HARIVIAT,—The weather for the put week has,
although broken, been tolerably fair for agrieulturel put,
onus. The actual mummer quarter is feat drawing to a
Ida', but hers In Dublin we have not yet got beyond the
temperature of early eprunt. The wind blows pretty
steadily from the oortlpwest, and the mornings and
evenings are as shiny as they might be in the month of
April. In feet, never WS/ prophesy mom false than that
whleh foretold that the summer of 101 wee to bit the
hottest within the memory of nom—that 'stile were to
be oonsuuted to the fleld by the foils of the sun'e rye,
1111 d so forth. Nothing of the kind Imo yet °must° pass;
and autumn rapidly apprimehing. Nevertheless, the
country Is getting on very well without this unnatural
heat, and every report from the protiums speaks
favourably of the appeanutos of the grain crops and of
the promise of so saly harvest. As rsgerda the soot
of the weather, Dublin Is quite otttrlvalled by the Male
of the temperature In Cork.

WIMBORNE.

_
NATIONAL SHOOLO.—On Sunday lest 'moons
were preached in aid of our National School, the
funds of whieh have re somewhat low, In the
morning the Rev. William Heathoote, vicar of Stu!,
minster Marshall (late Precentor of Salisbury
Cathedral), preeched an eloquent appeal from Mat-
thew xviii. 14 I—" Even so it is not the will of your
Father which is in Heaven that one of these little
ones should perish." Allusion vu made by the rev.
clergyman to the three regular collections made at
the Minster for the arrears of the repair hind, but
he urged them not to allow one good Object to preju-
dice another equally important. A oollection of
£7 19s. wee afterwards made. In the afternoon the
same cause was beautifully and touchingly advocated
by the Rev. Henry Good, LL.B., from the text
"The poor have the Gospel preached unto them.'
In the eouree of his address it was stated that out of
3,000 children taught since 1849 at this school, only
six had been charged with crime. In the evening
the Rev. Charles Onslow preached from Isaiah
iodic. 11, 12:—' And the vision of all is become
unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which
men deliver to one that is learned, shying 'Read
this, 1 pray thee and he with '1 ounot, br it is
sealed.' And the book is delivered IA: him that is
not learned, saying, ' Read this, I pray thee.,;' and he
sadh 'I am not learned."' The rev, preacher en-
forced the nemesity of grounding the education of'
their schools on Gospel teaching. He also remarked
that there were now 200 children at the :school who.
paid only one penny a week, realizing 45. per year,,
whereas the real cost of each child's teaching vies at
least, Os.; also on the difficulty of obtaining the. an
-
noel subscriptions. The total amount of the collection.
was £9 lbe. There is no disguising the feet that
the regular collections, three times every Sabbath
tend to thin the congregation very considerably.
FINE AT LYTCHETT MINATZR.—About half-past 12
at noon on Saturday a strew rick, belonging to Mr.
Frederick Styring, brewer of Poole, was discovered
to be on tire. A workman in the field where the
rick was situated, named Thomas Marsh, discovered
the tire, but the straw was nearly all consumed. The
value of the rick was £3.

STURMINSTEE NEWTON.
CHURCH VESTRY. —During the past week an in-
portent vestry hu been held, for e purpose of con-
sidering the most desirable way of enlarging the
pariah churchyard, it being so full as to render it
quite necessary some steps should be taken to en-
large it. The proposition laid before the meeting
by the vicar and church wardeua, was to throw in a
part of the vicarage lawn, in one direction, and in
the other to purchase some cottages in the occupa-
tion of Ridout and Rose, thereby enlarging the mai
churchyard about one.half. After some &bum:ion,
the proposition was unanimously accepted by the
meeting. At the same vestry a church rate o fiat in
the pound, for the necessary repairs of the °Alvah,
only for the current year was granted.

PROSECUTION OF THR MATO PRIESTS—The argu-
ments in the case of "The Queens'. Conway" were con-
cluded on Wednesday, but the Court has postponed
judgment to obviate an objection raised by Mr. Con-
way with respect to the hardship of having to bring his
witnesses to Dublin in the event of a change of venue.
Mr. Lawson, for the Crown, offered to defray all expenses
that might be incurred by such change.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF A PRIEST.—A fero-
cious attack (says the Newry Examiner) was made by a
limn named M'Ardle, who recently returned from
Australia, on the parish priest of Castleblaney, the Rev.
Mr. M'Meele. M'Ardle was armed with a butcher's
knife. The Rev, gentleman, in warding off the blows
with a stick, received severe injuries. M'Ardle appeared
to be drunk.

LAw APPOINTMENT.—Mr. Richard Deasy, Q.C., and
M.P. for the county of Cork, has been appointed third
oedema in the room of Serjeant O'Brien, promoted to
the vacant seat on the bench in the Court of Queen's
Bench, caused by the death of Mr. Justice MOOTS.
TRH SCOTCH IN IRELAND—The Tipperary Free
Pres,' mentions that a Scotch Piotestant gentleman (Mr.
Paul Aitohieon), who has been a resident in that quarter
for some five years past, has won Fohlen opinions by his
conduct as an employer :—" Having had a fifteen-acre
turnip field to plough for spring wheat, the farmers of
the surrounding district sent their horses and ploughs
on Friday last, and in six hours the entire ground was
excellently turned up. Nothing could exceed the
alacrity and good humour evinced by the ferment' eons
in thus obliging Mr. Aitchison, and they vied with each
other as to which would do hia part best."

EAST INDIA HOUSE.

A special general court of the East India Company
was held on Wednesday by adjournment at their House
in Leadenhall-street, for the purpose of continuing the
consideration of the followin„, proposed resolution :
"That the proposed transfer o f the governing powers of
the East India Company to the Crown is opposed to the
rights and privileges of the East India Company, is
fraught with danger to the constitutional interests of
England, is perilous to the safety of our Indian Empire,
and calls for the resistance of the corporation by all con-
stitutional means." The Chairman said that he had to
inform the Court that the Court of Directors had re-
ceived from Her Majesty's Government an answer to
the communication addressed to them. The following
letter was then read by the Secretary :
„ "94, Piccadilly, Jan. 18.

"Gentlemen,—l have had the honour of receiving
your joint letter of the 31st of December upon the sub-
ject of the measure which it is the intention of Her
Majesty's Government to propose with reference to the
future system to be established for the government of
India; and I beg to assure you that the observations
and opinions which you have therein expressed will be
duly considered by Her Majesty's Government.
"I forbear from entering at present into any examina-
tion of those observations and opinions—first, because
any correspondence with you on such matters would be
most conveniently carried on through the usual official
channel of the President of the India Board; and,
secondly, because the grounds on which the intentions of
Her Majesty's Government have been formed, and the
detailed arrangements of the measure which they mean
to propose, will best be explained when that measure
shall be submitted to the consideration of Parliament.

"I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient
servant,
" PALIMPATON.

-
" R. D. Mangles, Esq.,
"Sir Frederick Come, Az."
The Chairman informed the Court that the Court of
Directors had prepared a petition to Parliament against
the measures proposed by the Government, which should
be read. The document was read. A discussion then
ensued, which, however, was again adjourned to Wed-
nesday (to-morrow.)

A sergeant of the 23rd Welsh Fusileers, who wore a
Crimean medal and three clasps, was publicly degraded,
by being reduced to the rank of a private at Chatham
last week, for being drunk whilst on duty: hitherto he
had borne a very exemplary character.
Aldershott is becoming the penitentiary of the Militia.

Orders have been received at Devonport to put in
commission the screw steamship Exmouth, 90, as a

Captain Robert S. Robinson, which is to be fitted for a

in lieu of the Conway, 14, Captain John H. N. Bodd.
Within the last ten days 3.50 of the Staffordshire

Her Majesty's state yacht Victoria and Albert, Cap-
tain the Hon. Joseph Denman, is nearly ready to re-
ceive her crew, who will turn over to her this day
(Tuesday.) It is not expected that the Royal marriage
flotilla will leave Portsmouth for Gravesend before the
end of the month. Every " available " vessel that can
be spared will be sent to the rendezvous off Gravesend,
so as to make the Royal embarcation as imposing a
spectacle as may be under the circumstances.
On Monday morning week volunteering commenced
from the Royal North Lincoln and the 2nd West York
Regiments of Light Infantry Militia for the line. There
were many willing, but few chosen, owing to the diffi-
culty of "passing the doctor." The following is the
result :—Royal North Lincoln—For the Ist Dragoon
Guards, 1; 4th Foot, 1; 60th Rifles, 33; Rifle Brigade,
20; Royal Marines, 8; Coldstream Guards, 5; Royal
Engineers, 5; Royal Artillery, 2. 2nd West York—
For the sth Dragoon Guards, 2; 60th Rifles, 11; Royal
Engineers, 1. Totals—North Lincoln, 64; West York,

THE LEVIATHAN.—On Saturday a further advance
was made upon the position of thehig ship, and she was
slowly moved about 8 feet nearer to the ends of the
launching ways At first she moved with great ease,
but towards the close of the day a Censiderable pressure
had to be applied, owing to the iceemiilation of half-
frosen mud upon the ways. There was an unusual at-
tendance of Royal and distinguished visitors, including
Air Belgian Ptiseserthfratietie-Bitimet Skdotilhe Comte
Is Flanctres. tater lb the diralso The PrtisaPrinces
paid a visit to the yard, and not only inspected the
launching apparatus, but went on board and over every
part of the monstrous hull, which is now at every tide
surrounded with water to a considerable depth. It is
not expected that she will float before the 30th or 31st.
THE ATTACK ON THE ENPEROE.—It HI reported that
a gentleman of good property residing in Glastonbury,
who has not long come of age, and at whose house
Orsini, the Italian refugee (whose name is mentioned in
connection with the late attempt on the French Em-
peror's life), recently visited, has been arrested under a
Secretary of State's warrant. We (Bristol Times) have
heard the name, but abstain from giving it, in the ab-
sence of • confirmation of the report.

A bull-fight for the benefit of the families who suf-
fered from the fever took place at Lisbon .recently, and
has been much criticized, in consequence of having had
the unusual patronage of two English gentlemen who
figurvd as its chief promoters. It was not countenanced
by the embassy or the English residents in Lisbon, who
were naturally anxious to avoid being identified with so
objectionable a mode of promoting a charitable ob-
ject.

AUSTRALIA.

A correspondent says—" At Melbourne and its sub-
urbs, it is true that • temporary glut of labour exists ;
but this is no criterion of the state of Victoria or either
of the other colonies, and occurs periodically, from the
circumstances that emigrants generally select Melbourne
as the port of disembarkation, and pertinaciously cling
to the city in the hopes of securing local occupation ;
added to which, the men resolutely refuse to accept
offers of work below the current rate of high wages, and
at short hours. This alone proves there is no overabun-
dance of available labour in Melbourne itself; whereas
in the different distant towns of Victoria it is notorious
that labour is readily absorbed, and if the unemployed
in the capital and porta could be induced to go to the
gold diggings and stations in the interior they would
find full occupation. Respecting the other colonies of
New South Wales, South Adelaide, and New Zealand,
the state of things is even more clear, inasmuch that the
local governments of each of these provinces are remitt-
ing large sums of money to Europe to encourage emi-
gration, and thereby provide the labour which is so
much required. Looking, however, at the two colonies
of Victoria and South Australia, which are the most
productive of the staple commodities of gold and grain,
and without considering their supply of copper, wool,
, hides, oils, &a., these two would rapidly absorb the
whole mining population of Cornwall and Devon, as
well as the surplus agricultural labour of this country,
and afford constant and lucrative employment for all.
At present, the great yield of gold from the different
mines of Victoria, and the equally rich copper mines of
South Australia, are chiefly produced by men previously
unconnected with mining. The classes most wanted in
these colonies are experienced miners and practised
agriculturists, with the usual trades dependant on those
interests." . .

The report of the Australian Agricultural Company,
issued preparatory to their meeting on the lot of Feb-
ruary, presents the accounts of the undertaking in the
amended form lately resolved upon. The statements
regarding the net profits of the Newcastle Colliery up to
September last are very satisfactory, and there is also a
prospect of improvement in the land sales. The suns at
present available in London is £31,085, and a dividend
is suggested of El per share, which will absorb
The Port Philip and Colonial Gold Company have
also issued a report preparatory to their meeting on the
26th. The operations of the company have lately been
confined to quartz-crushing for the miners at a fixed
rate, and a long correspondence is given to show the
results of an experiment at the Clunes mining ground
which appears thus far to have been favourable.

CORN EXCHANGE.

FRIDAY, JAN. 22.—Since Monday, and fresh up to-
day—coastwise and by land carriage—the receipts of
home-grown wheat have been on • very limited scale,
The demand, however, for all kinds still rule heavy, at
prioes barely equal to Monday's currency. Over 9,000
quarters of foreign wheat have come fresh to hand.
Even the finest samples moved off heavily, at barely
previous rates. We had • dull inquiry for both barley
and malt, at Monday's quotations. The supply of oats
was very moderate. On the whole, the oat trade ruled
steady, at full prices. No change took place in the
vane of either beans or peas. The flour trade ruled
heavy, and country marke were lower to purchase.

HORNIMAN AND Co.'s PURE TEA,
THE USUAL FINE SORTS, BUT THE LEAF
NOT COVERED WITH COLOUR.

Rich full-flavoured Tea of rare strength in thus
secured ; for by not admitting the different qualities to
be coloured alike with the usual purpose, the brown
flavourless leaves of the autumn gathering cannot be
made by the Chinese to resemble the valuable spring
sorts, and so passed off at high rates, to the loss of the
English consumer. The Lancet Report, page 318 states
of Horniman's importations :—These Teas are whole-
some, the Black has not an intensely dark leaf; the
Green is a true dull olive not being 'fared" with the
prevailing bluish " powder." For Richness, Strength,
and Choice Flavour they exceed the sortenerally sold.
Supplied by Agents throughout the Kingdom and only
in PACKETS. Price, 3s. Bd.; 4s. , and 4s. 44

LORD-LIEUTENANCY OF DOMFRIESSHIRE.—We have
authority for stating that, in consequence of Lord Pal-
merston having declined to acknowledge the Marquis
of Queensberry 's claims to be made a British peer, his
lordship has resigned the Lord-Lieutenancy of the
county.
In Edinburgh it has been resolved to celebrate the
marriage of the Princess Royal by a public banquet in
the Parliament House on Monday afternoon. The
Commander of the Forces, the Lord President, and the
judges have promised to attend. The writers to the
signet, the Merchant Company, and the Chamber of
Commerce have been communicated with, and no doubt
is entertained that a very large company will assemble.
Nearly a thousand pounds have already been sub-
cribed towards the proposed monument at Ayr to the
late General Nell.

LUNACY AND SCOTCH BANKING.—An application,
under the recent Lunacy Act, was presented to the
sheriff, on Saturday, by a respectable looking man, for
authority, in terms of the Act, to receive into and
detain his wife in a lunatic asylum, she being described
by some physicians, who certified to her condition, as
frantic, and a dangerous lunatic. To the query in the
schedule as to the supposed cause of her insanity, the
answer was, "the failure of the Western Bank."

Vampobire.

Subscriptions are getting up in Southampton to
provide the necessitous poor there with tea, coals,
and sugar, and nearly 6,000 school children with tea
and cake, as one way of celebrating the marriage of
the Princess Royal, on Monday. Excursion trains
will run on Sunday night and Monday morning from
Southampton to London, to enable eight-seers to
witness the preparations for the marriage ceremony.
The banquet to be given by the Mayor of South-
ampton in honour of tho royal wedding will be held
at the Royal York Hotel. The magistrates, the
municipal councillors, and others have been invited.
A ball, also given by the Mayor, on Monday, is to be
held at the Royal Victoria Rooms, and will be at-
tended by about 600 of the inhabitants of the town.
ROMBEY. —Sudden Death under S uepicirrus Circum-
stances. —A child, named Fielder, who resided in
Newton-lane, complained of sickness on the 11th
inst., which symptoms continued, though with little
purging, till five the same evening, when it became
elisions. At nine o'clock she died, despite
incessant medical attendance. After death her body
having assumed a sort of lilac colour, the inference
was that she had been accidentally poisoned. A
coroner's inquest was held on Tuesday, and adjourned
to Thursday, with a view to a careful post mortem
examination, which has been made by Messrs. Taylor,
Wood, and Buckell, surgeons, without their arriving
at any satisfactory solution of the cause of so unusual
a death. Portions of the stomach have been sent
to Professor Taylor, of London, for analysis. The
inquest is again adjourned, pending his examination.
The existence of a local poisonous influence is sug-
gested from the fact that the sister-in-law of the
child died a week ago, with similar symptoms, and
the deceased had been a frequent inmate of the resi-
dence of the former victim.

WOOL MARKET.

There have been numerous inquiries for most kinds of
home-grown wool since our last report. They have not,
however, led to much business; still, as the manufactur-
ers hold unusually light stocks, a healthy trade is generally
anticipated. The supply of wool now is very moderate.

AMERICA.

HORRID SPECTACLE AT AN EXECUTlON.—Greenbary
0. Mullinix was executed at Green castle, Ind., on new
years-day for the murder of his wife. There was a
large attendance from the country, although the execu-
tion took place within the walls of the prison, and was
only witnessed by • few. The prisoner manifested the
utmost indifference and levity while preparations for
his execution were in progress. While the Sheriff was
adjusting the rope about the prisoner's neck, he laughed
and exclaimed, It's getting pretty tight, Bill." As
the drop fell, the rope -broke. Blindfolded and choked,
the prisoner still appeared to have reason and presence
of mini, and walked in the direction of the steps, as if
to reaacend the scaffold. A horrid sound, like the death
rattle, escaped from his mouth, which made many of
the innnethate spectators sicken and turn pale. In •
moment Mullinix w:a in the arms of men who held him
while the Sheriff tied the rope and then drew him up
from the ground, and thus the object of the law's ven-
geance soon passed from time into eternity.

VISIT or CALHOUN'S WIDOW TO HIS TOMB.—The
venerable widow of the immortal Calhoun visited the
tomb of her husband on Sunday, December 27, at St.
Philip's church, after the congregation had dispersed,
accompanied by one of the elder members of the church
and vestry and two ladled. The visit wu affecting—the
widow never having been in the city since the demise
of her illustrious husband—and her simple and unaf•
fected exclamation of " And is this the tomb of my
husband?' brought tears to the eyes of those who ac-
companied her, while her own were streaming with
recollections of the put, and a cheerful hope of a happy
meeting in the better land. From the grave-yard, the
widow then visited the statue at the City Hall, and,
after contemplating it in all its bearings, in melancholy
silence, pronounced it " • very good likeness."

CORFE CASTLE.

Accipinrr WHILE HurrriNo.—We regret to state
than an accident happened to Lord John Hay, by
falling off his horse while following the harriers with
J. C. Hadclyffe, Esq., and others, across our common,
on Monday last. At first fears were entertained
that his Lordship was more seriously injured, but
we understand that a fracture of the small bone
of the leg was the only injury he received. It ap-
pears that the horse was crossing a bog and sank
down, instantly crushing the rider's leg on touching
the ground. Lord John Hay was on a visit to
Rempstone Hall, the seat of J. H. Calcraft,Esq.,M.P.,
where he was immediately conveyed. The gallant
nobleman served in the Crimean war, and escaped
unhurt throughout; and we trust this " little incon-
venience," as he jocularly called it, will be but of
short duration, and that he may soon be enabled to
chase more formidable foes with greater success when
his valuable services may again be required.

JAPAN.

We have been shown a letter from E. R. Rice, United
States' Commercial Agent at Hakodady, to Captain
Tooker, of the Ontario, in which he communicates some
facts of interest. He writes under date of Sept. 10
" The Japanese are becoming leas exclusive. They now
furnish in abundance for ship's use, hogs, potatoes, ve-
getables of all kinds, and rice. By a new treaty, made
since you were here, Americans can reside here perma-
nently after the 4th of July, 1858. I have no doubt that
importations from the United States will be made soon,
as at certain seasons of the year such merchandise would
pay well. Americans residing here are subject only to
American laws. The treaty is in force so far as the Ja-
panese are concerned. They say, "Come, the more the
better." Mexican dollars only should be brought here.
All other kinds are nearly worthlesa—Honolulat Com-
mercial Advertiser.
