The Wellington Column
The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the Wellington Column, on Black Down Hill, Somerset, took place on Monday se'nnight. The spot selected is about three miles from Wellington; it commands an extensive view of the surrounding country, and the English and Bristol Channels are both visible from it. The first stone was laid by
Lord Somerville, who delivered an appropriate speech on the occasion; his Lordship was accompanied by
Sir.T.D.Ackland, Bart, M.P.,
Wm.Dickinson, Esq. M.P.,
Sir T.Lethbridge, Bart.,
W.A.Sandford, Esq. and many other Gentlemen of the first respectability. Three troops of the Somerset Yeomanry Cavalry kept the ground. The artillery fired ten rounds. A fine band of music attended and played God Save the King, Rule Britannia, &c. succeeded by the shouts and plaudits of about 10,000 spectators. The procession returned at five o'clock to Wellington, where grand dinners were served up at the inns, and the whole town presented a most gratifying scene of rapturous joy and festivity.- The plan of the Pillar is triangular, the basement of which is formed by a circular flight of steps, 80 feet in diameter, and 8 feet in height, divided by 3 blocks, projecting from the angle of the base of the pillar. These blocks are to be appropriated to dwellings for an English, Irish, and Scotch veteran. From the circular basement rises the triangular plinth of the pillar, presenting three faces for an inscription in different languages. The angles are ornamented with brass cannon, selected from those taken at the memorable battle of Waterloo, and presented by the
Prince Regent. The plinth supports the shaft of the pillar, 95 feet in height, diminishing from 17 feet in diameter, to eleven at the top. A perforated circular pedestal, ornamented with wreaths, surmounts the pillar, supporting a Colossal statue, in cast iron, of the illustrious
Duke of Wellington, in the attitude of commanding, represented in the dress he wore at the glorious battle of Waterloo. The total height, including the figure, is 140 feet. An entrance to the pillar is contrived by a concealed flight of steps, and a door-way opens to stairs in the centre of the pillar, conducting to the circular pedestal under the figure, through the perforations of which both seas will be distinctly visible.- A fair is appointed to be held annually near the column, on the 18th of June, to commemorate the glorious victory achieved by British valour at Waterloo; and a prize for Wrestlers, called the "Shaw prize" will be given at this fair. The prize is so named in memory of
Shaw the life guardsman, who distinguished himself at the battle of Waterloo by the numerous deadly blows he dealt amongst the enemies of his country; he was a Somersetshire man by birth, and formerly a noted wrestler.- Four new brass 6-pounders, which ornament the column, and are a present from the
Prince Regent, will be discharged annually at the fair, in honour of the day.
The Cock-road gang have lately made their appearance in some of the villages around Bath. During the early part of last week, between twelve and one at night, two men who are placed as guards in the yard belonging to the factory of
Messrs.Joyce and
Mitchell, at Freshford, were alarmed by three of these villains, who were attempting to break into the factory; the guards, on hearing them, made up to the spot, but the men escaped; two of them went off on horses, which were concealed in a lane close by, and a third was taken with a cart and horse, and a crow bar and some candles were found in the cart. One of the windows of the factory was wrenched out, and evidently with the crow-bar found in the cart, as the end of it corresponded with an indention upon the window-ledge. Stones were thrown at the pursuers by the party, and one of them was much bruised. The offender taken is
Thomas Leir, of Cock-road, a well known character.
Mr.Meeds, of Mavis Enderby, in Lincolnshire, had a goose, which died a few days ago, after having been the property of the family for fifty-four years.
Esther Crozier, the Female Pedestrian - Thursday morning, at seven o'clock, this Amazon commenced performing her arduous task of walking 1000 miles in 20 successive days, at the Washway, Brixton, near the two-mile stone on the Croydon road, going three quarters of a mile out and in.
Portsmouth, Nov.1.
The wind having at length come round, to the westward, the numerous distressed ships, so long detained in the chaps of the Channel, will be enabled to make good their voyages; between 200 and 300 of these vessels have passed by in the course of the week, and the Admiralty cruisers, which were dispatched to relieve them , have returned.
Rear Admiral Sir Home Popham will shortly proceed from hence to Jamaica, in the Andromache, to take command of that station, in the room of
Rear Admiral J.E.Douglas.
On Tuesday arrived the Hydra troop ship from Newfoundland; and five transports, with part of the 60th Regiment from Jamaica, and the 100th Regiment from St.John's.

Roper Weston, Esq. Mayor, in the chair, for the purpose of taking into consideration the Company's plan and proposals for lighting this town with gas; when it was unanimously resolved that the Church should be previously accommodated, which is to be carried into effect with all possible dispatch.
The anniversary of the King's accession to the Throne was observed here on Saturday last with every mark of loyalty. Their Royal Highnesses the
Duke and Duchess of Gloucester gave a grand dinner, in honour of the day, to

Dispatch of business is well exemplified by the following circumstance which has occurred here :- The Anna, one of the London traders, from Chamberlin's Wharf, sailed from thence last Thursday morning, and arrived at Poole by four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day.
By the Swallow schooner which arrived here on Tuesday last from Newfoundland, we regret to find there is every reason to apprehend that the inhabitants of that colony are likely to suffer great distress from want of provisions during the ensuing winter. At the time of the sailing of the Swallow, provisions had already become scarce; and the surplus population was little less than last year, when their removal became a matter of parliamentary consideration.

On Wednesday night last the windows of
Mr.Joseph Chilton[?], under the Long Rooms, were broken open by some person, apparently with the design of entering the same and committing some depredation.

On Tuesday last a young woman was brought before the Magistrates of this town, on suspicion of being the mother of an infant child found murdered in St.Mary's Church-yard on the morning of the 12th of September last. She was remanded for another examination on Tuesday next.
Salisbury,
Monday, November 3, 1817.
Her Majesty's visit to Bath continues fixed for this day; the last relay of horses is ordered to be ready at Atford at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Bath has never been so full at this early part of the season as at present; and all ranks are preparing to receive the Royal Visitors in the most respectful manner. The Mayor and Corporation have determined to distinguish the evening of her Majesty's arrival by an illumination of the Guildhall and other public buildings, an example which will doubtless be followed throughout the city. The open space of ground above New Sydney Place, heretofore disfigured by gravel and marle pits, has been levelled and drained, laid with new gravel, and, facing the Queen's intended residence, planted with shrubs. The air of that part of Bath, in which her Majesty will reside, is not considered the most wholesome for general patients, but it is the softest; and the whole neighbourhood is one of the most magnificent in Europe, Pulteney-street, which leads into Sydney-place, is longer than Portland-place, London, with the advantage of being built of stone.
The Wiltshire regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Colonel the
Marquis of Bath, terminated six days permanent duty on Tuesday last at Devizes. The conduct of the regiment while on duty, both in and out of quarters, was such as to give the greatest satisfaction to their commanding Officer; and the rapid improvement made during their short period of service, proves the advantages arising from this mode of performing their military duty. Previous to the separating of the troops, a ball and supper were given at the Town Hall, by the Officers of the regiment, at which all the beauty and fashion of the neighbourhood assembled, and the most animated festivity prevailed till a late hour. The splendid company on this occasion amounted to nearly 300 persons. Amongst those of distinction present were the
Marquis of Bath, the
Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne, the
Earl of Aylesbury (late Colonel of the regiment),
Lord Arundell,
Lord Viscount Weymouth,
Richard Long, Esq. M.P.,
Paul Methuen, Esq. M.P.,
Joshua Smith, Esq. M.P.,
Thomas Calley, Esq. M.P.,
Edward Baker, Esq.,
John Gordon, Esq. &c. &c. &c. A most elegant supper was served up by
Mr.Hart, of the Bear Inn, who obtained deserved praise for the taste which he displayed.
Saturday the 25th ult.being the anniversary of the King's accession, the Officers and several troops of the North Somerset Yeomanry Cavalry and Rifle Corps met their highly respected Commanding Officer,
Col.Horner, at York-House, Bath, where a most excellent dinner was provided in honour of the day, and many loyal and appropriate toasts were drunk. It was resolved at the dinner, that a Cup shall in future be given by the Officers, to be annually run for at the Bath Races by Members of the Regiment, and to be entitled "The North Somerset Yeomanry Cup."
The sixth anniversary of the Weymouth Dorcas Society was holden on Saturday last, at the Guildhall. The
Hon. Lady Murray obligingly took the chair on the occasion. By means of this institution, poor females, during the period of confinement, have an allowance of 10s each; the loan of a pack of linen; and upon its return, the donation of a suit of clothes for the child. During the last year 107 females have received the benefits of this society, and from its establishment 456. The Committee embraces some of the most respectable ladies of the town; and her
Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte of Saxe Coburg contributes £10 per annum to the funds of this useful establishment.
A very numerous meeting, in aid of the Methodist Missions carried on in foreign parts, was held at Melksham on Tuesday the 22d ult. Appropriate resolutions were adopted, and
Mr.G.Pocock, jun. of Bristol, highly gratified the meeting with an exhibition of a large globe, on which was depicted a map of the world, and he conducted his auditors in an aerial voyage round it : he described, in a very interesting manner, the dark places of the earth, and those illuminated by the Gospel : the ocular view of such immense tracts lying in Egyptian night exceedingly affected many present with the warmest emotions of sympathy for the "perishing heathen," and a liberal collection was made to promote the purposes of the institution.
James Heaviside, Esq. having resigned his situation of M.C. at the Kingston Assembly Rooms, in Bath, an election of a gentleman to fill the office is appointed to take place on Thursday next.
We hear that a remarkably fine-toned organ (the bequest of the late
Mrs.G.Troke), built by
Nicholls, of London, is to be opened in Westbury Church, in this county, on Sunday the 9th instant, by
Mr.Daniel, of Frome, accompanied by a select choir of singers.
We are requested to caution the public against a person by the name of
Robert Wright, who was at Weymouth a few days since, and represented himself as having lately been Captain of the merchant ship, Favourite, of Greenock, which, on her homeward passage from the Island of Malta, caught fire on the 16th of August last, in a storm of thunder and lightning, off the Burlin Rocks, on the coast of Portugal. His wife was with him, and he had a certificate, which purported to be signed by the mayor of Falmouth, attesting the truth of the above statement, and of his having been landed at that port by the ship Osborne, of Hull. A considerable sum was collected at Weymouth, for the purpose of assisting this man; but, fortunately, before the money was given to him, it was suspected that his certificate was a forgery, and it was intended to have detained him until further enquires should be made; he however found means to escape in the evening. He was a middle aged man, and had received an injury in one of his arms, which he said was occasioned by the lightning.
