MURDEROUS ASSAULT OF A PoRTSII BE A PAUPER.—•
William Mania was charged with maliciously assaulting
Thomas Tutt, • porter at the Wilton Union Work-
house, on the previous Monday.—Mr. R. M. Wilson,
who appeared for the prothcution, stated that the pri-
soner had been guilty of misconduct for some time past.
He was taken before the Board of Guardians on the let
of October, and they ordered him to be punished in the
manner directed by the Poor Law Baird. After the
baker and porter had locked him up he created a great
ifidurbance, and kicked the door very violently. The
master then ordered that his boots should be taken off,
and whilst the baker and porter were in the act of re-
n wring them the prisoner assaulted the former with great
violence, and the Board then directed him to be sum-
moned before the magistrates. The summons was taken
out, and served upon him on the sth of October. The
master then ordered the prisoner to do the usual work,
and on his refusing, the porter was instructed to give
him nothing but bread and water. Tutt about twelve
o'clock on Monday took in his food, and without any
altercation whatever the prisoner struck him a violent
blow with a table-knife, which pierced his clothes, and
loiliothel a wound in his back. The Bench would be
enabled to judge of the force of the blow when they
beard the evidence of the porter. —Thomas Tutt was then
called, and, in answer to questions, he stated that about
• quarter to twelve he took some bread and water into
the ward in which Adams was confined. He was then
leaning against the door post. Witness said to him
"Adam.. here is your bread, and prisoner answered,
"put it down in its place." He then proceeded to put
it down on the table, and in order to do that he had to
pass the prisoner. After he had done so he felt a stab
in the back. He had observed previously that the
prisoner had a knife in his band. Witness instantly
turned roand,and the prisoner had then his arni uplifted,
and was in the act of dealing him another blow.
He knocked the knife out of his hand, and he ran into
the &el men's ward. The prisoner ran towards the lire-
place,and took up the poker. Witness threw the tray at
him, and armed himself with the tongs. The prisoner
then came towards him with the poker uplifted, and on
his seeing him with the tongs in him hand he deliberately
throw the poker at him. A struggle then ensued, and
eventually the master of the workhouse. Mr. Barnes,
came to his assistance, and the prisoner was locked up.
He did not do anything to provoke the prisoner.
Adams has been an inmate of the house for some time
past, but he heel never assaulted him before—The
pri..oner said the prosecutor had told • deliberate lie
about him to the Board of Guardians—Charles Randall,
an inmate, said he saw the prisoner endeavour to strike
the prosecutor with the poker.—Mr. Charles Nathaniel
McCaul, surgeon, said that he examined the prosecutor,
and he found that he had received •superficial wound on
the right side of the vine, about the middle of the
hack. It bled a little, but the wound was not serious.
The clothes the prosecutor wore at the time —a coat,
waistcoat, Guernsey, and shirt, were cut completely
through, and were produced in Court. —The prisoner,
on being called upon, said he should reserve his defence,
and the magistrates committed him for trial at the ;
ensuing sessions at Marlborough.

Esq., held an inquest at the Council Howe, on the
body of Mrs. Sandi Jordan, 79 years of age, the wile
of Mr. Law Jordan, tailor, Pomnyfaing-street,
who had expired suddenly on the previous evening.
It appeared from the evidence, that Mrs. Jordan
had suffered from ill-health for a long time past.
and on Monday she complained of giddiness. To-
wards the evening she fell down twice, but no par-
ticular notice was taken of it—nothing serious being
apprehended. At eight o'clock in the evening she
was sitting in her house with her husband, when
she suddenly fell forward and instantly expired. Mr.
, Winter, surgeon, was sent for, but his services were
of no avail, as death appeared to have been instan-
taneous. Before the coroner, Mr. Winner, gave it
, as his opinion that death had resulted from apoplexy,
and the jury returned a verdict of "Died by the
Visitation of God."

man, named William Rooke, wan charged with
stealing a knife, the property of Mr. Maoism,

been employed by the proeeoutor, and it appears
that on Saturday evening Rooks was in the City
Arms drinking. Mr. Thomas Cassey, son of the
landlord, asked whether either of the company
present could lend him a knife. The prisoner
handed him one, and seeing that it was of some
value, Mr. Camay inquired of him where he had
obtained it, to which be replied that he had made
it himself, roughly, and Mr. Menlo= had finished
it for him. Mr. Carey waesuspicious, and he sent
over for Mr. bleasham, who immediately claimed
the knife as his property, On the prisoner going
to his work on Monday morning Mr. Messham
accused him of the robbery, and he then admitted
having taken it. The prisoner was accordingly
given into the custody of the police.—The hon.
magistrate remanded the prisoner until Monday.
The earthquake on Tuesday morning was felt in
Salisbury and neighbourhood, but not so violently as
in other parts of the kingdom.

SAIMBURT DIOCZBAN aIIIIRCH BUILDING Anima.
TION. The quarterly meeting of the general committee
appointed to conduct the business of this asoxiation W &I
h. Id on Thursday, at the Board-room, in the Close, the
Van. Archdeacon Homy in the chair. There were also
present—The Rev. Subdean Eyre, Rev. Prebendary
Payne, Rev. Prebendary Morrie., Rev. T. Miles, and
the Reeds. C. Lawford and R. S. Hutchinp, the
Diocesan Seeretaries. The committee first considered
an application from the Rev. J. Mansfield, for aid to.
war& incremaing the accommodation in the parish
church of Blandford St. Mary, in the Arehdeaconry of
Dorset, and Rural Deanery of Whitchttreb, which at
pretreat is insufficient for the population. The principal
work proposed to be don* is the extension of the present
transept, so as to convert it into • north aisle, and the
removal of an unsightly gallery. The total oost is
estimated at £529, of which £761 has already been
provided. There were certain informalities in the
application papers, but notwithstanding this, the
committee decided to make • grant of Do. —Th.
next owe gone into was in riderenee to the erection

of • chapel of ease, at /type, a hamlet in the parish
of Symondsbury, in the same Arelideaconry, and
Rural Deanery of Bridpork The application was made
by the Rev. H. Rawlinion, the rector, on behalf of the
residents in the hamlet, who number about 550, and are
principally agricultural Labourers and fishermen living at
a distance of more than two miles from the parish
church, which bitter, moreover, is not capable of accom-
modating more than one-third of the entire population
1,352 persons). The proposed new church Is intended
to lest 300, namely, 260 adults and 40 children; and as
the whole of the sittings are to be free, the Board agreed
to a 1.-rant of £l5O. The total outlay is set dorm at
£2,560, of which £993 only has been raised—Applica-
tions were received from the Her. W. Bury for an
inspection by the diooesan architect of the parish church
of Pimperne, Dorset, with the view of an Increase of
accommodation, which was Mated to be very much
needed ; and also from the Rev. H. Ravenhill for an
inspection of the parish church of Buckland Newton, in
the same county, which requires restoration ; and, after
ordering payment of • grant of £lOO voted towards the
re-arrangement of the interior of North Bradley Cliure

PLOTLENT OF ADDITIONAL CETRATIS.—A meeting of
the subscribers and friends of this institution was held at
the Board-room, in the Close, on Thursday. The
meeting was convened by the Dioessen Secretary and
Treasurer (the Rev. Prebendary Lowther), for the
purpose of considering the propriety of empowering the
Diocesan Committee to make annual grants of money
towards the maintenance of additional clergymen in
those parishes within the diocese which shall appear to
be in need of such assistance. The association was
formed in the year 1838, by the late Bishop Denison,
and the Archdeacons and some of the principal clergy-
men and laymen of the diocese, and has continued
ever since to raise funds and transmit them to
the Parent Society in London' by whom all
, grants are dispensed. It appears that the contributions
, from the diocese last year amounted to the sum of
£374 Oa. 4,1., after deducting expenses, and that the
total grants made were £238, 'seated", Blandford Forum,
£5O; Tisbury Newtown. £2O; Salisbury, Saint Edmund,
£7ll ; Shaftesbury, Holy Trinity, with St. Peter, £2O;
Weymontli, Holy Trinity, £5O; sad Welratalth Saint
John, £4O. It appears NINO that when the association
was formed, it was resolved that the officers of the
Salisbury Diocesan Church Building Arai/Mien should
undertake the management of the Society, and it is now
thought worthy of oonsideration whether some plan
cannot be adopted to enable the Diocesan Committee to
dispense the funds railed in the diocese, or at any rate a
portion of them, in providing additional clergymen In
those parishes in need of such assistance, without, how-
ever, In any way prejudicing the Parent Society. A letter
was read from the Rev. A. Codd, of Beaminster, Dorset
(the Diocesan Organising Secretary), containing certain
suggestions on the subject. "Our object (he said) is
twolold—(a) To deal with the rants of our own diocese,
whose circumstances place us beyond the reach of the
parent society, dealing as it does professedly and rightly
with populous places: and (b) By appealing to the clergy
and laity of the disease immediately on behalf of our own
necessities to exhibit and draw forth a larger amount of
sympathy and support on behalf of the great and pressing
wants of the manufacturing districts, Sc. With the
view of securing this two-fold object, he suggested that
the parent society should be relieved from all case* within
the diocese where the population does not exceed 3,000,
or even 4,000; that one-third of the annual income of
the diocese shall be paid over at the end of the year
to the parent society, together with the proceeds of all
meetings and lectures, excepting only an annual one at
Salisbury, Dorchester, and Devises; that • Pastoral
Letter should be asked for every third year; that the
title of the society remain as at present, as •etting forth
the great object of Home Missions, only adding' Popu-
lous (and other) pleas needing help •'' and that the
offices of Diocesan Secretary and Organising Secretary
of the Parent Society be combined. He also suggested
that a Diocesan Treasurer should be appointed, and
local secretaries especially, one for each arehdeaoonty,
and that there should be an annual meeting for grants,
and three other quarterly meetings for special cases.—
Some conversation followed the reading of this letter;
but as only a few of the members of the committee
were able to remain, it was determined to postpone the
farther consideration of the subject to another meeting.
Mr. Woodin gave his amusing entertainment at the
Assembly Rooms on Wednesday, and notwithstanding
that the evening was very unfavourable the room was
crowded The various characters he delineated with
wonderful accuracy, and kept the audience in con-
tinual roars of laughter.

which was prettily decorated with flowers and ever-
greens. The gallant general's steward, Mr. Moors,

which were heartily drank. The health of Lieut.-
General Buckley was enthusiastically received by the

SOUTH NEWTON.—Hsuvrar THANKSOITL'.G.
--On Thursday afternoon, a thanksgiving service for
the late bountiful harvest was held in the parish
church. The service, which was choral, commenced
about three o'clock, the choir being conducted and
accompanied by Mr. T. E. Spinney, of Fiaherton,
assisted by several members of the Fisherton choir.
On this occasion, a new organ, built by Mr. Dicker,
of Exeter, was inaugurated, and this made the service
doubly interesting. Mr. E. Spicney, organist,
Banbury, Oxfordshire, was engaged to open the
organ, and as the procession of clergy entered the
church he played the chorus from the Creation,
"The Heavens are telling." The services were
intoned by the Rev. C. Tower. The anthem
selected was Weldon's "0 praise God in his
holiness," which was sung very creditably by the
choir. Archdeacon Hony preached a very appro.
priate sermon on the duty of thanksgiving, and on
the use and power of music in the Church. At the
conclusion of the service, Mr. E. Spinney executed
several piece, on the organ with great effect,abowing
the sweet tone as well as power of the instrument

first united harvest festival in this parish was cele-
brated On Thursday, and there is every proepect,
from the good feeling and harmony that prevailed,
that it will be renewed another year. The church
was beautifully deoorated with flowers, evergreens
and corn. A large congregation assembled, and an
eloquent sermon was preached by the rector. The
dianer, of which about 300 partook. was supplied in
