STARTLING AND PAINFUL RUIROUR.--On Monday evening
Weymouth was shocked by a report that the steamship
Aquila, Captain Palle, of the Channel Islands line, had
been lost on the island of Berm. No news of such • pain-
ful event had been received at the Company's office, but
it was stated that a telegram had been received at the
Royal Dorset Yacht CPA,. The intelligenee reached Port-
land by the seven o'clock train, and there it was carefully
examined and disposed of as untrue. Said the nautical
men on a jury met to decide another matter. "The

faster than the packet herself would have been. If it had

it was found that • steam yacht maned Aquila, had been
wrecked on the Spurn Head (Yorks.). The Aquila (Jersey

DORSET RIFLE VOLI/IfTEERS.
We understand that Lieut. Colonel Steward, who
for the past ten years has been second in command of
the Dorset battalion of rifle volunteers, has consented
to take the Coloneley recently nsigned by Colonel
Mansel, and that Mr. Charles llarnbro will join the
rek,iment as secondLient.-Colonel. It has been felt by
every well-wisher of the hattalionthattheonly possible
successor to Colonel Mansel was Lieut. -CoL -Steward.
A thorough soldier, an officer universally respected by
the battalion, and one under whom all have had much
aatisfaction in working, his taking the command will
save the regiment from disintegration : and, with him
at its head, we have no doubt but that the battalion
will maintain its old reputation for efficiency. At this
juncture in the history of the volunteer movement,
when there is nothing special to stir the patriotism of
the country, and our soldiers are largely
regarded as but men with a pastime, there is every
need that the Colonel of the regiment should be • I
gentleman who will secure the adhesion of those who
are veterans in the conduct of the several corpe and
active in their ranks. This, we believe, Col. Steward
will do, and we trust that after the lapis: of another
sixteen year.. the battalion willbe as strong in numbers
and as healthy in tone as it is at the present time. In
regard to Mr. llambro, he has yet to distinguish him.
self as a rifle volunteer, though lie is well-known in the
yeomanry cavalry; but we feel sure that he will enter
upon the work with zest, and that next season will
find him a zealous coadjutor with the new Colonel in
the active duties of the battalion.

Mr. RICHARD HEYWOOD, having been a civil servant in

India, and of the reality of the work done by moans of the

MRS. STEDMAN'S CONCERT.
The general public ehowed their appreciation of Mrs.
Stedman's singing on Thumisy evenitw, by attending in
good numbers; but the "upper ten" were rather less
numerous, although the concert was in every way worthy
of their patronage. Miss Jennie Smith and Mr. J.
Stanley Smith proved Mrs. Stedman's good taste in select-
ing agreeable singers, for the lady has a very eweet
soprano voice, and Mr. Smith a good rich bass, and they
were both very eucceseful, Mr. Smith being encored for his
splendid rendering of the song "A Warrior Bold." Mrs.
Stedman and Mr. Blandford are isks.47 sufficiently well
known in Weymouth, and the favour with which the" are
always received was continued on Thursday night. The
TruuWour " trio (Macfarron) by Miss Smith, Mrs.
Stedman, and Mr. S. Stein= was well sung, and Glover $
duet "A Sister's Love," was beautifully sung by Miss
South and Miss Stedman. A very pleasing feature of the
concert was the find appearance of Miss smell* R,oail, a
young lady of Weymouth, who sang G ugl ieltio's "The Lover
and the Bird," with sufficient saeuire faire , and anagrecable
contralto voice. Miss Road being now fairly introduced
we may expect to be again favoured with her appearance.
Miss Jennie Smith very charmingly sang the soprano of
Bishop's glee " Daughter of Error," and tte glee was one
of the successes. So was the trio by Cushman, "Ti prego,
charmingly sung by Miss Smith, Mrs. Stecman, and Mr.
Mlaudford, and the public were loud sal long in their
applause of the glee "When meteor lights' by Mies Jeunie
' Smith, Mr. and Mrs Stedman. Mr. Gibbons and Mr.
Thorne played with charming taste an hatrumental duet
for harp and pianoforte— `Les Derriere Chants du
Cygne, on Souvenirs do Malibran " (Socha.). AS we, to
be expected, Mr. Gibbons on the harp was exquisite, and
Mr. Thorne took the pianoforte part w th much ability.
Mr. Clubbing also gave another eshibilion of his extra-
ordinary ipower as a harpist, in his accompaniment of Mrs..
Stedman's song (Glover) "the blind and her harp,..
sung by Mrs. Stedman with much pathes. Mime Smith's
most noteworthy songs were " Softly, softly, blow ye
breezes" and "The wishing cap." Th. concert WM fairly
micossaful; but it deserved more patrozage.

FASHIONABLE WEDDINO.—On Thursday morning a
fashionable wedding which took place in the parish church.
Swanago, attracted much public attention. Flags were
floating on the church tower and bells were ringing, and
at ten o'clock the sacred edifice was crowded. The chancel
and Communion table were most chastely and tastefully
decorated with flowers (specially apropos to the occasion),
and with wreaths and floral festoons. At a quarter past 10 ,
the Very Rev. Dean Close, of Carlisle, grandfather of the I
bride, with Mre Close and other friends arrived, and
shortly after the bridegroom, Mr. Roger B. Sedgwiek

where her mix bridesmaids (her sisters and frienciZtl

ladies sang sweetly the hymn commencing "Thu Voice
