very wisely proposed in amendment by Christo-
pher Crabb, Esq: that Mr. Panne* do leave the
Chair, and that the Councillors precut immedi-

ated at onee • mighty fore, and few solemn
protests were entered against the legality of the
proceedings. These protests were substantially
and willingly supported by the leget opinion of
Dixie Watson, Encl. Barrister, who peremptorily
denied even the right of the Councillors to meet
as Councillors, and declared that if they
did elect a Mayor end proceed to set a.
Corporation, their whole Aetr wand be illegal !
Common some, however, for ooe,. gained the
a'cendancy over legal dogmatism, and Mr. Par-

be presumed that the legislature would have
viewed the prayer of the Petition entirely beyond

An article appeared rue the first page of

two reflecting rather ungeneroeely on tel
friends of Coegregationaliem to that nsiag

time of its reception, and the writer (a to-
tal stranger to um,) giving oe higb refere.

general character. A frieed, to whom we
