WE ymoum

Geggions.—H. Edwards, Req., M.P., is announeed
to give £lOO for obrdable distribution during the
°owing season. The hon. mambo?' election expanses
must be heavy, and the expenditure of so considerable
• sum in charity, after his election bile are settled, will
be exceedingly generous.
Tug COASTOUARD.-All it has been stated that some
attempt is being made to undervalue the services of the
cosetgaard in putting off to rescue the teen upeet in our
Bay, we think it just to inform our readers that we
have been reminded that the Admiralty orders to the
men are always to put on their cork jackets under such
circumstances. This does not, however, lessen the
brilliancy of the act of the pilot boat's crew, who were
exposed to equal Stanger.
A tgcruag on "Weymouth Ancient and Modern,"
was delivered on Monday evening, at the Working
Men's Club, North Quay, by Mr. Beuuton Ford. The
chair was taken by Mr. 0. R. Crickmey, supported by
Mr. Renato°, and although such large numbers were at
Mr. Stern's meeting, there was a good attendance, the
room being quite full. Considering that this was Mr.
Ford's dame in public, he was very successful, speaking
with considerable animation, illustrating his subject in
a happy manner, with pleasant anecdotes.
THE BODIES OF mg MEN DROWNED IN TRII BAT
were refused interment without the usual certificate,
and therefore an injuest was held at the house of the
gate-keeper of.,the oenieterylon Thursday morning, before
H. Lock, EN., deputy-coroner. A verdict of
" Accidental Death" was returned. The jury, through
Mr. J. J. H. Longtnan, their foreman, gave their fees
to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. It appears
that Payne's friends wished an inquest to be held, as
there was &policy of insurance on his life, and this was
another reason for it, besides the refusal of a certificate
by Mr. Barrett, registrar. The bodies were interred
in the ground not belonging to the Church,( England,
and the service was read by the Rev. R. S. Ashton, In
the presence of sorrowing friends.

PATBIJITAIIOII TO THI KIICTOR.—We were informed
early last week of the presentation by • number of ladies
attending SL Mary's Church, of • set of robes to the

sanounee the fact, as It was supposed to be • private

mord that the robes included gown, cossack. scarf,ko4

affectionate letter accompanied the present, which was
acknowledged by 11r. Greases in suitable terms, the
