A DXAD Doenirr.—This unusual spectacle was seen

Ten Orarsa Vzsens.—Our harbour looked quite

out. A similar number were in Portland Roads, and on
Saturday there were about 150 at the oyster bed ; bat
this pretty nearly has been dredged oat, and very many
of the oyster boats have gone.
Tama 07 THII FIIII•110111 AT TAN BASIIACIS
When the fire happened at Mr. Hutchings's, some
time ago, Lieut-Col. Akan, ILE, finding that the
pipe. and engine belonging to the barracks were use-
less, applied to the proper authorities for • fresh supply
of pipes, like those in the pouession of the pollee, and
• few days alnoe they arrived. By the Colonel's re-
quest, Superintendent Vickery attended with some men
and pipes at the barracks at half-past 10 on Friday
morning, to nee lithe couplings of the pollee pipes
would connect with those of the military, and whether
all the a; paratua would act. They found that eight ,
new lengths of pipe, • hose reel, and four breaches, I
had been sent, and that they would couple on to the I
others very well. The apparatus was all tried for !
about an hour and • half, and although no notice was
given to the Waterworks Company, till the laat
moment, it was found that two immense jets of water
went clear over the berm ks. This a moat inatidaotory,
and proves that Weymouth is as afe as it can be made,
by the permission of Frovidence,agelnet fire. The police
fire brigade have twelve 40th lengths, Meters. Devenisb
and Co. ail or seven, the Waterworks Company five
or sin, and the Barracks eight lengths with all ap-
parent,. In a ease of emergency in the OTC4II streets,
they haat twelve hydrants, end can bring to bear no
lees than 12 jets cf water on a fire.
TAX POLIca AT TUE ELIECTION.—We thick it right to
notice the good management of the pollee during the
day of election. Although the Mayor was lylos
and the Deputy Mayor fully engaged an returning
officer, no that all the responsibility fell upon Supt.
Viekery, who was quite • stranarr to an election crowd
, in Weymouth, the enermone multitude were kept will
within bounds. The tow ewe of insult brou.tht upon
people by their showing hoKtile colours, were quickly
seen and prevented from going to any Serious length.
The Superintendent is raid to have discoverod a deter-
minatiou, if Mr. Edwards were defeated, to wreak the
Working Men's Club, and do itraal damage at the
Olouoester Club House and the Royal Hotel. Doubt-
lees there were some determiaed spirit& among the
crowd, but Mr. V,clccry slimly calculated that If
they were so determined, the crowd, themselves
hseicg votes, must win the election, and so
there was no fear from that source. The attack
on Admiral Tryon's window& could not be foreseen,
but the authors of the mischief were so quickly dis-
covered and thoroughly punished that we hope there
will not again be muds an impudent attempt to return
to the practical of the bad old times. It will however,
be remembered that • short time before the damage
was commeueed, slot of men went up street ahoutiog
that "Johnstone and Hambro " had won, and this
appears to have awaked the irritation that vented itself
by window-.mashing; but it is surprising that only one
or two men were centerned therelo. The police were
reedy throughout to protect the Gloucester and Royal
Hotels.

N•RILOW Kecapu 7•011 DROWNIXa.—On Monday
night, about helf-past 13, a sailor named John Wood,
belonging to the smack Heroine, was crossing the
planks to go on board hie vessel, when be fell into the
water. The watchman on board the Aquila steamer
heard the splash, and Mr. F. Charles, Custom House
officer, took • boat, and Wood was, with the aisistanoe
of two of his mates, got out Of the water. He had
sunk under the water twice, and was quite inserudble,
bat waa promptly trotted in the boat, and the water
got out of him, and then he was taken on board the
steamer, where the treatment used for restoration of
the apparently drowned was °outland. P.C. &Wieland
0.11,d Dr. 'Dead, and Mr. Charles sent for Dr. Nathan.
Both cisme end attended promptly to the patient. The
man was removed to that Tay expellent institution the
Bailors' Home, and the doctor continued to attend him
for an hour. Be became much better • but la the
morning he was pronounced not out of danger. Mr.
Charles deserves the highest praise for so promptly
oommencing the treatment for restoration of breathing,
instead of being time by waiting for • doetor or having
the body removed into a house. By this he was indeed
the saviour of the man's life, for had be yielded to the
sustom, whleh is a very silly wiperslitioo, of glottis'
the man into house, and getting the body warm, In all
probability his life would have been lost. While it la
always proper to send immediately for a doctor 1111 Mr.
Charles did it le the height of prudence to set as if
neither doctor nor house ware at band. Breathing, and
not specially warmth, is the object to be gained first,
and we oongrattliate Mr. Charles on his double gnomes,
and commend his example to any who may have the
like opportunity. If • similar mai happen, and the
body be brought to a ship or a boat, the movements
for restoring breathing should be instantly eommeneed,
and it Is bitter, not that the drowned person should
be brought to the doetot,and delay caused, but that the
rescuers should restore the drowned while the doctor is
coming. The Sailor's Rome is • most useful loathe.
lion, after breathing has been uttered, for getting up
warmth, and we have reason to be thankful for having
such • place accessible day or night. This Is said to be
the tenth life Mr. Charles has caved, and he certainly
deserves • modal and a teetimlnial of value.
