WEYMOUTH.

On Tuesday evening a meeting was held by public notice at
Luce's Hotel; on the Esplanade, to establish a Conservative
Association for this town and its vicinity. Soon after seven
o'clock nearly two hundred of the principal electors were assem-
bled, when Colonel Howard was unanimously called to the
chair, and Mr. John Hancock appointed vice-chairman. Reso-
lutions expressing the objects in view—attachment to church
and state, &c. &c. were proposed and seconded by Dr. George
Taylor, Mr. Flood, John Henning, Esq., Captain Andrews,
R.N., S. H. Martin, Esq., Rev. W. Wilkinson, Captain F.
Payne, R.N., Mr. W. D.Milledge, Mr. A. Ellis, who, with the
following gentlemen, were appointed a committee for watching
the interests of the electors, and carrying into effect the
mate objects of the society :—James .Bower, Esq., George''Ar-
den, Esq., C. F. Sleggall, Esq., E. F. Colston, Esq., Captain
Hancock, R.N.,- Mr. John Williams, Mr. John Comruins, Mr.
Arthur Horsford, R. Bower, Esq., George Welsford, Esq.,
William Legg, Esq., Mr. Thomas Robinson, Mr. Richard Com-
mins, Mr. J. J. Rolls, Captain Ryder Minster, R.N., Mr.
Hallett, Mr. James Milledge, Mr. Pitman, &c.
Several gentlemen, including the chairman, addressed the
meeting at great length, which, we are happy to say, comprised
a very great majority of the wealth and intelligence of the
town. At the last registration several radicals were put on who
had not any right to be voters, in consequence of there not be-
ing any one properly to watch the registers; but that will not
be the case now; as the committee chosen are well acquainted
with every part of the town. The respectable inhabitants
anxiously hope for an election, to show their present representa-
tives how little they have expressed the sentiments of the elec.
tors of Weymouth, by the many. factious votes they have given.
The business of the meeting being concluded, the company sat
down to supper, and the evening passed with the greatest satis-
faction to all present. The healths of Mr. Parker and the
electors of Devon, Sir Robert Peel, &c. &c. were drunk with
great applause.

RULES TO BE REMEMBERED IN BLEEDING
HORSES, CATTLE, OR DOGS.

In all cases requiring a blood-letting, the jugular or greatvein
of the neck is the best to bleed from. A lancet is the best in-
strument, and the best place is about an inch below the bifurca-
tion of the vein; or four from the angle of the j&w. In all
cases of inflammation, bleed from a large orifice, for in these
cases one quart drawn quickly will do more good than .three
quarts when it flows slowly. In pinning up the orifice, separate
the skin as little as possible from the vein, lest the blood extra-
vasate and cause swelling and inflammation ; and if the neck
is to be washed, be careful not to wet the punctured pact, and
tie the horse up for an hour afterwards. I place very little
dependence on the appearance of blood after bleeding, so far
as it is a criterion of inflammation, or the state of the system
and the propriety of repeating the operation, since I find that
the texture and quantity of serum, or Unify appearance, in A'
great measure depends on the manner in, which it is drawn,
whether quick or slow, whether into a deep or shallow vessel,
and on the length of time it is allowed to stand. Bleeding is
necessary in every case of local or internal disease, except
where there is a discharge of matter or great debility. It is
useful also as a preventive on taking horses up from grass, or
when they appear dull and heavy and indifferent about feeding;
in these cases, five or six quarts may be taken from an ordinary
sized horse; but in all cases of fever and inflammation, bleed
till the pulse rise, and let its softness, not quantity drawn,
decide when enough; and the animal's strength and urgency
of the symptoms, not the blood's appearance, the necessity of
repeating it. A horse may be bled in the toe with advantage,
for inflammation of the feet and strains of the leg and coffin
joint, but all other topical bleeding, as in the mouth, eye, plate
or thigh veins, is not only useless, but dangerous. Cattle and
dogs require a ligature on the neck in order to start the
vein!; the latter may also be bled by cutting the tail and
cars. Sheep are commonly bled in the eye vein.— Small':
