Wilson, and Poole and Young, commence exhibiting
their far-famed Atherscope on Monday next, nlaying
Charles Dickens's "Christmas Carol," and on Tuesday
Gounod's "Faust" will be performed. The good
singing and acting, and wonderful illusions, long well

engaged for &concert by seven popular artistes :—Miss
Mary Davis, Miss Mackenzie, Mr, Bernard Lane,
Mr. Farley Sinkins, Signor Full, Mons. Albert, and
Miss Randegger. Such an assembly of talent cannot
fail to attract as large an audience as can be made
room for, and gratitude must be felt to the promoters
for giving the opportunity of hearing such a party of
artistes.

WONDERFUL SEWING Mat:inns. Mr. Wheeler's
Weymouth and County Machine Depnt is always
provided with the newest specimens of advanced
improvements in these indispensable household friends.
The latest is "The White." which, judging from its
description, surpasses all the rest; it is lockstitch and
runs as softly and quietly as any chainatitch machine,
the needle is self-setting,the shuttle selfthreading, and
it is strong enough to make a carpet, and fine enough
for a cambric handkerchief; in fact can do both kinds
of work, hand or treadle may be used to drive it, and
Its cheapness is said to be remarkable. As usual with
the best things of this class, Mr. Wheeler has obtained
the sole agency.
GRAND BILLIARD MATCH.—We notice that an
extraordinary match is to be plaj sad on the opening
of Mr. J. Symes's new billiard saloon at the Golden
Lion Hotel, which he WAS encouraged to fit up, no
doubt, partly in consequence of the Albion Club being
closed. A large ream has been c inverted by Mr.
Symms into a comfortable saloon with every accom-
modatiin. and on Tuesday next its opening will be die-
tioguishe.i by a grand match between Mr. G. C.-Ilina.

intention to assault, and the lilting of the hand under
such circumstances was sufficient to constitute an
assault—Fined 54. including costa, and told that he
got off very timidly.
Leaguer coe WIT AND HinfoUß.—Mr. W. Rowton
delivered an entertaining lecture on Friday evening at
the Royal Hotel in connection with the Weymouth
Leann, Society. He remarked that with satire tine
world very properly associates the Ilea of good breed:
lug and invariable courtesy, but, alas! we often find
those regarded as eparkling—who are deficient in mind
and proportionately noisy in speech—persons who read
little, and know nothin; or worse. The "satire" of
such individuals is a mere c •teittrfeit, and it seems
strange that such, so unlike the real thing, should pass
as entreat; but there are always unsuspecting people
who will take bad money. Satire properly ec-cdled
suggests to us a highly-finished small sward in the
terrible right hand of a most accomplished fencer; the
wounds It gives are nearly imwrceptible, but always in
the tenderest parts, while ridicule remind. an of the
broadsword. Quoting Washington Irving's "Knicker-
bockers in New York," he selects,' the wawa
describing the condition of the aborigines, and the
things introdused by the settlers, who brought
remedies for disewses, and, in order that the aborigines
might appreciate the value of them, first introduced
