Lon, oould meth* as much AI an Alderman, to dun
the °lei° gown for the ooeasion. The very sufficient
manner in which the " opposition" goose MU
cooked" on the Ist of November, probably afforded
no temptation to partake of a second course on the
Sib. This being an "open court" day, the public'
were admitted and assembled rather numerously.
,r, Ayling and E. Bayly, &qrs., were, also in
&windows, and tho Mayor explained to them that
in the slimes of some of the members who were
sway from illness and "other cause." it wee
Necessary to obtain the presence of Magistrate. to
witness the installation of the Mayor, and come-
quently they bad been requested to attend.
The Town Clerk having read the minutes of the
etevious meeting said that the first business of the
ley wee the appointment of a Mayor for the ensuing
year.
Mr. Anderson —Mr. Mayor, brother councillor',
end fellow burgess.. i in accordance with the in.
timation just given, I rise to move that Philip
Dodson, req., be reelected Mayor of this town and
borough for the ensuing year. (Cheers.) I bring
forward this motion with the greatest pleaeure,
since in discharging the duties of Chief Magistrate
during the past year, Mr. Dodson has, in my
judgment, afforded general satisfaction. (Applause.)
Of his tact, energy, and good spirt, in conducting
the business of this Council, you yourselves have
been witnesses. (Hear, hear.) With improvements '
pruning upon us from all sides, with the pile pier in '
process of erection, with the spirit of the age urging ,
us forward to progress and enterprise, I do not see ,
that we on adopt a better °aurae, than to invest 1
with this office, a person possessing the clear head,
business qualities, and practical knowledge, of Mr.
Dodson. (Loud cheere.) I therefore propose that
Philip Dodson, Elq, be Mayor of this town and
borough tot the year ensuing. (Applause.)
Mr. Howard, Gentlemen, with unmeathreable
satisfaction I rise to second the proposition made by
Mr. Anderson. I am certain it needs no wards
from nee to eeeommenct it to your notice, 60 I feel
confident Mr. Philip Dodson will, in eentipeing
the Mile* of mayor, display the eame equity of
conduct and demeanour Which he ham hitherto ex-
hibited in presiding over the borough. (Hear, hear.)
I will nut detain you with any 'further remarks,
beiug quite certain he Will fill that 'their, not only to
the helmet. of Wesel: and the corporation, hut also
to the credit of the whole borough of Weymouth and
Metaled* Regis. (Chant)

general meeting of the shareholders is the Eastern
'Steam Navigation Company, held at the London
Tavern, Bishopegate-street, on the 2nd bit., for the
purpose of dissolving the said oompany, to., Mr.
Alderman Rose made a highly ooniplinentary an-
knowledgment of the services and assistance ren-
dered by our respected representative t. R.
Campbell, Esq., In bringing matters to a *factory
Issue. He said that, as one of the oommi of oo-
operation, he bad wen the great exertion* gads by
the hon. gentleman to briog about an arresgement
which would relieve the company from its
ties. Be had watched the punctuality and attention
of Mr. Campbell at all the meetings, and believed
that the plan, which in his opinion was the beg that
could be proposed, was mainly owing to that rage-
man's aseidulty and ability. He should, thenfore,
move a vote of thanks to the hon. gentlemen tot his
exertions to free the oompany from its didloulties.
There appears to he greet probability of PortlAnd
Roads being selected as the home station of the
Om* Nestern, in the event of her sale to the "Gnat
ghip Company," negaciations in whioli are new
and we have little doubt that Mr. Camp.
boll, from bin great inlineuee in the mercantile world,
will be enabled to obtain so great a desideratum foe
Weymouth.

low the wit of the raw material. On Friday,
(harp A blaull itod Slietteeth, his wife, were brought
before the borough magistrates on a charge of steel.
Mg twine bum Mears. W. &muesli, and Cu.,
North Adis. The mole prisoner was in a situation
of rupousibility in the rectory, but from airoumstan.
ON which °anis under the observation of Mr.
Charles Hoare, the manager, he wee induced on
Thureilsy evening to search the primmer., end on
their persona found four or live ilia of manufactured
twine, and Afterwards on searulting their house die.
covered forty or fifty lbs. inure of-a 'manlier twine,
manufactured only by machinery, at the North NMI'.
The evidence against the prisoners was complete,
and the male one Was fully committed for trial the
female toted under the coercion of her husband, and
Wee therefore liberated. 'The most important di..
covery, however, is the receivers ;imid three persons
connected by funny ties are committed. JoriaA
Hommel!, is a man working on the railway, but keeps
a small shop in the town, whioh his wife manages.
On the diaoovery of the twine at Abbot's house the
polio. proceeded to the house of Josiah Meanest!,
and there found a quantity of twins oonoealed, but
Hr. Hoare could not identify more than six or seven
lbs. as belonging to Mears. Hounsell. The male
prisoner stated that he knew nothing about the
twine, he wee from home at work from morning till
night, and if his wife had purchased any twine it
was oantrary to his wishes, and without his know-
ledge or consent The wife of Janet' Hounsell wee
therefore oommitted to trial, and bail refused, but
the magistrates, probably, believing the story of
Hotinsell,_ liberated him on bail. nem Willia
sister to Hounsell's wife, a minor, was also charged
with receiving gooda knowing them to have been
stolen. Ann Windier proved that a quantity of twine
had been brought to her by the prisoner to be wound
into 4 winos balls. The whole of the twine was
identified by Mr. Hoare as being the property of
Hamra Houneell, and accordingly the prisoner was
oommitted for trial, but liberated on bail. There
can be little doubt that there discoveries will lead
to others, and it is earnestly to be hoped that this
abominable trail° may soon be stopped. There ere
some Mill suspected, and unless they are very cunning
will erelong be brought to condign punialunent.
