DORCHESTER. —LeNCASIIIIM DISTRESS.—We
have it on excellent authority that a concert of
vocal and instrumental musio will be given in tins
town about Christmastime, in aid of the operatives '
of the North. From the well-known ability of the
ladies and gentlemen who are expected to give their
services, we have no doubt that a large midien
will be present. Full particulars will appear in •
future number.l
Peaoasita. or AFRICA.-011 Monday, the Bth
inst., Barker's Moving Panorama of Africa was on
view at the Townhad, and attracted a very large
number of spectator'. In the afternoon about 600
children from the various private and public schools
in the town were admitted at Lid. each, and were
highly delighted with the entertainment. When
we say that the land which the renowned Livingstone
is now exploring with a view of founding a colony
for the truproir of the slave-trade, and Gordon
Cumming! t. Mayne Reid, and other travdlere
have depicted with a masterly band, was, as it
were, made to paes before the ars of the beholder in all
its varied loveliness, we only give a feint idea of the
pleasure afforded those who were present. In the
evening the hall was densely crowded, and all
expressed themselves highly satisfied. The only
drawback, and one which we would urge the
manager to remedy, is the abeilliffie of music. Though
very successful as an exhibitiOn, if the pleasing
strains of two or three good instruments were to
acoompsny the view, we have no doubt it would be
even more popular than it is at present.

A WOMAN'S QtrA.S.DXL.—Solina Norman was on
Tuesday summoned by Eliza Poison, on the charge
of using abusive language towards her. Last week
Eliza Poises was summoned by Selina Norman for
aa assault, and this was, therefore, a retaliatory
waresseas. Complainant said that as she was going

DRUNK AND AIIIIEIVE. —John Dodge, an old
offender, was charged with being drank and
abusive, and using obscene language after leaving
the Boat public-house on Saturday night He had
collected a mob about him, and although there were
two constables present, the language and threats of
the mob was such, that the guardians of the publis

for the offence, rather than apprehend him on the

Nkw Witstavaie CaArxt. —The trustees and
committee for carrying out the erection of the new
Wesleyan Chapsl met on Friday evening, for the
purpose of opening the tendere that had been sent
in. There were in all five tendentaa follows t—Mr.
S. Brown, Weymouth, chapel, exclusive of turret,
£3294, turret £330, total £3624. Mr. Thomas
Deelipen, Weymouth, chapel, exclusive of tunet,
£2400, turret £320, total £3720; Mr. G. Seamen,
Weymouth, chapel, exclusive of turret £3600. turret
£3BO, total £3980; Mears. Davis and Son, Froome,
chapel without turret £3500, turret £4OO, total
£390fl •' Mears. Rogers and Booth, Gosport, chapel
without turret, £3520, turret £5015, total L*4025.
NT. S. Brown's tender, it will be seen, was nearly
£lOO lower than the next lowest tender, and £4OO
lower than the highest. It was consequently unani-
mously resolved that the tender of Mr. Brown should
be accepted. This gentleman will, therefore,
daring the ensuing summer, be engaged in the erec-
tion of two of the handsomest structures for religious
worship in Weymouth.
Ducks versus HORSES. —At the sale at Patton
arm, East Chiekerell, laat week, four live ducks
were disposed of by public auction for more money
than two live horses. The four ducks fetched £l,
the two horses only Ifis.
LANCASHIRE DISMISS. —We understand that the
whole of the Weymouth police force have entered
their names as subscribers towards the relief fund
tor mitigating the sufferings of the Lancsishirs
cotton workers. Superintendent Lidbury sabenribes
fsL per week, and the whole of the men subsßritie
2d. each per week. The beet advice we can give to
ether police forces is, to "go thou and do likewise."
Tun Flerr.—We learn that there is every proba-
bility of the western division of the channel fleet
wintering in our Roadstead--one of the ships
having arrived. We trust such will prove correct,
as it wiil be a great boon to trade in the town.
A Rifle Club in connection with the rifle corps
has lately been formed, the members paying a mall
sum weekly, which is shot for at the expiration of a
certain time. The first competition of this club will
take place in a few days, on the Chesil Beach, at
200, 400, and GOO yards range, five rounds at each
-range. The financial position of the club is very
astisfastory.
CONCERT. —On Tuesday evening last the members
of the Manchester Unity of Oddfellows residing in
the town, gave a coscert at the Victoria Hotel
Assembly Rooms, in behalf of their suffering
brethren among distressed operatives in Lancashire.
The programme contained many favourites the
most popular songs, glees, trios, &c., of the present
day, which were generally well sustained. The
room was not so well filled as we could have wished,
considering that the proeeeds were to be devoted to
no charitable a purpose. The weather, however
was exceedingly unfavourable, which no doubt
