WEYMOUTH.

George Bankes, Esq. the Recorder, the Worshipful the Mayor (John Martin, Esq.), the Aldermen, and principal burgesses, walked in procession in their robes of office to the Church, before whom the Rev. Willoughby Brassey preached an excellent sermon. Immediately after the service, his Lordship set out for Exeter.

Saturday, March 19.

The new organ lately built by Mr.Cranston, jun. of Ringwood, is purchased by Mr.Wheaton, for the Independent Chapel. which we understand is to he opened on Sunday evening next by an eminent professor.

On Wednesday last about 300 of the depot from the Isle of Wight, marched into our barracks.

On the 12th inst. died, aged 77, universally beloved and regretted, Charles Powell Hamilton, Esq., Admiral of the Red.
Monday died at Avon, near Christchurch, aged 36 years, Mary, the wife of Mr.Stephen Groves.
Tuesday died at Christchurch, aged 19 years, John, son of Mr.John PilIgrem, of the Ship Inn.
Thursday died at Alresford, Mary, wife of the late Mr.John Dancaster.
A few days since died Mr.John Mears, a respectable farmer, of Durley near Bishop's Waltham, who last year obtained a medal from the Society of Arts for a bonnet, manufactured under his inspection from grass plait. The introduction of this manufacture has already diminished the poor's rates of the parish of Durley , and it is worthy the attention of every parish, as affording excellent employment for the poor.

The extreme sentence of the law was this morning carried into execution on John Smith (aged 20), James Dawes (aged 30), and Wm.Dawes (aged 22.) Smith, whose real name was Hughes, and who had been convicted of horse-stealing, was a gipsey, and had always led a wandering life. He professed to be a rat-catcher and basket maker, but subsisted chiefly on plunder. His depredations were not confined to one county or to any singIe species of property. He acknowledged the offence for which he suffered, and the juctice of his sentence.- James and Wm. Dawes, were brothers, and convicted of burglary, attended with considerable personal violence. They were labourers, and resided at Binsted, in this county. Both of them acknowledged their guilt, and stated that the offence was planned and committed by themselves alone, and that a letter found on the premises was written by James Dawes, and left there for the purpose of exciting suspicion against another person, whose name was on it, but who, they declared, had not the most distant knowledge of the transaction. From the time of their condemnation, all the above unhappy men conducted themselves in a manner becoming their melancholy situation. They paid the greatest attention to the instructions of the Chaplain, deeply bewailing their past transgressions, and earnestly seeking forgiveness for the sake of their Redeemer. The chief canses of their ruin were Sabbath-breaking and Poaching, and the elder Dawes more than once observed that although he had frequently made large sums of money by the latter practice, it never did him any good; it was always got rid of he knew not how.

CAUTION.-A correspondent at Christchurch states that two men are traveling through the country with a horse and cart, fraudulently offering cheese for sale: they introduce a scoop, give a taste of cheese of excellent quality, and ask a price which appears to be exceedingly reasonable. but on the examination of a cheese lately so purchased it was discovered that the part possessing such good quality had been artfully introduced into a part of a cheese of a considerably inferior quality, and not worth half the price given.

Several dogs have in the last few days been destroyed in Portsmouth and its neighbourhood, upon strong suspicion of being infected with hydrophobia; and the Magistrates have issued a public request that all dogs should be kept confined for two months.

Southampton,

On Thursday the 10th inst. Died in London, aged 25, after a lingering illness, which she bore with Christian fortitude, Mary Ann, second daughter of Mr.Joseph Whitcher, of Woolston Farm, near Itchen.

On Wednesday evening a meteor was observed here for some time, passing slowly from S. to N. Notwithstanding its immense distance, it was extremely bright and sparkling.

Agreeably, to the earnest solicitations of his numerous friends, Mr.Thompson, Surgeon Dentist, who has had the honour of being patronized by the Royal Family, the late Princess Charlotte of Saxe Cobourg, and R.Keate, Esq. surgeon, is arrived from Bath and Clifton.- W. T. will attend at No 12, Orchard-street, Above Bar, in this town, (for his practice only), from twelve till three o'clock. Sundays and Monday excepted. T. cannot devote more time in this case, as the arrangements of the coneerns and plans of the Noblemen and Gentlemen his Father was concerned with, devolves on him.

In extraction and regulating - there is not a single case in which T. has not been successful. -Thompson's Royal Restorative Tooth Powder is used at the Palace.-Best Tincture of Myrrh, &c. &c.

Salisbury,
Monday, March 21, 1825.

We feel great satisfaction in having it in our power to announce that there is now every prospect of a silk manufactory being established in this city for the employment of the poor. A meeting of the inhabitants was held on Wednesday at our Council Chamber, to receive the report of a committee previously appointed to consider of measures for the purpose, when it appeared that a negociation had been entered into with a gentleman of London on the suhject. A subscription was immediately commenced, for the purpose of carrying the measure into full effect; and we understand there is every reason to hope that it will meet with general support.

SALISBURY THEATRE.- Liston closed his engagement of four nights' performance here on Wednesdav evening, and afforded infinite amusement on each occasion to a genteel and numerous audience. Although his inimitable acting will certainly be missed in the succeeding performances, yet will his attraction prove beneficial to our regularly-engaged company, whose talents have been thereby elicited to great advantage before crowded houses; and we are happy to find it is universally admitted, that those talents are such as will not only do justice to, but shine, in every department of the drama. - The last new comedy, " A Woman never vext," which was so long a favourite in the metropolis, is to be represented this evening; and the performances of Friday are to be patronized by Lord Arundell and the Salisbury Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry.

Mr.N.Webster will commence on Monday next, at our assembly rooms, a course of highly interesting lectures on experimental philosophy, explaining the principles of mechanics, pneumatics, and hydraulics. We hear from undoubted authority, that these lectures have given the utmost satisfaction in every place where they have been delivered, especially to those persons whose minds are prone to scientific researches. Aided by an extensive apparatus, Mr.W. illustrates his subjects in the clearest and most complete manner; and we understand that upon one subject. in particular, he excites an uncommon degree of interest, that is, in shewing the origin and power of the steam-engine, with all its modern improvements.

Two petitions to Parliament have lately been agreed to at public meetings convened at Chippenham by the Bailiff: the one (to both Houses) againt further concessions to the Catholics; the other (to the Commons) praying a repeal of the Assessed Taxes.

A contrivance of considerable importance has lately been invented by Mr.Sperring, of Buckland, near Frome, to relieve the wheel-horse, of a two-wheel carriage going down hill. It was publicly tried at Frome on Wednesday the 9th inst. before scientIfic gentlemen, and others, and found to answer the purpose to their entire satisfaction. It takes the whole weight from the horse's back without removing the load; it very much retards the motion of carriages, without being in any way connected with the wheels; it is very simple in its construction, and may be altered at the top or bottom of a hill in in a few seconds, with great ease. It may be attached to any cart at small expense, and may be disengaged from the carriage, if not wanted, in two minutes.

BIRTH. -On Sunday the 13th jnst. the lady of George Sampson, Esq., surgeon, of a son.
Monday was married at Dorchester, by the Rev.Richard Cutler, the Rev.James Durrant, of the Countess of Huntingdon's connexion, to Amelia, second daughter of Mr.Hazard, confectioner, of Dorchester.

On Saturday last died, in the prime of life, much respected and beloved by all who knew him, Mr.William Giles, second son of Mr.Robert Giles, of Langford, near this city.

A much talked of fight between two celebrated Dorsetshire pugilists, Lane and Barrett, is expected to take place the first week in April, on Chettle Down. Both men are in high condition, and a severe contest is anticipated. Barrett is a fine young man, and a powerful hitter, notwithstanding, which betting is two to one in favour of Lane.

An Incorrigible.- A youth named Jas.Price (who was about a twelvemonth since sentenced at Devizes sessions to 3 months' imprisonment for a theft) was tried at our late assizes before Mr.Justice Park, (with a lad named Martin) on a charge of breaking into and stealing property from the house of Mr.Jas.MacIlquhan at Melksham: it appearing on the trial that he was the receiver of the stolen property, and not the stealer, he was acquitted and Martin was sentenced to death. Price was discharged from Fisherton Gaol on Thursday se'nnight, and on the very next evening he stole a. plough share, and with it broke into the shop of Mr.Cleaver, at Tilshead (through a wall 14 inches thick) and stole a variety of articles. He was apprehended while wearing some of the stolen apparel, and is fully committed to take his trial.

The shop of Mr.Plaister, linen draper, of Lacock, was entered on the night of Monday the 7th inst. and robbed of a quantity of goods. Early on the following Wednesday morning a man was seen coming out of a wood at Rudloe, in the parish of Box, with a bundle; and being pursued, he stabbed a man who seized him in two or three places. He was secured, and Mr.Plaister has owned the goods contained in the bundle.

Committed to Fisherton Gaol :-.James Price, charged with breaking open the shop of Henry Cleaver, at Tilshead, in the night of the 11th instant, and stealing from thence various wearing apparel. - David Mead, charged with stealing in the night of the 8th inst. about 60lbs. of wool from the workshops of T.W.Ledyard, Esq. at North Bradley. - Henry Ranger, charged with stealing 8 eggs from Jas.Kellow, at Durrington.

CITY OF NEW SARUM.
AT a General Meeting of the Inhabitants, held at the Council Chamber, on the 16th day of
March, 1825,
The MAYOR in the Chair;

The Report of a Committee appointed at a former meeting being read, it appeared that measures have been adopted for the immediate ESTABLISHMENT of a SILK MANUFACTORY in this City, at a comparatively trifling expence, with a flattering prospect of success, whereby a great reduction of the Poors' Rates may be reasonably anticipated, and the comfort of the poorer classes be much promoted.
In order to effectuate that benevolent object, a Committee of Gentlemen was appointed, and a Subscription commenced, the Books for which are open at both the Banks, in which all those who are interested in the welfare of the City are requested to insert their names without delay.
Subscriptions are also received by the Worshipful the Mayor, who has accepted the office of Treasurer.
J.M.HOODING, Secretary of the Committee.
