DORCHESTER.

We understand that upwards of 40 of the Dorchester
rifle oorps have undertaken to take part in the Bork•
shire campaign. This is exclusive of oilier; and seems
to us to be most satisfactory. It Is said that about SO
of the Dorchester troop of the Q.O.R. yeomanry
Cavalry, under Captain Foster, will also attend.
AT Smorroall RELDSIB' Soctiry.—We
asked to state that a meeting on behalf of this
..ciety will be held in Dorchester on the 4th of
August, the Rev. Reginald Smith presiding.
Doneriswrin AGRIOULTI7RAI 80C1C77.—The annual
show and dinner of this society is fixed for Saturday
next. There will be a very good exhibition of stook,
and the Proceedings it the dinnu are likely to be of
special interest.
We Pie requested to state that Mr. Hayward, butober,
has received a letter from the Control Office, Ports-
mouth, to the effect that the Commisariat-General has
bad no complaint against him sea contractor. It will
be remembered that in the County Coat proceedings
reported last week, some such &negation was made:
we are sorry for having given currency to it.
SMALLPDX—We are gbad to learn that the girl who
brought small-pox from Weymouth to Fordington, Is
recovering, and that by taking the three persons who
lodged in the same house to the temporary hospital
with her, the spreading of the epidemic hu been pre-
vented. But it would be much more satisfactory
Weymouth would save us this trouble, expense, and
alarm. Let the authorities of that borough gather all
the infected together—and they say these are but a
few, so it would not bo diatonic, and keep them in
quarantine • montb,and the disease would be "stamped
out," whereas inertness In the matter is 'umpiring
the death of many. The boldest course is the wisest,
sad weakly waiting for a "more convenient season"
disastrous.

REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE.
The " Mark-Lane Express" of to-night says—
After long waiting, • week of the finest sum-
mer weather has been experienced. Haymakers
have done well, bat some good-coloured gather-
ings have been too hastily put together; there
will this year be accordingly some very indif-
ferent samples. As to the corn crops, a marvel-
lous change in their favour has been
wrought; red qualities, therefore, and some of
toe spring sown, are likely to show beet samples
Of spring coin the barley has greatly improved:
Cr is of beans and peas will probably be heavy.
u: the rain has suited oats. The raised tam-
ture will diminish the lateness of the
g: ztering, and this is important with our own
\ rth of wheat nearly used up. The weather has
done wonders in Franoe,whereoontinued decline
shows the wants of the country were too highly
estimated. In Germany the improvement is
great. In Italy they are well satisfied with the
gatik erings, with certain local exceptions, In
Alg. ria much variety appears, barley and
