and oertain property stolen therefrom, and within the
past few weeks the hoes* of Mrs. Goobey, of Keyneston.
and another both.. at Corte Mullen were forcibly entered

were apprehended at Fordingbridge on suspicion of

Oollard, at Winterslow, and also with • burglary at the

BRIDPORT.

THE WATER SUPPLY. —ln musequenoe of •
memorial from several ratepa)ers of the borough,
Dr. George Boohanan one of the inspectors attached
to the Privy Council, came to Bridport on Wednesday
evening. He has had interviews with the mayor
(J. Williams, Esq.), the Town Cloak, Mr. H. N.
Co., the registrar of births and deaths, and on
Thureday, accompanied by the Sanitary Inspector
Mr. Henry Patten, he made • personal inspection of
the borough.

BRIDPORT SCHOOL OR ART.—The Department in
South Kensington offered in 1869, as in 1868, prizes
for the best designs for fans, via, one of £5, two of
£3, three of £2. five of £l. In 1868 there were 84
fans submitted from 26 schools of art; and one fl
prize wsa awarded to a Bridport student. Lest
December 91 fans were submitted from 27 schools
of art, and we are gratified to find, from the report
of the Inspector-General for art, which was received
last Saturday. that the first £3 prize and the first
£1 prise have been awarded to students in this
school, which, in this competition, is second only to
the Central School, at South Kensington. The
higher of these two awards has been given to Mrs.
Bruitley, for a design in every way worthy of the
distinction it has obtained. It wu at once chaste
and nob, and ite character mediaeval. The surface
of the fan was divided by means of curved lines
into seven principal spaces, each being filled withl
the figure of a maypole-danoer, on • grey ground, !
elaborately diapered with gold ; seven smaller
divisions above, and the same number below, were
occupied with gilt ferns carefully mado to support,
but not detract from, the more important portion. I
The other prize is taken by Mrs. Evans for a work
of great delicacy. It consisted of an ornamental
arrangement of the paerion-Hower, surrounding and
forming frames for five elliptical landscapes, with '
cattle. These five transcripts from nature powered I
much freshness, and the animals were spirited and
well grouped ; the white silk on which it was painted
was retained as the ground for the whole design.

PORTLAND.

SHIP ASHOIII.—On Sunday morning last, between
nine and tan, the barque Vinder, of Shoreham,
Davison master, from Taganrog to Leith with 2,000
quarters of linseed, and last from Dartmouth, got
under way to proceed to her destination. The captain
being a stranger, was unacquainted with the depth
of water, stood too far to the westward, and went
ashore on Passage Bar. Efforts were made with the
assistance of the coastguard, to get the ship oft that
tide; but without effect. 'During the day the hewer
anchor was run out by some Wyke boatmen, and
another attempt was made at the night tide, but still
without success. The steamer Commodore was in
attendance; but heel services were refused, or
probably the ship would have Igot off. These being
neap tides and the water dimintshiog, or, in nautical
language, the "tides taking off," it was found
°scenery to take out the cargo to lighten the ship,
and the was oommenoed on Monday morning. If
Lb. weather continue fine, it is probable that the
vessel will be got cif when her cargo is oat.

ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY NEAR

TRO W BR I DG E.

On Wednesday the polies-court at Trowbridge
was crowded with gipsies to witness the trial of one
of their number, namwd Thomas Hughes, who was
brought up in custody, charged with aoraulting
Thomas Winffie, a farmer, of Southwick, with
Intent to rob him. It seems that on Saturday night
last, about half-put eleven, the prneecutor was
returning home from • business transaction, with •
quantity of money in his possession, and was
accosted by the prisoner at a lonely part of the road
in Southwick, a village about seven miles from
Trowbridge. Ihe prisoner, without any panes,
made a lounge at the prosecutor,.who asked "What'.,
that for I.' Prisoner replied with an oath, knockel
the farmer down, fell up.n him, and commenced
ransacking his pockets. Fortunately, the farmer
had the money in his trousers pockets, which the
ruffian had not time to get at, as the farmer shouted
lustily for aid. At this moment two men, named
William Bennett and Albert Pickard, beard the
cries, and ran towards the spot in time to see the
prisoner making off. They gave chase, and overtook
him in an orchard, where he had secreted himself
behind a large apple tree. He rushed from his
hiding-place, and knocked Bennett down, but was
seized by Pickard, who held him till Bennett and
the prosecutor came to his aid, when the prisoner
was overpowered. At this time a strapping great
fellow, named Townsend, an accomplice, came up,
and dared the men to keep prisoner in custody, and
finding the odds were against them, they let the
prisoner go, and gave information to the village
constable, P.C. Richard Perrett, who did not sac.
°sod in tracing the prisoner till seven o'clock on
Sunday morning, when he overtook him an the
From. road. On being charged, his reply was, "
should not have done it if it had not been for the
beer." He was committed for trial, bail being
refused, although a member of the gipsy tribe offered
to procure bail to tho amount of £l,OOO I

H.M.S. BOSC A%V EN.
To the Editor.

Sir,—How is it that we hear nothing about
Theatricals on board the Boecawen now? The
getting-up of these Ferforinanoes used to afford
intense pleasure for long before the events came off.
The minds of the lads were stirred from their slug-
ishness, induced by their long and continuous spells
of duty, and the interest shown by the numerous
visitors from the land made them feel that they were
not cut off from their kind. The training system
is in itself admirably suited for providing such work
an will make accomplished seamen out of raw lade;
hut "all work and no play—" need Igo on?. If
the ship's authorities object to theatricals, let us
bear of some r.ther pleasant occasions on which the
lads and their friends on shore can meet, without
having to resort to the places where they are likely
to receive and do mischief. It it is the case that the
principal reward for good conduct is shore leave, let
the authorities consider what must be the effect of
suddenly for a time letting go control over healthy
well fed young men, unless the latter have been
taught to consider their ship not entirely as a place
for hard work. lam sorry to note at our police
court an instance of a young man actually stealing
for no reason but because he wanted to get away
from the Bososwen. I don't think such a thing has
often happened, and I hope it never will again.—
Yours truly,
BLESS THE LADS.

A WITNOUTH CAPTAIN LOST IN • FRENCH POBT.—I•
Ii very much feared that some foul play has been prat.
Used upon a very reputable captain of a Weymouth
vessel, Captain A ttwooll. • native of Portland. It will
be remembered that the Jane Innea, • abort time batik,
when on her voyage to Cherbourg with sods, was
abandoned by her Ham captain (Hawkins) and drew,
who reported her in a sinking state. She was after-
wards found by Nome Fresehmen, who took possession
of her and took her into the port of Havre. From thence
• demand of £220 was made by the salvors, and had to
be pd4i. The consul at Havre la Mr. Bernal, eon of •
former Liberal M.P. for Weymouth, and be took • greet
interest in the matter, and got it settled as well and as
quickly., he could. Raving sent the money, the owners
appointed Captain Attwooll, of Portland, a seaman of
inoillent character, and who has been well known for •
it sidersble time, to take charge of the trawl to Cher-
bourg. Captain Attsrooll went by way of Southampton
. Havre, and seems to have arrived about the 10th.
The owners supposed that he would proceed with the
vessel directly; but shortly after there mune a telegram
from Mr. Bernal stating that Captain Attwooll could
not be found. A letter was afterwards received from
Mr. Bernal, who wrote that be had had every search
made for the captain, hut he could not be found. The
lad time be wan seen was in a tavern. It should be here
noted that Captain Attwooll was a sober man, by no
means given to excess, Mr. It Ayles communicated
with Mrs. Atteooll at Portland, and she was of course
in very great distress. Repeated telegrams have passed
between Havre and Weymouth ; but only with the
same distressing result. Captain Parsons, of the James,
has been dispatched it take the Jane lone. to Cher-
bourg, and a member of Captain Atteooll's family haa
proceeded to Havre. to mare!) for their missing relative.
This Front* port is frequented by men of all nations,
and it is said that a Weymouth sailor was sometime ago
missing that, and found deespiteted in the dock.

THE ALLEGED CRUELTY TO A HEIFER.

To the Editor.

SlR,—Referring to the case of Mr;
alleged cruelty to a heifer. that appeared in your 'lit
impression, and which resulted in • conviction and
fine of £5, you state that one of the mag,strates
thought imprisonment should he intli .ted. N0..1
should like to know, if Lord Poltimme had pro
-
*muted a near relative of one of the magistrates for
deliberately jumping his horse over • hurdle on to
the back of one of his bounds, smashing her leg in,'
causing other serious injuries, without the slightest
cause for doing so, as the pack were not runninz,
what would bave been the result' Would he
have been imprisoned ! Perhaps not for this.;
but, as he rode on. perfectly regardless of tile
agonised cries of the poor animal, and left her to her
fate, what would have been done under these aggr•
vated eircumeances Rounds, I suppose, have
feelings as well &it heifers, but would it not be great
presumption on my part to imagine, that if convicted
before his relative, be would have had three months'
imprim.nment I although, surely, this was a very
wanton came of cruelty.— Yours. &a.,
A LATER OF MALICE.

To the EG'itor.
Sir,—Some misapprehensio.l appears to exist as to
the time which elapsed from Mr. Homer's heifer
being found crippled to it. sale, in consequence of
Mr. Symonds bolding his fortnig.ht.ly sale the week
before Christmas on Thursday. T."te heifer was die.
covered to be lame on Wednesday, and it was sold
the next day. It was carefully taken iolborcliester
in a cart well bedded with straw, and I oust conies,
being unable to see any cruelty in the' removal.
What happened after the sale of the anim I. it is
unfair to bold Mr. Homer responsible for. Pe had
en further power over it, and could neither orde- its
immediate slaughter nor prevent its conveyance
whatever distance or in whatever way the Furchatee
chose. If any cruelty was experienced by the heifer
during the two days it lived from going lame, it was
clearly not while it was Mr. Homer's property. and
—I don't know much about magistrates' law—but I
should think a conviction under these ctrcurnstincee
could not be maintained if appealed against.—Yours

To the Editor.

Sir,—l remember reading some ,en months er.,
an account in your paper bow the boy,
board H. M. 's training ship Hoes-seaven
treated and how happy both they and the men ~f
the ship were. From toy experience of an Engine
man-of•war's man be is generally happy either
board or on shore, and does not complain without
cause. But if he is not comfortable, then Jaek
Lecomes a different man; for if he gets on sphere hs
is sure to get drunk to drown his care; then be doer ,
not care about going on board theship. Such is the
reason of so much leave-breaking, and so many
•arrante being read, and the jail soon becomes cud.
This should be avoided in a training ship above ell
others, for it sets the boys a had example. If they
see petty officers and men getting drunk ani
breaking their leave, when they get a chance they
do the same. In the much respected Captain Leach
and Captain Fairfaz's time there was not a warrant
read in a twelvemonth. Captain Leach gave the
men and boys every privilege he could, and had ea
kinds of amusements for them in the long winter
nights to such as did not often go on shore, and very
few went, for there is not any place of amusement
fur • man to enjoy himself in, hut the pnblieh,".
So in the ship they enjoyed themselves better than
on shore, for they had their plays (and very nice one!
they were, for! myself saw them), then there wee a
glee class, nigger parties, and dancing on the main
deck with the band, and Captain Leach himself gare
reading', fireworks, and magic lanterns. In fact
there was something every night, and the friends of
the men and boys would go on board Worse it. Th.,
instructors took a delight in trying to amass th
boys under their training.
It is the officers that make the navy popular or
unpopular, and if tbey do the latter we may be Us
the same fix as the army was a few years ago.
Relying on your kindness for • little space in yew
valuable journal, I hope that it will meet the eye,
of those who have the power to alter the system, and
the sooner the better. lam only speaking for these
who cannot or dare not speak for themselves. I
oould say a great deal more ; but will he silent at
present, hoping the hint will be taken before I writs

THE REJECTED FIRE ESCAPE

The manager of the Star and Garber hotel, at
Richmond, was burnt to death—so it said—for want
of a fire-escape. Richmond used to have one, but it
became rejected by all the official personages. The
funniest part of the story—though it is grim and
ghastly fun indeed—is to be found in the letter from
the vicar of Richmond on this subject. It wee read
on Saturday last at the special meeting of the
Richmond local authorities, held at the Town.
hall. The Reverend Charles 'T. Procter had de.
cl:,,ed to allow the fire-011101p0 to be plamia in
tho churchyard on two grounds. The first—so
the rtverend gentleman pate it—was, that he
was acting from purely conscientious motives. The
second was, that he looked upon a churchyard
as lily ground, "act apart from 'ocular and profane
use." The Vicar feared that if he gave the per-
inv.:ion, he should shock the religious feeling* of
many religions persons in Richmond. We have
read of something of the like kind in the history
of British India. When the practice of Suttee—
that is, of burning widows alive on the funeral
pyre. of their husbands—was pot down, no doubt a
weat shock was given to the religious feelings ot
many devout Hiniooe. Again, the Vicar and the
religious people of Richmond might well have con.
sidered that, as the use of a churchyard is that of a
receptacle for the deed, and as the use of a fire.
escape is to keep people unhurt and alive, there is a
cruel irony in keeping the fire-escape in the church-
yard. It fa • question of government by party.
Life in one party—Death the other. Coalitions
never answer in England.
It is reported that the Rev. C. T. Procter has
since refused to allow the choir boys of the pariah
church to sing at a oonciert in aid of the Richmond
lo6rmery, on the ground that they might be required
to sing secular music.
