on previous occasions geomeded in rendering both
drama and farce in capital style, are about to devote

excellent arrangements. The pieces will be the thrill-
ing melodrama of "The Broken Sword," and the faros
of 'Caught by the Cuff," and songs will also be sung by

delight with bisantlid performances on the flute. The
dram circle has been removed to the balcony, where the

ATHLETIC AitiIOCIATIO/L—The quarterly meeting of
this usociation was h.ld on Inlay night, at the Guild-
hall, in order to arrange the plan of operations for the
coming season. Most of the active members were
present, including the indefatigable hon. secretary, Mr.
T. Wallis, and Mr. E. Pewee presided. Mr. George
Dominy was re-elected captain' and Mr. F. N. White
woe appointed lieutenant, for the season. Circulars
were ordered to be sent to the hon. members, usquaint-
ing them with the times when matches are to some off,
and it is hoped that the premier of more of the
gentlemen who support the emulation will give
Increased spirit to the play. It was proposed
by Mr. Wallis, seconded by Mr. Warren, that
a shed be erected on the ground for the accom-
modation of hon. members and visitors. Mr. Botta had
kindly offered to erect • first-rate shed, 30ft, long by
121 t. wide, at a mere nominal sum, about the oast of
material. It appeared that a abed could be erected for
something lees; but the material would be very
inferior, and it was decided to accept Mr. Bettie kind
offer. Votes of thanks to the hon, members and each
of the officers were recorded, and the tone of the meet-
ing appeared to be altogether congratulatory, the asso-
ciation being in a prosperous state. It is intended to
commence play (weather permitting) on Saturday next,
at t•o o'clock. For the amusement of visitors, quoits,
jumping bars, and other athletic "properties," will be
provided on the ground. Challenges will doubtless
soon be sent to the association, and we shall have the
pleasure of recording • match.
SHOCK'S° SIIICIDS AT LUDOATS-HILL STLTIoII. - A
shocking ease of suicide mooned at the Ludgate-hill
station of the Loudon. Chatham, and Dover Railway,
on Friday afternoon, at about • quarter after two
o'clock. It appears that about two o'clock a young man
entered one of the water-clouts at the station. Not
ovine anything of him for some time, cab inspector
Gates was prompted to look through the fanlight of
the door, and there discovered the body lying, blood
having flowed from • pistol-shot wound in the forehead.
The report of the pistol was heard by the boy in attend-
thee, who however, took no notices of it, believing it to
have proceeded from outside the dation. A revolver
was found, with the chamber discharged, lying on the
deceased's knee, and in his pocket • receipt from Menem
Reilly, gunmakerv, Oxfordetreet, made out to
Bunistesd, Esq., for the sum of £2 15a, which la sup-
posed to refer to the pistol found. The handkerchief of
deceased was marked W. B. A cigar ease, cigar
holier, two hotel bills—one from Stanley's Hotel,
Limington Sur, and the other from the Red Horse,
Stratford-on-Avon, with some other trifling mtioles,
were found on his person. On a subsequent examina-
tion by the police the following artiel.• were found. A
silver lever watch, by Frodeham, Gracechomb-street ;
, two CIO Rank of England notes, and • Crystal Palau
season ticket in the name of W. C. Bum/teed, Stodgy
Villa, Maiden. A young man named Mr. William
Charles Brimsteed, whose mother lived at Stcneley
Villa, has visited Weymouth for 'tome years put,
lodging ib Clarence Buildings. He had an impediment
in his speech and was besides very eccentric in his
habits, sometimes not rising until the evening. He
was very just and upright in all his dealing', sad also
liberal, laving on one occasion presented 120 towards
the fonds of our Literary Institution. It is feared that
this is the gentleman who has committed suicide, and,
if so, his melancholy fate will be much deplored.
