THE ADDRESS OF CONDOLENCE FROM THE

MAGISTRATES OF DORSET.

The following reply to the address agreed to at
the last Quarter Sessions has been reed i—
" Warn:HALL, 4th January, 1615,9ir,—1 am
directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to acknow-
ledge the receipt of the loyal and dutiful address of
the Magistracy and Grand Jury of the county of
Dorset, on the oecasion of the death of His Royal
Highness the Prince Consort, and to inform you that
Sir George Grey will take an early opportunity of
laying the address before Her Majesty. lam, Sir,
your obedient servant, H. WADDINGTON. —TO the
Clerk of the Peace, County Hall, Dorchester."

DORCHESTER PITCHED CORN MARKET, Saturday,
January 11.—There was a moderate attendance at
market to-day. The wheat trade was in a sluggish
state. A few lota of barley changed bands at from
275. to 335. 6d. per quarter. Other descriptions of
grain dull.
ST. PETER'S CHURCH CHOIR.—On Sunday last a
very appropriate sermon on behalf of the above choir
was preached by the Rev. T. S. Hill, 8.C.L.,
Chaplain of the Salisbury Infirmary. Prayers were
said by the Rev. Morton Colson, rector, and the
anthem taken from the Bth Psalm, was given in a
superior manner by the choir. Indeed, the way in
which the whole of the musical part of the service
was performed reflects great credit both on the
organist and every one connected with him. The
rev, gentleman selected as the subject of his dis-
course the 15th verse of the 14th chapter of Ist
Corinthians, and part of the 16th verse of the 3rd
chapter of the let Colossians. His remarks were calcu-
lated to arouse a deeper and more earnest spirit in
the public services of the church, and we have no
doubt that those who had the privilege of listening
to them were not only edified, but much gratified
by the excellent defence of the doctrines and practice
of the Church of England. Referring to the time
when she was purified from the superstitions and
errors which had from time to time crept into tbe
Romish church, he passed on to notice that in the
church at Jerusalem, Antioch, and other places in
the East, and even Rome itself, the prayers of the
church were read in the native language; and in ac-
cordance with those ancient liturgies, the Book of
Common Prayer used in the Church of England had
been compiled, with the avowed object that the
people as well as the ministers, should take part in
the servioe. As a proof of the earnest devotion of
the worshippers in thoee days, he sated that an
ancient writer mentions that the sound of the
"Amen" uttered by them, was like to a clap of
thunder—all joining in giving a hearty response to
the supplication of the priest; and he inquired why
it should not be so now? In too many churches the
voice of the minister and the response of the clerk
and choir were the only sounds heard. How differ-
ent would be the services of the church, did every
worshipper, as in ancient times, join in her services,
and with one united voice, supplicate the mercy of
the Almighty; or joining in her hymns of praise
ascribing with one voice, "Glory to God." By thus,
uniting, they would, though conscious of many im-
perfections, feel they were in some faint degree
emulating the saints and angels around the throne of
God, and preparing themselves to take part in the
holy worship of the church triumphant.—During
the reading of the Offertory Service, the sum of
£6 12s. 6d. was collected, which we would sincerely
hope will be further increased by donations from
those of the congregation who, from the unpropiti-
ous state of the weather, were unable to attend.
DRUPE AND FIST BAND.—The second anniversary
of these devotees to music was held on Friday
evening last, at the George Inn, under the presi-
dency of Sergeant-Major Newman, of tbe 3rd Dorset
(Dorchester) Rifles, Mr. Davis, Manager of the
Savings Bank, occupying the vice.ohair. A very
excellent and bountiful supply of the good things of
this life was provided by mine host Lowden, to
which between 50 and 60 eat down, including several
members of the Rifle corps. After the cloth was
removed, the Chairman gave "The Queen," alluding
in feeling terms to the loss her Majesty had suatained
by the lamented death of the Prince Consort. (The
toast was drunk in silence.) The other loyal and
patriotic toasts were then given and responded to,
and afterwaids "The Rifle Corps." "Success to
the Drum and Fife Band," was then given from the
Chair, in proposing which Mr. Newman expressed
his sincere desire that the Drum and Fife Band might
meet with more support, so that the members might
be encouraged to persevere. The toast was acknow-
ledged by one of the members. The "Health of
the Bandmaster was next given, in replying to which
Mr. Dawe reviewed the origin of the Band, and said
he beleived there were many gentlemen living in the
neighbourhood, who, if applied to, would most
cheerfully give every assistance. Various other toasts
were proposed, and duly responded to, including
those of the healths of Mr. Greening and Mr. Drake,
to whose unwearied exertions and liberality the
success of the movement is mainly to be attributed.
The pleasures of the evening were considerably
enhanced by the excellent performance, on fifes, of
several pieces, and the singing of some songs in
capital style. Altogether the gathering was a very
agreeable one, and in concluding our notice we may
remark that whereas the other bands are seldom
heard except about Christmas and the New Year,
the Drum and Fife Band often during the year
waken up thvillence of the evening by that inspi-
riting strains, and therefore it is the more worthy of
support. We at the same time would suggest to
those gentlemen who take so great an interest in its
success, the necessity of checking those habits of
intemperance which we much fear the juveniles
composing the Band, are exposed to, and which,
.11
once contracted, so often prove the bane of after-life.
Trusting this hint will be received by all oonoerned
in the same spirit as it is given, we conclude by
wishing the Drum and Fife Band every success.
NATIONAL SCHOOLS.—The past week has been
one of no small amount of pleasure to the children
attending the above echools. On Thursday the
younger portion of the girls had their annual
holiday, at the School-room, Bell-street, where
they were most liberally entertained with
cake and tea, and afterwards enjoyed themselves
with various games suitable to their infantile cape-
cities.—On the following afternoon the elder scholars
bad their treat, and if their games were more suit-
able to their years, certainly they appeared to be
quite as exhilirating, and they joined in them with
a heartiness and goodwill, which spoke well both for
the strength of their lungs and the soundness of
their under-standings.—The boys partook of their
treat at the Boys' National Schoolroom on Friday,
the room being tastefully decorated for the occasion,
and suitable mottoes were suspended on the aide of
the walls. After regaling themselves with the good
cheer provided, they were amused by the interesting
magic lantern, and spent a very happy evening
together. Too much praise cannot be given to those
kind friends, who not only furnish to a great extent
the means of imparting a sound religious education
to the risrng race, but also contribute at stated times
to give a stimulus to good conduct and perseverance
in study, in the shape of anniversary festivals and
rejoicings.
WESLEYAN MISSIONS.—Our readers will perceive
by public announcement, that sermons on behalf of
the above missions will be preached on Sunday next,
by the Rev. Robert Cooke; and from the well-known
ability and, eloquence of the preacher we have no'
doubt many will be induced to attend. The public)
meeting will be held the following evening, when
several ministers and gentlemen connected with the
various Dissenting bodies are expected to be present.

---- -- —.-
EVER/MOT. —William Groves, Richard Hoskins, 1
William Jessup, and Stephen Coates, were charged
with trespassing on the land of Lord Ilcheater in
search of game, on Sunday, the 22nd December.—
Mr. Basket prosecuted, and P.C. Florence proved
the case. The Bench fined the parties 20s.
and costa, and informed them that they would
always inflict a heavier penalty for offences com-
mitted on Sundays than on week-dafs. The
money was paid.—Thomas Howe, a carrier, was
fined 10s. and costs, for allowing his horse and van
to pain along the Grinistone turnpike-road without
anyone attending it. The reins were thrown over
the horse's back, and there was a little girl, about
ten years old, in the van, and defendant was a long
way behind. The Bench said no person under
thirteen years of ag• was permitted to drive a horse
along a turnpike-road.—Thomas Cox, a carrier,
was brought up by P.C. Florence charged with
stealing hay belonging to Mr. John Larking. It
appeared that the constable was passing Mr.
Larking', hay-honse, when he heard some rustling,
and on going to the spot he saw the prisoner filling
a sack with hay. Prisoner begged the constable to
say nothing about it, or he would be ruined. He
had a hay-stack of his own but a few yards off. The
hay stolen was worth 3d.—Prisoner was sentenced
to 21 days' hard labour.
STINSFOR.D. —Charles Squire and William 13arfoot
were summoned by Mr. Cake, of Timpeon Farm, for
neglect of duty on Christmaoday. It
that the men were employed by the oomplrinurd
as
general lahourers, bet it is Mr. Cake's rule to make
all the men on his farm attend to a portion of his
cattle on Sundays. To Squire he agreed to give 9d.
extra for Sunday work, but he told Bartoot that he
would give him "a little something bye-and-by."
On the day before Christmas the men :raked their
master for permission to have • holiday on Christmas-
day. He refused to allow them to go, and they took
"French leave," after getting some of the other men
on the farm to look after the stock for them. When
they returned to their work on the day following,
complainant told them he should summon them for
mieconduct.—The Bench asked complainant if he
meant to pay the men for working for Christmas-
day? Complainant replied in the affirmative.
Squire : " Don't belieee that, gentlemen—let him
alone to that."—The Bench said the men coi-
tal* had no right to leave without their
master's consent, but as they were always on
the farm every Sunday, there might be some
excuse for their wishing to leave on Christmas-
day. Under the circumstances, they would be fined
Is. each, and the costs would be remitted. The men
said they could not pay as Mr. Cake had not paid
their wages. The Bench ordered that the la. should
' be deducted from their wages, and that Mr. Cake
pay the money.—Samuel Day was charged by John
Vine with leaving ffis service without due notice. It
appeared that the complainant agreed to give the
boy his board, lodging, and 2s. a week, l'he boy
was with him 8 weeks, and while there, complainant
was answerable for a pair of boots for him 13a., and
a pair of leggings, es. 6d. He consequently owed
is. 6. when he left. The agreement was by the
month.—Defendant said there was no regular agree-
ment, and be gave his master a week and three
days' notice. When he was leaving, his master hid
from him his clothes, to prevent his going. Com-
plainant denied that he received notice from the boy.
On one occasion, he sent him out his breakfast to eat
while be was driving the churn, and the boy brought
it in and said, be could not eat and work too, and
he told him then to be off to his work. Other boys
that he had, had ate while they worked at churning.
—Defendant said he left because he had not enough
food. He told is master he had not sufficient cut
off for him an his master told him, he was to
"guide it." er denied that theta was any
agreement aborit giving notice on either side.
—Case dismissed.

itrioTintrai-..-LMary Crib was charged by P.C.
Rill with stealing a portion of a fence, enclosing a
plantation belonging to the Earl of llchester. M.
Basket prosecuted. —Fined 2a. 6d., including costa.
—Mary Marsh pleaded guilty of stealing some
turnips from a field belonging to Mr. James White,
on the 28th December. Mr. White said he did wish
to press the case severely against the defendant, but
he had lost a large number of turnips lately.—Fined
2s. 6d, including costs.
TOLLER FRATRUM.—Henry Fox, a boy appa-
rently about 8 or 9 years of age, was summoned by
Robert Gray, gamekeeper for Lord Wynford, for
poaching on some lands in the occupation of Mr.
Whittle. Complainant said the boy's fat,ber was
working near the place, and about 9 o'clock on the
morning of the 23rd as he was watching,
he saw the boy going to his father to
work, and pick up the rabbit and the wire, and walk
off with it, when he went and took it from him. Re
afterwards went to the boy's father, and he said he
did not believe the boy set the wire.—The Bench
said they could not believe that the boy could have
set the wire, and consequently the case was dis-
missed.

Otvintuntoris.—Ceorge Sansom WBB charged by
P.C. Hepditch with stealing 13 swede turnips, the
property of Mr. John But, his master, on the 6th
January. Witness apprehended the defendant as
he was leaving the turnip field, and defendant told
him it was no use going to his master, as he would
give him turnips whenever he asked for them.—Mr.
Beat said it was quite true he would have given
defendant as many turnips as he wanted, provided
he had asked for them, and the only reason he
allowed the case to come before the Bench was to
show him he must not take things without leave.
However, he believed this was the first case, and he
asked the Bench to inflict as low a penalty as
possible.—Fined 6d., including value of two turnip.
and costs.

BROADILLYN/L— Samuel Coleman WU charged
with drunkenness at Broadmayne.—The defendant
admitted that be had been keeping up old Christ-
mu, but denied that he was drunk, as he could walk
as straight as • line. But the policeman had im-
pouned his horse, and told him it was 2s. to get it
out again, and that made him rather savage. Then
the policeman came to him again, and wanted to
know if he Intended to take the horse out,
and he would confess that he gave him •
little " bangeration." He swore at him a
good bit, "more perhaps that he ought," but that
was all.—Fined 55., and 7s. costa.

Ponnagn.—Jane Legg, a domestic servant, was
charged with stealing various articles of wearing
apparel, the property of her mistress, Isabella
Winter, landlady of the Portland Arms Inn, Port-
land.—Mr. Howard appeared for the prisoner.—The
prosecntrix said that she had recently missed various
articles of wearing apparel, and other articles be-
longing to the house. Having a suspicion of the
prisoner, she obtained permission on Sunday evening
to search her box. She identified a pocket handker-
chief belonging to herself, and another belonging to
her rider. The next morning Sergeant Hitch called
at the house, and she told him what hifl4 occurred,
and he also searched the box, when she discovered a
white apron and a flannel petticoat. There were
other things she was positive were hers, bat as they
were not marked she would not swear to them.
Sergeant Hitch also found the key of the wine cellar
between an old chest and prisoner's box. Another
person occupied the same room, and prisoner's box
was not locked. She could go into the room when
she pleased.—Sergeant Hitch gave corroborative
evidence respecting the finding of the articles on
Monday morning.—The prisoner produced testi-
monials of character, and pleaded guilty.—Sentenoed
to four mouths' hard labour.--Robert Gard and
Richard Thera, charged at the last Quarter Seditious
for the county with stealing a pair of boots at
Bridport, bet acquitted for want of evidence,
were now charged with stealing about four
shillings in copper money, the property of Philippa
Attwood. It appeared that the prisoners last
weak visited Portland tinder the pretence that
they were in the employ of the mint authorities to
collect all the copper coin. They went to various
shops on the island, and inspected their old coin to
ascertain how much they had got, promising to call
in half-an-hour and exchange new coin for it. It ii
needless to say they never called with the promised
new coinage. The present complainant knew she
had 5. worth of oopper in a tin box, and about 3s.
in her till, and that she consequently must have
placed Ba. worth of copper on the counter for the
Mint authorities" to examine, but after they were
gone, on counting it over, she found that about 4s.
Worth of the copper money was gone. She gave
information to Sergeant Hitch, who, having apper-
tained that they had exchanged 10s. or lls. worth
of copper on the island before they left Portland,
followed them to Weymouth, and took them into
custody.—They were sentenced to 3 months' hard
labour.

WEYMOUTH. Erreumvs ROBIERY OP
V•LU•SLIS PROM 81R JAMES DUNDAR'B, AND
FORTUN ATI CAPTURE OP THE THIR7.-011 Friday,

thA

-.oaf he •
itandtrtr,
he wished to he allowed to have returned to him the
twine of the fare between Reading and -Paddingtoa.
He went into the office and filled up the usual form,
which he duly signed, and then left, but the railway
authorities did not observe the direction be took.
Directly after his departure from the office a tele-
graphic message was received stating that a person
bad. left Weymouth by the early train with the
produce of a robbery, and the number of the. ticket
unwed was given. The ticket taken from the young
mats was at once examined, awl the numbers were
found to correspond and this furnished condole*
proof that the late holder of it was the delinquent.
He was traced to the station of the Soetli-Eietent
Railway Company, sad the pollee were immediately
communicated with, upon which Mr. Rice, one of
the inspectors, went to the ststion, and in a verricse
of the 12 train, which was within two Minute's' of
starting, he found Om young man, whom he took Mtn
custody. He then gave to .the inspector a hand-
some antique gold watch, set with diamonds, vain*
about .6100, and a number of other articles of
Jewellery, which he took from his pockets, admitting
that he hail stolen them from Sir James Dundee's at
Weymouth, in whale service he had been as foot,'
man. He had with him a carpet bag, which
contained a quantity of plate, Sta., to the al u e of
about £2OO. The prisoner, named Charles' Edward
Bart alias Hamilton, was brought before She
Reading magistrates soon after his capture, nod
remanded for the purpose of communicating with
the Weymouth polio.. On Monday the prisoner wee
brought up before Aldermen Welsford and Bower,'
charged with stealing a large number of &Melee
named by the witnesses in their evidence.
. Charles Brooks, butler to Admiral Sir James Dena
Dundee, said he knew the prisoner as Edward
,Hamilton. He saw him about a quarter pest 6
°Week on Friday morning, and not finding hint:
afterwards, he made inquiries for him of the °that
servants, bet none of them had seen him. Abele!
20 minutes befere 8 o'clock, he sent to the railway
station, and finding some person answering the psi-
loner's dasaiption had taken a ticket for Londe*,
he communicated with the patide. He afterwards
searched about and found several articles of plate
miming. Ho knew the watch produced to belong to
Lady Emily, also a crystal box belonging to a drea-
ming case, and two went bottles. He also Junes,
the silver teapot, sliver cream jug end
basin, 23 dared forks, and 23 dean*
=nit' two dozen table spoons, two sauce sed,a.
huger ladle, eight silver teaspoons, a batter knife, re
pair of sugar tongs, four salt sposme,•lB silver table
forks, soup ladle, two gravy spoomi,wrid fish' knits
and fork, all of which were now peodneed. Sir
Dundee had two dispatch boxes on the first Ono,
diningroom, both of which were broken open. From
sine of them was taken a .610 Bank of Enghuid note.
three Ocountry notes, and three sovereigns. Wit&
nese also missed two gold rings, and three old gold
seals belonging to Sir James; a nickel, and a gold
ornament belonging to Miss Dundee; a dressing
gown belonging to Lady Dundee, which he could
also identify as the property of his marten The
two dispatch boxes produced had every appearsoce
of having been broken open. He saw them on Thurs.
day night, and they were not broken open then.—
Superintendent Lidbury said I was sent for on Fri-
day morning, about a quarter past nine o'clock, and
informed that Colonel Dundee's footman bad
ab-
loosded, and that a quantity of plate was miming
'from the house. I immediately went to the Tele-
graph offioe, and sent a meraage up the line. 1 that
went to No. 13, Belvidere, and got a list of the'
ertioles missing—amongst which were two di/mated
bones. After I had taken a list of the articles I
went up to the prisoner's bedroom, and there found
the two dispatch bores on the bed, covered by the
bedclothes. They had both been broken open. A
chopper, hammer, and oaytar-knife were also in the
bedroom. About 3 o'clock I received an answer to
my message, and on Saturday morning proceeded to
Reading with a warrant to bring the prisoner back.
Shortly after leaving Reading, prisoner asked if
Lady Dundee was ill-tempered at what he had done.
He said he had committed the robbery because be
was not well. Had he complained, be must have
been discharged, and be had no friends and no
home, and he thought by taking these things he
might, by diapering of a few at a time, bye-and-by
get himself round again, and obtain another sitar.
tion. He then admitted having taken the two dis-
patch boxes into his roam, breaking them open, and
taking out the notes, gold, and the other articles.
He added that he did not take any of Sir James's
orders or papers. He said he sialocked the back
door, end let himself out between four and five
o'clock, and went to the railway station. Having
unbosomed himself to witness, he asked whether he
would be transported?—Thomas Fitzroy Rice, in-
spector of the Reading police, said: On Friday last,
at noon, in codeequence of a telegraphic message
that was handed to me, I went to the South-Eastern
railway station, and, in the carriage of a train about
starting for London-bridge' I saw the prisoner, and
apprehended him. 1 entered the carriage. and said
to prisoner, "from a description which I have had, i
I shall arrest you an the charge of stealing a gold
watch and other property from Weymouth." He
replied, the carpet bag and other property which I !
have belongs to me. I than took him to the police
/Option, and took possession of his carpet bag. On 1
our way to the police station, prisoner said he 1
had robbed his master at Weymouth, Admiral Sir
Jetties Thindaskand that theproperty in the carpet bag
was the proceeds of that robbery. He also stated ha
bed been in very bad health for some time, and
he
that it was in consequence of

the Somersetshire Bank, and three sovereigns. The,
other property identified by Mr. Brooks, I found in,
the carpet bag. The carpet bag was locked, and
prisoner handed me a bunch of keys, one of which
opened the lock. In his carpet bag were 38 pawn
ticket. of property, pledged at London and
Bath.—The prisoner said in answer to the
charge, that he took the things in conse-
quence of being ill. FHB medicine coat 6s. a week,
and he had no more money, consequently he could
not remain with Sir James Dundee. He had Ins:
friends, and therefore he took the things, think-,
lig that if he did not get taken by the police, be,
.ftitild sell the things and live on the proceeds' till be
**told get another place, and if he did get takers •by
like police, which he expected, then he would be
doctored.—The magistrates committed him for
BLAICDFORD.—On bloodily, the 6th inst., the
yearly meeting of the Savings Bank was held.
Among those present were H. K. Ssymer, Esq.,
id.P.' and Messrs. H. Diodes, S. Groves, H. Gill, '
G. Leek, fro. The accounts showed that the number
of depositors was 2,073, end that the sum of
£81,722 18e. 7d. was due to them, which is an
increase on both items over the last year. Besides

A N/LAJALT FATAL 31/STAJLZ.—We are happy to
announce that the young people apprenticed to
Miss Alexander, who on New Year's day ate of a
plum-cake which nearly poisoned them, are now out
danger. They have been under the skilful treat-
ment of W. G. Raoot, Esq., surgeon, who has been
unremitting in his exertions, and to whom they are
indebted for the preservation of their lives. The
cake wu sent by a friend of Miss Alexander's MI a
New Year's present for her apprentices, and in
making it the servant used arsenic instead of soda,
which articles were, very foolishly, placed close to
each ether.

INDIMENDRIIT CHAPEL.—The Congregationalists
in this town, in common with their religious
brethren throughout the county, have been, during
the past week, holding special prayer meeting', and
on the very day (Wednesday), when earnest inter-
cession was btong made to Almighty God to evert
the threatened war between this country and
America, the joyful news arrived of a peaceful
answer to the demands of Greet Britain.
BTI7RMINSTER NEWTON.—Tuesday evening
will not be soon forgotten by our inhabitants, as
on that evening a thorough treat was given at the
Literary Institution by several of its members.
The entertainment consistedof several well-executed
readings, interspersed with glees, combined with
the assistance of the musical abibtits of two lady in-
habitants on the pianoforte and harmonium. This
is the first public evening of its kind, and we hope
from the nature of the same, and the respectable
audience in attendance, it will not be long ere we
have a repetition.
The audit of Right Hon. Lord Rivers was held
during the week at tile Crown Hotel, as also the
tradesmen's anneal supper, at both of which great
praise is due to the landlord and landlady for the
manner in which the suns was conducted. We
certainly think that at the last "the right people are
in the right plane," es far as it regards this now well-
oonducted_ inn.

PRIFERNISNT.—Tbn living, which is valued at
£902 per annum, with a population of about 1,900,
has been presented by Lord Rivers to the Rev.
Richard Cowndea, A., rector of Poole Keyes,
Wilts. The late vicar of Sturminster Newton,
the much lamented Rev. T. H. Lane Fox, held it
from 1839. Soon after his institution he built a
noble parish church, at a very considerable outlay,
entirely at his own ooet.
