-I:nt safeguard it.oinst cholera panic. Hitd the roc. sit
twelve cows, with four deaths, at Epping, happened a
,nootti ago, the result might have been disastrous. It
would probably have been another illustration of the
plague killing a few pare ins and leaving fear to kill the
re-t. But it is against all oui experience that we should
really have • cholera epidemic so late in the year, and
, the change to what is certainly more seasonable weather
I will do much to allay apprehension.

Mr. Daniel Masson bar snooseded in obtaining the
chair of Rhetoric and English Literature in E linhursh
Univenrlty, vacant by the death of Professor Aytoun.
This a Government blow at the Times. for it Was under-
stood that the chancel lay between Mr. MUSOII and Mr.
Dallis, and the latoer wits one of the principal Times
writers. The choice, however, of Professor Magian will
give general satisfaction to the public. From the age
of 19, when be was editor of a Scotch newspaper, to the
! present time, he has been actively employed in literary
labour and research. Re has written for Fraser, for
Chambers, for several of the London p spars and reviews;
And hi, republished papers front the North British
Review and the British Quarterty are some of the most
valuable contributions to our current literature. There
U very likely a good deal of esprit &pays in the choice
of Professor Mourn, but although a Sootchman, his
long mildew:* here, his professorship at the London
University, and his broad social views, preclude his
being regarded as what Boswell called a clannish man.

AMENITIES Or CHAAMOUTII.

"Charmouth has been oelehrated as a watering-plane
for signet number of years, aid is much frequented by
visitors. As • watering-place, it possesses peculiar ad-
vent 'gee, in oonsequence of the purity of the sea water,
which was analysed by the I .te Sir Geirge Baker, dung
a residence in Lyine, arid he mentions that Its specific
gravity same led that of the .me quantity to be found
on any other pert of Vie coast; consequently, it contaitis
a greater number of saline particles in a given measure
than any other. Also the climate is generally mild,
fnehaias and myrtle' grow out of doors all the year
round, the air is remarkably pure, particularly suited
to invalids who requires mild and inoderatAy-bra dug
climate. In proof of the salubrity of the air, ant the
general healthiness of Charmouth, it may be mentioned
that the late Lord Herbert of Lea, selected this place
For the establishment of a Convalescent Home, which
has been of untold benefit to many. Besides these ad.
vantages, so beneficial to invalids, it possessei many
attractions, interesting alike to the inealid and healthy.
The wallui around Charinouth, in every direction,
extremely beautiful and roin•ntic ; the views are in sit
parts fine ; and the sea and inland prospeote from the
surrounding heights are eery attendee and commanding.
The walk to the beach can be taken either through the
lower sealane, or the Ii gher sea-lane and fields ; from
the beach the walk may be continued to the eastern or
western cliffs, the views from whioh, both sea and land,
especially from the eastern, called "Cain's Folly," are
most extensive.
On the western cliffs is the great gun teittery, together
with other buildings, tee., belonging to the coiskiguard
station, near to which are the steam cement mita of
Masers. Moroom and Son, and on the beach beneath are
plastid the bathing machines.
The Charmouth beach and oliffs will be found very

dociev euiamoind the stewards of that olub for illegally
expelling him flout the same.—Mr. Atkinson appeared
f..r the complainant, and Mr. Cnitty on behalf of the
club. —Complainant eteted that he had been a member
of the dub more thee 20 years. At the Lust m-eting
of the club he tendered his money and was told by the
stewards pre-eat that they should not take it, as he was
expelled. They gave so reason for it.—By Mr. Chitty:
LI i not receive any noice that he would be expelled for
obtaining money from the club when aide to work.
When he went to the club meeting he WAS told by
Thomas James chit he was turned out because he
obtained money under falos pretences. They paid him
4s. Id., that wax for four days at Is. 21. per day.—Mr.
Atkinson hero explained that ideintiffe deugiter, who
wrote out the notice declaring off the box, made •
anietako in the date ; he also contended that before the
stewards could expel a member they inust call a cow-
mitts° and have the charge properly ieveetigated,—
Pleintiff, in answer to a qoestiou by Mr. Atkinson,
statal that when he went to receive his money' be did
not say 4s. Bd. was due.--The clerk to the club was then
examined: He st ited that the ease of the plaintiff wan
taken into oonsideration at a nicotine of the olub. Tiff)
money due to plaintiff was paid up to the 4th August.
Haring declared off he was not entitled to the third day.
—By Mr. Atkinson : Our meeting was on the last
, Monday in August. On that evening plaintiff was told
, by the stewards that no more money would be received
, from him. On the 3rd August they found he had
taken too much.—The notice tont to the dub he
believed was written by plaintiffs daughter. When
plaintiff offered his contributionehe was told, "We shall
not take any more money from yoo."—Mr. Atkinson said
that it wan a most illegal and unjuatifiehle course to
pursue to expel a man from • club without giving him
proper notice that such would be the ease. Without
giving his client any opportunity to make explanations
he was thus expelled. —His Lordship, as chairman, par-
ticularly inquired of plaintiff when he went on the box:
Plaintiff: • 'On a Thursday." "flow long were you on?"
"Three days, for which I received 3e. M."— The Clerk
here stated that he only paid plaintiff for three days.—
Frank Coward said that he saw the plaintiff drunk in a
public house on the 3rd August. He was then able to
work, and threw his arm about.—Plaintiff stated that
he bad hurt his arm and on the cley in question the
doctor advised him to take it out of the sling, and use
it • little.—Mr. Wm. James, one of the trustees of the
society said be attended the club meeting, when, as the
stewards had been credibly informed, the ploitif was
able to work, on one of the days he received club pay
he was expelled but he iid not see him at work on that
day.—The Chairman said that the Bench were all of
one respecting this case. A more painful one in oonneo- '
tion with Benefit Societies he had never heard. Here
was a poor unfortunate man, tem had enterribei to the
funds of the society for twenty years, expelled for no
other cause than because • mistake was made in • date;
no opportunity was riven him to d. fend hires If or enter
Into explanation. They considered that the defeniints
had been most unfairly and unjustly turned out of this
society, and their decision is that be be
reeindated to all its benefits and privileges. With
regard to costs, each party must pay hie own. The
decision of the Bench was received with much satis-
faction by the greater part of those present.
