WEYMOUTH MATTERS.

To the Editors.

I must apologias for my rough and hasty note last
week, and thank you sincerely for the ready manner in
which you mid yes, otirtaii to my request. Ido
Ilke people, and editors especially, to be candid, even
though I know they don't ways say what they believe;
but, that's their business, not mine. As I told you, his
Majesty, George 111, has not spoken out lately so
clearly as I thought he would, but on selection, I do
not wonder at it, since his age is great and his spirits
much depressed on account of the loss of his dear old
loyal friends. A man that's got a lot of poor friends
and a seedy coat to his bask, needn't go shout crying
"who'll pity me." That would be as absurd as Imbue
a convict to pity them black nigger" who have been
pocketing the Weymouth coinage for so many long
week'. Well, I've got quite tired of them niggles, and
I don't think it is justice to our local musical talent to
let them stick about the straits any longer. Now, that
brings me to Reform; the lint thing uppermost in my
mind. His Majesty, as well as all his subjects, has
long waited for it. The Tories, and the Liberals, and
the ' Wigs" have all promised Reform. The low Mr.
Lowe, has den* all he can to unmet the temper of good,
loyal, honeat subjects. The dirty newspapers have done •
pod deal to help bim, and some of the dirty members
have done agree* deal more than that. Bet the com-
fort is, all the newspapers 'aint dirty, nor yet all thil
K.?... "IL a good job there isn't assay Lowe P.s,
or else we should very soon have a revolution. 'Tis a
UNIA mistake to suppose that the mum at London is a
fair representation of the working-daises of England.
May just as well believe that nine tailors make a man,
when people know that there are lots of tailors that can
do more and know more than any nine M.P.s not of
every twenty. Believe me, the majority of men that
can't vote know • good deal more than half them that
do. Wasn't judge of other counties by this here county
of Dorset of ours. Bless you! if the Dorset people
were to go up the north towards Scotland. they would
never believe their eyes. Talk about intelligence—why
some of the mechanics up along there are fit to be
magistrates, much more voters I Infidelity and crime
are on their last legs. Jargon and pedantry are obliged
to cripple about on crutches. Workinr men and work.
ing women are not so full of cant and twaddle as setae
of their knob's,. We must have Reform, and I for
one will be content with that amount of it which has
been so long promised, and his Majesty I'm sere will
join in all I say. Does be not remember the distress in
Lancashire? Doss he not know them existed no class
of society that could or would stand penury,
despondency, and hunger better than "the seem" of
Lancashire society did? There is DO need of beteg
afraid of Englishmen or Scotches's. Give 'em • vote.
We shall have some clever fellows in the House of
Commons ever after, depend on it. Let us have English
feeling and fair play in this Reform matter awl then
we needn't be afraid of exuberant Irishmen or English-
men either. Now the next thing that sticks is my
mind, and I can't anyhow get rid of it, is the "Begat"
question. I'm not going to deal h the sugar of
Jamaica, or any other (align eousilis produce—but

arrpu: one or two other little matters, and then I've
done for • bit. They tell me they talk of moving dear
old George Hr. statue. Now, f don't think he is worth
moving, nor do I think it right to move it either;
but I do think it would its better if the rails
and weeds were swept away altogether. II the
authorities do right they will nodose more of the wade
ground around or in front of his Majesty and then with
a little doctoring and some rookery I've no doubt bet his
Majesty would get more respect than he now does. The
next thing is the rings, sad • good deal of ignoriuses
has been shown over that lately. Some of We "locals"
think they would'et let their lodgings well if it was
converted into • winter garden—now you know, 'tisn't
much use to argue with silly tenants, but if I were •
landlord of any lodging-house near the Rings, I should
make up my mead to have LIO • year addlboaal rest
directly the place was put right, for Pm sure every
tenant would be £2O the better off than now. The mat
thing is the Market home. Did ever anybody gm
such a dirty place on the Sunday? I 11111•11 f did—it
beats Billingsgate hollow. At least bang up something
to hide the view dike interior when people are going
to church. I think that the Churchyard next to it
would be the better all nicely levelled, and small shrubs
and flowers planted instead of large trees. Depend on it
there is something shout flowers that can help forward
the attractions of the town, as well as aiding the moral
and medal elevation of the poorer dames. There is a
strange eyespathy between natural beauty and moral
beauty •we can't have too much either. In Blooms-
bury district there was • little dower show got •p in
MO, and ninety-four plants only were exhibited from
the courts and allays; this year then were 1,900 plants
brought forward; the fast speaks for itself. Industrial
exhibitions also are helping on the good time, and I
have not beard of • failure when the thing has been
well managed, Now, I must come to • close, and
:pologise for taking up so mach room, bet as I have
lways wished to see my town 'get up in the world,"
and everybody Jo a position to pay their high rents and
hues, you will, I'm sure, exams my Intranet° on
matters that George the 'Third never thought of.
