NOTES OF THE WEEK.

The Educations! Returns RhOW a very large and
rapid-increase. In 1867-8 the Parliamentary vote was
only L'670,429; from that it has gone by leaps anal
bounds to £1,988,5t1 in 1875-6—tripled, that is, in 10
years. The sum *pent in teaching elementary draw-
ing his gone up from £3,501 to £19.909, and the
number of children taught this in the primary schools
has risen from SO 054 to 387,610 in ten years. The
number of crirninals has not diminished as the number
of scholars has increased •' in fact there were 150,581
criminsls committed in 1875 as against 113,775 in
I 1866; but the gist of their maintenance has materially
I diminished, a fact which seems to point to less serious
crimes, demanding less lengthened term of impri on-
ment The number of children in reformatories has
increased very considerably, and those in industrial
schools have augmented nearly sevenfoliL The num-
ber of emigrants has fallen off materially. In 1873
there were 310,612 emigrants, in 1575 only 173,909.
IBy a proclamation in the I,mion On:ette of Friday
night, Parliament is formally prorogued until the 191 h
of December.

The memorial to the Queen against the Confessional
has, according to the Bo,lc, been signed by more than
150,000 persona.

The strike in the Bolton cotton trale was definitely
settled on Friday afternoon. A deputation from the
operatives' association had an interiiew with the
Masters' Committee, and afterwards adopted a resolu-
tion "instructing the men to resume work on 31 owls,
morning next" The strike ha lasted eiht weeks, and
has, it is stated, entailed a I as on the operatiiev alone
of £lOO,OOO.

BOURNEXOI7TH.

THE touting for custom by certain tradesmen at cer-
tain fashionable water-places has become a is.sitive !
nusiance. Here is a C 0.413 in point. The other day
Lord Henry Scott, n. r., for S.olth llantor, took a house
at Bournemouth for the winter. The money-making
fraternity of that winter resort were instantly on the
qui vu-c. The xi.r.'m servants were to arrive on
Monday, and there was intense excitement to get first
bite at the cherry. Consequently the train which c..n-
veyed the domestics was hearted at itingwo.sl (twelve
miles from Bournemouth) by one gang. I free traders,
at Christ Church (five miles off) a mecoml detachment
was in waiting, while the platform of the Bourne-
mouth station was covered with the main body of the
attacking troops. As yet two masters of offence,
more enterprising even than these, had driven all the
way from Bournemouth ti Beaulieu lv, &rya pm.
,i,,todg to solicit the coming nolihrman's patronage.
This is what makes a change of quarters at this time
of year at pleasant—to the servants.— Vairifp Fuir.

THE RECENT CLERICAL DISPUTES AT

Mr. Editor,—Allow ms to say that the Portlanders
may feel quite sure of the legitimacy of their children,
though they might be married in either of the
churches, when they belonged to the other parish.
The marriage register is all that is required to prove a
marriage, and, if married in their right nanies, the
question whether the party toed fide belonged to the
parish is never *eked by lawyers. If of age, or
1 widower or widow, if under age, even if married with
I a vrrong name by banns, the marriage is not void, but
only voidable, and, if not objected to, holds good, The
i Law s in no haste to net aside an actual marriage, on
any frivolous pretext. Though the Portlanders s ould
now be married in the respective parish churches, yet
It would be less irregular if they were married in Mr.
Seamen Church when they belonged to Mr. Ottley's
district parish, than nee rend because Mr. Beazor's is
the old Mother Church, and used to have all the
marriages.
You, faithfully,

SATURDAY'S MARKETS.

COlO,.

ATLF.S. FIURY.—About-an— Sverage attendance at the
Corn Exchange, and a good supply of wheat on the
stands, the trade for which was not is good, being Is
lower than that quoted Iwt week. The trade in barley
was firm; but in oats, beans, and peas no alteration.
Wheat, 1:10 to 4.16 10* per load; barley. 39a to 454 per
quarter.
CAMBRIDGE.—Wheat was a dull trade for anything
but very dull samples, which sold at late rates.
CANTERBURY.—There was a short supply of wheat
at the market, awl factors were enalded to get Is more
money for white descriptions. Barleys were again firmly
held.
CORK—White wheat, 33i; cwt., Ils 3d to 12a ; red
ditto, 745 cwt., Hi to lls ; barley, -MS cwt, hi to Ss led;
black oats, 1,674 cwt., rei to 7i; tawny ditto, ISO cwt.,
7s 5d to 8. ? white ditto, 2lk cwt., 7, Bdtitfu.
DORCHESTER —There was a sniall attendance at the
Corn Exchange in consequence of the October fair having I
fallen on Thursday. Supply of wheat hunted. The best
samples sold freely at late rates, from 55s to tes per I
Imperial quarter; inferior qualities hung on hand. Barley
also sold at late Prices. from ssi to SO,
GLAJITCF-STEEL —The market was fairly well attended,
but millers and dealers were offering farmers less money
for wheat, which had to be submitted to in order to effect
sales
NORWICII.—There was only a moderate suPPIY of
wheat at this market. Trade prevented little change, but
towards the dose of the market a reduction of Is per qr.
was submitted to in some instances. The supply of barley
was not quite so liberal; growers asked more money and
this checked business; malting qualities were, however,
taken off on the full tenus of last week. Soft conditioned
samples were difficult to dispose of. In other articles not
much doing.
OXFORD.—A large attendance with • brisk trade.
Wheat sold well, and the barley trade was firm, malting
parcels being in good demand.
READlN(.l.—Holders remaining for • time, were
obliged to give way, and prices became easier than last
week ; even then business was done to • limited scale
only.
CATTLE

NORWICH.—The weather was wet here today. The
supply of store cattle was considerable, and trade ruled
rather dull, so that a clearance wee far from being made,
although no material change was noted in prices. Short
horse brought £lO to .LZ and Irish. LT to £T2 per heed.
The supply of sheep was moderate, but the pens were not-
withstanding not fully cleared. Prices experienced little
change. Fat beef made 04 6d to 10. and 10s 6d per 14Ibe. :
fat mutton made 10.6 d to lie 6d per 141 b. A few cases of
foot-and-mouth disease are stall reported in Norfolk, but
the disease appears to be practically extinct in the county.

METROPOLITAN MEAT MARKET,

in excess of the demand, and prices throughout were
heavy :—Deet 21 4d to 5s 2d ; mutton 2s 4d to 5s 2d veal,

SWAN/Lel.

Halves!' THANIMIIVING Stavin% were held in tho
Congregational Church on Sunday, October !Ist. In
spite of the inclement weather there were large
congregations. The interior had been effectively
decorated by the ladle, with ivy and clematis, moss, fruit
end flowers. Upon the communion table stood sheaves
of wheat, Maley and oat,. surrounded t y other harvest
produce. The pastor preached in the morning from Acta
xiv., 17, and in the evening from Deut. xsvi., 11. During
the latter sermon the preacher said that they had
decorated the church not so a duty but ass pleasure. lie
WAN thankful to those who thus ministered to their sense
of beauty, in the restoration of nature to her original
position. They had searched the hedgerows and gardens
to beautify the old sanctuary. No paint nor sculpture

The MAYOR read the Health report of Dr. Tizard,
medical officer to the 11..ard. In hi 4 half-yearlyinspect ion
he found the sanitary condition of the borough extremely
good. The births were at the rate of 90 10 per LOOP of
the population per annum, while the death-rate from all
causes was at the rate of 16.0 per thousiand. That from
gymotic or epidemic disease was nearly nominal, and the
town enjoyed a great immunity from epidemic diwases,
far greater than falls to the lot of the majority of English
provincial town. Dr. Tigard, however, recommended

To the Editor. —I was much interested and amwed
last week by reading your article on the flitting of a
Swanage tradesman, and the clever capture of the

F. Hodges, a couple of small lads, each aged 15,
John Bolt and Frederick Larrrcnre, were charged with
a robbery at Mr. Robert Hazel's, of High West-
street. Holt, it would appear, had been recently
employed by Mr. Hazel, and on the Sunday evening
previous he made his way into the private entrance of
the establishment, and from thence into the shop.
Miss Hazel detected him, and very pluckily bolted
the young rascal into the shop, and called her mother.
' He then offered to deliver sip tenpenee he had taken
from the till. This was refused, and P.C. Molland
was called in. The Bench sentenced Holt to fourteen
days' hard labour, and Lawrence, against whom the
only evidence was that he had been waiting outsid.
the shop, was discharged.

This fair was opened in the Erchange on Wednes-
day with a good average attendance, but though there
were plenty of buyers the first day's males were limited,
and in most If the trams:teams that took place there
was a slight reduction in value, the North country
manufacturers leclining to give the prim. asked. On
the second and concluding day there was again a very
fair attendance, with a good number of buyers from
the North; hut the trade wan, if anything, worse than
on Wednesday, and the anticipated dullness of the
market WM fully realised. Scarcely any fleeces were
sold, and those that changed hand. were disposed of
at a reduction .1 another half-penny per lb. Fleeces
that were worth 17.1. a week or AO a!ZO were now
quoted at 131.1 The same observation applies ts hog
fleeces, which were worth one penny per It. lees than

and a fair businemg was done in them at alsegt late

Attention i,.drawn to thev i.eculiarities gliow
. . .

why the methods of valuation in common nee, and
which alone were eintemplated by tire Life Assurance
Act, are in my judgment not applicable to,
and should not have been required for' such a business
as this. Nevertheless, in obedience to the laws the
enornoms labour has been gone through of making a
careful and detailed Valuation f the more than two
millions and a half of Policies comprised in this
branch. The curio assured mid premiums have ben
valued by the English Life Table No. 3 at 3 per cent.
interest, and from the value 1 the premiums deduc-
tions hese been made to provide for future expenses
and profits. The deduction bas been such as to make
a reser% e for all Policies of five }van; standing on lives
above 30 yearn of age, equivalent to the result of a
Inure pronilun aluation. For the remaining Assur-
ances, a ileducthin has been made from the value of
the premiums sufficient to provide an actual rename
for every single Policy in force. The rate of deduction
averages more than 42 per cent, and in no race is lea.
than 23 per cent.
Of the ample sufficiency id thesc reserves, no one
conversant with the subject euf have the slightcA
Amid. As a further precaution, however, you have
thought it desirable, not to divide the whole of the
resiilting .surphis without previously making a
substantial addition to the Contingency Fund • and,
after these precautions have been taken, the Assared's
share id the surplus will provide a bonus of 2.8 i per
cent, of the premiums paid during the quinquennium
on the partuipatinoo l'olicies, a rate of bonus which
but few of your contemporariei can equal or Purpnei.
In conclusion, I may be allowed to congratulate you
on the soundness of the Company's financial condition.
I am, Gentlemen.
Your obedient Servant,
