      S ^ B SPECIAL MEETING OF THE LEEDS TOWN COUNCIL . In our last -week ' s paper -we gave ti pretty full report of tie proceedings of the Town Coundlat one of their Special Meetings . It will he remembered that the Council on that occasion broke ap in confaaon . They therefore met on Thursday last to finish the business -which remained on their hands at the close of the preceding meeting . ' It will also be remembered that at thatmeetuig the CooncU came to an important decision in reference to the liabilit } of the Hamlets of Osmondthorpe , Coldcoates , Skelton , andThomes , in the township of Temple -Newsam , to pay the Borough ratesas there had

      , never been anv person legally appointed to collect them , nor any law by which such a person conld be so appointed . At their meeting on Thursday last , that decision was completely reversed , and that too , without the least reason being assigned . And what is still more singular , it was reversed , for the most part , by xhe Tery memberag-ho most readily carried it at the former meeting . * The following is a sketch of their proceedings . After the usual preliminaries were gone through , ( inaddition to which there was a little squabbling about whether the Town Clerk had acted fairly in putting several fresh notices noon

      thepaper , which were made by the Mayor , and which Mr . Israel Bnrrows thought should not take precedence of business left unfinished at a former meeting . ) the Mayor said that their first business was to consider the propriety of appointing a committee to take into consideration the table of fees received from the Secretary of State , for the Clerk of the Peace , and the Clerk to the Justices . Mr . Barlow proposed , and Mr . Pease seconded , that a Committee of the following seven gentlemenl > e formed . The Mayor , Mess . Hebden , Clarke , Beamier , Burrows , Williamson , and Holdfortb Carried .

      In conformity with the declaration of Mr . Bond at the last Council Meeting , " that the inhabitants of the hamlets in the township of Temple Newsam , within the borough , would have no objections to pay the last rates , provided a proper person were appointed to collect them . " Mr . Staxsfeld moved and Mr . Hebdex seconded '' That Mr . George Hanson , sergeant-at-mace , be appointed to act as overseer . within the respective hamlets of Coldcoates , Osmondthorpe , Skelton and Thomep , in the borough of Leeds , for the making , levying , collecting , and paying any borough rate or rates heretofore laid or assessed or" her eafter to be laid or assessed therein or thereon , by the Council of the said boroughpursuant to" the

      , statutes in that case made and provided . " Some conversation here ensued about paying this overseer ; the Town Clerk remarked that the whole work would not occupy more than five days , as there were only about twenty-five rate payers in each hamlet . He was interrupted by loud cries of " question , question , " by several gentlemvn , - whoit appeared had no great anxiety to enquire into the extent of the work . " Several gentlemen objected to the motion inasmuch as it seemed to imply that the decision to which the Council had come at the previous meeting -was erroneous ; and yet they had nad no specific reason shown why it was erroneous . After much debate which , however , more resembled a conversation between irritated parties than any thing else .

      Mr . Hayward meved as an amendment , and Dr Huster seconded— "That the resolution apply only to the collecting of the rates laid in October last , and any subsequent rates . " The Mayor then made a long speech in reference to the manner in which he had put the question » t the former meeting , which seemed to cause so much irritation . He said it was the mode adopted in the House of Commons , and to that august assembly they should look for their mode of procedure . ( Hear , hear , and a laugh . ) He should therefore put the question in the same way again , and would give every facility for gentlemen understanding what he meant . He then entered into a long explanation and defence of this mysterious and absurd mode of

      taking ^ the opinions of a meeting ; . and two or three Councillors still objected to its being adopted . The Mayor said that he should like the sense of the Council taken upon the matter ; but Dr , Williamson objected to that , as there was no notice on the paper . He was satisfied that the plan -would produce occasional confusion ; and he believed it did produce confusion in the House of Commons ; and that many country gentlemen frequently g aid "Aye" when they intended to say "No ; " and thus voted against their own intentions . Several other members spolte on the question ; but as it was incompetent lor a motion to be made on the subject , the matter was dropped , the Mayor containing to proceed in putting the question in the same mysterious shape , maintaing that , as it was a point order , it must remain with him .

      Mr . XHARLESWORTH still objected , and said that , after all the explanation bis Worship had riven on thematter , he still did not understand it / The Mayor replied , that if Mr . Charlesworth did not understand the point with Ma explanation , he would put it without any explanation , and perhaps he would understand it better . ( Hear , hear , and , 1 V j Y 0 B then Pnt tte 4 ° <« tion to the vote , aud th ? amendment was negatived by amajority of 16 : motion 2 T ¦ t ? , amendm « t 6 , for the original f ^ A- ^ explanation- which any member of the Council ddgneStogive of this strange proceeding , was pven by the Mayor , who said flfatT" //

      -; l ? i ea J" » n those hamlets was illegal , it could enft ! f ^ A J "ti t **?* ' " ** fat , ifoghTS be enforced . A poor reason for voting determinatelr on the question at the preceding meetiMv Mr , Gaukt then moved , andTMr . Bitwater seconded ,- " That the ojf ^ t declared afSe K meeting of the Conned , that the borough-rate at to the hamlets of Osmondthorpe , SkeltonT ColdcoaS and Thornes , previous to the Act-of 1 st Victoria ! cap . 81 , cannot be legally enforced , nmy be rescinded and erased from the mtnuUs . " He said that the resolution implied that what was done at the last meeting was irregular , and he believed it was so . It was bis opinion , the Council had no power whatever to determine what was legal and what was illegal . He did express at the time Bomefear as ' jb the question and he thought their duty . would . have Wn t «

      refer the whole matter to aeommittee . Upon the broad principfe , therefore , that what wag done at their last meeting was altogether absurd , and out of « " * way , lae moved his present motion .

Gaokt replied that the Council had no power to dfitermine -what was legal and what was illegal . Alderman Hall objected to the rescinding of the motion . —Mr . Baker protested against [ the Council coming to a -decision on a qnestion one ' 'day , and reversing that decision the next—Alderman tCLAPha > i had examined the acts , and he thought tliat they had come to a wrong decision ; they had : done so , " having had merely an ex-parte statement , and they bught j therefore , to expunge the resolution from the minutes . —Mr . Gawnt appealed to the consistency of the Council . They had already carried a resolution , appointing a person to entorce and

      collect these rates , and the resolution declaring them to be illegal must be rescinded , otherwise the motion which they had passed a few minutes before would be of no service whatever . He thought the Council should not have been entrappedwlhe mainerit wan . : ( Disapprobation and uproar . ) It was then moved that the votes on the question be recorded The following is the result : —For rescinding- the motion , Messrs .

Gaunt then" produced the report of the committee appointed to inquire into the case of the township of Farnley . He stated that it -was the opinion of that committee that the township of Farnleyvwasliable to pay the rates 00836 arid 1837 ) and moved that the ' teport be read , and entered into the minutes of the Council . —Seconded and carried . Dr . Hunter desired to be informed who had been the legal adviser of tli § Committee ? To which he was answered ! by the Mayor , that the legal gentleman employed was -Mr , Archbold . The Mayor also begged the attention of the Council to the fact , that the present overseers , Were about to go out of office , and it was important . they should know upon whom these rates were to Be levied .

      Mf . Buttrey said the overseers , who were there at the last meeting , certainly-went away with the impression , that the Council would allow them time to collect their rfites . He thought it would be very hard for the overseers to be subjected to warrants of distress , especially as they had gone away with the iinpressiou that a fair time would be allowed . ' - * The Mayor then read the fourth notice— "To submit to the Town Council the particulars of the expenses likely to be incurred in carrying into effect the provisions of the Act of 5 th and tftn / Win . IV ., cap . 76 , within the Borough of Leeds , uuto the . 1 st of October , 1838 , to the intent that the Council may estimate what'amount will be sufficient for the

      payment of these expenses ; and to move that the Council do , at the same Meeting , order a Borough Rate to raise the same . " The estimate of the Finance Committee for the next half-year , was read . No . 1 amounted to £ 2 , 893 . 10 s . ; No . 2 , £ 255 ; No . 3 , expense of the borough and quarter sessions , £ 1 , 190 ; No . 4 , £ l , ( i 50 ; No . 5 , £ 330 ; No . 6 , £ 765 ; No . 7 , £ 257 . 10 si ; lNo . 8 , £ 335 ; total , £ 7 , 67 ( 3 . Among the items estimated for was £ 5 for the keep of dogs , by order of the Justices ; £ 140 for miscellaneous expenses ,:- &c . « fcc , and several other items equally absurd and mysterious It was calculated thatoyarate of 2 Jd . in the pound s whieh would amount to about £ 3 , 9 / " 5 , and the penalties , &c . there would be a surplus cf ubout £ 16 beyond the estimate . > : The Mayor said that if all the rates had been paid that had already been levied , a balance would now

      have been remaining in the Treasurer ' s hands of £ 1 , 170 ; aud had . those Tafes been padd up , they could have , done with a rate of 2 d . in the pound , instead of 2 ii . He hoped in future the overseers would collect the rates as they were laid , and _ thus prevent trouble to themselves , inconvenience to the rate-payers , and the unnecessary waste ofthe time of the Council . ( Query . —Must the overseers collect the rates whether they are legal or not ? It appears that the new corporation system requires so much support , that it must be obtained in any fashion , legally or otherwise . ) It was then moved by Alderman Clapham , and Seconded b y Mr . "BakeR j that the estimate be ¦ received * and a rate of 2 id . m the pound made and levied ; A good deal of discussion eneued as to the item of £ 80 . for making out the Burgess list : and several members ofthe Council thought that ought to be included & the duties of the town clerk . v

      Mr . Hayward moved an amendment to the motion , to the effect that it be rejected altogether . He would never vote for one shilling of that estimate , especially when he considered that one item was £ 100 forthe conveyance of the inte of the new jail , for which he thought there was no necessity whatever . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) The motion for the reception of the estimates , &c . was then put and carried . The notice for the reconsideration of the town clerk ' s salary then follpwed .

      Mr . Charlesworth said , that in bringing this question again before the Council he might expose himself to obloquy ; but he never allowed any considerations of that nature to deter him from the performance of his duty . He disclaimed any personal motives towards the town clerk ; on the contrary , he would say that he believed Mr . Eddison had discharged the duties of his office with ability , zeal , and the strictest impartiality . This , however , was no reason why he Bhould have an exorbitant salary . After very careful investigation of the duties ofthe town clerk , ne was still convinced that £ 600

      was too much . He had supported the motion of Mr . Clarke for £ 400 ., and that he thought would afford the _ town clerk ample remuneration for his services . Under these considerations it might be asked why he now came to propose £ 500 ? simply for this reason ; because he thought there was more likelihood of £ 500 being carried than £ 400 . He had studiously avoided adverting to the proceedings of the last meeting , irregular as they appear to have been ; but he wished the question to be tried upon its own merits . With these obsenations he moved his resolution .

      Mr . Derham seconded the motion . After com bating some of the arguments of Dr . Williamson arii others , he said , considering that the Council ha that day ordered that distress warrants should b issued against the overseers , who came in bodies t tell them that the povert y of the rate payers was sue that they could not collect the rates;—he real ! thought after this , it was his duty to attempt ever thing whereby he could reduce thepublicexpenditur and prevent such a lavish expenditure of the publi funds . Speeches on the subject were made b Messrs . Watson , Bywater , Howard , ( who went 6 like a madman , and with his "for to be ' s" an " which it is , " dealt in the most dirohtuprsom

      invective ) Clarke , Baker , Hebden , and Williamsoi but none of them contained any thing which has n already appeared in our columns , except that M Baker said the Town Clerk had enlarged his esta lishment , and made agreements whichhecould n \ iolate ; and he had done this oil the good faith the Council . The question was then jwt t <> the vot For £ 600 : Messrs-. Baker , Barlow , ByWat « Clapham , Dickinson , Goodman ^ ttargreave , Hbl forth , Holdsworth , Howard , Hunter , Maclea , Peas Priestman , Robinson , Shackleton , Smith , - Stansfs ] Tatham , Watson , Whalley , Williamson , and Wooi For £ 500 : Messrs . Bower , Burrows , Buttre Charlesworth , Clarke , Derham , Dove , Haywar

      rieoaen , Moss , Musgrave , Whiteley , and Wilson Majority of ten for £ 000 . Ihe next notice of public interest was li to present and move the reception of certain resolutions ha \ ing reference to the general expenditure of the borough , adopted at a public meeting of the burgesses of Holbeck , held at the Commercial Inn ini the said towmhip , on the 10 th of February last and , further , to move such resolutions thereon ai may be deemed necessary . " This was introduced by Mr . Whalley , who said the burgesses of Holbeck complained ofthe amount ofthe Town Clerk ' s salary . Aliso of the exorbitant Borough-rate , which took half as mush as sppported their' poor . He

      mored a string x > f resolutions , adopted at a meeting of the burgesses ot ^ Holbeck , to the effect above stated , and which , after some slight discus-Bion , unworthy of further notice , were passed . At this time the Councp were reduced to a MeiJe quorum ; one mari leaving wonld have put an end to the business . The only notice of public interest which y ^ t remained to be discussed was Dh WiUianwonl * motion respecting a petition to Parlia ment for tne eatlalizatidh and reductibn of the postages of all letters . When we say that Dr . Williamson advocated the system of MT . RnwlanH

      Hill we have said quite enough . Our readers know what that is , and Dr . WiBiamson did not make use of a single remark which has not before been heard over and over ag-ain ; except that this system of equalization would put it in the power of the workmg g lasses to enjoy the luxury of epistolary coiTespond « ice , of whic \ many of them were now detirived mconsequeiice of the high rates of postage Mr .

Sir , —Mr . Wakley begs me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter , dated the 17 . th instant , and to furnish yoii with the following information on the subject to which it relates . :

      The Parliamentary Committee met on Thursday fortnig ht last , and agreed that the inquiry should commence with Glasgow , arid first and foremost with the Cotton Spinners' Association in that city . It will afterwards probably investigate the Cottoft Spinners' Asspdatidn of Manchester , arid then the Cotton Spinners ' : Associations in each other town of Scotland or England ; afterwards proceeding with the inquiries into the various other Trades' Combinations in the different parts of England . Two or three masters iu each town , and a sufficient number Of workmenito rebut the charges made against them , and to speak on behalf of the Trades' Associations , will be examined in each divisiori .

      C- The expenses of the witnesses in their journey to London , and for their stay here , will be defrayed by orders on , the Treasury . . No witness should come to London until summoned , as his expenses , before the summons is issued ) would not be paid by , the Treasury . ¦ ' ' ¦ ¦ ' - \ ¦ ¦; ' . . - ' ¦ ""'¦ ¦ , ' '" : ¦} '¦ : ¦ . ¦ - ' ¦ '' ¦ '¦ ..

      The second Meeting of the Parliameritary Committee has been postponed from " week to weeky owing , probably , to the difficulty of obtaining witnesses from airipng the masters , to sustain the gross arid unfounded charges which have been made in so many quarters against the working men . At present no new day of assembling has been named . The committee will sit twice a : week .
