EXETER. REPRESENTATION OF EXETER. —After
due oonsideration Mr. Coleridge has formally accepted
the invitation of the Liberal Association, given him on
Monday night, to stand as one of the candidates for the
representation of Exeter, in the Liberal interest, at the
next general election. The resolution of the Liberals
to have two candidates in the field is as politic as it is
plucky, whether they lose or win. They can now make
a fair stand up fight, and as a second candidate the
learned Q.C. will meet with general support.
EXMOOIt. STAG HUNTING. The Devon and
Somerset stag hounds have .commenced' meeting" on
Exmoor this season. The hounds are reported to be in
very fine condition, but it is questionable whether
they will have much apott this year, as the number of
stags is getting less year by year. Ever since 1598,
*gen Queen Elizabeth Bret opened stag hunting on
Exmoor, the" tallyho" has been heard intermittingly
to the present day. The large numbers that have
been killed within the last twenty or thirty years, to
"blood" the young hounds and afford some trophies to
the master, have so diminished the herd that ere long
the red wild deer will be as great a novelty on
Exmoor as a New Zealander in the streets of London.

poseible to imagine, and those nations which. unlike
Fromm, husvia,and Ainerioa,fonn no plans of conquest,
which alone are livid in cheek by England's navy, have
one and all the greatest interest in desiring it may
maintain its supremacy. Thus it forms the most power-
ful agent for • policy the contrary of sentimental, but
which, professing no object beyond the interest of Eng-
land, is the moat moderate and jiiscany great country
has ever followed. The policy of England lies not in
her forcing her will on others, but in upholding pease
and that good state of order which allow every other
nation to develope its resources and provide for its
welfare; it is this which redeems England from the
reproach of selikhoess, and renders her policy far better
for the world at largo than that which, placing Unit
forward Arnim champion of "ideas," fumes from the
nations it, assiats a dearly paid interest in exchange,

towards getting the affairs of the Dorchester Post.
office put on a more regular footiag. Numerous and
repeated are the errors and blunders made in the
transmission of letters. Only a few Sundays ago
the pillar letter boxes were not cleared at all. Last
night the bag with the Wareham letters were left
behind at the Dorchester office, and so it goes from
time to time, and until some great alteration is made
in the conduct of this office, so it will be. —Yours

A MODEL JURY LIST.

To the Editor of the Dorset County Express and
A griculturaZ Gazette.

Slll,—ln a parish not one hundred miles from the
Chronicle Office, may be seen this precious production
of legal and parochial skill and accuracy, and to which
I would call the inspection of the Revising Justices and
the parish officers in the district. The return of all
pampa within the parish in question who are liable to
serve on juries, and which must be sworn to as being a
true and perfect list, was made out for this year by
"The Old Lady," who has set down "resident" under
the oolnma for the parties' "calling or business"—left
one person's christian name in blank, whilst she bas
inserted the name of one respectable farmer not liable,
he not living in the parish. Whether "The Old
Lady" has perpetrated other mistakes or omissions
I cannot now atop to enquire, but ex uno disce omnes.

THE CORN TRADE.

The quality of the new samples of wheat is generally
reported to be of inferior quality, at the principal
country markets held during the week, and Is. to 2e.
per quarter lower priees have been submitted to. In
some planes we regret to learn the potato blight has
during the past fortnight made great progrices. In the
north a large portion of the corn has been got in in
good condition, while in the Midland districts the
harvest is being gradually brought to a close.
Manx lasi, Friday Evoning.—The wheat trade to-
day has been extremely quiet, with a small attendance
of buyer', and to effect sales lees money had to be
taken for anything under the finest descriptions.
Flour, equally dull. Barley about the same value as
on Monday. Oats dull, and quotations barely main-
Wised, Beans and peas steady. Arrivals: English and
Scotch wh.at, 1,220 qrs. ; barley, 440 qrs. ; oats, 170
qrs. ; foreign wheat, 36,710 qrs. ; barley, 11,270 qrs. ;
oats, 10,800 qrs. Flour, English, 810 sacks; foreign,
70 seeks, and 19,070 barrels.
BRISTOL, Thursday.—At our market this afternoon
there was a liberal supply of English wheat, and the
condition being but indifferent, values gave way la
to 2a. per qr. More inquiry for foreign, and prices
fairly supported. Grinding barley in limited demand,
and 6d. per qr. cheaper. Oats, both new and old,
maintain their value, supplies continuing but moderate.
Beans and Indian corn firm.
Lrviaroot, Friday.—The arrivals from Ireland and
coastwise since Friday have been insignificant. From
foreign ports we have received 16,141 quarters of wheat
The exports in the same time comprise 5,626 quarters
of wheat, 1,929 quarters of Indian corn, 810 sacks and
2,518 barrels of flour. The trade has been very quiet
during the past two days, the weather of late having
been very fine for securing the harvest in the North.
At this day's market there was a fair attendance of the
town and country trade and of buyers from the interior.
Wheat and flour were in moderate demand, at a trifle
under Tuesday's rates for good qualities, while anything
common or out of condition was difficult to move,
eseept at a farther material reduction. In oats and
oatmeal there was no change to note. Barley, beans, ,
peas, and Indian corn were in moderate demand for
feeding, at late rates.

THE WAR IN AMERICA.

General Jackson, tempted by his successes to
an aggressive policy, has passed into Maryland,
where he is on friendly soil, and where large
numbers of tl2e inhabitants are expected to flock
to his standard. General M'Clellan has again
taken the field. He left Washington with the
Federal Army in the direction of Northern
Maryland with a view of attacking the invading
Confederates. It is not known how large the
Confederate force is which has already crossed
into Maryland, but it is estimated at 60,000 and
100,000 men. The New York Evening Post
says that General Sigel'a division could have
prevented the Confederates crossing the Potomac,
but the Federal policy favoured the Confede-
rates entering Maryland for strategic reasons.
We suppose M'Clellan intends now to catch
"Stonewall" Jackson in a trap. With respect
to the management of the war, the New York
Times speaks out candidly. The following is the
most honest utterance we have heard from the
Northern States for many a day :—The summer
campaign, which was to have given us the rebel
Capital, has come to a disastrous end. Rich-
mond is relieved and Washington beseiged.
That magnificent army, organised and drilled
with so much care by M'Clellan a year ago,
repulsed that on the Peninsula, has been again
repulsed in its advance upon Richmond from the

THE FORDINGBRIDGE MURDER.

igi_itua

George Jacob Gilbert, 30, laborer, was plcuma at
the bar on Friday, in the Crown Court of the Assize.
hall, Winchester, before Mr. Justice Kent*,
charged With the wilful murder of Mary Ann Susan,
Hall, at Forclingbridge, on the 22nd June. He was
further arraigned upon the coroner's inquisition
charging him with tho same offence.
Mr. Prideanic and Mr. Cole conducted the prose-
man. Prisoner being undefended, Mr. Bere was
assigned by his lordship to be counsel for him. As
1 a natural consequence the Court and it. avenues
were much crowded, and great interest was mani-
fested in the case, especially as the morbid taste of
the public had been kept in suspense for many days.
Prisoner, when placed at the bar, at once settled
down into a look of composure, which he maintained
throughout the trial.
Mr. Prideaux opened the case on behalf of the
prosecution. He designated the case as one of
greatest importance alike to judge, jury, and the
prisoner. He was sure that they would enter upon
the case without any preconceived notions, and
calmly and dispassionately consider the evidence.
He was convinced that if the evidence was mini-
factory they would not forsake their duty, but find
him guilty. But if on the other band there was a
doubt in the case they would give the prisoner the
benefit of it, as was the duty of the Crown to make
' out beyond all doubta the guilt of the prisoner.
The learned counsel then referred to the plans shown
to the jury, and explained the scene of the murder,
and it. vicinity. The young lady into whose death
they were met to inquire, he said, left her father's
house on Sunday morning, the 22nd June, about
10 o'clock, for thfifurpose of proceeding to Fording-
bridge Churcii. a pmdthexe was no-dowhis that on

comfort te . them and her sorroiiing.- ,- and
that though she struggled and resisted even unto
the death, Abe tcaintained her honour inviolate, and
went to ber grave Alf pure end tmeallied as chi was
born. The question arose who was the person who
committed this most foul murder. . Ile believed that
after they had heard all the evidenee they stbuld
say that it was AO other. than , the prisoner-at the
bar. It was his duty to lay before them every
particular in connection, with the case, and as far se
his judgment was concerned, he thought he should
be beat doing his aluty in discarding all matters
which were not of essential importance. Ile trusted
they had not come with a preconceived opinion, and
tht they would simply be guided by the evidence

POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

COUNTY OF MONTGOMERY EutorrOir.—MONTGOXERT,
Monday.—The high !sheriff declared the state of the
poll for a representative for this county to-ley, in front
of the Town-hall, at Montgomery. The proceedings
were quite of a formal character. The numbers were
declared as follows:—Wynn (Conservative), 1,269;
Tracy (Liberal), 959; majority for Wynn, 310. After
the polling, on Saturday, the town of Llanidloes was
in a great state of excitement, and the homes of two
of Mr. Wynn's supporters were partially demolished
by a mob of navvies and miners. The Riot Act was
read, and a division of the Shropshire police was sent
for. The contest was a severe one. Both sides strove
with great determination, and the excitement of the
inhabitants of the whole county is without a paralleL
PROPOSED RECOGNITION or ma BOOTHS:RN CON-
FiDLRAOY.—A requisition, of which the following is a
copy, is now in course of signature in Blackburn, and
wilt be presented to the Mayor in the course of • few
days :—"We, the undersigned inhabitants of Blackburn
and the neighbourhood, deeply Imploring the unnatural
war now raging in the States of North America, the
awful destruction of life and property resulting there-
from, the misery and destitution thereby inflicted upon
the civilised world, and partionlmly upon the inhabi-
tants of this district; and feeding convinced tbet the
continuance of this unhappy strife will be alike ruinous
to the hostile parties, and to the vast population of
this district depending upon the cotton trade, and that
the Confederate States of North America have main-
tained their independence a sufficient length of time to
warrant Her Majesty recognising the existing Govern-
ment thereof: respectfully request you to call a public
meeting of the inhabitants of Blackburn to consider the
necessity of petitioning Her Majesty the Queen to take
immediate measures for the recognition of the Con-
federate States of North America. The requisition is
being largely signed.
Rochdale is indignant at the somewhat severe punish-
ment inflicted upon Mr. Cobden by the Premier in the
late encounter between these two spirited Parlia-
mentary pugilists. The conduct of Lord Palmerston
towards Mr. Cobden is described by the Reform Am-
cialion of RoohdaM as "extraordinary and unwar-
rantable," and Mr. Cobden is consoled with the assu-
rance that he has earned the warmest approval of the
association for having protested against the extravagant
expenditure of the country at the present time, when
economy is so greatly to be deans&

The MTSTERTOUS MURDER IN GLASGOW.—Tbs
pollee are still active in their endeavours to discover
the murderer of Jessie Macpherson, and on Tuesday
their tabours were partially successful, having tracel
a box containing clothing to • house in Hamilton,
whither it had been sent by railway by the prisoner,
Mrs. M'Lachlan. In this box, it is said, was found a
dress answering the description of one belonging to the
murdered woman. It will be remembered that, in the
bedroom where the body was found, in the large po-il
of blood on the floor the distinet print of • human foot
was discovered. This having dried and hardened the
portion of flooring it covered was taken up and pre-
served. It was found to be the imprint of a very
peculiar foot, and did not at all answer to that of the
deceased woman or the old man Fleming. With the
view of discovering whether the prisoner M'lskohlan's
foot could have made the mark on the floor on Tnesday
an impression of her foot was taken in blood on • hoard,
and it is stated that it exactly corresponds.

LITERARY NOTICES.

CRAMBIRS'a JOURNAL— Our readers need not to be
told that from London there is constantly issuing a
broad and deep stream of impure literature. We refer
to the penny novels issued weekly in small quarto and
octavo sheets. The views of human nature exhibited
in these productions, to the credit of human nature, be
it said, are more striking than true. All the bad
charaoters are represented as Moiling to the upper
classes of society. As soon as a Duchess or a Duke a
Lord, a Marquis, a Bishop, or a Judge, is introduced, the
reader may look out for the perpetrstion of some special
act of villany I The individual, whoever he or she he,
has all manner of tools selected (from the lower depths
of the lowest deep of society, ready to commit any
number of murders, to forge any number of letters or
wills, to perjure themselves any number of times;
and the machinations of such wicked persons are, of
course, always directed against virtue clothed n some
lowly, but lovely garb. Thousands and thousands
derive their views of life from these works. They are
their daily companions and teschers, and who can
calculate the amount of mischief which they are pro-
ducing? finch works are surely not the kind of mental
food which the working men and women, and the youth
of our country ought to have presented to them. And
yet how largely are they patronised by ro.nintie and
sentimental nursemaids, liousemsids, and cooks, and
Cyril by persons who ought to know better, but who
delight in witnessing the "pangs of despised love," and
suffering virtue generally, as exhibited in these weekly
periodicals. How much better would it be if these
readers would substitute this kind of literature fer
such publications as ChandieresJottrnal, in which the
beat writers of fiction and history address the public at
three•halfpence per week. We would earnestly urge
this upon the heads of families especially. The Tune
part, which is now before us, is en excellent number,
for while it contains many articles that am o fully as
interesting as the class of fiction which ought to be
shunned by every rational being, there is also much
from which one cannot rise from tbo perusal without
making them wiser and better prepared for the business
of life.

Tun BOOK OF DATIL—Our readers cannot fail to
base been both amused and instrected by the various
extracts which we have from time to time culled from
this work. it is published in monthly pasta for the
convenience of purchasers, but it will be as great a
favourite twenty years hence as a fireside companion
and book of reference, as it is to-day. The contents of
part 6th are as varied and interesting as its predecessors,
and would not require any great scope of the imagination
to predict that the Book of Days will become the most
popular of the Messrs. Chambers's popular publica-
tions.

LAW AND ORIIIR

A WHOLEMALI BICIAIIIST.—Winiam M. Ashford,
38, tailor, was on Monday charged at the Oxford
asaises with feloniously marrying Eliza Salt, at Mintage,
on the 14th of September, 1887, his former wife,
Elisabeth Ashford, being then alive. The prisoner
was also charged with feloniously marrying Elizabeth
Perryer, at Bath, on the 2nd of August, 1853, his
former wife then being alive. The prisoner pleaded
guilty to both indictments. Mr. Stavely Hill, who
conducted the prosecution, briefly stated the following
fads to the court. In July, 1845, the prisoner married
his first wife, Rosette Ryland, at Trinity Church, in
the parish of St. Mary, Newington. Shortly after, he
deserted her, leaving her with one child. On the 2nd of
August, 1853, he married, at Bath, his second wife,
Elizabeth Per9er. In 1854 or 1865 he married his
third wife' a girl named Jordan. In 1868 he married
his fourth wife named Ann Kalder, whom he married in
the named William Norman. In 1857 he married his
fifth wife, Elisabeth Salt, at Wantage, and after
vending all her savings he deserted her; and in
limper, last be married his sixth wife Elisabeth
Dunn, at et Helen's, Lancuthire. He deserted her,
and came to Oxford in May last, and paid attention to
a girl named Hall, and 1.1 another named Russell.
Wills the latter he was seen in Oxford by his Wastage
wife (his fifth, Elisabeth Salt) who gave him into custody.
At the suggestion of the judge Elisabeth Salt was called
into the witness-box, and stated that when the prisoner
courted her she was in service, receiving £8 a year;
that she bad saved I:4 10s., which the Prisoner Vent,
and deserted her. At the time of their marriage she
had not the least idea that he wait a married man.
The judge, addressing the prisoner, told him that, by
a series of most wicked frauds he had deprived his
victims of their honour, their character, and their
, little property. Under such circumstances he felt
compelled to pass upon him the heaviest sentence
which the law allowed, namely, that he be kept in
' penal servitude for seven rare. There was some
slight applause when the judge had pronounced the
sentence.

ILLUMINATION OF RICHMOND.-430IITHERN
ACCOUNTS OF TAB LATE BATTLES.

The Jura bring" intelligence from New York down
to July 7th. The Confederate General Magruder
has boen captured. General Jeckson'a death was
reported, but the intelligence is not confirmed.
Vicksburg has not been taken. The Federale have
captured the Confederate gunboat Teaser in James's
River. Richmond has been illuminated. The
ionthern papers claim that the Confederates have
motored 12,000 prisoners, all M'Clellan's siege guns,
and supplies aufficient to last the Confederate army
for three months. The Federal War Department
has ordered all returned prisoners, liberated on
parole by the Confederates, to report themselves
immediately, and they will be appointed to some
duty compatible with the parole. The newspapers
urge reoourse to drafting. General M'Clellan has
issued an address to the army declaring that the
Federal' should enter Richmond, and that the
union shall be preserved, no matter what the cost
of time, of treasure, and of blood. The correspon-
dent of the New York Times states that since the
evacuation of James's Island, the Confederates are
threatening Port Royal, in South Carolina, The
Governors of all the Union States have issued pro-
clamations for more troops. The Federal commander
before Vicksburg is employing his troops to cut a
canal across the land opposite the city, so as to
change the course of the Mississippi, and render
Vicksburg for ever an inland town. General
M'Clellan has bad another skirmish with the Con-
federates, being the third which has resulted in the
latter being forced to retreat. The Bavarian and
Glasgow took two-and-a-half million dollars in specie
on freight for Europe on the sth inst.
