English human natero shudders at the bi—(' :
contemplation under other c'-entlistruces of
even one! Still there seems little or no
reason to doubt that the Indian Government
may not have unadvisedly discouraged tho
efforts which so much misery would naturally
evoke from British generosity. For Mr.
Ralli, to whom we have al..eady referred,
observed that it must be borne in mind that
this famine occurred just before the in-
gathering of the rice crop, and that ordinarily
in September and October rico comes down
most ; he had, therefore, no doubt
that the famine was ero now very much
mitigated, June and 'toy, when it first broke
out, being just before the arrival of the new
crop. We think it right.to note these facts
and circumstances because sensation leaders
in the public journals have such a tendency
to evoke pecuniary sacrifices, which, if really
too late, or not absolutely wanted, are of
positive harm rather than advantage, and
freeze the springs of future benevolence at
their source.

lI.—TIIE ANGLO-AFRICAN, 11 little GiTa-
hamstoa n contemporary, has been sent us
by some kind hand from the Cape colonies.
We are always glad to see these colonial
journals, which in Roman times would have
been what were termed " Pro% incial," rather
than Ours; and therefore we have a feeling in
common with them as being only the farther
outposts of an empire on which the sun never
sets. It is sufficiently amusing to find that
the same routine of Pnglish life, both public
and private, occurs with them as with us.
They have their mayors and town councils,
their fashionable marriages in the cathedral,
their criminal quarter sessions, their archery
clubs, their volunteer reviews, nay, even the"
penny readings just as we have. Indeed, ir
we mistake not, they even preceded Ulf in
these last; at all eventa it is a good number
of years ago since a Mr. Frank Fowler, since
deceased, wrote in a little volume called
"Southern Lights and Shadows," some ac-
counts of such readings by gentlemen in one
of our colonies for the amusement of
their friends. And now we find in the Anglo-
African that such readings relieved by music,
form the staple of many colonial evenings'
ontel tainments. They read out there from
Shakespeare, "The Speech of Brutus,"
"Anthony's Funeral Oration over Closer,"
"Brute, and Cassius," likewise "Sketches
by Boa," and "Immortality," by Tupper :
and they play Stephen Glover's " Rifle-
man's March," Cooke's • 'Winter Night's Schot-
tische," and Blookley's "Prince of Wales."
This was at one entertainment ; at another,
where "the large room was so crowded, that
many poraons were unable to obtain seats," the
Rev. L Pyatt read Macaulay's "Uoratius,'
Dr. Churchill sang Vincent Wallace's "Chimes
of Home," and Mr. Bate read an article from
the Time. on "Sydney Smith," and since we
are io for the enumeration, there was given
that beautiful song and chorus, "Come whore
my love lies dreaming," "Evangeline," and
"Molly Beau," interspersed sith readings and
recitatiors of Shakespeare's "Fop," Edgar
Poe's "Raven," and one of "the Caudle Lec-
tures," the whole winding up with the popular
national air "God bless the Prince of Wales."
Nnw, cou d we do the thing better at home
And is it not cheering to see our English
institutions in their utmost detail thus carried
out into all the corners of the earth till emi-
grants and F.nglisiimen can no longer feel
that they are strangers and pilgrims
oven beneath a tropical sun I One only
drawback, although there may doubtless
be many, do we alone perceive in all this—
it is that with our social amenities we
seem also to transplant our social errors. At all
events, the A tivlo-African not only tells us, but
makes it the subject of comment in a leading
artiJle, that a party of fast young gentlemen
have been wrenching off knockers and taking
dos i .in-boards, &c., in the moat, or rather
we should say least, approved style of exploded
Watatfordism. Worse than all, and more auda-
cious than anything that could be done in this
coanbry, they finished off by breaking into a
lawyer's office ! "Drawers wore opened" says our
astounded African brother "and valuable pro-
perty was strewn about the office; title deeds
were torn up and the most wanton mischief was
perpetrated. An iron chest in the room, which
was unfortunately not locked, was emptied of
its contents, and the cash box seemed to have
been used in the same manner that a football
would have been." It certainly is lamentable
that a certain class of the English abroad will
always carry our popular vagaries to excess,
bringing the name of the most respectable and w ell-
beha ved of nations into a bye-word ands reproach.
But surely if there be a single rhinoceros left
beyond the Orange River, ho might afford far
better scope than this for the escapades of such
wild adventurers
lII.—WiIAT OF Tag POTATO BLIGHT 1 A wet
September is a certain encouragement to the rot;
but we are not yet thoroughly alarmed, because
not yet convinced that the almost universal
blackening of the hau:in is anything beyond the
ordinary autumnal ripening and decay. True it
is that the price of wheat and flour is confirmed
in all our markets by the prevalent apprehen-
sions of a potato failure. In Dorset, not many
potatoes are grown; our staple is barley, and
the frightful state of the barley crop in Wiltshire
is already driving in buyers for our superior
chalk grown crop, which, in general, has been
well saved. Another week or two will deter-
mine whether or not the potato failure is to be
serious; and, if serious, all we can say is "God
help tie poor."

early on a raw morning in September—and each a
September—the men would be all the better fortified
for the day's duties if they had something by way of
refresher on arriving. And thus it happened that
on the volunteer trains reaching Sherborne between
11 and 11.30, the several companies were matched
to the King's School ground, where bread and cheeps
and ale, with temperance beverages for the men of
abstinence principles, were provided for them ad
Maroon, all of excellent quality.
Shortly before one o'clock the various corps
marched to the Scene of operations, accompanied by
Lashio( the townsfolk and visitors. A more pleasant
spot for such • meeting than Sherborne Park, thrown
open for the purpose by G. D. Wingfield Dighy, Eat.,
could not be well conceived. The lawn and (leer
park forms a grand plateau eminently suitable for
military manoeuvres, while the surrounding woods
and the range of hills in the background, whose sides
are studded with luxuriant trees, oombines to form •
delightful piece of English scenery. The number of
spectators was peat, perhaps as many as 5,000. Along
the drive in front of the Castle was • long line of
carriage' containing a number of the minty gentry,
amongst whom we noticed—Sir R. Glyn, Bert., Lady
Glyn, Sir E. Greathed, K.C.&, Colonel Wilberforce
Greathed, J. Goodden, ffiig., and family, Colonel
l'inney, Sir William C. Medlyoott, Lady Medlyoott
and family. Mre. Yeatman and family, Stock;
Singer, Mt.. Williams, Wantland; Miss Neale,
Yeovil; Mrs. King and family, Weethall ; Mrs.
Coombs, Dorchester ; Rev. W. Lyon and Mrs. Lyon,
Mr. J. Bergman, Mr. T. Ffooks and party, Mt. 11.
C. Goodden and party, Mr. E. Raymond (Mayor of
Yeovil), Rey. If. Wickffiun. Mrs. and the Mimosa
Wickham, Mrs. J. J. Melmoth and family, Dr.
Williams, Mrs. Falwaiser and family, Mr. Turner,
Mies Turner, &c., &a The ground was efficiently
kept during the afternoon by the yeomanry cavalry,
and. the Dorchester rifle band, under Mr. Henry
Wellspring, did battalion duty, playing with great
steadiness and precision. The following are the re.
turns of the volunteers on the ground

About one o'clock the Lord Lieutenant (the Right
Hon. the Earl f Shaftesbury), and the reviewing
officer (Lieut.-Col. the Hon. W. J. Colville) arrived,
accompanied on horseback by SU J. H. D'Oyly,
Bart.; Major D'Oyly, of the Bengal Army Corps;
Capt. /Harwood S. Yeatman, Q.0.R.Y.C.; Capt.
Sir It. G. Glyn, Q.0.R.Y.C.; and other gentlemen
of the county. A general saute was given by the
volunteers, and the band played the National
Anthem. After an inspection, the force marched
past in open (*lump, and then the artillery, who
were to take the part of "the enemy" in the sham
fight, proceeded to Jerusalem Hill, a rather abrupt
eminence three-quarters of a mile distant, to take up
their position. Shortly afterwards the infantry set
out to dislodge them. A quarter of • mile in front,
• temporary bridge bad been thrown scram the
lie-ha, which the enemy bad left undefended.
Haying crossed this without hindrance, the attacking
party, leaving behind a reserve of four oompanies,
continual, advanced to the hill, clearing the wood on
either side by two companies of skirmishers, as the
main body proceeded, maintaining an effective fire
to the position of the enemy. The defenden of the
hill now poured forth a tremendous fire, but the
attacking party pushed steadily on till near the
crest of the all, when a line was formed preparatory
to the final rush, each company 1111 it formed, taking
up the fire. But now the alarm to prepare for
cavalry was given. A retreat will ordered, and
company squares were formed to receive cavalry,
but owing to the failure of a second troop to be
present, none cane. However, had they been kind
enough to aria, it was mandated they would have
turned the fortune of the day against the party of
attack, and, adopting that view, the commander of
the infantry proceeded to conduct his men across the
Its-ha as speedily and safely as possible. The
column moved steadily towards the bridge, and the
skirmishers leaving their cover to protect the rear.
The reserve having crossed the bridge threw out
skirmishers on either flank to line the Ha-ha and
cover the retreat. The main body and skirmishers
having safely passed the bridge, the reserve skir-
mishers immediately opened fire. The whole force
then resumed their orginal formation, and advanced
in review order to salute the Lord-Lieutenant.
Square was then krmed, and the Eight Hon. the
Earl of Shaftesbury and the reviewing staff rode to
the front, when

Lord 811•FTLVICRY, 'damning the volunteer',
rid :

Men of Dorset—lt has frequently been my great
gratificatioa and my great honour to attend these
reviews, and to thank you personally for what I have
seen of your discipline and good conduct. I should
hardly dare to speak of myself, ignorant ss I am of these
things, but I have the high authority of the inspecting
Officer of the day, who assures me that he is highly de-
lighted with whet ho has seen—with your order, your
discipline, your steadiness, and your great capacity for
military effort, should you be called upon to elbow your-
selves in the field against an invading enemy. I said to
your commanding officer, our friend Colonel Hansel.
"Now, tell use truly, suppose these fellows were wanted,
would they come up to the .snatch P" He replied,
"Aye, thee would come up as well as any men in the
kingdom ; " sod I believe it my boys. I have no doubt,
my boys, that you would do so; bat God forbid that
you should be called upon. If you are, lam sure that
you will show yourselves to be what yea are—trnc,
honest, free Englishmen, prepared to defend your Queen,
your country, your wives, your daughters, your homes
and hearths, and every domestic institution. Now, my
friends, I will point out to you something that has lately
occurred on the continent of Europe, and from which
you may learn a great lemon of the value of a united
people—of a people bound together by a common feeling,
by • common interest, and having a common object, and
a common language. Have you not seen in the late
campaign between the Austrians and the Prussians an
instance of this? How is it that the Austrian forces
faded and melted like wax before the Prussians? Because
they were made up of people having different languages
and with nothing in common, people. who had not the
same institutions and the same feelings; the Italians
were commanded by a Transylvanian, who did not care
for the country he was called upon to defend. But
what was the case with the Prussian'? They possessed
a small army, but it was an army composed of men of the
same nation, speaking the seam language, feeling the
&SIMI and having • common interest in their father-
land—having something to maintain and something to
defend ; and one Prussian was found is the day of
struggle equal to 100 Austrians; and that will bo the
011.., with you, my men, if ever you are called upon to
defend your beloved country; each of you will be equal
to twenty of the adversaries who should dare to sot
their feet upon the sacred soil of England. I feel satis-
fied you will combine in your character the; civil service
of the country and the military power you have ex-
hibited to-slay, but it will not be used for the
purposes of aggression. heaven forbid that this country
should fever dream of aggression, for it ii powerful
enough, and is great enough to exercise • hty in-
fluence upon the destinies of the world; not by violence, j
not by overbearing, not by aggression, but by the great
spectacle of a free people that can govern itself and
that knows its responsibility to Co,' and MAD —(oheers).
That in the way in which you shall influence the world;
that is the way in which you shall maintain your position,
and in which. I trust, you shall bring other nations to
imitate your example, to enjoy the same noble institu-
tions, and to spaced throughout the length and breadth
of the drilled world the freedom of our institutions
and tho !wooer and dignity of old England. And now,
my friends, let use say, in conclasion, you know there
aro three things, loyalty to the Queen, fidelity to your
country, and mutual reepeet and kindness one towards
another; let these be the principles which shall govern
you all, for as you know, from the highest authority,
even from sacred writ, that the threefold cord cannot be
quickly broken. And now, I thank you all, and I
heartily thank our gallant friend Colonel Hansel, whom
everybody thanks in this county—(cheen)—and I heartily
wish you farewell, and may God grant that we may
meet again in the earning year to witness such a noble
hearty stirring sight as I lave witnessed to-day—
(applause).

The volunteers shortly afterwards marched off to
the town, quite reedy to do justice to a good dinner.
The Dorchieter, Wareham, and Poole Corp., with
their officers, dined at the Antelope hotel, and the
other corps were provided for at the various inns.
In the evening the Areas were thronged, and a
capital display of fireworks concluded the dav's pro-
ceedings. Per once in a way, the volunteers were
favoured with fair—not to may fine weather. The
Lord Lieutenant and staff were entertained at
luncheon at the Townhall, bat the proceedings were
quite private. The whole arrangements for the day
were admirably carried out, and we believe that both
volunteers and civilians thoroughly enjoyed their
visit to fiberborne.

A Volunteer Officer writes :—The field day of the
Dorset Volunteers at Sherborne must have been to
them the best and moot agreeable they ever ex.
perienced. The weather cleared up expressly for
the day, they had high enconiums from the general
officer, and they had a hearty reception from the
people of Sherborne, who certainly did all in their
power to make things pleasant. I have taken the
trouble to ascertain the feelings of a great number,
and they all agree in those points. We shall all, I
believe, retain an agreeable reminiscenoe of the day,
and our thanks are certainly due to the inhabitants
of Sherburne.
