Cemetery.—Cr Bell inquired if any. thing further hud transpired on this sn"i*«. ject, and the Town Cleik replied in tYt negative.—Cr Devore said he had also somethiog to say on this subject. He was informed on reliable authority that the present wet weather was calculated aa being likely to cause v. landslip on the Grafton side of the cemetery, while it was stated as being not unlikely lhat a slip would occur on the other sidu. As we were only two months from the hot weather, he thought that this question o£ cemetery should be taken up by the Com* niittee —He was also informed that it was not improbable that a pest would arise from the present state of the old ceme« ttry.—ihe Mayor said the question would ba placed on the order paper Tor the next meeting.

This concluded the business.

THE CITY COUNCIL AS LICENSE BROKERS.

(To the Editor.)

SIR, —Wo sometimes hear of sharp practice amongst sharebrokcrs, but the public ■will now give the palm to our City Councillors!, after leasing to the New Zealand Insur ance Company the block of land now occu pied by shops extending from the Post" Office to Queen-street, and including tho Waverley Hotel-the transfer of the license to sell grog being included in the purchase. The New Zealand Insurance a Company wisely declined to have anything to do with the traffic in drink, and tho friends ol temper ance were congratulating themselves that' they had got rid of one den of mischief; ' but our cute City Councillors were not content with selling tho lease of the pro perty and getting the money once, bothave : actually sold for £600 the Waverley license, thus getting paid twice over for the I same chance, for alter all it is only a mere chance whether the license is sf cured for , another part of the. city. There is a strange mixture of knavery and folly con nected with this affair that would be amuS- ' ing if the consequences that may follow V were not so serious. Our City Councillors are so eager to handle the five hundred pounds that they fail ito see the evils re sulting from the drink traffic. They ate bartering the body and soul every year of : one dm kard, [at least, for this additioral ; license, and will have one lunatic or more to support, and five or six committals to- Mount Eden Gaol; but these results do not affect the personal comfort of our Cily Councillors. Distressed wives and starving • children do not concern them. Money ana grog arc matters of first concern in the Council Chamber, so much so, with,, regard to the latter I loam, that every night's discussion is dependent upon sulliciency of grog to excite their drowsy intellects. Surely our Cit> Council lors should be the protectois of our morals, and not the destroyers of our virtues. To close my remarks, the purchaser must have jj i unbounded faith in the present Publicans • Licensing Committee doing his biddirjg, otherwise he would not calculate so con fidently upon removiuf; the Waverley license away from the present block to another part of the city. I wish to remind him that the* ratepay*l* of City Eaet will have something to say on the subject next ) ebruary, and be uiuy find his £300 thrown away, for X am sure he cannot find a tiu^le spot in tbe city where there is any uect*-ity i<>r another public-house, and "public neces sity " will, I truet, guide the councils oi the future Licensing Committees in grant ino; or refusing renewals of licenses,--! am,Ac, Joseph Newman.
