WEYWOUTEL—Fomereoh limier= AT Sea.--A
M•M FOUND DIA° IN • VKIMEL —Oa Sunday afternoon,
the Commodore nom tug brought into our harbour
the ball of a vessel which had been found at me,
bottom upwards. She was first perceived by. Norwegias
. brig, who stood by" for a long time, but in thdesvose-
ing to tow her into some place of safety broke almost all
the cable on board. Information was given to the
eaptain of the fishing smack, Amanda, who nth en-
deavoured to take the ill-fated ship in tow, but was un-
able to accomplish the tea. Information was then
givea to the Weymouth and PorUand Steamboat
Compthy, who, on Wednesday morning, despatched
the Commodore Imam tug to render assistance, and the
Teasel wu picked up about thirty miles off the south-
east of Portland. Alter considerable difficulty she was
brought into Portland Roads is the evening, and on the
following morning placed near the entrance of Wey-
mouth harbour, where means were resorted to for
righting her; but all attetupta proved futile, and she
was then taken back to Portland Reads, where endeavours
were still used for placing her in her proper positions,
but this was not effected until late on Saturday night.
In the mean time great interest was exited in the ill-
feted ship, as her name was not Immo, from whence
the same, or whether any one waa on board. After
she had been righted, she was found to be a
French lugger, nulled " Hortenxe," front Fficarup.
On examining her, it was found that she was
laden with 241 casks of French winu (suppose/ to be
claret,) con/ sctionmer, and fruit. On a further search
being made in the foremene was found the body of a
man, apparently about 18 or 19 yeths of age. He
had his noting on., bet his boots were off, and It is
supposed that he was is his berth sleeping at the time
the disaster occurred. The opinion of nautical
men is that the unfortunate ship was struck
'Mashies by • heavy sea, and before she meld
right herself • sudden equal of wind itemised her; thus
without • moment's warning precipitatug her grew, of
which noth mseel would carry seven or eight, into
the Jeep. No both could be found, but this would have
been wanted of the deck, end it is mom than probable
that the crew met with • watery grave. She is a new
navel, having only hem built at Fining this year, and
as everything to be new on board it is eon-
jestored that this was her first voyage. From the
a-
which have bees discovered it is -ascertained that
captain'. Mama wax M. Argentine, and that he was
also the owner. The ill fated vessel was bound from
Bordeaux to Brussels. She is 88 toes register, and is
clamed in the French Lloyd's as seven yens, A 1. 1.
Of course it is impossible to state how the disaster
occurred, but it is more than probable that the era.
'apnea, for If she had been ie collision there would
have been indications, but there le nut • plank out of
place. Hundreds of persons "retched the vessel from the
quay and bridge, but an passing under the latter she got
agi mind. After waiting for the tile to lift her she was
moored alongside the quay. In doing this an theident
was likely to have oceurred involving Immense &Arne-
non of Into. Hundreds of pewee= were on the newly.
erected woodden steps leading from the bridp to the
quay. As the vessel was being drawn alongside, the tide,
which was now running very strong, caught her, and it
speeared quite impossible to prevent her from dashing
the 'tops to pieces. The people on them were owned
to leave ao speedily es possible. A seen* of the utmost
confusion and excitement prevailed, but fortunately
the stops were neared, and not a moment too soon,
for the hull of the vessel caught the basement of the
nem:dare, cracking • portion of the naps into
fragments. Had it occurred a moment earlier the
results would have been dreadful to minters' Lite,
for hundreds of peewee most have been precipitated
into the water, and Hoot drowned, scathed between the
vessel and the quay.

CHRISTCHCRCH.-At the annual
meeting of tha 8 $o k Avon Agricultural Society,
held on the 25th ult. Earl Maltnesbuty pre-
sided. After the usual loyal toasts, the
'noble lord proposed "The Army and Navy,"
I and said-Gentlemen, I am one of those who, with
! all respect to those at the bead of the army, and
! believing that their scheme may be • good sod •
I right one, and that a concentration of troops is the
I right thing to establish -that by so omaosedrating
them on certain points they learn more of their duty,
! bang in large bodies of men • yet I am still, for
every reseal ([mean political' reasons) inclined to
regret that the army is not so mach distributed
over this country as it formerly was. I regret it for
this reason-I think that, ready and content as
Englishmen are to pay taxes for the honour and pro.
nervation end safety of their native land, there is still
a natural liking Among them to see now and then
whet they pay foe (Hear, hear). It seems to me
that the army might just as well be quartered la
winter in country towns, where they would have
every advantage, as in pirtabk camps where they
can do very little. It appears to me that the country
towns would thus reap the advantages to which I
have referred, and that the country generally would
be more satisfied with seeing the tinny for which
they pay. Now I can exemplify this by what
takes plan in Frames. In Femme, as you all know,
the whole of its enormous army of 300,000 toes is
quartered in that country. With the fixormtion og
60,000 maw in Algiers, and as there are no eoloniee,
the greet bulk of the army is in Pianos itss/f.
With respect to our army that is not the soar.
Our army as quartered over the fees of the
and very few regimente are quartered in lingli=
Consequently ths money and the =peen of this
country go forth to the colonies for the maietenancie
of that army, and is not most in the country
from which it is derived. Now in Prams
the money spent for Um army is principally
spent in Francis ihmlf, and go well is! thiw
feet appreciated by the government that if the
Emperor wishes to show s displeasure towards
a town on account of its bong mutinous or

With reaped to the I sincerely hope it will
prove the foremost and most valuable institution of
this country. You may depend upon it that It ie
