WEYMOUTH, JULY 22.

The sale of his late Mescsxx'S property, by Mr.
Puttara, of London, has attracted a great accession
of visitors to this a,:reeable watering phke, which
has during the past week been all gaiety and bustle.
The Lodge was sold to WILLIAM YOUNG, Esq.-of this
tow'', for four thousand guineas; the four houses
adjoining, and stabling, to other residents. His Ma-
JEsTy's pew in the Church, capable of containing
twenty-one persons, was divided, and sold at from
twelve to twenty-five guineas each sitting. The fur-
niture brought most extravagant prices, and must
lave produced altogether not less than £5OOO. The
general feeling of reverence for our late lamented
and beloved SoVEnEtex; was most warmly exempli-
fied by the zealous competition to possess a relic
from his hallowed residence. Many-of the pieces Of
fn. ruiture, &c. quadrupled their original cost. The
glass tumblers sold for twenty-five shillings each,
and pint decanters at three guineas a pair. The
sofa, in his 11IAJEsry's Study, fetched 50 guineas;
small writing table, 3 feet by 18 inches, 35 guineas;
and many articles manufactured by the tradesmen
of Weymouth, sold fin- trade the original costs. In
truth, the prices for which everything sold are
spoken of as unexampled, and yet delight-and satis-
faction beamed on the countenance of every pur-
chaser. Among' thii distinguished assemblage,
who made considerable purchases, we particularly
noticed, Sir I.oi-ry OrwAv„ Mrs. YOUNG,- Colonel
liontlea, Major 'Amide, Rev. G. CH.AmBISRLAIN,
Colonel BowLn, and Mrs, 01,1vEn.

On Monday last, Mr. OLIVER gave his first grand
dinner, to Lieutenant-Colonel BELLE, Captain KING,
16th Lancers, Sir HENRY ONSLOW, and a select.party
of Fashiouables, -at his residencie in Augusta-place.
The Band of the Regiment was in attendance, and
performed several airs, highly gratifying to the pe-
destrians. This Military Band has altered the system
of attending on Sundays on the Esplanade, till 'after
Divine Service is concluded at all the places of wor-
ship, after which they assemble on board one of the
pleasure yachts, and proceed. to Weymouth Bay, and
there tune their martial sounds, followed by most of
the boats and galleys belonging. to the Port, in which
the Officer ,'-in a six-oared wherry, dressed in white
jackets and trowsers, bear.a conspicuous part, form-
ing a mostiateresting Regatta scene, and attractive
to a vast concourse of elegant and well-dressed spec-
tators, who promenade from the Belvidere to the
extremity of the Pier every Sunday evening.
The Ariel, fine cutter yacht, with Mr..l-LtmeAx
and a select party, has anchored. in our Roads some.
days. Colonel and Mrs. BEAUMONT, and family,

session, and was sentenced to fourteen years trans-

ISECKE V. WOOD, ZILLCUTOR OF DINH.
This was an action for money had and received to
the plaintiff's use. There were the usual money ac-
counts.—The plaintiff claimed a balance of £lOOO,
being money alleged to be due to him by the execu-
tors of a Gentleman, named Deno, who in hit life-
time resided at Canterbury, and was a man of consi-
derable wealth. The plaintiff was also a man of for-
tune, residing at Sandwich. He had been paid £l5OO
by the deceased on account before his death, and he
now brought this action for the balance.
The defence set up was, that the money which the
plaintiff claimed was for a gambling debt won of the
deceased at cards, he being a man, as was suggested,
of imbecile understanding.
Mrs. Denn, his widow, stated these facts. She had
paid the plaintiff £l5OO as a point of honour, but the
executors had refused to pay the balanie now claimed.
Under these circumstances, the CHIEF BARON di-
rected a nonsuit.
