From the above the Shareholders will have no

REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE.
-There has been no 'pedal feature in the course al
the pain trade during the week. Wheat has sold
quietly, but with unabated firmness. Rome deliveries
have again been veryanall, but fair arrivals have oome
to hand from abroad
The attempt to make capital out of the Turco-
Berrien War, shad thus f orce up prices, has been rendered
futile by the prolongation of the armistices, and the
more pacific tenor of recent &deices. At the same
time, however, quotations have remained firm, with 1
theprospect of being well supported.
The most important circumstance that is likely to I
influence prices to any extent is the probability of
stronger competition, on the part of France, in the
American and other markets, and there is no doubt
that holders of grain will in oonsegnenoe be more
tutious in parting with their produce than they
wauld have been had the French yield been up to the
average.
Barley is rather wittier. Oats, maize, beans, and peas
have ruled quiet, but unaltered. In flour there is no
change.

THE PROPOSED NAVAL OOLLEGE.

They were met by Mr. B. N. Howard, clerk to the
Local Board, Mr. J. C. Lam, chairman of the board.
Mr. G. Andrews, Mr. J. P. &riven, and Dr. Parsons,
and they 'uispected the Uuderhßl sites. One plan was
for the Government to take the Castle and grounds,
for the building of the College, and throw a bridge
over the Coatis road, so as to connect the =
Naval Cadets' Recreation Ground with the
They also inspected the Common, on the south side of
the Cemetery, which was the site favoured by the
Local Board ; this mita contains between 30 and 40
acres, and overlooks the Roads, Wyke, and the hills on
the south of Weymouth,. it is also just under the
shadow of the Verne CitadeL We believe that Admiral
Wellesley, chairman of the Committee, was much
°wooed to these Underhill sites; the first objection
being that the Mere was nothing but a mudbeak.
Thk however, WM strongly controverted by one of the
Portland gentleman, and we wish the gallant Admiral
could have seen the Mere as we saw it *hely on
Wednesday morning, when a lovely sheet of smooth
and clear water stretched from the Railway-elation to
the Breakwater, and the bottom was seen through

bleakness was the next objection mooted against
Portland, its Northern aspect being To this
one of the Portland gentlemen re by • question
whether the Government to bring up the
Cadets as hothouse elanta? Vet a further objection
was the proposed building would be right under the
guns of the Verne Citadel, which could not be fired
without damaging the College. Considering that the
Nothe guns are repeatedly fired, at Weymouth, and
that simple notice to open the windows is enough to
save the slightest damage there, this objection did not
seem to the Portland gentlemen to have any weight,
and one of those present plainly told the committee
that the matter seemed to have been decided previously,

SPELLING BEE AT TUE DORSET COUNTY

Se !VIOL.

Another very intere.tirt„ing was spent at the
Dorset County School on Thursday, March 23rd,
spelling being Again the chief, though by no means the
sole source of entertainment The words selected on
this occasion were harder and the prizeus more
numerous than at the previous "bee," and fewer
mistakes of a mirth-provoking description were made
by the competitors. The proceedirars commenced with
a duet on the pianoforte by Mrs. Pavey and the Rev.
J. A. Wiz (second master), followed by a humorous
reading given by Mr. Pavey. Misa Syrnes then sang
with pleasing effect a solo, accompanied by Misr
Barnwell. After this the spelling began, Mr. Symes
kindly discharging the somewhat unenviable office of
referee, and the Head Master acting an interrogator.
The word " wether " was the first to prove fatal, being
spelt with an "li," although the meaning was given
with the word. Such words as " nymphonY ."
"synthesis " and others of Greek origin were disposed
of to satisfactiombut " psaltery " met with a victim in
a youth who evidently was meditating on the word for
the meinl household article closely akin to it in sound.
" Succinct," "phylactery," "teetotaler," "erysipelas."
and "strychnine," were the chief stumbling blocks
during the first few courses, and when the spelling
agrin gave place to other amusements the number of
those remaining had dwindled down from 39 to 20. A
trio was then capitally renderel by Ewens. Drew, and
Tounshend, followed by a scene from Shakespeare's
" Midinitnnier Night Dream" most amusingly repre-
sented by five of the boys. Next came a duet on the
pianoforte by the Rev. J. A. Wix and Larkam, after
which another scene from Shakespeare which excited
much laughter, and the spelling recommenced. The
words this time were far more destructive than before,
and the circle around the interrogator became
" smaller by degrees and beautifully lee," as the spell-
ing proceeded. Among the darnie,ring word, this time
were " effervesce " (spelt without the " c "),
" qualmish," " imbrue." " impugn " (the unfortunate
" g" being omitted, and a superfluous "a" placed at
the end), "jugular,' and "fecund" Before the final
" weeding out" of the "Inglorious," the choir Rang a
"round" whieh was much applauded. Then followed
a capital reading by Dr. Symes, and two spirited songs
by two of the boys. The "bee" again went forward
until only nine remained to whom prizes were given
including books, an album, writing case, set of
draughts, pocket book, and special prizes (a knife and
pencil case) presented by Mr. and Mrs. Pavey, and a
consolation prize (a box of colours) by Mr. Ling. The
resit of the proceedings comprised a song by Dr.
Symes. a reading by the head muter, and a. wing by
the second master. The National Anthem finished the
programme, one which gave much pleasure
.to the
boys, and the ladies and gentlemen, who were invited
to hear the spelling. it is almost needless to add that
the boys did not retire without rounds of cheers for
the ladies, their masters and others.

Newtown, a little village near Poole, was the scene of
the openinz of a new Wesleyan Chapel on Thursday last
The budding is a neat and substantial one, and reflects
great credit on Mr. !Bigler, of Newtown, who has carried
out the work very satisfactorily. The total cost of the
undertaking has been about 4909 and of this sum .00
still remains to be raised. The chapel was tilled at the
service held in the afternoon, at which the Rev. L.
Waterhouse, of Chichester, chairman of the Portsmouth
District, was the preacher. A public tea followed in the
same building, of which about NO partook. The meeting
In the evening was attended by many friends from Poole,
Wimborne, and the neighbourhood, and the little chapel
was crowded to excess. The Rev. G. Savery, of Poole,
Superintendent of the circuit, presided, and was sapported
by the Rev. E. Workman, of Bournemouth ; Mr.
Jennings, of Bournemouth : the Rev. 11. Scenes, of
Wareham; and the Rev. L. Waterhouse. Some capital
addresses were delivered and the meeting lasted till ten
o'clock. The proceeds of the day, including collections,
estimated profits of the tea, and subscriptions promised.
amounted to about EX We hope Use remaining £9O will
speedily be raised by some kind friends of the denomina-

OYSTERS.

The select committee appointed by the House of
Common, to inquire into the scarcity of the supply of
n)ster., and the legislative restrictions at present imposed
upon the fisheries, met again on Thimiday.-111r. Frank
Bucklantl outi of the inspectors of fisheries, was further
examined. lie stated that since the last meeting of the
committee he had made an investigation in order to wor-
t-Lin the amount of meat in an oyster as compared with
mutton and beef. He obtained half • dozen of the best
Whitetable natives, which cost 3. ft 1. per dozen, and he
ascertained there were 3o• • it to 13o• of shell. and
that the r ~t wsi at the rate of Its. Id. per lb.. whereas
good w.. ,aobl be procured at from 10d. to Is. per lb.
Perhaini it might be of interest to state a few physiological
facts in order to account for the favour in which the oyster
stood, as an article of diet. Oysters contained, first of all,
a great deal of water of the same composition as sea water.
They also contained much phosphate of iron and oemasone,
, or creatine, which was similar to essence of meat ; also •
certain quantity of gelatine and MOCOLUN and another
material of which phosphorous was the principal ingredient.
This was the principle brain-making form of food that
could be taken, and he believed it was owing to this fact
that those who were fond of Wendy pursuits, and had to
work hard, was always fond of oysters They found that
oysters would bring them better up to the mark than any
other form of food they could take. There was one matter
which ought to be generally known, and it was that people
always opened the oyster on the wrong aide, and served
them upon the flat instead of the round shell. They ought
always to be opened upon theround shell, so that the fluid
in the oyster, which contained a good deal of the amazons
and phosphorous, which were so valuable, might not be
lost.

WABEH/M.

Igqintsr. —An inquest was held on Saturday even-
ing last, at the Globe Inn, Herston, near Swanage,
before Mr. T. L. Travers, acting as Deputy. Coroner
for Mr. Woodruffe Daniel, this year Mayor of Ware-
ham, and as such ex-ritieio coroner of the Isle of
Purbeck, on the body of Caroline Stevens. wife of Mr.
John Stevens. landlord of the Globe. The Coroner
was assisted by Mr. George ('lave Filliter, second
son of the Town Clerk of Wareham, in taking the
evidence and conducting the n proceedings.
From the sworn evidence it appeared the poor
woman, during temporary aberration of mind. had left
her bed some time after 12 ~'clock the previous (last
Friday) night, and had wandered at least a mile down
to the sea shore at Swanage, and there got drowned.
Her body wan found between five and six o'clock last
Saturday morning, quite cold and stiff, on the Swanage
sea shore by the Coastguard. clothed only in the
night-dresa and flannel in which she had left her bed.
The jury, through their foreman (Mr. William Trayte)
returned a verdict of "Met with her death by drown-
ing when in an unsound state of mind." The deceased
was much liked and respected, and great sympathy
was shown for the poor bereaved husband, who seemed
much liAreised.
