THE RIVERS POINCTION PREVENTION

On Saturday afternoon. Mr. Rawlinenn. c.a.. c
opened an inquiry at the Conned:l Chamber, Salisbury.
under the direction of the Loestl Government Board,
in regtrd to the complaint of Mr. F. J. E. Jervoine
reaperting the emptying of sewage matter from the
city into the river Avon, of which he is partly the
owner.
At the conclusion the Trinneeter did not think it was

things, however, were beside the nreeent (mention. He
thought he might at once tell the Town Clerk that there
{VISA a nuisance in thin ease. According to the evidence in
his nnten he had nets doubt shout it: an to what wonld be
done he was not prepared to say. Sitting there betwean
the two parties, he could see no evidence nf any !Rigout,

that they were often nrosecnt(el ant taken before the

that so far as hi, own knowleilee went, they had in eveoy

after all been compelled to take some nteacire to cet rid
of the nnitemee complained if. In some cane, they had

was inclined to show might still exist and he reciprocated,
and that ensue amicable arraneeneint would be Arrived at.
The Town Clerk desired to thank the Imtnector for the
attention he hail given to the inquiry, and after what hail
dropped from hint he hoped some arrangement would be
come to between both portico. There hall always leen
good feeling existing between Mr. Jervoine and the Town

required alterations, and he nnzgented that the npenstido

Mr. Whatman : No, no.
The Town Clerk : We then should be nut of debt, and
might then be able to get another loan.
Mr. Whatman snegented twelve months.
The Town Clerk: Tho is not Inns enough.
The Inspector fetid it was not for him to suggest what
the Town Connell should do, hut he did not think they
should enter jut • any arrangement that they were not
perfectly certain would le nuerennfttl. With regard to the
purifying of sewage, he necesnarily had paid a great deal
of attention to it, and as was ntatod in the report which he
had at liii side, he knew of no chemical proves, that
wood snake eewaze pure. Neither did he know of any
orncette that would turn the ilepietit from sewage' or the
extract, from it into any commercial value. Therefore.
the Corporation need not expect to make money out of
their sewage by ant mode, whatever epoeulators might
, tempt them with. In the cane ttf a speculator coining to
them with a neheme, he would advice the Corporation to
throw the entire responeiltility upon hinteelf, and on no
areount to give him tnultedy. Whether, when the sewage
was elarified, and all the excreta and solid matter were
removed, the liquid portion or the sewage could he lifted
to an elevation sefficient to Mare it upon the meadows he
was not prepared to nay. His own opinion was that if it
, were put on the meadow( in that form, that any taint or
,smell weal be gone at once, and the growth of the grans
not only greatly promoted, hitt the nuisance removed. It
' was not for him to press that any further, PLR Mr. Jervnine
i might object to have the sewage upon bin farm, but if he
dirl object, then the Corporation had better find some
other place where the sewage tni.iht go on the land either
hy irrigation or by filtration. There was the greatest
ponnilde chance of twee,, in that way at little cont, and
with less chance of litigation. But above all things let

THE NEW SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY TERMINCIL
During the last two years the South-Western Com-
pany have been engaged in a very extensive enlarge-
ment of their Waterloo Terminus, and it is stated
that when the works now in progreiss are completed it
will be the large-t passenger station within the
metropolis, not excepting those of the North-Western
and other leading lines. Within the last few days •
commencement has been made in the extension of the
Waterloo-road frontage of the station by the
demolition of a considerable amount of valuable house
property. This includes 60 tenements, in addition to
12 shops and a large publiehouse fronting Waterloo-
road. The new elevation to this thoroughfare will be
upwards of 300 ft. in length, and will not only absorb
on the south side the whole of the frontage property
from the present station to St. Aubin-street, but also,
on the north side, the building known as Hawkstone-
hall, at present in the occupation of the company,
and which is intended to be removed for the purposes
of the new facade. In connexion with the enlargement
there will he a colonnasle,approached from Waterlo-road,
and extending to the steps nowleading to the mainline
level and platforms. Above this colonnade a new
block of buildings, two storeys in height, will be
erected, containing large dining-rooms, refreshment.
rooms, and waiting-rooms, together with new booking
and other offices connected with the business of the
company. The enlargement will give two sets of
additional double line of rails with three new plat-
forms., each 700 ft. in length. A bridge thrown across
the central part of the station. as enlarged, will con-
nect the new lines and platforms with those of the
main line. The widening of the line and extension
of the station has. absorbed the Working Necropolis
station, which is approached frem Westminster.bridge-
road. In place of it the railway company are erect-
ing anew large and convenient station for the Necropo-
lis Company's yurpisses. The station, as widened and
enlarges!, is chiefly for the accommodation of the local
traffic, and will materially relieve that of the main
line in a similar manner to that which has already
been effected on the north side of the station by the
I construction of new lines and platforms, entered from
York-road, for the Windsor and Richmond traffic.
This enormous passenger station, when complete, will
iwenpy a superficial area of 16 acres.
LECTURE ON DRUNKENNESA.—The Rev. W. C.
fieborn, rector of the parish, delivered an address on the
above subject at Christchurch, West Fordington, on
Friday evening last. The Band of Hope choir was
present, under the care if Mrs. Colonel Bingham,
who presided at the harmonium The proceedings
c .mmenced bv singing "Hold the Fort," and the rev.
gentlemen offered prayer. After quoting various
passages id Scripture in support of the subject, he said
he should confine his rern.uks to the sin .4 drunken-
ness, and with drawing attention to the duty of
avoiding this ?mese. It was the minister', duty to
soon.' the alarm. Jehovah, in bye-gone days had
said " Sound an alarm in my Indy mountain." God's
word should be the foundation of all their principles.
Having an everlasting 'soul it behovel them to weigh
those things affecting their eternal welfare. Pressing
on his mind were many evil results of intemperance
which hail come under his notice, even since he had
been in this little parish. One serious &sae brought
before him 1011.1 that of a youth, son if a pious colonel
in the army. One day the colonel came to the
speaker and said "My son is a great sorrow tome;
last night be came home intoxicated and broke open
the il.e.r. I at once sent for a policeman. This
morning he was broiled lief ire the Bench. Shall I
pay the fine or let him go to prison r Osborn
advised the father to let the sentence, three months'
imprisonment, be carried out, thinking he would alone
in his cell, have time for reflection. On paying him a
visit on the second morning of his imprisonment he
insl him suffering from 4e-4,mm tremens, and as the
door swung open he sprang forward, vainly attempting
to make his escape. It was the most painful of inter-
views. With medical attention he got round amiin,
realised his position, an.l at the expiration if two
months he was, freed. After this he went on well for
a little while, but took to drinking again, and
eventually ended his slays in a lunatic asylum. How
careful they 'should be to avoid anything which would
lead to eueli terrible results. He hail intended to read
a portion of a sermon delivered by Sir. 11. Wilberforce
if. St. Paul's Cathedral. But time would not permit
It was well worth the t,nisal .if those who might
borrow or purchase it. 'That our countrymen should
carry drink to distant lands WM a national
and for this they would have much to answer for at
the Pay of Judgment. Amongst many other things
he must of necessity speak of one or two events which
had happened in our own neighbourhood. After
reading an abridged account of the killing of a police.
raad at Bere Regis, he said the papers were wrong in
calling it murder, as the man had not yet been tried,
it was not murder, but an allegment. This case was
only a sample; they would find if they read that horrid
paper the hue awl Cry many such occurrence& These
were perpetrated,
not in a land where war is raging,
but n Christian England a disgrace to the
name which it held among nations. Nine-tenths
of the crime was, in some way or other,
connected with drink. No doubt many in the union
brought poverty upon themselves by being addicted to
drinking. All this was, as it were, but drops of the
river of misery and crime running down their streets.
Let them, by all the powers with which God had
blessed them, try to stop this great evil. The money
spent in intoxicating liquors outstripped the revenue.
In conclusion the speaker said he trusted God would
give great strength to the advocates of temperance
who were going the length and breadth of our land,
and hoped those present would heartily join those who
were trying to keep down the great national sin. A
Working Mena' Institute bad been established at the
schoolroom, and he naked all who would like to im-
pro, e themselves in writing or any other way to join,
as he wished to get at least 100 members enrolled on
the books. " Rescue the perishing" was sung, and Mr.
Osborn closed the meeting with prayer. There was a
good attendance, composed mostly of the working
classes.

THE PROPOSED ABBOTSBURY RAILWAY.
A meeting, convened by the promoters of this
railway, wee held on Saturday at the Ring'a Arms
Hotel. There was a good attendance, and the Mayor
of Dorchester (Mr. Alderman Lock) presided, and
expressed his opinion that any enterprise which had
for its object the establishment of a railroad, deserved
the encouragement of the public.—We have already
reported the argumente used in support of this scheme
at length. They were necesaarily somewhat re•iterated
on Saturday : but the sreakers applied their remarks
far au po..ible to the beneficial effect which it
would have upon the town of Dorchester.

The Earl of fichester, it waa thought, would have
been present, hut he was not, and the chairman, Mr.
Passmore Edwards, of Bath, congratulated the meeting
upon having obtained the countenance of the elected
representative of the town.

and carried unanimously "That it was the belief of the
