Lozenges greatly assist in removing the oppression and
difficulty of breething attendant upon Asthmatic and
Consumptive Complaints, and by inducting gentle
expectoration, relieve and cure all kinds of Winter
Coughs and effecitione of the Meet and Lunp. In
resent Coughs is well u those of a more obetinate
character, in that distressing irritation of the throat
which so generally &companies Influensa and
Bronchitis, they can be confidently recommended as
safe and speedy in their effect, and from their oper-
ating most beneficially by strengthening the mamma
membrane and consequently promoting free respiration,
tLey allay that Constitutional Nervous Irritability so
universally prevalent during the Winter Beeson. In
Night Coughs their effect is often wonderful, one or
two taken at bed-time ensuring rest when most other
remedies have proved valueless. Being made from the
Prescription of an eminent Physician, they are without
heriatatlon offered as an efficacious remedy for all
classes.

duly considered by the Council, sod It was thought these
bow ought to have this privilege, because they furnish the
exam of ingress and egress for the visitors. If the Council
embarrassed them by making them pay la ad. each time they
left the port, it would often prevent them going out at all,
because they often went out without taking in. fkL for
passengers. What woukl the Council get additional if they
charged this In I. 7 They would not get ono farthing more,
and many times the boats would cease to go out of the harbour.
No ',croon would suppose that when the Act was made by
which these does were levied, there would be such a passenger
trade between Weymouth and Portland, therefore the itupoei•
lion of Is. ed. each time would be very unfair.
Mr Tikous said he did not wish to embarrass the Portland
Steamer Company, and it was in the CPAS of such little stunners
as Mr. Vertue's tnat he conskierai injustice was done.
Mr. WELBrUiLD said the Portland steamers had been an on.
told, and if he might coin • word, an untenable good to the
place, and antaidering the 0011YelileOCB the. were, the Council
ought to btrutal a point In their favour as tar as they possibly
wuld.
Mr. ATLEMBURT would ho eery sorry to see the Portland
Mesmer' crippled.
The Duerr MAYOR said Capt. Cowrie offered Mr. Vertne to
allow him to go as often as ho lilted for As. a week. la GIL •
day as often as he
Mr. Itoems said thaw boats only during three months began
to pay themselves. Supposing that during those three
months, all opposition was given them, then it would wine to
this—that one or the other mum leave Weyinouth. To put •
heavy charge on them would be to cripple them.
Mr. ATLIBISTRY said that was not the question. It was—
What should be done as to other Manners that came to
Weymouth.
Dr. Simrsox said there was only 04 9s. 10d. in hand, and
000 to pay—" so that," said the Deputy Mayor "you must
be eery careful SI 'ushering the ducat"
Mr. lime's' said there might be. mosquito fleet come down
during the mason, and serious Injury done to the Portland

THE CORN TRADE.

If it were not for the farmers who are mostly abort
of stock, and firm holders throughout the country, the
corn trade at this mow ut would bete a very discourag-
ing state, judging from the course of markets at the
great ports acid centres both at home and on the Con-
tinent. Faris is as dull as London, Marseilles, like
Liverpool, is luaoilve, and the great maelstroms off
*mat, the ports of twill which attract cargos' from all
parts of the world, are, Weide being dull, cheaper to
the Extent of is. to 2a. for Wheat and Mafia, indeed
the decline is not saaliy fixed, as buyers refuse to make
offers, in view of the numerous large grain.laden
veered' on passage, and which for the next three
months promise, from the dates of their bills of laditg,
to arrive in stiocesaion, or in batches, according as the
weather asriate them. Midst this current of feeling the
country markets act as obstacles, and stem the down-
ward tendi-uoy. The week's Imports of Wheat and
Flour, 282,000 qrs., Is a liberal bulk; however, from
Inquiry amouget granary keepers and others, the
imports appear to be regularly absorbed for consumption,
and so do not accumulate anywhere. Amongst resent
import" has to be noted wheat from Japan, which looks
as if grown from American seed, from which it is
rather degenerated. The "oat of freight is estimated
about 80e. per ton. The provincial markets bays beau
generally dull, with • decline in the value of wheat sad
maize. The imperial average prices of English eon for
Lb. present year bias follows :

owing to dm rough weather, there was quite /10141011$

demi in priors, but descriptions selling at 00s. and

tained, while inferior sampled sold at 755. per cwt.
There was also a short supply of sheep, with a dull
doggish trade, but prioes kept up, best wethers reale-
ing 41. and 10d. per lb., the latter, however, being an
outside figure exoept for anything ehoiee In the wool.
Owing to the non-arrival of the steamer from Ireland,
the only store cattle on offer were two or three hundred
left over from lest week, and dealers preferred welting
the arrival of the Irish oonsignment So-morrow, when
900 head of store cattle are expected, together with
1,200 pigs, 600 sheep, and some fat beasts. A second
warket Is to be held this week for the disposal of this
stook, should the animals arrive on Friday. Under
these circumstance nothing was done In the pig trade,
but in anticipation of the arrivals we have mauled,' few
orders have been taken at an advance, Hs. 91. per

Port this this and similar gatherings by his presence, Arad
always gave them a kind word of wisdom and advice--
(drunk most cordially).
Son,: I.y Mr. S. samways : "Poor Old Jeff."
Mr. VERNON responded. He thanked them Very much
for bl) cordially rereivitg the toast so kindly prOprehed
Ilk friend, Dr. Aldridge. These otheringa, he consid
did much good, and, aA hail been remarked, they tender
to rub a little of the rust off. end the oftener they could
meet together the better. Ile hoped to be spared for some
years to attend; but a0:110 of them could not expect to
meet merry more years: oil friends had passed away, and
before another Court Leet seine of them might have gone
also. But he trusted that if spared those now present
would all meet arain—(llear, hear). In conclumon. he
proposed "The °dicers of the Court beet," coupled with
the names of Mr. J. It, Taylor. Mr. Barrett, Mr. Short°.
and Mr. liutford.
Mr. TAYLOR relsonded. The officers of the Court bad
been placed somewhat in a dilemma, RS they hardly
knew how far their powers had been interfered with by
recent Acts. However, lately they had exercised their
power, and had been supported by the magistrates. But
he wished to state that in the course they had taken
they had no ill-feeling whatever, and only did whet he
referred to as a matter of duty, and out of fairness to
their fellow men. If diseased cattle were brought into
the market to be sold as food for the poor people of the
town, it WILY their duty to endeavour to prevent its dis-
tribution. In louden, and other large places, the magis-
, trates had imposed very heavy fines, and in some cases
imprisonruent ; but they (the officers of the Court) did
not want that: they simply desired to put a stop to had
meat being seld—(hear, hear). on behalf of himself and
his brother officers, he begged to thank them.
Song by Mr. Curtis: "God bless our Queen."
The VICIL•CHAIRMAN proiersed "The Ladies," and Mr.
SHORT° being called upon, responded.
"The Visitors" was prineeied by the Vice-Ceiinessr,
and acknowledged by Mr. Sraoce, of the firm of Stroud
and Co.
The (7nattless proposed "The officers of the Town
Council," Messrs. Curtis and Coward.
Mr. CURTIS responded. He had been for 30 years
Sergeant-at-Mace of the borough, and had always endea-
voured to do his duty.
"The Host and Hostess" WAS given by the CHAIRMAX,
and Mr. !Mows returned thanks.
Various songs arid sentiments were given during the
evening.
Shortly before 11 the CHAIRMAN gave "Our next Merry
Meeting," and one of the most successful gatherings of
the Dorchester Court la.-et was brought to a close at 11
p.m. by singing a verse of the National Anthem.
