the hall, and that the
Doctor had kindly consented to undertake the superin-
tendence of the instrument. The committee recommended
that, instead of stone, red granite columns (a specimen of
which was placed on the Council tahle) should be ordered
for the interior of the hall. Mr. Elmes, the architect,
was of opinion that smokeless fuel should be used in the
building, with the view of doing away with an unsightly
stack of chimneys.
Mr. H. LAWRENCE. in moving the confirmation of the
proceedings, said the cost of the 20 granite columns had
been estimated by Mr. Tomkinson at £4,989, but from
this sum several reductions would have to be made. For
instance, the cost of plain stone columns would be £l6OO,
which would reduce the expense to ..£3,380. Then, the
Council had contracted in such a manner already as to
save £2,500, which would reduve the excess to £BBO.
After a few words from Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE, touch-
ing the state of toe finances, and the constant demands
which were being made, the proceedings were confirmed,
with the understanding that the committee should order
the columns on receiving the authority of the Finance
Committee on financial grounds.

EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
From the proceedings of the Education Committee it
appeared the average attendance at the schools, from the
27th of March to the 24th of April, was as follows :—North
School, boys 242; girls, 204; infants, 161 ; total, 607.--
South School, boys, 191; girls, ; infants, 161 ; total,
488. Tne number on the books was reported to be—at
the North School, 744; at the South, 621.
Mr. Mor.v NEux, in moving the confirmation of the
proceedings, gave notice of a motion for the next meeting,
that Mr. G. G. Hornby be a member of the committee in
place of Mr. Boutflower, deceased.
The proceedings were confirmed; so also were those of
the Improvement, Market, Church Expenditure, and Fire
Committees.

GARDENS COMMITTEE.
The proceedings of this committee having been read and
confirmed,
Mr. TURNER complained that the Mount Gardens were
closed at an early hour of the afternoon, when the poor
might otherwise go there to enjoy the fresh air, and see a
green tree. He had gone there on Saturday evening last,
before his dinner, and found all the seats on the Mount
locked up. The Cemetery was also locked up, so that a
person had to walk three miles before he could get a little
fresh air. He thought the gardens ought to be left open
until dusk.

The MAYOR.—The shutting of them up will tome peo-
ple to go to Mr. Yates's park. (A laugh.)
Mr. BIRRETT.—I suppose the gardener has followed
the example of the merchants on 'Change, and closes bu-
siness at two o'clock on Saturday. (Laughter.)
Mr. THORNHILL promised to bring the complaint be-
fore the committee.

POETRY.

THE ORIGIN OF THE HUMMING-BIRD.

(From the Dublin University Magazine for May.)
When Saint Patrick reached in the Emerald Isle,
The Fairies that luitinted the green.
And their revels had held, in Moen time,
Were filled with envy ai.d spleen.

So they went where the water-lilies float,
On tho edge of the sh.l ow bay,
And they chose themselves each a little boat,
To carry them t +r away.

Merrily now that little fleet
Bounds o'er the waters blue;
Boldly the fairies have taken th it seat
Each in her light canoe

They gave to their Queen the largest flower,
Their p rilous course to guide;
And after her, like a snowy shower,
The tiny vessels glide.

The eddying ripples that bore them along,
A murmuring melody played ;
And the fairie . who knew the words of its song,
A whispering answer made.

The waters are hurrying away to the south,
And hear them un with their tide,
Till safely they reach the river's mouth,
And &at on the ocean wide.

Though many a day and night they sailed,
Wa mly the sunshine fell.
For the might of the winds and waves was stayed
By the power of their magic spell.

That magic spell has banished the night,
Whiie their westward curse they take,
For a glorious trail of burnished light
Is toll wing in heir wake.

The fairies have ieached the coral strand,
And lett the lily-flowers;
They fly away i❑ a nierLy band
To the pleasant citron bowers.

And the humminz-birds seen in that sunny clime,
Spackling with rainhow hues.
Aye the Faith's who lett the Emerald Isle,
In their lily-woite canoes.

H.B.

nounce it to be replete wit] matter interesting to scienti-

of Won't, by which it appears that rnsteri it may be ren-

action of tire. It is coming into use for rails on railways,
in plice of iron tails. The paper on the arts and manu-

is a deseripti..n of toe improved screw propeller, by our

Ctim:nal Information was made, at the instance of the
'Duke of Marlborough, against Mr. Humfrey, the bar-
rister, for various libels on the Duke, contained in Mr.
El's speech at the late Woodstock election. The learned
lord Chief Justice refused the rule, in which the other
judges also concurred, and stated at some length the diffi-
culty under which the Court laboured in granting a Cri-
minal Information on words spoken.
SAVINGS' BANKS.—This bill, which was issued on
Thursday, contains sixteen clauses. After the 20th No-
vember next, deposits cf one depositor not to exceed £2O

lately killed by the falling of a hogshead of sugar, and
that a surgeon was paid two guineas by the coroner to
know what he died of. (A laugh.)
Mr. BLACKBURN.—To know the immediate cause of
death, I suppose?
Mr. PARKER.-No; but whether the hogshead of su.
gar killed him. (Laughter.)
Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE said that 35 inquests had been
held within the month, in 17 of which surgeons had been
examined. In 14 out of the 17 post mortem examinations
had been held.
Mr. PARKER said the expenses of the coroner's office
amounted to £l,OOO a year, and that that was a large
sum.
The conversation here dropped.
THE CORPORATION SCHOOLS.
At twelve o'clock. Mr. BLACKBURN rose for the pur-
pose of bringing forward his motion relative to the Cor-
poration Schools, which was seconded by Mr. Alderman
EVANS. We shall not weary our readers with even an
analysis of his statements ; for the opinion of the Council,
and that of the town at large, have already been f, equently
expressed noon them. As Mr. North's speech did not
profess to be an answer to Mr. Blackburn, but to be
merely an indignant remonstrance against the pertinacious
obstinacy of the radical faction in the Council, we will
Kive the principal portion of it. Mr. North's remarks
are as just as they are well merited.

of the Dee (doing infinite credit to
" The land of my fathers and mine,")
is not yet over—we mean the " settling." Thousands

rather over the " left." The followers (not a few) of the
light weights do come to the scratch as brilliantly as the
" Deer" told off the Chester Cup.

defendant had given notice that he was not prepared to
pay them. The plaintiff, therefore, had rot proceeded to
the new trial, but in this term obtained a rule nisi to dis-
charge the rule for a new trial, which! came on for argu-
ment this day. The court made the rule absolute to
discbare the rule for a new trial, unless the defendant
should, within a fortnight, pay the costs of the former
trial, and also bring the sum of £l5O into court to abide
the issue of such new trial.

HORRIBLE STORY.—A. married woman, residing in
Distington, near Whitehaven, previous to last week, suf-
fered severely for some months past from a pain in the sto-
mach, and every means adopted far its removal proved of
no avail. On Wednesday last, however, during a fit of
coughing, she ejected from her stomach a living reptile,
about 12 inches in length, resembling the water asp, and
has ever since been comparatively free from the pain she
had hitherto endured. It is conjectured that the reptile
had been swallowed in water when very small, and that it
had attained its great size in the stomach of the unfortu-
nate woman, who had been so long tortured by her etrang •
and unnatural lodger.—Carlisle Journal.
