The first meeting of the Melksham Foresters, was held on Tuesday last; and among the company we observed, Mr.Hale, Lady Theodosia and Miss Hale, the Ladies Burke, Mrs.Sergt.Merewether, Miss and Mr.H.Merewether, Mrs and Miss Houlton, Capt Houlton, Mr and Mrs.J.B.Fuller, Mr and Mrs.N.Fuller, Mr and Mrs.Newman Rogers, Mr.Pitt, Mr.Estcott, Major Olivier, Mr and Mrs.T.Bucknall Estcourt, Mr and Mrs.Heathcote, &c. &c. - Miss Hale and Miss Merewether were close competitors for the ladies prize, both of whom displayed great skill and knowledge of the science of archery; but Miss Hale was the successful candidate. The gentleman's prize was also well contested between Mr.H.Merewether and Mr.Estcott - the latter being the winner. - The sport began at two, and continued until half-past four; when the company sat down to dinner; after which the sport was renewed, and continued until dusk. There was a large number of spectators.
Caution to Overseers and Churchwardens
There appears to be a growing disposition throughout the country, not only to prevent any further feasting at the parish expense, but also to object to all parish payments which are not to the letter, legal. - An appeal was tried at the Warminster sessions last week against the accounts of the late overseers of the parish of Yatesbury; the result of which was , that three several sums of �24 12 6d, �30 16s 2d, and �73 18s 6d, were disallowed. - Mr.Gunning, for the respondants, took an objection to the notice, contending that the Act of Parliament required that notice of appeal should be given at the first sessions after the accounts had been passed; and that as the appellant had not conformed to the statute, he was decidedly out of Court. The Magistrates were inclined to agree with the learned gent., and to dismiss the case at once; but Mr.Bingham, for the appellant, submitted, that although the accounts were allowed on the 30th of March, and that the next sessions were on the 9th of April; yet as the respondents did not deliver the books to their successors until the 27th of April, the present was the first practicable sessions to appeal to. He referred to the case of Rex v. Thackwell, 4 Barn and Cress.62, which the Bench held to be conclusive. - The case then proceeded, and the first sum of �24 12s 6d, which, when the accounts were passed, was stated to have been paid to Mr.Willett, for the maintenance of a lunatic pauper, it was proved, was not paid until the 28th of May, a period of nearly two months after the respondents were out of office. The payment, therefore, could not be supported. The sum of �30 16s 2d, was for a church rate, and the sum of �73 18s 6d, for a highway rate - charges which proved fatal to the accounts, as overseers cannot have the slightest pretence for debiting the poor rate with either church or highway rates. - Mr.Gunning said he was the more urgent to press his objection to the notice, as he feared he should not succeed in proving the legality of the charges. It could not be disputed that the parish was originally responsible for the sum of �24 12s 6d, for the maintenance of a pauper lunatic, yet as his clients had omitted to pay it during the time they were in office, he apprehended they must now be saddled with the expense; but * * * With regard to the other sums, although they certainly were not legally chargeable to the poors rates, it would scarcely be credited, that it had been the custom of the parish from time immemorial; and the present appellant himself, when he held the office of overseer, had debited the poors rates with similar charges. - After some other observations - the Court quashed the allowance of the accounts, and refused a case for the Court above, expressing a hope that the respondents would learn to keep better accounts in future.
Sir E.H.Alderson and Sir John Patteson, his Majesty's Judges of Assize for the Western Circuit, arrived at Winchester on Tuesday last, and opened their commission. On Wednesday after attending Divine Service, they proceeded to business - Mr.Justice Alderson, as the senior Judge, sitting at Nisi Prius, and Mr.Justice Patteson presiding in the Crown Court. The calendar contains the names of 15 prisoners only; and it was not expected that the civil proceedings would occupy much time. - The business of the Wilts Assize will commence on Monday at Salisbury. The following is a list of the prisoners for trial, and the offences with which they are charged :-
Nathaniel Smith, a bankrupt, charged with concealing part of his personal estate, to the value of �26 and upwards, with intent to defraud his creditors at Warminster.

There has not been so small a number of prisoners for trial at our Summer Assizes, since the year 1811 . - During the last ten years, the prisoners at the Summer Assizes, have amounted on the average to 48 - the largest number being (in 1827) 67, and the smallest (in 1831) 30; and we feel great pleasure in stating, that our county prisons, in the aggregate, contain, at present, a far less number of inmates, than at any other time during the above period.
The price of Lambs at Stockbridge lamb fair yesterday, may be stated at from 18s to 24s per head, with the exception of one very prime lot, belonging to Mr.Brewer of Wallop, which realized 26s 6d, being, on the average, a rise of 2s per head on the prices of last year; and the lambs were inferior in quality.
It is gratifying to find that, as respects the whole of the Western District, the Factory Commissioners express themselves in the highest terms as to the health, morals, and general condition of the children employed in Factories; and further state their conviction that, as regards this district, the proposed legislative interference appears to them to be unnecessary.
It will be seen by advertisement, that a meeting is to be held at the Town hall on the 22d inst., for the purpose of establishing a Mechanics Institution in Devizes, which we have no doubt, will be very numerously attended.
The Church Missionary Society held their anniversary at the Council-chamber, Salisbury, on Monday last; the very Rev.the Dean of Salisbury in the chair, who introduced the business of the day, in a speech corresponding with the important occasion. The meeting was very respectably attended, and the observations of the different speakers were characterized by good sense. The collection was liberal - the great object of the meeting appearing to be duly appreciated by the audience.
The rector of Devizes, having ascertained the wishes of his congregation on the subject, has determined that divine service shall in future be performed in the parish church of St.John every Sunday evening instead of the afternoon; and a liberal subscription has been entered into for the purpose of lighting the church with gas during the winter months.
The Rev.Thomas Wilkins, Clerk, M.A., has been presented by the Dean and Chapter to the vicarage of Collingborne Kingstone, vacant by the death of the Rev.Dr.Newbolt.
We perceive by an advertisement in our paper of today, that two of those delightful and newly-erected houses, forming "Lansdowne Grove," in this town, are to be let. - Amid the various and great improvements which have been made in Devizes during the last ten years, we know of none which reflect greater credit on the spirit of the proprietor, or on the taste and skill of the architect, then the erection of those houses, and the disposal of the ground attached to them.
On Saturday last, a bird, apparently of the Pelican species, was shot in the neighbourhood of Chippenham, which was seen in the act of diving for fish in the river Avon, a few minutes before it was killed. It measures across the wings from tip to tip nearly four feet, and from the beak to the end of the tail about three feet. It is in the possession of Mr.Charles Bailey, of Chippenham.
About a month or five weeks since, a hogshead of cider, and a few days subsequently, two chests of tea, were stolen from the canal wharf, in Devizes; and no tidings of either could be heard until last Friday week, when a conversation was overheard, which led to the suspicion that both the tea and the cider had been taken to the house of Mr.Bolter, a retail beer dealer at Urchfont. A search warrant was accordingly obtained, and nearly the whole of the tea was found in a box in an upper room of the house; the cask which contained the cider, was sent, emptied of its contents, to the house of a neighbour. Mrs.Bolter and her daughter-in-law, were immediately apprehended; George Bolter (her son) effected his escape, but was on Sunday last captured at Whiteparish, and was on Monday taken to our Old Bridewell, to which prison his wife and mother had previously been committed. Bolter, it is suspected, has long been a receiver of stolen goods, and he acknowledged that he knew of a hundred robberies, but he would sooner die than split : he had never worked (he said) and never would. There was every convenience in his mother's house for the secreting of property, and several articles, stolen some time since from Mr.Jonathan Rogers of this town, were discovered there. The cider, it is stated, was thrown into the canal, and drawn by a rope to the bridge on the London road, where a cart was waiting, into which it was put and taken direct to Urchfont - Isaac Dowse has also been committed to out Old Bridewell, on suspicion of stealing the tea and cider. [The above parties are now undergoing an examination before the Magistrates.
At a petty sessions held in Devizes on Tuesday last, John Oram, a licensed beer dealer of Chirton, was convicted in the penalty of 40s and costs, for drawing beer, on Sunday during the time of divine service.
A man of the name of Williams has been twice examined before our County Magistrates at Salisbury, for brutally beating, and assaulting his father-in-law, Farmer Hooper, of Rollestone, in this county, and remanded for further examination, Hooper being too ill to attend to give evidence against him; in fact, he is pronounced to be in great danger by his medical attendants. It appeared Hooper and the prisoner had been to Salisbury together on the 18th of June, and on their return, the latter had some words with his wife, when Hooper interfering to prevent mischief, he was violently beaten about the head and various parts of the body with the butt end of a large whip. It was only about a month ago that Hooper's dwelling house and premises were destroyed by fire at Winterborne Stoke. [Williams has since been committed for trial at the Assizes.
On Wednesday evening Jacob Hack, a woodman, of Mottisfont, Hants, who had been going round the neighbouring villages for the purpose of collecting a little money , on his way home through Broughton, about nine o'clock, called at a beer shop, where he met with two or three bad characters named John Hampton, Wm.Lode, and Rebecca Saxe. Hack staid till about half past nine, and had not proceeded more than half a mile from Broughton, when he heard persons running, which induced him to turn into a wheat field to avoid them, where he was overtaken by two men, one of whom knocked him down with by a heavy blow with a stick. These men proved to be Hampton and Lode, one of whom fell on Hack, pulled his round frock over his head, and took from his pocket a purse, containing 6 sovereigns and some silver. Hack cried out murder, when one of the men stuffed his hand into his mouth to prevent his making any noise. They then ran back towards Broughton, followed by Hack, who called up the constable, by whom they were pursued and overtaken, when Hampton pulled out a case knife, swore he would murder the first person who touched him; and both he and Lode pelted the constable with large stones, until they escaped into a plantation, and could not be found again. Rebecca Saxe who was with the two men before and after the robbery, has been apprehended, but Lode and Hampton have not yet been discovered.
Bristol Cathedral
We regret to state that this beautiful structure has sustained considerable injury by the fall of an arched buttress which supported the south-west angle of the tower. It came down with a large crash on Monday afternoon, between 4 and 5 o'clock; some of the masses of stone which formed the buttress fell on the corner of the house adjoining (used as the Recruiting District office), and did considerable damage; and, what is still more unfortunate, the pinnacle of the tower, deprived of its support, has been shaken out of its perpendicular, and a fissure is observable from the battlements to nearly the roof of the transept. A notice has been issued from the Hon.and Rev.Lord Wm.Somerset, the prebendary in residence, announcing the discontinuance of divine service at the Cathedral, in consequence of apprehended danger. - Bristol Journal.
A pleasing circumstance has recently come under our notice, as connected with the manufactory of Messrs.Sheppards, of Frome, which the Factory Commissioners have recently visited. In that extensive concern, a large, well supplied library has been for a considerable period established, from which the children engaged on the premises are supplied with books; whilst the duty of instructing those who cannot read devolves upon the foreman of each shop of work-room. Thus is kept alive, from Sunday to Sunday, that desire for knowledge which is generally imparted to the infant mind during the short period of their receiving instruction at Sabbath Schools. We believe there is not a single child employed on these premises but can read.
On Sunday (!) week there was a revel at Old Sodbury, and a number of persons having met at a beer shop, a quarrel arose, and a fight between two young men, named Rummins and Gribble, ensued, which lasted about an hour and a half, when Rummins fell violently to the ground, and on being raised was discovered to be quite dead !
On Saturday night last, about half-past eleven o'clock, as Mr.Penny, a butcher, and Edward Lappage, a gardener, were going from Bath market to their homes at Twerton, they were accosted near the Angel Inn, just over the Old Bridge, by a man without a hat, coat, or waistcoat, who affected to be drunk, and insisted upon shaking hands with them. He shook hands with Lappage, and as Penny was holding out his hand for the same purpose, he received a tremendous blow, which felled him to the earth, and he was covered with blood; a whistle was now heard, when several more of the gang appeared. Both were brutally beaten and robbed, Penny of his hat, pocket handkerchief, and 6s, and Lappage of half a sovereign, 4s, his hat, and handkerchief. Two of the supposed culprits were on Monday brought before the county Justices acting for the division of Bath, and were committed for further examination.
On Tuesday night, an audacious robbery was perpetrated on the premises of Mr.Davey, at Corston. The following are some of the articles stolen :- Notes and cash to the amount of �107; a mahogany writing-desk, which contained several curious old gold and silver coins; two fowling pieces; a rifle; various plate, among which are 6 tea, 4 salt, and 2 table spoons; silver butter beat, ditto pepper-box; 2 pocket pistols; and part of Mr.D's wearing apparel. The larder was also plundered of its contents. A reward of �30 is offered for the conviction of the offenders.
