In his report of the Council's proceedings yesterday he, in a barefaced, Iving manner, tells the public that Mr . John M'Sherrv's account for services rendered as a valuator for the County wss passed, and Mr Hankin's account referred back for correction as excessive.

And his every action in that direction let me advise him '» thoroughly approved, appreciated, and admired, and must of necessity culminate in a covering of glory on his leaving the district, consisting, I hope, of an illuminated address and a purse of soys. •; Men of my stamp" are usually magnanimous even to enemies.
