The Presdideut thereupon declared the Hoard adjourned to Monday, March '27, at o'clock 1'. M. Ukmiy McCi.oskkv, City Clerk. The Profligacy of the Times. If any of the frugal old Dutchmen, or economical Yankees who dwelt about Manhattan in the neighborhood of ninety years ago, wero permitted to walk for a limo again tho streets of these cities, with which thoy wore once familiar, they might tell a tale of chango and wonder which would throw the surprises and observations ol Rip Van Winkle entirely in the shade.

Instead of witnessing the quaint and stable metropolis they left, with its hardworking, unostentatious and honest population modestly attired in plain and serviceable dress, living cheaply, but comfortably, regarding the Sabbath, reverencing age, anxious and careful for a correct administration of public affairs and zealously protecting all the landmarks, old writs anil old charters of republican liberty, what a contrast would appear? New York is perhaps nearer Paris, to day, with all the gayeties, vices, show and extravagance which the pleasure seeking passions of the French peoplo havo enabied them to accumulate in their favorite metropolis after centuries of metropolitan dissipation. Tho strangest feature of this rapid chango is the plentitudo of money, which apparently prevails upon all hands. A few years ago a man was considered well off if ho owned a houso and lot and kept a moderate bank account. Now the amount necessary to make these possessions is deomed only tho ordinary annuity necessary for the support of a respectable family. Then a young man was doing well, and had tho commendation of wiso old business mcu if be bad five hundred dollars ahead.

Now tho same young gentlemen is uneasy if cloak and dress and laces, fully up to that amount in value, are not ready auy day for his wife's piomauado. Then a shilling or eighteen pence answered for dinner down town. Now a dollar is getting off cheap. Then ho could read his two cent newspaper, and smoke his five cent segar, in full assurance that he was keeping pace with tho best of his times. Now while tho newspaper is but a trifle more, bis lip never curls with proper grace unless the Etavanua has cost between twonty and thirty cents.

Then he courted his plain dressed laithful sweetheart in the antique front room, while tho old lady knitted, and the old man quietly smoked his pipe in tho bad Now Charles Augustus hurries from bis ordinary rounds of dissipation to take bis gcntlo Annie," with his whito kids, lieslily curled hair and dyed moustache to listen to a high strung lovo drama at tho Theatre, or while away an hour in tho lolling grandeur of tho opera. This is all very well as a picture of high life and of so called harmless dissipation; but its paintod emulation of the aristocracy of England or France or Germany; its absorption of the better virtues, its gono rnted arelessness of tho franchises and free laws of tho country, as well as its gradual abandonment of the duties of man to tho State, to tho wants of society and the morality of the world, are most potent agencies in creating all the forms and opening all the avenues for tho establishment of an imperial system of government, with all tho wicked cities, vicious social life and suffering poverty that invariably follow such a consnmation. VIEWS OF CORRESPONDENTS. Card from Dr. Mahon To Ike Editor of Ott Brooklyn Eagle: My attention has been called to an article in yonr paper of March 0th, headed, "End of tho Boardsloy Divorce Caro," and which purports to give an account of tho divorco auit tried in 16G0.

Without complaining of what I consider the general unfairnesss of tho artlelo as it regards myself, I yet cannot submit to the iraputi lion aeeinst my profefsiona! reputation, which is contained in the last tontenco of tho article, and I resp 'ct fully request a prompt and explicit withdrawal oi the charge alluded to. Your obedient Eorvant, James Fkahois Mahon, II. YottKvrLLE, March 18, 165. As there was nothing in tho Eagle which can bo con stnied into an imputation on our part against tho professional reputation of Dr. Mohon, wo havo no chargo to withdraw.

The article of which Dr. Mahon complains, was a rcportorial Bummary of tho Beardsley case. Wo expressed no opinion of our own. It was said in tho article that Dr. Mahon's practice wob not of the most do.

sirablo charactor that 1b, as appeared, or was sought to bo shown, on tho trial. But as wo know nothing of Dr. Mabon personally, any moro than of acores of othir Now York doctors, and as Dr. Mahon claims that his practice is desirable, wo have nothing worse to wish him than that ho may ccntinuo for half a century to enjoy it. The Democratic Partr Dead.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: The Democratic Purtyi as re organized at Chicago, was deaolished in Novomber; its mission has ended, it has ceased to exiBt; its elements ot opposition to the administration Biirvive, but thoro is no bond or principlo of cohesion among them. Thoy aro cast looso without a platform, without a leader and without a purpose. iV. F. Ueratd.

Tho demise of tho Democratic party had oecurrod so many times iu tho last ten years, and so mauy funeral orations have been pronounced and dirges suug by the opposition, it is not at all etrongo that the philosopher who presides over tho columns of the Ileratd Bhould cumo to think that tho repeated declaration is really true. In Mb case, bb in that of others, no doubt tho wish is father to tbo thought, The elements of politicU strength iu tho Democratio party, shown by the immense minority vote in all tho States and in the recent national election, aro positive indications that tho party still lives, and that, too, amid the fires of relentless persecution and abuse. Look at tbo feeble tenure by which tho opposition to tbo Democracy hold tho great States of New York and Pennsylvania, their majorities absolutely not amounting to one quarter of their legitimate extra vote consequent upon the influence of Federal office holders and administration patronago, as demonstrated in tho recent election. Look, too, at tho minority vote in the Presidential election seo its gigantic proportions and consider that ovory hand that cast a vote for McCIellan was branded as the hand of a traitor by the hirelings of tho Administration and you havo the evidences ot Iifo in this dead party indicative of second life or a tremendous resurrection in the process of time. The fact is, tbo power that now lies in a measure dormant in the Democratic niasBesis thesouino of continual terror to tho radical men who now control the government, and they know and ferl that but a rulllo of political excitement might possibly assumo proportions that would end in sweeping them from power, and demonstrating the inviolability and integrity of the timc houored principles ot the Democratic party.

Certain it is, that ae the practical application of these priuciplos rusao Iho country what it was in prosperity aud happiness belore tho relentless and cruel hand ot civil wur was upon us, bo now, if peace ever comes, it must bo tho development of the eamo principles that can savo the Republic rom absolute ruin. Aud this is tbo party "demolished in November," wht se "mission is ended;" "ithasceaBedtoexist." Moro untruthful words were never written. (The Democratic party doadi It is au impossibility. It will live aB long as tho names of Jefferson and Jackson live. It can die only when its principles die, and those principles aro the landmarks of Constitutional liberty.

When the lair fabric of a republican government, originally tho fruit of concession between peoplo of diverae sectional intorests, the oheck and balauco of which was the Constitution, which all Democrat revore, tails to tho ground, then only can tho Democracy dio, and that can never como without a desuerato though dying effort to avert tho impending deatrurtion. The Democratic party dead I So says the shrewd philosopher of tho Herald, and who, it is Bald, has been recently tendered the French mission. May ho not deem it rather unpleasant ono of these days to be recallod from the Court of Franco by 0 power that now lies not only behind the throne at Paris but tho throno at Washington I The thing very rooaonubly might happen, and upset completely what he calls Tho NewEpoch and tho Prospects before us." The Democratic party dead Domocrats do you hoar that? Let it to an incentive to renowed diligence in perfecting your organizations for coming work. This present war will not always last. Brought on by tho bad men, ii will ceaso when the peoplo como to their Bensea and interposo tho power of the peoplo over that of ambitious and corrupt political leaders.

Heaven grant tho day may soon como, that it may dawn before another hecatomb of five hundred thousand husbandB and brothers and sons aro sacrificed. Possess your souIb in patienco till the coming of tint day. It is no timo to die now. There is work to bo done, Paesion will soon give way to tho joyful reign of peace, and then the country is to be saved from tho whirlpool towards which the efforts of radical hotheats who seek to contdnuo the government aro now drawing ub. Then it will bo that the conservative masses of tho Democracy aro to enforce obedience, North and South, to tho Constitution, and tho precopta of tho fathers of the Bepub Bc.

This iB the great work to be porformed by the yet Uving and glorious Democracy. Sppbhawk. in the E. D. into tho ohargo of Colonel J.

THE MILITIA AND THE DRAFT. FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION. A considerable amount of routine business was transacted at tho meeting of tho Common Council last evening, which will be found in the official report in another column Most of it, however, was of a local nature. Tho following are tho most important matters which came before them, THE REVOLUTIONARY MAIiTYBS. The ingratitude of Republics is nowhere on this continent moro aptly illustrated than it is in this city, by the condition of the tomb, neglected, dingy and dirty ooking, in Hudson avenue, where ho the bones of over 1,000 of tho victims of tho British prison ships during tho Revolution.

Year alter year, reaching back for a ong period, efforts have beeu mado by public spirited ndividuals to arouso enough of a generous feeling of patriotism to purchase a propor Bito for a grave and have tho sacred bones removed to a proper monument erected over them, and at one time matters had progressed so far that a day was actually filed for tho ceremony to take place, but the arrangemonts fell through and tho matter as been lost sight of since. Last evening it was brought beforo tho Common Council in a communication from John T. llildreth, asking that body to donate a Bito on Fort Greene for the burial ground, and suggesting that a fund should bo raised for tho erection of a monument. On motion of Aid. Belknap the mattor was referred to the Committee on Parks, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ANOTHER ITEM.

A few weeks since a communication wag received from the Tolice Commissioners in Now York, complaiu ingof the accommodations furnished in tho City Hall to the Chief of tho police department in this city. Tho matter was referred to tho Committee on Lands and BuildingB, and Ijst evening that committee presented a report iu relation to the matter, in which they recom monded that tho sum of $15,000 bo put in tho neit an. nual budget of tho Mayor for tho procurement of suitable accommodations for the head of the police departments this city. It is understood that it is in con templatioi. to purchase the largo brick building lately occupied by Mr.

Stooko on the cornor of Washington and Johnson streets, to bo U6cd as a police hcadquar teis. Tho report was adopted. THE d9lH PRECINCT STATION HOUSE. Tho subject of erecting a new Station Houso for tho 40th precinct the ono now in use being an old dilapidated wooden building, entirely unfit for tho purpose has occupied tho attention of tho Board for several years past. About two years since Aid.

TXjrnan purchased three lots on Herkimer street, near Brooklyn avenue, for the erection of tho ration Houbo, but tho location was objected to as not being central enough. Last evening a communication vms received from the Mayor, calling attention to tho matter, and a rcaolution wag adopted, appropriating $2,000 for the purchase of throe lota on Gates avenuo, north side, near Marcy avenuo. The Mayor also stated in his communication that ha had received another communication from the Committee of the State Senate, having in chargo tho matter of selecting a site for tho New Stato House, asking the Brooklyn authorities to make an offer. Referred to tho Committee on Lands and Buildings, THE MILITIA AND THE DRAFT. Aid.

Hathaway moved that tho War and Military Committee be directed to inquire if any of the monoy now in the hands of the Comptroller for the relief of drafted men, belonged to tho militia organization known as tho National Guard, ho said that ho mado the motion because he waB informed by a number of tho members of the National Guard that under tho previous draft, a largo sum of money had been appropriated exclusively for tho relief of tho members of the National Guard, and only a small portion of it bad been used. Aid. Taylor Bald that tho report of tha Finance Committee, offered at the previous meeting of tho Board answered tho question fully. Thoro waB $300,000 in tho hands of the Comptroller and this sum had been devided up equally as ho (Aid. thought among the various wards for the relief of draltcd men with families dependent upon them for support, and ho thought tho resolution as it stood was broad enough, as ft provided for the rilief of every married man, who could not holp himsolf whether ho belonged to tho National Guard or not.

He moved to lay the resolution on the table. Lost. The resolution was adopted. THE CONTRACTOR FOR THE IRON FENCE AROUND THE CITY PARK. Bomo three years since tho sum of $10,000 was appropriated by tho Joint Board for the purpose of putting an iron fence around tho City Park, tho fenco of which had been all carried off for firewood by the poor peoplo residing in the neighborhood.

Tho contract was given to Mr. James Howell to do tho work for $9,000. Soon after entering on his contract tho price of iron rose consldera. bly, but Mr. Howell went on and performed his contract at a loss, as he claims of $4,000.

Ho made an application to the Common Council to be refunded the amount of his loss, and tho Committco on Finance reported in favor of paying him an additional compensation of $1,000. LaBt evening Aid. Kalbfleisch presonted a minority report, adverao to Mr. Howell's claim, but aftec some dobt the report sf tho majority was adopted. THE 4tH OF JULY, Aid.

Kalbfleisch took tale by the forolock last ovening, In presenting Uiub early the usual resolution for tho ap. pointmcntofa commttteo of five, to iako charge of the coming anniversary of tho Declaration of Independence. Ho said bis object in offering the resolution thus early, was to allow the committee plenty of timo to get up a good celebration, as last year the fireworks were a failure, owing to tho fact that sufficient time had not been allowed for their preparation. The resolution was adopted. PUBLIC PEOFERTY.

By the recent action of tho Board of Fire Commieslon era in desbanOing a largo number of companies In tho Fire Deparlment, tho houses formerly occupied by them havebecome vacant, and on motion of Aid. Nowman last evening, the Comptroller was directed to sell, lease, or let, to the beBt advantoge for tho city, all of these houses not now in uso. AN MYESTIGATING COMMITTEE. Aid. McLaughlin offered a series of resolutions, one for the appointment of a special committoo of three, to examino the accounts of tho Comptroller and see if any fnnds had been unlawfully transferred from one account to another, and another directing the Law Committco to examino into tho manner in which tho business Of tho Board of Contracts 1b conducted in regard to their alleged violations of law in not giving the contracts out to the lowest bidder.

The resolutions wero adopted and Aids. Molughlln, Fisher end Taylor were appointed as the special Investi Cating Committee. Course of Benefit Lectures. Last evening Eev. Dr.

E. S. Stars, delivered the first lecture of a coarse at tho Central Pres. bjteilan Clrurob, in Schermerhorn street near Novlns. Tho object of the course is to replenish the treasury of the Sunday School to enable it to prosecute a BtUT moro citcnsivo missionary work than it has hitherto done.

The audienco was not largo, lost evening, and owing to tho approach of warm weathor, when lectures aro rather out of season, tho course will not provo as pecuniarily successful as it would if it had been commenced during tho winter. After a little harmony by tho nhoir, Rev. Dr. Rookwell introduced the lecturer who road his very interesting paper entitled "The Nation After its Ordeal of Battle," A full report the lecture appeared in the columns of tho Eagle, of Feb. 10, 1804, when it was delivored at the Afhenoum.

With a new beginning and a firmer opinion iu the success of our cause than then expressed, the lecturer pases to tho glowing periods heretofore reported. As Dr. Storrs gavo 0 very favorable view of things over a year since, his remarks then apply to us new, with gold tumb'ing down Btsirs, and Grant, Sheridan aud Sherman, whom he complimented, knocking at the doors of the rebellion, with a pertinacity which will not be refused. Tho lecture was listened to by thoBO present with marked interest. On Monday evening next Rev.

ChaB. 8. Robinson will deliver the second lecture on "Great Lights." Sunday Eventno Pastime. At the corner of Fulton and Pineapple Btreots, on Sunday evening, four young men, rathor well dressed, but not otherwise attractive, get into a row about some roal or imagined in. jury, during which a young man named Alien Jorome wob stabbed in the thigh in a dangerous manner, Ho wob taken to hts residence, No.

A general fight among thofour young menprovailed for some timo. Doddbas been held to await Iho result of Jerome's injuries, and the other parties admitted ball to answer future chargci. Officer Teiwilliger of tho list precinct mado the arrests, lMm Puner has tht; JLuracst fff an? Eveiime Paper published the United Its value as an Advurusiiia Medium, is therciore apparent. Interference wit It Local Government! Owing to some lntch in the Republican party caucus at Albany, the Republican journals have been placed under the necessity of openly avowing that the Metropolitan schemes now before the Legislature nro, designed, not for the benefit of Now York or Brooklyn, but for that of the Republican party. About twenty of the Republican members of the Legislature withdrew from a party caucus last week.

These gentlemen nro charged with being actuated by corrupt motives, but it is at least fair to assumo that there are Repubiicaus who do not bolieve in denying to two great cities control over their own business, merely becauso they are Democratic. The attempt to show that New York and Brooklyn can be better governed by the Albany politicians than by their own people has been abandoned, and it is now proclaimed, above board, that if the Republicans hope to retain power in this State they must deny to the people of the chief cities of the State, the powers to which they are entitled. Here is the Tribune's bare taced admission "It must 1)C particularly gntifyiug to Union members I know that their course meets tho approval ot the Democratic leaders of this city of tho uicu who fii up lie machine which enuds out the forty anil filiy thousand majorities which yearaltcr year swamp tho honest Union vote of their own counties'. We venture to any to these gentlemen that, ir.Vn thry sr.7 out tht ti rclx of tin Union party in they are paving the way tor their own destruction.

"Unless soinotliing is limn' by the 1.

ture" the Democratic muoiHy iiom New York Will be SI) OVUi il'l Mi I II mi'lvniiU' vote of the ol I) i.i thu wliolo pl.ii ii I. Wc havr had a great dud 01' tall: dr.ii'iag.', bad vcnlilalii Ml' in the lecal gnvtrniai'iil of New York, but the great trouble is that the people of New York adhere pretty generally to the Democratic party. No doubt there are abuses practiced under the city government of New York, but if the people of New York are lilt to themselves, they will correct them. If not, they desorve to, suffer all the consequences of their folly. The majority of the people of New York desire a good local government.

If tho Legislature would refrain altogether from interfering in the local concerns ol New York city, tho people would very soon remedy auy evils of which they have reason to complain. There is no panacea for good government in Albany, anil there is no reason whatever to believe that Commissioner. who are not accountable to the people, will manage their afl'aiis better than public oiilcials elected by the peoplo. As a mcro question of party succoss, we do not believe that the Republicans will accomplish anything by denying to the cities ot tho Ntato control over their local concerns, A four years ago the party in power in the Stato imagined that if they could obtain control of the New York police force, they could roduco the majority in New York, but the majority against them kept on increasing. The truth is that the amount ot patronage at the disposal of tho Democratic party of the City of Now York is one of the chief sources of its weakness.

Half a dozen different Democratic factions scramble yearly for tho spoils, and the Republicans very seldom fail to profit by tho row. With regard to the corruptions of the New York city government, it may be said that up to this time they have been unfelt by the poo ple. New York was in a position similar to that of a wealthy gentleman who is aware that his sleek headed butler frequently indulges himself in a bottle of his iluest oid port, but as it is in tho nature of all butlers to surrep titiously visit his master's wine bin, taul as the supply is abundant the offence is looked upon as the inevitable penalty of baring wine and boing able to employ a ser I'aut to attend to it New York was so abundantly wealthy that tho expense ol its government was scarcely felt, and the corruptions of its public ofiicors were regarded as matters of course, and subjects rather for ridiculo than censure. With tho burthens which the war will leave behind it, it will be necessary hereafter to watch more closely local expenditure, and as soon as the pressure ot taxation is really felt by the peo pie, they will not suffer themselves to lie cheated. The patronngo at the disposal of the Democratic party in New York is no doubt looked upon with envious eyes by the expectant placemen on the other side.

If tho Rapnbli cans secure control of it, tho people will gain nothing more than the privilege of being cheated by the bad men of one party rather than by bad men of another. There is no reason to believe that thcro is peculiar honesty in one party rather than another. There is no ground whatever for claiming a monopoly of public virtue for the party which has now control of tho government. On tho testimony of leading Republicans the government has been swindled out of more money within tho past four years, than within tho preceding forty. There were stealings under Democratic administrations, but the offenders ranked only as petty swindlers compared with their successors.

We are not prepared to say that if the same chances lor getting at the public funds had been enjoyed by the Democracy, there nro not men in the party who would take equal advantage of them, for we would then havo all the unprincipled "scallywags" who have been attracted to the party in power, by the hope of public patronage and plunder. The Republicans may sucoeed in securing tho patronage of the local government of Now York, but for the one venal office lioldor they may be able to win over to their party they will ton ten honest men against them. So far as Brooklyn is concerned, wo arc fully competent to manage our own business. The attempt of the Republican party to foist Coin mifisioners upon us, under this or that pretext, will end in the certain overthrow of tho party. These Cammissioners are expensive luxuries, as Brooklyn bas good reason to know.

Tha Police Department costs us nearly half a million dollars per annum. If we desired next year to cut down tb.2 expense of that department, we would be as powerless to do so as if we weie Russian serfs instead of American citizens. If the Metropolitan Health bill and tho Tiro Department bill pass, they will bo about equally expensive and equally beyond our control. We believe tho moro sagacious leaders of the Republican party are beginning to see that in this city, at all events, tho majority of the people of both parties, desire a good government, and the way to retain power is not to provide places for idle politicians, but to give thorn a decent and cheap local government, subject to the control of the peoplo who support it.

The arrival of Sheridan on tho Pamunkey is confirmed. Gens. Sherman and Schofield are said to bo in communication. That they are in communication by sea is certain, but bo(h armies are still operating separately, and whatovor force tho ancmy has concentrated in North Carolina is between both. There are reports that Lee is iu command of the rebel forces in North Carolina, but this is very doubtful.

It is now more likely that the great battle, so long anticipated, will bo fought before Petersburg. Thoro are reports, by way of Washington, that Davis proposes to resign, and that Lee will assumo control of the destiny of the rebellion. These reports are brought in by deserters and refugees, and are worth very little. There is a bill before tho Legislature authorizing the Park Commissioners to soil tic land north of Flatbush avenue, purchased by the City for a park, and to purchase certain lands south of the present boundary lino of the Park. Tho majority of the Park Commissioners appear to havo park "on tho brain." They have already spent over a million dollars in purchasing a common.

We trust that they will not bo suffered to spend another dollar in the purchase ot land. If it is desirable to alter the present boundary of the park, and we very much doubt itlet tho Park Commissioners bo thus far restricted, that they shall not havo power to buy any more land until they tall that which they doom it desirable to dispose of.

But few examinations were mado yesterday at Colonel Fcwler's office. None of those examined were held to service. Examinations of persons who were regularly notified cease to day. A great many who were draltcd, when tho enrollment was being made, gave names and residences, and the consequenco is now that they cannot be found, therefore soino 700 men are et wanted to complete the quota of this district, and to raise the required amount it will bo necessary to malic a supplementary draft. Tho only way that this can be avoided is tor our citizens to fill up the ranks of tho SClh Regiment, for if this regiment is promptly filled to the maximum standard, all persons draftod who were held and havo not yet lucntBhed substitutes, will not beheld.

Amusement. The Park Theatre, The "Ticket of Leave Man" will be repeated to night, and every night till further notice. Notwithstanding the weakness of tho cast, tho piece is on the wholo quite effectively presented. The plot iB of a character to awaken tho syopaties of au audience, and tho play will long rotain its popularity, and bo successful with anything liko fair acting. It is stated that Tom Taylor desired that on tho production of his play in Amorica, Mr, Conway should play the leading part.

This evinced a just appreciation by tho dramatist of Mr. Conway's abilities as an actor. Circumstances, however, decreed it otherwise, and wo bellevo that Mr. Conway's first appcaaancc as "Bob Brlorly" was in the present season at the Park Theatre. Not having seen tho play in New York, wo aro not able to estimate tho merits of Mr.

Conway's performance of the part by comparison. That ho has a true conception of the character of tho unfortunate Lancashire lad, and well BUBtalns It throughout tho vicissitudes of Mb career, was to be expected from an actor of Mr. Conway's experience and abilities; but it strikes us that Briorly is too much of a milksop. This wo can see from the text, Is mainly tho fault of tho dramatist, but the actor might remedy the defect in some degree. Brlorly is a passive victim; ho means to do well, tries to do well, but his virtue is not of the hcroio ordor.

All tho heroism of the Btory is centered In May Edwards. In fact, tho latter is tho only person in whom wc could invest any sympathy. That grateful, loving, devoted woman 1b finely impersonated by Mrs. Conway. Tho rest of tho cast, bo far as they deserve it, we havo already noticed.

Thero has been no chango worth mentioning sinco tho first night. On Friday evening, Miss Emily King, deservedly a favorite atthis house, will take her benefit, The Opera. The closing performance of tho opera BcaBon wUl be given at the Academy of Music on Wednesday evening.

Two Concerts only can bo given in Brooklyn, tho first of which will be on Tuesday tho 28th instant, at tho Academy of Music. Hoolei's. Manager Hooley presents a very attractive programme this evening. Tho "Bombardment of Fort Fisher," an excellent burlesquo by Griffin, is underlined for another week. The senlc effeots in this piece are of such a character that a description Is Imposslblo.

The opera of "Feast," with new dresses, scenery and appointments, will alBO be produced on a brilliant scale, together with now acts, songs, dances, plantation scenes, The performance will conclude with tho roaring burlesquo of tho The 8tatuo Lover," with Aichy Hughes and Budworth as the shining lights.
