that in the Forest of Dean, where formerly there bad
been very great persecution. The proposed amalgama-
tion between the Bible Christians and New Connexion
Methodists wu also ventilated. It appear' that the
former haws illations principally it the &loth and West
of Ragland, and foreign missioes in Canada and
Australia, while the New Connexion Methodists have
home stations in the North, and foreign missions
amongst °then in Chins, and it is proposed to amalga-

of the chapel sang some mia.ioo picots, and the meeting
payed off well, although the oolleations, a little over

EITIOANGS 811•411/A01.—It ía feared that some vessel
emeroying cattle hag bean in distress, or has met with
resident near our mast, for the ma hes been in more
mess than one giving up the bodies of landunimale.
On Wednesday meek the caresses of two bullocks were
washed ashore at St. Alban's Head, three were cad up
at Eimmerldes, and one at Langton. near Abbotabury.
Next day the emetitard at Worbarrow discovered the
bodies of three bullocks and • hog on the shore. The
whole of thug carrion was buried bY the ceasigoard near
this different places where they wets found, in quicklime,
and in one ease the circus had to be out in pieces in
order to enable it to be removed to ignitable spot where
It *odd be interred. On Friday afternoon, a Imes
bullock was washed on shore at the cliff. at Clay Horse,
and on Saturday two others were cast op near the
village of CheeiL The brash men ripped open the earmark
of the first and extracted the fat, and on the return of
the tide the whole was carried off to sea again, and
sunk. The animals are supposed from their shape to

H.H.S. BOIIIOAWEN.--8421100 this noble vassal and her
intending lads were removed from Southampton Water
to Portland Beads, the Hampshire people here tried
every MOMS in their power to procure her return to
their port. Even libellous and utterly fable assertion,
somehow got into eirmiletioe connecting Weymouth
Backwater with Portland Beads in a way thst showed
the writer was either ignorant or wilfully opposed to
the truth. The unrivalled position of Portland Roads
however, triumphed over all, though "neither
theatre nor singing saloon" is to be found on the Port-
lead shore—the authorities however, might think that
rather a recommendation, considering that the company
me amuse themselves so well so board, and, instead
of having to seek for questionable associates, have
highly respeotable friends to visit them on desk. The
Liberal Government have been requested to order the
! removal, there being perhaps • hem that, out of mere
I opposition, they might net In • oonirary manna to
I their predecessors. But our Liberal member, H.
Edwards, Req. with his constant watehfolness for the
good of the town, has seen the importanoe of retaining
the Bosonwen at Portland, and we le•rn from • letter
from time "That • rather pOwerful deputation from
Southampton presented thernwelros at the Admiralty
on Saturday, and urged their lordships to send the
Boamereu training ship to Youteempton ; but I am
pleased to inform you, without the remotest charm of
gnome& Their lordships are so thoroughly convinced
as to the salubrity and healthiness of Portland rtation,
and that none better could possibly be found, that they
are quite content to let well alone."
