The Bench hail nude up their minds to send prisoner

matter at once.
Mr. Howard did not see matters in that light, and was
hardly likely to let omit his answer, with the possibility of

The Bench thought the case should go for trial, and

Quarter Sessions,
Mr. Howard applied that hail might be granted, and in
such reasonable sums that prisoner might be enabled to
obtain sureties,
Mr. Weston strongly opposed bail, as two descriptions
of wheat had not yet been identified. They had found the
owner of one of the bags, and had an doubt they should
trace where the corn came from. Since prisoner's com-

Produce two sureties for £l,OOO as £5O, and urged the
Bench to mitigate the sum.
The Mayor remarked it was a very serious, charge, but
the Bench ultimately consented to take two sureties of

and prisoner liberated.

The natural advantages f a pleasnre place most
not be relied on ab.ne in these times of perpetiud and
competitive improvement. Let us, and especially our
Town Council, note what another watering place on
the s eith coast is doing to attract more visitors, and
still more. I quote from a contemporary :—" It is
setting about improving itself in earnest, though,
perhaps, its natural beauties will vie with those of any
other watering place in the country. The Town
Council, and indeed all the inhabitants, have come to
feel that something more is necessary, and have
resolved to effect improvements if they can come to
terms with parties, to the extent of about £lOO,OOO.
They are now constructing a promenade along the
sea-wall, with steps therefrom on to the shore: and
the large piece of enclosed land is to be laid out with
flowers, ghruls, and otherwise ornamented with a
fountain, ke. They have ordered the constrection of
a low-water canoe lake in front of the promenade and
enclosure, which lake will also nerve for youngsters
pashlling, ãe. The greeted work in contemplation is
the removal of two large houses at the b ,ttom of the
principal street, throwing it open tt the sea, and con-
structing an esplanade from this part right along the
sea shore. The C merit have enanimonsly voted that
this is desirable, and have authorised a committee to
endeavour to make terms with the owners near. They
have further unanimously resolved to ask terms, with
the view of purchising several acres f land close to
the snore, for a park and recreation ground. The place
is rapidiy filling now, and iron the attractions offered
an excellent season is anticipated."

by the kind care of Miss Olive, and were accompanied by
Mrs. Mills, and a number of other friends. They came
by the Wiriest nine South Western train from
Dorchester, brought a tent, and abundant eatablgs with
them, and picnicked, pitching their tent on the Sands.
Here they had a capitol dinner, and ran about, enjoying
themselves vastly with the water, the sands, and the
sights. In the afternoon tea W. spread in the same
place, and the sharpened appetites caused rapist destruc-
tion of the viands. They dug and " doffed " to their
hearts' content, and no merrily spent the afternoon.
About halfpast five 'twits time to be packed up ; but
kind friends had been at work long before, and vo they

of them stylishly dressed as to cut, anti were in high

There was some talk about bringing it up again at a
regular meeting; but, as it is found that £8,500 of the

pnispects of any profit by borrowing at a lower rate
seem to have vanished. Whether animation will be

Part of the Weymouth contingent of the forces engaged
in the Holy War pissed in review through the t mt. on
Wednesday, and took the field for half a day. In front of
the Guildhall mustered the four groups of free church,
Sunday schools, who meet separately for convenience of
teaching, but who show their unity on a grand occasion
like the annual treat. The Independent school at Hope
was fetched by the band and marched across the Harbour
bridge,and into the gathering place also came the Wesleyan
three schools, and the Primitive Methodists, the Glouces-
ter-,treet Congregational School, and the double school of
the Ilaptitts. The started in the following order :-

Any more? why, there are a few hundreds on the plat-

first dims compartment is the tall gentlemanly figure of
Mr. Fox, the Mr. Fox, who gives the treat, no light matter
for one firm to treat some IMP or 1.400 people. But the
workpeople are not at all shy ; in they bolt, regardless as
to whether the head of the firm is there or not : indeed
there is such a rush that Mr. Fox abandons the compart-
ment, and takes a little turn on the platform while they
settle. No time to lose, "train just going on, any more.'
and the platform gets visibly less crowded. On cornea the
leader of the excursion, but there's no quiet place for
him, all is full, and he is obliged to settle down among his
workpeople who have tilled up his coach. Here's a good
understanding between ma-ster and workpeople evidently,
though to my fancy, the latter do make themselves at
home, almost too much for good manners. "Any more !"
and along unq the train to the end of the platform. "Oh
yes," here's that lady and her party who have waited
behind to the last, to get themselves into a first.laas.
"N. room, really. ma'am ; you most go in there, or he
left behind, you shouldn't have waited," and their selfish-
ness is rightly served out by their being hastily pushed
into a third class, only a little tighter than usual, and
where they'll have to stand up at least part of the time,
or sit in each others' laps. Anil, dear rce ! These pairs
in the next compartment do manage to find it very com-
fortable although 'tis so close. "Five a side?" Well !
man and wife are said to I. but one, so I suppose those
four coats and four tigirre costumes do cover but four
persons between the eight, for they seem to have plenty
of room. Mr. Humphreys and Mr. Collett have one more

jerked out, and off she goes, the guard of course entering
while the train is in !notion, by special dispensation, or
how about that rule! A fine sight the train is as she takes
the curve, two engines ead 26 carriages long, and the head
officials levathe again. Not for long; the ordinary "7.15"
comes up, never mind if she is a few minutes after time

Seven waggons, bearing the little ones.
The band played briskly, and they marched up St Mary-
street, down St. Thomas-street, and over the Bridge to
Mr. Knight's cricket field. Visiting them when they had
found their places, and settled clown to the afternoon's
sports, we found the large open field dotted all over with
merry groups, some deeply engaged at cricket, far away
from the dense crowd of little ones. The weather is about
as pleasant as if made for the occasion, inasmuch as, there
being no tree shade on the cricket ground, the mild
clould-shelter was agreeable until the height of the day's
heat was past, and a light breeze further cooled the
perspiring brows of the little runners, whow we saw
scampering or riding, or swinging, or bat-and-balling it.
Mr. Drayton and Mr. flociden, from Patton, faithfully
kept the gate, and so maintained, to a moderate extent,
the selectness of the party, while Sergeant Hitch and P.C.
Roper represented the force of the County against any
intruders on the happy scene.
The party to the left of us are the Methodists, who
shared with the Gloucester school, Mr. Innes's kind help
when he put up the swings. In the party, I see Mr.
Bordon (or is it Mr. Miller). very busy with the vibrating
ropes, while Mr. Rlin hastens across from the canvas
house, on preparation for feasting time intent, and the
Rev. T. Harvey gravely peramindatem in the ltrekground,
keeping a watch le-t anything be wanting. The Wesleyan
banner is that of Captain Credence, " his were the red
colours," and everybody knows that the Methodists COM.
I hive faith with their good works. They reckon their four
, schools about four hundred, and, by the density of their
groups, we reckon they are about right.
' After just a look at Wyke tower, peeping over the hill
on the scene, and Markham House, beautifully set in a
, dark frame of woods, we continue our walk round.
' The next we happen on are the Baptist schools, whose
colours are blue, and here we must take the liberty to
differ from Runyan and assign them to Captain Charity,
for if ever that gallant captain led any group of teachers,
he did the noble band who carried the holy war into
Putton, and rescued from that erst-benighted hamlet a
hundred and twenty scholars, certainly not without a
taste for sweet cake, lemonade, and peppermints,
hat well-behaved and hearty loving scholars withal.
Mr. and Mrs. Humphreys and a goodly number of fair
damsels are forward with the preperations here, while
Mr. Dennis is forced ti run special trains to and from the
drinking bar where Mr. Rogers and Mr. Issues dispense
frequent draughts of lemonade amidst loud hurrahs as the
train st sr:Di. The Baptists count themselves 300,
180 of the fashionably Incased school, and 120 brought
by those teachers who go "off to Charlestown." The
bend are making many feel so lightly in the centre of the
ground—not dancing, of cower (though why "of course"
we can't tell, except for example's sake) and the pleasures
of anticipation are enjoyed by scores of young girls, with-
out a lad among them, If we guess aright, they're
already thinking how soon they'll make up for that
deficiency, and are pleasing themselves with the thought.
Captain Gaadbope's party are visibly a happy lot. Their
anchor flags, the device of Hope Sunday School, proclaim
their leading quality. The Rev. W. Lewis, their superin-
tendent, hopes for • new and better schoolroom, that
party of fair young lady teachers seated on the wishing
carpet hope for—(never mind, we mustn't tell)—Mr.
Skinner is hoping that Mr. Harker's generous supply of
real Scotch Goodies will last out till that kindly Aspirate's
five little angels come and see the pleasure that their
father's present has given to all the small applicants, and
not a few of bigger growth ; the teachers of the first
glasses are hoping that their scholars will come into the
teacher ranks themselves; and we hope that the 30(1,
named to 1111 as the strength of the school, is a fair
estimate of the attendance.
Gloucester-street School had the white colours of
Captain Innocence, quartered by the red cross of Mr.
Suffer-long. We don t know whether they have to put
up with being a little flock by comparison with the other
three groups, or whether it was not the extra mathe-
matical exactness of their correct secretary, Mr. Stone,
that put them rather under the mark for fear of being
over when he earned a LW. They did not seem to us
materially fewer than the rest of the groups, and their
ever-running trains had heavy loads of merry youngsters.
The Rev. K Bolton genially saw all things going on right,
with the assistance of Mr. Stone, in the absence of that
very long-accustomed superintendent, Mr. R. Damon, who
directed from the duck in St. Nicholas-street, perhaps 38
years ago. The Gloucester school have • cosy corner at
, the north-west of the field, and over the hedge they can
look right away to Blagdon Hill, and, viewing Hardy's
monument, resolve themselves to be a heaven-pointing
beacon amid the moral wildernesses "off Park-street."
Shall we go round to the moderately occupied part of
the field, wiee faithful twos wander, conspicuously self-
separated from the throng! Shall we look away to the
two roads narrow-streaking Ridgeway-hill, or note how
the deeds are breaking away, and letting the golden sun-
light fall on the fashionable north of Weymouth! Tis a

Sir Frederic Johnstone, Bart., MP., does not wish
to waste horses or men. Everybody knows how in-
terested the hon. baronet is in the breed of horses, and
even those who don't sympathise a bit with Sir
Frederic's patronage of the Turf must thoroughly
approve his last munificent gift to the cabmen. One
hundred pounds is a noble sum, especially considering
the excellence of its destination. The cabmen of
Melcombe Regis have been so long exposed to all
weathers that it is a wonder they are such good-
tempered and civil fellows. When we remember how
long they have to wait for a fare, how they are
regulated, and controlled, and policed—though for
their good as well as the public's—it is really marvel.
lons that only now and then, and generally among the
new whips, ao we find a saucy fellow. Mr. Thomas's
proposition to find them a shelter does honour to the
worthy alderman's heart; and now Sir Frederic unites
in saying to the cabman—
"Fear no more the heat o' the slim
Fear no more the winter's rages."
lie is to have "respite, respite, and nepenthe" in the
form of the shelter and 'the cup that cheers, but not
inebriates."
So do they say of that cup or glue, taken at cricket
matches by the votaries of the noble game. I have
the authority of a collaborateur that "on no occasion
have cricket matches been made an excuse for people
to have a thorough 'fuddle,'" Who ever dreamt of
saying they were And now, the unkindest cut of all
is that the Church of England Temperance Society is
found to have nothing at all to do with the withholding
of the "occasional license." The regulation that
applications should be made either at Petty Sessions
or through the respected Magistrates clerk, was
caused, it seems, by a licensed victualler, who wanted
to take drinks some ten or twelve miles off into
another parish, where the stimulants said to be
necessary for cricket were already sold! M. Howard,
whom we can always trust to make the best of a case,
stuck to his point with determination,'and the result is
that everybody is satisfied. After the hot words
poured out on the County Bench, I shall certainly
expect the champions of occasional licenses to give the
I toast of "The County Magistrates" at the next
cricket luncheon, with musical honours—" For they
are all jolly good fellows." Those who venture to
think that a few cricketers can howl and bat without
brandy and beer won't delay harmony in this case,
for everybody is satisfied.

notes on a melancholy accordion, sometimes in doleful
resemblance to "Just before the battle, Mother," or
some other patriotic and manly composition ; but with
as many false notes as it is poosible to get in, and yet
preserve a dim shadow of the tune. Is it heresy that

Gentlemen who come down to Weymouth, to
repair their health by drinking milk and inhaling the
briny breezes, should avoid " occasional licenses," in
the way of little drops of malt and hops, or "some-
thing short." I heard of one f these who was so
inspired by his "occasional license" that four police-
men had to regulate his displays of agility. Perhaps
hi unusual strength shows the estra-rasdi•••l quality
of Weymouth air, and of Dorset—milk.

The Rev. J. STEPIUMON briefly wended, and the pro-
position was unanimously accepted, with gr- at cordiality.
Dr. SniTH said: Mr. Mayor, Ladies, and Gentlemen,--1
thank you all most heartily form cordially according me
this vote of thanks kindly proposed by my goal (Henri
Mr. ()reeves. I only fear in the kindness of his heart he
has said more in my prairie than I really deserve, but if
!or endeavours to relieve the sufferings if mane in this
institution continues to meet with your approval as
heretofore, I shall feel satisfied I have done my duty, in
the iliatharge of which I have been most ably and willingly
resisted by my colleague Dr. Moorhead. Ido not wish to
occupy you more than a few minutes as you all know the
origin anil hlatory of the Weymouth Sanatorium, and
have been made acquainted with its regrets from year to
year by the annual reports issued stnor it was opened in
HA It then contained only six beds, there are now 25
be& which are pretty well occupied during the summer
months. At present there are now 17 patients in the house
so that the duties of the medical office. become more
onerous during the summer than during the winter
months. One particular feature in the rules of this
itatitution is that it is open to individuals from all part+
without any reference to sect or creed provided the
sufferers are women and children, for whom alone it has
been opened as in-patients, and nothing earthly could give
me greater pleasure than to have secured by a free gift
of the Sanatorium from Sir Frederic Johnstone, Bart,
and our worthy M.P., and also to have secured an ample
endowment fund to prevent its ever becoming a shadow
of the past, but handei down to posterity a monument of
his and your liberality in establishing it on so permanent
a basis. We have indeeu much to be grateful for: we have
built this splendid mansion ails cost between tu and three
thousand pounda, we have hail it furnishes' in a great
measure by ladies who are alwaya foremost in gooil works,
and we have an endowment fund of 4.:5,1100. Providence
haa indeed blessed abundantly thole who give as well as
them that receive, for I am bold to say that not an
individual feels himself or herself one iota the poorer for
all the gifts they have bestowed on this charity. Provi-
dence has also blessed onr efforts in restoring many to
, their families in the enjoyment of that greatest of all
earthly ble,sings health—who but for this institution
must have dragged outs painful existence till death put
an end to their sufferings : nor would we exchange the
solid pleasure we have in being thus the honoured imam-
tuents in the hand of Him who over-rules all things for
good in carrying out thew measures for their restoration
—for the richest gifts this earth could bestow. But 1
muat not detain you further than to say it is my pleasing
duty to offer our sincere thanks to those who have brought
this institution to its present flourishing an.l penuanent
condition, and especially to the ladies who have this day
honououred and graced our meeting by their presence.
(Applause.)
Dr. MOORUEAD seconded the resolution, remarking the
success of this institution was mainly indebted to the
interest the ladies had taken in it* welfare, and he hoped
the success which had been characteristic of the past
would be continued for the future. (Applause.)
Mr. It. ft. ELIOT said he had very great pleasure in pro-
posing the next resolution:—" That the best thanks of
this meeting he given to Dr. Moorhead for his valuable
' services as surgeon to the Sanatorium." Mr. Eliot more
readily did this because he thought few outsiders fully
realised the extent and the very great demand which the
various hatitutions of the town made upon the time and
strength of the medical men, and althomgh these services
were gratuitously given they were none the less cheerfully
and generously accorded upon that account. Especially
was this the cam with their friend Dr. Moorhead, for
although these charitable institutions teemed to be dis-
tributes' among the medical men, each having their share,
yet • double portion Kemal to have fallen to Dr. Moor'
head'a lot Though he aerated at the hamital, they all
knew a great deal of his time WM taken up at the Sana-
torium, where he pulled the stroke oar. They were bound
to accord him a hearty vote of thanks for bix kindness in
not only giving time but abet workbag in the service of
this institution. (Applause.)

tion was heartily adopted.

ANOTHER WATCH EITOLEN.—SOIDe women visited Mr.
Stephen Dryer Conben'd. at Castletown, when there was
the great rush of ineursionbAs nn Saturday, and asked to
lie allowed to go up-stairs. Tney went, and soon after
left, and when Miss Conilien wanted, at night, to wind
her watch, which had been left in • Chinese cabinet in
the room where the women were shown, both watch and
chain were gone. Mind Comben has tried to identify the
women. Nat without succeati, nor has any trace of the
watch (a silver one) nor of the gold chain been found.
TORPEDO WORK.- A Ilampahire contemporary says
" Fitting ships with the Whiteheod torpedo ejector is
rather expensive work, and I hear that it is estimated
that it will cost nearly 1;2,1100 to supply the Warrior, our
earliest type of iron.clad, with this latest addition to the
. offensive armament of our ships. The Lord Warden will,
in all probability, be fitted with this ejecting apparatus
before long, as she is certainly a more efficient fighting
machine in other respects than the Warrior.
THE THREATENED STRIKE in London commenced on
Saturday. when the masons left work. Busines is said to
be very had in London. and there is little or no likebood
of the masters yielding to the men's demands. The
distre.ot among the poor fellows' families in London will
probably be great, and the strike has alreadly begun to
spoil a very prosperous season for one of the largest firms
in Portland. Very large orders have been countermandM,
and though perhaps only one firm or so may be affected at
first, there is no danger of this turn of the tide producing
a general affect of dulness in the stone trade.
Ittereffes MARINES.—The polies had a tussle with two
marines on Tuesday night. One of them was a wag who
hat distinguished himself on a former occasion by sitting
on the ridge of a how. at Castletown, the other fellow
had previously put a stone in • handketchief and cut P.C.
Barter's eye with it. These two had been in a working
party at the Breakwater, and bad broken away, "on the
dpree." A. warrant was sent on shore for their appre-
hension, and Sergeant Fi 'thorn. PC's Miller, Suelling,and
Barter, went to execute it. Miller and Snelling took one
fellow, who began to kick ; but they got his boots off.
Barter had • sharp tussle and was bitten in the leg, and
had a knock on the forehead from his marine, the
sergeantsfelt hirn less. The rascal resisted violently, but
the resimental band, who had just returned from playing
at the Weymouth gardens. aodisted in capturing the
rascals ; the big drummer topecially said "Come along with
nie sure," and tucked the obstreperous marine's arm
under his; but the fellow began to kick, on which the
drummer cleverly caught up one of the marine's legs a ea
Itarey, and brought him along by one leg and one arm.
We can't help noticing the unfairness of one or two of the
crowd; they did not seem to rare what the marines did to
the police : but when P.C. Miller had got his man down
and handcuffed him, they shouted "give him • chance,"
On this Miller let the man get up, when the
scoundrel immediately began kicking foully, with the
object of ruining the constable for life; on this Miller
drew his staff, and struck the fellow on the arm to
"persuade" him to be quiet, when the people shouted
"Shame.' The marines were, however, secured after
much trouble, and when searched it was found they had
g piece of hoop iron doubled up Inside the tunic. They
were taken on board next day, and it is to be hoped that
the naval authorities will not only teach them better
manners for the future, but will also send efficient
pickets on shore to arrest their violent men. "While
these fellows were attracting the whole attention of the
police." it is asked, "what guard was there for the other
parts of the islsnd r When the police took the marinas
on hoard the Warrior, John Malone struck P.C. Miller a
violent blow on the face, and P.C.'. Miller and Barter had
to hold him fast till • file of marines arrived and took the
refractory fellow into custody. Next, the constable went
to Dorchester, got a warrant for the marine's apprehen-
Rion, and next morning apprehended him isgam. On
Friday morning he was brought up before Me. H. O.
Goodden and Colonel Swaffield. It appeared that Malone,
who had • doubled up piece of iron under his tunic, had
told a petty officer that if the police came to take him, be
should have a "go- at them with the iron; be had dons
one six months, and could to another for the - s.—The
magistrates sent the violent fellow off for four months'
hard labour.
