TOWN COUNCIL MEETING AT WEYMOUTH.
A meeting of the members of the Corporatioe was
held at the Guildhall on Thursday, the Mayorpresiding.
TAB BACCWATEI WALL.
The Mayor said the first basins@ was to take into
consideration Mews. Aird's amended plan for incising
• portion of the Backwater, and deetding what step'
should be taken thereon. He stated that at the last
meeting of the Council • plan was submitted of the pro-
posed wall (which will comments from Boot-lasts and
extend to the ps works) which was perfeetly straight,
but the general opinion seemed to be that • curved one
would he preferable, acid that the harbour
would be improved, and the wall also rendered more
tightly. The plan was oossequestly sent back for
amendment, and the on. now produced wee wording
to the wishes of the Goosed—Mr. B. Thomas mid the
question now was as to raising the means ; there weld
be no doubt as to the improvement. However nothing
could he done until the Tornpike Commissioners were
consulted, as it was part of their scheme—the Mayor
intimated that he believed the Commissioners were
willies to make some compensation, but what amount
be did not know.—Mr. Hibbs suggested that the im-
mense amount of dirt which was now sent out of the
tows should be sppropriated for the purpose of filling
up the vacant epos and making lend. 'Pb. stuff WU
now carried about • quarter of a mile further, and when
*old did not realise scarcely anything, whereas it would
he of great value in makieg land.—Mr. R.. Thomas
remarked that the deeream is the cost of carting wonld
oompensate for any lose that might arise from tbe sale
of the refuse. He thought it would be the best plan to
fill the mace op by degrees—Mr. Hibbe said if the well
was built, persons, ouch as builders and others, would
be glad to till the space up.—le reply to Mr. Hibbs, the
Clerk said to raise the mosey for the building of the
well would require the sanction of the Lords of the
Treasury, the security for which would be the Corpora-
tion property.—Mr. Hibbs asked if the Council could
not borrow money in the Mae way as they did for the
removal of the Eagle Tavere.—The Clerk replied in the
negative, stating that was done under the borrowing
powers of the Board of Health.-11r. Devenish said that
as soon as the wall was built the land would be worth
£2,500. and he was of opinion that it ought to be com-
menced immediately. If the Corporation would
guarantee to pay the yearly interest, and glee as
security the lend reclaimed, he would provide the money
for the erection of the wall.—After • few further
remarks, the Mayor inquired whether it was the wish
of the Council to adjourn the matter for the purpose of
hearing what the turnpike trustees would do)—Mr.
Hibbs said the Railway Company would finish their
work Ix about six weeks' time, therefore he thought
the matt, ought not to be delayed. He was of opinion
that oh. Council might come to "'decision upon it at
once.—Mr. Deviinish stated that if they wished Marrs.
Aird to build the will they .nust be prompt, as
the railway works would soon be completed.
and the men dispersed. Nothing would
facilitate the matter so mach as having an interview
with the Turnpike Commisaioners, and making arrange-
ments with them.—Mr. K Thomas expressed shops
that during the delay which might take place the
Council would prevent the Railway Company from
taking away any more soil from the itackwater. They
had taken tons for filliag up the embankment.—
The matter was left in the bands of the Town Clark so
that he might arrange an early meeting of the Turn.
p be Commissioners with the Counoil.—A letter from
the Turnpike Trustees asking permission to take soil
from the Backwater was referred to the next meeting
of the Council.—During the discussion Mr. Btannarti
had been sent for, and on his admittance to the Council
Chamber, in reply to questions, he said the Portland
Railway would be finished in about a-month, and after
that the contractors would have nothing to do with the
Ikekwater wall. The atone would be got out of the
flatting. els the lino for the Backwater wall ; if such had
not beime the case, it would have cost about £4OO more.

ST. JOHN'S scsoom
The Mayor reed • letter from the Rev. J. Stephen-
son, incumbent of St. John's Church, asking the
Council to let the trustees of these schools a small
triangular piece of groun at the corner of Waterloo-
place. close to which the St. John's Schools are to be
erected, s that it might be fenced in, in order to pre-
vent intim:lees accuioulating, or any objectionable
tuildin; —Mr. Howard said this piece of ground could
not 'de let ;it was tart of the public med.—Mr. Hibbs
titought the hest way would be to lewe it for 75 years
for some mull amount and leave it open—The Clerk
replied that the Council had no power to lease the land
except low building purposes. The trustees of the
wheals wanted it at a nominal rent, about lc per
menum.—Mr. Hibbs said his impreseinn was that the
schools would be ma great • Dolma= to the itthabitants
of Waterloo-place as could be waited for. If he bad
wopetty there he should not like to have • National
iteh-ol near it.—Mr. Howard thought it was • grpt
juistake to allow a lot of children to be in one ot the
beat neighbourhoods of the town. -• Mr. Devenith re-
Irtatked that he wee sure the general feeling of the
town was adverse to building achoola in the
lucidity spoken of. They would spoil the entrance
to the town.—Mr. Howard stated that it was one of the
greateet mistakes a man could possibly make for to
erect National Schools in one of the best building neigh-
bourhoods of the town. Ile alluded to the nuisance
ariiing to the inhabitants in the vicinity of the National
and Chapelty Schoula, from the children who attended
three places, and remarked that the man who pee the
mite for St. John's Schools ought to have known better.
It he (Mr. Howard) had • house in Waterloo-place be

whether the Conned had not power to prevent the
schools from being built.—Mr. Devenish maid, if a house

duties. It could hardly he expect.' that tboae Dtk-
men connected with the Railway Company should take
part in thin matter. He hsd, therefore, in the full
00000 of duty, eedertaken this subject that otherwise
he should have shrunk from. He then alluded to the
financial volition of the harbour fund, which was so
ins °lard that should any accident to the quay occur,
and it should require rebuilding, only one of two
courses was open to them—the walls must either remain
unbuilt, thereby endangering adjacent property, as
well as leave the harbour unfit for oornmercial purposes.
or they must discontinue the payment of interest upon
the loans, eithyr of which was a most unp'essant
altetnatiee. He then alluded to the prop, se which the
harbour tramway was mating, and contended that the
work was most unsatisfactory. injuring the quay wslla,
weak, ning the moor np for ships, and greatly affecting
the convenienoes of the quay. He feared that,
no.witlistanding that it bad been said that the
Portland Railway Company would have to repair the
quay walls where their traniway mimed, that the
Council would be called upon to repair any damage ; and
not only that, but by the Act of Parliament would
film be made amenable to damage for DOS doing 101
unless an agreement was made to the contrary. It
would be too great a task for those few disinterested
members of the Council to undertake to say what
working arrangements should be mode what compensa-
tion for tli• pr- sent, or security for the future, should
be it. mended of the Railway Company. He therefore
considered it flees-teary that the Council altott'd have
some aid Is 'miring at a proper conclusion. He urged
UPQn them as men of bustimm, and men of honour to
see this state of things settled without any probability
of doubt, as • great amount of property would be en-
dangered by the destruction a the quay wall, sad
as those parties who had advanced money noon the
securities of the harbour had done so upon the honour
and iiit•gritv of a public body. He asked them to
make amend. for former negligence, and to meet the
question without fair. favour. or sleet-on. In *m-
ein-don he .übmitted the following moieties :—"That

he should like to kolas from the Town Clerk whether

Railway Compaay with referee°. to the tramway, and,
If 00, what steps had been taken to moue them.—The
Town Clerk replied none. He dad wet believe the
Company were liable under the Ad to repair the quay
walls, and the Corporation were got la a position to
compel them to in m. —Mr. Demolish said the Great
and Routh-Western Railway Compthies had pledged
themselves to keep thir tramway in repair, cad that was
the belt security they maid Iseee.—Tbe Town Clerk
replied that the tramway was caw thing, and the quay
another. If the will fell down the Conned would sot

seasons, WA he (Yr. Thome.) should stop the working
of it uoles the company some to terms.— Mr. llowerd
wished to be informed where shunting' were to be pieced
on the qusy. He thought it would be. very hard case
if be was discharging • newel near the steam masts
to have to wait until a track at Mr. Viitue's
stores ha 4 finished lailing.—Mr. Roberts said his
opinion wee that owing to the tramway beige laid down
where HO tons of coal used to some in the harbour
there would DOW be 500. He thought,
iatereste of owners of veteds ought to be oonsollse'd by
the Company.—Mr. Devenish replied that Mr. Roberts,
then,ought to hold up his band for the tramway. The
Council would find the Company willing to do anything
in reason, but if they were not apprieched how could
they expect things done. They would make better
working arrangements for the tramway than the
Council eould.—Mr. Thanes maintained that the Quay
was weakened by the in which the tramway
was placed, and the harbour damaged.—Mr. Devenith
wanted t 0... what power the Corporation had to melee
the Company repair the wall. If there was any pow. r
which would prove for the benefit of the Council, he
hoped it would be exercised. The Company neither
asked a favour nor wanted one, but to expect that they
would build up the old (play walls was out at all
character—Mr. Thomas asked what the charges of fares
on the tramway were to be.—Mr. Devenish replied at
the same rate of mileage as in Lendon.—Mr. Howard
said the Council were in this poaitioa. They had
repaired the harbour. and had no funds to pay for it,
and if the quay wall fell down to-morrow they had
no means of petting it up again. What Mr. Thomas
wanted to know was this—if the Company were pre-
pared totkeep up the wall how it would be don.?—Mr.
Deveniths said the harbour wee in this position Had
it not been for those individuals who OM* forward and
supported the Channel Months' Company in this tow)..
there would have been no funds to repair the harbour
at all with. If that Contpan, were taken away the
Council would be In • state of bankruptcy. The quay

years,and 20 years ago it was considered that they could
not stand a year longer. An attempt was then mad.
to raise £40,000 to pay of a debt, sad rebuild the
quay wall; but the town was in such an uproar, and so
much opposition was evinced against the measure—
equibbi and other protege being ilisfiesls,it being fancied
th,t the Council were going to sell the birthright of the

roue, the Council would not hays been treated half so
liberally as they had been.—Mr. B. Thome; said he had
done his duty in bringing the ambled forward.—Mr.
Denson& replied that be (Mr. Thomas) had brought
forward a few things, some of which were sonnet, and
some great mistakes. Anything that be could do to
better the position of the Connell would be supported.
—Mr. Howard inquired if gay damage 'hasfl arias to
shipping owing to the insufficient moorings erhicb were
now on the quay, whether the Conceit ...did he liable.
—The Town Clerk replied in the afiltutative, but stated
that there would he • rented} &plod the oontractors.—
Mr. Stannard eras again admitted in the Council
Chamber, when, on being told that the mooring; were
not considered sufficiently strong, thought the reverse
was the case if, however, he said. a reale were to
pall !luau away and mums the wall to fell .town, the
Company would put the matter right .gain.—Mr.
Devenith celled Mr. Thomas's attention to that fact,
when the latter replied that, with due respect to Mr.
Steamed, he could not lake his opinion.—Mr. Iltannard
also said there would be two places for shunting —one at
Bank Home, an 4 the other neer the) nth Market, or
Honeywell's—Mr. Howard considered that two would
not be sufficient, when Mr. &Renard remarknd that it
was only to ask for another.—Mr. Leven'sh mid, it
' appeared to him that they were grumbling at things
which they knew nothitig at all about. The Company
'bad only to bi asked to allow such things. —Some
Sonversation then took place respecting SOWN wooden
steps which bad been treated, leerisex from the quay to
the bridge, Mt. Months masotaleing that they ought to
have been stone or iron, but it was afterwards shown
that the Railway Coln/stay were not obliged to erect
these stems at all, but hal done ro free of charge, and for
the thoommodation of the town.—ln reply to Mr.
Howard about the working arrangements of the tram-
way, Mr. Stannard mild the Council had better newt Yr.
Ward on that subject.—Mr. Devonian said the arrange,
month rested entirely in the hands of the Company.—
Mr. Howard replied that they must be closely looked
into, so that they might not prove injurious to the town.
—Mr. &Annan' said that Mr. Grierson, the principal
traffic manager of the Great Western Railway Compsoy,
together with Mr. Weed, would be in the town on
Monday, and intimated that the Council had better
meet them offithdly,and make arrangements with them.
—Mr. Devenish intimated that he would readily meet
the gentlemen alluded to, but, being connected with the
Railway Coat-any, he thought it would be hest for bins
not to do so.—Mr. Thomas thought there ought to be •
survey of the quay before the tramway was
taken possession of by the Railway Company. He
was most anxious to see matters set perfectly
straight—Mr. &aniseed said the Company would make
the quay walls secure before the tramway was taken
posseasion of.—Mr. Thomas was of opinion that in the
working of the tramway the Council ought to have the
asaistance of Mr. Briar —Mr. Devenirh said there wee •
resolution to that cffect, when Mr. Thomas replied that
it did not go to the length of the tramway.—Mr.

Devenish bead Mr. Thnn-iam's pardon. Everything
was to be kit to Mr. Bruff. He understood the Tao-
isticn to be a moat satisfactory one. If the tramway
we not included in it, it MVO only to propose another.
It was to the interested the town that the quay •alla
should belt, good order.—Mr. Thomas attributed mesh
of the iniaryj to the pity walk to rodilt from the
Channel Islsnds' atemners. Whilst admitting that they
were • beneit in some rawest.. be maintained that they
were • great charge open the town, as the traffics
arising from them injured the roads.—Mr. Devenish
remarked that the object of the tramway wee to carry
the traffic front the steamers by the back of the town
withous tojnring the roads. There would not be isalf
no much trails an the streets as formerly, and lie alluded
to the nuisance which was ceased by the trail° of
potatees from the quay to the station.—Mr. Leos eon-
sidered that the tramway era* one of the greateat im-
provements whiola had been introduced in the town for
many years.—Mr. Devenivh salrithat, although be was
oonnected with the Railway Company he had never lost
I sight of the interests of the town and Council. He
alluded to the opposition which the Water Company
met in starting their *cheese, people thinking they were
mad : but now the shares were doubled in value, and
the Water Company had proved • great blessing to the
town.—Mr. Howard then nropoeed the following rise-
loans, in the place of Mr. Thomas's, which met with no
seconder: That Mr. Bruff he requested to value and
side what compenvation alienist be paid by the vray•
mouth and Portland Railway Company for the ue of
the roads and quay. in laying their tramway thereon,
and also what arrangements should he made in reference
thereto for the henegt nf Corporation and public." Mr.

LAUMCIL—The Italian barque, Affruone, laden with
coal, which, some months ago, was compelled to seek
refuge in this port, owing to damage sustained by
stress of weather, and go on Mr. Beamnt's slip, was
launched on Monday evening, having undergone a eons-

A CHILD FOUND DISH ON THS QU•T.—An
inquest wee held at the Duke of Cumberland, on
, Thareday afternoon, before H. Look, Req., deputy'
I coroner, on the body of an unknown female infant,
who was picked up on the Quay on the previous
evening.—Willisin Reeves stated that about seven
o'clock on Thursday evening, as he was coming
under the Bridge, he saw the body of a child on the
edge of the Quay. A man Burt pared by
who went to the station for a polioeman, and it
was taken to the station. The infant appeared to
be recently born, and had no clothing about it.
Alexander Hansom, surgeon, said that about half'
past seven o'clock on Thursday evening his atten-
tion Wee directed to the body of a child which was
found on the Quay. He examined it, but could not
Ihid any external marks of violence. The umbilical
eorff had been either torn or come away from
natural causes, but he was of opinion that the cord
had come away by the latter means. The body was
decomposed, and he was of opinion that the child
had died from suffocatioo, either from immersion or
from pressure on the nose or mouth. The child
might have been born a reek, but he was of opinion
that it had been in the water for four days.—The
jury returned an open verdict of" Found Drowned,"
the foreman (Mr. Masao) expressed his regret
that some measures could not be adopted to prevent

THIL Poon RATA—The last poor rate levied on the
Go:opine of property in this Wand, anseuding to 3s. is
the pound, is so much that many wean have been ea-
able to pay. The consequence is that about 90 have
been excised, whilst many were summoned at the
patty 'onions et the Guildhall, Weymouth, on Friday.
when about 20 more were maned. Then Is a genteel
fi cling of dissatisfaction amongst the retepayers, as
mouse persons are excused from the rate wit*
mu well afford to pay. Persons who are Is

less than SI a week, are said to be °leased, and
others who, as far as dress is concerned, vie with our
tradesmen, are deo exempted ,• whilst souse who really
might be excused are compelled to pay the rata. Its.
computed that about 110 persons have beee ensued
from paying the rate, whilst there are upwards of RIO
receiving out door relief and 10 In the Union. In spite
of this it is maid that Punned is a prosperous place. So
it may be for some, but if the list of recipients were
k noon to the general body of the ratepayers, it is
doubtful whether the tide of affairs would not be
altered. The people, however, have the power to remedy
the evil, but if they will not use it they must abide with
the consequence of their neglect.

BLANDFORD. —Fr:menet or Ma. S. PoND.
On Wednesday morning the mortal remains of this
mueloesteented gentleman were borne to their final
reeting•plaos. The beans was preceded by the
oßicisting minister (the Rev. It. Gray), and shout
20 farmers and tradesnien intimately connected with
the deceased. On arriving at the grave at the
Independent Chapel burying.ground, and whilst the
corpse was being lowered, suitable passages of
Scripture were read by Mr. Gray, and the memento,
and friends afterwar& proceeded to the chapel,
where a portion of Scripture was read, and the
following addresses delivered by the rev. gentleman:
" The event which gathers us together to-day is of
unusual ;significance. Every death, whether the
death of the helpless infant, of the boy in his youth,
or of the man in his prime, or even of the man
whose existence has been prolonged beyond the
period of threescore years and ten, is but an illostra-
non of the general law. 'lt is appointed unto man
epee to die :' but it is not appointed to all men
to die by a sodden stroke. But the grave that we
have just left remind us that we may arise
in what is, or seems to be, our accustomed
health in the morning, may spend • pen of the day
in the ordinary buena= of life, and before the day
itself is done, the vital spirit may have taken its
flight to the eternal world. That grave reminds= that
no kindling= of disposition will exempt • man from
the stroke of death ; that no geuerosity, though it
may make a man beloved by all around him, will
exempt him from the common lot of mortality. It
reminds us not only that we most some day' die, but
that we hold our life by a tenure, that we know not
how soon we may die. It were well if we received
this lemon which Providence seems to teach us.
We are apt to attach too math importance to what
may be the manifestation of the last few weeks of •
lingering illness. There is too much made often-
times of • death bed repentance. We may make
tea mach of it, as if we were sure that there would
be given us that opportunity of repentance at last.
Bet this event reminds us that we may not have
that opportunity. and that there may be given us DO
more than a moment's warning. That open grave
warns us to be ready. It reminds us that it may
be well for us, that whether the Son of Man =meth
in the first watch, or second watch, or third watch,
we may be able to welcome his approach, and say
—" Even so, coon Lord Jesus, come quickly."—
The 15th chapter of the let Corinthians was then
read, and the service was concluded with prayer.
A large number of the inhabitants of the town
were present, the deceased being greatly esteemed
by all parties.
DlSTniuselioa EIDICIDL—On Thursday last, another

mediae to view the body, the =toner stated that the
mason why he had empennelled a jury that evening
was because the next day —Good' Friday—ens considered
the same in law as Sunday, and Saturday, being market.
d.y, it would have been very inconvenient for them to
attend, and therefore he considered it best to have the
Inquiry instituted at once. The Joey expressed their ,
entire eciocurnince in this arrangement, and after being I
sworn proceeded to view the body, which was laid oet
in the =me upper room or garret as the fetal deed was
committed, and which bore unmistakeable evidence of
the feat, a large portion of the Boor near the window

position of Mr. Finoham, Mr. If. r.b. was ideated

was appointed way-warden for those parts of the
perish not comprised in the district under the Lend
Government Act, The report of the audit.= of lbe
Bartel Board was then reed by the chairman, ns
follows:—" We beg to report to the vestry tint tha

ment of an inspector of nuisances, the vestry con-
sidered that, a, the Local o‘verionent Act would
soon come into operation, and the duties hitherto
performed by that °Meer devolve upon it, there was

no necessity to elect an inspector.
Samotts .Acc ioattr.—Cu Wednesday • very sad
accident occurred to • young man named Alfred
Hares, in the "weenie of Richard Davies. Hot, a
gentleman who has been for some time past residing
at the Crown lintel. It appears that on the after-
noon of thatitay Hares was riding one of his master's
horses, and that woo after leaving Stourpaine on his
way to Blandford, the animal, • valuable bunter,
started off at full speed, and dashed down the bill
towards the turnpike gate. Unfertunately, the
gate was fastened, and the animal swerving a little
to the right made • spring at and endeavoured
to jump over the iron bars which join the main
gate with that used by foot passengers. So great
was the force that the top bar was bent nearly
double, and the poet shattered, the animal in its
descent striking its hind legs against it, told throw'
ing its rider with fearful foroe against the wall.
Both man and horse when found were to a most
pitiable condition, the latter having received such
injuries as to be of no further use, was takeu to the
kennels at Bryanstone, and killed. As soon as
possible messages were sent into Blandford for
medical assistance, and Dr. Bacot proceeded to the
scene of the disaster. Lady Portman, with her
usual kindness, sent her invalid pony-chaise to
convey the sufferer to the town. On examinatiou
he was found to have sustained very severe injuries
to his bead, one of his ears being nearly off, as well
as being hurt in bis back. On latest inquiries we are
happy to state he is going OU AS favourably as can be
expected. This is not the lint, nor is it likely to be
the last of Norton, accidents happening at Stourpaine
gate, which is situated at the bottom of • very steep
bill which erodes the Doreet and Somerset line. It
is almost impossible if a bores starts off to check
him before &relying at the gate; and we have yet
to understand why a turnpike
in
is closed in broad
daylight. Had it been open us all probability this
serious accident would not have happened, as the
rider might have been able to check his horse
when it arrived at the hill • short way beyond.

as members of the Board ; and as in a great measure
