The Warm remarked -tri;i7 itw.o a great object for a
fashionable watering place like Weymouth to have places of
amusement and Interest for visitors to resort to. The notice
should not have been sorted, not to the Commbsioners of tier
Majesty's Woods and Forests, hut to the Secretary of fila'o.
One of the borough members, Mr. Henry Edisstds, bad taken
greet intsrest In the +tee/dun. They proposed to apply for the
Castle formerly In the .ocupation of the late Capt. Manning.
and its grounds—he did not mean an far as the furniture wsa
concerned, for that belonged to the executors of Capt. Manning.
If • place like that shonld be abut up and visitor% prevenied
from visiting it, it would bee great tom. The matter had been
already before the Portland Local Board, who are disposed to
follow the Corporation of ' eymouth. and beck up any such
application ; but they subbed the Town Council of Weymouth
first to take the initiative. Ile thought no time is lout,
or perhaps nine official would be phi&ti there, or something
would be done, and they would he told that It was now too
bite. He had spoken to Mr. Hambro last night, and both
their borough members were diepoeed to support the council's

applitation:
Mr. Deny proposed, and Mr. Tuna seconded. "That the
TORT Clerk be requested to memorialise the Secretary of State
or Wm, to place at the disptesl of the Local bards of the
bonnigh of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis, and the Island of
Portland, the we of the Castle now yawn on account of the
late Capt. Nanning. The Quttle to he used as a place of public
resort for the Inhabitants of Weymouth and the Island of
Portland, and their numerous risitors, and that this meeting
In stand adjourned to Saturday neat to receive the Secretary
et State's reply!'
It ma remarked by MS. G. F.mor that the Castle would be
private for about the nest three months.
Alderman Emor raid be should like for the foundation of •
kind of museum to be laid in the Castle.
The reeolution Ives agreed to.

The Committee reported that the Park Well was In a very
dilapidated condition, and there were no means at the disposal
of .the Council to p,ace the well 1,1 repair. and If it were re-
paired it would not be of any advantage to the council, beyond
Its use so walk. They recommended that et re should he midie
to lasso the frontage upon around reit, allowing the lessee to
use the present materiels to extco,l It westward. and take
materials from the Baekwater for tilling up the reclaimed land.
The Council to reser. c the right of water frontage, and a road-
