made an application for aid towards taking down and
rebuilding the parish church, which he estimated would
oast about ‘l,BOO. Of that sum £1,336 had already
been subscribed. The population numbered about 585,
and the present edifice had only accommodation for 279
parsons. It was proposed to add 106 sittings which
would accommodate 385 persona A grant of £BO was

modation. At present, for • population of :159 person.,
there is only .eat room for 166, including twenty free

218, i.e.- -146 appropriated and seventy-wren free sit-

Sarum, and by the Rev. J. Mansfield, with reference to
St. Mary's Church, Illandford, in the archtleacionry of
Dorset, the transept of which it is proposed to take
down, with the vim of erecting an aisle; but as
there was no formal application in either case, both
matters will be considered at the next meeting. A
letter was received from the Rev. J. K Phillips, vicar of
Warminster, Wilts, in which he expressed • wish to ob-
tain assistance from the society towards the erection of ,
• chapel of ease in hie pariah. The communication was

There was no other business before the meeting.

until the Wednesday following. The act was of
frequent occurrence, and he had cautioned the defen
dant before. The defendant said be was not aware
that he was committing an offence by throwing the
shells in the road. He had acted similar to his neigh-
bours, but if he bad done wrong he was sorry for it.

and stated that if the underwood had been taken it
must have been by the witnesses who had given
evidence. Chalk was fined Is. and expenses, or 14

LA VERSTOCK.--Fies.-00 Monday morning an
alarming lire broke out in the farm-yard belonging
to Mr. Suttee, of Laverstock Mills. There were
four stacks standing in the yard, three of hay, and
the other of straw. The tire spread with great
rapidity, and in • very short time the whole of the
stacks were on fire. It soon spread to the barn, in
which were stored n great quantity of oats, and also
to the granary, which was roofed of thatch. A
messenger was immediately dispatched to Salisbury,
and the borough engine speedily arrived. A stream
of water runs close to the yard, and the engine was
at once set to work. Fears were entertained that
the cottages in the village, which are for the most
part thatched, would take fire from the quantity of
burning embers floating about, but men were
promptly stationed on the roofs, and they ultimately
succeeded, though with great difficulty, in confining
the tire to the yard and- farm premises adjoining.
Superintendent Caldow, of the city police, was in
attendance, and he discovered that the conflagration
was the work of an incendiary. Two boys, it ap-
pears, observed a tramp, named Prideser, come oet
of the gate, and at that time one of the ricks was on
fire. In answer to questions he admitted that be
had ignited the straw. On this becoming known
the polies were soon in pursuit, and they captured
him not far from the fire. He was lodged in the
station-house, and taken before the magistrates on
Tuesday, but in consequence of the evidence being
incomplete, he wee remanded until Thursday. The
&Vain were unable to save either the stacks or the
barns, the whole in fact being destroyed. The
damage is very great, but Mr. Sutton is, we believe,
insured to the full amount.

BROAD CHALK. —nat. —On Tuesday even-
ing, a fire broke out in some labourers' cottages at
Knappa, in the parish. The children were playing
with some 'wirer matches in the forte house, and
becoming *cited, it caught the fume. The lire
soon spread, and as the cottages were roofed of
thatch ; the whole MIA speedily in one body of
flame. The neighbours were promptly in attendanee.
but Ski it was found to be impossible to save the
burning buildings, they turned their attention to the
surrounding cottages, and by dint of great exertion
they succeeded in confining the flames to the three
cottages, which were entirely destroyed. The poor
people lost a great quantity of their furniture, and
as y
are uninsured tbe loss will be very severely
felt.
