The Outman, in the worse of his address, expressed
the great ple.sure he felt in presiding over snob an
iuteresting work, and one that tended towards f urther-
leg the intelligence and industry of the labouring

potatoes, sod that was a cause of great gratification t
all, eepecially to I thinning persons. Nog if they

them green and healthy. The potato diseam wee not

the ravages which that dreadful fungus effected upon
the plant, So he would take that opportunity of a tyieg
a few words which might be the means is the future
in helping some present in diudoishing the ravages of
the disease. After briefly sketchin4 the hiatory of the
disease, which first appeared le this country iii 1844,5,
ha cal I the way to stamp out the disease—or, at leet,
to minimise its ravages—was to never allow the
haulm., i r items, or the diseased potatoes, to remaic
at all on the ground, but to either burn them or dispose
of them in some other way. He believed the potatoes
theme -Ives could be sold and used for making starch,
or some thee economic purpose. Thsrefore he w mid

fount their p 4,toee demised, t take them to • .me

wont on to refer mote particularly to the exhibits that
day and the work of the association. Toe beautiful
broad they had seen so well kneaded and baked was
• proof of the superiority of the housewifery of the
labouring classes of Dorset. He was very glad to see
that the women and children had • very large Proistr
tion of the prime, for out of 144 no less than 96 or 97
were awarded to women and children. He expressed
his opinion that the status and the social position of the
women and children of England—certainly of Dorset
—compared very favourably with that abroad, both in
France and Germany, and Italy. He could not speak
as to Spain, although be was in that country with his
excellent and good friend Mr. Floyer 30 years ago,
when perhaps he was too young to attend to thee
questions. He mentioned more thee One instance
which had come under his personal observation on the
Continent of the degrading manual labour at which
he had noticed some women and childreu employed.
In conclusion, the Chairman said with regard to their
Lord Lieutenant, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the women
and children of England, generally speaking, bet more
in the manufacturing districts than lathe agricultural,
had reeve t i be very thankful to him for the great
work he bad done in his lit time towards the ameliora-
tion of their coatitioa. (Applause.) Even in his (the
chairman's) time and recollection—now going on for 60
years—many an Act had been passed through the agency
of the Harlot Shaftesbury. (Applause.) His eloquence,
his position, and hie philanthropic heart had all ten let
towards this great object. He was quite aware, to'.
that his good friend Mr. ?toyer ha I aided very very
much in pawing many of the great and wet Acts
which had been brought forward in the Legislature
towards improving the rsistions and condition of the
labouring closes, and without •2 exception had voted
for it. (Applause.) The re-4 of them perhaps,
worked unseen like them des tan iergrou d. but at all
events they had the greet satiefatttion of knowing
that • great w irk was being done by that society,
and Mr. Kindersley, too, would have the great sails-
faction of feeling he hat done all ho possibly could
towards pla,ing the people around him in e better
and happier position than when he came amongst
them. (Applause.) fie was sure they would giro
him the pride* which was due to him. Ile reo aliened
Mr. Porcher, the first organizer of that a viety, and
many other good societies in the country, and his
mantle had fallen upon Ids successor, Mr. Kindereley,
an I they ought to be very thankful that Mr. Porcher
saw the genii seed that was in him, and left him that
great work to bed me. (Aoplauss.)
Mr. JOHN FLOTIR, said .Mr. Mansel-Pieydell
ha I asked him to say is few words, and they would be
but few, because after the very interesting a trireme
they had heard from him it would be unnecessary for
him to iletaiu them any laugh of time. They were all
grew ly in lebted t i their president for coming *monist
them that day. He had sell holies I rather beyond their
boun lariat : at all events he was a Dorset man,
they knew that, and a right good Direct man.
(Applause.) Wheth .: he was exactly within their
bouudaries he did not know, and finless he stu lied a
little of the geography of the county he could not
quite make up his mini on that point. But he knew
he was I argely interested in some portion of the district
over which the labou s of that association extended,
and they were very much obliged to him for coming
amongat them tied giving them so very good an exposie
lion of many mu t intereeting facts. Ile spike of some
of their worst troublee having come smogs the Atlantic
from America. Well, they hed a visitation lately, but
he did not koow that their good neighbours on that
great o intinent were quite responsible for sending them
over a hurricane. Perhaps they were more responsible
for sending over the Colorado beetle, because probably
it cline over in one if their care we, mad therefore the
less cargoes they had of that kin I the more they would
be pleased. It was true they were indebted to them
for some bet things, but certainly for many other good
thing, they were under an obligation to them, and no
doubt there were many matters upon which the
Americans were able to show them a good example.
He did not know he o.uld quite speak of that
politically. The Republic was very gis I, no doubt,
In its own way, but he preform' the good old
isionerchy and Parliament of Ragland. (Applause.)
Ile did not think they could change for the
better—that was his opinion. (Applause.) his
good friend the Presideut was a man of many
and varied tsetse, talents, and occupations, but there
was one characteristic thet belonged ii them all, and
that was they were all for the benefit and the improve-
ment of those amongst whim he lived. He was the
president, as many of them Igoe of the Dorset
Natural History S viety —it had a longish title, there-
fore he would not go all through it—{laughter)—but
it was a very good society o innected with antiquities of
Dorset and the geology 01 Dorset, he would not say
everything of Dorset, but he was connected with •
good many things. He ISILS, ats he hod said, president
of that society, and an exoellent president he was. The
society was c innecte I with the soil of the county, and
In that respect had a slight bean i g upon their gardens
and farms. His good friend had spoken upon things
tionnected with thee matters—not exactly upon the
strata, or the different layers of soil, but upon the
produce of the soil, and at they knew horticulture was
la great deal affected by what kind of soil they planted
their vegetables in. Mr. Maned Pleydell was also
well.known to them, and • great many others, for his
labours in regard to those who had been unfortunate
enough to fall amain the penal discipline of the law.
1 (Applause-) He believed there were few men who
could look back on any work they had done with more
eatielastion and thankfulness than could his good
friend in the choir with regard to his work. He (the
, bee. member) did not suppose there were many there
1 with whom he had dealt in that respect, blathers were
• great many there from the labouring classes, and it
was a far greater pleasure for him to be there that day
to reward the good and those who were present to take
their prise, nnt merely for having done things success-
fully, whether by work in the garden or by work in
the school, with the needle, but becaese they were
good, well-behaved, in Inetrious men, women, and
children. (Applause) That was an important put of the
recconecespiation—that they ISOM good characters, and
it was one that ought not to be overlooked and
he was sure was not oval looked in that
society. (Applause.) The chairman had been address-
ing that day theee who had came there as people of
goo I character, and it was no doubt • greater pleasure
to him to sea them there even than reforming those
who were nit of that description. But his kindness
and his generous heart had led him to work hard in
both ways, and he wee sure they were thankful to see
him there well and able to assist in the work for which
they were so much indebted to his friend, the good
'Squire of C.effe. (Applause.) He did n. t think he
need say more up the subject of the president,
except this: he had epoirea of their having travelled
toother. I had the pleasure of teavelling with him,
said the hon, member with scarcely suppressed feeling,
we have gone through life together, and lam in glad in
this, our old age, to find we are sitting is gether and
assisting In the promotion of what I really believe t
bee good, a thoroughly good, work. ( Applause.) In
conclusion Mr. Florae spoke of the good work done by
Mr. Kinieraley. He hod done that work for many
years; he followed a good man in it, still the society
did not fall off; it still kept up He character end main-
tained its interest. He hoped it would be many a year
before that meeting would fall away, at any rate he
was quite sure it w. uld tot fall away so long as they
bad the labour, the good judgment, and the kind heart
of their excellent secretary to keep it up. ( tpplauw.)
On the motion of the hon. member a cordial vote of
thanks was sec irded to the Chairman and the

of work last yew, be ineskliered that wee oely en
acci lent of the year. ars possibly in one or two schools
that might have competed there had been attacks of
infitlelliS or scarlatina, which hail prevented the
c'tildren attending and doing the work neceesary to be
sent in. Certainly of late year' the needlework bad
I bes a fully sent in, and they had nothiog to complain
of in that respect this year. Mr. Kioderder Proesvied
t , exp!aiii that the needlework sent in from Littleliredy
bad beec accidentally overlooked when the judges made
their awards. They had since, however, arranged that
the met deserving candidates from that parish should
rec*iee extra prises, no that the school would not in
any way suffer, and the call upon the funds would eat
be severe. He would now turn to Glass B. They had
sea it. and knew it was an excellent class indeed for
vegetables. Ile was told many persons stated they had
never had such vegetables, such potatoes at any rate,
dui, the potato disease first appeared in the country.
It was a remarkable fact indeed, aati be could not help
thiaking Mat circuinatatue in cdurodon with the
agriculture of the year d dto be brought under

wee ealcula.ed to make them feel their depenilehce hn
the Almighty. H, theu referred to the sister society,
the Dorset Friendly Society. They were doubtless
aware ewe few years back it was thought the County
' Friendly 13 wiety was in trouble. It was found some
of the branches were ruchiug riot with the funds,
and instead of accumulating capital as they should
have done, they were wwtind it. This bad gone on I

HI mignt speak of the society as bdog perfectly I

opportunity of calling the attention of the men there
for whom at was iiitended and of their wives and
daughters to it. Ile strongly urged upon them the
adventue of joining some such society as the
Dorset Friendly Society, and assured them by so
doing they would do more for themselves than any-
thing he knew of. (Applause.) In °inclusion he
thanked Mr. Flow for his kind words, and thou
who had assisted him.

to be said. It wee very much on an average, and the

named Kerley. who was also brught up with him
on that occasion on the same charge, was sent for
three months, and the prisoner appeared highly hurt
at the time because the m sgistrates refused to give
him three months as well. The Bench now sentenced
him to two mouth's bard labour, and the prisoner
left the court in custody, rolling his quid in his month
with a very satisfied air.
Tee AUDITOR AND ins GoanniaNs.—At the meet-

for the puepne of auditing the accounts, the official
'auditor 0-mplained &anklet an allowance of out-door
relief made in a nue of a womanawith one child, but
Iso husband. The Chairman spoke strongly upon the
attempt of the auditor to take upon himself the func-
tions of the Board, and stated that upon a similar
assumption of powers which did not belong to him, at
Axminster, the L cal Government Board having
been communicated with, gave it to him "pretty
warmly" for his trouble. How, he asked, could an
auditor, who came into the district but twice • year
be expected to control the disbursement of relief with
the sane effectiveness as those who met there week
after week, and uudereto al the necessities of this
who for the most part came before them. nu

an lit the acc ,unts, and not to attempt to Waiter°

that good f ilk% who give c eunteuanoe to theme

cumin in sense tare p 'suasion of their minds. Half
the mischief that is done in the world, and more than
half in the church, mtv be traced to well-meaning but
weakonioded and ign 'rant people. But for the money
that is lavished upon these profeisedly changed
characters, of io NO tongues, they would occupy them-
selves in s eine honest calling, an I perhaps themselves
learn what they are clearly incompetent to teach
others. To compare these shallow m iuntebanks with
the cultured hVbltfiell and Wesley, and their
associates, is of course ridiculously absurd, acid shows
an utter ignorance ..f the history of those times by men
who make the comparison.
