The weather was again most favourable to-day, but
there were few riflemen at the butt., tams no
doubt rather preferring to shoot for the Colonel's
prim under the deadvantage of not having sufficient
light last night, than waste another day. The mejority
of the competitors fired off their number of roundest
the loose range last night, but finding that their scores
were not very high did not put in an appearance at the
200 you& rangy to-day, and we have therefore only
given the names and ream of them who fired at both
ranges. Sergeant Charles, however, the winner of the
Colonel's prise, shot both his rounds this morning.

DRUNK AXD Assauvrmo THE POLIC/L
A waterman, named Joseph Tewkesbury, was
brought up in custody, charged with being drunk
and ammilting the polies. It appeared that as P.C.
Powell was on duty near the Chapelry Tavern,
about three o'clock in the morning, he found
prisoner asleep in a garden. He turned an his light,
and this had the effect of arousing the simper from
his slumbers. The &Boer inquired what business be
bad there at that unseemly hour, when prisoner got
up, seined him by the °oiler ai;d tail of the mat,
striking and kicking him several times. The officer
succeedede in getting away, when he drew his staff

Prisoner was very violent, and tore the tail of the

policeman's madame had to be obtained before primo

beer-home keeper, was also charged with a similar
offence.—Mr. Howard appeared for the defence.—

that on Stioday morning, the 25th of September,
between 9 and 12 o'clock, he visited defendant's
house, the Charleston Tavern, where he sow several
men obtain liquor, for which they paid. There was
also another charge against defendant for keeping
his house open between the hours of two and five

sad out of the house were lodgers. Although he
meld not shut his eyes to the fact that defendant
bed appeared before them, still as he held in his
bead • certificate of 21 years rod character, daring
which time defendant served in the army, be hoped
the Bench would take that into consideration, and
not punish him with the heavy fine which the law
imposed—Mr. Usderwood said defendant had been
convicted three times of similar offences. His bones
was the worm conducted one in the county.—
Captain Manning said it was only last month when
defendant was fined for two similar offences.

mossy, but the gentry did not bear that
relative proportion of the expense which they ought
to do. (Hear, bear.) When a tradesman lame
forward to take a leading part they ought hi Pal
him honor for so doing, and ought to feel proud at
the name of one whose health he was about to pre
pod, and from the veil bottom of his beait he felt
proud to propose the health of Mr. Mace. (Loot
cheers.) He felt greater pride in proposing his
health at finding that the members of the boat club
valued his services, and on this their anniversary had
taken occasion to premed him with a small tribute
to show that they valued his exertions—not that the
tribute was worthy his exertions, but as a slight
acknowledgment to show that they valued his
I services—and he trusted that as years passed by he
(Mr. Mace) would do the same as be bed already
done, and still display the same anxiety for the wel
fare of the club. He (the Chairman) hoped that
when Mr. Mace observed the present on his table he
would think of what he bad done for the boat club,
and he (Mr. Howard) was sure they wished that it
was of more value in order to show their apprecia-
tion of his worth. (Hear.) He should therefore
cell upon Mr. Wallis to read a shod address which

(the Chairman) had so inadequately expressed. (Loud

posited it, addressing Mr. Maori, said be had
been requested by the members of the boat
dub to read an address, and also to present
him with a slight testimonial of their esteem as well

the following address :
"To MR. BCPTIIIIOI3 MACK
"Sri,— It would be a matter of great regret and
grave reflection upon ourselves were we, with the
advantages we here possess, to allow an associdlon
so well calculated to develops the physical and
mental powers as the Weymouth boat club to die
out from among us, and become a thing of the pest.
"The advantages to be derived from each as indi-
lotion cannot be oven-estimated, and adequately
appreciated even by those who take an active pert
in id affairs.
"The club owes meth to those gentlemen who,
with yourself, originated and set it is motion; but
it is to you, sir, especially, indebted for the interest
you have taken throughout in all its welfare.
We have seen the manly spirit you have displayed
upon all ocosside when • calculated to
elevate the moral and ihyacsl condition of those
around you was in question, and in nothing more
than in the affairs of the host dab have you di..
played your zeal to greeter advantage. At all times
have you given it your earned and disinterested
support, and exerted yourself as few others have
dame to further ita prosperity and perpetuate its
existence ; and had it not been for your love of that
noble spirt in which we may ray our countrymen
aloes excel, we should have been deprived of that
word of recreation and annueutent which has
enabled most of us to pees many pleasant, but which
would otherwise have been weary hours.
"We trust, sir, that others will follow the good ex-
ample you have set, and that you will in future, as
in the pest, given. the benefit of your advice, and
*stead to us your active co-operation."
[44 signatures here followed.]
Mr. Macs, in responding, assured them that he
was very proud of the testimocial the boat club had
presented to him, which he was certain he was un-
worthy to receive. (" No, no.") When the club
wee started it afforded him as much pleasure as any
one, for he had children growing up, and hi knew it
would be for their advantage and for the youth of
the town; but he could assure them that it was with
feelings of greater pleasure that he received this
tribute from them. They might believe him when
he said that all his influence should be still given
to the club, in the same manner as it bad always
been. He believed the Weymouth boat club bad
been the source of a great deal of pleasure to his
children, and to many present. He only wished be
had strength to have gone into their detests many
• time when he had not been able to do so. He
should always esteem the present they had given
him as the prided his household. (Loud chem.)
The CHAIIIX•N proposed "The Testimonial
Fund Committee," and in doing so pared a high
eologium on the activity which they had d isplayed, and
remarked that the club were greatly indebtted to them
for their exertions. The names of Messrs. Wallis,
Rolls, and Roberta were connected with the toed.

(Cheers)
Mr. Rom-3 responded, remarkiag that since he bad
bean connected with the boat club be bad dons big
utmost to promote its prosofirity, but still he felt be
had not done half enough. He hoped that in future be
should be able to take more interest in it, for he bad
found rowing to bee most healthy as well as amusing
exercise. . . .

Tnowas, in highly eulogistic term pro. I
poled the Weigh of the Chairman.
In responding. Mr. HOWARD thanked Mr. Thome
for the way in which he had proposed his health, sod
the company for receiving it, and in doing so, said it
came from the bottom of hie heart. He bad taken 1
an active part in the club, although, as Mr. Wallis
had said, at the commencement of the moon he
found that be should not be able to give oo much
time to it as he oould wish, but when he could he
had always done so. (Hear, bear.) He quite agreed
with some words which fell from Mr. Wallis in
reading tbe address, that they should all do their
best to promote a healthy moral recreation for the
people at large. He adverted to some of the re-
Marks made by Mr. Rolla, and said that one of the
main objects the club had in view was the physical
condition of the young. He wished the club every
messes which they wished themselves, that not only
might the club prosper, but that they might all have
every wish which was good for them in this world.
(Load cheers.)
"The Health of the Corporation" was proposed
by Mr. MACS, who associated with ii the same of
Mr. R. Thomas, on whose general conduce in public
matters he planed a high tribute of praise.
Councillor Tuostas suitably tendered his a:know.
lodgments.
Several other Wide were then given and responded
to, interspersed with singing, and the meeting was
one of a most jovial and harmonious character.
