held the post of resident medical officer at the Old
Asylum, at Foment for the lam six years, was elected
on Friday to the medical superintandentship of the
new *return at Portsmouth. designed to accommodate

promotion.

GMAT FLILOII IN MI TRAM-With regard
to the following, which is, of course, very stale news
In Dorchester, we have only to add that our delay in
publishing the facts was owing to great respect and
commiseration for Mr. Damen, who, there was some
slight hope, might not be further harassed during his
painful illness by being made acquainted with the
hopeless state of his affairs. The paragraph having
appeared elsewhere, sooner or later will probably oome
to Mr. Danien's knowledge. At all events we would
wish it "later rather than sooner," and this will be
accepted as our reason for delay.—" We regret to
announce the failure of Mr. B. Damen, corn nodmanure merchant, of Doreheeter. His liabilities are
said to exceed 130,000, and it is feared the assets will
not show more than sa. In the ff. Mr. Damen was
well known for many years in all the markets within
50 miles of Dorchester, and his suspension ham excited
universal regret. His creilt stood very high, and it is
understood that many farmers, who already have
enough to contend against without bad debt,, will be
heavy losers. Much sympathy ia felt for Mr. Diunen
and his family under the circumatasoes, which are
said to have been due to speculations at the time of
the expected outbreak of hostilities on the Eastern
Question. The matter is rendered all the more
distressing owing to Mr. Darnen's serious illness,
from which there is not the slightest hops of his
recovery. Mr. Damen was inland in the Widcombe
Bridge accident at Bath two years ago, and has never
since been the man he was. He le now believed to be
gradually sicking. Some of the heaviest creditors,
we believe, are London merchants."
