No doubt the evening concert was the niers popularly

A Sous cm TR! W•TZIL —On Tuesday morning,
about three a.m., there was a nice little scene at the
month of Weymouth Harbour. The Vulture, a
magnificent vessel which has just been added to the
station by the Great Western Railway Company for
their Cherbourg traffic, was leaving the Weymouth
harbour about the time stated, when, owing to the
lowness of the tide, she was caught on the bar, and
could not proceed. The Aquila also could not pew,
nor could the Booth of Ireland or the Brighton enter
the harbour for the earns reason. The four vessels for
a while appeared to be on a heap. It was a most
ludicrous sight to those who were up at that time of
the morning watching events.
