And first, let me say, thet for much Dist bas taken

sorry Locket to hold your Lordship responsible, though
I oamiot tut wish that existing impresaione aliptild be
corrected. For example, when 11. r. Floyer stated it
the ISalubury meeting that his resolution wee to lisle
been moved by Lord Shaftesbury who wee detained by
important business in Parliament, thereby leaving upon
the minds of all that his Lordship favoured the Synod,
it most, I am sure, have been through an inadvertency
Chit your Lordship tailed to correct the mistake by in-
forming the meeting that Lird Shaftesbury bed go.

Tlit FAIL—On coconut of the s:h of November
falling this year on Sunday, the fair was held on Mon-
day last. There being plenty of keep about, /took-
owners were not condone to bring forward, and • small
fair was the result. There were only two beasts of
Farmer Comb,n'e, which fetched £l4 etch; Mr. John
Ward had 15 stock wetherv, which went at 464. to
48..: Mr. Ribbotts 11 fat sheep, and they brought 50s.
to 51s. Of small pigs there were about 40, at 184. to
304. each. There was oalone horse, and for him a
eertain tradesmen jestingly bid 404. "All right I"
said the man. "you ehal have him if you've got the
money," and be bit the right mark on ghat wore, for
wben the afferar pulled out his purse, he bade'. near
enough. The hors, was cold to Mx. Jocelyn for £6 5..
The above transactions, with the isle of 22 tons of
mangeld for Imo. wore about all the badness In the
fair, and it ILLS pretty nearly over by eleven o'clock.
rho pleasure fair was in full swing up to • late hoar.
Redd $ the usual gingerbread ant sweets stalls, the
wonderful ezhibition of all iris of curiosities, from •
fat bey to a crocodile, 'looting galleries, and •
mystarious affair, ef which, the plainest thing was that
you were to "pay 21," there was a gigantic whirl.
round, in which the seats were on velocipedes. The
lit:le girls, seated quietly in little boxes, had the bask
of it, for small boys wealu only by loaning dangerously
or •r one side, get a foot on the st..m, and the men that
weikad the machine had hard labour, though assisted
wills might and main by a man in tier Majesty's uni-

through • sleeve. They troubled but little about the
tiny child thet, tricks I out in fantastic dress, gaud
wistfully oat at the children in the crowd, and doubt-
I ea wondered how they could enjoy what to him was
so stale. Ti.e people below kept continually augmenting
and many as were there in the afternoon, there were
still at night. Trida after train brought dozens of
Weymouth swells, some of them we used to think
staid tradesmen, otliers young swells faithful to their
rank, short pipes, while looking out for a new sensa-
tion, scores of poor girls whose finery and paint could
not hide their wrotehedoess, and hundreds of country
yokels of both soxem, some betuuddered with drink, who
c ante to we the sights and hoar the sounds of Portland
Fair. Soleiers and aailore mixed up in the crowd, that
