SITTLED AT UST. —The Market-house action,

Dormstrians won the match, gaining four goal&

morning at 6, Devonshire•buildings, where he was
lodging. His lordship has been ill for the put

CONHERT AT THE nOtrON HOTEL—Mr. James Valley,

Tediday evening nett, the 48th hist We have heard
Mr. Fairey—his perforMance tin the piennforie ie oar,
vellous. Although only about 17 years of age, he is far
in advance of thousands who have devoted a long life to
the musical profession. We have heard many of the
first-class professors of the day, but we have not yet
heard one to excel him. His style bears a strong
resemblance to that of Thalberg. Being assisted by the
Misses Foote, vocalists of no mean order, from Bath,
Bandmaster Hutchings, of the Royal Engineers and
Mr. J. Fairey, see., who, by desire, has consented to
sing "The Ship on Fire," be will, no doubt, have a large
host of the supporters of native talent rallying round
him on his making his deina before the public.

PROPOSED STEAM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN
WEYMOUTH AND THE CONTINENT AND TO Now
YORK Via. BRISTOL. —The Mayor observed upod
being elected to office, that there appeared to be in
store for Weymouth a great and glorious day, it does
seem that we are to have an instalment of it in a new
line of steam packets plying between our port and
Havre and Antwerp, as feeders of a direct line of
steamers between Bristol and New York. From
what we can gather' it appears that the scheme has
been set on foot by Bristol men, and that it meets
with much encouragement and support from the
mercantile men of that place. The draft of the
prospectus is in print, and we hear that the London
dffice will be in Blicklersbitry. It is intended that
they shall ply for communication with Havre, and
three time a week with Antwerp. The Bristol
merchanth think highly of the project, and with the
earnestness which distinguishes them, we should not
be at all surprised to see the scheme arrive at •
successful thane.
