Although I am separated from you by over 6,000 miles,
it makes no difference. I find, to the speed with which
I can in thought transfer myself from Zanzibar, in
Africa, to Swanage, in England. Id. so constantly%
as you may imagine, for I miss my English home, and
all the pleasant English faces I know so well, not that
African faces are not pleasant, fnr they are, and
African boys can be as merry as English boys. But
black is not white, is it? Th. journey seemed very
long, and we took I..nger reaching here than we should
if we had gone to .tustralia—we were close on six
weeks, arriving here February 23th ;and what do you
think it is like ? One thing, it is very hot—the hottest

feel it very much, and we dare not go out in the ten.

THE PARISH ACCOUNTS OP WIMBORNE.

Several times of late our local readers' attention
has been arrested with knotty points on no-called
questionable parish matters. It is evident by the
following that a gentleman like Mr. George C. Boor
cannot rest until he feels assured everything that
is radically wrong is done away with. Our readers
will see that he is only acting legally in the matter.
We feel sure when the parishioners' eyes are opened,
as Mr. Boor wishes to open them, they will consider
him their real and true friend.
To the Ratepayers of Wimborne,—l beg to inform
he ratepayer. of the parish that the statement of Mr.
R. W. Ifibben to the Board of Guardians at their
last meeting, in reference to the above society, is
entirely Untrue; and was made simply to throw dust
in the eyes of the ratepayers. The facts are these
On March 2fith, 1864, two letters were written by the
Local Government Board, Whitehall, London, one
addressed to myself, the other to "The Overseers of
the Parish of Winaborne ' (not to Mr. RIIIVIIIIS as
alleged by Mr. Dibben). The two letters were posted
by a Government messenger at the same time in Lon-
don, both came by the same mail, and arrived at
Winiburne Post-office. The letters were delivered on
the morning of March 27th, one at my house, and the
other at the overseers' office, in sufficient time for the
vestry in the evening of that day. Had the letter been
addressed to Mr. Rawlins, as alleged, he would have
received it on the Thursday morning, and as one
of the overseer, should have attended the vestry with
the letter and amounts as requested. Surely if they
contained, as stated by Mr. Dibben, "nothing but
what might have been given to the crier to be cried
to the town," why were they suppressed and why
still withheld' If the accounts had been properly
kept the auditor would have had no reason to report
the assistant-overseer. A question was asked at the
vestry meeting by the assistant overseer, "Why, if
the accounts were wrong, did the auditor pass them!"
I will tell you. The auditor is bound to pass all
accounts presented to him right or wrong, and then
report on them by a special- appended certificate
which he did in this case—and I challenge the assist-
. ant-overseer to publish the auditor's certificate and
report. The time will come when the ratepayers will
see (and they are beginning to have their eyes opened)
that jam only acting legally, and exposing that which
I is radically wrong, I must tell Mr. Elouck that
the statement made by him in a handbill relative to
1 the rating of the assistant-overseer's house and offices
is not correct, it being ea only, and not £l9 Mt
which he would have the ratepayers believe; and this
can be seen by a reference to the rate nook, • rating
as thoroughly inadequate as Mr. Elcock's own eaten.

(11127 TLEKSH,—A oonaldarabla period by.

Nem that tinse four Conservative candidates have
issued addressee offering their sirens= to the Gineti.
weary, sod rumours are prevalent of present members
of
likely to withdraw and ven o ous about to
occur in die future representation of the.Uounty.
I Ito not anxious to increase the difficulties and
aatertausy ~f this stets of affairs, but, as no other
Liberal caodidata is in the field, and looking to the
probability of a great accession to the register of voters,
sbrowt tbe very just extension of the suffrage to all
householders in the County likely to come into force
before the next General Election, (feel that the present
a favourable occasion for offering myself to represent
the County of Dorset in Parliament, and for adordiig
to the Constituency the opportunity of recording thou.
votes in favour of a Liberia candidate.
I venture to bops that I have some claims upon your
cno•iderstion. I have lived in Dorstithire nearly all
ley life, and have an intimate acquaintance with almost
every part of it. I may boast that I have been a con-
sistent Liberal. My Parliamentary experience
esteods over nine years in the House of Commons,
set after two contested elections in the County, I
soeceeded in gaining a seat for the Liberal party.
My phtical views and opinions may not be unknown
to you through my public speech., and votes in the
House f Commons. I have endeavoured to maintain
that independence which I believe to be consistent
with the duties of a member ~f Parliament. It is on
Nu. account that, differing on one or two occasions
troll Her Majesty'. Goveriunent, and, notably, with
respect to their policy on the Egyptian Question, I
have recorded my votes against them.
I come before you, relying solely upon such claims
as I may poses to your confidence and support, re-
cognising, as I di, the right of any pereon to offer
himself a, a candidate to represent a constituency in
Parliament, and the right of every elector to give,
under the protection of the ballot, a free and unbiassed
vote. I am not, therefore, as is the case with the
Gamereative candidates, seeking to be the nominee of
any association or county caucus, and you may rely
absolutely on my going s, the poll.
:Should you do me the honour of electing me as one
of your representatives, I shall devote my best endea-
vour, to fulfil my duties to your satisfaction, and my
efforts will be directed to promote, to the utmost of
my power, the interests and welfare f the agricultural
and commercial classes, a. well as those of all other
