Tionenrarza PITCHED CORN MARKET, Saturday.
—There was a good supply of wheat on offer to-day,
which met a ready sale at an advance of from 3s. to
4s. per quarter over last week. Barley, oats, and
beans realized advanced rates. —The weather con-
tinned unsettled, and having had forty-eight hours of
almost incessant rain with frequent gusts of wind,
cannot fail to have dune a vast amount of injury to the
cr,ps.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE POULTRY SIR/W.-410
show opened on Saturday last, and although not so
large 32 usual, owing to the wet season, it was a
lirst-rate exhibition. There were 704 pens, all of
which were excellent. The constant care and atten-
tion which have been so long given to the impro-
ving of the several breeds, and the ripened judgment
of the public in regard to their excellence, all tend to
the production of really good birds, no inferior ones
being now seen at these great collections. We are
happy to observe that our local exhibitors were, as
usual, successful. Mrs. Henry Fookes, of Whit-
church, took the third prize for a pen (No. ins) if
partridge Cochin China Chicken, and a pen (No. h 9)
of buff Cochin WAS highly commended. Mr. Mam

improved white Dorset geese; awl hue two pens of
Malays were highly commended. The judges were

MARRIAGE WITH A Dzesssim Wires SISTER.--
In the House of Lords, on Tuesday, the Earl of
Clarendon presented petitions f l2ll corporations
of England and Wales in favour of legalising marriage
with a deceased wife's sister. The corporations
include Bath, Bristol, Dorchester, Glastonbury,
Ilchester. Poole, Wareham, and Winchester.

VuLUNTEER Itirocs.—The volunteers belonging to !
the Dorchester corps are indefatigable in target '
practice, and several have attained a far higher state
of proficiency than could have been anticipated in
so short a time. On Wednesday evening the mem-
bers will meet on parade, and receive 211 ro Is
each of blank cartridge Sr the following day's exer-
cise at Lulworth. On Thunsilay morning the corps
will assemble in undress, with cross belts and rah.%
at eight o'clock, and proceed to Wool by the South
Western Railway, and thence to Lulworth for the
day ; returning by boat to Weymouth in the even-
ing, and arriving at Dorchester by the last up train
at night.
Pocice Ixrecontever.—On Monday last Sophia
Will 4 was liniught up on remand, charged with
stealing a brooch and an endinailerial collar, the
property of Ann Ellery. The prosecutrix left a parcel
at the Plume of Feathers Inn, where prisoner was
living as servant, and when she called for it to take
it home, she discovered that it had been opened.
The prisoner's box was searched, and she missing
articles found in it. Having already been in gaol
for a week, she was co 'llea fur three weeks longer.
CONEY-ASP*: OE A CoNVICT RESPECTING THE LATE
PLATE ItOBRERY.—It will be in the recollection of
our mailers that in the month of December last, the
premises of Mr. Hodges, wine merchant, were broken
into, and plate and other articles to a considerable
amount stolen therefrom. A great degree of mystery
seemed attached to the affair, as it was quite
evident that some one who knew the premises must
be connected with thu robbery, and such, it would
seem, is really the MO. A coat stolen at Weymouth,
where the party con 111 l itted a burglary, was traced
by Superintendent Pocncy to a pawnbroker's shop
and pledged in the name of Frederick Johnson ; and
from other information which was obtained, Mr.
Hodges felt pretty certain that a man, sentenced to
5 years' penal servitude at the March assizes at
Exeter for burglary at Torquay, in the name of
Frederick Johnson, was the man who committed the
robbery at his house. L7ixin ascertaining that this
man was undergoing a portion of his imprisonment
at Pentenville, Mr. Hodges obtained an order from
the Secretary of State, for permission to visit him in
reference to the matter. The application was
acceded to, and Mr. Hodges saw him, when he made
a full confession of his guilt, and stated that the
plate was hid in two separate places—one was hid
hy himself in a rabbits' hole at Monkton, where,
it will be recollected several of the stolen articles
were found sonic weeks since. The other portion
was hid by himself and a confederate, between
Nottington and the two nide-stone on the Weymouth
road, hut as Mr. Hodges conceived that it would be
impossible to find it unless one of the parties was pre.
sent to point out the 81.4, he mad, a second application
to the Secretary of State for pernii..iou to have the
man lirought 111,Wil at his (Mr. li expense. Ac-
cordingly on Tuesday evening last the man arrived,
atroostienied by two warders, and was lodged in
gaol for the ni,lit, and the next morning the party,
accompanied by Superintendent Pouncy, proceeded
to where the property was said to be hid. The man
pointed out the spid at Monkton„ where AGM of
the articles had been found, but he was unable to
find the ether things near Nottingtoa, and there is
DO doubt that he had either forgotten the exact spot
where they were hidden, or, what is perhaps more
likely, his confederate bad broken confidence with
him and gone by himself and taken them away. It
seems that the robbery in question had been planned
