Boaorron Sesmou, Tuesday. —Before R. Griffin
and J. Ayling, &qrs.
AREA C LT. —Daniel Rogers was charged with
assaulting Edward Oull.—Complainant stated that
on Thursday evening last, about II o'clock, he went
into the kitchen of the Victoria Hotel for the
porpue of getting some plates. He asked • boy for
some hums, when dthndant interfered, followed
witness into the pantry, and "squared' at him.
Witness put the tray down that he had in his baud,
when defendant gave him • severe blow in the eye,
rendering him almost insensible. He afterwards
struck him between the eye and eau, and at the
beck of one of his ears, from the effects of which, •
medical MAR had finforated him, one of the small
veins was broken, and be had been spitting blood
ever ARM Daledalit struck him a fourth time,
and would have followed it up had not • female in-
lerfered.—Defsadant admitted the charge, but said
he was provoked by complainant saying that be
had neglected to clean some knives. lie had been
with complainant for upwards of five years, and had
had an angry word with him before. He was
vm, sorry that he had so forgot IsimealL —Fined 20s.
and coma
Thig &isms or ORIN IL —Jonah Fowler was
placed in the dock charged with being drunk. He
appeared to be suffering from the effects of atom-
pomace, and told the Bench a long, rambling
_state-
ment of how four of the police oonst•bles had at-
tempted to assassinate him. Being evidently out of
his mind, the Beach considered the best course to
adopt would be to let him remain in the station for
a few days; to me if he would regain his senses.—
This was accordingly dons, and the prisoner was
removed to the oells.
AMATEUR 'hIItATRIC•LE. Ecitiouratt by the
moons which attended the meteor trials of
the sth D.IL V. (Weymouth) at the performances in
this town and at the Lulworth volunteer encamp-
ment, • society has recently sprung into existence,
entitled "the sth Dorset Amateur Dramatic Society,"
who have announced their intention of giving two
dramatic entertainments at the Royal Hotel Assembly
Rooms on Wednesday and Thursday evenings the
7th and Bth instant. The programme for the first
night commeness with the drama of "The Spectre
Bndegroom," concluding with the farce of
"Family jars." The second night's amusements
will be in no way inferior to that of the first, the pieces
being "State Secrets," and "Boot, at the Swan."
Those who were fortunate enough to secure
&ticket for admission to the lecture mom of the
Literary Institution on the first occasion of the
amateurs making their debut before • Weymouth
audience, will recollect the efficient manlier in which
they sustained their respective characters; and as
"fresh blood" has since been infused, we have
every reason to believe that the amateurs will, if
possible, not only maintain the laurels which they
have so deservedly won, but will even excel in this
their second appearance. As of course them per-
formances are attended with considerable ex.
pease, prioss for admission will now be charged,
and we hope that the public will most liberally
came forward and support the Society in its
undertakings, thus showing their approval and
approbation with the movement. The Society has
pledged itself to give six performances daring the
coming winter, and we cannot refrain from again
expressing a hope that • generous public will smile
with approbation upon our native talent in their
performances, as such action will naturally be the
means of making them use still greater exertions to
please and amuse.
IMPART SCHOOL —OO Sunday three sermons were
preached at St. Mary's Church in aid of the infant
school of that parish. The Rev. Talbot Grooves
preached in the morning and evening, and the
Rev. G. A. Poole in the afternoon. The collections
amounted to £66 4s. bd.

The Royal Sovereign, IS. iron screw cupola ship,
Captain Sberard Osborn, C. 8., arrived in Portlaod
Roads on Monday from Spithead. On Tuesday
afternoon the Prince steam yacht conveyed a large
number of passengers on board, who were, through
the kindness of her oornmander, permitted to
go over and inspect this wonderful specimen of
naval architecture.

MR. Oceicre's Forruromi NO CONC CRT. A pother
rich musical treat is in store for the inhabitants
of this town, Mr. Oubbins announcing • grand
masicial entertainment at the Assembly Rooms of the
Royal Hotel on Tuesday evening, the 20th of
September, when the following renowned artistes
will appear :—Grisi, Sainton-bolby, Patey, Mario,
Balaton, and Meyer-Lutz. Such a combination of
talent cannot fail to attract • most crowded
house. In order to acoommodate the public as
faze. possible, Mr. Oubbins's former concerts
having always been crowded to sues., Mr.
Lace has allowed him to remove the partition In the
Assembly Room, by which meana specie for about
ISO additional seats will be obtained.

Town Cloonan. Marrixo.-6:—Wednesday •
meeting of the municipal authorities took place at
the Guildhall The Mayor, H. Doveslab, Req.,
occupied the chain The first business was to coo.
rider • letter reoeived from Mr. Richard Reynolds,
builder, respecting the repair of the bridge. At
their former meeting, as his was the only tender,
and as it was 000adered to be too high, it wee
returned to him for consideration, and the letter
now before the Council stated that Mr. Reynolds
had since declined to have anything to do with the
matter. —The Mayor remarked that something must
be done to the bridge before the winter mom set
is, and in anticipation of which he had ordered
their Surveyor and Mr. Collett to examine and
report upon it. They stated that the rollers
and machinery were in need of repair, and that the
flooring was in need of immediate attention. —Mr.
Drew was of opinion that the Council should simply
have done what was really necessary. New Boone(
was badly wanted, and that ought to be done at
' once. He supporred that would soot about £lOO,
and contended that motley so laid out would be
advantageously spent until more was expended
upon a new bridge. The Council wanted to lay out
• W-go nun of motley upon a bridge which was not
adapted for the requirements of the town. They
were in a position to do much better.--Mr. Ayling
considered they were not in a position to bare • new
bridge. —Mr. Drew replied that they were never in
a position to do anything to improve Weymouth.
Nature had done all she could, but they had done
nothing.—Mr. R. Thomas remarked that anew bridge
would cost £so,ooo.—Mr. Drew mid they must not
mind the expense in having a new bridge with flood
gakm.—Mr. Weleford aid something !nest be done
to the Backwater for the stench from the place *as
dreadful. —Mr. Devenish said that he felt quite as
strongly on the subject as Mr. Drew, but the
difilculty would be in obtaining an Act of Puha-
ment.e—Mr. Drew thought the oppositioo would be
but feeble. He considered the Council should do some-
thing for the town, for which posterity would thank
them. Since be had been in the Council they had
done nothing worth doing. They had shined their
boots, and were still levering thent.—After a very
unimportant disoundoe' in which almost every
member of the Council agreed that it was
that the bridge should be relloored, it was
that the Surveyor be instructed to prepare specifica-
tions for the srioaand that tenders should be invited
for doing the work.—ln reference to the Chancery
snit between Manna Gibson and Dyer, ooal
merchants, and the Corporatsoc, the Mayor read the
following report from the ChancerySeit Committee
" Your committee beg to report that they hive
investigated the circumstances contained in the bill
Sled in the Court of Chancery, and find by the Bridge
Act that when and saloon as it shall appear that the
whole of the moneys disbursed shall have been rallied
sod collected the duties on coals and the tolls on the I
bridge shall cease. They therefore beg to recommend
that anangementa be made for can7lsl this into offset
on tied after the 6th October nezt,astherewillthenb,i
money sufficient to pay off the last mortpip,ko. In
officio/ at this cowhides your committee liave been
led to • oossidastioe of the niricies balances in the
hands of the present treasurer, as wiles the old Waimea
due to said from the late treasurer, and your sonnsittee
recommend that the said amounts with tholes. treasurer
be speedily arranged ; end in ceder to facilitate this,
and to place the Town COillal aseeents isle a snore
satisfactory stale, they niconinsend the extension of the
leases of the houses in York.buildinP • and that the
Conseil take into eosaidieration the propriety of bringing
into operation the Act 10 and 11 Vic., woo 1547, for
redering the dues of the harbour and coosolidating
the trusts of the harbour and hedge into one.
Your committee further report that they have cora-
munioated with Mews. Dyer. and Gibson, the pets.
Winn to the Cbasenry soul, through their solicitor,
Mr. Councillor Howard, and hold their written cm-
sent to withdraw the proceedings in Chancery on con-
dition that the does erase on the day ribose-named, sod
that their taxed costs be allowed; and on their
part they undertake to pay up all arrears of harbour
dem de and routines Hui payment of such dues up to
the 6th October next."
Messrs. Gibson and Dyer sent in a letter to the
Council, offering to withdraw from the aria if an
undertaking was given them that the coal does
should own as the 10th ot October, nod that the
Corporation should pay the code up to that data.
The Mayor said that believing each a cower would

be beet for the interests of the town he hadoonsented
to do so.—Mr. B. Thomasmeed that the report
should be received and adopted, and in so.doing ex-
pressed the pleasure it afforded him that further
litigation bad been stopped by such an amicable
arrangement.—Mr. Roberts seconded the pro-
position, which was earned unanimously.—
Some desultory discussion mimed with reference to
the propriety of granting new leases to several
bows In Tork.buildinp, which ultimately resulted
in the Town Clerk being instructed to write to the
respective owners of Nos. 3,4, 6,6, and?, in the 1
above buildings,o6eriog them a Imes for 75 years, out
the present one being surrendered, for the sum of
£5OO, and a ground rent of 2e. for each house. —The
last subject connccted with the business of the
Courwil was to take the neoemary steps to bring in
force the Harbour arid Bridge Consolidation Act of
1647, by which the Corporation could borrow to the
amount of £40,000. Several members of the
Cooped considered that the best course would be to
durum the matter in committee Bret, and then lay a
report before the Council. —Mr. Thomas objected to
such a proceeding, and expressed a hope that such an
important matter would be done openly, and when
the representatives of the press were present—lt
was, however, decided that the subject ahould be
oonsidered in committee first, and the Town Clerk
was requested to prepare the necessary notices,
and to take steps for carrying out the directions of
the Bridge hot with reference to the cessation of
local dues and tolls. The Mayor read a
letter which he had received from Mr. Charles
Thomas, expressing his thanks to the Council for the
respect which they had accorded to his late parent,
Mr. W. Thomas. The business connected with the
Board of Health was devoid of interest.
