Caution to Innkeepers.-Three men of very genteel appearance, have lately been here and defrauded Mrs.Luce, at the Hotel, by discharging their bill with giving false checques on Messrs.Hoare, Barnet, and Co. Lombard-street, and Jones, Lloyd, and Co. bankers. One of them is an elderly man, of prepossessing- exterior, apparently between 50 and 60 years of age: forehead bald. and wears powder, his complexion rather sallow, as if changed by residing in a warm climate, speaks low, wearing cloth pantaloons, with a brown coat and light kwrseymere waistcoat. Another of the party is a young man about 18 or 20 years of age with a fair complexion and fresh rosy colour; had on a dark blue frock coat; faced with trimmings a la militaire, and black pantaloons, representing himself to be the son of the old man; he has black hair and dark eyes, generally carries with him when he walks out a handsome rifle piece, with which he shoots at a target. The other is a young man, about 18, calling himself a French nobleman; has light brown hair, dark complexion, wore a long blue coat and nankeen pantaloons. The old man stiled himself Robert Wynn, and brother of Wm.Wynn, Esq. President of the Board of Controul; but it turns out from a fraud that he has also committed on a gentleman of Salisbury, who formerly knew him that his real name is Wheatley.
POOLE, Dec. 2 -On Wednesday evening last Mr.Lester, our worthy representative, gave a ball at the town hall, to a very Iarge party, having previously invited upwards of 600 ladies and gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood. Dancing commenced at 9 o'clock, and was kept up with great spirit until a late hour. The ball was attended by nearly all the rank, fashion, and beauty of the town and its vicinity. We particularly noticed the Hon.W.F.S. and Lady Barbara Ponsonby; Henry Charles Sturt, Esq. and Lady Charlotte Sturt; E.D.G. Tregonwell, Esq. and lady, Miss Theobald, Mr. E. Castleman, &c. - The decorations were magnificent, and reflected great credit on the taste of the stewards. Every thing conspired to render the evening a most pleasant one to all present.

Winchester
Saturday, December 3.
On Tuesday last the first Amateur Concert for the season commenced at St.John's Room in this city, and was attended by nearly 500 of the most fashionable gentry of the city and neighbourhood. The orchestra consisted of upwards of 30 performers, of whom Mr.Truss, of Southampton, was leader, and Mr.Guy principal violoncello, aided by the able and valuable assistance of Dr.Chard, who still continues his unremitting exertions for the public amusement. Among the several pieces selected for the eveninig, Handel's celebrated overture "Esther," Romberg's Grand Symphonia, Pleyel's celebrated Concertante, and Haydn's Grand Symphonia, were executed in excellent style, and called forth repeated bursts of applause. Several glees were sung during the evening, and were much admired. The performances never passed off with more general satisfaction, and we cannot but congratulate the amateurs on the successful continuation of these pleasirig entertainments. At the conclusion of the concert, dancing commenced, and was kept up with unusual spirit till three o'clock.
A Branch Bible Society is established at Kingsclere, under favourable auspices.
We understand that a favourable report will be made by the Committee on Tuesday next, for carrying into effect the lighting of this city with gas.
Fight between Young Gas and Morris Pope.-Young Gas, Oliver, and Gayner, having come to Andover on a sparring tour, some provincial amateurs of pugilism made a match between Morris Pope (who beat Sandy Parsons of Bristol, in the same ring in which Spring and Neat fought) and Young Gas, for �25. a side, and the fight took place on Tuesday last in a field about a mile and a half from the spot where Spring and Neat fought. Pope, who was taller, and two stone heavier than his antagonist, was the favourite among the countrymen; but the backers of Gas took odds against him freely, feeling confidence in his courage. On setting to, no time was lost in sparring, but give and take proved the order of the day. Gas's superior style of fighting was, however, soon evident, from the manner in which he placed severe blows on the head of his antagonist, while the latter made scarcely any heavy hits at Gas. After 14 rounds, in all of which Pope was down, Gas was declared victor. The fight lasted 14 minutes.

John Banning, Esq. ably filled the chair, and the greatest conviviality and harmony was kept up till an early hour the following morning.
The trustees of the Wincanton, IIchester, and Honiton trusts, have recently held a meeting at Ilminster, at which they directed Mr.Green, of Exeter, to survey that road, for the purpose of pointing out the best means of lowering the hills, and shortening the distance from Andover to Exeter.
Projected Iron Rail-road from Radstock to Poole.
A well-attended and most respectable meeting took place on Saturday the 26th November, at the Red Lion at Wareham, pursuant to adjournment from the Grovenor Arms, Shaftesbury, for the purpose of constructing a new Iron Railroad from Radstock to Poole.
J. Calcraft, Esq. M.P. was called to the chair.
Capt.Whalley read a prospectus, which, after pointing out the numerous advantages to be derived from the undertaking, presented an estimate of expenses, distance of the line of road, &c. The line from Radstock to Poole was 80 miles, which would require a capital of about �300,000. to be raised in 2,600 shares of �100. each; that of these shares 1,000 be reserved by the Committee, 700 of which were to be offered to the proprietors of the land through which it was intended the road should pass. Capt.Whalley concluded by confidently asserting, that the scheme would ensure great and lasting advantages to those spirited individuals who were inclined to advance their money.
Mr.Rutter stated that an inland and direct communication from Poole to Bristol, would be one of the grand and essential objecls to be realized by the completion of the present undertaking. He then pointed out the direct line which the projected railway was to take, extending from Radstock to Frome; from thence to Warminster, Hindon. and Dinton, to Lord Arundel's, and within one mile of Shaftesbury; from thence to Marnhull and Sturminster, north of the Vale of Blackmoor; from Sturminster to Poole the road wilI cut up very little good ground; then across the vale to Mappowder, Dawlish, and the Piddles to Sanfordbridge, by Wareham, stretching on by Hamworthy Bay to Poole Harbour.
J.Frampton, Esq. thought that all the boasted benefits to be derived from the scheme would be more than counterbalanced by its disadvantages; and as he understood it was intendcd that it should be carri[e]d three or four miles over land exclusively his property, he should decidedly oppose it by every means in his power. He could not possibly see any advantage likely to be derived from the scheme.
Mr.Rutter, in a speech of some length, ably advocated the cause, and maintained that those gentlemen over whose lands the railroad was to pass would be most materially benefited by it.
The Hon.Mr.Ponsonby - I shall most cordially give my approbation and support to this measure, which I feel convinced will tend greatly to the improvement and advantage of the country.
Mr.Bayly opposed the preposed measure in a speech of great length, adducing various arguments in support of his opinions. He never expected, he said, to see the measure carried; many powerful landowners would oppose it, as being uncalled for as a public work, and destructive as a private one. He therefore still hoped to see the Dorset and Somerset line taken up, and warmly recommended, that the friends of both measures should consent to meet, and settle the terms of union, without which he much feared that a very important and beneficial object would he sacrificed to mere party feeling.
Mr.Calcraft considered that Parliament would make short work with the Dorset and Somersetshire Canal Company, nor let it interfere with the rismg interests of the new rail-road. A dormant company that chose to lay asleep so many years, he considered, would speedily be knocked on the head, unless it really commenced operations.
Mr.John Brown wished that the Wareham people should be put on the same footing as their Poole friends; he should therefore vote that a branch road be made from Sandfordbridge to Wareham.
Mr.Calcraft thought Mr.Brown perfectly right in throwing out that hint. He could not but fell himself deeply interested in the welfare and prosperity of Wareham; this measure, should the other be carried into effect, would therefore meet his sanction. He then read the following general proposition on the subject:- That it is considered expedient, that a Railroad be formed from Radstock to Frome, Warminster, Hindon, Shaftesbury, Sturminster, Wareham, and Poole. Those who were in favour of this scheme were therefore to hold up their hands. - The resolution was carried by an overwhelming majority.
The thanks of the meeting were then voted to J.Calcraft, Esq. for his impartial conduct in the chair, and the meeting dissolved.
(From a Correspondent:)
It appears, that in consequence of the difficulty found in ascertaining the best line for the proposed Rail-road from Radstock collieries, by Warminster and Shaftesbury, to the Vale of Blackmore, and other parts of the country, the requisite plans could not be completed in time for deposition in the office of Clerk of the Peace, in each of the counties of Somerset, Wilts, and Dorset, as directed by the standing orders of the House of Commons in such cases. The introduction of a Bill in ParIiament respecting the proposed Rail-road, cannot therefore take place in the ensuing session, and must be deferred until the succeeding year, which will afford opportunity for a better arrangement of the plans, and for ascertaining the opinion of the public with regard to the accomplishment of this desirable object; a leading feature of which is, better and cheaper supply of coal throughout the line of country which the measure will embrace.
The meeting held at Sturminster, on Thursday the 1st instant, was not very fully attended, the weather being unfavourable to travelling. Some gentlemen, from parts of the country south of that town, objected to the proposed line, as approaching too near their habitations and crossing their properties; but on learning that the proposed measure must necessarily be delayed, and that endeavours would be used to avoid such interference, they refrained from farther opposition, at least at present. The desirableness of relieving the country from the present heavy expence of coals, and from the consequent depredations of the lower classes upon the timber, hedges, and other produce of the lands, was impressively adverted to by the Rev.H.F.Yeatman, and the necessity of relieving the common people from such a notorious temptation to dishonesty, was most ably described by that gentleman. Much interesting discussion ensued respecting the comparative merits of the proposed Rail-road by way of Warminster, &c. and of another plan of conveyance by similar means, by way of Wincanton, &c. on behalf of the Dorset and Somerset Canal Company. A motion was made for sanctioning a minute of the Radstock, &c. Committee, in recommendation of their intended line, to which motion an amendment was submitted, recommending a preference to the Wincanton line of rail-road, and a branch from that line to Shaftesbury, &c. On a division, the show of hands was adverse to the amendment, and the original resolution passed. Only a few persons from the Shaftesbury line were present, and the gentlemen of the Vale generally refrained from expressing a decided opinion on the question of the two lines of rail-road,
On Friday the 25th ult. the friends of Mr.Fairbairn dined together at the Lamb Inn, Hindon, to celebrate his entrance on that inn. At five o'clock, about 40 sat down to a dinner, consisting of every delicacy the season afforded. The dessert was excellent, and the wines of the first quality. P.Chitty, Esq. presided. The company broke up at a seasonable hour, highly gratified with the attention paid them by the host and hostess, Mr.and Mrs.Fairbairn.
On Wednesday last was married at Shrewton, by the Rev.William Holes, A.M. Rector of Upton Lovell, in this county, Mr.H.L.Tovey, surgeon, of Maddington, to Martha, eldest daughter of, Charles Howard Wansbrough, Esq. of Shrewton.- And at the same time and place, Mr.Thomas Ogden Stevens of this city, to Harriet, second daughter of John Wansbrough, Esq. of Shrewton Lodge.

On Monday last was married, at St.Pancras Church, London, Mr.W.P.Brodribb, surgeon, Warminster, Wilts, to Maria Louisa, eldest daughter of the late Mr.Jackson, surgeon, Carey-street, Lincoln's-inn-field's.
On Monday the 21st ult. died at Taunton, in her 82d year, much beloved and deeply lamented by her family and friends, Catherine, relict of Colonel Dansey, of the 49th Regiment, Aid-de-Camp to his late Majesty, who (with his eldest son) fell in the service of his country; and sister of the late Sir Charles Malet, Bart. of Wilbury, in this county.
Saturday se'nnight died, at the residence of her sister, Mrs.Martha Emery, Banwell, in the county of Somerset, in the 98th year of her age, Mrs.Betty Gresley; desended from a long uninterupted line of illustrious ancestors. The first of whom came over to this country in the service and attached to the Court of the glorious and renowned King William the Conqueror; and were subsequently advanced to a Baronetage, from whom descended the present family of Sir Roger Gresley, of Drakelow, in the parish of Church Gresley, in Derbyshire. She always prided herself on being brought up in the true principles of the Established Church, and died with that pious and calm resignation in the faith of her Redeemer, which so truly depict the sincere and devout Christian.
On Friday the 25th ult. died at his house at Holloway, near Highgate, Mr.M.Harriss, of the firm of Harriss, Strange, & West, of 20, Charles-street, Hatton Garden, ivory merchants, in the 60th year of his age.

The ship Providence, chartered to convey female convicts to New South Wales, is now lying at Woolwich. She will take about 100. As a great disproportion exists between the numbers of the two sexes in New South Wales, (ten males to one female,) a more desirable consignment couId not be made than a cargo of women. Government seems aware of this fact, as scarcely any female convicts are now sent to the Penitentiary at Millbank. In the above-mentioned ship there are also between 30 and 40 females who are going as free settlers.
