Surely nothing but good can attend the efforts of a society

suffering from affliction or in distress. Surely what the

Several of the banners wore exceedingly beautiful,
and wore greatly admired, and especially to be
noticed for ezo and richnesa were those of Shrew-
ton Court, Ulisbory Court, and the Weymouth
'Flume of Feathers" Court. Starting from Ranelegb•
terrace about ball an hour after the appointed time,
the huge procreation perambulated toe greater portion
of the ton., the route being : —Fmk-street and
Olouoester-te. race, along the front and round the
Alexantinagarden., thence back to the Statue, pertain;
through St. Thomesettreet, across the new Bridge,
and after doing old Weymouth, they retraced their
steps along the North Q ray, through St. Edmund and
Ill. Mary-streets to the field. The delegate some of
whom were aocompendci by ladies, occupied well-
appointed Quechee and breaths. The characteristically-
' attired Foresters were the objects of ranch curiosity
and some emusement. There were also several oon v spines
tilled with brigh and happy-lookiug Juvenile foresters.
I Besides the luge banners there were remotion flees
and bannerettes, bearing appropriate inecriptiona.
The crowds along the line of route were enormous, and
It is a matter of gratification and great wonder that
we have not as yet hoard of any serious accident. One
rather narrow escape came under our notice. A

thus prevented what might have been a serious mis-
fortune.
The procession wee universally acknowledged to be
the largest ever seen in Weymouth In modern times,
and the crowds of people were quite proportionate.
The mass extended all along the Esplanade sod
the roads, and included Foraters, Oddfellows aid
Reoludoites, in their gay regalia of bright colours,
the Foresters' prevailing tints being green and
eel, the Oddlellowe' blue' and as forth. A
goodly number of the Ancient Order of Shep-
herds, the second degree, were in the procession ;
these are diatiaguithable by • fleece, or sheep-
skin wallet with the wool on. Into the field the
crowd were pouring in immune. force; the weather
was splendidly fine, and the scene was made gay by
large number of Robin Hood dresses, which served to
make variety in the midst of the usual sled-coloured
clothing of the holiday-making Englishman. Although
so largo numbers have been drawn there, the town was
all a-buzz with fun.
About five o'clock the tame at the railway station,
when some of the people left, was amounding. It is
reckoned that somewhere about 15,000 people visited
Weymouth to-day--a great many more even than

ARRIVAL OF CETEWAYO.
Cetawsyo, the Zulu erWmg, arrived in the Sound
between tour and lee o'clock on Thereday morning in the
mall steamer Arab. Toe general belief wee that he would
disembark at Plymooth. It was, however, otherwise
determined, and the inhebitants were thus deprived of an
opportunity which they her anticipated with considemble
interest of seeing the King in the town. The Great
Western Company* steam tug Thames left MtWay Pier
shortly before flee in the morning, end steamed into the
Sound to meet the mail boat witti Cemwoyo on board. As
the Thames approached the Arab a group of coloured
poems were °bunted on the port side looking towards

Kr. Dunn added teat alth rush Ceterwayo had dreamed

he seemed indiepowd to rouse on deck in the presence of

be seen at all during the chit time tut the Arab
remained In the Sound. Mr. Monotone, the interpreter,
was then asked if se could explain why tire King exhibited
so marked an lodisposition to make hL appearance. That
gentleman replied that one idea which had seemed to
ccupy Cetewayo's mind during the voyage was that of
proceeding straight to L ,ndon. 'When I told him," said
Mr. Megatons, that we were in Plymouth, and that lots
of people were coming to au him, he sumed much

London. 'What does he think of Plymouth!" asked a
bystander. He says, answered Kr. Dann, that "It le a

wished the King "00.4.57.." When all were on board
