R. Campbell, Esq., In bringing matters to a *factory Issue. He said that, as one of the oommi of oooperation, he bad wen the great exertion* gads by the hon. gentleman to briog about an arresgement which would relieve the company from its ties. Be had watched the punctuality and attention of Mr. Campbell at all the meetings, and believed that the plan, which in his opinion was the beg that could be proposed, was mainly owing to that rageman's aseidulty and ability. He should, thenfore, move a vote of thanks to the hon. gentlemen tot his exertions to free the oompany from its didloulties. There appears to he greet probability of PortlAnd Roads being selected as the home station of the Om* Nestern, in the event of her sale to the "Gnat ghip Company," negaciations in whioli are new and we have little doubt that Mr. Camp. boll, from bin great inlineuee in the mercantile world, will be enabled to obtain so great a desideratum foe Weymouth.

Actually be. low the wit of the raw material. On Friday, (harp A blaull itod Slietteeth, his wife, were brought before the borough magistrates on a charge of steel. Mg twine bum Mears. W. &muesli, and Cu., North Adis. The mole prisoner was in a situation of rupousibility in the rectory, but from airoumstan. ON which °anis under the observation of Mr. Charles Hoare, the manager, he wee induced on Thureilsy evening to search the primmer., end on their persona found four or live ilia of manufactured twine, and Afterwards on searulting their house die. covered forty or fifty lbs. inure of-a 'manlier twine, manufactured only by machinery, at the North NMI'. The evidence against the prisoners was complete, and the male one Was fully committed for trial the female toted under the coercion of her husband, and Wee therefore liberated. 'The most important di.. covery, however, is the receivers ;imid three persons connected by funny ties are committed. JoriaA Hommel!, is a man working on the railway, but keeps a small shop in the town, whioh his wife manages. On the diaoovery of the twine at Abbot's house the polio. proceeded to the house of Josiah Meanest!, and there found a quantity of twins oonoealed, but Hr. Hoare could not identify more than six or seven lbs. as belonging to Mears. Hounsell. The male prisoner stated that he knew nothing about the twine, he wee from home at work from morning till night, and if his wife had purchased any twine it was oantrary to his wishes, and without his knowledge or consent The wife of Janet' Hounsell wee therefore oommitted to trial, and bail refused, but the magistrates, probably, believing the story of Hotinsell,_ liberated him on bail. nem Willia sister to Hounsell's wife, a minor, was also charged with receiving gooda knowing them to have been stolen. Ann Windier proved that a quantity of twine had been brought to her by the prisoner to be wound into 4 winos balls. The whole of the twine was identified by Mr. Hoare as being the property of Hamra Houneell, and accordingly the prisoner was oommitted for trial, but liberated on bail. There can be little doubt that there discoveries will lead to others, and it is earnestly to be hoped that this abominable trail° may soon be stopped. There ere some Mill suspected, and unless they are very cunning will erelong be brought to condign punialunent.
