OPENING OF A NSW WI:ALBUM CHAPEL —On Friday
afternoon the new Wesleyan Chapel at Spring Bourne
was formally opened for public worship. The structure
has been in course of erection for some tune, and although
opened for Divine Berme is yet uncompleted. It will
supply • want inwl felt by the Wesleyan community in
the east end of the town, who have hitherto been crowded
Into • small Mission-hall. sufficient to accommodate only
about one half of those whose religious convictions
prompted them to worship therein. The new building is
IP by 37 feet, and sittings are providnd for 274. It has
been erected by Meows. Squires it Kent at • cost of nearly
£2OO. When finished it will present a lasting memorial
of the zealous labours of the Rev. Edward Markman, to
whose indefatigable efforts may be attributed its
unction. The opening services were conducted by the
Rey. J. Hawkins, formerly minor of the Wesleyan cm-
/rogation in the town, who preached an eloquent sermon,
in the course of which he drew attention to the number of
creeds throughout the Christian world, in each of which
he said there was to be found more or less of truth ; but
the Bible was, he considered, loosiror its hold upon the
masses of this country. After the sermon a collection
was made, which added Elti 2s. S to the building fuel.
Immediately the opening servicen were over a public tea
was held in the Mission-hall, adjoining, upwards of 3ffi
taking park to accommodate which it was necooary to
have three sittings. The proceeds were calculated to add
upwards of JAI to the Bullalitig fund. In the evening a
largely attended public meeting WWI held, presided over
by the Rev. J. Hawkin• Addresses were delivered by
the Rev. IL C. Leonard, of Holcombe, and the Rev. E.
W. Neiman. At the conclusion the following financial
statement was made by the latter gentleman relative to
the building fund; At starting. MO; collected on the
occasion of laying the foundaUon stone. 1:103 7s, ed. ;

awl/tool proceeds of tea, about £lO, or altogether up-
wards of zroas. More than 1:300 is yet required and he
sincerely hoped they would use their every endeavour to
liquidate this debt as quickly as possible, " for," said he
"how can we call it God's latouse if it be in debt " A '
vote of thanks to the ladies who provided the tea in the
afternoon, and the Chairman for presiding brought the
proceedings to a close.

ALL SAINTS' VESTRY.

The Easter Vestry for All Saints' parish was held
on Monday. The rector (the Rte. If. P. Jones), pre-
sided, and there were present—Mr. H. Isock, and Mr.
W. Slade (churchwardens), Mr. E. Bewombe, Colonel
Oldfield, Mr. G. Pn.st, Mr. G. Nlutfonl, Mr. .I.
1/rake, Mr. C. G. limusey, Mr. IL Marsh, Mr. W.
IL Bradley, Mr. J. It. Cooper, Mr. C. Parsons, and
Mr. W. Osmond.
The first business was to elect churchwardens for
the ensuing year. The rector chose Mr. H. Lock,
who has filled the duties during the past years as his
warden, and for the parish there was opposition
Mr. G. Muiroau proposed that Mr. 'Wake be the
parish churchwarden, but that gentleman declined the
honour.

hlr. E. BASCOMBE propoaed that Mr. W. Slade be
re-elected.
Colonel th.nriELi) seconded.
Mr. G. JAI-Troup, con.sidering Mr. Slade's advanced
year. t'.-r•ught it would be conferring a kindness by
electing a younger man, and thus infusing "new
blood into the Church. He proposed that Mr. C.
G. Itumsey be the parish churchwarden.
This was seconded by Mr. It. MARSH.
Mr. SLADE suggested that Mr. hfutford was °pima-
in.: hies solely on account of his having refused to give
him some work connected with the Church.

This was warmly denied by Mr. MuironP, who
asserted that being a much larger ratepayer than Mr.
Slade, he had a perfect right to attend that vestry and
express his opinion or make any propositism he
thought proper.
In this many 14 those present agreed, and om
a division there voted for Mr. Slade 6, for Mr.
Rummy 5, the Rector voting as a parishioner, and
rug his casting vote in favour of Mr. Slade, Mr.
rust remaining neutral.

MALtRT OV THE OHGANIEIT.

The Rector, referring to this matter, spoke in the
highest terms of the admirable playing of the organist
(Mr. .1. Robinson, pui.,) and al.o of the way in which
the musical portion of the services were conducted.
In this the Vestry concurred, and it was generally
agreed that the salary of the organist should be raised
to 100 per annum.

TUX ASSISTANT OVIRSZER.
RUMSZY suggested that if it was in their power
they should also raise the salary of the uaistant
overseer (Mr. F. J. Holland) considering the able
manner in which his duties; had been performed. But
as no notioe had been given on the subject it was
allowed to stand over.

" BEGGARS'-KNAP."

The resolution the Council have arrived at on the
Beggars'anap question has afforded an opportunity
to a contemporary to exhibit an amount of virulence
that we are quite sure upon sober reflection it must
regret. We would at once state that we are quite in
accord with the Ckronick upon the inadvisibilty of
cutting down any of the trees which at present orna-
ment the town; but we must protest against the
insinuations of self-interest and pig-headedness with
which those members of the Council who voted for
the proposed demolition have been so liberally be-
'Pattered. Whether the conclusion to which they
have arrived be right or wrong, we are satisfied,
and we know our readers will agree with us, the
members of the Council have, in their deliberations
upon the subject, been guided by an honest sense of
their responsibility and a desire to benefit the town.
If our Councillors do not deserve the confidence of
their townsinen, the reflection a at once cast upon the
burgesses that they are unable to exercise a wise dis-
cretion in electing them; and this we do not believe.
Glancing over the Council lit we see names of gentle-
men who, (rum their long arxiiiaint ince with the
borough, their experience and their abilities, are well
able to represent it, and the imputations of cliqueisin
which have been rudely hurled against them every
right-thinking person will agree are ;imply slander-
our and uncalled for. our contemporary wishes to
persuade his Worship that he will have the extreme
felicity of knowing he was the mist unpopular
Mayor who ever occupied the chair, an allegation that
may well be treated with contempt, seeing that what-
ever may have been—if there have been any—his
emirs of judgment, his tenure of office hitherto has
been distinguished by that same gentlemanly urbanity
and willingness to place his servioes at the disposal of
the borough as characterised his predeoeseors. It is
also sublimely ridiculous to read in a 'taper, which
notedly with blind simplicity follows a particular
section in politics and religion, accusations against
members of the Council of having been swayed by
others. That the gentlemen assailed may lie content
to allow these to pass unnoticed we can well believe ;
but at, they have been male in a public print, we
think it our duty as publicly to rebuke them.

WEYMOUTH TOWN COUNCIL

The Mayor was too ill to he present at the Council meet-
ing last Thursday, and Alderman Ayling was called to the
ctutir, there being also present :—Alderman Howard:
Councillors Drew. Thomas, Talbot, Ayles, ten.. Dennis,
Wallis, Walker, G. Eliot. and T. R. Charles.

THE SPACE NEAR THE GAS HOUSE.
Mr. G. ELIOT proposed a committee to consider the
terms on which this space could be let for building.
Mr. Wows objected to the filling up by depositing stuff
from the ballast lighter. The Council were robbed.
Mr. DENNIS had no doubt the money was squandered.
A committee was appointed.
THE NEW sUILYKTOIL

Mr. THOMAS suggested that Mr. Morgan should sit in the
room during the diwussions, of course not to take part
Mr. HOWARD would oppose that tooth and nail; he did
not see why the new surveyor should be made so much of.
Mr. Titonss gave it up.
!HI MODE OF GETTING WORK DOME.

Mr WALLAS said some piles intended to be driven on the
Weymouth side had been condemned by the late surveyor
as too small, and Mr. Attwooll, the contractor, referred
them to Mr. Ales. The ballast lighter was also to be
repaired, and tenders were sent by Ur. Hannay, and Mr.
Va.Bence. but were not opened. Now Mr. Attwooll and
Mr. Hannay were both in the employ of Mr. Aylea, and he
objected to tenders being sent in by workmen on behalf
of their master*. A j b had been spoken about by the
Mayor, and Mr. Williams offered to do it for .CA ; but •
councillor had measured it and said it was only worth
.C 2 lOa. Were the Council to lose £6 lOs. on • piece of
work ordered by the Mayor. Being reminded by Dr.
Drew that parties referred to were not present, Mr.
Wallis said they had Red like • summer's dream, because
HITT had done an illegal act
Mr. HOWARD read s minute showing that the ballast
lighter was ordered to be repaired by Mr. Hannay, at a
cost of not more than £1,50, and Mr. Wallis was present
Mr. Wittig did not know what they put it in the
minute book for, and believed this had been added since.

of Mr. Fowlers, denyirg the statement that the dues pro-
duced in one sear about £l.OOO. Mr. Fowler was a very

THE PROPOSED AQUARIUM.

A meeting of some 50 or 40 of our leading tradesmen
was held in the Council Chamber on Tuesday morning,
to hear statements of Mr. Mosses, sod M. Norton,
on the proposed aquarium for Weymouth. Among
those present were —Mr. G. R. Crickmay, Mr.
Talbot, Mr. W. Talbot, Mr. Jae. Milledge, Captain
Shute Piers, RN., Alderman Howard, Dr, Drew, Mr.
Dennis, Mr. Alyea. sen , Mr. Walker, Mr. P. C.
Steggall (Town Clerk), Mr. T. B. Groves, Mr. B.
Hopkins, and we were glad to me Mr. J. Robertson
also able to attend, and again give his attention to
matters of the deepest interest to the town. The three
gentlemen who attended from London were understood
to be respectively the promoter the architect and one
who is director of several aquariums be-rides this one.
The Mayor being unfortunotely unwell, Mr. James
Robertson proposed that Mr. George Eliot take the
chair, and the CHAIRMAN called on the gentleman
most prominent in the matter to mike his statement.
He said that some gentlemen in London had proposed
to pay the preliminary expenses in regard to launch-
ing or endeavouring to launch, a company for sustain-
ing an ackuarium in Weymouth. They had visited the
town, and felt satisfied there would be a renumerative
return for the outlay of 1:30.000—(hear). He produced
statements of figures relative to the expenses of the
working of the aquarium, and also the probable
Income; he had ascertained from the railway com-
panies that the daily excursionists into Weymouth
amounted to no less than 25,000 per annum on the
average, and it was proposed to make an arrangement
with the railway companies, by which sixpence should
be added to the excursion fare, and then the ticket
should admit to the aquarium, so that it would be
largely left to the optionl of parties coming here to
spend their money, the h for admiesion to the
equarium being already paid the railway ticket
Tide arrangement would ensure the company a certain

mouth during the swoon, they changed about once a

would visit the aquarium twice or three times during

also realise a omaidereble sum, and the printing

items he felt sure in saying that, o on expenditure
of £5,000 a dividend of £lO per oent, would accrue to
the shareholders. But even cutting that in half, there
would be Mill £5 per cent., which, in Owe dgya of
competition, RIM a fair dividend. What he 'eked the

THE NEW ROYAL BADGE.

(Prom our Leltdots Corraporuien4).

AU ponular agitatiote in the Metropolis have a ten-
dency to culminate in an open-air meeting in Hyde
Perk, and it will he so with regard to the Royal Titles'
PilL The inevitable demonstration is to be held imme.
(Betel,' after the royal assent hoe been given, and a
memorial to the Queen is to be adopted praying Her
Majesty not to MOM, the title of Empress. The Hyde
Park meetings usually do more harm than good to the
cause in which they are held, and if her Majesty has—
as it is rumoured—set her heart on being called Empress,
it is not likely she will be turned from her design by the
avaemblinx of a few thousand people in Hyde Park.
It is cvrtain, however, that, quite independently of this
demonstration, a very large preroetion of the people,
throughout the country are opposed to the new assump-
tion of title. The subject will again come under the
notice of the House of COMM= when Mr. Fawcett,
will move, when the House resumes its sittings, an
address to the Queen praying her not to assume this
title. Up to the present moment, however, the hon.
member for Hackney, has been only moderately sup-
ported by petitions. About 8,000 people have petitioned
against the title, but he will doubtless be Nicked by
more than theme when he brings on his motion. But,
after all, public petitions are scarcely a fair criterion
of public feeling; it is an affair of organisation. For
example, there are about 1150,000 idgnatnree already to
various petitions in favour of the suffrage for women.

ATE GREAT
.FIGHT IN CHESIL.

....—...
The light on Thursday night between wildieis and
civilians, was more serious than we at first supposed.
Sergeant Florence would probably have been killed hwl it
not been for the wiaistance of the civil'ans, among whom
Mr. William Conthen WWI prnminent; Mr. Ellie!. Clean,
suffered in the came of the police, for he had hie head cut
open in two places with the belts. Mr. IL 0. Mabee, the
newly-elected member of the Local Board, went bravely
into the fight, and laid about him vigorously with • sticks
thus contributillZ much to the defeat of the young soldiers.
Mr. W. Young and Mr. !saw- Rosid, were also useful in the
fight: it is maid that Mr. Wald captured the ringleader,
just ass girl was trying to secrete him in a house. There
were shout l 5 or 20 young soldiers., who were thus dis-
comfited by seven or eight civilians, the rest of whose
name. we •hall 1.., happy to publish, in ...lapse ledzinent
ef their pluck, if friends will .ewl them. On Fristiy
morning a large 'lumber of wildiers were confined to the
cells ;it is Nuppoool for taking part in the stir iv. The
Weisel had a arule, awl talked to the fawn about the
affair, awl on Sunday the Ronian Catholic priest, referred
to the same in his serfonn. The whole of Chesil has now
been put "net of Islands,- or fnrbidden, to the outliers,
who are not allowed to go there, on any account. and
picket is sent round every night, from 'seven o'clock till
one in the morning. It was time that something was done,
as to the fowled of the soldiers, for only three night, be-
fore one of the military got his arm broken in a scuffle.
The young xoldier's do not seem to have been much im-
pressed by what has been done, for driven from Clwail,
some of them on Saturday night got fighting near the
back of the Clifton Hotel, Grove Road. It seems that the
102nd regiment bore a very good character till they came
to Portland, but when they arrived here, they got recruits
from Naas, who seem to have been the cause of these
rows. The old soldiers look with very great disgust upon
the conduct of the young ones, and it should be noted that
the disgrace of these offences should not be cast upon the
veterans, who are of good character. lboubtlees, when the
young recruits have been • little longer under the discip-
line, and with the good examples of the older ones before
them, they will help to regain • good character for the
regiment, which, at present, solely owing to the conduct of
the recruits, is in danger of being thought meanly of.

The rest of the if candidates, whose names, and the
numbers of votes are not given, had signified
their intention to retire from the contest, and this is
doubtless the reason of the numbers they received heinr
so insignificant The Rev. W. W. Sherren, •mong them,
had only three votes. A little incident showed tliv height
to which party feeling ran. There were about 30 or 40
votes, where the owners of the houses paid the rates.
Whether these votes should be received or not was nastlar
of doubts but the Chairman decided that such vote.
being allowed at Weymouth, they should he received. On
this a gentleman who is warm on the side of the Vigilance
party, charged the Chairman with partisanship, evening
that the votes would not have been received had there not
been • large majority on the side of the Church party. The
Chairman denied the charge, and stated that if any more
such remarks were made, he should be obliged to exert his
authority under the Act of Parliament.
