Barford, July 21, 1827.
Murder at Gosport.
The town of Gosport was thrown into great consternation on Sunday morning, in consequence of its being rumoured that a seaman had been murdered in the house of a female of bad character, on the preceding evening. It appeared, on inquiry, that a person of the name of Alexander Stroud, a native of Bermuda, and a seaman belonging to the Primrose, had been drinking at the Navy Tavern on Saturday evening, with an individual named John Sullivan, and a female of improper character, called Elizabeth Hickson, well known in Gosport by the name of Betsy Clarke. Deceased, it appeared, retired with this woman to her lodgings, late on the above evening, and was there joined afterwards by Sullivan. At two o'clock Sunday morning, some of the neighbours heard the window of the Clarke's lodgings thrown hastily up, and the cry of "watch;" and one person heard, about the same time, the cry of "murder." These cries were followed up by the noise of a violent struggling; the noise became fainter and fainter, and at length totally ceased. No great attention was paid to these circumstances, owing to the frequency of fights and riots in houses of that description. An investigation was, however, set on foot next morning, when the body of a man, which turned out to be that of Stroud, was discovered lying on the floor of Clarke's lodgings, besmeared with blood and covered with bruises. Life had been extinct for some hours previous. Upon the clothes of Clarke, there were several marks of blood and violence. It was then found that Sullivan had accompanied the deceased to Clarke's room. Suspicion therefore fell upon him and Clarke, and a warrant was issued for their apprehension. On Monday an inquest was held on the body, before Charles Longcroft, Esq, one of the coroners for the county of Hants, which lasted upwards of eleven hours. The prisoners, Sullivan and Clarke, were confronted with several witnesses; and the Jury, from the very strong evidence adduced, brought in a verdict of wilful murder against Sullivan and Hickson, and they were both committed to gaol by the Coroner to take their trial at the assizes, to-morrow or Friday next.
Daring Burglary at Frome
The family of Mr.Walsh, of Park Hill, near Frome, was much alarmed by a daring burglary committed in their house early on Friday morning last. The family consists of Mr.and Mrs.W and 12 children, who happened all to be home, besides servants. The eldest sons, aged 18 and 16, slept in a room on the first floor; and about one o'clock the younger, Henry, was awoke by a light in the room, and observed a man with a lantern moving towards the door. He had the presence of mind not to move, nor open his eyes more than sufficient for sight. When the man got out of the door, he turned round and directed the light to each of the beds, and thinking the occupants asleep, he went softly down stairs. Henry then got up, waked his brother, a went to his father's room to procure a light. He then returned to his own room, loaded a gun with two pistol bullets, and both the brothers, leaving the light in their room, descended the stairs without their shoes, and, at the kitchen door, saw what appeared to be a dark lantern, partly open, in a state of motion near the outer kitchen door which had been opened, and close to a drawer, which was also open, containing the silver spoons, &c. in common use. He fired immediately, and thinks he must have hit the man, as no trace of the bullets can be found. The man, however, made off, and escaped over a wall. It appears he took from off the drawers in the room the watch and purse of the elder brother. The former was afterwards found in the garden dropped in getting over the wall; in the latter was a sovereign and some silver, which was all the booty the villain succeeded in obtaining. It could not be accurately ascertained in what manner the entry was made; but it is supposed that as the doors had been open till about 10 o'clock, the man entered one of them and proceeded up stairs to a closet at the top of the house, and secreted himself till the family were in bed. Every exertion has been made to discover the man, but hitherto without success. Mr.H.W had a full view of his person, which he took particular notice of, and is confident he should know him. He describes him as an ill-looking man, with a dark complexion and strong features, full bushy black whiskers; he is a broad thickset man, and about 5 feet 6 inches high. He had on his head a woollen cap, such as is worn frequently by foreign sailors and bargemen, striped blue and red. A man precisely answering his description was in Frome on Thursday afternoon, begging at several houses; he stated himself in French to be a Portuguese, and professed not be able to speak English; but it appears this was not the case, as he spoke it well at a house where he enquired for lodgings, and for a companion whom he expected to meet. It is thought probable that should the man be wounded he may apply for surgical assistance, and in this case it is hoped information will be forwarded to Mr.Walsh, or should such a man be seen about the country, it is hoped the police will detain him.
Dreadful Occurrence
A shocking circumstance has occurred, in the death of a man at Manchester, in consequence, it is believed, of having had laudanum administered to him by thieves, for the purpose of more easily robbing him. On Friday afternoon, an old man, with a long beard, and apparently a follower of Johanna Southcott, was seen to enter the Windsor Castle public-house, with a woman, and were joined by three men who had followed them. They were drinking together for some time, and the old man got rather intoxicated. From the conversation between the three men, a young man of the name of Gordon, who was drinking in the house, determined on watching them. With this view, he noticed them entering other public-house, in one of which he thought he saw one of the men put something in the old man's glass. One of the men, with the woman, left the party; and the young man procured a beadle named Hull, and there they found the old man insensible; one of the two men was throwing water in his face, and the other was picking his pocket. Hull, with his assistants, secured them. One of them made a desperate resistance, but was overpowered, and on him was found a phial containing laudanum, and some silver; the other had likewise a small sum about him. Nothing was found on the old man, though some money had been previously seen in his possession. The men were conveyed to the lock-ups, and the old man to the infirmary, where he died the next morning. Before he died, he stated that his name was Thomas Aspinall, and he was a weaver, living at Blackburn. The police have not yet been able to find his friends. The two men gave their names as Francis O'Neale and William Thornhill, and they are both known to the police. An inquest was held on the body at the Town Hall Tavern, on Saturday evening, and adjourned.
Sunday se'nnight a congregation was Ranters, consisting of about a hundred and twenty persons, assembled at Falmouth, in a large loft over a stable, where they had for some time held their meetings. In the course of the service, the devotees commenced jumping, in imitation of the description given of David's dancing before the ark, &c. Having continued this exercise, in which both sexes joined, for some time, the beams suddenly gave way, and the minister and his dancing congregation were suddenly precipitated into the stable beneath them.
Saturday evening the 21st inst. As a waggoner in the employ of Mr.Rickwood, of Longbridge Deverill, was returning with a team from Warminster market, the horses took fright, and in endeavouring to stop them, he was thrown down, and so much hurt that he died in two hours. He had been 14 years in Mr.Rickwood's service; has left a wife and five children, and so highly was he respected that his master has promised to allow his widow 4s weekly for life.
Adjourned Inquest at Amesbury
The fatal and deplorable circumstances attending the accident which occurred to the Celerity and Defiance stage coaches, on the 18th instant, near Amesbury, (of which and account was given in last weeks Journal), underwent a further investigation, at an adjourned inquest held before Mr.Whitmarsh, the coroner, on Monday last, at the George Inn, at Amesbury. A great degree of interest was excited by this lamentable accident. The proprietors of the vehicles were naturally anxious that no undue imputation should attach to their respective coachmen; whilst a feeling of public indignation was warmly and generally entertained towards the party that might be found deserving of blame. Mr.Whitmarsh conducted the investigation in the most patient and impartial manner. The witnesses were examined (out of the hearing of each other), as to the minutest circumstances attending the accident, not only by the coroner, but by two gentlemen of the legal profession who were employed on that occasion, and by several gentlemen of the Jury. It had not been ascertained who the deceased gentleman (the unfortunate subject of the inquest) was, although letters had been written to the Admiralty Office and to Plymouth, on the subject.
The first witness called was Mr.T.D.Neyler, a gentleman of Martock, Somerset, who was on the coach of the Defiance when the accident occurred early in the morning on the 18th instant. He first saw the Celerity coming down a hill, which the Defiance was slowly ascending; the weather was foggy, but he could see perfectly well by the coach lamps; the Defiance coachman pulled his horses on one side, to make room for the Celerity, which was rapidly coming down the centre of the road; he hallooed to the Celerity coachman, and then said to witness, "we shall be over, Sir;" a tremendous crash followed, and both coaches were overturned (each on its near side.) Witness thought the fore wheel of the Celebrity first struck that of the Defiance, and then passing between the hind wheel and spring of the Defiance, the concussion ensued which occasioned the overturning of both coaches. Witness was thrown upon a bank at the road side, and was not much hurt; he immediately ran to the horses heads, and the coachman said to him, "you can say, Sir, I was not to blame." The Celerity coachman then came up, when the Defiance coachman said to him, "You know, Maule, you are always serving me so." An altercation took place between them; and witness went with a lantern to endeavour to assist the passengers of the Celerity coach which was lying upon the centre of the road. Witness was decidedly of opinion that there was plenty of room for both coaches if the Celerity had kept to its proper side. The road is 18 feet wide, besides the turf on each side. No blame could be attached to the Defiance coachman, who was perfectly sober. The Celerity was going so quick that the coachman had not the command of his horse; and witness thought that he must either have lost the control of his horses, or that he drove against the Defiance on purpose.
William Bound Rendle, ironmonger, of Clerkenwell Close, London, was an inside passenger of the Defiance when the accident happened about a quarter past one in the morning of the 18th. The coach was going up a hill at a slow pace, when hearing the coachman call out to some one, he looked out of the window, and saw the coach was near a bank on the near side of the road, and the near wheels of the coach were running on the turf of the road side; a concussion immediately followed, and the coach fell deliberately on the turf towards the bank, the near wheels being one pace within the turf, and three paces from the bank; the Celerity coach, which struck the Defiance, had previous fallen on the road. Witness, on hearing the screams of females, went with the guard of the Defiance to assist in extricating two ladies who were lying under the body of the coach.
John Leathern, auctioneer, of Somerset-street, Bishopsgate, an outside passenger of the Defiance, corroborated the testimony of the previous witnesses; he said the Defiance coachman, was sober, and his conduct was highly proper; the Celerity had twelve passengers.
James Bridge (a servant) was on the outside of the Defiance, facing the horses; saw the Celebrity 150 yards off coming down the hill; the Defiance coachman drew off the road, and called "hoy, hoy" to the Celerity coachman. When witness first saw the Celerity, it was on its proper side, but it afterwards seemed to draw near to the Defiance; it had considerably the greater share of the road. In witness's opinion, the Celerity coachman had not sufficient command of his horse, or he could have drawn off; he was driving at a furious rate of 10 or 11 miles an hour.
Joseph Cannon, guard on the Defiance, stated that at the time of the accident the coach was going only about 4 miles an hour, and the coachman was pulling his horses in; he heard him call to somebody; the Celerity came immediatley upon them, although it had plenty of room on the off-side; he had not time to blow his horn. Witness thought that the splinter bar of the Celerity struck the hind wheel of the Defiance, and that the fore wheel of the Defiance was struck by the hind wheel of the Celerity, (The testimony of this witness as to the position of the coaches when fallen was similar to that of the other witnesses.) Witness went to the Celerity, and took the deceased gentleman from under the coach-box; he was quite dead; witness then assisted in taking the ladies out from under the coach. The Defiance had 8 passengers, and but little luggage. The general rate of going of the Defiance is from 8 3/4 to 9 miles an hour. The Defiance coachman was sober; witness could not say that the Celerity coachman was intoxicated; the Defiance was very near being driven against by the same man once before at Mullen's Pond.
The examination of witnesses being here closed, the Coroner read to the Court two depositions previously made before the same Jury at the inquest on Thursday.
The first and principal deposition was that of Mr.Geo.Crossland, an outside passenger of the Celerity, whose testimony excited great attention, as it was directly contradictory to what had been deposed by the five witnesses examined this day. Mr.Crossland being called in, confirmed the statement, in his deposition, which was to this effect, that in his opinion, when the coaches met, there was room for the Defiance to pass, but that the Defiance coachman in passing seemed to drive towards the Celerity; he thought that the Celerity wheels were on the verge of the road, which was only about 14 feet wide.
The Coroner, in charging the Jury before they considered their verdict, gave them directions as to what a verdict must be in cases where fatal effects resulted from the concussion of two coaches : if maliciously and wilfully done (but there was certainly no proof of malice in this case), the verdict would be "Wilful Murder;" if occasioned through negligence or carelessness, a verdict of "Manslaughter," must be returned; and if the occurrence was unavoidable and unintentional, then a verdict of "Accidental Death" must be returned.
The Jury, after retiring for half an hour, returned a verdict of "Manslaughter," against John Maule, the driver of the Celerity, with a deodand of 40s on the coach. The Coroner thanked the Jury for the great attention they had paid to the investigation, and expressed his full approval of the verdict.
The Rev.Mr.Duke complimented the coroner in the able and impartial manner in which he had conducted the investigation, and said that from what had passed that day, he could not but approve of the verdict. As he, in his magisterial capacity, and as a private individual, had great experience of the dangerous effects of the rapid driving of stage coaches, and as there were many coach proprietors present, he took that opportunity of earnestly exhorting them to strictly caution their coachmen not to drive at the furious rate which they were apt to do. The calamitous accident that caused their meeting that day, would, he trusted, make a due and lasting impression on the minds of stage-coachmen in general throughout the kingdom.
A legal gentleman present said he thought the Rev.Magistrate who had just spoken, was entitled to the thanks of all present, and he would deserve the warmest thanks of the country at large, if he, with the aid of his brother magistrates, could obtain the passing of a legislative statute to restrict stage-coachmen from driving at a dangerous rate.
The coroner then made out a warrant to commit John Maule for trial, at the next assizes; but accepted bail for his appearance from two of the proprietiors of the Celerity coach (Mr.Woodward and Mr.Pratt), who entered into a bond of �50 each and Maule himself �100.
The witnesses were all subpoenaed to Salisbury assizes next week.
[The Printers have received a letter informing them that the name of the deceased was Thomas Strange, that he was a half pay Lieut in the Navy, of a most respectable family living at Dunkerran, near Kenmare, county of Kerry, and has left a widow and four or five children : on the 10th instant he came in the packet from Cork to Bristol, and proceeded to Plymouth, to wait on the Duke of Clarence, under whose auspices he had been just appointed to the command of a vessel. - The remains of the unfortunate gentleman were interred on Thursday the 26th inst. in the church-yard of Bulford, near Amesbury.]

Poole, July 27.
Tuesday having been fixed at the last monthly meeting of the Corporation for holding an Admiralty Court and perambulating the boundaries of this town and county, G.W.Ledgard, Esq. our worthy Mayor and Admiral, with the aldermen and a large party of the corporation, met at the Guildhall, when, after a jury having been sworn, and the usual forms gone through, they went in procession, preceded by a band of music, to the quays, and embarked on board several yachts, and sailed up Wareham Harbour to Lytchet Bay, to Arne, and thence to Attewell, when the ancient boundaries in this part of the harbour were claimed, after which they proceeded to the Bar, and claimed the liberties of this district, which, according to the Charter, is as far as a Humber barrel can be seen, (the weather being fine great scope was given to the optics of many in this particular.) A salute was fired from the battery at Brownsea Castle on their passing; salutes were also fired from several vessels in the harbour. The squadron now anchored, and the company being invited on board the Admiral's yacht, sat down to an excellent repast provided for the occasion, after which the squadron, which now consisted of an immense number of vessels, boats, &c. got under weigh, and came up to the town in a fleet which had a very imposing appearance, the town band on board the admiral's yacht playing "Rule Britannia," &c. The company then landed, and the procession, with colours flying, proceeded to the town hall, and the court was adjourned till Thursday, when it again met, and made their presentments. We understand that some very great improvements are about to be made in the harbour.
On Sunday the Rev.J.C.Parr performed the service at our Church for the first time since his appointment to the Curacy, on which occasion he delivered two most excellent sermons.

Fire was seen on Sunday last at the burning hill, more to the westward. From the period elapsed, since its first smoky and fiery appearance, this phenomenon claims still greater attention.
Mr.John Harvey's pamphlet on the subject of a Breakwater for Portland Roads has caught the attention of many respectable individuals, who remark, that in a national point of view, the work must necessarily sooner or later be accomplished. The immense supply of waste stone on hand, which is a burden to the valuable ground it occupies at Portland, must render its successful termination comparatively much easier than at first imagined; indeed, the publication need only be read, to convince the most scrupulous of the practicability of the present undertaking, in every point of view.
Winchester.
Saturday, July 28.
The business of our Assizes commenced on Tuesday last, Mr.Justice Burrough presiding in the Crown Court, and Chief Justice Best at Nisi Prius.
In Mr.Justice Burrough's charge to the Grand Jury on Tuesday, the learned Judge made a particular allusion to the prevalence of the crime of horse-stealing, in this and the adjoining county; the crime did certainly prevail to such an injurious and alarming an extent, that it became absolutely necessary that the law should be allowed to take its course against those whose depredations had set it at defiance, and he should perform his duty accordingly.
The following prisoners were tried and sentenced :
Death :- Benjamin White, for stealing two geldings, the property of George Henry Hasker; Robert Ainsley, for stealing a mare, the property of Edmund Moody; and Wm.George, for stealing silver articles and wearing apparel from the house of William Frost, at Wymering; (to be executed on Saturday, Aug 11.)

The following causes were tried at Nisi Prius:
Lidbetter v.Scott. - This was an action brought by the plaintiff, assignee to a miller of the name of Hollis, to recover the value of 40 sacks of flour fraudulently taken away from the bankrupt's premises to the injury of the other creditors. After hearing the evidence, the jury, under the learned judge's direction, found for the plaintiff damages �108.
The King v. Frampton. (Special Jury).- This was an information filed by the Attorney-General against the defendant, for having contrary to the Statute 6.G.4. unlawfully made a signal to persons on board a smuggling vessel at Holdenhurst on the 22d of October last. The evidence being clear, the jury without hesitation found the defendant guilty.
Arnold v. Figes - This was an action of trespass brought be the plaintiff, a grocer, lately residing in Southampton, against the defendant, his landlord, for entering his house and taking his goods. It appeared from the examination of the plaintiff's son, that the plaintiff occupied a house of the defendant's in Southampton, for which he was to pay �110 per annum rent. On taking the house the plaintiff proposed letting some part of it out in lodgings , but after occupying the premises some time, and not being successful in letting his lodgings, and his business not being prosperous, the son of the plaintiff wrote to the defendants attorney (the plaintiff himself having gone to London some time previous) stating that he was unable to pay the rent, and wishing the defendant to take the house and fixtures which were of the value of �170; and it was agreed that this should be done, and the landlord should have possession on a certain day; this agreement was signed by the plaintiff's on behalf of his father; and on the plaintiff seeing it, the terms were such that he could not approve of them, and it was contended the son had no authority from the plaintiff to sign the agreement. On Saturday the 19th of August 1826, the son locked up the premises and went to London; a few days after this the defendant got through a neighbour's house into the premises, and took possession. Notice of this having been given to the son, he returned to Southampton, and after making inquiries how the parties got possession, he ultimately pointed out certain of the fixtures of which a valuation was made, amounting with expences incurred to the sum due, some part of the stock being disposed of to other persons by the son, and the premises regiven up. The defendant pleaded the leave and licence of the plaintiff, but it appeared that the defendant had got possession of the premises forcibly, which he was not justified in doing, at the suggestion of the learned Judge it was agreed that a verdict should be taken for the plaintiff, damages 1s and the goods to be re-valued.
Rich, Bart. v. Palmer and others - This was an undefended action, brought by the late Sheriff of this County, against the defendants on a bail bond; verdict for the plaintiff, damages �40.
Sutton v. Toomer - This was an action brought to recover the sum of �250 and interest on a note given by the late Southampton Bank, to which the defendant, amongst other pleas, pleaded the Statute of Limitations.. From the evidence on the part of the plaintiff it appeared that the plaintiff on the 23d Nov. 1813 deposited the above note with the Bank there, under the firm of Trim and Toomer. In the year 1819 the defendant left the firm and resigned his interest, on receiving a consideration, to a Mr.Pritchard, and the banking concerns were carried on under the firm of Trim, Kellow, and Pritchard. Some time after this, on Mr.Pritchard's representing to the defendant that from the books there appeared to be some notes outstanding, the defendant replied he believed there were none. In 1825 the plaintiff presented the note in question and requested payment of the interest, he not then wanting the principal. On this note being so presented, Mr.Pritchard went to the defendant, and a conversation ensued, in which Mr.Pritchard said, "Now, Sir, you see this is not paid, and the man demands interest, but not the principal;" on which the defendant took the note in his hand and read it; Mr.Pritchard then asked him what was to be done, to which he (the defendant) replied "pay the interest" which was done accordingly; after this, on Mr.Pritchard's return to the Bank, he stated to the plaintiff that the money was not of the value it used to be, and that the interest must be reduced to 2 1/2 per cent, to which the plaintiff consented, and the words 3 per cent were struck out, and over them was written 2 1/2 per cent, which vitiated the note, of which the defendant took advantage, it not being fresh stamped, which was required under the Stamp Act; but there being a count in the declaration which would cover the note as so much money paid, and the Learned Judge being of opinion the case was taken out of the Statute of Limitations, the defendant having given directions to pay the interest, a verdict was taken for the plaintiff, - damages, principal and interest, �268.
The King v. Darby and others - (Special Jury.)- This was an indictment against John Darby, Ann Darby, and - Wavill, for having in their possession, at Gosport, a quantity of copper, being naval stores marked with the broad arrow, the property of his Majesty. The female was acquitted, and the two other found guilty.
Doe d. Saunders v. Plowden - This was an action of ejectment to recover possession of a small plot of land with a house on it situate at the parish of Boldre, in the New Forest.- Verdict for the plaintiff.
Ellison v. Knott.- This was an action brought to recover the sum of �9 odd for spirits and beer sold by the plaintiff to the defendant; but it appearing that spirits to the amount of �1 was charged, the learned Judge, under the tippling act, directed those items be struck out, by which it appeared there was due to the plaintiff �3 11s and a verdict for that amount was accordingly given.
Marsh v. Green.- Referred
Doe v. Heath.- Withdrawn
Townsend, Clerk v. Mitchell.- A juror withdrawn.

Saturday, July 28.
Our races Wednesday and Thursday were most brilliantly and numerously attended, and the sport on both days was excellent.

Church Missionary Society. - When we announced the day of the meeting for the formation of an Auxiliary Branch of this Society in Salisbury, we ventured to anticipate, as the very Rev.the Dean of Sarum was to take the chair, that a numerous meeting might be expected. We have now the pleasure to inform our readers that our most sanguine expectations were more than realized. We never recollect to have witnessed on any occasion, a more numerous and respectable meeting than that assembled on Thursday last at the Council Chamber in this city, for the purpose of forming the proposed Branch : present, the very Rev.the Dean of Salisbury, the Rev.Mr.Still, the Rev.Mr.Lear, the Rev.Mr.Methuen, the Rev.Mr.Majendie, the Rev.Mr.Dalby, the Rev.Mr.Philips, the Rev.Mr.Blandy, the Rev.Mr.Watkins, the Rev.Mr.Seaton, and the Rev.Mr.Grainger; John Thos. Mayne, Esq. &c.- The room was graced with the presence of numerous ladies; amongst whom we noticed, Mrs.Pearson and family, Mrs.Powell and family, Mrs.Lear, Mrs.Pegus and family, &c. &c.
Shortly after 12 o'clock the Dean was called to the chair, and having read letters from the following gentlemen, viz. John Benett, Esq. M.P.; Alexander Powell, Esq. M.P.; the venerable Archdeacon of Sarum; the Rev.Canon Hume; the Rev.Charles Townsend; and George Eyre, Esq. expressing their regret at not being able to attend the meeting, he opened the business of the day by giving a most animated and interesting account of the circumstances which first gave rise to the formation of the Parent Society, and of the motives which induced himself to become one of its earliest supporters. One of the strongest arguements he urged in favor of the Society, and which is most important to be known, was grounded upon the consideration that the different Missionaries employed by the Society were placed under the immediate jurisdiction and control of the Ecclesiastical Authorities of the Church of England; justly inferring from this circumstance that the operations of the Society were beyond suspicion. He also stated that our own venerable and much respected Bishop expressed his hearty concurrence and good wishes for the success of the Society, of which he had given full proof by his kindly accepting the office of Patron. He concluded an eloquent appeal on behalf of the Society, by assuring the meeting that he had never felt more gratified on any occasion than in being allowed to exert his zealous efforts in promoting the interest of this Society.
The first resolution was moved by the Rev.Mr.Still, in a way which rivetted the attention of the meeting, and we have only to lament that our limits will not allow us to do justice to his address.
It was seconded by G.Atkinson, Esq.
The Rev.Mr.Woodroffe, Secretary to the Parent Society, was then introduced to the meeting. He entered into a lengthened and full detail of the operations of the Society in the different parts of the world, and powerfully advocated the cause of the millions of benighted heathens who are perishing for lack of knowledge, though in many pleasing instances they are nevertheless saying, like the man of Macedonia in St.Paul's vision, "Come over and help us."
The meeting was also much indebted to Rev.Mr.Hough, one of the Chaplains of the Hon.East India Company's service, for a most animated, though affected sketch of the state of the Hindoos, whom he represented as being in the most adject state of bodily and mental degradation, to which situation they were reduced by their various superstitions. He also spoke of the great difficulties with which Missionaries had to contend, but gave a most glowing prospect of the happy results which must eventually crown their labours, and strongly urged upon the meeting the duty of every Christian to lend his individual aid in promoting so good a cause.
The other resolutions were moved and seconded by the following gentlemen : the Rev.Mr.Lear, the Rev.T.Methuen, the Rev.Mr.Majendie; the Rev.Mr.Dalby, the Rev.Mr.Seaton, the Rev.Mr.Philips, and John Thomas Mayne, Esq. These resolutions had for their object the establishment of an auxiliary branch of the parent society for Salisbury and South Wilts, all of which were most favourably received by the meeting, and were passed unanimously.- We are happy to add that a long list of subscriptions and donations was placed upon the table, which received an accession at the conclusion of the meeting. - A copy of the resolutions, with a list of the subscriptions, donations, &c. will be found in the preceding page.
As a detailed report of the proceedings will shortly be published, we shall conclude with expressing a hope that the society will continue to receive increasing patronage.
The Commission for holding the Assizes for the county of Wilts, was opened in the Council Chamber of this city, on Saturday afternoon, by the Mr.Justice Burrough.

We understand that Mr.Yates intends giving his amusing entertainment at our Assembly-Rooms on Thursday evening during the race week, under the patronage of George Watson Taylor, Esq. M.P. steward of the race .- The Four German Brothers intend giving a Concert the previous evening.
We think it right to caution the public against a fraud which a person, calling herself Priscilla Fuller, is practising in Salisbury and its neighbourhood. She is apparently about 18 years of age, and represents herself as formerly of the Orphan Asylum, in London, from which she was taken by Mr.Marshall, the printseller of Holborn Row, to be employed as a servant, but that instead of being so employed, she is required to travel the country and sell Mr.Marshall's prints. The story, aided by her age, and general unfitness for such a pursuit, has been in many instances successful, and obtained for her liberal relief, but upon inquiry it is found, that she is an impostor, and her story wholly untrue. Mr.Marshall never having employed her, or any other female for such a purpose.
Mr.Thomas, at the Library, on the morning of the Duchess of Clarence leaving Weymouth, had the honor, through the medium of Capt.Andrews, M.C. of presenting her Royal Highness with a view of Weymouth, and of the phenomenon, the burning Cliff, at which attention H.R.H. was pleased to command the M.C. to communicate her approbation of the same to Mr.Thomas.
