Jesse Talbot was charged by P.C. Short with plying
as a watermen in the harbour for a fare, without
being licensed so to do. The case having been
clearly proved, the defendant said he had applied
several times for • license, but was unable to get

eldremang the defendant, said he had rendered bin•
seU very notorious for • long bole pair, and in
eonsequence of his frequent drunkenness and
employment of filthy leaguer, the magistrates, for
the protection of the public, had deemed it right to
deprive him of his license. They did hope that he
would thereby be taught to see his fully and to
amend, so that they might Kraut him a license
again. It appeared, however, that their hopes were
doomed to disappointment. They did not wish to
punish him, but the case having been clearly provool,
they were compelled to flue him a not less sum

An idle young fellow, who spends all the moony he

DRATH THROUGH FRIGHT AND BURNING.-011
Sunday afternoon a little girl, about four years old,
daughter of Mr. Samways, letter carrier, died from
injuries received, mentally and bodily, on the pre-
vious day. It appears that on Saturday morning,
after Mrs. Samways had lit the fire, she went out to
shake the mats, leaving the deceased by the fire
putting on her boots. She was not from the house
more than two or three minutes, but while she was
out she beard the child scream. She ran in, and saw
her in flames. The child was a good deal burnt,
and she told her mother that her night gown caught
fire by a spark flying from the grate. I lie surgeon
who attended her attributed her death chiefly to the
fright she received on her claims catching light. A
coroner's inquest in this case was not deemed

necessary.
MUNICIPAL ELtertoe.— The annual election of
Town Councillers will take place on the Ist, Novem-
ber. Besides the six members who retire ny rotation,
there is an extraordinary vacancy occasioned by the
death of Mr. Pitman. Of the retiring members, five
are Liberals, some of whom, at least, decline to offer
themselves for re-election. With regard to the Con-
servatives but • little has been made public. They
have had a pothouse meeting or two, which, we hear,
have not given complete satisfaction to all parties,
in cinsequenei of the claims of certain gentlemen
being overlooked. From the "discontents" we learn
that Dr. Fox and Mr. Groves, chemist, bail
been waited upon, but as they refused to sign "the
articles of war" -or in other words, to tic themselves
down to • faction, they have been scratched
off the rolls. The Tory chieftain rules with a high
hand, even in his own camp. There are certain
persons to be kept in office or receive certain '
favours, certain dirty work to be done which
even Tory voters do not approve of, and the
rapectable" portion of the party have refused to
soil their fingers by consenting to enact the part of
" flunkey." The consequence is, that municipal
honours, conferred under the terms demanded, have
gone a-begging, as none but the most consummate
donkeys—persona who are thp everyday laughing-
stock of the public, are desirous of the place. What
we shall ultimately arrived at is clearly discernible.
In the coo:me of another year Weymouth will be
able al:limiest offs Corporation more servile to a single
goons than any other in the throe kingdoms.
CHICKERELL. SNAPP AN M INOONS The
annual meeting of We Chickerell branch of the
Wesleyan Missionary Society, was held on Monday
evening, the 21st inst., in the Independent Chapel,
kindly lent for the occasion. The weather was very
wet, notwithstanding which, the chapel was filled. '

addresses were delivered by the Rev. R. Cooke, the
Rev. J. H. Vfiit, and Miners. Anderson and Otter.
The collection and the missionary boxes amounted to
£2 75., or ss. more than last year.

vited. The children carrying flags fuel headed by
the village band, arrived about two o'clock, and were
regaled with tea and cake, while others partook of
• splendid luncheon in the hoese. It might be
called • general spread, as all parties, whether in-
vited or not, were welcome. All kinds of amuse-
monks were indulged in, such as jumping in sacks,
wheeling barrows blindfold, running, bobbing for
apples and money. climbing a greasy pole, dancing,
and even Aunt Sally volunteered her servioes for the
rwireation Of the people. Altogether an exceedingly
pleasant afternoon was passed. Three times three
cheers were given for Capt. Fyler, his excellent lady,
and tho child whose christening was thus popularly
celebrated, and about dusk the company separated,
highly delighted with We enjoyments that had been
afforded them.
