WEYMOUTH.

Tea FIaaBIRT SANATORIOI4.—" Chirtirgus," writing
to the Saiiibu y Journal, in reference to the scheme for
raising a aanatoriuin, as a monument to the late Lord ,
Herbert, says :—"Dr. Coates, a few weeks since, wrote
a letter advocating Bournemouth as a fa.vourhble a te,
and, as far as healthiness Is concerned, I quite agree
with him. But there are objections to it. First of al',
it is not of the most easy and conreni•nt access; then
there is no nice beach close to the town; and moreover.
it wants animation, and objects to interest convalescents.
Weymouth would, in toy estimation, be in every way
more desirable. Its pretty bay and pleasant esplanade, I
and the means of tripe to and from Portland every half-
hour, are great desiderata. Some crotchetty geological
doctors will perhaps tell you, that "it is not the most
healthy place in the world,"—that "it is built on clay,"
and "badly drained." The former assertion I cannot
gainsay, but as to the latter, I will not believe in these
days of sanitary measures, that the matter of drainage
has not been well looked after. This Ido know, that
during a pretty-long professional career, I have been in
the habit of sending patients to Weymouth, and I have
never, in a single instance, bad to regret doing so. It
will be a pity when the thing is done, if it be not well-
does; and the institution, one worthy the name of the
generons•hearted nobleman in whose honour it is to be
raised."

ASSAOLTINO THE Pomo& —Chitties Haydon, a sea-
man, was brought op under a warrant, charged with
assaulting Robert Tilsed, master of the ship Russell ;
he was further charged with assaulting the polioe

Lock, who was called to their assistance. —lt appeared
that on Wednesday afternoon Captain Tilsed paid
prisoner his wages, £1 10s. 6d., after which some
dispute arose between them, and a scuffle took place
in the cabin, when prisoner struck the captain, and
used threatening language towards him, but even-
tually he was removed from the vessel to the quay.
A warrant was issued against prisoner, and police-
constables Gatler and Reeks were deepatched to take
him in custody. They found him at the Lord Nelson
Inn, when he made a desperate resistance, and
Franhcis Lock was ordered to aid and assist in the
Queen'. name. Prisoner struck and kicked the
officers, and was compelled to be taken to the station
on the stretcher. In defence, two of the ship's crew
were called, who proved that the captain and prisoner
were as bad as one another, and under these circum-
stances the Bench dismissed the charge, but fired him
As. and coati in the other cases. —RXFSACTORT

ing the costs incurred.
