Weymouth, June 15.

A succession of grand dinners, balls, and suppers, have recently been given, in compliment to Colonel Ross and the Officers of the Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, by our fashionable residents, Mrs.Young, Colonel and Mrs.Howard, Mr.and Mrs.Metcalfe Wardle, Dr. and Mrs.Mogg, and Mr.and Mrs.Hamilton.

A return of these marks of attention and hospitality has not been delayed by those gentlemen; for on Wednesday last they gave a most magnificent entertainment to a large party of gentlemen at their mess-room in the King's Barracks. The banquet consisted of turtle, turbot, venison, and every delicacy that the season affords. Pines and other rare fruit were obtained from Covent Garden, and the choicest wines were introduced. The company were delighted by the band's performance of many fine pieces of music during the evening.

On Tuesday next, should the weather prove fine, those gentlemen will also give a fete champetre in the Island of Portland, Governor Penn having politely granted the pleasure grounds of Pensylvania Castle for the accommodation of a large circle of ladies and gentlemen, who have received cards of invitation.

On Wednesday last the election of Verderer of the New Forest, in the place of Wm.Mitford, Esq. deceased, took place at the County Hall in this city. At twelve o'clock the Undersheriff took his seat, and after the writ and notices were read, he called upon the meeting to nominate their respective candidates for the office. The Earl of Cavan then rose, and in a neat speech proposed his friend, Mr.George Eyre, of Bramshaw, to fill the vacant office, which was seconded by Mr.May, of Hale House, and there being no other candidate, the Undersheriff declared Mr.Eyre duly elected. At two o'clock a large party of freeholders sat down to an excellent cold collation at the George Inn, at which Mr.Eyre presided; numerous loyal and patriotic toasts were given, and the utmost hilarity prevailed till a late hour.



Stockbridge.-- A man, calling himself Charles Cooper, lately came to the Grosvenor Arms, representing himself to be the servant of C.W.Taylor, Esq. and directing the landlord to keep a pair of horses for Mr.Taylor, who would pass through Stockbridge on the following day. Cooper spent that day and a part of the next at the Grosvenor Arms, leaving his reckoning to be paid by Mr.Taylor. The landlord having subsequently discovered that Mr.Taylor has no such servant in his employ, succeeded in apprehending Cooper, and he was committed to take his trial for the offence at the next sessions by Sir Charles Henry Rich, Bart.

At Stockbridge petty sessions, held on Thursday, before Sir Charles Henry Rich and the Rev.Robt.Wright, William Crowder was convicted in the penalty of �10 for wilfully lopping an oak tree, the property of Paulett Mildmay, Esq. and in default of payment was committed to prison for 6 months. - Robert Self and Wm.Cue were committed to the House of Correction for one month, to be kept to hard labour, for misbehaviour in the service of Mr.John Pain, of Pittleworth.- Sarah Ventham was committed to the bridewell for six months, for being a lewd woman.

Great interest is excited by the match, it having long been talked of.

The spring ploughing match and annual sheep shearing of the Wiltshire Society for the encouragement of Agriculture, &c. were held at Marlborough on Wednesday. Thirteen ploughs were started in the different classes for the several premiums offered by the Society, which were awarded as under, viz.

In the 1st class, being 2 horses without a driver, the 1st premium was awarded to And.Sprewells, a servant of Mr.Goodman of Fyfield, with Tickel's two-wheel plough, who ploughed his half acre in 2 hours and 14 minutes; the 2d to Wm.Balshore, a servant of the same gentleman, with the same description of plough, who ploughed his half acre in 2 hours and 16 minutes; and 3d to Wm.Lawes, a servant of Mr.King, of Overton, with Tickel's two-wheel plough, who ploughed his half acre in 2 hours and 18 minutes.

In the 2d class, being 2 oxen without a driver, there was no competition, there being only one candidate, namely, Wm.Sprewells, servant to Mr.Goodman of Fyfield, with Tickel's two-wheel plough, who ploughed his half acre in 2 hours and 48 minutes; but his work was performed in a very meritorious manner, and the judges felt it their duty to award him the first premium.

In the 3d class, being either with 3 horses and a driver in 2 hours and a half, or with 4 oxen and a driver in 3 hours and a quarter, the 1st premium was awarded to G.Ash, servant to Mr.Goodman of Fyfield, with Tickell's plough, who ploughed his half acre in 2 hours and 7 minutes; the 2d to David Pickett, servant to Mr.Budd of Winterbourne, with Tickell's two-wheel plough, who ploughed his half acre in 2 hours and 36 minutes; and the third to John Robertson, servant to Mr.Bruges of Snapp, with Plenty's plough, who ploughed his half acre in 1 hour and 51 minutes.

Sheep Shearing.- In the 1st class, the 1st premium was awarded to Wm.Hayes of Ogbourn St.Andrew; 2d to Thos.Smith of Overton; and the 3d to Geo.Comner of Milton.

In the 2d class, the 1st premium was awarded to Isaac Risen of Ogbourn; the 2d to Ed.Worrall of Aldbourne; and the third to Joseph Smith of Woodborough.

There were no less than 18 competitors for the above premiums, and the work was generally executed in a very skilful manner.

Only two claims for the premiums for shepherds rearing lambs were delivered to the secretary, viz.one from David Hiscock, shepherd to Mr.Simpkins of Staunton, who reared 380 lambs from 375 ewes, and the other from John Rabbits, shepherd to Mr.Grant, of Manningford Bruce, who reared 407 lambs from 414 ewes; but in consequence of some informality in one of the certificates, the decision was referred to the committee to be assembled on the day previous to the next annual meeting.

The committee were favoured with the company of a very respectable party of members and their friends to dinner, which was provided by Mr.White of the Castle Inn. The Marquess of Ailesbury, with great liberality, presented the committee with a side of beautiful venison, the fattest we think we ever saw; and on the cloth being removed, the health of the noble donor was drunk with three times three, in the most enthusiastic manner. A variety of other toasts succeeded, and we need hardly add that the evening was spent in a most convivial and happy manner, and highly to the satisfaction of all present.

At the above meeting we understand Mr.Stothert of Bath exhibited his patent self-adjusting plough, of which the judges spoke in favourable terms; the draft we hear, is diminished at least 20 per cent, by the judicious alteration which he has the merit of having introduced, and which promises to be productive of important advantages.



At the late meeting of the trustees and managers of the Dorchester Savings Bank, the Rev.Dr.England, Archdeacon of Dorset, was in the chair.

On Monday last, being Trinity Monday, the friendly society of Tollard Farnham held their annual meeting; the members proceeded, accompanied by their band, to Church, where an impressive sermon was delivered by the Rev.Mr.West, Rector of Chettle; after which they partook of an excellent dinner at their club room, and the evening was spent in great harmony.

After the cloth was removed, the secretary read the report of the preceding year, stating the enrolment of many new members, and the increased state of the fund, which diffused general satisfaction. Many loyal toasts and sentiments were introduced by the honorary members present, and the evening was passed in social and convivial enjoyment.



Wild Ducks - A sporting gentleman in the neighbourhood informs us that he has known two instances of wild ducks building their nests in the tops of pollard willow trees hanging over a river, from whence, he imagines, (although he has never witnessed it) that the old birds push their young when of sufficient maturity into the water immediately underneath.
