WEYMOUTH, Nov. 27.—The Right Hon. Thomas Wal-
lace and Masterton Ure, Esq. M.P. arrived hereon ‘Vedaesday
last, and were welcomed by the gratulations of our Worshipful
Mayor, Joseph Ilorsford, Esq., and many of the principal
visitors and inhabitants. By a previous resolution of the Cor-
poration, it was unanimously agreed to request Mr. Wallace
to accept the office of Principal Burgess, as a mark of their
highest esteem. Accordingly on Monday last the Corporation
waited on the Right lion. Gentleman, in full costume, at his
house in York-buildings. The Mayor having stated the oh-
ject of the visit, said that the Corporation had resolved upon
this measure as a token of respect for the important and inva-
luable services which the Right Ilon. Gentleman had rendered
his country, by the introduction of the liberal and enlightened
policy under which its commerce is at this moment carried on, and
forhis ,teal and attention to the intcrestsof the town of Weymouth.
Mr. Wallace, evidently much affected by this unexpected ho-
nour, replied, that he wanted words to express his feelings for
the kindness of the Corporation. He was, he said, extremely
happy that the measures which he had been the humble means
of introducing had met their approbation. Every day's expe-
rience convinced hini of the advantages which our commerce
had derived from those measures. We were now daily reco-
vering our strength ; so that, in the event of war, which God
forbid! we should be able on the one hand to prevent aggres-
sion, and punish those who thought that the Lion was in its
dotage.—' Come the three corners of the world in arms, and
we shall shock them ;" for " Naught shall make us rue, if
England to itself do rest but true."—Yesterday the Right Hon.
Gentleman attended at Guildhall, where he was met by the
Corporation, and sworn in a Member of that respectable Body.
The Mayor, in honour of the occasion, gave a splendid (linnet
at the Crown Tavern.
