To the Mayor of DorrAcater.

Sir,--I have to report that on Saturday last I made
an examination of the main sewer from the outlet to the
Bridpurt road. At the outlet the water was about 1
inch above the sewer. At the examination shaft, lead-
ing to Mr. Stanton's, the water was 4 feet deep in
the sewer. At the examination shaft, near Tubb's
Corner, Fordingtou, the water was 4.6 deep, level with
the surface of the ground. At the examination shaft
in the Blandford road the water was 5 feet deep, or 5
feet from the surface. At the examination shaft, near
footpath leading to Fordiligton, 6 feet deep, or 3.9
from surface. On a Coiner occaidon when there was no
more water running into the main it was only two-thirds
full ; it would seem that there is much more water in the
main than there Was at that time.
I am, yours respectfully,
JLREMIAH JOIVLIT,
Borough Surveyor.

23rd January, MCA.
The MAYOR a.4ked if there was more water in the
sewer than it cool,' carry.

Mr. JOWETT : Yea.
The MAVOII asked if the Surveyor had made an
examination after the rain.

Mr. Jove Err replied that be had not.
The MAYOR thought he should have done so in
order to make a proper test.
A conversation was then commenced by Mr. MAN.
Finn with respect to the leakage in the water
pipes, when
Mr. Jowyrr said that the leakage in the pipes
was about II of an inch hourly on the service of
the reservoir, which was about 2,1100 gallons.
Mr. STANTON said there were 48,1N10 in 24
hours. . _

Mr. JowErr said he was quite satisfied with the
whole section of the pipes except that of Fording-
too, in which the leakage almost wholly took
place.
Mr. GALPIN asked if he had any doubt that it
could be remethea.

Mr. Jowsrr said he had not; the contractor had
already reduced the leakiige in the reservoir from
9 to 2.1 inches.
Mr. MANVIELD, in the course of some further
observations as to the unnecessary and inefficient
4uplicate of pipeo—one larger and one smaller—
which Mr. Whitehead had so ingeniously devised,
narrated a humorous anecdote which strikingly
illustrated the wisdom of the course pursued. A
carpenter, who was no doubt a very clever engineer
(said Nlr. Mantield), was called in by an old lady,
who was afraid of taking cold by the frequent open-
ing of the door to let her cat out of the room, and
he was requested to make a hole in the door to
allow of the animal's egress. It happened that the cat
had a kitten, and the carpenter made two holes, one
for the cat and another for the kitten.—(Loud
aughter.
TI-e subject here dropped.
Mr. Geramev's application to make a boarding
was not entertained, as the street was so narrow
Mt the Board considered they had no right to
ytaLm or•raghfare for any private purpose.

LITERARY INSTITUTION. —We perceive that the
Literary 1 nstitution of this town has secured the
popular services of Mr. J. E. Carpenter, for the
27th, whose entertainment will consist of comic,
satirical, vocal and pictorial illustrations. He is to
be assisted by Miss M.Mascall (soprano) ,and Miss E.
(contralto). We hope to see a czowded
house, for the benefit of the institution, whose funds
are by no means high; besides, great expense must
be entailed in securing this entertainment The
title of the evening's amusement is "The World and
his Wife," or " From year's end to year's end."
A large and influential meeting was holden at the
Crown Hotel, on Thursday, the 19th inst., for the
I purpose of proniotini„ the formation of a Volunteer
Rifle Corpe. H. K. Seymcr, Esq., 1‘11.P., took
the chair and introduced the business of the meeting,
after which the Rev. H. F. Yeatman moved the
first resolution, and in doing so addressed the assem•
My at considerable length on the necessity and
desirability of the step they were then taking, enter-
ing into the causes which had led to such a move-
nient throughout the length and breadth of the land,
and urging all parties to do all in their power to
forward so laudable a matter. The meeting was also
addressed by Lieut.-Colonel Malet Montague
Williams, Esq., J. R. Lyon, Esq., and Captain
Littlehales. Mr. Yeatmazi, in an eulogistic speech,
presented the thanks of the meeting to the chair-
man. About a score of names were enrolled imams-
' diately after the meeting terminated.

AUSTRIA.

The lantexpected Imperial decree removing all civic
disabilities from the professors of the Mosaic faith has
at last appeared in the Vienna Gazette, and forms an
important addition to the healthy foundation on which
the edifice of reorganised Austria is to be raised. It
was no small rubbish which bad to be cleared away in
this respect. There were in existence laws which pre-
vented Jews from exercising certain professions, particu-
larly that of apothecaries, keepers of wine-shops, and
breweries—in fact, all licensed rade*. Those laws are
all abolished which prohibit Jews from fixing their resi-
dence in the fiat country of Galicia, in the mountains
of Bohemia and Hungary, in Croatia and Sclavonia, as
well as in the Banat and Transylvania, in each of which
provinees the former Austrian Governments thought it
necessary to protect in this way the ignorance of the
Masonic peasantry against the craftiness of commercial
men of Jewish origin.
It is said that the Austrian Government has resolved
to maintain a pacific attitude. Notbwithstanding that
the bans of the peace at Villafranca have been now
completely set aside by France and Sardinia, there is no
intention on the part of Austria to have recourse to
arms; and it is said she will content herself with send-
ing a circular to all the European Governments pro-
testing against the violations which the other parties
to the Treaty of Zurich have committed.

WOOL MARKET.

Since Monday last there has been rather more busi-
ness doing in fine English wool—the supply of which
on offer is somewhat limited—at very full prices.
Long-wools, however, have commanded very little atten-
tion, on former terms. Rather more business is doing
for export purposes, and staples, generally, are very
Ana. .

BIBLE•DURNTNG.—The Monet Chronicle publishes
statement respecting the horning of an "Irish primer,"
containing extracts from the Scriptures, by the orders of
• Roman Catholic uncut in the neighbourhood. The
book Wad lent to a boy by • farmer, but the lad's father
took him befors the priest, who, toiling that the book
contained vsrious passages from the Old and New
Testaments in Irish and English, in parallel column,,,
ordered the father to go house and burn the book,
which behest was carried out.

THIS PAPAL AGITATION UI IBELAND.—The Papal
agitation in Ireland, which flows on in such wild cur-
rents, is not only greatly sympathetic but very episo-
dical. Singular speeches are here and there delivered.
and these. combined with exciting interruptions, are
worthy of the beet days of Irish good-nature and eccen-
tricity. At Skibbereen an orator delivered himself of •
great number of short sentences, terminating in the advo-
cacy of a crusade to bring the Pope over to Ireland,so that
there, in the extreme west of Europe, his Holinem
might be able to rest peaceably. A rev. gentleman
afterwards rose and said he would himself get £l,OOO
for this object, and send 1,000 men for the Pope.—Dr.
Dixon, the so-called " Primate of all Ireland, has pub-
lished a letter inveighing against the French Emperor.
That Potentate, he says, has thrown off the mask and
revealed human as the imitator of his uncle in his
treatment of the Holy Bee. The appropriate residence
for the Emperor, the Primate thinks, would be the
prison of Ham, rather than the Palace of the Tuileries ;
and, in conclusion, the doctor shouts, "Robber, take
your hand from the throat of the Vicar of Christ!"
The Dundalk Democrat is precisely of the doctor's way
of thinking. It calls Victor Emmanuel a plundering
King, and Napoleon a robber.

THE EDUCATION DINPUTIL—At Befast there has been
an educational demonstration in antagonism to the Ro•
inan Catholic opinion. Dignitaries of the Established
Church, Diewsnting ministers, magistrates, tos n council-
lon, inerchants. and numerous ladies and gent!emen net
to uphold the national system of education, its it exists
in Ireland—llitior-fieneral Chesney in the chair. The
Mauer National Education Society promoted tins meet-
ing.

CHINA.

The Chinese mail brinp us nothing that would inti-
mate that a war is going to be waged against that
country; nor is there anything in the Indian despatches
to lead us to the belief that the British authorities are
exerting themselves for the name end. Yet the Impe-
rial Government of China seenin to be alive to the dan-
ger, for the Chinese are reported to be making great
preparations of • defensive kind. Trom.s had been
ordered up to Pekin for the Canton Province.
At Canton the foreigners attached to the Chinese Cus-
tom House were conducting affairs in such an annoying
and offensive manner that trouble was likely to ensue,
while our British consular authorities appear apathetic
to complaints A Portuguese steamer has been seised,
and ship and cargo conllacated, and the dag hauled down,
without the least regard to the usual rules laid down for
such cases. Reparation and apology had been de-
manded by the Governor of Macao.
The American Treaty had been published.

A letter from the Lerant Herald of the 4th inst. says
—" The Chinese Government has addressed & note to
the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, in which it demands that
all the country on the /tumor occupied by Russia be im-
mediately evacuated. as no legal authorisation exists
from his Celestial Majesty for such occupation. The
courier who brought this intelligence also announced that
the Russian mission at Pekin had been placed under sur-
veillance. The only answer the Russian Government
gave to this demand was an order for the levy of an
army of 60,000 men from the Governments of Orenburg
and Irkoutak, which is to be despatched without delay
to kfanciuria, on the frontiers of China. A division of
the army. 20.000 strong, liad proceeded from Astrakan
to occupy Kokhan and IBokara, so as to secure the road
for the expeditionary army. It was rumoured in Odessa
that this corps already occupies the two latter
places. General Mouravieff will have under his orders
80,0:10 regular troops, besides the Cossack and Tartar
militia, which, when required, can be raised to 60,000
men. Russia is certainly resolved to act energetically in
this invasion.

FRANCE.

Ilse free-trade reforms of the Emperor are not likely
to be realised without a party struggle. The excitement
arecmpl the ealioo-weavers and some other manu-
facturers is greedy very peat. The Paine says :
" The prohibitions will not be abolished before July,
111131, when they will be replaced by protective duties of
30 to 26 per cent., which, with the advantages granted
to French industry, will be quite sufficient to allow
competition. Before taking any definitive resolution
the Emperor hu decided to hear the opinion of the
principal manufacturers."
A telegram from Paris on Monday give us the intel-
ligence that the Government were about to proceed
against the Society of St. Virament de Paul, the most
important Catholic charitable association in France, and
that the Minister of the Interior had already informed
all the public functionaries that they must choose
between remaining memben of that association and
retaining their offices. The report is discredited.
The Bey. Mr. Gurney has received permisaion to open
his chapel (In Paris) on Sunday next, and there is reason
to hope he will obtain legal authorisation to prosecute
his elerioal duties without further interference.
Madame Lassoing has appealed unsuccesituUT against
the sentence of twenty years' hard labour, for killing her
daughter's newly-born child, at Tours.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

THURSDAY. JAN. 19.—T0-ilay's market was mode-
rately supplied with beasts in fair average condition.
Most breeds met a dull inquiry, at a decline in the
quotations realised on Monday of 2.1. per 81bs. Sheep,
though in short supply, changed hands slowly, at the
late reduction in value. The top figure for downs was
ss. 4.1. per Sibs. We were rather scantily supplied
with calves, and the veal trade ruled firm. at very
fall currencies. In the value of pigs and much cows
no change took place.

JAPAN.

Advice' from Japan state that Mr. Hodson, the
British C,onsul, had arrived at Hakodadi. and, in con-
lunction with the Russian authorities, had made a press-
I lig demand upon the Japanese Government to remove
the restrictions placed upon commerce, which, after the
exchange of diplomatic notes, had resulted in the pro-
Mille that all the troubles should be remedied.

LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

A meeting of the Board took place yesterday—
present, M. Devenish, Ea(. (Mayor), Alderman
Nlantield, Messrs. Galpin, Ensor, Hodges, Bishop,
Andrews, Stanton, Mason, and Frond.
Previous to the business of the meeting being
entered upon, Mr. Vaizey, of Stafford, applied to be
permitted to lay before the Board three letters and
two bills, which related to the costs incurred by the
arbitration upon the damages sustained by Mr.
Vaizey during the progress of the public works.
The amount claimed by Mr. Vaizey was £7l,
and the award was for £4.5. One of the bills
was fir £6 1 4d. from Mr. Weston as
Mr. Vaizey 's solicitor, the other for £6 16s. 61.
from Mr. luckham, one of the arbitrators.
The question was, who was liable for the pay-
ment of these sums—Mr. Vaizey or the Board of
Health. The Clerk explained the matter as it stood,
and was of opinion, under the circumstances, that
each party should pay his own expenses, a course in
which Mr. Galpin entirely concurred. A long con-
versation arose upon the subject, but as no notice of
the question appeared in the agenda paper, the
Board at this sitting were unable to deal with it, and
the further consideration of the matter was postponed
until the next meeting.
The then reported what had been done as
to the connection which had been made without ,
authority with the main sewer from Mr. Tassell's
premises, and applied for instructions from the
Board as to whether the penalty was to be pressed
for in the case of a conviction. It appeared that the
wish of the Board was merely that the summons
against Mr. Wellspring's man was taken out by the
Board as a caution to others, and not, in the present
case, to inflict anything like a severe punishment,
which the fine of £5 (the lowest that could be
impaled) would be in the case of the poor man who
had connected the drain. Mr. Manfleld took
occasion to remark that unless they got their water
supply to flush the drains, these connections, even
with houses said to be of themselves well supplied with
, water, would, lie feared, become in the summer a
very serious nuisance. An investigation was ordered
to be made as to whether the junction had been
discontinued since proceedings had been taken
against the offender, as upon that would depend, in
, some measure, the decision of the guard.

STATE OF TUE DRAINAGE AND WATER SUPPLY.
The first business on the paper was to receive and
consider a report from the Surveyor as to the gene-
ral state of the works of drainage and water supply.
The report was presented and read as follows :

THE PILE PIER.

The 111 Avon read the following letter from the con-
tractor of the Pile Pier.
"To the Mayor and Corporation of Weymouth.

THURSDAY, May 10.—To-day's market was scantily
supplied with beasts, in, for the, most part, middling
condition. Prime breeds moved off steadily, at folly
Monday's currency. Otherwise, the beef trade ruled
heavy, on former terms. We have to report a fair
demand for sheep--the show of which war moderate—
at full quotations. Lambe commanded extreme rates,
with • healthy inquiry. About 300 came to hand from
the Isle of Wight. The supply of English calves was
limited—of (weir, good. The demand for them was
inactive, yet prices were supported. Pigs and milch
cows sold at full prices; but the sale for them was
inactive.

seven years' earviee at 2,000 francs. Thus iii. redemp-
tion-money and the bounty are both nicreasedi The
11101411411 r explains the reason why such • measure has
become neeserery—namely, that the number of young
men who availed themselves of the redemption system
at the last reerniting, immediately before the Italian
war, bed been so uncommonly great.
The Superior Council of Commerce, which has beet
appointed to make investigations relative to the execu-
tion of the treaty of commons with England, assembled
on Monday hut, and will in future regularly meet on
Monday, Thursday, and Friday in each week.
France has given way on two important points con
-
earning tbe settlement of the new boundary line between
France and Sardinia. France bad asked that the fort ci
Faceilion on Mount Oen* built in 1816 with French
money, should be. included in the annexation. The
Sardinian Government, considering that from Lamle-
beteg to Tarns is • distance of only three day's march.
insisted upon keeping it. It has now been agreed
that the fort shall be rased to the pound. The other
concession regards Fintimiglis, the claim of Count
Cavour to which, as a " thoroughly Italian town," kos
been edniitted..
The Petite believes itself correct in stating that no
decision has yet been taken relative to the evacuation of
Ronne. The same paper says that Marshal M'Mehon
will take the commind of the camp of Chalons at the
beginning et June next.

The renunciation of Don Ferdinand is couched in the
same terms. The Madrid papers correctly remark that
such • declaration would have come with better grace
Ii it had been made before the execution of the Count's
partisans. It ia thought that Don Juan, brother to the
Count de Montemolin, will not &rent to the abdic&tion
of the elder branch of the family. The Count and Don
Ferdinand embarked at Tortes& on the 7th. Their
destinatioo was unknown.
We must add that in Legitimist circles the reported
renunciation of the Count de Montemolin is positively
denied.
A despatch from Madrid of the 9th says :—" Yester-
day 300 men belonging to the disciplinary companies
rose at Altai& de Bemires. The Civic Guard has re-
established order, but not without lamentable Mei.

Thu ABDUCTION CASl3.—Another abduction case
came before the Court of Queen's Bench at Dublin on
Saturday. Alice Murphy, widow of • Dublin tailor,
obtained a writ of habeas corpus calling upon Henry
Corr, of Donnybrook, to bring up the bodies of Patrick
and Aliens Murphy, her children. From her statement
it appean that she was induced in 1867 to allow her
daughter to go to the Josephine Orphan House ; that
up to September, 1868, she was allowed to see the child,
but that Rinse then the child bad been removed. Mr.
Corr made a return which set forth that the father of
the children executed a will in which he appointed Mr.
Corr the trustee and guardian of his shildren, who, it
was his (the father's) wish, should be brought up Roman
Catholics; and that, accordingly, be (Mr. Corr) took
steps to carry out the intentions of the testator, and
had both children placed in Roman Catholic orphan
asylums. The return further set forth that their
mother subsequently applied to Mr. Corr to treader
the children to her custody for the purpose of having
them brought up as Protestants, on the ground that the
parties who would undertake their maintenance and
education would also support her, she not being allowed
any assistance from the Roman Catholic authorities.
This Mr. Corr refutes to do. It was decided that it was
• ease in which the children were properly brought up
Roman Catholics. Mr. Corr undertook that the mother
should have free access to the children, on condition of
her not attempting to interfere with their education.
Both the orphans were brought into wart. The
Court would not interfere in a case were the contending
parties were both the maternal aunts of the children,
but one of them was a Catholic, and the other a Protes-
tant. The Protestant had possession of the children,
and the Catholic sought to get them. It is said to be i
the intention of the prosecutrix to apply to the Court of
Chancery to have the children educated as Roman
Catholics.
Ms Isms REcaurs FOR THZ POPIN—We read in
the Mail:—" It is currently reported, and as cur-
rently believed, that within the last fortnight between
400 and 600 young men—a few of them belonging to the
respectable trade classes—have left Ireland ea route to
Rome, with what ulterior object the reader can readily
. surmise. The great majority of the recruits are said to
' have been picked up in Cork, Kerry, and North Tip-
, perary , the minority being compared of Dublin men.
. Through some mysterious agency each recruit has had
, the good fortune to have received • sum of lilBs. Its.—
not, of course, by way of bounty or smart-money, but
merely to cover the necessary expanses of a visit to the
Eternal City?'

•BDI;CTION.

During the absence of the jury upon the adjournment
of the Court in the middle of the day IL prisoner, named
William Downes, was placed at the bar.
The prisoner was convicted at the February session
of taking a girl under 16 years of age out of the custody
of her parents without their consent, but a point of
law having been raised by his counsel. Mr. Sleigh, judg•
meat was respited, and the judges in the Court of
Criminal Appeal have not yet been able to come to a
decision.
Baron Channell told the prisoner that, pending the
decision of the Court, the learned judge who tried him
' considered that he might be admitted to bail, and it
was originally ordered that be should enter into a per
bona recognisance in £BO, and find two sureties in I:40
, each. He understood, however, that he was not in a
; condition to find sureties to that amount, and the
I Court would therefore content to his being liberated
upon his entering into his own recognisance in £BO,
but, as there was some doubt whether the Act of Par
hamlet did not also require sureties, he would also
find tee sureties in Is. each.
The prisoner thee entered into the required teeeini•

Eratic attb Commerce.

Lacerren, May 9.---The hoftiery trade in most branches
remains quiet ; indeed, there is hardly an average busi-
nee. doing, but thin is mainly attributable to the recent
coldness of the weather. Fancy goods will, however, ,
soon he in demand, and the general aspect of trade may '
be expected to be improved. In the oountry districts
there is very little improvement to report. Wools are
yet firm, and extremely deer. Yarns ars without materiel
change.
NoTTINGUAM, 9th—The lace trade remains quiet, and
there is not an average amount of business doing in
hardly any branch. The genial change in the weather,
added to the fact that specimens of lace in mantles,
shawls, and other articles of dress are being submitted
to Her Majesty for approval, will probably, ere long,
operate favourably for the lace trade. Lace is becoming
more fashionable, and will, no doubt, moon be generally
worn. There is a little doing in plain nets and Mechline,
but other branches are decidedly dull. Tha fancy trade
is quiet, and the demand for silk goods is at present not
much improved. In hosiery there is no important chanp
to report; many departments remain quiet, but more
business in expected to be done shortly.

Private telegrams from Mane Ales announce a panic
at Shanghai, where trade was" suspended," the rebels
having reached the silk districts. The exchange on
London had risen to 6s. Tid., showing an alteration to
the extent of about 3 per cent. against England. The
exports of tea are stated at 70,000,000 lbs., and those of
silk at 56,000 bales. The stocks of produce were small
and prices higher. One telegram quotes the exchange
at Hong Kong at 4s. 9d., showing a little alteration ;
whilst another reports a rise to 4s. 90., • difference of
about 14 per cent. The effect of this news will pro-
bably be to increase the demand for silver for China.
Holders of silk, anticipating an advance in prices, have
withdrawn their 'docks from the market, and now await
the delivery of the letters. The tea market was also
excited, and a large portion of the quantity declared for
the public sales has been withdrawn.

the committee could have devoted the money so
spent to a more beneficial object. The children also
receive money for their tickets.

ITALY.
SARDINIA.

The King arrived at Turin on Tuesday evening. It
will be seen by our report of the turn affairs have taken
with rapid to Sicily that new cures are laid on his

The result of the elections is favourable to the
inistry, but • strong opposition to Cavotir has arisen,
headed by liataszi.
The Cabinet of Turin him made a proposal to the
Federal Council for the construction of • railway through
Switaniand to connect Italy and Germany.
The Sardinian Government is said to have been in-
duced by the representations of France to recognise the
right of the Pope to claim the assistance of the King
of Naples to maintain order in the Papal States. Ills,
therefore snorted that if, after the departure of the
French troops, the Papal army were increased by
Neapolitan soldiers, Sardinia would raise no objection
provided the Papal army should not attempt the con-
quest of the Legations.

MARK-LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

FRIDAY, May 11.—A very limited supply of English
wheat came fresh to hand to-day, coastwise and by land
carriage. Good and fine samples realised full prices,
with • moderate demand; but low and damp parcels
moved off slowly, at the late decline in value. We
were fairly supplied with most descriptions of foreign
wheat. Millers operated with great caution; neverthe-
less, . Monday's currency was supported. In floating
cargoes very few transactions were reported. In prices,
however, no change took place. There was scarcely
any inquiry for malting barley, 4 irregular quotations.
Grinding and distilling aorta, however, ruled steady.
The malt trade was in • sluggish state, yet prices were
well supported. Oats commanded full quotations, but
the demand for them was by no means active. Beans
and peas were • steady inquiry, but flour was • dull
sale.
