It exhibited the arms of the town, with those of our worthy Mayor, and many other appropriate devices.

Our correspondent at Jersey, who last week favoured us with the account of an Admiralty Messenger having been lately arrested and fined in that island, has this week communicated to us further particulars respecting that transaction, as follow :
"In addition to the extraordinary circumstance mentioned in my last, I have been informed, on credibility not to be disputed, that after the Messenger had served the Admiralty monitien on the merchant, Mr.Le Quesne, he was waited upon by Mr.Le Breton (an Advocate), by Mr.Anley (one of the Judges), and the merchant, under a pretence of advising him to withdraw the service of the monition, but in fact only to ascertain the real name of the Messenger; soon after which he was arrested by the Vicomte, who expressly told him, he never would execute any process whatsoever, that did not issue directly out of the Royal Court of Jersey; - so that this proceeding may be considered, not only an insult to the High Court of Admiralty, but a contempt of the English Government, inasmuch as it is provided by the famous statute of Charles the 2d (the Habeas Corpus Act), that the Court of King's Bench hath jurisdiction expressly by name over the islands of Jersey and Guernsey. The charter under which the islanders claim their privilege was granted by the same King, while a fugitive in their island, before he sat on the throne of England."

The Rev.C.Rigby Collins has sent to the treasurer of the Fuel Charity in this city, a liberal donation of 5 guineas. Such an addition to the funds of the charity is particularly seasonable at the present moment, from the rigour of the weather, and the death of several late subscribers.

The plan of penny a week clubs is proved to be highly useful at Bremhill : from these alone, in one year, were distributed in the parish of Bremhill, 24 blankets, 40 shirts, 36 shifts, 40 pairs of stockings, 21 under petticoats, 41 double handkerchiefs, 3 pair of shoes, and 4 frocks.

It was also resolved, that the rooms should be closed on Sundays during the hours of divine service. - The comforts and advantages of the society will be materially increased by the appointment of a librarian, and by the occupation of the house in the Market-place, lately the residence of Dr.Fowler, which is now fitting up for their reception. The proprietors were highly satisfied with the great and growing prosperity of the institution, and voted their thanks to the respective officers, and to the gentlemen who were instrumental to its establishment.
A meeting of farmers, butchers, and dealers, was held at Calne on Tuesday last, when it was resolved to establish a cattle market in that town, to commence to-morrow se'nnight, and to be continued on the 3d Tuesday in every month.- See advertisement.
Many of our readers will rejoice to hear that Mr.Penson's very excellent company of comedians are arrived in this city. They commence performing on Wednesday next, as will be seen by an advertisement, which announces an attractive bill of fare for that evening. We have every reason to expect, and to hope, that the performances of the ensuing theatrical season will meet with patronage. The truly liberal and tasteful manner in which the business of the theatre has been conducted during the last few years by Mr.Penson is universally acknowledged; and his unremitting endeavours to please, by producing popular pieces, and by his engaging for his company persons of superior talents, will, we doubt not, receive from the public that encouragement which they so justly merit. In addition to the company of last season, whose talents in the various walks of the drama were so much admired, we understand that Mr.George Penson (from the Bath theatre) is engaged for the whole of the season. This much admired performer will doubtless prove a valuable acquisition to our corps dramatique.
A correspondent has handed to us the following contradiction to a statement in our last :
"The account that appeared in the last Journal, respecting the Homington tomb-stone, contains an error that ought to be pointed out, and corrected : Mr.Stanley was only 51 years old at the period of his decease; the unit being very artfully and neatly cut, many years ago, by some free masons, who took the liberty of imposing upon the credulity of others. An attentive observer will perceive that the figures 51 are equi-distant, as they ought to be from the preceding and subsequent letters, thus (in ye: 51st year), and that the introduction of the unit, in the third place, destroys this principle invariably attended to by stone-cutters and others. - A gentleman, allured by this false tomb-stone, (what is more lying than a tomb-stone !) seriously contemplated the erection of a house at Homington, though he had a genteel one in the neighbourhood, with a view of inhaling Homington air, and rivaling, in years at least, a Nestor, a Parr, or a Stanley. Ought not this village to be spelt thus, - Hum-ington ?"
We beg leave to call the attention of our readers to the specimens of writing performed in three lessons by the pupils of the celebrated Mr.Smith, who has lately arrived in this city. - See adv.

A correspondent at Blandford, in a letter dated Thursday last, says, "The ink freezes in my pen while I am writing, my breath makes it go free. I am sorry to say the inhabitants of this town have been very negligent in suffering the snow to remain so long in the streets, to the annoyance of travelling; it was in heaps 5 or 6 feet high, but men are now moving it; a dreadful flood is expected, if a heavy rain should come on at the time of the thaw. It is supposed that there is 50 times as much snow now as there was when the river Stour was swelled, so high that it came into the Market Place of Blandford; at which time Bond, the post boy, was carried away with a pair of horses near the Crown Inn; Bond was then drowned."
Two apprentice boys, who were sent, a few days since, by their master (a Mr.Wills, of Lemonford, in the parish of Ashburton) to look for some cattle on Dartmoor, were unfortunately lost in the snow. One of them was found the same day, and was brought into a house, but died almost immediately; the other, was not found until the following day, and was of course quite dead. The master, who went to look for them, was also brought in insensible, and lay in that state for five or six hours, but at last recovered, by constant rubbing. A coroner's inquest was held on them on Saturday the 1st instant : the coroner, (Mr.Gribble, of Ashburton) was also very nearly lost, in going to the house where the boys lay. He was obliged to leave his horse (of which at one time the only part appearing was his head) at a farm house on the outskirts of the Moor; and to walk four or five miles through deep snow, to get to the house. The farmers in the neighbourhood of Dartmoor say, the snow was deeper on the Moor, than it was in the severe winter six years ago.
John Brasket, carter of Wm.Henning, Esq. was last week committed to Dorchester gaol, for breaking open the poultry-house of Mr.Norman, of Fordington, and stealing three ducks. The frequency of this species of theft is now become so great that it appears necessary every case should be visited with a severer punishment than mere imprisonment.
The debtors and prisoners in Fisherton gaol return thanks to Samuel Whitchurch, Esq. for a donation of three guineas.
