NEWPORT TOWN COUNCIL.—ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the Newport Town Council was held at the borough-court. at noon on Saturday. ALDERMAN- Tow-NsEsi) proposed Mr. Wyndham Jones, as a fit and proper person to fill the office of mayor during the aligning year (great applause). Mr. BOLT had much pleasure in seconding the nomina- tion of Mr. Wyndham Jones. The MAYOR then put the question three times in the usual fo rm-Has any gentleman any other person to propose ? Taere being no response, the Mayor said I hereby de- clare Mr. Wyndham Jones duly elected to the oifice of mayer (loud and continued applause). Mr. HAURHY then vacated the chair, which was taken by the Mayor-elect amid general cheering. The MAYOR, having acknowledged the compliment paid him, proposed a vote of thanks t, Mr. David Harrhy for the manner in which he had carried out the duties apper- taining to the office of mayor during the past year. He has been very regular in his attendance at all meetings at which he presides. I don't know of auy meetings at which Mr. Harrhy has not been present to fulfil his posi- tion as mayor, and I therefore propose that the thanks of the Corporation be given to Mr. Harrhy for his services during the past year. Mr. ALDERMAN DA VIES hadgreat pleasure in seconding the proposition. Tile EX-MATOR briefly returned thanks. The Council then proceeded with the business of the annual meeting, which consisted of the formal appoint- went of committees. In presenting the report of the Finance Committee the question of advertising again cropped up, and was dis- cussed at considerable length. Dr. DAVIES presented his report, which was of a satis- factory character. At the close of the business the MAYOR intimated his intention of attending St. Wollos Church, and hoped to be honoured with the attendance of his colleagues. He proposed at a future date to himself the honour of in- viting them to dinner. The sitting was not of that protracted character which- attaohesto the annual meetings of the Council.
