THE 7.4.1 R GROUND.

The MAYOR said the first business was to receive
the answer of the Duchy of Cornwall to the wish of
the Council to obtain Beggar's Knap as a site for the
future fairs and rnarketa of the borough, and decide
what shall be done in that matter.

The Tows CLERK then read the following
letter :

Duohy of Cornwall,
Buckingham Gate,
March 22, 1858.
have submitted to the Council of His
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales loopy of the memo-
rial which accompanied your letter of the 13th ult., and
which you state • deputation from the Borough of Dor-
°heater desired to present, and to request that the
Connell would be pleased to grant the fee of • piece of
ground celled Beggar's Knap as a site for • fair and
market ground. -The cite in question being one of four
that were applied for by you on the 12th of October,
1855, and which le delineated on a tracing which youthen
sent to me, and distinguished by the number 3, the
Council have commanded me to refer you to their pre-
vlous communications, dated 13th November, 18th
Deoember, 1855, and 18th January, 1858, by which you
were informed that the application made for that par-
ticular site could not, under any circumstances, be
entertained. At the same time lam again to state that
the Council have been anxious, in as far as they could,
to comply with the wishes of the Municipal Corporation
by selling the interest of the Duchy in the site near
Maumbury Rinp,which is distinguielied on your tracing
by the number 4. They have now been asked to consent
to the appropriation of a portion of this site for a differ-
ent purpose, but, before doing so, they would be willing,
If the Corporation wished, to afford them another op-
portunity of making the purohak ; but, unless the
terms, which would be hued on the previous valuation
of the Duchy land agent, were agreed upon before Satur-
day, the 3rd of April, it would not be in the power of
the officers of the Duly to entertain any subsequent
application for the site number 4.
I ern, Sir,
Your very obedient servant,
J. R. GARDINER.

Symonds, Esq.
The Town Clerk added that, with the sanction of
the Mayor, he had written in reply to the foregoing
that the monthly meeting of the Town Counon
would be held on April 8, whioh would be the
earliest time when the matter oould be considered;
and he received the following answer :

Duchy of Cornwall,
Buckingham oat.
30th March, 1858.
beg to acknowledge your letter of yesterday's
date stating that the offer made to the Corporation of
Dorchester in my letter of the 22nd init., of a site for
the Fair Ground will be considered at a meeting of the
Town Council to be held on the sth of April nest, and,
with referenoe thereto, to call your attention to the fact
that, as you may have inferred from my previous com-
munication, I have informed the Chief Constable of the
county of Dorset that, in the event of the Corporation
not accepting the site offered by the day mentioned
in my letter, namely the third of April, it would be
open to him to take it u a site for the proposed polio,
station. _

BLINDFORD.

Bann Fimunit.—No additional facts of importance
have transpired relative to the bank failure since our
last communication. It is said that Mr. Linklater is
retained on behalf of the creditors. Whether this
report be true or not, certain it is that the public
mind here anticipates such disclosures in the exami-
nation of the bankrupts at Basinghall-street as would
only be drawn out by the mental probing of Mr. Link-
later, or some other equally wellakilled truth extrac-
tor. We find that notices have been addressed by
the official assignee to the debtors to the estate to
pay the amounts for which they are liable on or be.
fore the 17th of this month. Many will, no doubt,
be put to great inconvenience in making arrange-
manta to pay off immediately their overdrafts; but,
we believe, the Joint Stock Banks in the town are
liberally facilitating the necessary arrangements.
We hear, in some cases in which bills given to
cover overdrafts have been made over by Oak and
Snow to private individuals, that some persons
who have thus made themselves responsible have been
surprised at receiving applications for payment from
quarters they little expected. Such known facts as
the one just named will help to make up a brief for
counsel, and assist in eliciting a full disclosure of
that under current of "quiet" transactions practised
by that respectable firm.
Another correspondent informs us that the bank
business is still the sole topic of conversation; and
that fresh cases of hardship are every day turning
up. Poor old poople who have toiled all their lives
and been enabled to put by a little money to save
them from the workhouse, now find that much-
dreaded abode staring them in the face. This most
unexpected failure will have a serious effect upon the
trade of the town for a long time to come.

FRIDAY, Nov. 19.—During the present week, the
arrivals of English wheal, 0004iWISO, have been only
1,590 quarters, Trishop to•day, by land oarriap, the
tweelpts were limited, consequently the show of samples
wea small. for most kinds, however, the demand NY
to a sluggish state, at Monday's aurrency. Forslen
wheal—the imports of whioh are 5,070 quarters—
changed hands slowly, but we hare no alteration to
notice in prices. Floating cargoes of grain supported
last week's quotations. There wee a good demand for
malting barley, at filll quotations; but other kinds met
a dull inquiry. Malt realised former terms, with a
moderate inquiry. The oat trade ruled somewhat
heavy, and damp panels were rather lower. Beans,
pee., and dour sold at full priests.

owaraATiox TO THI OLD WATCHHIN.

The MAYOR said the Witch Committee had been
considering the cue of the two old men Bartlett and
Hooper who had been superseded by the new pollee,
and who had been in the service of the borough for a
very lengthened period—the former hail been watoh•
man for 29 years, the latter for nearly 19 years. It Do.
curred to him (his Worship) exceedingly hard that
these men were now dispensed with, and were at
the lame time without any means of supporting
themselves and their families. He would say that
in his opinion, if the Council had the power to do it,
the men ought to receive some sort of remuneration
for the loss of their situations. He was reminded of
another watchman, Vatober ; but, as Mr. Hodges
observed, his cue stood on quite a different footing
to the two old men. He (the Mayor) however, was
afraid that they were wholly without any public
hinds out of which to grant a superannuation allow.
anoe. Still, if it were possible to do anything for
Bartlett and Hooper, he would be glad to concur in
it ; and as to the new police, if he were disposed to
take credit for having done anything serviceable dm,
his mayorality it would be for the establishment of
that very neoceseary and efficient body of men.
Some conversation having taken plain upon the
subject of the Mayor's remarks, and it appearing
that there were no public funds available as
compensation to the two men,
The MAYOR proposed that they should enter
upon a subscription among themselves, which
should also be open to the town generally, for the
benefit of these men, and intimated his willingness to
head the list with a kb note..

The proposition was unanimously concurred in,
and the suheoription•list, which Rai opened at once,
wag thought to offer very fair prospeota of • liberal
accession of names. _

The report of the General Purposes Committee
was thea read and ordered to be reoeived and adopted
and to be entered on the minutes.

RUSSIA.

A letter from Stuttgart of the 21st tilt., says that the
description of Orsini applies perfectly to an individual
who lodged at the hotel of the Petetsburger•Hof in that
town in the month of September last, and whom the
police expelled, with two or three other Italians. It
would appear from this feet that it was intended to
make a similar attack at Stuttgart on the person of the
Emperor Napoleon as that executed in the Rue
Lepelletier.
On making a search at the lodgings of a suspected in-
dividual at Ancona, but who had fled, a long corres-
pondence MO discovered relating to the secret societies
in Italy and their ramifications in France and other
countries. A certified copy of this document has been

MARLBOROUGH-STREET POLICE COURT.
THURSDAY.

- - •
Mrs. Caroline Mary Scoones, of No. 30, Old Bond-
street, applied to Mr. Bingham under the Marriage Act
for an order to protect her property against her husband,
Mr. George Scoones, who had deserted her and contri-
buted nothing towards her maintenance.
Mrs. Scoones said, about two years ago she was obliged
to bring her husband to that court for ill-using her, and
the sentence on him was two months' imprisonment.
Her husband was sent to prison, and from that day she
had never spoken to him, nor had he taken the least
notice of her or done anything towards the support of
his family. She had maintained herself and two chil-
aren for two years without assistance by letting her
house, and she wanted to secure her furniture and pro-
perty against any attempt on the part of her husband,
should he again make his appearance.
Mr. Bingham asked if the furniture and property had
been acquired since the desertion.
The applicant replied in the affirmative.
Mr. Bingham immediately granted the order, to take
effeot from the day of application.

called on me this afternoon, and expressed himself wi, pleasure of the decided benefit has sister has received from the
Wafers. She had been for some years the subject of a most
distressing cough. The remedies usually employed by the pro-
fession had not succeeded in affording relief; other remedies
were resorted to, respecting which the daily press tell wondrous
tales. Still only occasional and temporary ease was obtained;
but on trying your preparation, Dr. Locoek's Wafers, benefit
was almost instantly derived, and by a little steady persever-
ance, the cough, which was before distressingly troublesome,

MALTA.

Letters from Malta of the 19th of January announce
an unusual temperature. During the preceding fort-
night heavy rains had fallen, and the wind had blown
almost uninterruptedly from the southward and east-
ward. On the 18th ult. the thermometer, which on the
preceding day had stood at 53°, suddenly fell to 33°
Fahrenheit, and there were two falls of mow, nothing of
the kind having been seen since 1835. A large snow-
ball was collected on the Porst-offiee-terrace, and the
lads on board the Royal Albert amused themselves by
pelting each other from what was collected on the deck
and awnings. The Thetis, Prussian frigate, arrived at
Malta from Toulon on the 20th ult., having upwards of
100 of her crew on the sick list from influenza, having
experienced unusual cold weather throughout the voyage.
Several aged inhabitants at Malta had been carried off
from the effects of the cold, and among others a man, by
trade a carpenter, who had attained the age of 107
years, retaining his sight and hearing to the hour of
Isis death.
