BTURMINSTER NEWTON.

CRICIKT MATOIC —The return match between the
Sturminster "Vale of Blaokmoor Club" and the
Stalbridge "Westminster and Anglesea Club," was
played on the ground of the former on Tuesday last.
The day was remarkably fine, and although the sun
shone out brilliantly there was a fine breeze to
temper it. The occasion drew together a large
number of those interested in this noble game, as
well OA of those who are ever ready when an opportu-
nity offers of taking a holiday. We noticed a goodly
number of ladles in the field, who appeared to take
a great interest in the game and whose presence
considerably enlivened the iwoosedings. It was
universally acknowledged that the bowling and field-
ing were very good nn both sides, bit the Stalbridge
awn handled their beta with an infinitely superior
skill to the Sturininster, which might be expected
from their being so long established ; and the result
proved them tole the winner with seven wickets to
go down.

MITHOD OF MARINO COMFFIRRIT OUNPOIVDIIII.—"A
mat curious night," says Montgomery Martin in his work on
" China," "met our view on entering factory, where some
five hundred celestials were seen busily engaged altering the
shape to convert the low-prioed withered Bohai tea into coun-
terfeit Gunpowder." Many such factories were set up when
the Chineee first heard that the English Gorernmeut would for
the future tax the common and the best tea alike. By cover-
ing the counterfeit with the same colour as the wetly true
sort, the imitation le rendered so exact, that it is readily passed
off to the consumer no the real, at double Its original cost.

supply of English wheat came to hand, coastwise and by
Land carriage. Although the show of samples waa
small, the demand was inactive, but without any change
in price, compared with Monday. Only 360 quarters
of foreign wheat have come to hand this week. Good
and fine qualities sold slowly, at full prices. Low and damp
qualities were much neglected. We had • steady de-
mand for barley, at full quotations. The transactions in
malt were rather limited, but no change took place in
prices. Oats—the supply of which was small—were in
fair request, at exterme rates. Beans, peas, and flour
changed hands at full prices.

nesday, at the Council Chamber, before Mr.
It. M. Wilson, on the body of John Fidler, aged
73 years, who died suddenly on Tuesday morning.
It appeared that the deceased, who had been for
some time afflicted with a constitutional cough,
went to bed on Monday night comparatively well,
but about half-past three o'clock on Tuesday morning
his wife awoke and found that he was dying. She
spoke to him, but did not get any answer, and
shortly after be died. Mr. John Winzar, surgeon,
stated that the deceased was afflicted with chronic
bronchitis, and it was his opinion that this oom-
plaint, aggravated by cold, was the cause of death.
The jury returned a verdict of "Death from Natu-
ral Causes."—At the close of the inquest, Mr. Win-
zar requested permission of the Coroner to allow him
to make a etatement respecting an inquest whie.h.had
lately been held on Mr. Thomas Lawrence. His
attention had been drawn to the matter by a report
which had appeared in the Wiltshire County Mirror,
in which, as a friend informed him, he had been
shown up. This report lasted that he was called on
to attend Mr. Lawrence, and that he had not at-
ten ked, but had sent some medicine. The report
also stated that the next day on his (Mr. Winter's)
refusing to attend, Mr. Buckland was sent for—The
Coroner said that he did not know whether any of
the members of the present jury were on the inquest
on Mr. Lawrence, but he recollected most distinctly
that one of the inmates of Trinity Hospital said
that Mr. Winzar was sent for during the night, and
he refused to attend.—Mr. Wiuzar said that he re-
pudiated such a statement altogether. At the time
the message came from Trinity Hospital he was very
ill, and was under medical treatment, indeed he had
said that if the Queen herself sent for him he could
not go. Being unable to see Mr. Lawrence he sent
him some medicine, and that was all that he could
do. He heard no more of the matter, but if he
had been sent for the next day he should have gone.
He was particularly &mime to make this statement,
and he felt strongly on the matter, inasmuch as he
had known Mr. Lawrence in his prosperity, and had
been at all time anxious to show him every mark of
attention. Indeed if he (Mr. Winzar) had been
well he should have gone to see him when he was sent
for. He added that same kind friend had sent him
a copy of the Mirror the next day after its publics-
tion.—The Coroner said that he was at an times
happy to give a gentleman in Mr. Winzar's position
an opportunity or' making any explanation. He did
not know whether any of the gentlemen of the jury
were present at the inquest to which rehrenee had
been made, but, certainly, ther:melon all round
was that there had been some neglect. He (the Coro-
nor) knew, however, that Mr. umar had been very
unwell.—The subject then dropped.

AMERICA.

Gott.roe NEW BRUNSWICIL—An immense sensation
has been excited in consequence of the reported dis-
covery of gold in Fair, Stream, above South Bay, a few
miles of Carleton. Numbers had gone out to search for
the precious metal, and it is said that small quantities of
the real dust and a few little nuggets have been found.
Whether the precious metal is there in sufficient quan-
tities to reward the search remains to be seen. The
locality is about eight miles from St. John's, on the
Carleton side of the river, and in the vicinity of a small
stream which empties into the St. John. Numerous
specimens of the precious metal have been collected
there mid brought into St. John's, where they are ex-
hibited. The consequence of this is a good deal of ex-
citement in the neighbouring province among all who
are sanguine of temperament and in a hurry to get
rich ; and many persons are already experimenting on
the diggings. The spot is near the centre of a pretty
large area of metamorphic geological formation—the
largest district of the kind, we believe in New Bruns-
wick ; and this is the formation in which the gold-bear-
ing quartz of Australia and California in to be found.

MILBORNE ST. ANDREW.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE FARNESS' CUM.—The
annual meeting and anniversary dinner of the Mil.
borne St. Andrew Farmers' Club took place at the
Royal Oak Inn on Wednesday. During the early ,
part of the afternoon the members assembled for the
transaction of business, when Mr. Henry Simmonds,
of Milborne, was elected president; and Mr. Henry
Richards, of Abbott's Court, was appointed vice-
president for the year ensuing; Mr. Robert Fookes,
of Milton, was re-elected to the joint office of
treasurer and secretary; and a programme was
arranged for the discussions at the monthly meetings
during the year. By the liberality of the manure
manufacturers patronized by the neighbourhood, the
club is enabled to offer several very liberal prizes for
the best crops of swedes, mangolds, &c. Of course
where crops were concerned, the merits of the dif-
ferent competitors had been determined prior to the
meeting, but the roots sent to contest for the sweep-
stakes were exhibited on this occasion. There were
three entries for mangold, the whole of which were
very good, more especially those of Mr. Caines, the
twelve averaging 19 lb. each, although they had
been drawn some time, and one weighing 24 lbs.
The swedes, for which there were four entries, were
also very creditable, Mr. Simmonds' twelve being
very handsome and evenly grown. Subjoined is the
award of prizes :

Best crop of swedes.—First prize, £7, Mr. Christopher Caine*,
of Mitten; second, £2, Mr. Simmonds, of Milborne ; com-
mended—Mr. Henry Richards, of Abbott's Court.
Best ten acres of common turnipa.—Firat, £5, Mr. Charles
Kent, of Dewlish ; second, £2, Mr. C. Caine*, of Milton; com-
mended—Mr. John Tett, but disqualified for want of acreage,
he having commenced feeding.
Beet four acres of mangold wurtzel.—First, .£5, Mr. T. Bow-
den, of Rake; eecond, £2, Mr. George Keynes, of Spettlebury ;
commended—Mr. John Tett and Mr. Simmonds.
. . . .

Sweepstakes for the best twelve mangold wurtzel —Mr. C.
Cables, of Milton.
Sweepstakes for the best twelve swedes.—Mr. Henry Sim-
monds, of Milbome.
- - - - -

The dinner was served in the large room of the
Royal Oak about four o'clock, to which nearly forty
of the members and their friends sat down; and the
excellent amusements of Mrs. and the Aliases Snow,
and the artistic style in which the choice viands
were placed on the tables, could not fail giving fir-
eral satisfaction. The chair was occupied by r.
Henry Fookes, the president of the club during the
past year, and the vice-chair by Mr. Henry Sim-
monde. Among those present we also observed;
Mr. Henry Richards, Mr. Roper, Mr. W. C. Spoo-

SOUTHAMPTON. —All the detached offloes and
buildings belonging to the great military hospital at
Netley are now being roofed in. The main build-
ing, the longest and largest in Europe, will, it is ex•
peot,ed, be roofed at the latter end of the year.
About 1,500 workmen will shortly be employed
upon it. The fagade of the hospital will have • mar
miloent appearance from Southampton Water.
Extensive barracks are to be built to the wed of the
hospital. Between the barracks and Netley Abbey,
a town to be called Netley is springing up. Several
handsome taverns and hotels are being built there,
and • post•oftice is to be opened immediately. The
town of Netley is delightfully situated, and can be
made a very healthy one. It is on a higher slava.
tiou than the Abbey, with declivities on the south-
east and west sides of it, which will be well adapted
for drainage. About 600 persons are at present at
work on the hospital.

before it was entirely burnt. He had had 10s. 9d. in
money and beer, but the landlord would not pay
him the difference. Mr. Coffin afterwards Attended,
and after some conversation, agreed to pay the re-
mainder of the money. The note was issued by the
Royal Bank of Scotland, and the Magistrates said
they thought they would pay the amount of the

note, upon the remainder being sent, together with
a statement of the circumstances, which they would
sign on behalf of the landlord.

had been towed under the Wharf stores, from whiCh
some men in the employ of Messrs. Coldecott and
Bawtree, corn merchants, &c., were unloading super-
phosphate to the upper story, and, after a consider-
able quantity had been removed, it was found neces-
wiry to reverse the barge for greater convenience.
It had scarcely cleared the stores when the upper
floor gave way, bringing with it the goods depo-
sited and the men, together with the under floor,
to the basement of the buildings into the water.
Some deals kept up the floor on one side, and pre-
vented any injury to tha men beyond the fright and
a few bruises, together with a partial ducking.

robbery was committed there. He has since been
.unemployed, and warn in needy circumstances.
