Weymouth, October 19.
Our theatre closes next Friday, - On Monday the performances will be patronized by Mrs.Kemys Tynte[?], for the benefit of Miss Dunbar; on Wednesday Mr.Simpson will receive the reward due to his merits from the interest of Captain Jackson and the officers of the Royal Navy; and on Friday (the last night) Mr.Harvey, the excellent and respected manager will be honored with the powerful patronage of Mrs.Charles Buxton.
Our esplande, which as such is acknowledged to be unparalleled in point of beauty as to its prospect, is now enlarged to a full mile in length.
Arrived here on Thursday from Southampton, the King George 4th Steam Packet, having on board the Marchioness of Bute and suite, who landed and proceeded to Luce's Hotel. The King George started early this morning, on board of which the Marchioness again embarked, bound to the westward.
Monday, being the day appointed for holding our Town Sessions, the Corporation partook of an excellent dejeune at the residence of Wm.Oakley, Esq., our worthy Mayor; after which the Mayor, Bailiffs, Aldermen, and principal burgesses walked in procession from the Mayor's house to the town hall: on this occasion the Mayor wore the gold chain and jewel attached to the office of chief magistrate of Weymouth. The Juries were sworn, but there being no judicial business to engage the Court, after receiving the presentments of the Grand Jury, it was adjourned, proving, to the credit of the town, a maiden sessions.- In the evening the Mayor gave an excellent entertainment at Luce's Hotel, to Mr.Masterton Ure, M.P., and the body corporate. Dinners were also given to the grand and leet juries: the former at the Golden Lion Inn, and the latter at the Cooper's Arms and Old Booms, while the Mayor's officers were amply provided for at the Antelope.
Breakwater for Portland Roads.- The reason for Mr.Harvey's proposing two miles and a quarter for the length of the breakwater, in preference to any shorter distance, is, that it will completely shelter Weymouth pier, harbour, and bathing place, when it blows hard from the south-east. The point of termination will then be on the remaining part of the wreck of the unfortunate Abergavenny, in about 9 fathoms of water; and it is a matter of no little moment, that a vessel may from that point clear Portland with the wind at south-east, without making a tack. The necessary position can be more readily gained by vessels working up to it under the lee, or shelter of the breakwater than when exposed, as at present, to the full power of the unobstructed sea, and which, if the breakwater was of shorter extension than two miles and a quarter, they would still have to contend against.
Poole, October 19.
Died, Elizabeth Palmer, aged 80 years, wife of the late Mr.George Palmer, boat builder, of this place.
Winchester.
Saturday, October 20.
The Lord Bishop of Winchester has appointed the Rev.H.I.Oxenham to the curacy of Whitchurch, in this county.

Hants Michaelmas Sessions.- The county business commenced on Tuesday at the Grand Jury Chamber in this city, before the following Magistrates : Richard Pollen, Esq. chairman; the Hon.and Rev. A.G.Legge, the Hon.G.W.Cage, Sir Thomas Baring, Sir William Heathcote, Barts; Sir James Fellowes, Sir H.W.Wilson, Knts; Dr.Burney, Thos.Butler, Robert Drummond, John Duthy, F.Baring, J.Fleming, J.B.Carter, R.B.Cox, George Eyre, William Grant, S.R.Jarvis, E.G.Jones, George Lovell, Joseph May, Daniel Quarrier, --- Rainer, S.Wall, Esqrs; Rev.E.Poulter, B.Poulter, J.Coles, Robert Wright, Clerks.
The Treasurer reported that the expences of the last quarter were �3224 leaving a balance (independent of a rate amounting to �2600 received at the present sessions) of �1929 12s 5d. On estimating the probable expenditure of the approaching quarter, it appeared that a rate of one penny in the pound would be required at the next sessions, which rate was ordered accordingly.
Sir Thomas Baring read the Report of the Visiting Justices of the Gaol and Bridewell, which proved in general very satisfactory. As to the Bridewelll, the report alluded to the recent endeavours of the Justices to establish some plan of profitable labour for the prisoners, in which they had as yet very partially succeeded, and recommended applications to be made to the Poor-house and County Hospital to purchase their bread and flour of the bridewell, by which means the prisoners could be kept in constant work. In consequence of a recent order for increasing the prison allowance to those prisoners who worked hard, and excluding all supplies of food from their friends without the walls, a temporary disturbance had arisen, but soon subsided on the ringleaders being slightly punished. The Justices recommended five of the prisoners as proper to be certified by the Court of Quarter Sessions as candidates for his Majesty's clemency in a remission of the remainder of their sentences.

The trustees and directors of the Hampshire Friendly Society held a meeting at the grand jury chamber in Winchester, on Tuesday last, when 57 new members were admitted, and the quarterly accounts audited, by which it appeared that there was a further balance in hand for investment in the Bank of England.- The tables for endowment of children were ordered to be extended, so as to meet more cases than at present, and give an opportunity of securing those advantages by a single payment, the same as in the other classes. - The present number of members is about 800, and the invested capital exceeds �6,000.
The charitable society of Gentlemen Aliens celebrated their 107th anniversary in this city on Thursday. The steward and trustees assembled at the George Inn, at 10 o'clock, and proceeded to divine service at the cathedral, where a very excellent sermon was preached by the Rev.H.T.Dampier, Rector of Crawley. At five o'clock upwards of 40 gentlemen sat down to a feast at St.John's House, which was enriched by donations of game from several noblemen and gentlemen, and extremely well served by Mr.Freeman, of the George. Many excellent toasts were given, and professional and other music contributed to enliven the social party throughout the evening. The subscriptions amounted to �176 8s 2d being the largest collection known since the year 1814. The Rev.Henry Huntingford and Mr.Frederick Caiger, solicitor, were chosen stewards for next year.
The Annual Sermon in aid of the Funds of the National Schools in Portsmouth, will be preached tomorrow at St.Thomas's Church, by the Venerable and Rev.Liscombe Clarke, A.M.
The ball on Thursday evening, the 11th inst., at the new town hall, Andover, was attended by a highly respectable assemblage of beauty and fashion, amongst whom were the Members of the borough, and several families of distinction in the town and neighbourhood. Quadrilles and country dances were the alternative order of the night. Under the direction of Ralph Etwall, Esq., the steward, every possible attention was paid to the comfort and convenience of the company. Mr.Payne, of Salisbury, officiated as M.C., and was, as usual, unremitting in his polite attentions. The last two years the Weyhill balls were unavoidably discontinued, on account of the unsafe state of the old town-hall, ad the unfinished state of the new building; but never was assembly conducted with more general satisfaction than the above , and its successful revival will no doubt tend to insure a similar reception in future.
Price of Lambs at Weyhill Fair.- The report mentioned in our last Journal, that some lambs fetched more than 28s per head at this fair, is erroneous, - as none were sold so high as those of Mr.Brewer (28s) by 4s or 5s per head.

He next adverted to the late alterations in the Criminal Laws, and remarked upon certain cases in the calendar which would be affected by the operation of those laws. He most strongly recommended to the serious attention of the Magistracy and Juries the great benefit that would accrue to the public generally by the establishment of Mendicity Societies in every town in the county, and instanced this borough, where, though 97 appeals had been made at the office in the course of the past year, a beggar had scarcely ever been seen in the streets.
