Water Grist Mill.- Wareham

To be Let, and entered upon the 5th of April next, - A very desirable Water Grist Mill, called Wareham North Mill, situate in the Borough of Wareham, Dorset, with the Dwelling House, garden, outhouses, and stables, the whole lately put in complete repair at a considerable expence, and about 6 acres of Water Meadow and Pasture Ground adjoining, for many years in the occupation of Mr.James Seymer, and now of Mr.L.Pitt.
The premises have a constant supply of water, and a very extensive business has been carried on there, having the advantage of a communication with Poole in a few hours by a navigable river from the mill, and also from the Wareham South River or Frome, through the Wareham and Poole harbours.
The dwelling-house is commodious, and fir for the residence of a respectable family.
For further particulars apply (if by letter, post-paid) to Messrs.Bartlett and Son, solicitors, Wareham.




R.C.Corfe having found it hopeless to continue the Posting-House at Longstock, near Stockbridge, has quitted it, and earnestly recommends to the Nobility, Gentry, and Public, the Grosvenor Arms Hotel, in Stockbridge, where good horses and careful drivers will be found and every attention paid to their comfort and convenience.
James Knight begs to inform the public, that they will find good Accommodation, Post Houses, and Chaises, at the King's Arms Inn, by Stockbridge Gate, and on the most reasonable terms. As he has no doubt that those who travel this road will compare and judge for themselves, he has no desire to follow the not very liberal example that is set him by the management of the other Inn, of endeavouring to disparage another of the same trade.




BLANDFORD

Miss Barnes begs to offer her most grateful acknowledgements to her numerous friends and the public, for the liberal support she has received since she has been engaged in the MILLINERY and STRAW BONNET Business, and informs them, that she is reluctantly obliged from ill health to decline the same, and confidently recommends to their patronage Miss E.Jenkins, as her Successor.
Miss E.Jenkins respectfully announces to the Ladies of Blandford and its vicinity, that she has succeeded Miss Barnes in the above Concern, to which she purposes adding the DRESS-MAKING BUSINESS, and trusts, from the experience obtained by a three year practice in one of the first houses at the West End of the Town, and by a strict attention to their orders, to merit a continuance of the kind patronage so liberally bestowed on her predecessor.
N.B. Miss J. will give her personal attention to the above Business on her return from London, the first of January.




Flew Brewery
Weymouth, Dec.13, 1827.

William Devenish most respectfully informs his Friends and the Public, that he intends, from the 5th January, 1828, adding the Spirit Trade to his Establishment, and solicits a share of their kind patronage and support.

Execution

This morning, a few minutes after eight o'clock, John French, aged 50, and John Williams, aged 23, were executed in front of Newgate - the former for horse stealing and the latter for a burglary. French had been twice before tried for similar offences; the greatest exertions were made to save his life, but his character has been such that it was thought to be improper to extend Royal clemency to him. On being brought into the press-room, Mr.Sheriff Stable asked him if he had any thing to say; he replied in a firm voice, "no, sir." Mr.Baker attended him to his last moment; he said to him, "that he put his trust in God for salvation, through the mediation of Jesus Christ." Just before ascending the steps of the platform he requested to have a little water, which was complied with.
Williams had all along expected that he should not suffer, and it was not until five o'clock yesterday afternoon, when a communication was made from the Secretary of State's office, that they must both suffer, that he gave up hope. He then became desperate, and contemplated that he should be able to make his escape. He had occasion to go into the press-yard, where he was attended by one of the turnkeys, he suddenly slipped on one side, and, by means of the joints of the stone wall, attempted to reach the top of a cistern that is in the yard, about twelve feet from the ground; he had nearly attained his object, when his feet slipped and he came down prostrate on the ground; it was found that his left ancle was much injured, and he was not able to stand; a surgeon was sent for, and he was bled copiously, and the part poulticed. He was brought into the press-room without shoes, on the back of one of the officers of the prison, and there delivered to the Sheriff's yeomen, between two of whom he was carried to the gallows, and there supported by three of them, who held him up with one of their hands, and with the other clung to the chain that surrounds the drop, until the floor fell. He seemed quite lost to the world, and did not utter a single sentence. Williams struggled very much indeed, and from the ancle which was injured, the blood gushed forth in a stream.




Sir Joseph Banks's Library of Natural History, containing upwards of fourteen thousand volumes, has just come into the possession of the Trustees of the British Museum, as a posthumous benefaction.




Poole, Dec.21.

Married the 17th inst.at St.James's Church, by the Rev.Peter Wm.Jolliffe, Mr.James King, brewer, of this town, to Sophia, youngest daughter of Mr.Nichols, late of Blandford.

The anniversary of the re-establishment of Stockbridge Market was celebrated by a dinner at the Grosvenor Arms, on Thursday last. Upwards of 40 gentlemen were present, P.Green, Esq. in the chair. The dinner was served up in excellent style. After the removal of the cloth, the Chairman gave the King, and The Duke of Clarence and the rest of the Royal Family. The Chairman then stated, that it was a source of much satisfaction to him to find, that Stockbridge market had not merely answered, but had far exceeded the expectations of its most sanguine supporters; he therefore gave, Prosperity to Stockbridge Market. After which, a most excellent and appropriate song, written for the occasion, was given in good style by an amateur. The Chairman then gave the health of George Lovell, Esq. and the Magistracy of the County. Mr.Lovell acknowledged, in a very handsome manner, the honor which had been done him, and declared how much more he was indebted for the honour to the partiality of his friends, than to his deserts; the approbation however of his neighbours ever had been his aim, and he was proud to find he stood so high in their opinion : he assured the meeting he had the agricultural interest much at heart, and it ever had been, and would continue to be, his wish to be ranked amongst its supporters. Mr.Lovell then proposed, Prosperity and Independence to the Hampshire Yeomen, which was drunk with three times three. The Chairman then gave, The Duke of Wellington, the Lord Lieutenant of the County, and declared that, without entering at all into politics, he believed him to be a zealous friend to the agricultural interest; this toast was very warmly received. The Chairman also gave, The Members of the County, and every other Member of the House of Commons who nobly stood forward in defence of the agricultural interest. The Chairman's health was then proposed, and Mr.Green, in returning thanks, declared how willing he was at all times, and on every occasion to exert himself in supporting Stockbridge market, which he conceived to be highly beneficial, not merely to the neighbourhood, but to the country at large; and although he might be wanting in ability to render any effective service, yet he declared he was not deficient in zeal for the prosperity of the market. Mr.Lovell then proposed, The health of J.S.Penleaze, Esq. who he felt assured was no inconsiderable supporter of Stockbridge market, and whose conduct and character were so well known and properly appreciated in the neighbourhood, as to render it unnecessary for him to request his toast might be properly received : we could not but observe the enthusiasm which this health met with. The heath of the Rev.J.H.Hutton, and the Church, being given, the worthy gentleman observed how inadequate he felt to express his feelings on the occasion; but he considered himself inseparably connected with the interest of agriculture, and he hoped the Clergy would prove friendly to the Yeoman and the Yeoman to the Clergy. The health of Mr.George Lovell, jun. was rapturously received. Many other toasts were given, amongst which we noticed Mr.Attwood, Mr.Godwin, Mr.Cordery, Mr.John Pain, Mr.Busigny, &c. &c. - From the encreased attendence at Stockbridge market, we are induced to believe it will ere long become of very considerable interest to the agriculturalist.

Salisbury,
Monday, December 24.

The following donations were received last week by the Treasurer of the Salisbury Infirmary for the use of that institution :
From the Marquis of Lansdowne £100
From Robert Williams, Esq., M.P., Bridehead, Dorset £50

We understand that the Right Hon.the Earl of Suffolk is to succeed the Marquis of Ailesbury, as Colonel of the Wiltshire regiment of Militia.

The Marquis of Lansdowne did not preside at his Court of Lieutenancy, held in this city on Tuesday last, as was expected. A letter written by his Lordship the preceding evening, stated, that circumstances beyond his Lordship's control, made it his imperative duty not to absent himself from London and from his official business, at that moment. His Lordship expressed great pain and regret at the circumstance, but added that he had not until that morning ascertained that he could not be present, as he had intended to be, under any circumstances of personal inconvenience to himself. The chair was taken by John Benett, Esq. M.P., who was assisted in the duties of the day by F.T.Egerton, Esq., T.H.H.Phipps, Esq., Wm.Wyndham, Esq., Alex.Powell, Esq. M.P., Hon. D.P.Bouverie, Charles I. Phipps, Esq., Wm.Temple, Esq., John Rock Grosett, Esq., George Heneage Walker Heneage, Esq., and Harry Biggs, Esq.

We inserted in our last week's Journal a copy of the address presented by the inhabitants of Marlborough to the Marquess of Ailesbury, on his resignation of the Colonelcy of the Wiltshire Regiment of Militia. His Lordship was pleased to receive the same very graciously, and has returned the following reply :-
"The Marquess of Ailesbury has had the honour to receive from the Mayor of Marlborough an Address agreed to by the Mayor, Burgesses, and inhabitants of the borough and town of Marlborough, at a meeting held at the town hall on the 12th of December, expressive of their deep regret on his resignation of the Command of the Wiltshire Regiment of Militia; and the Marquess of Ailesbury takes the earliest opportunity of returning his cordial and sincere thanks to the Mayor, Burgesses, and inhabitants of the borough and town, for their kind assurances of regret and attachment to him on this occasion. The Marquis of Ailesbury will ever reflect with the highest satisfaction on the very gratifying opinion entertained and expressed by a community with whom he has been connected by so many local ties, of his conduct during the long period he has had the honour to command the Yeomanry Establishment of the county, and the Wiltshire Regiment of Militia.
"Savernake Lodge, Dec.17th, 1827."

We are happy to observe, that the formation of a Friendly Society for this country, on a plan recommended by the Rev.J.T.Becher, and most successfully carried into effect in Hampshire, Dorsetshire, and other counties, is now proposed by, and will of course receive the support of, many of the leading and influential gentlemen of Wiltshire. The objects of true patriotism cannot, we are convinced, be more effectually attained, than by holding out encouragement to industry and frugality in the subordinate classes of society, and by shewing them how easily may be obviated the degrading necessity of applying for parochial relief when suffering from the effects of sickness or old age. The regulators of the proposed institution clearly evince the benefits that must result from it; while the benevolent principle that actuates its promoters will be seen, and cannot but be duly appreciated. It is gratifying to observe that many gentlemen of the first respectability, resident in different parts of the county, have come forward to propose the Society.

The second ball this season, which took place at our assembly rooms on Wednesday last, went off with that eclat which the admirable system upon which the balls are conducted cannot fail to ensure. The excellent band from Bath was engaged upon this occasion, and the room presented a brilliant display of beauty and fashion. Upwards of 120 were present, among whom were - the Right.Hon.Lady Bridport; the Hon.Captain Bouverie and his lady; the Hon.and Rev.F.P.Bouverie and lady; Lady Hulse and family; Lady Rose and her daughters; Sir John D.Astley, Bart. M.P. and Miss Astley; Sir Edward Poore, Bart.; Sir Henry Webb; Sir John Duckworth; Lieut.Gen.Slade and lady; Gen.Buller, and Arthur Buller, Esq.; Alex.Powell, Esq. M.P. and family; Mr.and Mrs.Bolton; Mrs.Wadham Wyndham; William Wyndham, Esq. and family; Miss W.Portman; Major Rose; Joseph May, Esq. and family; Dr.and Mrs.Fowler; Mrs.and Miss.Greatheed; Mrs.and Miss Seton; Mrs.and Miss Biggs; Fred.Slade, Esq.; Eyre Coote, Esq.; Charles Pearson, Esq.; Capt.& Miss Huntley; Miss Hussey; A.Hussey, Esq.; E.Hussey, Esq.; J.Hussey, Esq.; Miss Hinxman; Charles Hinxman, Esq.; Ed.Hinkman, jun. Esq.; Mrs.and two Miss Salisburys; Captain Macdonald; and numerous other distinguished persons.
