ORDNANCE SURVEY OF DORCHISTER.--SOMe weeks
since, the Dorset County Express, in a leading
article, recommended the County Magistrates to
decide upon some step, at their meeting at the
Court of Quarter Sessions, for memorialising the
Home Secretary to continue the Ordnance survey,
began at Weymouth, till the whole of the County of
Dorset had been surveyed. It will be recollected
that oa the occasion referred to, Mr. Farrar brought
forward the subject, and that Lord Portman pro-
rallied to communicate with the Earl of Shaftesbury,
and that if the Lord Lieutenant of the county
were agreeable, they would forward a joint
memorial to the authorities. We belief we
are correct in announcing that the Secretary of
State has now acknowledged the reoeipt of the
memorial. After communicating with Sir W.
James, the chief of the Ordnanoe Department, at
Southampton, be has premised that if funds will
permit, the survey of the Western Counties shall
be commenced in the spring. The inhabitants may
therefore look forward with confidence of being
able, at no very distant period, when they shall be
able to possess themselves of a correct map, of every
enclosure, such as has not heretofore been published.
