TO THE ELECTORS O!_THE COUNTY OF

DORSET.

GENTLEMEN,_
HAVING been solicited to allow myself to be
put in nomination for the approaching Vacancy
in the County representation, I beg to offer myself as
a Candidate for that honour.
It is admitted that the Measures to be submitted to
the present Parliament are more likely to deal with
social than with political questions of a party nature,
add the principle upon which I appeal for your sup-
port is this, that the claims of the agricultural intermit,
which is so important in this County, will be beet
served by a Representative drawn from the class of
Tenant Farmers, this principle has been already acted
on in a few Counties, and does not imply any antago-
nism between Landlord and Tenant. The raid interests
of the two are one and the same; but each has his own
views, and those interests will be best secured by a
clear expression of them by each. To express' the
views of the Landlords you have already two County
Members; for those of the Tenants you have no one,
and it is for that purpose I appeal for your support.
The experience of a life devoted mostly to agricul-
tural interests and trade, the effort,' which I have made
to advocate them at the Central Chamber of Agricul-
ture, and the knowledge which I have gained there
will, I hope, entitle me to your confidence.
I am strongly of opinion that many of the burdens
which are now borne by Local Taxation should be
equally borne by all property, and any well-considered
mesaure for that purpose should have my hearty assist-
ance. I could not support the abolition of the Game
Laws, but would vest in the Tenant the control of

Game

ground game.
I am in favour of the Education of all classes in any
way short of direct compulsion, which seems to me to
interfere with the due liberty of the subject.
Should you do me the honour to elect me as your
Representative, I should give an independent support
to the present Government, and make it my special
object to further the interests of the County.
I am, gentlemen,
Your most obedient servant,
ROBERT FOWLER.

BRISTOL THURSDAY.—We had a full average
supply of beef at to-days market, but trade was
extremely quiet, and a good deal was left in the pens
unsold. Pnees, however, remained firm, best samples
changing hands at from Bos to &ss, and middling sorts
from 705 to 75s per cwt. Mutton was in short supply,
but with the limited demand it proved amply sufficient
to meet the wants of buyers. Best weathers fetched
from soi to sod per lb , and heavy ewes from Bcl to 94.
The milch cow trade was unusually dull, and in the
store cattle department business was almost nil There
were 1,000 pigs on offer, and they were in good
request, bacmt pigs fetching Its 94, and porkers from
las to las od per score.
BIRMINGHAM TutrasnAY.—There was a good
supply of very useful beasts on offer; the beef trade
ruled slow, at a shade easier prices. Sheep were a
moderate supply • trade by no means active. Fat pigs
a fair supply; trade steady. Beef, 7d to 9d per lb. ;
mutton, 94 to lid; veal, 64 to 2d: bacon pigs, lon'
sd to us 6d per score; porkers ditto, his 64 to 126.
DUBLIN, Tlll'iiSliAY.—There was an increase in
the supply of i,086 cattle and 1,842 sheep, with 13
veal calves. This increase is of no significance, as the
previous market was an exceptional one ; in fact, this
day's supplies were below the average, that of sheep
being remarkably small. Within the last few weeks
grass-fed cattle have been disappearing, to be re-placed
by stall-fed. To-day there were only a few odd lots
of the former, and their sale was generally unsatis-
factory. There was a very crowded attendance of
buyers, and a very active demand for everything
deserving the name of beef or mutton. In most
instances prices' were considerably higher, and alto-
gether the tone of trade was good. Beef, first quality,
75s to Sos ; second class, 675 to 721 ; inferior, 3s to
63s per cwt ; wether mutton, gd o 514 ; ewe ,ditto,

PISSED LOSS OP TWO DOSSEISHUIS WWI.

Another great maritime disaster has occurred in St.
George's Channel, involving a loss of no fewer than 21
lives. The steamer Dante, owned by Messrs. Glover
Brothers, of London, sailed from Liverpool on a voyage to
Bombay on Wednesday last, with a crew of 27 hands all
told, and two other persons, who were either paaxengers
or the doctor and purser. She was under the command of
Captain Buchanan, and her Liverpool agents were Messrs.
Stoddart Brothers, of Water-street. About midnight she
had passed the Smalls, and wag between that point and
the Twitter Light. The watches were being changed,
when the red light of an approaching vessel was seen to
starboard. The night was dark and cloudy, and there was
a strong breeze from the south-west, with a good sea on.
The helm of the steamer was ported, but in • short time
she was run into by the vessel, which proved to be the
Norwegian barque Gronsvair, bound for Liverpool The
Dante WAS struck amidships, on the port aide, and such
was the force of the shock that she sank seven minutes
afterwards, The chief °dicer and three men clambered
on to the bows of the barque, and the others were either
carried down with the steamer or were left struggling in
the water. The second engineer was picked up four hours
afterwards, floating on a spar. The captain, chief engineer,
and a fireman were discovered clinging to a lifeboat of
the Dante after eight hours immersion. All these men
were taken on board the barque, which put out boats to
search. The survivors were brought to Liverpool. The
Gninsvair was injured but slightly. The Dante was a
vessel of 1,743 tons and 1,300 horse power, and was built
in 1874 by Messrs. J. Sof they and Co. She was valued at
=OOO, and ths value of her cargo was between £93,000
and £lOO,OOO.
We exceedingly regret to have to add that there is
too much reason to fear the two unknown passengers
spoken of in the above report as having 'been lust,
were Mr. Beardmore, son of Mrs. Rayne, of Fording-
ton, and Mr. Miller, of Upwey, with whom he contem-
plated making a trip to India.
(Prom a Correspondent.)
The only son of Mr. Miller, who is so much respected
at Upwey, and all over the neighbourhood, wag on
board the steamer Dante, which WAS sunk in collision
with a barque on the 29th ult. Every one who knows
Mr. Miller sympathises with him in his intense
anxiety until it is known whether there is any hope
of the young man having been among the saved.

TUILKIMI ATROCITY.

The lierzegovin;:p-pec—Tarcorres---po-u-tie-nt of the Gales gives
the following details of the atrocity which distinguishes
the Turkish colliers and their leaders in the Herzegovina:
—'After each defeat the Turk* in their mud rcge avenge
their discoupleture to tin. gefencless iiiltahigauts, and
'particularly on women. Demoralisation was always a
fault of the Turkish soldier% and it has now reached its
lowest level. The commander-, seem :Lfraid to hold in their
subaltern% and, as they are not able to maintain discipline
among the troops, which complain openly ,pf being badly
tresoed, and begin to protest against the incapacity of
their commander% they endeavour to supress the disaffec.
thin of the soldiers by allowing them to indulge hp all
kinds of cruelty and tuasswtre. Near Vassoevich some
Turkish soldiers recently dishonoured seven women, who
were gathering brushwood, and in order to conceal their
rrim Lihati 91 01 LhOlss. in tl.m outs.,, hi Lima some
Turks took • away a baby fhom"his toother, cut him in
'pieces in presence of his mother, whom they afterwards
gilled as being the wife of an insurgent. Two women
have been thrown into the river Lints, and an entire
battalion eased with delight at these two unhappy victims
struggling with death. At tiokular sotuo Turks have taken
live girls from the best Christian families, and sent them
to Muster in order to sell them there."

PROPOSZD ALTERATIONS IN Si. JOHN'S Clll.llCll.—At
vestry meeting on Wednesday last week, Mr. G. I 'rickmay,
of Weymouth, produced a plan for the intended re seating
of St. John's church. The vestry was attended by the
vicar Rev. T. A. Ottley, Capt. A. Scriven all.i Dr Allen
McLean (churchwardens), Mr. S. Smith, Mr. T. Wilke,
Mr. Case, Mr. Kendall, Mr. 11. Russell, Capt Haim
((Queen's harbour-master), Mr. Ash, Dr. Parsons, Dr. Rae,
Mr. T. Radcliff, Mr. John l'atten, and Mr. W. 114 borne.
The plan included a centre aisle of lit. rfin. wide, and two
side aisles by the north and south walls, of lit. tin. wide
each, the seats to be Lin. wider than the present ones, and
2.ft, lOin, high, reducing them about lit. Ain., with dote
of Yin, from the perpendicular, and tft. Lein. wide. The
seats are to be lowered 2in., and made hollow, likes
Windsor chair—The Vicar proposed that the plan he
approved of, and forwarded to the cominittee.—Capt
Rains seconded.—Capt. Scriven proposed "that the nine-
sittitut pews be divided ray an elbow, as in a first-class
railway carriage,into six and three sittings, alternately,"
for the convenience of those who have large and small
families that regularly attend the church. Capt. Scriree
said Portland people were very particular about their
sesta, and if they paid quarterly they would like them
made comfortable: but if six ridiculously stout women
filled up the nine seats, there would be no room. The
Portland people like their sittings kept private.- Dr.
Parsons seconded the amendment ; but only two voted
for it, and Mr. Crickmay's plan WWI to be prepared,—la
answer to Capt. Scriven, Mr. l:rickniey said the costs .e.l
the warming apparatus and tiller; would be about 440.

v V 15 YEARS' SUFFERING.—SIR,--It Ii with
pleasure I inform you of the wonderful benefit I have
received from Dr. KING'S DANDELION AND QUININE
PILLS after 15 years of suffering. I tried every other
remedy for Biliousnemi and a weak Digestion. Mr
own most clever doctor said I shoukl never be cured
without Blue Pills or Calomel; but I dared not take
Mercury, it always weakens me so. I again say I
have tried all advertised Bilious Pine, but they hays
served me as Mercury does. I feel that Dr.
Pills have so wonderfully restored me that I publicly
acknowledge it. I can now drink Ale or Stout, and •
few months back could not take either. I ardently
beg every one I know to give them a trial, they are so
mild and gentle.

THE CORN TRADE.

SALISBURV FRIDAY.—The corn market was in-
active. There was a small supply of English wheat,
and the trade ruled slow ; prices, however, exhibited
no alteration, Foreign wheat sold quietly at late
values. Flour was dull of sale for all descriptions, at
late prices. The market was quiet for both grinding
and malting barley. Oats were firm, but business was
limited. Maize remained steady. Beans and peas
were held firmly, but little was done,
LIVERPOOL FRIDAY.—OnIy a limited business
was done in wheat, but the market closed very firm at
the full rates of Tuesday. Flour unchanged. Beans
6,1 per quarter dearer. Peas also in sellers' favour to
about the same extent. Oats quiet. Indian corn in
moderate request, and little changed for old.
WAKEFIELD FRIDAY.— I he Christmas holidays
still interfere with the grain trade, which is character-
ised by inactivity in all its branches. There is no
alteration to quote in the price of wheat and barley,
which changed hands slowly at late rates. Other
articles steady.

place three lay 4 back between Mr. !Alburtis, an English-
man, and a Spaniard, the Marquis de &Raga, both living
at Biarritz. They went to Vera, a Spanish village on the
frontier, near Sam, occupied by the Carlists. According
to the conditions of the combat, the adversaries exchanged
shots at 31 paces, but without result The second VIM
fired at 15, and M Soirees fell dead. The encounter is
attributed to various reasons, but the most probable
seems to be that Mrs. Lilburne had forbidden the Marquis
to appear in her drawing-room on account of something
he had said. The deceased, only 35, was the son of the
Duke de Rocca, who occupied • principal post near the
person of Don Carlos.

THE decorations of the church are very appropriate.
The Misses Furmedge, assisted by Mr. Hawker, of the
Rectory, and Mr. Higgs, of Nottington, were foremost in
the good work, of which the following are the principal
features :—the words over the entrance of the communion
are "Thou art the King of Glory, 0 Christ," at the north
entrance "God is Love." and on the north wall "Thou
shalt call his name Jeuis," in white letters on a red ground
edged wity ivy, and inside the communion rails was "Thy
Kingdom come." The pillars supporting the arches were
encircled with wreaths of ivy, and sprigs of holly and
other evergreen were disposed about the remainder of the
church; the pulpit and reading desk had bands of laurel
leaves on a red ground. The whole had a very pretty
effect —The anthem sung in the morning of Christmas
D.iy was taken from Luke ii., 10, 11, 14, "Behold I bring

THE ELEVATION OF MR. RTURT.
To the Editor.

Nobody grudges Mr. Gerard Sturt's . elevation to the
peerage, lens than myself. lam indeed inclined to the
opinion that the seine measure should be meted to our
legislature, which they have Unposed on other candidates
for public offices, and that they should .undergo, at any
rate a qualifying, if not a competitive examination, before
assuming the honours either of the Upper or Lower Houle
—s test which might possibly be a little inconvenient to
some of the present claimants for our suffreas ; but, as
matters stand, I cannot deny that • high-born, genial.
popular, and wealthy county Member, who has served his
party well, and sensibly for so many years, may fairly
ask to be delivered from all the botheration and expense
of electioneering, if he sets his heart upon it.
Nor can I say that Mr. Sturt's title of Lord Ahngton,
though I have always seen it spelled with the double L,
appears to me to be an ill-chosen one. I must, however,
venture to challenge the statement that he is the sots
representative of the Barony of Allington of Wymondley
in Herta, extinet in Itai I have no extinct Peerage
at hand at present; but unless I am much mistaken, Lord
Allington had other daughters besides Catheriae, who
married Mr Sturt's ancestor, Sir Nathaniel Napier, and
amongst then, Elizabeth, who tuarried lot, Lord Seymour,
of Trowbridge, and secondly Sir John Ernie, Chancellor
of the Exchequer, having families by both. By the
former she MIA mother of the sth and 6th Dukes of
Somerset, from whom, I believe, the Dukes of Northumber-
land and Buckingham, are both descended; and probably
a little further research would discover many others, who
could claim equal descent from Lord Allington, with Mr.
Stud.
