The conference with the Groat Weetern has been
held, with due regard for the dignity of the ancient
and loyal borough of Weymouth and Macomb° isegis,
in tbe 'oaneibehaniber. This was • great deal mire
satisfactory thou would have been a partial conference
with a few of the Council at Paddington Station ,• and
I was gla on looking in on the a sembled railway
and Weymouili ma,.;naties, to see Mr. Councillor
Welofor.l avid Mr. Councillor Dennis present, sis well
a• his Worship the Mayor, Alderman Howard, and
all the test of the "good men and true" who are in
ecstasies with the proposed new line. Undoubtedlr
the route rill Weymouth and Cherbourg will be best
for and Western men will be a capital thing for the
Great We-tern Hallway; so alma for We mouth. if
proper arrangements are made, among which may we
reckon the building if a gazing, not opposite Pult eney-
buildings, but at the aids of the Pile-pier, with a
Cuotom House shed thereon, and the euforcernent of
the much-needed Pile-pier dues?

While I was on the fimt run down the tram with the
new engine we discussed the probabilities of brmging
tho Quay walla down. Said an old and experienced
Councillor—"'Twas never the trucks that brought
the Quay down, 'twas the dredging outside." Didn't
our effervescent councillor, jubilant over the late

to dredge the 17141 bour deeply, aren't you? How are

The Great Western's and South-Western's special
friends eurpst that the companies are not likely to
maintain the Quays and pay harbour dues too. just

On the other side las .aid—" You need go no further
than Franchise street for instances of that, for. says
Sir Frederic, 000 to be laid out, and so much per

" repairing leases," and actions for dilapidation, even
when a man has regularly paid his rent? Why !if •
man were to carry on such a heavy trade—say •
printer's—as brought his shop Boor tumbling into the
cellar, hie landlord wouldn't consider himself suffi-
ciently repaid by a tender of the mere rent. So if the
Great Western intend to do a heavier businese on our

All the carpools in the borough are emptied, we am
told. So the material ones may be; but not all the
moral ones, or e e shouldn't have had to hold our
nosee at that vile concoction where our friend "
and two or three councillors (ten times better men
than the issuer could have been) were smelled with—

" Sidblown smalls, distinct- and palpablia".

That's a pretty good number of unmistakeeble libele
to be =aimed into a bit of amateur printing. The

of license of the prem.
