FEMALE REEORMATORT COMMITTEE.

Mr. F. C. MANSWL read this report as follows :
The Committee of the Female Reformatory School,
to which • sum not exceeding £lOO per annum was
granted at the last Midsummer Sessions for the refor-
mation of females convicted under the Juvenile
Offenders Act, report that they applied to the Directors
of the Devon and Exeter Female Reformatory and
Refuge for the reception of children from this county.
In reply, the following terms were offered :—For any
number of children not exceeding seven, 1:100. For
any number of children not exceeding three, £OO. Any
excess above these numbers to be paid for at the rate of
£l5 per annum. Contracts to be for three years—pay-
ments half-yearly, whether the full number or any in-
mates be received or not. The Committee declined
entering into a contract so manifestly unfavourable to
an equable dispusition of the grant. It WWI also eon-
silt:trod posaible that the amount of juvenile crone
might not reach so high a figure as seven, or even three,
and therefore the proposed contract for three years
would be placing the fund in a still more unfavourable
position. The Commiteee further inquired upon what
terms the Directors would receive individual cases, and
received a reply to the effect that they would receive
each case at WO per annum, inoludlng board, lodging,
clothing, and inatrinition. No conviction has taken
place since the Midanutiner Sessions, consequently the
grant remains untouched."

The 2nd Somerset Militia, under the command of
Colonel Pinney, which has been under training for
the last three weeks, was inspected on Wednesday
by Major-General Eden, commander of the Western
District. The regiment having been put through
various manoiuvres was addressed in complimentary
terms by Major-General Eden, who said that it must
indeed be gratifying to the Lord Lieutenant, to the
commmmung otrwer„ and to all connected with the
I county, to see so tine a body of milttia and recruits
assembled on such an occasion. The Second Somer.
set had some stronger than any other militia regiment
in the.districk and stronger, ha believed, than most
militia regimenta that had been recently called out.
The regiment is expected to be ordered to the camp
at Ahtershott, to be embodied.

INFORMATION-

The book is of singular value. All the leading occur-
renees during the last four hundred years are described
with the hand of • muter, and graphically and skilfully
interwoven with English history, so u to show clearly
and simply the relatton of events, and the intertwining
of the nations of Europe at different periods.

FOR LADIES' SCHOOLS—
A more delightful Class Book cannot be procured. It
has already been largely introduced, and Pi everywhere
found to promote the love of historioal study, by throw-
ing a charm around it which fascinates and stimulates
the mind. Its great aocuracy ie one of its chief reoom•
mendations, and its high moral and religious tone secures
ita approval.
FOR BOYS' SCHOOLS, AND FOR YOUNG MEN
Who are intended to make their own way in the world,
and expect to know something of its history in byegone
days, as well as to have an intelligent acquaintance with
passing events, the book will be found invaluable; for
it embodies all that is most vital in the events of the last
three hundred years, and presents the whole with a
vividness, singularly contrasting with the dry compen-
diums which are usually substituted for living histories.
It is thus at once • treasury of facts and dates, •
summary of important events, and an epitome of
modern civilization.

SMUT IN WHEAT PREVENTED
For ONE PENNY per BUSHEL I I

The Popular Remedy for Smut in Wheat is
PATTERSON'S SMUT ERADICATOR,
Whioh is the most effectual preventive of Smut hitherto
offered, and also the bust remedy against the ravages of
the Slug, Grub, Wireworm,
The extraordinary and increased demand for the
"Smut Brad Water" each suooseding year over that of
the previous one, is • sufficient evidence of its having
been found not only the most effectual preventive of
Smut, ko., but that it !supersedes, where once used, all
other remedies.

BRUT ERADICATOR. —We have had lately brought
under our notice a highly important preventive for the
Smut in wheat. It ii called "Th. Smut Eradicator,"
and is the preparation of Mr. George Patterson, the
Agricultural Chemist, of Stamford. To the farmer it
wlll be found to be of paramount importance, for, by its
use, the Smut in wheat can be prevented at the trifling
coat of one penny only per bushel. The preparation
question le, we are informed, the best, and indeed
only remedy known to prevent effectually the deetrue•
jive ravages of those pests the Slug, Grub, Wireworm,
and other obnoxious insects that are known to be injuri•
cum to the crops. Each packet (price 9d.) is sufficient to
dreu 9 bushels of seed, and has the testimonial of Dr.
Ilre attached at each end of it, so that no difficulty will,
or can poesibly be experienced, in being able to procure
so useful an article. We ourselves have perused a great
many testimonials, from some of the first agriculturists
of the day, all speaking in the highest and most unquali•
lied terms of its extraordinary efficacy.

in custody before J. E. Bridge and E. H. Smith,
Esqrs., charged with having committed an aggra-
vated assault on his wife's child (a little boy about
2 years and a-half old). The child was present and

pearance. The bench severely reprimanded the
prisoner, and sentenced him to six calendar months'
imprisonment with hard labour, at the expiration of
which time he is to be bound over to keep the peace
and be of good behaviour for a further period of 6
months.

tor, presented a report, showing that the highway com-
plained of had been put into a good state of repair, and
the case was dismissed on payment of costs.

Rem:runic. —The Bel fast Banner states that the en-
suing season is expected to be less favourable for etuigra-
lion than any for several years past, owing to the
unpromising condition of commerce and manufactures
in the United States. Within the last six months more
persons have returned to RAUL'S from New York than
sailed hence direct for that port during 1857. There are
but two vessels on berth here at present for America—
one for New York and the other for Quebec. A few
years since there would have been a score at the corres-
ponding date.
PIIIISCRIPTION IN IRBLAND.—A Bill hu been brought
in by Messrs. Dobbs and Bland to shorten the time of
prescription in certain cases in Ireland. At present,
the construction of the expression "time immemorial,"
to include and denote the whole period of time from the
reign of Ring Richard I. (1189-1199), is stated to pre-
duce in many cases great injustioe and inconvenience,
and to remedy this grievanoe the Bill enacts that the
debits to right of common and other profits it preadre
shall not he defeated after 90 years' enjoyment by show-
ing the commencement thereof. Such claims, neverthe-
less, may be defeated in any other legal way, but after
60 years enjoyment the right will become absolute. In
claims of right of way or other casement, the periods to
be 20 and 40 years.
Tin MAYO Taime.—The trial of the Rev. Peter
Conway for the part he took in the Mayo election,
terminated on Saturday. The jury could not agree in
their verdict, and the judge immediately dismissed them.
One of the jurors said he thought it right to say that
the minority of the jury refused to give their reasons
for not miming to • verdict. It was expected that the
trial would have caused great excitement, but this was
not the case. Father Ryan has applied for the post-
ponement of his trial, on the ground of the absence of •
material witneu. The Attorney-Oeueral assented.

SPAIN.

Serious politics have given way to the festivities of
the Csrnival. The Spanish Pmliament—if such a term
can be Applied to the Curtes—ha• not met for the last
four dayo I it will, however, soon resume ita lohours. I
have used the words " serious polities" because the
in:over:tiling of this joyous season bee aasuunel quite a
political character. The attention of the insolence
multitude that thronm the Prodo in minte of the rains
weather Was entirely alisolibed be a grainy of seven
persons, who impersonated the Ministry annul Marshal
Islarvaes, and, so moot • representation was it in the
wholo and in detail, that it was inipoosible for any one
to mistake it. Marshal Narvaez, grotesquely dressed,
WaS represented by a young man said to belong to the
Madrid prem. Like Nereus, he was of low stature, and,
wore the famous block wig you wot of ; and the mask
that covered the features, though something of a carica-
ture, had, like all the others, • strong resemblance to
the original. He tarried hugh wooden sword, Mauled
with red, and as he walked along he brandished the
formidable weapon, ant uttered loud shouts of "Order,
order, above all, or .er. and always order !" favourite
exclamations of the Nlorxhal when in Ilia stoat excited
moments. M. Pidol s sired an • water-curler, and on
his bucket Was a large iilocard with the words, "A Roma
por rod," The ex-M nister of Foreign Affairs is • ma-
tive of 0 Moja, which forniidies water-carriers to Madrid
and Lisbon, and his nomination to the Roman Embassy
wade din greatly unpopular.

MARK•LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

FRIDAY, FEB. 26.—The supply of English wheat
received fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land car-
riage, was very moderate. Although the show of sam-
ples was limited, the demand for all kinds ruled very
inactive, at Monday's quotations. The impor's of
foreign wheat are under 3,000 quarters. Good and line
qualities were held at full prices; tow and damp parcels
were quite neglected. We had• fair demand for barley,
at full currencies; but malt met a very slow sale, at
barely late rates. The show of oats was only moderate,
yet the demand WU heavy, and damp parcels were
rather cheaper. In the value of beans, peas, and flour,
no change took place.

MAIDEN NEWTON.

DORSETSHIRE CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL-
MASTERS' AND SCHOOLMISTRESSES' ASSOCIATION.—
The last quarterly meeting of this society was held at
the boys' school, Dorchester, on Saturday, February
20. The chair was taken by the Hon. and Rev. W.
H. Scott, president. The first part of the meeting
was taken up in a discussion of some of the questions
in school management from the last Christmas exami-
nation papers ; after which the question "What
do the members think of the plan of throwing open
Queen's scholarships to all candidates, whether pupil
teachers or not?" was proposed. The unanimous
opinion was that the plan would not succeed. The
reasons given were that one of the greatest encourage-
ments to become pupil teachers was by this rule
taken away; that the colleges would become filled
by young persons who were merely up to the mark
of the examinations, but without a practical know-
ledge of teaching ; that there could not be so much
guarantee of character as with pupil teachers who
had been carefully chosen and trained ; and, finally,
that we should see something like a renewal of the
old system of persons who could not succeed at other
things trying their hand at teaching, if the plan were
allowed to continue. The next quarterly meeting
will be held in the month of May. The subjects pro-
posed for discussion are "Grammar," and the "Com-
pound Rules of Arithmetic." Any member who may
feel disposed to read a paper on either of these sub-
jects is requested to communicate with the secretary,
Mr. J. Brown, Maiden Newton, some time before the
meeting.

SOUTHAMPTON.

THE OVERLAND AUSTRALIAN MAIL.—The
Aus-
tralian January mail, due in London, vie/ Marseilles,
on Wednesday next, is anxiously looked for. The
mercantile community are more than usually in-
terested in its arrival, inasmuch as it will most pro-
bably bring details of the effect produced on receipt
of intelligence of the late monetary crisis here, and
the failure of so many large houaes connected with
the Australian trade. The general idea in com-
mercial circles is that a severe panic in the colony of
Victoria is inevitable, consequent on the disastrous
' advices forwarded by the London mails of October
and November last, and both of which, being des-
patched concurrently from Suez, would, therefore, in
due course, be delivered in the various colonies in the
early part of January.—Mining Journal of Feb-
ruary 27.
PORTSMOUTH. A Melancholy Cage. Doctor
Ralph, medical practitioner of this town, has died
under melancholy circumstances. A confinement
which he had attended recently terminated fatally,
and the coroner's jury found a verdict in some de-
gree censuring the doctor. Within the last few days
a head-stone has been placed over the grave, and the
verdict of the jury engraved thereon, with severe
comments, by order of a committee. The doctor
was made acquainted with this, and proceeded to
the cemetery; he was so overcome and affected by
what he witnessed, that he returned home, took to his
bed, and died in a few hours.
WINCHESTER LENT FAIR—At this fair on Monday,
there were about four tons of cheese pitched, the
greater portion of which was disposed of after a
protracted sale. At the Corn Exchange there was
an unusually large attendance of agriculturists, it be-
ing the principal seed mart for the year: but as the
sellers were more numerous than the buyers, business
was dull, and what was done was at reduced prices.
The show of horses was large and of good quality;
but few of the animals exchanged hands, except
those belonging to Mr. Rogers, of Itchen, which sold
readily at very high prices. The show of beasts was
limited, but pigs were numerous, with a very dull
sale and at low prices. The pleasure fair was but
thinly attended.
Sociirry or ALIENS.—The annual meeting of the
stewards and trustees of the Charitable Society of
Aliens, for the purpose of nominating children to be
apprenticed, was held at the George Hotel, on Thurs
day evening last, when five children, of the age of
14 years, were named to be apprenticed to different
trades, with premiums of £3O each boy and .£2l each
girl.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

" OLD " BANKS—We have been favoured with s, communication
from • correspondent which Is undoubtedly of considerable
Importance, but which it would not be safe for us to publish,
especially In what is celled its integrity, which course alone
would be sufficient to ensure the practical utility contemplated
by the benevolent writer. We may, however, state that he
alludes to the break-up of the Blendford "Old' Bank, which
was established more than 70 years ago, and calls our atten-
tion to the smallness of the assets—R.s4s, property unencum-
bered—as the result of so long • career of apparent prosperity,
and the fruit of unbounded confidence. He makes reference
also to the failure of Oundry's " Old " Bank, Bridport ; and
after going into certain statements tending to exhibit, if not
to Justify, a certain degree of apprehension as to what may be
looming In the future with regard to some other "Old" Banks,
he asks:—" Would it not be well for the public to woe that
"the safety of their deposits rests upon something more
"mild than the mere reputation of an " Old " Bank 7" Our
