POOLE, Oct 21.- On Wednesday evening there was a charity sermon preached in the church by the Rev.R.Cox, in aid of the London Society for promoting Christianity amongst the Jews. The collection amounted to upwards of thirteen pounds.
Winchester,
Saturday, October 22.
The Charitable Society of Aliens held their anniversary on Thursday last. In the morning, the stewards, trustees, and apprentices attended divine service at the Cathedral, where a most excellent sermon was delivered by the Rev.T.Scard; and at four o'clock, with a large company of gentlemen, they partook of an excellent dinner and good wines, served by the George Inn. After dinner, several excellent toasts were drunk, and G.R.C. Ricketts, Esq., and Mr.H.Courtney, were chosen stewards for the ensuing year. The donations amounted in the whole to nearly �130.
The general quarter sessions of the peace for this county commenced on Tuesday before Rich.Pollen, Esq. chairman, the Hon.and Rev.A.G.Legge, Sir Thos.Baring, Sir J.W.S.Gardiner, Sir Lucius Curtis, and Sir Wm.Heathcote, Barts; Sir James Fellowes, Knt.; the Rev.W.H.Newbolt, D.D.; Danl.Quarrier, M.D.; Chas.Graeme, J.I.Lochart, R.B.Cox, A.R. Dottin, Wm.Grant, Archibald Swinton, C.S.Lefevre, R.G.Colpoys, and H.B.Withers, Esqrs.; the Rev.E.Poulter, and John Orde, clerks.
The country business began by reading the Treasurer's Report, in which it was stated that the expenditure of the last quarter was �4303 and upwards, of which nearly �300 had been advanced by the treasurer. It also observed, that on calculating the usual expenses of the ensuing quarter, a rate would be required to be paid in at the next sessions, which was ordered accordingly.
By reason of an inconvenience in the premature attendance of the constables, in consequence of the late contraction of the county advertisements, the Magistrates directed Mr.Woodham to prepare a new and more compendious form for their consideration, in order to prevent a similar inconvenience.
Gaol and Bridewell.- The report of these Prisons was read by Sir Thomas Baring : from their contents it appeared that the governors, turnkeys, &c. and also the prisoners themselves, had manifested during the last quarter the most unexceptionable conduct; after accounting for the disposal of the prisoners sentenced at the Midsummer Assizes, it referred to the printed calendar for the number confined there, and stated that the improvements at the County Bridewell were proceeding with all proper dispatch. The report further observed that the borough of Andover and other places which did not contribute to the County Rate ought to pay the expences attendant on all prisoners by them committed to the county Gaol. It also recommended a more explicit wording of the warrants issued by local Magistrates, for the commitment of offenders to the same prison. And in three cases of recent occurrence, where offenders had been committed (by indorsement on the warrant) for trial at the assizes, the Court ordered the prisoners to be brought forward for trial or discharge at the next sessions.
A proposition was made for receiving tenders from tradesmen, &c. in all cases where the expences of the county could be with convienience so regulated; which measure, with the exception of one article, namely, the provision of the prisoners, after some discussion, was referred the committee of general finance.
Sir Thos.Baring stated to the Court, that the proceedings instituted against Mr.Hollis remain in statu quo until the next term.
On Wednesday morning the business of the sessions commenced with hearing of appeals, after which the Court proceeded to try prisoners, when the following received sentences as under:

The annual race and dinner given to the farmers in Mr.ViIlebois's Hunt, takes place at Alresford, on Tuesday, the first of next month.
Christchurch fair, on Monday last, was very thinly attended. There were fewer horses, sheep, and pigs, than for several years past, all of which met with a heavy sale. The following daring theft was committed in the afternoon: a man passing the shop of Mr.Bayly, draper, deliberately ,snatched a cloak from the line on which it hung, and immediately decamped and escaped.
On Tuesday Iast was married at Bognor, by the Rev. Edward Eedle, the Rev.William Knight, Rector of Steventon, Hants, fourth son of Edward Knight, Esq. of Godmersham Park, in Kent, and Chawton House, Hants, to Caroline, eldest daughter of John Portal, Esq. of Freefolk House, in the same county.

Died on the 12th instant at Winkton, near Christchurch, Mr.John Green, aged 76 years, formerly a Newfoundland planter, but for several years past living independently.. He was a man of eccentric habits, and resided quite alone. He complained of illness for a few days before his death, but declined assistance: and on the morning of his dissolution he was found dead in his bed. An inquest was held before Mr.Baldwin; verdict,"Died by the visitation of God."
Yesterday se'nnight died, Mr.John Twynam, of Whitchurch Manor Farm, aged 62 years.
Mildness of the Season.- There are at present in the garden of the Rev.Alexander Morison, of Gowan-Brae Cottage, near Romsey, apple and plum trees in bloom, strawberries quite ripe, and a plentiful second crop of raspberries, many of them nearly the full size. Among a variety of spring-flowers blowing in the open ground, there is a tiger-lily, which flowered in May last, and is now opening again.
Caution.--- A noted informer has just left this city for Salisbury. Many convictions have taken place here, against persons for driving carts. &c. on the turnpike road without having their names and places of residence painted on the off side of the carriage. In one instance a person was convicted in three penalties for having used a dung cart, three successive days in carrying manure from a farm yard adjoining the turnpike road to a field nearly opposite, only passing on the road about a hundred yards. It would be well if all persons in the neighbourhood of Salisbury paid attention to what is required by the Turnpike Acts and have their carts and carriages properly marked with their names at full length. Several bakers have been fined for having alum in their possession.
Romsey, Oct.18.- On Sunday night, about half-past twelve o'clock, a hay-rick, the property of Mr.Jones, paper-manufacturer and butcher, was discovered to be on fire near his paper-mill, and before the engines could be brought to the scene of conflagration, with a sufficient force of active persons to use them effectually, the awfully destructive element had extended its ravages to another rick, and also to an extensive wood and tiled-building, used for the shelter of cows and the fattening of caIves. In a short time the greater part of the hay was consumed,. or converted into mere litter; of 15 fine calves that were in the sheds, 3 only were rescued, the rernaining 12 having been literally burnt to pieces, and the cow-sheds reduced to ashes. The loss occasioned by the fire has not yet been ascertained, but it is very considerable. Fortunately the night was calm, or probably the range of building used for the manufacture at' paper, and other buildngs nearly adjoining, would have been added to the wreck.
On Sunday morning Iast, as James Sanger, a butcher, in the employ of Mr.Lanham, was assisting in fixing the rope to the horns of an ox, preparatory to drawing it up for slaughter, the animal by a sudden jerk of the head, extricated itself, and fixing one of its horns in the groin of Sanger, tossed him over its head. The man was dreadfully lacerated, but great hopes are entertained of his recovery.
Lymington.Oct.21.- Birth.- On Wednesday last, at St.Austin's, near this town, the lady of Ralph Allen Daniell, Esq. of a daughter.
On Friday the 14th inst. died in this town, aged 73 years, Mrs.Sarah Burrard, daughter of the late William Burrard, Esq. of this town, and sister to Sir Harry Burrard, Bart.; a lady, whose exemplary virtues and pious resignation, had endeared her to all who knew her.
On Sunday the 16th inst. died. after a short illness, Mrs.Pedlar, relict of Mr.William Pedlar, butcher, of Lymington, aged 63.
Southampton,
Saturday, October 22.
Our general quarter sessions commenced yesterday before Samuel Le Fevre, Esq. mayor, C.H.Hammond, Esq. recorder, and a full bench of Magistrates. There were only two cases, and those for trivial assaults, tried on the day; the first was that of a person named Goodem, who was sentenced to 1 month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. The other person convicted of an assault was a barrowman named Chandler.
John Frake, for stealing a quantity of bricks, the property of Mr.Barnes, his father-in-law, was tried this day and found guilty, and sentenced to seven years transportation.
After the sessions was closed, the Corporation and other gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood, among whom we noticed the officers of the South Hants Militia, Adm.Scott, Admiral Foot, Wm.Fitzhugh, Esq., W.J. Le Fevre, Esq., &c. partook of an elegant dinner at the Audit House, given by the Worshipful the Mayor, and served by Fowler, of the Crown Inn, in his well known style. The band of the South Hants attended, and the evening was spent in the utmost conviviality.
On Monday evening a meeting was held at the Long Rooms, for forming a branch society for the distribution of Religious Tracts, when General Orde was invited to the chair, which having done, he opened the business of the meeting by stating, that unwilling as he was to stand forward in a public situation, while men more capable of fulfilling the duties stood around him, yet the desire he had to be of service to his fellow creatures, extinguished every other feeling, and forced him to a station which, but for this consideration, he should have shrunk from. He trusted not in his own strength, but in him who held the hearts of men in his keeping. There never was a period when the exertions of Christians were more imperatively called into action, to counteract those pernicious precepts that were disseminated by the enemies of religion, - the more pernicious , as they were offered in the shape of cheap publications, and which the distribution of these tracts was so well calculated to meet. The gallant General, in an eloquent speech, enforced the necessity of being on the alert to answer the growing thirst for knowledge, by a supply of religious books.
TheRev.Mr.Draper cited numerous examples from Ho!yWrit to encourage the meeting not to be dismayed at the magnitude of the work they had to perform with such comparatively small means. The magnificent exertions of the Bible Society never could have been calculated by the humble individual from whose breast the embryo thought had emanated. Small beginning's sometimes produced astonishing effects. Sir Isaac Newton, when a little boy, might have been found Iearning his alphabet, and yet this precious genius unfolded the beauties of creation, and traced the progress of the planetary world. These tracts, simple as they appeared, might be the happy means of introducing the reign of him who should triumph over the powers of darkness.
The Rev.Mr.Pattison, from London, moved that a Tract Soricty be established in this town, to further the objects of the Parent Institution. He forcibly pointed out the advantages to arise from a co-operation with the Parent Institution. Ten Millions of Tracts had aIready been put into circulation; they had been published in 42 languages, even in China, which seemed shut out from rest of the world;- not confining ourselves to domestic usefulness or national good, but spreading abroad the truth among the nations of the Earth.
Mr.White the secretary then moved a string of resolutions which were carried new.com-
The Rev.Mr.Methuen, a minister of the establishment, said that belonging as he did to the Protestant Church, he should be the last man to advise the adoption of the measure proposed if he thought it at all inimical to her interests; but he assured the meeting that he had carefully watched the progress of the institution. and it had met his entire approval. No insidious attacks were contained in the tracts: the reprobation of vice, and the inculcation of moral principles, were alone their object. The society, as it was at present constituted, should have his most strenuous support.
Lieut.Bailey bore testimony to his having witnessed the usefulness of the society's tracts, whilst he was stationed at Gibraltar.
On the Committee being named, Mr.Stanton asked whether any members of the Established Church were not to he named?
The Chairman replied, that they should be happy to receive the assistance of any clergymen who might offer.
Mr.Crabb related many instances of the good results arising from the reading of the tracts.
After the thanks of the meeting had been voted to Gen.Orde, the meeting broke up, and a liberal subscription was made at the door.
On Saturday evening last, on the arrival of the Medina, steam-packet, from the Isle of Wight, a boat, containing a man and boy, who had put off to take the passengers, was by accident drawn under one of the paddles- the boat was stove in and instantly sunk; but by the exertions of the persons in other boats, that had also put off for passengers, the man and boy were preserved.
We are happy to state that Lieut. John Day has been appointed, by the Lords of the Admiralty, commander of the Dove revenue cutter, stationed at Milford Havan.
Died at Southampton on Wednesday last, Wm. Henry Charles Pritchard, Esq. aged 25, years, brother of R.D.Pritchard, Esq. banker.
On Thursday evening an inquest was held at the Yeoman Inn before W.Keele, Esq. one of the Coroners for this town, on the body of James Johnson, a journeyman shoemaker. It appeared from the testimony of a fellow lodger with the deceased, that he had been in apparent good health, that they had breakfasted, and afterwards sat down to work together, and that at the request of the deceased, the witness sung a song, the burthen of which was "Women shall wear the breeches," in the chorus of which the deceased had joined, when. suddenly stopping, he exclaimed "and so they shall," and immediately falling from his seat, expired.- The Jury returned a verdict of "Died by the Visitation of God."
Newport, Oct.21.- The general quarter sessions for this borough and the precincts thereof, were this day holden at our Guildhall, before Thomas Sewell, Esq. Deputy Recorder, Benj.Jolliffe, Esq. Mayor, and Sir Richard Bassett, Justice. - The Deputy Recorder congratulated the grand jury on the appearance of the calendar, which contained very few cases indeed.- Joseph Cowdery, a grocer of this town, was tried and found guilty of an assault of William Salter, the apprentice of Cowdery's brother, and fined 40s. - George Burrows, who was convicted of a riot, in company with divers unknown persons, was sentenced to 14 days confinement to hard labour in our bridewell. Edward Morris was tried and found guilty of refusing to give evidence before the Magistrates acting for the division of the Isle of Wight on the 9th of Sept. last, on a complaint exhibited by the Rev.Henry Worsley, D.D. against George Morris and John Brown for drunkenness on a Sunday, and sentenced to 7 days imprisonment in our bridewell.- The grand jury also found a true bill against Charles Morris, for a similar offence, but he is not yet in custody; and John Hobbs, of Yarmouth was committed to bridewell for want of sureties to abide an order in bastardy.
Previous to the commencement of the sessions, the Mayor and Corporation elected Mr.Percy Scote, of this town, a Burgess of our very ancient and most respectable borough.
On Saturday last James Clarke, of West Cowes, was convicted and fined for having contraband tobacco in his possession.

Our Michaelmas fair, which is in generaI very numerously attended, took place on Tuesday last; and the circumstance of Its occuring on the same day as our fortnightly Cattle market, added considerably to the number of persons who came here upon business. The weather, however, proved most unfavourable both for business and pleasure. It commenced raining about ten o'clock in the morning, and with very little cessation continued till past ten at night, the showers being at times excessively heavy. The consequence was, that many hundreds of persons who came in open carts and on foot, judging that the rain would be permanent, speedily returned to their homes, completely drenched; and the business transacted in the fair, of every description, was necessarily very limited.

The girl who was before, perceiving her dangerous situation, threw off the cloth: but the one behind, apparently more concerned to save the cloth than herself, was carried round with amazing velocity, and jammed between the shafts and the wall.
