disadvantage of having the Militia in their billets.
From the manner in which they bad gone through

In every respect, the inspecting officer expressed the
pleasure it had afforded him of seeing the soldier'
like and steady manner in which the battery had
gone through their evolutions in such a confined
space. Having seen them exercise in a more open
ground he did not consider it necessary that they
should go there again, for if they could drill so

could do so anywhere. He complimented Major
Paget upon the clean appearance of the soldiers,
horses, and guns, and expressed the gratification
and pleasure it afforded him of bearing that the
conduct of the soldiers in the town was such as to
give satisfaction to its inhabitants.

of the COODCAI WY held at the Council Chamber
on Wednesday, the Mayor presiding. The minutes
of the taut meeting having been read and oonfirmed,
his Worship stated that on Tuesday the Boot-lane
Committee met the Turnpike Commissioners with
reference to the proposed road from Boot-lane to
the Quay. Some years ago the Trustees obtained
the consent of the Council for making the road, and
they were now serious to complete it in accordance
with the views of the Council. They Mayor further
stated that now was the time for the Council, if
they wished to make any suggestion or alterations
to do so. —Mr. H. Thomas said be *idled to call
the attention of the Council to the state of the wall
at the foot of the road, which he considered would
be forced into the harbour if there was much traffic
on it. He wished to be informed, in the event of
that happening, who would be at the expense of
repairing it. —The Mayor replied that he behaved

Jar. Scuff relative to the claim upon the Council for

that gentleman respecting the matter, bet being of
a private character we Mee refrained from publishing
it. —After an =important discussion, • resolution
was carried, proper by Mr. R. Thomas
seconded by Mr. Upjohn, asking Mr.
Bluff to visit Weymouth as son as
passible, for the purpose of arranging matters con-
mated with the Weymouth and Portland Railway
selegl and Town Council. - -Mr. R. Thomas
e ed that the railway authorities had taken
peseemion of a foot-path leading from the Marsh to the
eitickerell•road, which had been entirely cloaed up.
He mid that the rights of the public, in this manner,
got frittered away by degrees until they had nothing
left.— The Town Clerk said he understood it was
the intention of the railway authorities to provide
another foot-path Mr. R. Thomas asked
whether any account had been kept of the
quantity of gravel taken by the railway contractors
from the Backwater, which he had seen used for
ballasting the tramway. There MOO a resolution
pared by which they were to my 6d. a ton for it,
and they could not plead ignorance. The Harbour.
master had an account of the quantity supplied by ,
the Corporation lighters for the contractor.; but be'
(Mr. Thomas) wished to know the quantity Lahr
by the contractors themselves—the Harbor-
master was called in and questioned on the Matter,
when be stated that 'be had not kept an account, as
Mr. Stannard had told him that he had a right to
take the gravel without paying for it. —A resolu-
tion was pared, calling on the railway =other:Ars
to pay for the gravel taken from the Backwater,
red for the purpose of ballasting the railway.—
Mr. W. Thomas asked the Town Clerk for in-
formation respecting the Market-house action, and
whether any steps had been taken in the matter.—
The Clerk replied that Dolling had been
done respecting the suit. •This was easily
accounted for, as the leading mussel had had all
his time engaged in the Alexandra °sea—Mr. R.
Thomas remarked that that case would last as
long as the present Ministry; bet the Clerk informed
him that the case was settled, the ship having been
given up.—This concluded the business of the
C=ocil, and that connected with the Board of
Health was then tranracted.—A very protracted but
desultory discussion ensued respecting chains for
the Esplanade, Mr. Hare suggesting that instead of
the present stone posts and proposed new chains,
that ornamental iron pillars and rode should be
substituted. —Mr. Ayling expressed himself strongly
in favour of Mr. Hare's views, remarking that the
proposed improvement would be a great ornament
to the town, and stating that a similar method was
always adopted by Government in parks and
other places. fie stated that betted been talking to
a pencil competent to judge on the subject, who
said the improvement could be effected for £2OO.
Several members, however, appeared to be in
favour of having galvanised chains ; when Mr.
Ayliug mid if the Council thought chains would be
more economical than iron pillars and rods, he would
withdraw his suggestion.—Mr. Hare considered that
tender* should be invited for botb,and they oould then
re what difference there would be in the expense.
—The matter was adjourned. —The question as to
the expediency of borrowing money for effecting
improvements in various ports of the town was the
next suhiret brought forward, the Mayor remarking
that the Board had gone to great expense in repay.
lag various parts of the town, and, although many
persons might be quite ready to pay their pro.
portion of the expense at once, it bad been
considered advisable to borrow money, and let the
debt run over for a certain nomber of years, Ming
the interest thereon, and at the same time liquidating
the debt, instead of making • rate hi one year so&
cient ti meet the expense, lie believed it was the
general wish of the inhabitants that the town should
be put in order, and that the rats should not be
heavier one year than another. The cost for the
improvements was upwards of £l,4oo—No opposi-
tion having beco made to the suggestion, Mr. Hare
proposed a resolution to the effect that application
be made to the proper authorities for permialou to
borrow £1,500, such money to he repaid by anneal
instalments, extending over • period of 10 years.
Mr. Ayling seconded the proposition, and it was
otrried.—This concluded the business of the meeting.

the balance of about f4OO. Many of the bankrupt's
debts have been standing for a long period. The
books of account delivered to the official assignee by
the bankrupt are one ledger, three bankers pass
books, and one parcel of papers. The bankrupt
was adjudicated lor the registrar at Taunton, on the
11th of March, 1864. —The bankrupt WAS examined,
and in answer to Mr. Flood said: I bare lodged with
Mr. Lintall for several years. I was served with a
writ before the eseention was put in.—Mr. Lintall
bought a great deal of the stock. He did not buy
one-half of it. Mr. fantail paid the sheriff's officer

SHAFTESBUItY.—Tes BOROUGH MAGISTI•Tte.—
The Queen v. BrickelL—ln this ems Mr. Cola applied
to show muse against • rule obtained by Mr. Saunders
for • certiorari to bring op • conviction in order that it
might benumbed. The defendant it appeared had been
summoned before the magistrates fur the borough of
Shaftesbury for an emelt upon a constable in the exe-
cution of his duty. The justices dismissed the sum-
mons for assaulting the wearable in the execution
of his duty, but convicted him of •
common assault, and fined him sa. The learned
counsel contended that the conviction was perfectly
good, and the only error that it could be contended the
jumices had committed use in ioforming the parties
upon what ground they oonvicted.—Mr. Saunders con-
tended that the summons was one under the Municipal
Corporation Act, and that under that Act the justices
meld not convict of a common assault. Beyond that
be contended there was • much stronger argument
against the conviction. If the defendant had been
convicted of an assault upon • police-eonstsble in the
esecution of his duty the fine would have been con-
siderably less than it would be in a conviction for a
common amault,and in default of payment in the former
case the practice was to diorain upon his property, and
thee is default be was liable to imprisonment, whereas
default in the latter case was dealt with by imprison-
ment immediately. The Court made the rule absolute.
—Mr. George Chitty for the certiorari, and Mr. C. B.
Beeklatid opposed it on behalf of the Outdoes.

alter a short time. Whilst he (the constable) was
speaking to another person outside, the defendant came
up to him and knocked him down. He attempted to
take him, but mold not in consequenos of. large crowd

the defendant. —The complainant stated that, about
half•past ten o'clock, as he was going down the village
leading a horse, the defendant came and insultingly
called out " caw." He asked bim what he meant, and
put up his hand, when defenalant struck him two or
three times. Complainant then let go the horse and
followed him, and when near his house he struck him
again. The policeman came by soon after and he told
him ofit—lir. Chitty, after erossuiamining the nom-
plainest as to the injury be received, submitted that
it was • most trumpery case. The defendant merely
called out "saw," • nickname used in the village, when
he was seised by the collar by the oconiplainant.
That was the whole offence ; for it was very unlikely
that • young lad, so much inferior in strength to the
complainant, would have struck ham—After a con-
sultation, the chairman said that for some time peat
the conduct of the youths residing there had been
very annoying to the inhabitants, and it wee necessary
to put • stop to it. The Bench were of opinion that the
charge was fully proved, and filled hint 10a. and cuts,
or in default 14 days' impriaonment. At the same
time they cautioned him that if he or others were
brought before them on • similar charge, • mush
heavier fine would be inflicted.

Bench said thatvery teluctlently in this case,they were
obliged to commit him to Dorchester gaol for 14 days

THORISDAT.—Sir 0. Chet in reply to • question
, from Mr. Whalley, said that the parks of tendon could
not be employed fur the purpee of holding public
ianstings, at which topics calculated to create • conflict
of opinions might be discussed, without interfertng
with those special objects of general convenience and
suiusemeet for which they were set apart. The
resolution adopted by the House on the 12th of Apnl,
with respect to the forin in which the reports of the
educatiolud irtsm Mere bad been presented to Pulia-
moot, hating been rend by the clerk at the table, Sir
G. Grey that he could not help thinking that the
House had acted upon • inisappreheneion in coining to
it. vote of the 12th of Aoril. Ti. right honorable
gentleman, the late Vice-President of the Connell of
E lucation, had offered explanations upon that subject,
which showed that he had only dieeharged the legiti-
mate ditties of I3is office, and it appeared to be the
uusnimous belief of the House that no reflection rented
on the tight honourebls gentleman's persousl honour,
and it was the earnest and the very natural desire
of the noble tart at the head of the Council, and of
the officers of his depsrement, that their conduct
should undergo the most therms:2h investigation;
aid under these circumstances he (Sir 0. Grey) bad to
move that " • select committee be appointed to inquire
into the pmetlce of the Committee of Cones:di of
Education with reject to the report. of Her Illnlestrs
inspectors of schools." The right hon. baronet the
member from Droitwich hid given notice of an addition
to that motion, which would extend the inquiries of the
proposed ootninsttee to the whole constitution of the
Council of Education. But if it was desirable to adopt
a proposal of that description it ass manifest that it
would deserve to be made the subject of • special
inquiry. The motion of which he had given notice
related to a specific question, and he hoped that this
Ileums weeild not coninwit to allow its consideration to
be swamped and oterisid by the discussion of • very
different and • mach wider topic Sir J. Pakington
said he had no wiah to embarrass or impede the inquiry
proposed by the right bon, bwrowet, and he would
readily consent that if the commfttee should be
appointed, they should, in the Ara instance, investi-
gate and report upon the special matter to Which notice
was directed. But he believed that their labour, might
afterwards be extended with great advantage. After
some discussion the Howe divided, and the original
motion was carried by 142 votes to 93. The House soon
after went into supply.
FilDsT.—Nr. It. Long inquired whether the Minister
for Foreign Affairs would continue to preside at the
Conference notwithstanding the exactions and opprea-
BiOns alleged to have beets perpetrated in Jutland by
the order of Marshal Wrangel. Sir G. Grey replied
that such exactions ocnatitnted as additional reason
for eluting to put an cud to the war in Denmark ,•
that therefore Earl Ihtieell had not seamed to attend
the Conference; and he weight home weed unwisely
had he done no, instead of endeavouring, and that
✓uccessfully, in concert with other Powete, to obtain •
suspension of arms, one of the conditions of which ems
that the Austrian and Prussian troops were not to levy
contributions, but were to pay for everything that was
fernielied them. Mr. Lows asked the indulgence of
the House whilst be offered a short personal explanation
relative to a school inspestor's report, which was pro-
duped on the previous evening by Lord K. Cecil,
of which be (Mr. Lowe) had no knowledge, and ,
would not give a satisfactory amount said he had
scuttled the records of the Privy Council Office. Upon
that documeut this statement was founded by the noble
lord that, although what he (Mr. Low.) had said on •
former occasion was true in nitant, it was absolutely
false is fact. The right hon. gentlemen then explained
that there were two kinds of reports, one of which, to
be subinitted to Parliament, related to the scherzi state
of the inspector's district; and it was to there reports
that the Minutu of the Council of 1861, the resolution
of the House of the 13th April last, and the explanation
he bad made to the House, applied, and with reference
to which a select committee had been appointed. The
second kind of report. might be called special or par-
ticular ; they were the reporta of the inspector of each
school he had inspected. These were not intended to
be laid before Parliament. Mr. Lowe protested warmly
whist the practice which had lately grown
up of honorary members allowing themselves
to be made the instruments for putting off such
contraband wares upon the House. Lord K.
Cecil remarked that, ise • select committee had
been appointed, he thought it would have been
better if the right hon. gentleman attended there and
made the explanation he bad jut given, end where his
statement could be placed against that of Mr. Morel'.
I On the motion that the House at its rising should
. adjourn until Thursday next, Mr. T. Baring directed
attention to the fact that an armed steamer was now in
. the port of Liverpool, which, having being originally
3 manned and equipped from British porta, had preyed
upon the commerce of a friendly nation, and had never
been in any port of the belligerent under whose flag she
sailed; and asked if the admission of such vessels to
British harbours was consistent with our international
obligatinas, our professions of neutrality, and the pre-
, :creation of British interests. The Attorney G I
3 said, whether successfully or otherwise, her Majesty's
I Government had endeavoured to the best of their power
; at once to vindicate the laws of the eountry, and fulfil
• our obligations of a inuoere and imputed neutrality. A
long dim-union ensued. The motion for the adjourn-
' mint to Thursday nest vas then agreed to, end thertly
3 after the House was counted out.
