kins, Bp., • young man named John Woo is was
charged with stealing an umbrella belonging to
Margaret Orchard, of the New Arrival, Park•street.—
Proescutrix, the wife of Ambrose Charles Orchard,
said this man, ssompanied by a lad, had supper M
their home on Monday night, and after they left she
missed her umbrella, which she had last seen on Sunday
night, and she gave information to the pollee—P.O.
Ransford found the prisoner on Tuesday night, and
seeing he had all umbrella under his Ihrill, he IltolZ
him, and asked where hi pt it, when he stead be
=it up opposite the Great Western Railway
, on Monday. Finding the umbrella tallied
with the description be had remired, the constable
took prisoner to the station, and after wards Mrs.
Orchard identified the umbrella.—There had been
three previous coaviedonsztdinst the primmer. and the
Chairman advised him to not guilty, and reserve
his defence, as be wall be committed for tried.
Prisoner followed the advice, and was committed for
trial at the next Quarter Sessions.
Lois or THE Pouca.—Last Thursday morning the
brig Polka, which has been lately repaired in this
port at a met of about £6OO was lost on the Shin;lee
beak, of the coast of Kent. She was under commend
of Capt. Norris, and was bound from Guernsey to
London with stone, and when near the Shingles about
. . . .

—ate nine o'clock n morning, missed her stays an
drove her on the bank. A Ram•gate lugger came off ,
and took tbe crew on shore, leasing the captain and
mate on board until Friday. They managed to save
their clothes, and we believe the captain saved the
charts, Instruments, and ship's books, and they began
to strip the brig. On Friday another lugger came and
took off the captain and mate, it being then deemed
hopeless that the vessel wou'd be saved; it was feared
she would become a total wreck. The Polka was a
fine vessel of 260 tons burden, and supp wed to be
wor:h not lees than £1,400, and, al she had just been
taken out of insurance,the loss will fall on the owner,
Mr. Ayles, ship-builder, of this town.

before. He made a practice of going up Dorchester-
road from the Weymouth aide, and if they missed
he took no ticket, if they caught_ hint he said he was
just g4ing to take It out. —Defrant said he bought
the fish of Mr. Oliver, and it woo a long way to the
Market House, so he always went t Mr. Gray's, and

LOGNOille IN KING-STILIIIT.--Ou Tuesday last,
James Greenhorn, Charles Fullord, Sidney Ralston,
Wlfliain Horford, and James Swindler, five lads, were
charged with causing an oketr.oction on the pavement
opposite Gloctoester•row on Sunday morning. Harford
had gone to Portsmouth.—P.C. Sullen lost Sunday
received instructions, In consequence of a unplaints of
boys congregating at the top I.f King..stre.t, he went
to the place in the afternoon about half past two, and
found a number of young men standing on the curb,
end amongst them the defendants. When they saw
him they nr,vol away, some to the Esplanade, as
they always do, and he walked a rose to them, and
obtained the names mentioned. Ths four defendants
were present, and took part; they were on the pave-
msnt and curb, right out in the road, and there hod
been complaints of these young men spitting on
people's boots. Others were present, and they were
causing an obstruction on the pavement. He did not
boor any bad isoguage.—Sergeant Delamont, about
a quarter•pest two on Sunday, found 10 or 12 young
men standing before No 1, Crescent; he ordered them
away, and thee wen five or six in fr nt of 14,
G'ouceder•row. He removed them, on 1 clutioned
them, and they went away, but it was no
use to caution them, as they came back
again as soon as the constable :IS Lack Sc
turned. It took one man from six to ten o'clock
on Sunday evening, the young men wouLl c agate
' every five minutes, for the purpose of goniping and
paean; remarks.—Mr. T. R. Charles, auc..i none, 14,
Gloncester-row, had lived there more than a years,
and On Sunday afternoon young men congregated in
front and at the corner, so that he had frequently to
complain and had cautioned them over and over
again. He identified all of the defendants aa having
been present, Balston only for a short time. Very
disgusting language was used to kirk, immediately
oppialts his window, and he had gone out and spoken
to them; but they only jeered at him, until they
sow the constable. There were a large numb •r• there'
but these thought themselves the bravest there, and
stayed and got their Wawa taken. The language used
outside was so bad that when sitting In the front room
with bits. Charles and his niece, be had to a•k his
niece to go away. Bo greed had been the nub:once,
that ladies had been unable to sit in his foot room
on account of the bad language. Those present were
not even the worst, for Hayford, who was not present,
was one of the wont, he had been there for year., and
nothing would induce him to go away. Mr. Charles
was very glai that the lad warn g lac to P rtamouth,
and hoped he would not come back.—Mr. W. T.
Hallett eakl he held No. 1, Crescent, as a lodging
hone., and so great was the nuisance ti.at he had
resolved not to renew his lease.—Mr. Charles said
Greenhorn swore twice on this occasion ; the others
he could not say swore.--The SunerintenslAnt said
Fullard and Baleton were quieter than the others.—
The Chairman let those two off with • caution ; but
Greenhorn and Swindler were fined Is. each, or in
default seven days, and the Chairman warned them
they must not congregate at the corners of the streets.
—Mr. Charles would like It to go forth that in future
be would summon all who gathered theno—The
magistrates told him that they widow:l him to do *a.

money' but that was not his (Mr. B-0w...) hew. k.
believed they spent too much for what they got. It had
been uwd as an argument that if thay went to the Local
G iverament Boni for power to borrow money they
would be rendre,' as ti the rust of the improvements, but
hat was a fain argument. for they would have to fall
;.3k upon r.tiug, end then to I ace the dialoolty
of depreciatod prop-rty. By the improvements they
would not bring people who will b t of any advantage to
us. If closer attention were paid to the spending of
moose, they would be far better able to deal with the
difficulties of their dilapidated innate, and not be in the
position their Mayor evolve 01 *kb retard to other
boroughs, who had gone recklessly ti the Board above to
borrow. . . _ . .

Kr. WALLII: Thee We Will have an open-air one. or
there shall be film ineuential gentlemen, who shall go to
the Local Givernmrnt Board. in opposition to this
deputation. He did not sak four or Ave gentlemen to go
from the Board in opporition to the C mac I, but that four
it ti re r .tlpayers should go to represent fact... well..
ths deputation.
Mr. Alderman THOII/1 thought it would be folly to
attempt to send any one to the L oral Government Board,
I. oppoeition to the C mood's deputation; but an oppor-
tunity would be given to the inhabitants to axioms their
opinion when the inspector comes down.
Mr. ROBL:111 remarked on the terms of the resolution—
"To mom t their views further with reference to the
Improvement Scheme, reaped:tog which comet orrespond-
tinge has already take, ethos." He did not know what
might be understood by that; for they did not go to ascertain
what toe Government Board's views are; the collect of
the mediae ems to get them to allow us to borrow a eau
thin sum of money. Mr. D omit hid raid be was proared
to go to every much larger sum thou has been soguified to
be ready to be gaited by the Board. He had looked very
oareoully at the matter, and the in ore he looked at it—
(taking into consideration we are getting now out of some
tot the floating debts, and taking Into consideration what
still weighs upon us)—be saw we could judiciou.ly
0100,40 matters as they arise, with the balsam in hand,
thus meeting the evils respectaithe approaches to the
town. Be knew nothing ao thet which is near
St. John's church, arid should like to me that done, and
it could be dos* with the surplus out of the la rata Be
was exceeding, anxious there should be no duping/4e of
money in the hands of the Town Council, for he knew
that such mottles are apt to be spent. We shall bare
monies enough if judicioutly employed to meet what may
be needed for present net sesities, and if we gee a surplus
in hand, that will be spout whatever check snap be put on

provementa could be met without going to the Local
Government Bard. and there was no necessity for incurr-
ing farther liabilities and risks too heavy for them to
bear.
Mr. CURTIS asked if it was &faded the deputation would
confine their remarks excluded" to borrowing Money for
improvements I
Kr. Souk said the grail object would be to avoid
bringing on any discussion about the drainage.
Mr. Alderman GROVES ead that. WM no reason why
because the deputation will be bidet. the Local Govern-
ment Board will be. They were jest as likely to bring
on the scheme, and compel them.
Mr. Cuing: Supposing they any—" You must go Into
this &duo* question.' will the deputation withdraw
without g lug into the discussion! He would vote to
times bound their being sent, unless they would pledge
themselves not to go into the drainage question.

ought to get the loan for Improvements : very

thre a-e fifty ressons city they should not d 3 it, while
one or two good reasons on the other side outweigh them
all. If they went tn the Local Goverrim.nt Board, they
might a-k—''D o you plainly intend to put down your

And if they esy "Yes," then the drput.tion will hive
nothing further to do with them. But if the Government
Board bring up the drainige, hoe could they compel us
to carry it out? Are we in any worse position now for
asking for the loan? Ha p:rsonal4 in public said the
deputation can in 04 way projiidice us in reference to the
future drainage of the town, they have no more means of
compelling us now than they previowly had. He plainly
said—" Send the deputation: body Is speaking for
improvement.; but then let us have the means, not the
old Idea of which the Israelites complained—having to
make bricks without straw. What is the good of asking
tor improvements if we do not have the means! There

He contended that the loans for improvement will return
• good profit and the capital will be repaid.
Mr. Wig with reference to one of the plums of which
the Mayor bad spoken, remarked that Mr. Croaks was the
mean. of bringing thole who built villas thorn.
Mr. Citmthge wished that Mr. Thomas had not left. He
agreed with the Improvement Scheme, but feared the
L 0.1 Government Board will so put their foot down as to
the drainage that the Council will toe treating on danger-
ous ground, and it will be better to holt on for some time,
and mend tth extra money fir some yea's un,il it is
carried out.
Mr. LO•11.1., was very sorry to &Nor from the May or,
because his Worship was older lb k,l himse.f. By wailing
the deputation to the Local Government Board, they
would be in a worse position, for many of the proceeding
In Council were private, Whitman the drainage will be
talked about in consienee of the deputation to the
Government Board. Why did they appoint • drainage
committee to discuss these matters in private, if now they
were to be before the Government Board
The Marcia sad that was for the town, not for the
Government.
Mr. Iooviti. thougit it should be dismissed in committee
only.
Kr. : Why don't you do it, then?
Mr. LovaLL said it was the opinion of all present that
the Government Board will sac—" Yes, you shall have
your £5,000 when you have drained," and then the people
will siav—" Oh! we don't go t Weymouth, because the
Local Govurnment II ‘ard want thoul to drain."
Mr. GRAHAM thought they were going on the old course
—trying to cut their own throats. The party of progress
brought things before the Council, wishing to proceed
with the work, and before they r mid do anything, the
ground was ..ut (rim under their feet. This discussion
was quite suffloient for the Local Government Board. the
very means to prevent oar getting this money was to let
them have the report of what had been done to-day. Not
• douhe if they went with clean hands. the Government
B ard woull give it them; but directly they want. I to
do anything in this town to Improve it, they were 'toped.
At present, if they want to spend t 2.000 or £3,000 on
improvements, they most pay for it imelmanter.

Mr, (111•1140 : SUDP MIS I am not SOlOO. It will be !MY

Mr. Dooms said Mr. Alderman Thomas spoke of the
alt ore I circumstance, with regard to getting this hien ; but
If there were any, they led to the opposite conclusion front
Mr. Thomas'. There remained more than ever the
necmeity of earrylng them improvements, and for want
of money the Council are brought to • dead-lock.
first duty of a municipality like this is to ensure the good
hoalth or the pe mle residing in it; their next duty is to
advance their commercial ergo- city He wanted to see
the commercill prosperity of this town advanced in com-
parison with tr.WDS on the right and bolt, and he hoped
the deputation would be sent. If the discns‘i in of the
drainage question is to be re-opened, they would have
nothing to to with that.
The Mayo : Woli you add, Mr. Dennis, that we have
already effected the health of the town.
Kr. Dannis assented, and continued that the Local
Government Board have held their hands for about Ave
years in regard to having the drainage scheme curried out,
and they cane it come down upon us now and enforce it..
If they could only ensure the deputation confining them-
selves to the in otter under dboussion—the getting this
money—then th ir end will be attained.
Mr. WEBB: We shall have to put the rata for £5,000
on the ratepayers.

hold that under. riiuory circumstances. ills the duty
of every loyal citizen t, adulates in t ieir decisions on
all matters relating to the general prosperity of the
borough. The present is, however, an eaceptional
and extraordinary occasion. The question which we
are met to-night to considor and discuss has not

been submitted to the test of the ballot at any muni-
cipal election, sto that it is impossible for anyone at

best c tosideration, and hiving formed& strong opinion
respecting it, I feel it to be my duty to props.., for
your acceptance the following resolution : That in
the opinion of this meeting, the Kiog's Statue should
not be removed from Be present site, but should be
thoroughly repaired and embellished, and thus
rendered wo-thy of the august mu ,arch whoa
residence in Wei mouth it was designed to coma:minors

every Englishman to reflect the this country is • land
of liberty, and that it stands preeminent among the
nations of the world Or noble thoughts and generous
actions, and I am sure there is noon. here present who
will not endorse the words of the poet :
" Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,
Who never to lomat' bath said,
R.Tehtuisroisiegmy
If such there breathe, go, mark him ;
own, my native land
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
The wretch, concentred all in self,
Liying, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dyne, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence he wrung,
Unwept, unhonotired, cud unsung."

from this standpoint, I confess I have always bed •

the memory, while that which we derive through the eye
or through actual inspection is of a more tn-luring and

Statue 133 removed from its present conspicuous
position, before many years have passed away, the
memory of the King's reel-fence here will have become
obliterated. But there is another Liao( aoc,ent moults

George 111., whose character b th ass twee -len and as

would not be sail of all the kings id Englan I In
dealing with the question before us, we should never
forget that the eltstue is the especial characteristic of
this place—(applanae)—our very genies loci. There is
not, I believe, another provincial town in the kingdom

watering places on the south coast which 'told in high
repute in his day ; but their claims were igne e I in
favour of Weymouth, which was chosen for the
raidence of the King, who came here every summer
for a *arias of years, and thus conferred upon the town
the highest honour. As the S aloe, then, is our local
specialty, should we not prize it highly, and never cat-

the adage—" de yestabiu non en dimetanden." The

our duty not t death, but to preserve • monument
which we have received as an inheritance from our
I 'refathers. The leaning tower of Plan violates every
canon aathet osm, and yet any attewpt to remove
it, on that account, would arouse a feeling of indigos. Hon throughout the civilised world. The spire of
Salisbury Cathedral diverges from the pet pendiculm,
and yet would not soy one who proposed to take it
down be justly regarded as a can Mate for a in laic
asylum? (Applause ant laughter.) Inagenucn as the
plans sent to the Corporeal a for the improvement of
the Statue have been adjudged (Miura, it is clear that
the best course is to leave it alone, and simply to
repair and embellish it. (Applause.) Lastly, the
objection to the continuance of the Striae, because it
