LAYING our or THE cum YIELD.

The report of the General Purpoees Committee was
read as follows :

" In pursuance of the resolution passed at a meeting of
the Council, of which the present is an adjournment, your
committee base carefully considered your surveyor's plan
for the arrangement of the pens, etc.. in the new fair
60,1, with a view to the settlement of the details thereof
in • definite form for re-submission to the Council. and
they beg with this report to submit such plan as amended
for adoption by the instructions of the committee. The
surveyor visited the Southampton market on Friday last
and inspected the arrangements there. The description
of settling shed to be erected has also been discussed by
your committee, and they beg to submit for your
consideration the accompying plans, one of an octagon
building. Wt. clear in dismeter, with • 7fl. verandah,
and the other of an oblong building 3)1 t, by 20ft, clear,
with private offices for settling in each corner, which have
been proposed by the surveyor for selection, in accordance
with your committee's instructions. Your committee
also beg to submit for adoption the accompanying plan
for an auction ring, loft. in diameter with • roof over.
Your committee also recommend the tieing rails for
cattle be set out at a distance of 101 1. apart In accord-
ance with • resolution of the Council acting as the
sanitary authority, at • meeting of which the prompt is
an adjournment, your committee have taken into con-
sideration the else and weight of pipe to be used in
making junctions with the borough main; and so far se
awes in which lead pipes are used are concerned they
recommend for adoption the following inch, 41b. to
the yard ; inch pipe, 61b. to the yard; and 1 inch pipe,
Mb. to the yard."
A discumion ensued as to which woukl be the beet
plan to adopt, the octagon or the oblong and
Mr. Ilumserr moved that the plan showing the
octagon building 24f1. clear in diameter with a 71t.
verandah, seUling sheds, and a 30ft auction ring be
adopted.
The &amok wee in favour of this kind of build-
r. DEVINDIH aaid he would rather have an oblong
building.
Mr. GILIGOST said the oblong was the more con-
venient, but the octagon would appear better, and
would not coat moss.

--Mr. ri;VINIMH would rather sacrifice appearance and
coat, than convenience.
Mr. SLAM said it would cost double to erect an
octagon building—there was nothing square in it.
(Laughter.)
It seemed to Mr. DIMINISH that the octagon build-
ing was the most expensive and least convenient.
Mr. T. Burp Err seconded Mr. Bounerr's pro-
Mr. Buns proposed as an amendment, that the
plan showing the oblong building be adopted.
This was seconded by Mr. Drviaosa, and voted for
by the proposer and seconder end Mr. F. Bunnerr,
the rest voting for the original proposition which
was declared carried.

THE NORTHICAZ WALL.
Mr. GILSOORT was very glad to find that they
appeared to be in a fair way of going on now, and am
there had been much talk and some objection to the
northern wall, suggested that a couple of feet should be
taken off, and a coping put along the top so am to
improve its appearance. It would not oust much
labour to do that.
The M•rou said it had been settled to have sheds on
the northern side for implements. He did not think
they were in a position to entertain Mr. Gregory's
suggestion, as it would interfere with the erection of
the sheds Inc the implements.
Alerman Lees said the Surveyor would require
definite instructions from them before preLarinif
as his
plans to whether he waa to provide for taccom-
modation of 5,000 sheep or a smaller number.
Mr. Gasooar thought the proper COO2lllO would be
to approve of the plans se produced by the Surveyor
and proposed a revolution to this effect, and was &A

Mr. Boaserr, who had submitted a previous
proposition, to the wording of which objec was
taken, was very desirous that the work should be
proceeded with at once. He proposed "that the
ground plans, and the plans of the settling sheds, and
the auction ring having been adopted, specifications
be at ono. prepared by the Surveyor for the laying
out of the ground, the erection of pens, and the oom-
,pletion of the settling sheds and the suction ring."
Mr. Deviines would like to know how they would

cations for laying out the whole of the

THE NAVAL COLLEGE
On Friday event= last, the Naval College Sites Com
mitt= arrived in Weymouth. It was rather =favourable
weather, sad fortunately Mr. F. C. Bthurall, who for se
many years has been Town Clerk of Weymouth and Mel-
°omit, Rime, and waited on them by appointment, was
able to arrange that they should visit the sites around
Weymouth on Monday morning, the committee proceed-
ing on Saturday to Poole. That day was a wretched one,
and the friends of Weymouth congratulated themselves
that the inspection WY defered as first impressions have
such influence. When Monday broke fine, they had still
more reason for congratulation, as the sites would on such
• beautiful day show to the best advantage. On Monday,
at 11 o'clock, Mr. Stegall, the Mayor (Kr. Webdord) and
Mr. O. R. Crickmay, the committee appointed by the
Corporative, waited on the Admiralty committee, who
consisted of Admiral Wellesley. chairman, Captain
Curate, R.N., Captain Gordon, R.N., Dr. Sutherland. and
Captain Grandidier, secretary. The party were also
joined by Mr. G. IE. Eliot and Mr. J. H. Devenish,
and from the Burdon Hotel they proceeded in
a carriage first to Bincleaves. This. it is well
known, overlooks Portland Roads, on which side Is a
fine bold cliff, from which the pasture and garden land
slopes gradually towards Weymouth, (old side); it is
separated from the fortified promontory of the Nothe,
by the pretty Indentation of Newton Cove, and from
the top are views all over the Roads, where often lies the
Fleet, and always one or two more of HAL Ships. The
' Breakwater, the Verne Citadel, the curious peninsula of
Portland, with the Chesil
all within view and 'my range, and even in winter the lads
may have practical sight of seafaring and along shore
work, that may set them examples of brave deeds. The
beautiful bay of Weymouth, lies just beyond the Harbour
and Town, and within view Is the "North Shore,'
nearly half of the coast of Dorset, with chalk cliffs, green
combs, and pretty little coves. Bincleaves is so near to
Weymouth that it is =ally supplied with the matchless
water from the Sutton hills opposite, • supply brought,
years ago, into the town.
From Bincleaves they went along Rodwell road to the
railway arch, and then, on foot, they mounted the am•
bankment, and surveyed the fine vale to the left of BWIIIIOII
Lane, more popularly named from the famous Buxton
family, of whom Sir Thomas Fowell Bitxton WU so gloat
an ornament. "The hack of Buxton a," as it is called
lovingly in Weymouth, looked beautiful even to those
most in favour of another place, and it was moat favour-
ably considered. This valley is protected from north,
east, and west winds in
_great pert, it is near the en,
which is easily reached It Bathers' Cove, elm= under
Old Castle, and the nearness to Rodwell station may also
be a convenience, while not ter off is aceem both to the
Fleet grate:Tor boating from the Ferry-bridge, and to the
open West Bay beyond. Of course water would be
supplied from the Weymouth Waterworks. Next they
visited Goribinds, Mr. Bailey's residence, and saw the
land bed sag to Colonel Swafileld on the other side. A
very eligible little 10-acre piece at Wyke Knap was also
visited: but it was too small, for the Site Committee
require at least 40 or 50 acres of land.
The best chance of all was reached when the Weymouth
committee were able to show the naval gentlemen the
Park Mead Estate, • fine sweep of ninety scree leading to
the Fleet water. As it is well understood that the
authorities require • site near to a quiet, safe, river or
channel, where the lads can have any amount of boating
without being too far from the shore, this advantage of
the Fleet water is • most valuable one. A.000(11111gly we
learn that the members of the Site Committee, as far as
they deemed right to express themsolves, were par-
ticularly favourable to Park Mead It is thought that the
ultimate decision will greatly depend upon the report of
the medical authorities, and accordingly the Mayor and
Town Clerk wets ready with an analysis of the Weymouth
water, as fellows:—' The The water contains 12 depress of
Wedmore, and de grains of solids per gallon; it does not
show the existence of ammonia, nitrites, or nitrates:
chlorides of lime and =ague= are be far the most
prominent" Of course the purity and excellence of the
Sutton =ring water have long been known' but Wey-
mouthians should never fail to call attention to the
absence of ammonia, showing a degree of purity from
organic taint seldom certified. The height of the Sutton
spring is such that quite an astonishing large quantity
can be supplied per hour to Park Mead, er whatever site
may be 'elected. In fact we may say that the knowledge
that so large • supply of pure water can be obtained, has
very materially turned the scale in favour of the Wey.
tneuth district, as in other pieces favoured by some the
water is fax inferior. Altogether there are very consider-
able hopes that the committee may report in favour of one
of the Weymouth sites.
We cannot conclude without remarking that the thanks
of Weymouthians are due to the local committee, who,
with so much industry, perseverance, ansi tact did all
they could to prove the advantages of the district.

BAPTIST MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
A m.eUn of the Weymouth friends of this society was
held on Wednesday evening last, at the Bank buildings
chapel, under tte presidency of the Rev. J. Bailey,
Pastor, summr.v.bir the Rev. E. Bolton, and the Rev. W.
Lewis, Hope
The Rev. J. ItAn= lint read the account of the local
contributions to the society. During the year 1875, the
frends contributed £49 IS.. lid., of which the Sunday
echool collected .Cl 4 Itis. 84.

The Wee. J. ALLEY gave some interesting details of life
In India. As to the Mohammedans, be said they felt they
represented the cause of defeat, and rage was nursed in
their souls, at seeing the offices of the Government pawing
away from them. They used not to send their children
to the Government schools, fearing that they would gat to
study English literature, then English religion, and by
and by become Christians or infidels. But the Hindoo,
having fewer scruples of conscience, sends his sons to the
Government schools, they often get on, and ultimately
become learned, and get into the Government offices, so
that the English rule in India is called the rule of the
" Baboo," or Hindoo gentleman, for the ilindooe, get into
all the subordinate posts, and stand between the ruling
power and the masses. So far has this gone on that old
Mohammedan familial have become decayed and poor, so
that they are unable sometimes even to repair the great
houses their forefather lived in, the roofs fell in, and they
had to remove to smaller houses. Still they persevered in
not sending their children to school, so that not only
Government posts but even trade situtations, dipped
away from them. Ultimately the Government gave way,
and established Mohammedan wheels, in which the Koran
was taught This he considered • false step of the Govern-
ment, which ought to have said, as it did to the Hindooe,
"We teach no religion, we offer you • secular education,
and you may accept it or not, as do the Hindoos."
Speaking of the Mohammedan's points of collision with
the,Cidan religion, he pointed out that, though their
apostle Mohammed, taught his diciples to read the
Christian Scriptures, yet the Mohammedans
an deny the
doctrine of the incarnation, d also say that Jesus Christ
was not put to death, but another man in his place, and
that be himself ascended to heaven. There is in the
Koran hardly any reference to the atonement yet they
sacrifice, using the same formula almost as the Hindoce—
" Its flesh for our fieeh, its bones for our bones, its blood
for our blood, it. life for our life," and then down comas
the knife, and cute the animal's head off. The Hindoos
acknowledge the possibility of an incarnation, and teach
that one of the gods did coins in the flesh. The Moham-
medans always offer their prayers in Arabic, and often
know the meaning of it, and when they acknowledge this,
the missionaries press home upon their hearts that this is
not prayer ; but that prayer is the expressed language of
the heart, going to God in that which Is nearest to the
heart, the mother tongue. Such illustrations as these go
home to the hearts of both Mohammedans and Hindoos ;
but if, as some men do, you go to them and say " Mohammed
was an imposter, he came with the Koren in one
hand and the sword in another; he had 14 wive*,
and his example has made monsters of lust
of you all "—then they get engem will not listen, and go
off in • rage. The M&ammedans in Bengal were Tay
different from than in Bulgaria; but were kindly and
gentlemanly. Once his waggon got into the mud in the
bottom of a river, and could not possibly get out, and
after he had sent to the neared village offering • reward,
14 Mussulmans came, took off their clothes, pulled the
waggon through the mud, washed themselves, put on
their clothes again, and then would not receive the offered
backshish. He wondered what English villagers would
have done like'that t (Applause.) Yet the Mussulmans
were not ready to embrace the Christian religion, for
although they were often put to silence, and even con-
vinced, they would not accept it, because to do so would
represent • double defeat Behind this is also the
increase of the Wahabee sect, who teach that Islam won
It. triumphs by the sword, that it has fallen or declined
because the sword has been sheathed, and that it mint be
re-established by the sword. They say also that tombs
must not be worshipped; but adoration be given to God
alone, and that they must strike down, not only the
infidel,; bu4the Mahommedans who worship tombs, or
saints, or even Mohammed himself. The Wahabee
conspiracy is spreading far and wide, and every Wahabee
farmer even has saved up and bought a musket, and
there are millions of smoothbore muskets in B
useful to send • bullet 100 yards in the first ntah.ints
Mohammedans think that Ragland, France, nr„, are
vassals of the Sultan of Stamboul, and that the Queen of
England holds India as vassal of the Sultan. They point
to the crime= war as • proof, and believe that the
Sultan called his vassals to help him against the Kees,
Yet there was no gratitude for that, for soon afterwards
there came the Indian Mutiny, heeded by Moham
m
because they considered that if Mohammedanssevad=
they could turn the English out of India. He therefore
urged that England should give up her old policy aa to
Mohammedans, which is even now endangering in India
the British rule. (Applause.)
The collection was then made.

The Rev. W7117,17;:id whatever policies Imitglicii
taken by governments, that upon which our work
was the spread of the gospel. Even the Mohammedans
were susceptible of being moved by the game!, and the
difficulties should stimulate us to increased prayer and
effort, to bring them under the power of Jesus our /Chu.
India will be held, and Mobanumedanlun will be subject
to English rule, if the iruMel spreads, and he urged the
audience still to send more money, and more men to carry
on the Saviour's work. Let us talks care to tell around us,
" God so loved the world, that He gave his only-begotten
Son that whosoever bellevetli on Him should not perish
but have everlasting life." He moved a vote of thanks to
Mr. Allen. _ _ •

.- -
—We—lie-v. E. rioting seconded the vote of
remarking that the addises had been most used=
complete, and congratulating the friends at Bank-buildinp
on their missionary seaL In conclusion be hoped for the
coming of that time when English policy shall not hinder
the spread of English Cluistianity. (Applause.)
The Rev. J. ALI2II urged the friends to strengthen
Christian missions, as an opponent of the Wahabee
conipiracy. and the Jehan, or Holy War, which the
Mohammedans fondly hope will take plsoe. If • number
of missionaries ready prepared to argue with the people,
and understanding them, were vent out, there would be
no need of the uprising of hundreds of thousands of
Wahabees with their smooth-bore rifles, and no need of
the sending out of twenty thousand Eagliahmen armed
with the latest improvements to sweet) thousands from
the earth. (Hear, hear.)
The collections on Sunday, and at the public meeting.
amounted to £9 12s.

JOHN'S CHURCH ALTERATION& —The contract
for the alterations at Bt. John's Church was signed on
the 18th by Mr. J. J. Patten, and the work is to be
completed within four months.
BOISCAWIN 801L—Out of the 460 sailor boys who
went off on holiday only eight have failed to return.
This is considered a very small proportion of defaulter*,
and to rove the liking the boys have for the service

rails is being laid from the Breakwater Fort to the
pier head, at the opening; about half a mile has been
completed, and • new engine placed thereon ; an engine
house is also being built on the outer Breakwater

NAVAL APPOINTMENTS. —Commander G. R. Hope,
of H.H.S. Hoecawen, has been promoted to the rank
of poet captain, and, an on getting an appointment he
wOl probably leave the ship, it le rumoured that
Commander Patton, who was formerly here in the

and a public meeting on Monday night.
Hour mom Alums. --Several Portlanders who
had emigrated to America have lately returned.
They report that times are very bad in the United
States, sad it is whispered that some of them, especially
those who had not been out long, have far from
" bettered" themselves by their journey out, but
were glad to get back home almost how they could.
This quite agrees with the reports from Liverpool., the
vessels. to which port are stated to be crowded with
returning emigrants. Clearly, it is no time to go out
to America now, except for the capitalist, who may,
even in England, find that it is a 'pod time to buy.
ROTAS NAVAL ARTILLEZT Vounrruzze. The
Cherub gunboat came into the Roads on Monday,
having on board the Royal Navy Artillery Volun-
teers, who were out for • cruise, and some of them
went over the island and visited Weymouth. The
8..N.A.V. are quite unique among the volunteer.;
they were raised in the Thames by an ooer of the
Navy, and appear to be composed of respectable
clerks, and men with similar occupations, as well as
gentlemen. They are dressed as sailors, but their
badgee are white, they have " R.N.A.V. " on their
caps, and the Government grant them the um of the
gunboat. They are the only *arm of the kind afloat.
CRlCW.—Portland v. Slit Begismest.—On Saturday
last the return match between elevens of the above
was played at the Cadet's ground, and turned out a
rather exciting one. Portland in the first innings made
40 runs, and the 31st followed with 41 ; the soldiers in
their second innings scored 39, and as time was going
on, there was a chance of Portland losing by the first
innings. They set to work heartily, however, and
to put together 44, futishing their innings
just before

OF PORTLA.WD.—Two additional
forts are, it is said, provided for by the taker,
estimates for next year. One is to be built on the
West of the island, and will be on what is called
Killick's Head, taking in part of Pluckman's Close,
thus being an outwork of the great Citadel, and defend-
ing the Wed Weirs. The other is to be built on the
Chesil Beach itself, close to the shooting Range, and
will command great part of the West Bay, and
prevent landing anywhere about there, so that it will,
so fag, do away with the chance of the Nothe Fort at
Weymouth b4ng threatened in the rear; the fort will
also command the mos. from the mainland to
Portland.
