In conclusion Mr. Welsferd returned thanks, amid load
cheers.

calls for Mr. Luce. That gentleman did not appear.

Mr. Commie said he must address himself to the
ladies and gentlemen of Weymouth and Meleombe Regis;
he had had the honour of appearing before them on
several omissions, and they had on each occasion done
him the honour Of returning Min as one Of the represen-
tatives of the borough, and lie thought this showed they
considered he had done all he ought to have done. Mr.
weisiora had 'alluded to the outlay in the town ; but
that outlay was to be paid off in 30 years. He reminded
Mr. Weleford that he was the mute of a lose to the
Corporation of f:35 for the iron railings. The Corpora-
tion had their hands in the ratepayers' pockets, sod it
was the duty of every member to see the money was
made proper use or. Ho (Mr. Commie.) was the one
who brought forward a monoa that the accounts should
be produced every ail months, and stuck up on the
doors of the churches soil chapels, that •U might bow
about them. He challenged Mr. Welaford on the other
band to airy if he always acted on like principle., and
whether he did not put the °email to a great expense
and anxiety in lulling in Klsoo, to ray which the
Corporation were obliged to .ell Property. (Vole.:

candidates who had fought with or Limiest him; but he
wished to ad( one question whether, because • men
holds an official position in this town,. he is not to
have the same right of holding an °Dimon as another
man, and whether it was necessary when any
one of their fellow•townsmen had filled with
honour to himself and credit to the town the highest
offioe in the borough far three rears, whether this was
a fitting occasion to deals he-blow at him because he
had exercised the same privilege that Mr. Weleford
claimed for himself —(hear, bear)—the right of a free
thank the burgesses for ("tiug,r !")- for the renewed
opinion. Beyond that lie brl nothing to do but to
eoufidence they had placed in hirn, and to answer one
question of Mr. Welsford's—wnere was he (Mr. Betts)
two years ago? Ile wes then a one•year's councillor of
their choice, and if he (Mr. We'sforil) had not twen a
eery untried mut, he °mild have remembered it as
well. (Cries Of "That', a bit !" and laughter). He was
not golng to detain them any longer, except to thank
them very cordially for the support they had given him,
and he hoped at the end of the next three yew", he
would meet with a similar reception again—(applause).
Mr. A TI./nßunt then rose with some notes in his
hands' sod asked to thank in the first place the ladies
who had polled for him. Ile stood before them as •
defeated candidate. (Cries of " Never mind that,"
" better next time.)" It was the first time that ever
he had tried to enter the Cleanl chamber, but he told
thorn honestly and fearlessly that it bad not been for
party purposes; it was solely as an independent
man to benefit the town. (Cry of: "Which
nobody believes.") He had a lame stake in
the town, and he bad to thank not only the town,
but the county at large, nail England throughout, where
he had sent goods. He was grateful for the position in
which he had been placed as • tradesman, and he
housefly confessed that twoehirds of his trade be could
take to Bath— (cries of 'Oh don't do that " Don't
ruin us I") He was not a party soon; he had always
been opposed to that—it was men, and not party that
they ought to support. These were his principles, and
on these he had come out—(a voice: Supposing you
took the principle, to Barb !) He was Conservative
and had always been so, and he would say this to the
Liberals—be was not a men who would stand in the
way of progress—ho looked at the poor man, and ad-
mired him, having bsen a poor man himself, lie had
worked himself from that position to where he was,

sohss our and over again to 0000 out, and had
refused, but this time le had come out unsolicited, for

uproar, in the midst of which Mr. Aylesbury appealed
to some of the buraeues in the hall. as to whether he
bad coerced any of them.) He tried to get the best

aroused among some of the sporting characters on the

six and • quarter miles, and this was to be walked four
timrs out and the same number back. The first doable
journey was accomplished by a quarter past 10, and the

the crowd gathering thickly around the inn, to get a

limbs and fill the hungry stomach of the man, who
seemed able to eat as well sa walk, and at a quarter to

drew near, the bottom of llaryistrost, Bt. Edmund.

fumy knots of the "lover, of p?dostrisnitirs" were seen
busily discussing the moult. 'Do you think he'll do
it" was the question of the hour, and for the time it
would seem as if the fate of Weymouth trembled In the
balsams, and was to be decided by Richards coming back
or no before the clock struck. Mary-Mimi was lined
on both sides as far up as Mr. Lundie's corner by I
hundreds on the look-out for the "coming man." Just I

swirlingly 'as fresh as a daisy," in the middle of the
road, with a double line of boys and men running on

hour of eight, and the crowd raised several cheers,
apparently much relieved that their favourite had won.

showed he was more practical than to desire only •

SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF FOUR LIVES.
On Tuesdaay monk', Mr. Berrett, ont.door offieer of
H.M. Customs, was on the Nethe at Weymouth,
surveying the bay with a telescope. He noticed a
strange object in the direction of St. Alban's bud, and
examining narrowly, came to the conclusion that it was
the timid a sunken used about five mike distant.
Not being certain exactly about it, he ran down to Re
watch house for others and • short inspection coovineed
them that it was indeed all that could he seen of s
vessel which appeared to have sunk in about 11 fathoms
of water, and bee topmast heads only remained above
the Rufus. Mr. Winter, custom.house officer, tome.
diately called together a STOW for the castom-bouse
boat, and the following officers got in—Mears. Walter
Ferry, oox., B. Plunkett, F.J.R.Cbartee, and C. Vinci,
with Thomas Dobbina, a waterman. The boat hada pull
of about three quarters of an hour to the wreck, where
they found two men lulled to the main topmest-heed
of • sunken sehooaer. One of them had climbed to the
vane at the masthead and fastened it to him, and the
slender apse and another was Mao partially supported
by a small stick. The two poor fellows, who were
evidently sinking from fulsome', were got into the boat,
and taken towards Weymouth, and in a few minutes the
Commodore steam-tug COMO up. took the Custom-bottle
boat in tow, and towed her to Weymouth Harbour.
Every assistance possible was rendered to the men from
the Commodore, and Captain Mace liberally supplied
I them with whiskey and other necessaries. They were
both in an exhausted state; but they were able to say
I that they had bees on the top-mast.bead ever sines ten
I o'clock last (Mondsyl night. Their unsullied foundered
I where her masts were seen, and before they had time to
shove off the boat, the suction of the sinking vessel drew
her down, and she was caoght under the mainstay,
capsized. and swamped with lour other men. The cap.
tale was in the hose and he struek out and swam for
about ten minutes; but was dragged under and
drowned. The men who were saved seized part of the
rigging, and climbed rapidly as the vessel sank beneath
them, to the top-mast-head. They were too much ex
-
hemmed to tell more, and when they arrived were taken
to the Custonehones, where further restoratives were
used. Medical aid was sent for, and Dr. Nathan came
at once from the Town-hall, where the proceedings in
connection with the declaration of the poll were going
on, and Mr. W. C. Damon, bon. agent of the Ship-
wrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Society, also arrived,
and had the poor fellows removed to the Globe Inn,
where the efforts for their recovery were so successful
that in about three hours they were able ei make
depositions before R. O. Cheeseman. Esq., Receiver of
Wreck, from which we learn that the names of the two
men saved are Dirt: G.etols Ration, mate, and .1.,n

and capsized her. The muter and themulves got hold
of the rigging. The muter dropped off in about an

Mr. WILSPORD had great pleasure in seeonding the
vote of thanks. He felt indebted to Mr. Potherery.
He had discharged his duties in • must impartial
manner, with considerable labour, and to the entire
satisfaction of everybody ooncerned in the election—
(Amino). He also returned thanks to the assessors for
the assistance they had rendered. They had performed
their archon,' duties to the satisfaction of every one.
Mr. ATLIBBUIII attempted to "end the "t° of
thanks to the Assessors, and Mr. Cogulliti also row

fr;r the same purpose.
Mr. CHARLES remarked that Mr. Aylesbury had prire
posed the vote of thmks, and now wanted to second it,
to which Mr. Aylesbury replied by • contemptuous

velure.
Mr. POTUICkILY thanked them for the honour they
had done him. A greater honour could not be paid to
.public ceder than a universal eatinfaction with the
way in ',blob he had discharged his slaty. He stood
before them conscientiously, se having discharged that
duty honestly, and the stammers could bear him out in
the remerk that the duty was not • very light one.
They had aided him to 'tarry out this matter, and no
very trifling one it was, bemuse 600 or 700 voters polled,
and it occupied considerable time to arrive at a correct
result. That being tho care. a greater honour could not
be paid to • citizen by his fsllow-ortisens than the
complimeut they had paid him. They had heard •
great deal about the ladies, and he did not
think it would be out of place to make a
remark with respect to their polling. They hail
seen the delightful creatures brought to the poll in all
their beauty, some of them in the prime of life, some
still spinsters, and others widows, and one or the other
they must be, or the Legislature would uot give them
votes. If they got husbands they could not have votes, and
he imagiced it wag the intection of the Legislature by
'giving them votes, to give them opportunities of getting
husbands--(laughter). One thing struck him, the
youth and beauty of that portion of the feminine sex
polled for the single gentlemen. They had two single
gentlemen returned as couniellors, and he hoped this
observation would not be hot upou thorn, inasmech as
he feared before neet November came, they would not
have the opportunity of publicly menhir with the
voting paper as they would be driveu with the rest of
the voters, to the extreme of the ballot. The observa-
tions he had made seemed to affect his friend Mr.
W. Idord—(laughter). With respect to the little bit of
personal mutter which had fallen by way of flattery or
sarcasm from Mr. Aylesbury, no doubt they
might have got a men higher in the estima-
tion of the public, and his brother townsman, a man
of position ; but at the SIIIII) time he (Mr. Potheeary)
submitted his conduct since he had been in Weymouth,
t,,theuialL The barges... had returned him to the Co u c.I
for many years, and tho Commit had done him the
eourtesy to make him an Alderman. He did not greatly
covet that distinction, but if there was another man
more entitled to the honour, let him go to tie town
and be returned as a councillor, and give the council
the opportunity of giving him their votes. If there was
anything meant to he sarcastic in the sharks of Ayles-
bury—(Mr. Aylesbury : No, nothing of the sort)—if
he flattered him (Mr. Pothecary) upon his appeaunee.
and his face wee an index of his mind, he hoped
he had more joy in his face than Mr. Aylesbury hail
frowes—(laughter.) He handed the matter over to
their universal consideration, but he lit not think they
would pick much out of it. He did not boast to be
better than others, but he thought he was as good as
here and there one -(cheers.) He must congratulate
them upon the peaceable orderly manner in which this
election had been earnest out, and he congratulated the
candidates, both those in, and those who remained out.
On future °cession., whether they would have the
ballot or open court, for voting, he did not know, but
he hoped every future content would be fought as good
temperedly as this one—(lead and repeated cheers.)

Toe WATII SUPPLT 0' THU HILL. —ID
order to further the ventilation of this important
subject. we are glad to publish some ideas and Lie a
received from a friend of the proposed water supply
scheme, end shall be glad to open our oolumns for
further discussion of the matter by gentlemen of
opinions either favourable or otherwise. It will be re-
membered that the Local Hoard first proposed to put a
tank at the top of Mesita, and and another by the
church for the supply of Easton, Ac. This win oust-
derod too expensive, and the Board abandoned the idea
f potting a tank at Straits, and instead of that, thought
of putting one at the eburch only, from which Weston
could be 'applied by piped be gravitation only. This
tank was to be filled by an engine and force pomp at
Church Hope. It is urged that Easton is already sup-
plied by pumps, but if it were ever found necessary the
tank at Straits could be added afterwards. At the village
of Wakehare there is no supply of water nearer than
Easton pumps or Church Hope, and the poor people
have to fetch it a very long way. Ihere to, however,
• sten of £2OO in the hands of the Enclosure Com-
utimionern remaining over from the gum received for
the purchase of the Common by the Government.
This V2OO can only be applied to the purpose of
waterworks, awl the Enelosere Commissioners have
offered the Board that, as soon am they get • eompetent
man to Gratify that the sum has been upended for
waterworks, it shall be paid over to the parish
authorities. The Local Board, therefore, metalled
Mr. Andrew., who proposed to pump the water up
from Church Hope by • four-horse power engine, and
supply it to the tank proposed to be constructed near
the church; then to have stand pipes every two or
, three hundred yards, from which the water could be
, draws by the people now so badly off. Mr. Andrews
estimated the coat at not more than £l,OOO, and our
informant says he meld keep the matter in working
order for less than £lOO • year. The engine, he says,
would not be required to work more than once or
twice a week, perhaps not at all, in the
winter. It is true that the water at Church
Hope bee not been very good, it is said, since the
Prison authorities made certain alterations there; but
this is thought to arise from the salt water
percolating through the bead) towards the spring. This
it is proposed to remedy by carryings shaft twenty feet
or so to the beck of the present well, when the water
may he expected to be found pure from any brackish
Mint. Certainly the want of pure water, or • short
'apply of what people have, is a most distressing thing,
and if Her Majesty's Great Trustees will aid the board
with 1:50 or so,the expense will not be so gratt,aftur

OFLEEWOMAN SUING FOR A BREACH
OF PROMISE.
I. the Nisi Prins Court, at London, on Wedneedll7.
before Yr. Boron Martin and • nommen jury, the cone
of " Payne o. Smith" was tried.
The plaintiff, a woman 55 years of age, who had
been a general charwomen, sued the defendant, au
old man 77 years of nee, who formerly was a black-
smith end now farmed sixteen acres of land, for breach
of hie promise to merry her. The plaintiff and defen-
dant Iced been acqueinted for many years, and, an the
plaintiff swore, the defendant nineteen years ago asked
her if she would hay., him, and she told him she would.
and the rout= for the oerentooy not being performed
at once arose from the defendant declaring that he
could not marry till his brother and his brother's wile
were dead. num time to thee the defendant made the
plaintiff presents el autus of money, and occamonally
gave line • fowl or some eggs. Years passed on, and at
beat the plaintiff, who had been out of • situation for
the last fiturtoen years, living with bet mother, asked
the defendant why he did nut fulfil his promise. The
defendant replied that he wee too old to be married.
and, beside., he had gut • housekeeper who traded him
very well, and did not wish to Mange. A sister of
the plaintiff was called to prove that she heard the
defendant promise to marry her sister; and • Mrs.
Dickinson steteil Diet she was acinainted with the
Plaintiff and ber friends. and had herself gone down to
her house at Hemel Hempstead and pervert him with
the writ in the notion. Upon eroes.examination, this
witness admitted that an attorney's clerk, named
Handley, occupied one of her parlours, end thet
practised in the name of Mr. Graham, whose name was
on the writ, bat whose name, Mr. Pork ant Robinson
stated, could sot he found in the "Law List." The
defendant, who bad his left arm supported in a sling
and his hand covered hi wash-10.am,, eves helped into
the witnees-boz and seemed to be suffering torture from
gout, denied that he had ever premised to merry the
Plaintiff, and said that the presents lie had made were
given out of eomideration for her position, as she
worked bard and was Vtry poor. Other witnesses were
called on the defendant's side, and all they proved was
thst the defendant wee comfortably off, has farm being
I.is own, and that he had besides i. 2,000 in money.

heron had summed up the juicy found for the plaintiff

BrATUTI Faints—The hiring fairs for servants still
continue to maintain a prominent place ennually in tha
rural districts. Owing to the praiseworthy exertions of

of We, who have encouraged the establishment of
register °Maar—coupled, it mast be ridded, with inertias.
mg selferetipect, more especially on the part of female
domestics—the statem of hiring servants at • fair is
decidelly on the decrease. Still, it exists in full foroe
in vortain districts, and cannot be too strongly con-
demned. We bare no hesitation in asserting tiara the
present system of hiring servants at fairs is fraught with
serious evils, and often leads to the lILIA of tbe

cheractera of simple-minded country boys and girls. It
tends, moreover, to shorten the duration of service.
It is satisfactory to find that servants themselves are in
many instances becoming aware of the advantage of
applying for themselees at • respectable register office.
The old system, however, haa taken deep root in the
country, and will require resolute and persevering efforts
to eradicate it. This can only be dons by all parties
interested agreeing to discountenance the objectionable
custom of hiring in the market place. This isa matter
which moderns the employers of labour in the rural
districts. The country gentlemen, the clergyman, the
farmer, and the shopkeeper are all interested in the
welfare of those who earn a livelihood by the receipt of
wages. The extension of edueation among the children
of the laboormg poor, the regulation of agricultural
gangs and of the hours of work, must to a cert..
extent, be neutraliaed by • system of engaging servants
that exposes tbem to temptations which many of them
aro onabM to resist, and the consequences of which are
felt by them as long as they live. The relations between
master. and servants can never be of • very cordial iir
p tinanent nature if the latter make • point of leaving
their situations at the end of eveiy twelve months.

Coital AVIRAGE/4.—A comma meeting of the Chamber
of Agriculture was held on Tuesday, at which a serve of
reeolutious were passed, to the effect that the cern

sold otherwise then by weight ; and that the veiled id
1001 b. should be the standard. The variety of weights
and measures still in use in corn and other markets is
remarkable. For example, an imperial bushel of good
wheat will weigh 63. b., barley, 561 b. At Melton, how-

from one of the Pilgrim Fathers who left our shores in
1620, to plant the standard of the English Puritan* on
Plymouth Rock, and found the mother State of North
America. He was born on the 18th of February, 1795,
at Danvers, Masmcbussetts. In 1837 he earne to
England, and in 1843 established himself in London as
• weroliant and money broker. He devoted £25,000 to

town ; and be subscribed upwards of £100,01.10 for the
purposes of edocation in Maryland. He retired from

BROALtiIEAD'S FAREWELL.
Attired in a fanlike' dress suit, and wearing black ,

mitted atrocities which richly merited the steroest
punishment, the authorities very properly doubted his •
fitness to carry on a perilous trade, and refused to grant .
him a licence. Such was also the prietaure put upon

REVOLTING SCENE IN A CHURCHYARD.
An extraordinary notation of a grave has been
perpetrated in the burial ground of the parish church
of St. Andrew's near Dina, Pours. On Thursday a Mr.
Thomas James, • suicide, was buried in • grave beside
that in which his wife was placed seven or eight mouths
ago. The son attended the funeral, and after the ,
interment requested the sexton to leave his father's I
grave open, as he desired to have some alteration made.
On Friday afternoon the eon attended with two men
from Cardiff. With their sesiatence he opeod his
mother's grave and raised the coffin to the surface. He
placed it across the open grave of his father. He then
proceeded to unscrew the oofflo, and removed the lid.
'Dien was a considerable quantity of water in the
coffin, which James. without much corioern, baled out
with his blinds. Him two assistants do not appear to
have interfered in any way. The water having baled
out, the lid was screwed down, and the coffin was then
covered with two sacks.. It was allowed to rest in the
position in which it was for the remainder of the after.
noon and throughout the whole of Friday night. On
Seto',lay, the eoldln was restored to the place from
which it had been taken, and the two graves were tilled
in by the sexton. A warrant has been issued hy the
county magistrates for the apprehension of James.
James has stated as his reason for doing what he did,
that he merely wished to satisfy himself whether the
--e admitted water.
