the way in which reseals are sometimes manned from

the yacht Eva, of the lele of Wowht, now lying in the
harbour, were brought up in custody charged with
being on the premise. of Captain Morant 75th
Regiment, 10 Victoria-terries. for an unlawful pur
pose. It appears that Mr. Morant, brother of the
captain, went the tonal rounds in order to me that all
was safe, when passing the kitchen door he fancied
be beard voice. and • scuffle inside. H. at once
called his brother down stairs and trying to gain
admission they found the kitchen door fastened ;
but it we. soon made to yield, to the force of
muscular power, when the two maid-servante—the
cook and housemaid were dieomfited at their being
thus disoovered. Of comes the gallant captain knew
that maidservant. would ire be up at that hour for
the mere purpose of wasting their master's gas, and
continuing the search the two salts were found behind
the pantry door. Y.:pleated in was melees, for with
a determination inflexible a. steel, the captain called
in the @entree of P.C. Stickland, who was then on
that beat, and gave the tan into custody.
The girls, Louisa Stone, who comes from Portland
and Caroline Penny, Irons Bridpoit were hnedugl
neck and crop off the prernies.—The men in defence
said they were not on the premises for an unlawful
but wore invited there by the girls. The
Bench severely reprimanded the men for their
conduct, and the girls for their unfaithfulness to their
master's intereet, and dismissed the case. The two
couples then left the court, laughing heartily m they
emerged into the street.
A CHAIIIIOI or C,ointgacs roe Wrinotrru —An
attempt ought to be made to atablith • Chamber of
Commerce for Weymouth, and from the already
moootta um of merchants, trader., and others, the
scheme would surely be sucoseeful. There cannot be
a double. to the benefit of such an emaciation to any
: commercial port. It is true that the commerce of
Weymouth is, comparatively speaking, small; but
with ample water frontage, the coistraction of come
mercial docks on • large scale would be highly
advantageous, for with limited accommodation for
shipping, commerce must necessarily be restricted;
but if Weymouth was placed in a better position in
this respect, she would be able ti stand side by vide
' with Poole or Southampton No doubt very much
could be made of the space there is at Weymouth for
shipping, and the best means of extending and
improving the Backwater is a subject which could
very profitably be discussed by the Chamber of
Commerce. The improvements whioh have been
effected in recent near, hare had tbe effect of greatly
Mc-reaming the trade with other porta, and with • oxiil
further extension end incremed railway facilities,
greater progrem in this remect might with satiefacUou
be looked forword M. But there are many functions
which • Chamber of Commerce can usually per orm
In addition to pvimoting the trade and minutes:mode,
of the town and neighbourhood. It would be in •
position to make known t the Legislature be feeling
of the community which it repreented on mercantile
affairs, an I to render valuable assistmes in the pre-
paration of legblative measures having reference to
commerce; to collect 1°4).1 stet slice; to act as • court
of arbitration in mercantile affairs; and to attain, by
combination, advantages in trade which may be
unattainable by individual enterprise. In • town of
the site and brportance ol Weymouth the chamber
ought speedily to number s hundred members, and if
It receive the recognition and support it ,bould do
from those more immediately interested in the com-
mercial prosperity of the town, there is not the
slighted reason why it should not become as great •
moues as similar chambers in other large towns, and
do • meat deal of vary useful work.
