WEYMOUTH ROAD-MAKING.

To the Editor of the Dorset County Express and
A gricetUurai Gazette.

Sin,—ln your leading article last week on the
Duchy of Cornwall, you made 50020 remarks relative
to Boards in general, exceedingly appropriate to the
Weymouth Board of Health. Previous to the appear-
ance of your last week's issue, I was puzzled to
understand why the surveyor was mending the road
in Great George-street with brickbats, paushards,
broken slates, and old lathe and mortar. I can DOW
see through it all as clearly as a pikestaff. Depend
upon it the surveyor is a bit of a wag, and that his
object in putting such rubbish on a roadway was, to
teach the Local Board the lesson, symbolically, that
in his opinion they were as obtuse in intellect as a
brick wall, and that for all practical purposes in the
management of the affairs of the town they greatly
resembled a lath-and-plaster partition, the chief use
of which is to afford protection to rates. As I sup-
pose that numbers of my brother townsmen have felt
surprise at the system of road-mending adopted in
the street to which I have alluded, your insertion of
this would greatly oblige
Your obedient servant,

A SHORT CUT TO THE BAR—It!. rumoured that one
of our Inns of Court has lately contracted the habit of
°ailing gentlemen to the bar without having kept the
number of terms which has hitherto been regarded as
essential We are informed that several gentlemen
from the colonies, some of them members of the Indian
civil service absent on leave, have come over with an eye
to securing some of the many judicial appointments of
which we hear an much now-a-days, and that they have
been called to the bar, having kept in some cases as few
lin four terms. We do not wish to speculate on the
effect which may be wrought upon our colonial fellow-
subjects if an attempt is made to govern by the law
through gentlemen who have not been regularlj educated
to it; bit we venture to point out to the learned bendier,
that charity begins at home, and tkat, if the short, road
to the r is open to non-lawyere from India, attorneys
of standing and experience in this ;country ought to be
permitt to travel the same web—Cose Legal

ANOTHER VISIT OT HEENAN TO ENGLAND—There
is every probability of our having another international
contest for the championship of the world. The re-
doubtable "Benicia Boy," we are informed from a letter
dated New York, Mareli 19, was to sail in the City of
Washington, on Saturday, March 22. The object of
his visit will be to test the prowess of Jem Mace, the
?resent Champion of England, and his right to hold
the belt. We have already informed our readers that
it was the "Boy's" intention to visit England to wit-
ness the Exhibition in May, and we understand that he
has entered into an engagement with a circus company.
Heenan is in good health and looks well, and will be
accompanied by his brother, who is, if anything, of
more gigantic proportiona than the "Benicia Boy" him-
aelf.—Sporeing Life.
ONE HUNDRED MILES IN NINETEEN HOURS.—
Howard, the pedestrian, undertook, on Monday, at
Bath, the above gigantic task, and, though he did not
accomplish it, it seems little short of marvellous that
any man's powers of endurance could enable him to
achieve the terrific task of running 91 miles in 19
hours. Howard started from the Gloucester Inn,
Waloot, at six o'olock iii the morning, and his progress
during the day was watched by vast crowds at various
points of his route, who displayed the liveliest interest
iu the success of the hardy competitor for distinction
in long distance running. Taking into account the
many obstacles to be contended against, in the shape
of bad roads, unsettled weather, and hindrance from
the crowd, it would have been scarcely pomible to
exceed the feat that Howard actually did aooomplish.
As showing the indomitable courage of the man after
90 miles had been got over his running was very light
and springy and the pace good. On returning from Ms
last journey Howard received the heartiest congratula-
tions of his friends. The following is the score of the
several runs :—First six miles, 36 min. ; second, 38
mm. ; third, 45 min. ; fourth, 5.5 min.; fifth, 65 min. ;
sixth, 55 min. ; seventh, 62 win.; eighth, 64 min. ;
ninth, 72 min. ; tenth, 62 nun. ; eleventh, 65 min. ;
twelfth, 65 min.; thirteenth, 75 min. ; fourteenth, 77
min. : fifteenth, 72 min.; one mile in 8 minutes.

POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Cobden, it is said, has a work In the press, whieh
it is expected, will be published in the course of the
present month, reviewing the military and naval expen-
diture for the last twenty years. The different invasion
and war panics, which during the period comprised
in the work have contributed to swell up the expendi-
be sure, will be discussed, of course, from the Manchester
point of view. Mr. Cobden's views on this subject
cannot fail to be interesting, and to the public
financier they will be valuable in the highest degree.
The Civil service estimates for 1862-3, issued on Mon-
day, show an increase, as compared with the previous
year, of nearly a quarter of a million.

LAW AND CRIME.

TRIAL OF A LIVERPOOL TRADZSMAN FOR POUJORT.
—At the Liverpool Assizes on Wednesday morning,
?dr. Thomas Corkhill, cabinet-maker, was indicted be-
fore DD. Justice Wilke for having at Liverpool com-
mitted wilful and corrupt perjury. The perjury was
committed on the 3rd of February last, when the pri-
soner was being examined before one of the Commis-
sioners in the Liverpool District Court of Bankruptcy.
On that oocasion he swore that he had paid to John
Crawley the sum of £46 10s. for work done and money
lent, for which he produced a receipt, purporting to
be signed by Crawley. Crawley swore that he had
never received the sum named, and stated that, at
porkbill's request, he manufactured the receipt ;for the
alleged payment. The jury found the prisoner guilty,

GROCERS' GAZE*I'TE,

LONDON COLONIAL PNODOOL —The colonial produce-
markets have not shown any immense in activity this
week, the buyers still restristing their operations, and
the arrivals of Pima artielee having been large. Suer
remains flat, but the limited quantity brought forward
has prevented any further decline in prices. The main-
tenance of the existing male of duties has failed to in-
fluence the demand to day, as the trade generally did
not anticipate any change this season. The 419,730
bags of Java coffee brought forward by the Netherland
Trading Company on the 2nd inst. went Ito l per
cent. abirfli the valuations for good ordinary
quality, which realised 440. to 460. This favour
able result hae not yet had any decided effect on the
market here, pending the landing of the numerous
parcels of Ceylon and Singapore from the recent arrivals.
naltpetre is unaltered. A. portion of the misaia limes
just landed has been sold at 90s. to 965. per cwt. Black
pepper has met with an active inquiry at stronger rates.
Tim tea-market kas been firm, with • steady business.
Fine Boning tangoes support their previous value, and
the transactions in blueish leaf sorts, at about 1.- bd.

A curious case Came before the Galway magistrate,
on Monday. A girl of the town robbed • smolt farmer
of £B6. There mere four 1:20 notes. It is alleged that
a merchant gave I:60 in sovereigns for the i'Bo in notes,
but this is yet to be prated. The lid sovereign, how-
ever, were restored through the confessional. The Rev.
Mr. Kearney was examined and refused to any foul whctn
he got the money, as it was in the confrsaird he got it
though it might be six months after the confession
when Its actually received it. The Bench decided that
he was bound to snow, r the attorney for the prosecution,
and the case was adjourned in order to allow time for
making the merchant anti-made.

Referring to the recent attempt to murder Colonel
Knox, in Tipperary. the Dublin correspondent of the
Times says :—" The pistol was loaded with shot, and
one grain only hit the Colonel, who had • narrow
escape. The assassin and a companion who stood near
then ran away. Four years ago, when two men where
convicted and executed in the same county for the
murder of Mr. Ellis, it was ascertained that Colonel
Knox was to have been assassinated in a fortnight after,
if the tastier, had not been arrested. If this attempt
was made in pursuance of a decree then passed in the
Riband Lodge it shows that the conspiracy still lives
in that now peaceful country. No canoe has been
as signed for this dming outrage,

Crain aub Commtrce.

At Manchester the cotton trade is still gloomy and
discouraging. Buyers cannot be had but at lower rates,
and it is therefore oily manufacturers who are pushed
for money with wheal business can be transacted. There
is further talk of abort time, and in twine cases manu-
facturers are closing their mills altogether. One agent
here states that he received notice from three millowners
on Tuesday, announcing their intention to stop entirely.
The eondition of the working classes is thus getting
from bad to worse, and the suffering in some distr eta
Is most distressing. The amount of mendicancy surpasses
anything ever recolected, the operatives going in com-
panies about the country to farmhouses, the villas of the
gentry, and to all abodes indicating a position above
their own. Yet, in the adsence of political excitement,
they are mostly quiet, and endure their sufferings ap-
parently with meekness. Here and there the regular
mendicants mingle with them, representing themselves
to be operatives out of woi k, and, showing • different
spirit, arc troublesome to deal with where there is not
• police force to deal with them. The home trade
market is very flat, the houses in that branch restrict-
ing themselves mostly to buying by samples, and show-
ing a dinposition to stock as little as possible. A Con•
federate brig, the Adeleide, reached Liverpool on Wed-
nesday, with • cargo of cotton and resin. She left
Charleston on the 3rd March, having successfully run
the blockade.

LITIRPOOL, Friday.—The trade oontinue to est in
the " haud-to-meuth" principle, and we cannot there-
fore report any great amount of business, but quits
sufficient is taken into eonsumption to prevent stooks
from accumulating, and prioes remain tolerably
steady.
LONDON, Friday.—ltather more firmness has been
observed in the English wool trade, and the quotations
have been fairly supported. Colonial and foreign wools,
however, have changed hands to a very limited extent,
by private contract, at late rates.
BILDFORD.—There is no great animation in the wool
market, and spinners do not appear eager to buy. Deep-
grows wools, which have experienced considerable
depression for the last two months, seem to be again

rather more in favour, and buyers can be met
• without a concession in price. All good wools are
steady in forioe, and stooks generally are far from
heavy. A little new wool lies come into the market
this week.

many of the seamen's families, as great numbers are ill

additional particulars of interest relating to the

The remaining portion of the Iniga projecting iron
stem or prow of the Archilles, 50, iron vessel, building
at Chatham, was successfully fixed in its place, on
Wednesday. The stein is of great strength, weighing
upwards of 20 tons, and was forged at the Thames
Ironworks, Blackwell. It is made to project some

SOVITAMPTOYL—Mr. Brodie Willcox, M. P.
for SoUthaniptori, died on Thursday from in-
juries teoehred while engaged in superin-
tending the cutting
.down of wine timber
some time since. The deceased gentleman
was a staunch Liberal, favourable to n large exten.
lion of the suffrage, vote by ballot, and ffireet taxa-
tion. He was first elected for Southampton, with.
out opposition, in 1847.
THE RSPRESENTATION OP SOUTHAIIPTON.—The
intelligence of the melancholy death of Mr. Brodie
M'Ghie Wiloox, who has sat as one of the members
for this borough since the year 1847, has excited
much regret among all classes of the inhabitants.
Flags were hoisted at half-marit on all the shipping
in the docks and in several parts of the town, and
many of the tradesmen put up their shutter* us
mark of respect to the memory of the late member.
Mr. Wiloox was the chairman of the Peninsular and
Oriental Company, and a director of the Dock Com-
pany, and always took a warm interest in all
matters connected with the advancement of the
town. The question of a successor in the Parlia-
ttientary representation is already exciting mach
attention, and, in the chaotic state of parties which
has prevailed here for some years past, the
gelation of the problem will be a task of no
small difficulty. Several nutter! have been whis-
pered about as those of probable candidates,
and the walla are freely placarded with large posting
bills, as "Mangles for Southampton," and again,
"Electors of Southampton I Look to your in.
tomtits. The Hon. W. Cowper for Representative."
Captain C. E. Mangles, who is thus indicated, is the
chairman of the South-Western Railway and the
West India Royal Mail Companies, and also a
director of the Dock Company, which naturally
gives him great local influence, and he is looked
upon with favour by a large section of the electors.
On the other hand, the strong "broad gauge"
feeling which has for some time existed in the
borough may probably operate adversely in some
quarters, but to what extent remains to be seem.
Captain Mangles arrived from London by the 5 pm.
train. As yet nothing is positively known, but
there is every probability of his offering himself for
the vacant seat, and it is expected that his address
will be issued in the morning. One or two other
gentlemen are feeling their way, either personally or
by their agents, but nothing has transpired beyond
what is shove narrated.

DORCHESTER FARMERS' CLUB AND THE
"DORSET CHROIS'IDLE."

To the Editor of the Dorset Coo oty Ea-press and
Agricultural Gazette-
Stß,—Will you allow me a abort space ia your
columns to correct an evil which may arise if anyone
reads the Chronicle's garbled report of Mr. Wood'.
opening address to the Dorchester Farmers' Club.
It appear. to me that the motive for cutting it down
was purely political, care having been takes to omit
that part of Mr. Wood's excellent lecture which
showed the advantage of free trade. Now, Sir, it
is very clear that whenever a meeting is reported
in that journal, a'speaker is faithfully mirrored to the
public only so long as his views are compatible
with the Chronicle's antiquated Tory notions.
The moment a liberal idea is expressed the report is
either cut short or so mutilated as to be mere
" chips in porridge."
I wish the Chronicle to understand that if it
"plays foul" with the reports of the Dorchester
Farmers' Club again, I shall feel it my duty to pre
pme that the Chronicle reporter be turned out.—
I am, Sir, your's respectfully,
A MEMBER OF THE CLUB.

[We advise our respected correspondent to leave
the Old Lady alone. She is somewhat like the
Yorkshireman's mare—"you will find a great deal of
trouble to correct her, and when you have done so,
she is good for nothing."—[En. D. C. E.

LETTER, No. 1.
To the Editor of the Southern T

Ste,—We hear Captain Powell, C. 8., has succeeded
Captain Robert Harris in oommand of H.M.S. Bri•
tennis. We hope the new captain will, to some extent
at least, remove the restrictions imposed upon the
cadets this half, and allow them some of the privileges
they wete accorded last half. To restrict the young
gentlemen to one person, from whom alone they may
putchase refrealiments, is • great injustice both to them
and to the tradespeople who prepared places, and laid
in large stocks in ignorance of any such monopoly being
imminent. The tradesmen of Portland (judging from
the fuss that was made about her leaving Portsmouth)
looked upon the advent of H.M.S. Britannia as a
petfect godsend; but it appears this harbour is not a
favourite station with naval officers. Yet we should
have thought (in our ignorance) that the decision ef the
Admiralty would have been sufficient for their servants;
for, doubtless, the authorities had good reason, for re-
moving the vessel from Portsmouth. If • naval cadet
spends his money freely he is generally too well up to
the mark, cheerfully, to pay twopence for an article
the market price of which is one penny. It is said the
cadets are supplied from Weymouth because beer was
was sold them in Portland. Why is this transgression
condemned at Portland, and winked at when done else-
where? Has not wines (and we have no doubt beer
tool been snpplied at the play-ground since the restric-
tion complained of came in force! And this, forsooth,
is the only reason given why ymng gentlemen have six
months' leave stopped for entering • respectable re-
freshment room, or fly from • petty officer's presence as
a thief might from a bobby. It seems strange that the
sons of gentlemen must be denied the privilege en-
joyed by any ragamuffin who happens to have a copper
in his pocket. If these sucking Nelsons need so much
more supervision than other young people, then might
not that supervision be conducted in true open English
fashion? Does it not appear quite as easy to send a
petty officer into a refreshment room, where the cadet
could procure what they require in comfort and under
shelter, as to have one secreted in the bar of an inn,
peeping and prying, like a cat Ma rat hole, for an oppor-
titnity to pounce upon the unlucky delinquent whose
friend has neglected to play cave in time. We fear it is
more with • view to make this place utterly detestable
to the cadets, 69 well as the officers, that these restric-
tions are imposed. Such regulations dos great injustice
to tradespeople here who pay their taxes, and are as
jealous of their reputation as any one who can be
imported from over water.—We are, &c.,

THE DISTRESSED IN LANCASHIRE.
To the Editor of the Dorset County Express and
A griculturca Gazette.

Si,—Allow me to suggest, through the medium of
your widely-circulated journal, the propriety of endea-
vouring to get up an amateur concert both vocal and
inetrunientad, to be held in the Townhall, Dorchester,
fur the benefit of our distressed fellow-countrymen in
the North. I have no doubt but the able bandunater,
with other members the band of the 3rd Dorset
Rifles, with the consent of their gallant captain, would
readily afford their valuable aid for this praiseworthy
object. And I doubt not but there are parties of suffi-
cient vocal talent in our town who would gladly COMO
forward and use their best efforts to afford an evening's
amusement to the public, for assistanoe to those who
are at present so greatly in need of it. Apologizing on
your valuable space, I remain, yours obediently,
