that the district in question remained, until compare.
tively recent times, a sort of" Little Wales," analogous
to a greater Wales still existing, Mr. Ksoils*e's
arguments are mainly booed on the remarkable fact
that some of the churches in the locality he refers to
are dedicated to British saints who flourished long
prior to the Rombh mission of St. Augustine, and
were never recognised in the Anglo-Saxon celendar.
Some passage. of early history are also brought
forward to sustain the argument.
ROYAL HORAN ARTILLIRI
men of the Royal Hones Artillery and Permanent Staff
gave an enjoyable entertainment on Thursday evening

kindly lent for the occasion. Among those who
deserve credit for getting up the affair were Sergeant

Ile noel hardly say that the Mayor on every occasion had

he was q iite sure they one and all did their very bt at to
further toe inter, eta of Weymouth in every possible way.
(The nawe of Mr. Alderman Thomas was coupled with
that of toe Corp 'ration, and the toast was received with

musical honouie)
The hieeoa, who vase warmly received, thanked them
for the way in which the toast had been received. He
considered that the next beet award which public men
could have, the After c inscioustiess of haviug done their
duty, was that they met with the approbation of their
fellow". (Hear, hear.) He could not help tulips that
they who were at present members of the Corporation.
whatever their failings might be, and whatever their
errors of judgment might be, still had the credit of con-
scientiously and honeatly doing their duty to the town to
the best of their ability. (Applause.)
Sir lie boric Jahnstune had made allusion to what he
thought might fairly be called. and what the boa.
member had called that evening, the prosperity of Wey-
mouth. lie (his Worship) considered they had every
reason to be thankful, for when they looked round and
saw on all sides the great depression there had beet, and
the great losses which there had been on account of the
bad seasons that other watering pieces had had, they
would agree with him they bad had fairly their share,
compared to what he had heard of other watering places,
especially those in the South if England. Weyniouth
hut had as good a season, if not better, than any other
place in the south. Allusion had also been made to the
building in the town, and that mealt be taken as an in-
dication of the prosperous state of things. When they
saw hooves beim( built, and not ouly built, but being
rapidly taken, it showed they were net in • stagnant
state, and that they were having their full share of pros-
potty. As be bad heard • builder say the otter day (and
be believed it was • true remark), he never knew so 'teeny
trowels going ad there were at toe present time. When
be had the pleasure of a idreeing them last year reference
was made to tho tr.dfic teat wes beine gradually de-
veloped, and which was cities in its infancy he referred
Oto the nerbourg traffic. Twelve months see it was very
uncertain whether that tragic would be • success, but he
was now happy to say that the development of ties'
traffic hat been cquel to the most sanguine expectations
of the promoters. (Applaut e) They might, therefore,
fairly be sure that unless any r-ry uuforeseeu circum-
stances occurred, that trestle; would he • permanency so
far as this port was concerned. (lluer, hear.) (Mr.
CIUMAS : "Ono of the steamers ceubl not eet out ot the
harbour this morning." Mr. CURTI& 'The "tur)
dredger will alter all that.") II was of very strut impor-
tance to the town that this traffic should ba secure, for
these two lines of steamers supported upwards of IN
families. and the tea:luny spent in this town several
thousands ono way and the ether, and as they added
largely to the revenues of the hareour it was of very groat
itupotanco that the traffic should continue. (Heir,
hear.) With the development of this treflic, however,
they who were in authority had to few a grave difficulty.
Weymouth was not only a commercial eort but it
war a fashional,le waterieg place, and it was quite !
possible, and more than possible, it was probable
that in the increasing cow ureters of the town, it
would c'esli with the pleasere parte of the cowl,. 'fliers
had been s enethiseg approaching this undesirelec state of
thine' already, but they woo were iu the Corporation
would do their tom at not Only to develope the commerce
of the town, but ii protect the interests of the pleasures
part of the pepubitien. (Hear, hear.) Teey would
endeavour to protect and do all they could to immerse' the
attractions for the pleasure-seekers, while they did uot
choke or strangle the increasing commerce of the putt.
Thera were other things to look to to form attractions for
visitors. One of the first thinga for inseence that sea
uked by people who came here, especially by the
Petatfamilise who bad his quiver full, was shout the
schools, and the means for education. Weymouth, he
might say was very fortunate in tnis respect. They had
11>Me very excelleut private schools, and they bad others
of • more public charecter. It was an unfortunate circum-
stance that the larger school of the town had been lately
passing through • Gins which lied certainly datneged it
considerably. But this was not the time and he was not
the person to pa-s any opinien or make any reference to
that crisis through which that school was passing, lie
would, however, remind his fellow-to•uscaen that the
first promoters of that school wore wets of peace, and they
had but ono object before them in stetting it,viz., to meet
an educational want felt here, and el" to rusks that
school • source of attraction to Weymouth. (Hear, r.ar )
Then there were ewer things wheel they hid to attend to
In their public cepacities. Deere were souse very difficult
questions before them at tee present time, but he need
hardly go into thet now, and would promise them they
would exercise all their judgment, all their diligence, and
all their skill to west them, &eel do the bat they could for
the good of the te wn. (Hear, hear.) It warns gie et satis-
faction to hear from Sir Fredelick Johnstone a tact, whieh
some of them doubtless were partly aware of Woe, via.
with regard to the health of , he town, although for his part
he had no idea it was so satisfactory, The first and fore-
most of all the attractions tut ought to be put before tee
public was the healthiness eif the town. A watering-Place
was essentially a place where people resorted to for their
health, audit Weymouth did not maintain her present
enviable position she would soon rink down tc a mere
third or fourth-rate provincial town. If they maintaiued
• clean bill of health and • low rata of mortality (and he
saw no earthly reasoa why they should not), then he con-
tended there was no reesee why the circumstances that
had brought about this happy state of things should be
altered, and if they maintained this, then, he said, there
was no reason in the world Why they should not g ) on in
that steady course of prosperity which fey le el been
pursuing for some time pagt. (Applause.) Titers wee oue
great advan;ige to Weytuouth—they hail not home over
speculative, and they had Dot been subject to the reverses
that more pushing places had. An immense, wave of
prosperity seemed to have peued over some place, and

beer but who, aside from political or party feelings, was •
determined to du his beet to further the intercate of the
town. (Applause.)
Mr. PILLS licrOrie said he telt it to be • great honour
to be entrusted with the proposal of the next toast, viz.,
"The Magistrates of the Boreugh." (Applause.) He was
proud to say they hail a bench of magistrates here who
could hold their own for legal ability with any in the
county. The maristracy bed been considerably augmented
within the last few years, and he thought the selection
made had reflected great credit upon the judgment and
discernment ot Vie present L eel Chenceller. (11..ar, hear.)
A great deel-hael been said about the health of Woyuleuel
that evening, but he did not know if it we, ettributable
to the uteeistrates,as there wore four doctors on tie bench.
(Laughter.) lie could only say that toe duties of the
bench wore much lighter than formerly, and it wes a meet
gratifying fact that not only had Blues iu Weymouth
bOOlnlit infinitely smaller than it was, but crime, ha was
happy to say, had become very much less teen It was some
time ago. (Hear, hear.) 'Choi bench het been moot
assiduous in their duties. He remarked the leuch of this
town was very large, because it was not every gentleman
of the "great unpaid" who was able for devote his daily
attention to the duties required. Still the bench had been
newt assiduous, and thanks wore duo to theta for the care
and pains they hut bestowed in the discharge of their
duties. (Applause.)
Kr. C. F. AangN (Magistrates' Clerk) said he bad great
pleasure la reeponding. Ills father and himself had been
magistreteiclorks for more than 36 years, and the kind-
nese they had received from the bench had been great and
uniform. To every single case brought before them the
magistretea had given their best attention, and they bad
found their deciarous afforded the utmost satisfaction.
(Applause.)
Mr. CLICK3II•Y then proposed the toaat of the evening,
vie, "Success and Prusperity t 3 Weymouth." In the
course of an admirable speech Mr. Cricktuay tendered
sorted valuable suggestions to further the interests ef the
town. First of ell he dwelt on the ituportauce of bringing
the place es near the Metropolis as possible. Tne other
day when travelling from Lepton he found that a portion
of the train was detached at Bishopstoke and sent ,hreet
from thence ass special to Bourneueutb. Why could not

deal of pressure brought to bear on the company to induce
Unita to grant it to them as well. Again. be &stet. why

suggestions were placing of trees on the Esplanaee in box..
or pots, as in Trafelgar-seuare mut other places, for four
months in the autunite and thee removing them to the
back of the town.-01 ar, hearj—also placing some kind
of awning over the Eiplanade chairs. With regard to the
