800 men. Regretting the small attendance at the meet-

then they would be stirred up to see the evils of the
system, whereas now, because these things hcpponmdug

our reridtrs this heading will appear somewhat strenge;
but it is with much pleasure that we notice the spirit
and enterprise of our townsman Mr. James Beale, of
Weymouth, and the other owners at Pordand, who at
some considerable expense, have fitted out this noble
ship, regetered 247 tons. Oa Monday she left her old
mooring in the backwater, and passed through the
*bridge, where lusty cheers were even for the chip,
although some persons preterit thought fit to try and
suppress them. Paeans the custom house, and Meese.
Cosens and Co.'s premises, another cheer rent the air,
and this was repeated from the Commodore steamer,
with the offloers of the Soot on board, also by the men
at the Nettle fort. She left this port shoot 4.30, and
is destined for the eoal trade between Cerdiff and
Southampton, and we say "Suppe,' attend the spirit
and enterprise of our townsman," and we hope to see
other ships soon follow suit.

forwarded to Weymouth (their homer), by the Ship-

in consequence of the stranding of the ship. The
casualty was attributed to the thickness of the weather
and the romped on desk, being out two points--the
reason for thinking so wee the position of the boat
when she was picked up. She was owned by Mr.
William R. Royal, baker, of North Quay, Weymouth.
'lazuli) Materna—On Monday afternoon • billiard
match for 1000 up was played at the billiard saloon of
the Victoria Hotel, between the oelebrated players Mr.
W. Diggs', and his younger brother. After some re-
markable feats with the balls, to show their dexterity,
the two brothers started the match about haltpast two.
The play was remarkably good, and some of the
strokes showed that the younger brother has in him
the requisites for • fire-rate player. He made a break
of 42, including 9 mot hazards, and another break of
56, inelading 14 spot hazards, yet, after three hours
and...-halt play, the eider brother won by 193. Their
skill was not so much displayed in making the diffierent
strokes as in leaving the balls in • position to wore

played until half-past eleven. Very pretty play was
exhibited on both sides, and great edmirstion was
especially for the excellent play of the younger brother,
whose proficiency, considering his age, was so greet
that it was thought, if ho steadily perseveres in his
quiet unassuming style, be will probably some day be
the champion. Hle pot stroke is his principal feature.
but he unfortunately did not get more than 17 or 18
opportunities of displaying it. One very brilliant stroke
was made by him when white was over the corner
pocket, and his own just behind. An ordinary player
would have pushed both in and made • four stroke ;
but instead of potting the ball, ha pushed his own
round the white along the cushion, in, making a losing
