PORTL AND. Tea Mggrixo, —On Tumidity. •
public tea meeting In connection with the Easton
Wesleyan Chapel, wes held in the Wakehem school
rootu. when about 220 eat down to tea. At seven
olelock the public meeting was commenced. by the
sing rig of • hymn and prayer by the Rev. Jabes
Bought, superintendent of the circuit llr It.. Pence.
one of the trustees of the impel. occupied the chair.
and cup eased his pleasure in meeting them on tat
nod ion. He w o very forcibly reminded of the flight
of time, as it was now twelve months since they had
met on &similar once-ion. Many smce that time had
passed into the eternd world, and they could not be
too thankful that the.r lives were spared He would
specially exhort the young around him to give their
hearts to God. and oonnect themselves at once with
some section of the christian church. lie then celled
on Mr. Henry Stone to addressthe meeting. Mr Stone.
in his own rife, racteristie style, spoke at some leneth
from the theme which lay dearest to his heart.
taking for his watchword his old familiar text, "Trust
in the Lord and do good, so shalt thou dwell in the land,
and verily thou shalt be fed." The Be.. Kr. Bought,
who was the nest speaker, spoke of the adventagi of
relieien, which said he, were great. Religion made man
happy, and he had no sympathy with these who
imannel that to be religious they must poll • ling face
and live in gloms all their days. Religion was never
desianed to make man gloomy or mad. He wee pleased
to see it had done something for them If be compared
the present with the pat state of things in Portland,
why the contrast was striking. There was • thee when
they had no plate of worship in the island but the old
church on the hill, and the pulpit of that was hat badly
supplied. But now what did they see! Why they hid
a chapel under the hill. one at Reath well. and another
at Weston, and one at Boston. which they contemplate
enlarging by palling down the front and bringing it out
some 12 ot 14 feet, and then adding aide g dleries, which
witald make it quite • handsome edifice. They should
want about £3OO So dn this, and should want their friends
to put their hands into their pocketa and bring out
the deaneries, and the thing would soon be done.
Their pendstion wu increasing, and they mast nick.
room for the elfin' generation. There was plenty of
room for all denominatinns. They had opened the way
already for may who had come into the field, and
tnere were now IndependantoPrimitive Methodiets,and
Bible Christie= in the Island. but still there was
plenty of room, and plenty of work for ell to do. He
wanted to see souls saved, and would say to all who
were present, "Come with ns and we will do you good."
Captain Buck, after •few introductory remarks, said in
his own voyaging', across the deep and journeyinp in
distant lands, he tad often seen the manifeitations of
the power of God. He had sat in a missionary's hours
when an earthquake was felt which shook the tea
things on the table and all the articles in the
house; when • beautiful new chapel was
entirely destroyed, and when wells of water were coin.
daily spoiled. He remember feeling when at sea,
shout 800 miles from Nee Holland and 200 from New
Zealand, what he must call by • new naDll/-11 see
quake, the effect of an earthquake, when • new island
was thrown up in the midst of the ocean as the
result. lie *gametal to lend on it, but the surge
of the sea prevented him After some time he again
sailed in the direction of the island hot it was gone;
it bad sunk below the surface, and by throwing the
leaf be found there was a sandbnk under water. He
had seen an island split asunder whilst, the land
flowed down its sides. All these sites reminded him
very forcibly of the power of God, and he urged his
hearers they should make that mighty God their own.
The Rev. William Beer, Bible Christian Minister, spoke
briefly, and gave expressions to his belief in an all-wiee
Provideuos overruling all things for good. He was geld
to find thew contemplated enlarging and improving their
Eaton Chapel, but to effect this they would
have to raise about £3OO. Fie supposed they
would do it, for it seemed to hint that one of the
peculiarities of the Wesleyan Methodist was that of
raising money, for they could almost raise any amount
I they liked. He wished them every Haden, sod hoped
I that they woul I very soon have their ebeeel subtend.
The Rev. N. Kelynack offered • few rinsing remarks,
and exhotted all to an incread of faith end prayer.
' Votes of thanks were then given to the chairman, and
' to the ladies who had so kindly provided the tea ; after
which the doxology was sung and the benediction prof
nonneed, when the sesembly quietly dismissed, evidently
pleased with the tea, and no lees gratided with the very
excellent ;Teethe, of the evening.

SHAFTESBURY. COURT or Queen's Bseciv,
Monday, Isl February.—The Queen e. the Justices of
Shaftesbury. Ex-parte William Brick. IL This cam, is
exciting °mud let-able interest in this borough and neigh-
bourhood. It appeere that William Bricked, of St.
James, Shaftesbury, labourer. was summoned with
three others, to appear before Stephen Seamtuell, Fact,
(Mayor). and John plat* Thomas, Req.. (magistrate.),
on the 18th January last, upon • charge of antoulting
one William Butt in the execution of his duty. —Mr.
George Chitty then appeared for defendants, and after
the evidence had been gone through on the part of the
coutplainaut, and subjected to the eroas-examination of
Mr. Chitty, he contended that, as the toilette., did not
show that the complainant was assaulted in the neon-
Son of hie duty, the summons ought to be distniaged.—
Mr. Chitty then called witnesses in contradiction of com-
plainant's evidence, after which th• magistrates retired
with their clerk to consider the matter. On their re-
turn the Mayor delivered the judgment in the following
words, " We dismiss the summons for assaulting the
policeman in the execution of his duly ; but we filie
each of you 8.. and coats for a common assault, or in
default 21 days' imprieontneot, with hard labour.—Mr.
Chitty, not being satisfied with the conviction for a
common &moult as being contrary to law' served the
Invistrates with notice on the part of the defendant,
William Rickel], that the Court of Queen'. Bench
would be moved on the jut inst., for a certiorari to re-
move hie conviction into that Court to be quashed.
Mr. T. W. Saunders, of the Western Circuit, this day
moved for a rule accordingly. He contended that the
magistrates bad no jurisdiction upon the summons in
question to convict of. common smelt, as the charge
of assaulting a constable in the execution of his duty,
was one punishable only upon indictment for which •
party might be inpri.noill for two years. They could
sot, therefore, upon the hearing of such • charge, turn :
it into one of common &moult and convict summarily, the
two offences being essentially different. Several decided
oases were quoted in support of the application, and the
Court granted the rule.
