LEED 3 TOWN COUNCIL .
The first quarterly meeting of the Council of the Borough of Leeds for the municipal year 1843-4 , was held on Thursday last , the 9 ih of November , at twelve o ' clock as noon , for the election of a Mayor of the BoroBgh for the ensuing year ,, and for the transaction of other bnaness . Altogether there were thirty p-nt-ripa on the notice-paper , « ighieen of irluch were under the Municipal Act , - and the i « - Tnnwiing twelve under the Improvement and Burial Ground Acts . There was a very large attendance of members , as Trill bejobserved by the following list : — AiDEBMES—Willans , Oates , Mnsgrave , Hebden , G » unt , Maclea , Bateson , Goodman , Stansfeld , Totiie , Pawssn , Pease , Lnpton , Lueeock , and Jackson .

The small portion of the Council Chamber appropriated to i £ e use of spectators was crowded to
ELEGnoa or matob . The Tows Clebb . having r * ad the minutes of the last meeting of the Council , which -were signed by Mr . Marshall , who presided at that meeting , Hekbt Cowpkb Marshall , Esq ., ( tha Mayor , ) opened the proceedings by reading the first entry on the notice-paper , which was— To elect a * Mayor for the year ending the 9 ih November , 1844 /' Alderman Tottxb S 3 id that he rose for the pnrpose of proposing to the Council a gentleman for the office of Mayor for the year ensuing , who , he thought , -was entitled to that situation both from his eminence as a mercantile man , the longstanding of his family in the town , and the public spirit he
had on many occasions manifested . He ' proposed to them Jjdennan Hamer t > tansfeld to be elected Mayor , ( Applause . ) He did not mean , in what heflatf said , to adopt all the political sentiments TTfciea his friend 3 > Ir . Stansfeld had on some occa-HoMMidopted ; but he was quite persuaded of this , that the responsible situation in which he would be placed , if elected , would so far absorb ill his political feelings as not to interfere with the proper discharge of the important dnties he would have to perform . ( Hear , hear . ) He did not $ risa further to occupy the time of the Council , as he thought what he had said jnstified him in proposing that Hamer Stansfeld , Esq . should be Mayor of this Borongh for the year ending 9 ih -of November , 1844 . ( Applause . )
Alderman Pa * wsoh said he had great pleasure in Eeeonding the proposition . Mr . Hobsok said that he had several objections to the ge&tleman who had just been proposed . In the first place , he had beeninfennedthat the gentleman had been a bankrupt , and he me not aware whether he had ever obtained his certificate . If not , he believedhy the 52 nd section of the Municipal Act , he would be legally disqualified from holding the office of Major . He wished to ask of the Town-Clerk whether this objection was valid or not . The ITows-Clebk Eaid that any . person holding the office of May or j A l derman , or Conncillor , would , if he became bankrupt dnring the time of holding Each office , be legally disqualified from continuing to hold it , but not otherwise .
Mr . Hob = o » would waive the point ; but another objection which he had to Mr . Stansfeld was , that hej being ex-efficio a member of tho late Board of Improvemem Gummisaoner 3 , attended there only twice ; and then on ' y for the purpose of illegally voting xhe public money , in order to defray the expences oJ obtaining the New Improvement Act ; and as a proof Vdk the money -was illegally voted away , the

Council , after the Act was obtained , paid back the money . He had another reason .. As head of the magistracy , the gentleman whopheld the office of Mayor ought to be one ot prudence and temper in periods of public excitement ; and he was given to understand that during the excitement of August , 1842 , Mr , Stansfeld exhibited anything but prudence and temper . ( Cries of " No , no" from the Whigs . ) He had it in charge from Mb constituents , -who were also the constituents of the present Mayor , to propose that that gentleman ( Mr . Marshall ) should be re-elected to the office . Their reasons were , and in those reasons he himself coincided , that he ( Mr . Marshall ) was the first Mayor who had laid down a principle of fairness to all
parties ; And he understood that no gentleman had exhibited » greater aptitnde for business . These were qualifications ' that loudly called upon the Council not to lose the services of one so eminently qualified to serve them . For these reacons , and in obedience to the call made upon him by his constituents , be begged to propose that Henry Cowper Marshall , Esq . be the Mayor for the ensuing year . The Matob rose and said , that before the Council procr ^ ded any further with the discussion of this question , he must be allowed to express his sentiments on the proposition last made . Whatever be might have thought it his duty to do—and bis friends well knew what his wishes were on this subject—he could not , under any circumstances , for a
moment entertain the proposition that he Bhould re-occupy the chair upon the arguments that Mr . Hobson had adduced—( hear , hear ) . He could not consent to be pnt there on the ground that his friend Mr . Stansfield wa-j in any way disqualified from occupying the chair , and more especially in reference to his conduct during the period te which Mr . Hobson had alluded—( hear , hear ) . He must also protest against another argument . urged by Mr . Hobson . He had stated that he ( Mr . Marshall ) had b : : m the first Mayor who bad acted impartially in tbe discharge of his offire . He could rot consent to be appointed Mayor with snch an imputation upon his predecessors—( bear , hear ) . He trusted , therefore , that the council would not allow this matter to proceed any further , and that Mr . Hofcon ' s proportion would not be seconded —( hear , hear ) .
Alderman Lufton made seme remarks in vindication of the conduct of Mr . Stansfeld during the disturbances in August , 1842 . He could bear wit- , ness to the admirable manner in which Mr . Stansfeld discharged bis dnties as a magistrate at that time —{ hear , hear ) . He thought Mr , Stansfeld stood pr ominently forward to occupy the chair which Mr . Jarshall had to worthily filled —( applauLe ) . Mr . JBowzb was amazed at the attack that had been made upro Mr . Stansfeld . As a magistrate , and as a member of that C ) uncil , he had shown himself to be an honourable and consistent man . He was sorry to see his namesake , Josftua Hobson , going against the only man that came near to the political principles held by hinuelf and Mr .
Hobton . Mr . Stansfeld came nearest to him ( Mr . Bower ) of any man in that roem in his political principles—( hear , hear ) . Mr . J . Atbinsor , in rising to propose the name of another gentleman eaid he did not expect that he had the smallest prospect of success , composed as the council now was j bnt he did not think it less his duty to propose Mm on that account . He could not help alluding to the glaring inconsistency of certain psitie 3 , who , having succeeded some years ago in demoying the ancient corporations of this kingdom , by a cea'eless cry of " monopoly , party exclusiveness , " and so forth , had never ceased from that hour to strain every nerve and to exert every energy of mind and of body to enact a still more
stringent and still closer monopoly in favour of their own party —( hear , hear ) . The same charge of inconsistency could not be brought against the old Corporations ; for they acted in conformity with the principle ! on which they were constituted . The law deemed that there was a certain Bet of principles in which to repose confidence , and that the parties professing them ought to be clothed with authority ; and , therefore , the patties themselves in electing men exclusively of those opinions , were not acting inconsistently with the principles on which the old Corporations were constituted . But those who thought democracy the better principle , and who had overthrown tbe old Corporations on account of their monopoly and exclusireaess , were
acting contrary to their principles when they sought to exclude , from all corporate offices , men who differed from them in political opinions—( hear , hear ) . They had yet to learn , and England had to learn , all the evils that tha upsettting of the old law and the substitution of the new would work in this kingdom . Parties were eager to evoke the spirit of democracy ! but it would be well if they did not find that it would present itself , as it ever had done , as the demon of discord . Notwithstanding the marvellous unanimity which appeared to * xist on the other side of that chamber , he knew that some amongst them , in their secret hearts , were now afraid of the spirit they had helped to evoke . ' and would be willing to make large sacrifices if they could charm it back to its former silence . But it would progress ,
to their discredit ; -for more daring spirits had assumed the principles which tht j had professed , and were determined to work them out . It was confessed throughout the country , and well known to be true , that the attempt to crush the old Corporations was a political attempt of one party to crush another , and build themselves upon its ruins . He then again referred to the exolusiveness which had been manifested since the establishment of the new Corporation . Year after year they hai loaded with authority and crowned with benefits the retainers of their own political party . At that very moment , one of the most prominent of the party had avowed that he supported the gentleman proposed on the other Bide , because he came nearest to his own political opinions , Mr . Boweb—I said something before that .
Mr . Atkinson—Then I will correct myself by saying , that whatever motives you may have had for fnpponing Mr . Stansfeld , you first , and above all , put forward that he is a mo 3 t fearless advocate of democratic principles . Mr . Boweb . —That was the last , not the first—( laughter ) . Mr . Atkinson was not very solicitous about the oriel in which it was pnt , or whether first or last , it was certain ' y put forth as the most prominent argument in favour of Mr . Stansfeld ; and there could be no doubt that this was * the great charm of tins nomination in the eyes of such gentlemen as the one lie had alluded to—( bear , bear , and applause
by the Conservatives ) . He would ask them , was there no man amongst those who differed from them in political opinions , who was qualified for the office of Mayor ! He should propose to them no new name . Those with whom he acted in that chamber had frequently brought him before the Council , and it was needless that he should enlarge on the claims and pretensions of his friend Mr . Councillor Bramhy to occupy that chair —( applause from the Conservatives ) . He therefore concluded by proposing that Mr . Bramley should be the Mayor for the ensuing year—( hear , bear ) . Mr . J . R Atkinson seconded the proposition . He had no doubt that Mr . Bramley , If elected , vroald fill the office of Mayor with honour to himself , and in an impartial and satisfactory manner .
Alderman Gaunt thought that many of Mr . John Atkinson ' s remarks were irrelevant to the subject . It was well known , pr ior to the last Municipal Election , that Mr . Stansfeld would probably be proposed as Mayor , and the men who had bun returned by the burgesses sufficiently showed that there was a clear and decided feeling in favour of their worthy friend—( hear , hear ) . Mr . Cbavsn also supported the nomination of Mr . Stansfeld . Mr . Cliff had been surprised at the conduct of Mr . John Atkinson , who , while deprecating the introduction ot political matter into the Council ,
had himself made one of the most political speeches he had ever heard made there . If there was not inconsistency here , he did not know where to find it . He was glad , howerer , to le&ra from Mr . Atkinson , that the spirit of democracy , which had so much alarmed him , was growing and increasing in power . That circumstance was no source of alarm to him ( Mr . Cliff ) j but , on the contrary , he rejoiced that it was so —( hear , hear ) . He confessed that he was astonished at the comparison which had been made between the conduct of the Old Corporation aod the new . Was there no difference between the Council as at
present constituted , when the people chose their own representatives , and the old Corporation , who elected themsslvesi The monopoly now , if there were one , was with the free voice of the people . In his opinion , local as well as national government onght to be in the hands of the people ; and he was glad to see in municipal matters , that the people had exercised their judgment in the way they had done . The whole gist of the thing was that the voice of the people was unf&roarable to the political principles of Mr . Atkinson and his party , ( Cheers from the Radicals . ) For his own part , he rejoiced in having an opportunity of giving his vote in favour of Mr . Stansfeld .
The nomination of Mr . Marshall not having been seconded , there were only two candidates before the meeting—Mr . Stansfeld and Mr . Bramley . On the question being put , only eleven hands were held np for Mr . Bramley , and Mr . Stanrfeld was consequently elected by a large majority . The Serjeant-at-Mace was then called in , and removed the gold chain of office from tbe person of Henry Cowper Marshall , Esq ., < Counoillor , ) and the same w&s immediately placed upon Mr . Stansfeld .
Mr . Soansfeld , having made the usnal declarations , took bis seat as the May or of the Borongh and the Chairman of the Council , amidst the applause of hiB friends . These plaudits having subsided , tbe newly elected Mayor returned thanks . He said he was deeply sensible of the great hononr they had couferred upon him by electing him to the office of Chief Magistrate . He was equally sensible of the great responsibility that was attached to it ; and in the performance and discharge of its important duties , he ieared that in some respects he might be foiled wanting , but relying npon the experience and

kindness of his pred . c-xors and on the indulgence of the Council he had undertakes the office determined to promote , to the best of his ability , the real interests of his fellow townsmen . It might be thought by some , that having taken a warm and active part in the agitation of political questions , he was not likely to proceed with the strictest impartiality . He trusted , by his conduct in the chair , to prove the contrary ; and that the having done Irs dutyaia citizen by advocating zealoual" the opinions which he held to be cofrot , would o ro bar to his discharging faUhfaHy the duties of the mayoralty—( hear , hear ) . There was only one remark which he should think it nccr ary '? not ? - : and hedid it on
their account , because be thought it due to then that the character of their Chief Magistrate should be purged from even tbe sbsdow of a st ? n . ( Hear , hear . ) In tbe yea ? 1826 , it was true , he wai connected with a concern which wrs nol pro'porous . After that be got bis cerf'ficate , and he had sine 3 then paid sciriof ironey whVi . with intarnt to tbe precent time , amounf 1 ' o £ 1 S , C 3 O . ( Ht . 7 » , sad applause . ) He still continued to pay , and should do so , until he had pnui 0 $ what be nrf ; iv * --i would be bis share . ( Applause . ) In cor elusion be begged again to thank the Council for the honour they had conferred aponMm . and they would now proceed to business .

made to Mr . Stans ' eld were strictl y on persona ' , and not on pDlif ' cr * , gourds ; and he was sure every person present woi i 'd be glad that tbe observations had t on made , as they had given the opportunity to Mr . Str-sfe'd to make the Btatemen which he-tad done . There wr' one grourd , bowever , which was still lei untouched ; Mr . Stansfe'e had given to explanation of h s conduct in having attended at the meeting of Improvement Commissioners , to vote away the sum of £ 500 out of the rcnple ' s money to an i'lezr . purpose .
The Mayor rose , and was about to explain , when he was met by cri - of Quest-on , " from tho'e who teemed afraid of too much truth coming out- He therefore put the motion to the zaijt ' . rg wb ch was oarried without a dissentient . Mr . Marshall returned thauks avd express i the gratification he felt at the manner in whioh the vote had been proposed and received . At the conclus i on of Mr .

Councillor Jackbox said be observed there were accounts due to the proprietors of the Mercury , Times , and Intelligencer , but none to the Northern Star ; he wished to . know why the advertisements belonging to the Borough were excluded from that paper I . Aid , Tottie said the Committee bad only to deal with the bills whioh bad been presented ; perhaps the reason why there was no account from the Northern Star was that it had not been preientcd . Mr . Hobson—For the simple reason that there were no accounts to present . The Council then resumed ; the Chairman reported progress , and the bills were ordered to be paid . *

Mr . Hobson , after referring to the requirements contained in the 82 ad clause of the Municipal Act , proposed that the words " the 9 th of November , 1844 , " in the body of the notice , be omitted , and that the words , ** the second Wednesday in February , 1844 , " be substituted in their stead ; also tbat the following additien be made at tbe end of the notice : — " Until and including the said second Wednesday in February , 1844 ; they reporting to the Counoil at the said quarterly meeting what
number of constables they have appointed , suspended , or dismissed ; with the instances in which they have ordered the payment of such further sums , either a ? rewards or compensation , and the reasons for the payment of such further sums , tbat they may receive the approval or otherwise of the Council . " Mr . Hobson supported bis proposition , but the majority of the Council would not be convinced , nor beaten out of the old track , and on the amendment being put from the chair it was lost , aud the original motion was o&iried .

• 7 * 5 propositions m this notice were severally S f by Mr Marshall . Tbe wpprt of the Committee stated thai io the plan furnished by ££ ?*!*» & £ * Moffat the fifst priw had ' beeJ awarded , and that plan had received the sanction of Sir Jamn Graham , The Committee fnuld not fS J « 3 with Messrs , Hurst and Moffat , for £ ™? ? k i ^ t 0 wpetintend the erection of the E ? f r ! l ! ? , « ' »^ d they therefore sought the sanction of the Council to an rvjreement which they had made with Messrs . Perkin and B = 3 khouce ( to whom the second prize hid been awarded ) for that purpc 0 . These gentlemen bad estima ? 1 the total c 3 t , including everything tece ^ ar ? to put the gaol ^! a « A /? mpllete foroooupafop , at the sum of £ 40 , 560 , and they would under ; ke to fiishitfor that sum .
Previous to tbe mrciuct ' on oZ this qu Hon , reveral instances hp \ »? a ? ird where Mr . Hoi . on aud other members of t + VSirv i hadb n de-am i out of order" ia a ^ emprn ? to eddre-js the chair more than once on any qucsiion ; aid this being out of order' now received a further illustration . Here was a large sum of moneyabout tabs voted out of the earnings of the people , in order to build aad fiirdl 8 h a IL 6 W-gaol ,--and » - in ordet- to exhibit ai lar ^ e aahare Of the love of economy as possible , a haifydarly rate of three farthings in the paund only , was proposed to be ra scd in order to defray the cc t .

remarks on this three-iarihing rate , when he wrstopped at once , and told he win - ' out of order , " upon which he bowed and relircd to his 13 at . Mr . Hobson then rose and said , that in order to give r - much freedom n po-ib ! e to the debate , and that gentlemen should not be put down by ori -. of *» spoke , spoke , " »» question , question , " he should move "That the Mayor leave the chair , and that the C mncU do resolve itself into a C « mmit * ce of the whole House , Mr . George Goodman in the chair . " Mr . Craven second : ! the proportion , aid & 7 « . Jackson moved that the votes be r ; orded . A most disorderly altercation follow . 1 , duriis whioh Mr . Tottie , a friend to strict order , wn up
several times , and made as many si ; eoh- in defence of the ga ol and all its attendant expense . The whole affair seemed very much like a fighting —jaioet time , aad it wa 3 evident that the recurd of the votes wa 3 not al all rel'shed . On . the rotes being recorded , the qir-tion wai lo I by a majority of 40 against 5 . The following members voted : — For Mr . Hobson ' a proposition—Councillors Craven , Jackson , Barrett , Hob : on , and Wilton ( Bramley Ward ) . Against it—Aldermen Willans , Oates , Musgrave , Hebdon , Gaunt , Maolea , Ba * ; -on , Goodman , Tottie , Pawson , Pease , Lupton , Luccock , and Jackson .
Councillors William Smith , Biroball , Moorhonce , Watson , Carbutt , John Wales Smith , White , Heapj , Holmes , Hornby , Brumfit , Dufton , Barlow , Sellers , Yewdall , Dickinson , France , Broadhead , Bower , Arthington , Wclker , Hale , Marshall , Cliff , Whitehead , and Ingham . A very long discussion ensued on the several propositions enumerated , but ultimately , as a matter of conrse , they were all carried , and the sum necessary for building the Gail wn ordered to be borrowed . This sum , aa above stated , isrtimatri at £ 40 , 560 { the three farthings' half-yearly rate will raise , it is estimated , the sum of 41 , 400 , which will pay the interest , and liquidate a small portion of the principal every half year ; and the whole sum will require a
considerable number of years to ensure its liquidation , the interest on the slowly-reducing sum originally borrowed being regularly paid . The real coat of the Gaol , therefore , will be the amount borrowed , and the interest paid for it , during all thc % years . Tbe Committee oho . en to commence the spending of this large sum of money were the following : —Aldermen Oate ? , Bateson , Tottie , Pea : 3 , Luccock , Maolea ; Councillors Yewdall , Marshall , Carbutt , Jackson , J . R . Atkinson , Wikon , Cliff , Whitehead , Butler , Newsam . Mr . Craven wanted an alteration in this committee : he proposed to reduce the number of Aldermen on it to three , and to nominate , instead of Messrs . Maclea and Luooook , Messrs . Sellers and Moorhouse ; and , instead of A'deraan Bateson , Mr . Hobson .
In reference to the nomination of Mr . Hobcon instead of Alderman Bateson , that gentleman said tbat he felt much obliged to Cninnillor Craven for the motion he had made ; but he begged to tell him that there was no chance of its being carried . It had been arranged beforehand , at a private meet ' ing of a portion of the body , aad numbers bad conspired together to carry out the arrangement , tbat he should not be placed on any Committee of power or influenC 3 ; while they had also arranged toplaoe him on all the Committees whioh devolved work upon their members . To such an arrangement , or to such disgraceful and reprobatery proceedings , he would be no party ; nor would he permit himself to be used in the way these g entlemen wished , who had presumed to Bit in judgment on his character and conduct , even in his
absence . He thought the business of the Council ought to be transacted in the Counoil chamber ; and that every member there should stand on independent and equal grounds . That was his position ; aad no private meeting , or cabal , or beforehand arrangement should drive him from it . As for the particular motion that Mr . Councillor Craven had made respecting himself , ( Mr . Hobson ) , perhaps bis main reason for moving it was that he ( Mr . H . ) had perhaps more knowledge of prisons than any member of the Counoil ; and as he perhaps stood the best chance of them all to increase that practical knowledge , Mr . Craven deemed it right that he should be on the Committee to make their own prison as com fortable as possible . ( Laughter . ) Mr . Craven ' s proposition was negatived .
; Mr . Hobson proposed an alteration in one of the resolutions , and that also met with the same fate ; and Mr . John Wales Smith wished to do away with the Chaplain ' s house ; beoause he thought they could do without a chaplain at all . It was explained to him , however , that it was imperative on them to have a chaplain , and also to provide him a bouse , and he therefore withdrew his proposition .
PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE . On the motion of Mr . Maclea , the Mayor , Aldermen Oates , Lupton , and Luccock , aud Councillors Cliff and Marshall , were appointed a committee for the year ending 9 th November , 1844 , to watch the progress <> f any Bills which may be introduced into Parliament affecting the Borough of Leeds , with power to expend any sum not exceeding £ 50 .

BnuMFiT , the following weie nominated the Committee for the ensuing year to transact all business conneoted with the valuation of tbe Borough , and the obtaining and printing maps or plans thereof , namely , the Mayor , Aldermen Smith , Luccock , Jackbon ; Councillors Newsam , Holmes , Weddill , Cliff , Holroyd , John Atkinson , and Butler . Mr . Marshall moved that they be empowered to accept an offer made by the Board of Ordnance to furnish a copy of their map of the central part of the Borough , at an expenco not exceeding £ 150 .
: Mr . Luccock seconded and supported the motion . It was opposed by Mr . Yewdall , Mr . Craven , Mr . Bower , Mr . Hall , Mr . Hobson , Mr . Barrett , and Mr . Heaps , and oa a division , the votes being re * corded , was lost by 21 to 16 . Tho following voted : —For thus uselessly spending the people ' s money—Aldermen Gaunt , Maclea , Bateson , Goodman , Tottie , Pawson , Pease , Lupton , Luccock , and Jackson ; Councillors Birohall , Carbutt , Dickinson , Arthington , Marshall , and Wilson . Against spending the money—Councillors Moorhouse , Watson , Craven , Jackson , John Wales Smith , White , Heaps , Holmes , Hornby , Brumfit , Barrett , Sellers , Yewdall , Franco , Broadhead , Bower , Walker , Hall , Cliff , Hobson , and Ingham . Mr . Marshall then proposed , and Mr . Hall seconded , —
' That the Committee arrange with Mr . Masser to complete his lithograph of the map of the Borongh of Leeds . " This proposition was agreed to by a majority of 21 to 12 . repairs' committee . On the motion of Mr . Brumfit , the Mayor , Aid . Pawson , Lupton , and Musgrave ; and Councillors Strother and Heaps , were appointed a committee to super in tend the repairs and alterations in the corporate buildings for the ensuing year . STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE . On the motion of Mr , Marshall , the following were appointed : —The Mayor , Aldermen Goodman , Pawson , and Lupton ; Councillors John Atkinson , Cliff , and Marshall ; with power to expend a sum not exceeding . £ 50 ; te revise the standing orders , and to eeport thereon to the Council ; &o .
n FEINTING COMMITTEE . Mr . Jackson moved that this Committee consist of the Mayor , Councillors Kelsall , Strother , John Atkinson , White , Sellers , Whitehead , and Hobson , to obtain estimates for printing the municipal lists , and to report thereon to the Council . When this motion was made , it being the first in which Mr . Hobson ' a name appeared according to the " arrangement" of which he before had spoken , he objected to serve upon the committee . Hedid bo , because his nomination was not a spontaneous or independent act of the mover . It was the result of a cabal ; and he would not submit to it .
The appointments of a printer and a stationer were referred to this Committee , the miscellaneous work to be in the meantime executed by Mrs . Mann ; and Mr . T . W . Green to continue to furnish the stationary . ALDERMEN OF WARDS . The Council then proceeded to nominate the Aldermen to preside n th ° > different Wards at [ Municipal Elections for the enduing year .

" This proposition drew forth some pertinent remarks from the proposer and other members , in the course of which the imbecility and utter inefficiency of numbers of the present " fores" were very happily illustrated ; though some of the admirers of the system , who tea in it the p rfection of human wisdom « expressed great surprise at such a notice having been placed on the paper .
The motion , on being put to the vote , was negatived , i This was the whole of the business under the Municipal Act , } and the Counoil then proceeded with the notices under the
