Winchester
Saturday, December 24.
A general meeting of the inhabitants of the city and suburbs having unanimously resolved, "that it would be a highly proper and practicable measure to light the streets with oil gas," and "that it might be accomplished efficiently and without risk of loss by a company,"it has therefore been proposed to form an association to erect a gas-holder, tanks, &c. and to lay down pipes, for the purpose of lighting the High-street, and afterwards to extend the benefits of the measure to the rest of the city and suburbs as expeditiously as may be found practicable. It is estimated that �2500. will be fully sufficient to carry the plan into effect, which sum is intended to be raised in shares of �25. It has been justly observed that the introduction of gas lights is one of the most capital improvements which the arts of life have ever received from philosophical research and sagacity; for, from the more brilliant manner in which our streets may become lighted by this improvement, a greater degree of security both in person and property by every class of society may justly be anticipated. Lectures on this subject were ably delivered to a very respectable company, by Mr.Addams, on Monday and Tuesday last, at St. John's House, during which we could not but notice the decided advantage of oil gas over that of coal, by its giving in proportion to its quantity a much greater degree of light.

Southampton
Saturday, December 24.
The Banks of Messrs.Maddison, and Messrs.AtherIey, and Co. experienced a trifling run in the early part of the week, and those gentlemen were found well prepared to meet any demand on them. A strong sensation was excited by Messrs.Kellow and Pritchard not re-opening their Bank on Thursday for the payment of their one-pound notes, as they. had advertized : in lieu of their re-opening, however, on that day, a hand�biII appeared stating that by the advice of their friends the Bank would not re-open until they were fully prepared to meet all demands on them, and pledging themselves that this wouId take place at an early period. A great deal was said during the first moments of the disappointment being felt; but the general opinion now prevalent is, that the Bank will pay 20s. in the pound, and the public confidence in their notes is in a great measure restored: indeed, the honourable character which both these gentlemen ever bore as men of business, fully warrants the giving them every credit for security.
The Committee of the Southampton Savings Bank held their 40th quarterly meeting at the Guildhall on Monday last, present the Right Hon.Wm.Sturges Bourne, M.P.; Francis L. Beckford, Esq.; Rev.Samuel Kent; Rev.Thomas Mears; Abel Rous Dottin, Esq; Rev.Wm.Joseph Geo. Phillips; Robert Sheddon, Esq. The accounts of the institution, made up to the present month, were examined, and it appeared that the deposits made in the last quarter amounted to �2378. 5d. and the sums returned to depositors to �1709. 14s. 2d. The present number of depositors is 1359, and the funds of the institution amount to �60,179. 8s. 5d.
On Monday last was married by the Rev.Thos.Mears, at All Saints Church, Southampton, the Rev.T.Vicery, of Yeovil, Somersetshire, to Mrs.E.Humby, widow of the late Mr.Humby, builder, of Wilton, Wilts.
On Monday last died, after an illness of seven weeks, Mr.John Bradford, watch-maker, aged 34.
On Friday the 16th inst. died. in an advanced age, Wm.Seward, Esq. His remains were yesterday interred at St.Mary's.
On Sunday the 18th inst, died at Shirley House, after a long and painful illness, Mary Frances, the eldest daughter of the late Sir Charles Rich, Bart.
Her remains were yesterday interred in the Catacombs of All Saints Church, with those of her late father and sister.
During the last few evenings a great number of individuals here have been frightened by meeting a most ghastly and horrible figure, bearing the appearance of a man about 5 feet 10 inches high, enveloped in a loose bIue cloak, who meets the person he has a design to frighten, when suddenly dropping the cloak from his shoulders, he assumes the appearance of a skeleton; from the left side hangs what appears to be a bleeding heart; the head and face is the most horrible imaginable, it having the appearance of a gigantic skull with the addition of large illuminated saucer-eyes, and is so contrived (probably by a wire-spring concealed in the neck, in the manner of the Scaramouch in the Fantoccini) that it rises at pleasure nearly 2 feet from the body, enabling the wearer to assume the appearance of being 7 or 8 feet high. Several women have been dreadfully alarmed by this figure; and on Thursday night the female servant of Mr.Dienaide, in East-street, was thrown into convulsions by his sudden appearance close to her in Houndwell. We regret to add that she continues in such a state as to excite, in her medical attendant, apprehensions for her life. This is carrying a joke too far.

The subscribers to the Lying-in Charity will meet on Thursday next, the 29th inst. at twelve o'clock, at the Episcopal Palace in the Close of this city.
Salisbury Balls .-The first ball of the season was held at the White Hart Rooms on Tuesday last; and was attended by many families of rank and distinction, resident in this and the neighbouring counties. Such an assemblage of beauty and fashion has seldom been equaIled in this city; and from the excellent management of the stewards, everything went off in a manner that gave entire satisfaction. Upwards of 130 persons were present, among whom were - Lord and Lady Bridport; Hon.Capt.Bouverie and Lady; Hon.Mrs.Harris; Hon.Mr.Howard; Sir Charles Hulse, Bart. and Lady; Sir Edward Poore, Bart.; Wadham Wyndham, Esq. M.P. and Lady; General Slade and Lady, Mr.and Mrs Bolton; H.B.Portman, Esq.; Mrs.and the Miss Portmans; Mr.and Mrs.Wyndham and family (of Dinton); Rev.Mr.and Mrs.Heathcote; the Miss Benetts; Rev.Canon OgIe and family; Mrs.Nesbitt; Rev.Mr.Shuckburgh and family; Mrs.and Miss Buller; Mrs.and Miss May; Mrs.and the Miss Brownckers; Mrs.and the Miss Salisburys; Captain D. Macdonald and lady; Captain Buller; Captain Pole; Captain Ferguson; Dr.and Mrs.Fowler; Dr.Grove; Dr.Goldwyer; Mr.and Miss Portal; Mr.and Mrs.Brereton Trelawny; Mr.Thompson Jacob; Mr.and Mrs. Munro; Mr.and Mrs.T.Grove; Mr.and Mrs Js. Blunt and family; Mr.Frampton; Mr.Knatchbull; Mr.Cooke; &c. &c.
The Shaftesbury Ball on Thursday last was very numerously and respectably attended, and the admirable arrangements made by the Stewards gave universal satisfaction.
Our Concert on Thursday last was very numerously and fashionably attended. The selection of music met with much approbation. Miss George was in excellent voice. Rossini's Cavatina, "Una voce," was sung by her with great feeling, and was deservedly encored. Nor must we omit a pretty air called the "Light guitar," which evinced that her powers were as fitted to give effect to English as to Italian music. Mr.Harrington sung Haydn's fine song "In native worth," in his usual style of excellence. The Huntsman's Chorus in "Der Freischulz" gave great satisfaction, and all the performers, both vocal and instrumental, displayed no ordinary proficiency in their respective departments.
Dorchester Bank opened after a temporary suspension on Saturday last, but the public confidence in this respectable establishment was such, that but a very few individuals applied to have their notes exchanged for gold, and it did not present more appearance of bustle than usual. Indeed in so high a respect is the firm held in Dorchester, that during the time of the suspension, the notes were taken in payment, and passed as current as at any previous period.
It is with great pleasure we find that the banking-houses of Messrs.Wm.Bower and Wm.Eliot, at Dorchester and Weymouth, have continued their payments most promptly, in sovereigns and Bank of England notes, and have a large surplus of means to answer every possible demand.
We are happy to state that neither of the banks at BIandford have experienced any inconvenience from a distrust in their stability. Many offers of cash and bank bills were lately made to them, but declined. At the head of those persons who tendered proffers of support, were Mr.Portman and Mr.Farquharson.
We hear with much pleasure that it is the intention of Messrs.Dean and Company to resume their payments in a few days .-- Their notes are taken in Christchurch and the neighbouring towns without the least scruple.
Ringwood. Dec. 21.- We understand that the suspension of payment by Messrs.Dean and Co. (of the Christchurch and Wimborne Bank), who had a Branch Bank at Ringwood, gave rise to a report in the surrounding country that the Ringwood Bank had stopped payment, which brought into that place great numbers of terrified persons who held large quantities of the notes of Messrs.Ledgard, Welch. and Co. of the Ringwood and Poole Bank, and of Messrs.Fryer and Co. of the Ringwood Bank; but they were most agreeably surprised on their arrival to find that their information was incorrect; for that both the last mentioned respectable establishments were most honorably and promptly meeting all claims opon them, and that the fullest confidence was entertained by all the inhabitants of their stability and firmness. We learn that it is probable Messrs.Dean and Co. win resume payment in the course of few days.
Messieurs.Jones, Lloyd, and Co., Bankers, are the London Correspondents of Messieurs Darton, Timbrell, and Walters, bankers, Frome, Somerset.
Messrs.MouIe, Son. and Co. of Melksham, have, from the extraordinary pressure of the times, found it necessary to suspend their payments; but we understand their property is far more than sufficient to pay all demands upon them - and the suspension will be but for a very short time - Bath Herald, Dec.24.
Fonthill Abbey, - We cannot but regret having to announce the demolition, in great part, of this most magnificent fabric, which has been so universally and so deservedly admired. On Wednesday afternoon, about half past three o'clock, the tower, which rose to the height of 270 feet from the centre of the building, fell with a tremendous crash, breaking through a great portion of the roof of the Abbey, and instantaneously presenting an immense mass of ruins. Most fortunately no lives were lost. The tower, it appears, was of too slight a construction; and from certain indications, its fall had been expected for several days previous to its actual occurrence. It inclined, in its descent, a little to the south-west, and fell into the fountain court, destroying the hall, the whole of the octagon, and great part of the galleries, north and south, together with the first crimson room, leaving the grand entrance standing with the organ in it, and the statue of the late Alderman Beckford in its niche. Mr.Farquhar was in the large east wing of the building, at the time of the disaster, and it is said he I was not much alarmed, as he had expected it; seven servants were also at the time engaged, by his orders, in taking out the painted windows of St.Michael's Gallery, and they all escaped unhurt. One servant boy, however, was considerably injured. A great quantity of plate is still buried in the mass of ruins.
About two hundred ladies and gentlemen assembled at the Mansion House, Newbury, on Friday evening the 16th instant, to witness the performances of the young ladies of the Miss Barnes's school in music and dancing. The pieces of music were of the higher order, and they were perfectly executed; the superior style and correct expression of the pupils were highly creditable to themselves, as well as to Mr.Packer, their instructor. The style of the young ladies' dancing was simple and elegant; the figure dances, which were tasteful and pretty, were extremely well performed; and the minuets were danced with perfect ease and grace. The proficiency of the young ladies in both of these accomplishments gave great pleasure to the visitors, and must have been very gratifying to the Miss Barnes. After the young ladies had retired, the company commenced dancing, which they continued for some hours.
The children of the Warminster National School were publicly examined on Thursday last, and acquitted themselves much to the satisfaction of the ladies and gentlemen present, and to the credit of the master and mistress. - In the course of the year the premises have been purchased, and two new school-rooms erected.
Births.- On Thursday the 22d instant, in Grosvenor-street, London, the Viscountess Folkestone, of a daughter. - On Monday the 19th, at Baynton-house, the lady of Walter Long, Esq. of a son. - On Tuesday the 20th instant, at Shaftesbury, Mrs.G.W.Buckland, of a daughter.
Married, Mr.Wm.Wiltshire, of Pockeridge, near Corsham, to Rebecca, daughter of Mr.Thomas Beaman, of St. Catherine.- Also, Mr.Thos.Reynolds, jun. of Stanton, near Highworth, to Harriet, daughter of Mr.Ricketts, of Ampney Crucis, near Cirencester.
On Wednesday the 21st inst. was married at Dinton Chapel, in the parish of Westbury, Mr.Sargent, of Newbury, to Zipporah, fourth daughter of Mr.Glass, of Short Street House, in this county.
On the 15th inst, was married at Chippenham, Joseph Sidney Tharp, Esq. eldest son of John Tharp, Esq. of Chippenham Park, to Anna Maria, daughter of the late Major-General Gent.
On the 19th instant died, at Hammersmith, deeply regretted, in his 74th year, the Rev.George Chisholm, D.D. 41 years rector of Ashmore, in the county of Dorset.
Died on the 16th inst. at Littlebredy, aged 26, the Rev.G.H.Roberts, curate to the Rev.Mr.Aubrey.
Died on the 17th inst, at Wareham, aged five years, Charles, son of T.Phippard, Esq.
Died on the 17th.inst, at his brother's house in Axminster, the Rev.Henry Hayman, A.B., of Wilton, Wilts, aged 50; formerly of Queen's College, Oxford, and of Halstock, Dorset, and brother to Mrs J.B.Player, Queen-square, Bristol. The remarkable urbanity and disinterested kindness of his disposition in private life, and his uncommon piety, zeal, and humilityin discharging his public dutie's, will cause him to be long and deeply regretted by the circle in which he moved ; the poor have lost a benevolent benefactor, his purse being always open to the distressed.
On Friday the 23d instant died at Downton, Jane, relict of the late R.Hooper, Esq. of Pewsey.
On Tuesday last died at Rockborn, Mr.George Flower, aged 68 years.
On Saturday the 17th instant died at Dorchester, John Bawden Harvey, aged 13 years, son of Collan Harvey, Esq. of St.Day, near Truro, Cornwall.
Three white pheasants and an auk, have been sent to Mr.Edwards, of Amesbury, to be preserved, by a gentleman in Hampshire. The auk inhabits Spitzbergen, Greenland and Iceland, and is seldom seen so far south as the British shores.
A correspondent assures us that the following is an infallible remedy for the tooth ache:
"Take some lint, which put in a quill, and pIace it on the tube of a tobacco pipe prior to its being smoked, after which, apply that part of the lint nearest the tube to the cavity of the tooth, where let it remain some considerable time; it will immediately assuage the most violent pain, and the full efficacy of it will be best known by the test of experience."
Fatal Affray with Poachers - On Tuesday morning the 13th instant, about two o'clock, James Drake, gamekeeper to Earl Nelson, was called up from his bed by an assistant keeper named Edney, who informed him that some poachers, were then firing guns on his Lordship's manor at Standlynch, near this city, in a wood called Batt's Croft. Drake sent Edney to a man named Emery (gamekeeper to Thomas Bolton, Esq.) for assistance; and on his return, Drake and he proceeded,each armed with a club stick, to the croft. - Upon their way, they heard several reports of guns. On reaching the spot, a desperate scuffle ensued between them and three men named William Bailey, John Bailey (his brother), and Thomas Frampton. Emery, it appears, on being called by Edney, proceeded immediately to the assistance of the keepers; and upon arriving within 300 yards of the place, where the conflict was going on, he heard the report of a gun, and also heard Drake repeatedly calling for his (Emery's) assistance. He hastened to the spot, and there found Drake with William Bailey under him on the ground; John Bailey was standing near Drake, whom Emery seized and threw down. Edney was also near, with Frampton under him. Emery, Drake, and Edney, kept the three poachers down, until a man named Jerrett came, who helped to tie their hands, and assisted in taking them prisoners to Drake's house. Two guns (one of them loaded with shot) and a flail were found on the spot where the scuffle took place. Five pheasants were found in the possession of the poachers. Such was the severity, of the above conflict, that one of the poachers (William Bailey) had his head so dreadfully fractured, that he survived but till the following Thursday; his brother too was most severely beaten, and Drake, the keeper, was very much bruized. - On Saturday the 17th instant, an inquest was held by Mr.Whitmarsh, the coroner, on the body of William Bailey, when the above circumstances were related to the Jury by various witnesses. Edney positively swore, that after the scuffle had commenced, he saw the deceased retire a little distance from Drake, and discharge a gun at him, but without effect.
Under all the circumstances, the Jury returned a verdict of "Justifiable Homicide." - It should be noticed that every possible medical aid was rendered to the unfortunate man who died, and to the others who suffered from injuries in this lamentable affair, the attendance of two surgeons having been procured for them.
Poole, Dec.19, 1825.

JOHN BULL NEWSPAPER
MR.HENRY FOX COOPER, Editor of the JOHN BULL NEWSPAPER, from its commencement on the 17th of December, 1820, down to the date of this Notice, a period of FIVE YEARS, has found it necessary to withdraw himself from the Editorship of the said Newspaper.
With gratitude for the repeated offers of friendship and assistance which, at various times, he has received, and which were particularly expressed towards him during his confinement in Newgate, in the months of May, June, and July, in the year 1821, (to which prison he was committed by the House of Commons,) for an alleged libel on Mr.Henry Grey Bennett, Member of Parliament for Shrewsbury, the consideration of which occupied the attention of the House of Commons for nearly a week, now most respectfully acquaints the loyal Public that he intends, on Sunday the 1st of January, 1826, to publish the first Number of a Paper, to be called COOPER'S JOHN BULL.
It, perhaps, is not necessary for him at this time of day to state the principles upon which his Paper will be conducted -for- are they not to be found in the columns of the John Bull, written in plain language eliciting TRUTH, and in support of all that is good and worthy in the United Empire ? In short -- for "GOD, THE KING, AND THE PEOPLE !"
