It appeared that tho building was erected of wood, and not in accordance with the regulations. It had, however, been commenced befor« the new regulations carao into force, and hid a permit been applied for, it would have been granted. The Mayor moved, and Cr Burns seconded, that no action be taken, on Mr Vickers taking out a permit. Cr Montague moved, and it was seconded, that the Building Regulations be adhered ie.

In answer to Cr Montague, the Mayor stated that the leases on the Market Keseive on the opro eito side of the street fell in on August list. Cr Boardmau did not consider the Army and KaVy site the proper ono for the Town Hall. The sita was too small and the building would require to be built flash with two noisy (.treets.

Cr Crowther strongly advocated vho Army and Navy -ito, and expressed an opinion that a3 the hotel buildiug was uninhabitable £JSOO was a fair enough sum for the Lite. Even if they gavo £5000 or £6000 for the site, it would pay them better than to erect the hall on (he market reserve, tho rents from which in a few years would make up' the amount paid for Jagger's propeity. Cr Masefield would oppose the purchase of Jagger's Bite if £6000 or £7000 was to be paid for it. Crs Waddel and Aickinjpoko on tho necessity of proceeding with the Library.

The Mayor assumed that if the matter was referred to tho Finance Committee they would no doubt report re a site for tbe Library. The amendment was put and lost. Cr Boardman moved a furtber amendment, " That no further negotiations be made for tho purchase of Jogge. 's and 1 ally's properties." He said that with Lnliy's allotment the sito would cost them fully £8000. Cr Mackechuie secouded.

GOVERNOR'S SOUTHERN TOUR.

Banquet at Christchurcl,

(BY TSLK<JEAPH.-r R ESS ASSOCIATION,)

CHRI3TCHURCH, Thursday. ; THE Governor was entertained by h Mayor of Christchorch at a banquet i K th* Academy of Music to-night. About fin persons were present. -..

Heplyiog to the toast of trig health <;,■ - William Jervois said that his first * S^A tt Cbristchurch had been a source n Ito bounded pleasure to him, and was n 1 one, he tiu.ted, of many visits he «CX pay it. la the town he saw 2$ tbat brought to mind many ac tions relation to much of L" earlier period of his history. I n Cathedrfl bquare be saw the statue of an oldTf lo.gue in the War Office, John M' Usdley, whose sterlu-g qualities heT 6 remembered, nother man he rememb red I was Jameg Edward Fitzgerald, ■who"?' 1 knew in boyhood He (the Governor) Ba ! delighted and astonishedat thegieataMj,' taken by the place within half nf « period of his life. Thirty "i^f did not exist; now it was a th»!vi n ' city wi.h a thriving port, and remit^l him more tban other places m the wn.Ui old Eoglaud. The energy shown h« e ° one with that shown by the Anglo-Say,, race in America and Australia, and nil P Z of the woild, which should give themJn rei«on to be proud of the race and empire t which they belong. He ventured to predict tbat ere lon*, though not, perhapa, in h,, day, the question of the federation ofthi Brituh Empire would become a question if practical politics. Tue part thecolony had?,! play in this great scheme was sirnpiy to Z on developing its reiources. He regarded ft; debt as a thing that could eaily be iS* A country like Sew Ztaland, whUcawrfd support a population of ten times the aizeof' th« present, would have very litil. difficulty in paying ofi its debt, If he we™ able to do anything to advance the develop ment of tho colony he would be proud. anY happy to do so. de believed that tv colony should go on making railways, open ing up new country, and that it will become a nation numbered by millions, and a great factor in the British community. - Replying, to the toast of " Parliament" the Hon. J. T. Peacock expressed the opinion that the Legislative Council had the confidence of the country, and he hoptd the conßtitution of the colony would remain intect.

" MfMONTGOMBBr, M.H.8., said th»t every man in the flouse felt that the colony should become, as His Excellency said tha home of millions. They might differ as to the means of advancing the prosperity of the colony, but if they did not strive to advance it, the result would be stagnation. The colony had many important things to mm. taiu and advance such as public works and education, and he was sure that all membeii of Purliani«nt were anxious to beat thesein a manner calculated to advance the interests of the colony. r Other speeches of an unimportant chji ractur followed.
