How DO THEY LIVI7—" Half the world knows not
how the other half lives," and, se a pnWio officer re-
marked the other day, It is quite a mystery, how those
n,en and women that hang about our police and other
courts from day to day, can earn Muir living. If there
is only so much aa • drunken man up to have the fine
" drunkard's crown," them persons are lore to be in
3tteedance. Our magistrates, run with the long list
that has been added to the couiroisaion, can scarcely
tea time from their occupations to have the meetings
at • regular hour ; but theseother quidnunc., to whom
we have alluded, are away@ patiently waiting till the
magistrates come, and can stand out the longest trial.

Slates or NalltoW FSICAPIts.- A little after six on
Monday evening, a small pony and waggon loaded with
a couple of barrels and belonging to Mr. Shatter, of
'ottington, were coming up St. Mary•street. Before
reaching the shop of Mr. Rabbets, butcher, the animal
toidi fright, and, escaping (rune the control of its driver,
dragged the waggon against • heap of paving stones by
the side of the road. The brichpin came off, and the
animal, still wire frightened. dashed the vehicle against
&nutter heap containing curb stoney. One of these wee
dragged uvula yard.s till it met the curb near Mr. .
Vineent's corner, sod it mimed likely the pony and
waggon would base dashed through the costly steak of
jewellery in the window. But the stone it had dragged
with it wised the wheel to glance off. It then turned
the corner and went down Conypx-Isae, at a great pees,
passing la an astonishing manner between • crate of
crockery and Mr. Hood's window without damaging
either. As the waggon jumped up and down, the pace
was aecelerated, and next the pony scattered • swarm of
'children in all directions without hurting one. The
`people rushed after it, expecting it to go into the Backs
eater; but it turned towards the railway station, and
was brought up on the tramway in Commerciatroad.
The waggon was here mended in • short time, but
driver and pony went home lame.

Tare TO DLTONSHIRZ.—The welliappointed steam- I
boat Cygnus, of the Weymouth and Cbannel Islands I
Stearmecket Compeny's UDC made in excursion to I
Torquay and Dartmouth on Monday Inst. About 200 I
were glad to avail theruseleee of this =rot favourable
opportunity for visiting Devonshire with ease, cheap
nem, and great comfort, and the excursion was much
enjoyed. A passenger taTs : A more lovely trip it has
seldom been our lot to copy. The run down was made
by 12.20., and, leaving Torquay at two o'clock, the
mouth of the river Dart, called by some the English
Rhine, was reached at 250. We returned from Dart-
mouth at 4.10, and called at Torquay at 5.5. The
voyage home was quito equal in speed to that of the
morning. Having left at 5.45, we arrived in Wey-
mouth harbour at 10.15. Every one on board nand
thoroughly to enjoy the day's outing ; the scenery and
corm caning in for their share of admirer A bountiful
supply of creature comforts was provided on board at
really moderate charges, and this with the courtesy a
the captain, the excellent appointments of the ibis., and •
her speed, al evidenced in the times given above, helped
te make this trip one of the beat of the season.
FOOT Recs. —A friendly match was got up last week
between the Royal Engineers and the 51st K.0.L.1.. to
find out who boasted the swiftest of foot. The
Eagleson were confident in their champion, Sapper
Tinier, while the Slit selected ea their man Private
France. Cl were to be the stakes, and the race wan
Steil for Saturday evening, on the Preston road.
Neither man appear. to have undergone training, the
nonpations of military life precluding each • discipline ;
but or all that, great interest was manifested in the
watch, and good numbers of military men assembled
item the toll gate. Betting was about even, and some
pounds were bid; brit it appears that Turner was the
favourite, as nine of his friends the Engineer* could
not get their offers taken. The distance, Irk yards, was
rinly meaeured oil, and an umpire appointed. France,
who is rather • stouter man than T , stripped him-
alf to real gymnastic costume ; but the sapper's sense
of deccruni caused him to retain nearly all his clothes,
or perhaps he was • little too cocksure. About Leif.
poet 'ix ti ca-Pal start wan made, and Turner bounded
Aightly ahead for the first hundred yang. when his imi
pedietenht checked hits, and the robust form of Franco
drew itt advance. For the neat 50 yard. it win • close
struggle; hut Franca succeeded in thrusting himeelf to
front, and he won by a "thickness," C 4 that is to my,
his beak was just about level with Turner'. cheat—
about 18 inches in front. The bankers of Turner, bow'
'over, wen not much dispirited, and freely offered to
.eupport him for a roe of 75 yards. and, the officers per-
mitting, the match will come eiff soon. The interest
nail good teeing showed about this trilling affair prove
that if some athletic sports were got up and pris s
given by the gentry, there re enough mettle and esprit
in corps among the two companies out of which our
atrison is formed, to afford the visitors capital sport.
THE DItOWNZD tioLDlettit.—Tbe Palestine pilot boat,
immuranded by Mr. Smith, was cruieing eiff Portland on
Monday afternoon, and abont halfipant three we, about
15 miles to the StE., when something Wane was ,
descried floating in the water. On Mr. Smith's making
for it, lee diecovered it to be the dead body of a teas,
lying fiat on his back on the water, as if he had died in
the attempt to keep up by floating on his back. It had
on shirt, braces, trousers, and boots. There wee • man
of jet black hair by the head, but the whiskers
and beard, if there had been any, were gone.
The corp e we, in a state of decomposition air far
advance d that it scarcely held together, and She

blowing a freele W.S. W. wind at the time, and Mr.
••tb, &riling that, the boly would not bear towing,
after one or two unsucemodel attempts to bring it to
bring it to port, allowed it to fiord away. The corn is
antipomil to be that of uncut the unfortunate soldiers
who were ciroweter by the upsetting of Baker's boat. It
is probable lie had taken off his tunic to float better,
anal bad become tabulated and thus died. The trousers
were then of the regiment, and, the man being rent-
tatted by Mr. Smith to be tall in appeannee, is believed
by the Provost-sergeant to have been Rena.
Clieerst ABSOCIaTIO2I.—A lecture was delivered
in the National Schoolroom, Melcombe Resin, on
Friday evening last by the Rev. a 11. Coneannon, on
The Glijeci and Mariner of Christine Worship in the
Church of England." There wa4 a fair attendance, and
the chair was taken by R. if. Eliot, Esq., supported on .
the platform by the Revs. Ground and Welker. The
respected recur, Rev. T. Greases, wan too unwell to
bo preacnt, and the Chairman apologised for his absence
es that ground. The object of the Society in "To
uphold the pi inciples and Order of the United Church
of England and Ireland, and to counteract the efforts
now being made to mein-ants her services to those of
tie Church of Koine." Mr. Eliot stated that Mr. limy's
had asked hint to take hie piece that evening, and et-
pl.ined that, thole+ in Weymouth • certain amount of
support h been giv.n to the eneiety for two or three
years, yet he trusted they would increase that support,
for tbe efforts which the tiniery oppoaed had shown no
sign of diminution, and it therefore became them to con-
fine their auppirt. Ile excumd himself from eating

to float • boat in human blood, and the devotee of
Jar/prawn to throes himself under the nor. Bat, he
went on to show, proper worship must b • addressed to

Revelation. All Nature is • revelation, but an
tint one, and therefore they must 'earth the written
word for the trueubject of worship. That word showed
that God it a spirit, and therefore the worship rendered

the spirit of the worshipper, end must be cognate of
