A MINSING BOY FOUND DBOWNID. —An inquest wan
lick! on Monday, at the Hope and Anchor Inn, St.
Michael'alane, before N. M. Leggin, Esq., coroner, on
the body of • boy named Huasey, who was missed the
previous Wednesday. Henry Hussey, Ron of John
Hussey, of Bridport, labourer, said that last Wednesday
about half-past ODO o'clock he was with the deoeased
Frederick Hussey, who was his brother, opposite Mr.
Strone's, just on the Bridport aide of the bridge going
to Allington. He wee in the road and had some kidney
hems in his hand, and asked him if he could play
marbles with them; he told hint no, be then jumped up
on the rails by the road, and threw the beans into the
river. He himself left to go home to dinner, and told
him to come or he would fall in, he bad been in twice
before. Witness was just over eight years of age.—
Elizabeth Hussey, wife of John Hussey, said on Wed-
nesd•y, the deceased, her son, was at home and bad his
dinner as usual, and about half-past one he went out
.eted she never saw him afterwards. She did not nods
till she found he had not been to sehool.—John
nasey said on Wednesday he mine home to dinner
ut one o'clock •nd found deceased there, be had his
dinner as usual. His eon Henry told them he lied seen
dimmed on the rails ; he had searched the river ever
liken, and yesterday morning between nine and ten he,
with Henry Williams, found the deceased in the river
under Henry Williams' garden, between Mr. Edwards'
warehouse and Mr. Rood's booking-house. The body
• bad the clothes on and was not bruised. The deceased •
was six years and two months Old. Verdict "Accidental
death."
Tang rats GALL—TiIe disastrous storm of last
week culminated on Saturday in a gale of great fury,
which did immense damage to the shipping around
our coasts. At high tide here the sea was impelled
by the foroe of the storm far out of its ordinary
channel, while the violence of the gale rendered
locomotion or even standing erect • thing of OM-
siderable difficulty in the neighbourhood of the coast.
The great highway of the sea as far as the eye could
reach was deserted —not a sail appeared on the
horizon. Many ships have taken shelter in the
harbours and roadsteads, and others have ureferred
the comparative safety of the open sea. The Why
Not of this port, sought refuge in Portland Roads on
Saturday. A French vessel laden with barley and
bound for this' port, was obliged to unship at Wey-
month. A great deal of the wreck of the Emmanuel
was washed down from Portland, and picked up on
our beach on Saturday, together with part of her
cargo—loge of foreign oak. The name bawd of this '
vessel was picked up here. A punt in excellent
condition named the Henrietta, from Teigumouth,
drifted ashore about 100 yards to the eastward of
Eype mouth on Saturday, and no doubt her °wrier
'has been communicated with. The mouth of tits
harbour has been nearly choked up by the succemive
storms. At low water there is apparent a bar of
mod across the mouth; but, it will doubtless, be I
soon washed away again. These storms, as may be I
expected, did some danger ashore, especially to
Aimee," pots and pan-tiles. The chimney stack of
Mr. Fosa's house at the Harbour was cad down on I
Saturday, and speedily afterwards, one of those on
Mr. W. Swain's house fell with a great crash, and I
some of the debria penetrated through the roof into
one of the rooms. Roofs have been partially on:*
covered in all direetions, both in the town and it
the Harbour, and dnring the last day or two, the
masons and the slaters have had a fine harvest of '
oocnpation in repairing the damage done, so true is
it that "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good."
We heard a story the other day in reference to the
wreck of the Black Diamond, which by the way was
bought principally by Mr. E. Cox, shipbuilder, and
Mr. T. Templer:Dan, merchant, that shows the effect
in some localities of the importation of foreign corn.
The Black Diamond, laden with oats, was wrecked,
and the "Try Again" Wen with barley, ran into
port sa(e!" just before.. Bat aril hippy escape has
proamd auseekobs to Mei-fan:nett; (Though what in
not bad for the poor fernier, I should like to know.)

BosotmEt Pomo; Monday.—Before F. Good, Esq.—
David Shorto, . sawyer, living in the parish of Symonds-
bury, wig charged with being drunk and incapablein
the Heehaw Road, on Saturday night. It seems that
the man had bean at work throughout the day. hauling
op from the besets portions of the French vessel
Demential (which went ashore at Portland) that bee '!
washed down to the westward, and been oast up at the I
harbour. During this employment, he indulged, too .
freely in liquor, and, when he returned homewards, he
was 'merry as a sand boy." But as he neared, the
Own, the narcotic influence of the beer began to easel*
its power, and at length he was rain to lay himself doam
by the roulade, where he slept on, and reeked not we
the pitiless blast, or the pouring rain. A Samaritan.(?)
by, and, being unable to "make anything of
risns,reported the hut to the police. In the execration
' of his duty, P.C. Feltham went to the spot, found him
in the words of the statute "drunk and incapable,"
procured a wheelbarrow, and hailed him to prison and.
to judgment. He was fined Is. and the coats 75., or in
default seven days' imprisonment. He paid the money.
BOROUGH PYTTY SESSIONS, Tuesday.—Before the
Mayor (T. Colby, Esq.), and J. WilliaraP, Esq.—
Jahoes Hockey, landlord of the San Inn West-street,

for the sale of beer, on Sunday, Nov. 19,

leniently with the case, and fined tbe deign-
-28. 6d- cod oasts Bs. 6c1., which gum was paid.
""ailand, landlady-of tie Hare and Hounde,

offence on the same afternoon.—P.C. Hopkins

morning, as many sometimes as twenty in an

or more of these ways then, moss may do something for
the Working Men's Institute; let them do it, and earn
the kind feelings of those therbenefit, and the approval
otthtir hen oongoiencei.
In connection with the Institute is the " Penny,
Bank," established in May, 1861.. Deposits of on,a
penny and upwards are recivret on Monday evenings ;up
to the close of fast year 20,985 deposits had been madel,i-
sunountiag to £631 Bs. 61. The benefits of this bank are
also very great, affording, as it does, "a place of safety
for small savings" The affairs of this Institute are
managed bia Committee and an Honorary Secretary.
On the committee I am glad to find there are men of
all opinions, religious and political. A man who would
merit the respect of his neighbours must decline to join
in some things. I should despise an Independent who,
under ordinary circutnstanoes, co-operated with Church.
men for an extension of the Episcopate, just as 's'
Churchman would deserve to be breaded as a oontemp-
tib e traitor who would join the Society for the Libera-
tion of Religion from State Patronage and Control. But
in ouch an institution as this &limey work together, and
I ant glad to see they do well and cordially. But the
work done by the eommittee collectively is utterly In.
significant when compared with that performed by Ye'
J. Owens, the honorary secretary. This gentlemsua
labours are unceasing and arduous. No man in Bride.
port, I ern well assured, deserves better than hettip
honourable title of the "Working Man's Friend," ner
one is doing more valuable, and, which often happens, a
less obtrusive work. Long may he live in Bridport,
and long may she Working Men's Institute and the
Penny Bank have his valuable services. And now, Sirs,
I mu-t conclude, and with this small contribution to the
Institute I subscribe myself their and your obedient
servant, T. T.
