was very fond of them, bemuse their Master who west
before them did more preaching in the opesair than
he did en.doors. He knew what it was to have dirt,
stones, eggs, and apples thrown at him, and en one

Mr. HUlrf proposed the name of • gentleman, who is
the Nadu Alderman, Mr. Alderman Gregory. They
kale him very well, and had watioed his public
career, and be believed they would all be of the
opinion that he was • very eligible gentleman indeed
for the post.
Mr. A. H. Loci had great pleasure In seconding the
notion, remarking Mr. Aldormaa Gregory was • very

Dr."A...Poen supported the proposition. He hoped
sever they did would be naaaous. He did not
.-soz they would find a better man.
The motion was carried unanimously.
Mr. Alderman GILIGORT : I am exceedingly obliged
to you for the kind compliment you have paid me in
electing me governor of the Grammar School to fiU the
vacancy occasioned by the lamented death of Mr.
Alderman Gal*. I feel I shall somewhat
Inadequately fill his place, for weall know how zealous
he was for the promotion of that Institution; but I
assure you my bast endeavours will be devoted to
provide • want felt for many years in this town—a
good school, where tradesmen and other residents in
the town can send their children to have a smnd
education at a very small outlay, instead of being
obliged to send them ont of the town at • considerable
expense. The building Is now getting towards oom-
Ostion, and I apprehend the next principal Wag will
bet° elect a suitable muter, and • great deal of the
well being of this school depends upon the selection of
that gentleman. I understand there areal/me number
of candidates, ani I hope the governors will be able
to pitch on the right man. If we do this I think we
shall found an excellent school, and in • few years we
shall see the Dorchester Glimmer School one of the
most flourishing Institutions in the town.
Mr. A. Pops: I am afraid Mr. Alderman Gregory
will find the office no sinecure. The governors sat
seven hours the other day, and very probably we shaU

The examiners' reports were of a most exhaustive
character. With regard to Cl&ISISI IL, I iL, and IV.,
French, Mons B. Probst, ACT., reported that, taken
as • whole, there had been steely and satisfactory
progress during the year. Mr. A. Clark, Newport,
examined the Shakespearian papers, and gave an
excellent report, awarding especial praise to Scutt 1. in
the 6th; Smith, tildfori. Winiains, and °dive in the
5; Thorburn, &mire" Hackett, and Reid U. in the
3rd form, who did excellent papers.
In English grammar, Mr. A. K A. Nicol, Helidon
Vicarage, Northampton, mid : I have much pleasure
In stating that I consider the papers very well done. I
The answers are very full, but at the same time not
too lengthy. In answering the questions there has
been a great deal of that too rare faculty, common
sense shown. Is the upper pima Smith L did an
seamen; ~ea, oho ...O21.011:10If of which WOO o=ol3-
tionally wood. Scutt I. wee not for behind Smith and
Firth; Williams end Sidford did very good papers.
In the lower school Samways, Hackett, ant Wallis IL
acquitted themselves very creditably. The spelling
was all through the school decidedly above Mae
average, and in the upper school • mile-spelt word
was very rare. The weakest point was the parsing and
the lad piece of =Wye's. When I say that all through
nearly two hundred papers I did not come across •
single blot or • single Illegible word I think there is Lttle
need of any comment on the general neatness of the

PV•sEngliah History papers were examined by the
Rev. C. L. Sanctuary, M.A. The answers were
nearly always intelligent and the questions well under-
stood. The handwriting, almost without exception,
was very dear and the quetions neatly written.
There was a little bad spelling, hot confined to three
or four boys. A few boys, as Soul 1., Wingate 1„
Lbritnni, and Snith 1., also did good answers to the
more difficult questions in both parts of the paper.
The special period, however, seemed to be but imper-
fectly known, except Soon I. Exception should be
made in the case of one question, asking for a
genealogical tree, for which e'even boys obtained full
marks. Scutt 1., gangways, Wingate 1., Frith. Sher-
land i., Latham, and Williams did papers deserving of
high praise.
The Greek and Remus History papers were also
examined by the Rev. C. L. Sanctuary. Considering
no Greek history has been tenni t in the school sines
Easter, the questions were answered with tolerable
success. The Roman history Was done decidedly well.
Evidently the subjen has been very carefully taught.
Many of the answers bristle with faes, which are well
put together. Smith 1., Firth, who writes a
thoughtful answer, in good style, on the causes of the
political weakness ot Gr,eoe, and Scutt I. are the best,
Sharland I. not being very far brbind them.
In Divinity the examiner was the ROT. J. T.
Vaudrey, M.A., Vicar of Oemingtun. The papers
were very creditable as • whole, special praise being
given to Scutt and Firth in lith Form, and dm:away' in
the 3rd.
Herr C. F. W. Hewes, M.E., who examined in
French (Gars I.) and Science, congratulated the
school on the general result. Th-re had been a lane
amount of good and honest work, which reflected great
credit upon the boys, their masters and their school.
In Latin (Form 111. and II.), the examiner was
Mr. E. W. Clark, lit, 8.A., of London University,
who awarded special praise to Hackett, Galpin,
Weatherdon I. and Tudor J.
The Rev. C. L. Sanctuary reporting on his examine
tion in Greek said the Greek testament paper gives
proof of careful teaching, evidently made difficult by
the very wide distanoe in standard of sohoolship
betwesn different members of the clam. In transla-
tion Wingate 1. and Smith I. did well ; Firth did
fairly. The rest fe I far behind. The question was
very fairly done, the best being three on the subject
matter. Smith i., Wingate 1., did good answera on the
characterietics of Bt. Mark'. Gospel. In the
Greek Gramener the mark, show that the Greek
grammar paper was not very successfully done. The
vied one was decidedly better. Smith did best,
answering with readiness and for the most part with
accuracy. Wingate, too, did fairly. Smith offered
a few chapters of Herodotus for examination, and
seemed to have mestere I them thoroaddy. The
answers in both papers were neatly net down by all
alike.
The Rev. H. Roe (Rector of Poyntington) read his
own report on Arithmetic, Algebra, Euclid, Music,
and Geography. Before doing so he took occasion to
urge upon the boys who were present, and through
them, the whole middle case of Dorset, the great
importance of theiretriving to their very utmost to main-
tain middle-class education throughout the country He
would give them his reasons. A great effort ir being made
at the present time to raise the education of the lower
orders and the working people, so that tuner the
mid ile claire' took care of themselves very soon they
would be outstripped by those he'ow them. He might
ray that in the Parliamentary paper presented last
night, it was shown that not only did the National
and British Schools stand well, but preeminently
welL Both in reading and in writing they stand first
throughout England, which is a proud poetical, and
be wanted the middle-class boys to stand equally high
with the boys and girls of the working class schools.
(Hear, hear.) The rev, gentleman then read his
reports, of which the following are important extracts:
—" Speaking generally, I moat again record my con-
viction that then has been considerable progress made
in the past twelve month'. Not that any two or three
pupils have shone out with especial brilliancy, for this
would have been no evidence of the real quality of the
work dope in the school; but there is an entire
absence on the one hand of glaringly bad papers, and
plain, honest, solid work characterises the bulk of the
answers I have looked over. As in former years, the
writing is still good, and the spelling remarkably free
from mistakes; the napery are neatly turned out;
common sense exercises • protecting care over most
minds to preserve them from migundentanding the
questions; industry comes in aid of other good qualities
to secure fulness to the utmost extent of each one's
ability; and the" business spirit," which is evidently
much fostered among the boys, betrays it. presence
in the van majority of the papers with an eernestnees
which at times sr mid be laughable if it were not so
provokingly serious. Mental Arithmetic. —Thine
quenions were stet (five more the) in former years),
and the time allowed was one minute each question,
the tims actually taken bring little over half-a-minute
a question. Out of 20 boys in Division 1., notes" than
15 gave c mrect answers to more than half the quer.
lions ; one boy, only 19 years old, giving 26 correct
answer', and the whole 15 averaging 20 correct
answers apiece. This is an excellent result. Arith-
metic (Paper) —The ordinary paper work on arith-
metic was well up to the standard of former years.
I am very well satisfiedlicen the whole with the
p ‘pers on this ',object. ben—lt is matter fog
sincere congratulation to bud that the subject'
c mahouts to keep so high a place in the syllabus of the
Dorset County School. Euclid.—The reasoning in
the several demonstrations were essentially clear and
correct. Mosic.—The answers give proof of very care-
ful instruction, for nearly two-t Uris of the boys in the
upper division moored decidedly above half marks. I
most admit that there was much that was substantial
and good in most of the papers."
The Hun Meerut said he should be very brief in the
observations he bad to make The report, read by the
examiners spoke for themselves av to the work done in
the reboot, and they contained a sufficient amount of
criticism to show these they were vary honest. They

to do soup thing better one year than they had done in
the Previous year. The Headmaster then mentioned one
or two names of those who had shown they tat derived
some benefit by working there. They were glad to °tonne

he also notified that during the year two old nil tee, W. C.

of the Kingdom, and they represent thousands of
people. It seemed • great pity they should see • deserted
town, and he hoped the tradesmen will leave open their
shops, and decorate as much as possible.—Mr. Lundie :
Your suggestion is, your Worship, that the tradesmen,
in closing their shop-doors, should leave the shutters
down.—The Mayor : I don't cue whither they close the
doors or not. I think it is • great mistake to shut up
on Bank Holiday; It has been made a nuisance there-
by, for people coming into the town say they don't
know where to go.—Mr. bundle : l'm afraid your
Worship won't be very popular with the young people
who assist if you propose to keep the sops open.—
The Mayor would rsthfr elms them three days at any
other time than on Bank Holiday.
TRAMP IN AN ESPLANADICHAIR.—ThoMae Johnson,
a tramp, described as of Moreton, was br,ught an on
Tuesday, before the Mayor, with W. Talbot, Esq.,
and Dr. Drew, charged with bagging, on the list.—
P.O. Sullen saw him begging at night on the Bridge,
and brought him to the police-station, where he was
very violent. —The swan-keeper, Brewer, in the morn-
ing had seen him sitting in a chair on the Esplanade,
and ordered him off; but he refused to go, and wanted
to know "what odds" it was to hlm.—Prisoner
sulkily said he supposed anybody might sit on the
Esplanade chairs, and he sat there to eat • bit of
bread. Didn't know many people here, 'sposed he
knew somebody at hiarekaL—The Mayor mid the
poorest person could sit in • chair ; but if people were
t go there to eat their food, there would not be room
for those who walked the Replana's. The proper
place for those who had food to eat was the beach
or aands.—Priaoner had been staying here a few weeks,
but could not prove anything satisfactory of himself,
and for beget( WM sent for 21 days' hard labour.
DISHONNST YOUNG COUNTRY GlLL—Mary
was brought up again charged with robbing her
mistress. Her mother now attended, after the girl had
waited some time in expectation, anUredneed lettere,
among them one from the Rev. • Collinson, of
Woodaford, who stated this was the first time any of
the family had been in trouble before the magistrates.
She bad seen Mr. C 0116600, who would do his best to
get a kind lady to take her, and meantime she could
star with • friend of the mother's until she got • place.
—The Bench asked the girl wlist she had to say, and
she, weeping, replied that she was very sorry-4'k.oMayor said such sorrow was often not lasting; here

been put into a plaos of trust, and had betrayed that
trust, and stolen even such things as • diva/ mwd-eatie,
for which she had no earthly use, therefore she knew
the was • thief. The 'nether had also rendered herself
liable, for receiving the goods. If they sent the girl
to Dorchester gaol to consort with criminals, she would
be most probably • ruined girl in every sense. The
Rev. W. Collinson had promised to be responsible foe
her, and to do his beet to get her • good place. The
mother must take her and do her beet for her, and let
her listen to what that good clergyman said. nay

Req.—His Worship said he had to perform a very
pleasing duty—to distribute the prises to those who
had won them. He was sure they had well won them,
and he must express his satisfaction at the show itself
and the flowers there exhibited. He was apecially

Millie? OF STROLLING ITALIAN/I—Last Saturday •
party of Italia. a were brought up before W. Talbot,
Esq., J. Lundie, Esq., and J. Milledge, Esq. They
consisted of a young man named Dadra Cervi, and
two girls suppeed to b 3 about 11 and 12 years, named
Philomel Carol, and Teresa Curl, the latter being
rather pretty in the Italian style, while Philomel was
exceedingly Orrin for a girl of regular features, having
a lour forolsoad ...I a saag Lair. The masa
was charged with canting there children to wander
about the streets begging, and the children were
charged with dancing and begging. Guiseppe
Massarello was sworn as intrepreter.—The party had
come originally from Terra di Lavoro, in the old king-
dom of Naples, and about 40 miles from Naples itself,
had passed through France, slaying a c onslierable
time in Pixie, where they lived at Rue Cherche•Midi,
thence to the coast and across to Southampton, where
Draxio Bays he became separated from the mother of
himself and Teresa, and they came down here with
Philomel, who was a cousin, and whose parent had
been left in Paris—The Weymouth Police complained
of the party that the man was lodging at the Fisher-
man's Arms, a tramps' lodging-house, whence he
sent out the children to dance, sing, and beg, in
opposition to the orders of the Superintendent, who
would not grant them percuis.ion to do so in \Vey.
month. While he was away from the station, they
made another application, end received temporary
permission from Mr. Charles Vickery, but this was
revoked on the Superintendent hearing of it. They,
however, continued dancing and begging in defianoe
of the order, and were arrested, and when in the
cells used filthy language to the police, and told the
female searcher they would cut her throat, and it was
added, though they could not talk in English, they
could swear therein. There was • suspicion that the
man stayed at home and lived on their begging, and
he had first said they were both his sitters, though be
now said Philomel was his cousin. The interpreter,
however, said they called such relations sister in his
country.--Sergt. Away said yesterday afternoon, he WAS
on duty in front ot Johnstone-row, and saw the e'der
girl dancing about on the E.plauade, and after that
y went about be,ging. He ordered them to go,
they would not, and he bar to put (rem off. Si, c

stop it. The man lodged at the Fisherman's Arms.—
P.C. ltead saki about lialfmrd two, he was on duty in
Wesley-street, when the younger one was playing the
concertina and dancing. He told her she must not
dance there, she took out a paper and said she had
permission, and refused to go away.—Supt. Vickery
said he had forbidden the girls dancing, but after,

drew as soon as he heard of it.—P.O. Sullen proved
apprehending the male prisoner at the Fishermen's
Anus. The girls swore at the police, and the man
used no means to keep them quiet. On them he
found Gs. oi I. in English money, besides foreign coins.
Had made enquiries and found the man did
not go out, for three weeks, but sent the
girls out, and they came home at night with money.
P.C. Stickland saw Philomel in Ring-street play-
ing an accordion and begging from door to door.
—Mrs. Eliza Perry, the female searcher, found 2s. 84d.
on Teresa, and Is. 2ed. on PhilomeL She asked
them if they had any more, and they replied that they
had not,—Eletzio, tkronih the interpreter, said be heti

in Paris,, set as mode for an artist, and in the
lodging house the two girls had a room to themselves
next to the landlord. Three weeks ago his accordion
was broken, and be could not mend it himself. He
came to England, because he had nothing to live on
there. He had played first on the accordion, but
lat -ly had not, and stayed here on 41. he had got
before. He could do nothing, and his sister and
cousin, who could not get permeation to play, went to
Portland, and played at gentlemen's houses. He
could not go sway from the town, becalm he had no
money to keep his sister.—The magistrates' clerk
said Drasio was not a fit person to have charge of
these children, the Beach would take care of them,
and they would probably be sent back to their own
country.—Drario said if they would send Philomel
back (she was very plain-looking) and let his sister
(who was very pretty) remain with him, he would
find work and keep her.—Dralio was dismissed, on
promise of giving the children's mothers' addreues,
the children to be kept until Wednesday. when the
Bench would decide where to send them.—They were
put into a cell.
