REVOLVING PERAMBULATOREL—Our local carriagemakers. Messrs. Stroud, are showing a choice novelty that must commend itself to those who are blest with darling babies. The patent improvements consist. in making the. body capable of turning round, irrespective of the frame, wheels, and handles, the result being that when it is desirable to turn the body of the vehicle you have only to pull the spring connected to the handle by the leather strap and turn the body to the required position, where it fixes itself firmly, thus counteracting wind, rain, dust, &c , from whatever quarter arising, thereby thoroughly p,ntecting the child from the most inclement weather. They are strong and substantial, but very easily propelled, and We learn that their manifold advantages over ordinary ones have already become so marked that the oldfashioned carriages are fast becomiag things of the past. The very pretty show of them at Messrs. Strouds' is well worth a visit to their establishment in High East-street. BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS, Monday.—Before the Mayor (W.

He was in the water as far as he could go without wetting his trousers, and he had a long stick poking the holes in the wall. Witness said " Hallo, Samuel, you can't leave off fishing," but defendant made no reply. There was a man on the path, who said when he saw him (witness) "Here's the 'bobby' coming," and the other man then walked away down towards the town. —Prisoner Was fined Ms. 6d., including costs, and allowed a week to pay in.-- John Wintar was summoned for breaking a public lamp in Fordington.— Mr. Supt.

Mansel, Arthur Bailey, a marine, of the Warrior, on remand from Monday last, was brought up for attempting suicide at Portland. It will be remembered. Sergeant Feltham  found him under the cliff, at Portland, wet through, and weeping, and he stated that his leave was up and he did not care what he did. James Rose Pearce, of Chesil. Portland, saw prisoner pass by the Cove House, about a quarter past one. He went down on the beach towards the West Bay, walked along by the water's edge, till he got nearly alongside the rocks, where the land stands out, and then he made a s alien rush into the water, but came out again, and lay down by the sea-side, when witness and two others went to see what was the matter, but could not get anything out of him for a quarter-of-an-hour, when he said he had some trouble and did not 'want to go on board the Warrior.--Prisoner said he missed the boat, and through a little drink he was greatly excited; he went along the beach, his foot slipped; his hat fell into the water, and he went in after it.—The Chairman considered the evidence insufficient to prove an attempt at suicide.—Supt. Batty said Ws. 6d. expenses had been incurred to recover the prisoner, at_ d he submitted the county ought not have to pay that.—No order made.
