his death he, with three other men, went to a beer-
house at Nether Stowey, where they were afterwards
joined by • man and woman. Drinking until ten
o'clock they left, Evered, Snook, Sulliven, and his wife
proceeding in one direction, and shortly afterwards
Evers(' left them. The following day the dead body of
Snook was found about GO yards from where Sullivan
had left him. A poet-mortem examination disclosed a
contusion on the left aide of the forehead, an eifiniion
of blood under the scalp, a fracture of the skull five
inches in length, and above the left ear the hone was
broken into three pieces, besides other Injuries caused
by some direct violence. The verdict of the jury was,
that the deceased died from a fracture of the skull and
other injuries, but how inflicted there was no evidence
to show.

ment purl him. The House then adjourned.

WEYMOUTH TOWN COUNCIL.

A meeting we held on Monday leak Present: The
Mayor (J. Thera, Esq.), Aldermen Ayling, Milledge,
Potheary, and Howard; sod Councillors Roberts,
Buck, Ayles, Brown, Dyer, Luce, Boonton, Vertu°,
Mason, Eliot, Commins, Betas, and B. Thomas.
A committee was appointed to take into consideration
the propriety of either letting the wharfage and harbour
dues, market-house and pier tolls, or keeping them in
hand, as at present ; and to make such alteration in the
teriff as may be thought necessary.
With reference to some pieces of land behind
Brunswick BuU.linp, the Town Clerk was directed to
oommuniciate with the occupiers of the land, AS to the
arrears of rents, and to ascertain on what terms they
would take it on lease, and to state the result to the
next meeting, to which the consideration of the matter
was adjourned.

An order wu signed for payment of £l3O to the Town
Clerk, on amount of oounsePs fees and costa paid oat of
pocket in the notion broaght by Mr. Payne against the
Corporation.
The meal of the Local Board was affixed to mortgages,
amounting to 1.1,000 on the General District Rate.

THE ABYSSINIAN CAPTIVE AT WEYMOUTH.
The Rev. H. A. Stern, late missionary in Abyssinia,
and wbo was one of those that suffered the wearisome
captivity there until their deliverand by General Napier
and the British army, under the good providence of God.
preached at St. Mary's Chetah, on Sunday last, In aid
of the London Society for Promoting Chriatanity among
the Jews. There was a good attendance, particularly in
the evening. Mr. Stern is a clergyman apparently
about the middle age, and in the prime of life, of dark
complexion and with heavy black moustache and
whiskers. He is said to be of Jewish extraction; but
the feature usually to prominent in that rise in him
approaches the straight or Grecian type. As far as his
outer appearance, he seems to have overcome the effects
of the terrible captivity, except the iron greyness of his!
hair was produeed In that awful time. A settled
melancholy might, however, be fancied in his voice, and
there was • decided pensiveness in his manner, which
scarcely rose to animation in his sermon- He speaks
almost with a guttural tone, and decidedly forign
accent, being apparently not used to articulate the w
and the tA, substituting the sound of rand, in attempt-
ing to utter them. The deep earnestned of his manner
was remarkable, and the whole impression be gave was
that of solidity rather than spir:tedneas in his appeals.
The Psalms for the evening were exceedingly
appropriate, and the attempt that has been made to cast
disereeit on the society might well have been answered
by Mr. Stern In the earliest prayer of the 6th verse of
the 69th Psalm while he was in himself a living answer
to the expectant cries of the 70th. The offertory
amounted to £l5 9s. in the morning, and for the day
to £24 9s. being within a few shilling of what was
collected for the society last year, although the weather
was BO unfavourable, and regular collodion§ are made at
the church every Sunday.

Isle of Wight, and having three female servants, also
living in the house. Shortly before 12 o'clock on the
night of the 6th of November, Mrs. Grove, being in
bed, heard the noise of some one coming down the
stairs, and she smelt tobacco smoke. Some one entered
her bedroom and jumped upon her in bed. She
screamed out and asked him what he wanted, and
begged him to spare her life. He put his hand on her
month, and then put his fingers into her mouth; she
bit them aa hard as the could, and he then removed
them and pat the sheet over her, nearly suffocating
her. It seems that her screams where heard by the
cook, who got up and lit a candle. She ran to her
mistress's room door, and there she met • man whom
she recognised es the prisoner, be having shortly before
swept the chimney. He directly knocked her down,
struck out the light, and proceeded down the stairs.
The next morning a asp. !which belonged to the Pri-
soner, was found in the bed-room, and blood and soot
wore seen on the sill of the parlour window. A brush
bad been given to the prisoner the day before, and that
was found on the sill of the parlour window, through
which an entrance had been effected, as there were
mocks of sooty feet. The things were in • state of
confusion, but nothing hed been Uhl:a. The jury
found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to be
kept in pens' servitude for five year..

and it was feared that an aceddent would happen.
Mr. Grant, a pilot, some men belonging to the rvenne
utter, and a oust guardsman, put off to her rescue;
but she shipped a heavy sea, and, though quickly the
men set to work to bale her out with luta and oaps,
and threw out the pig iron ballast, she was swamped.

captain held on to the kelson, and were pioked up. Foy
was not much hurt; but the captain was mesh
