NEW SOUTH WALES.

TEN &norm TILIGILAIIN IN Now SOUTH WALL.
—The slectrie telegraph is being rapidly developed in
New South Wales. As regards the interoolonial line
opened some time sines between Sydney, Melbourne,
and Adelaide, it appears that a second wire is being put
up upon the poste at present in use between Sydney
and Albury on the frontier of New South Wales. The
western line to Bathurst, extending nearly 120 miles,
was expected to be ready for messages in November ;
and the northern line, which will connect Maitland and
the Heater River district with Sydney, has been com-
pleted as fax as Wollombi, between which place and
Maitland them is a good road, so that there will be no
further hindrance to the completion of the work. The
Sydney Government have placed on the estimates for
MD the sum of SIb,COD for a line from Oandagai (on
tliD4iszresesit route to Albery). rid Wawa-wag/pi to
" to effect a mewed communication with the
✓'
an and Beath Australian stations at Echoes.
The new direct Adelaid line will, if carried out, follow
the Murray River to the nude= frontier of South
Australia, and will avoid Victoria altogether. It is
proposed to parchsee a line from Deuiliquin to &sham,
eonsernsted by a private company, mit is considered
desirable that the Government should have Um control
of it when the new communication eontemplated with
Desiliquin is establielhed. It is also intended to ask for
a vote of 125,000 for the extension of the western line to
Mudge*, and £46,000 for a line from West Maitland to
Moreton Bay yid Singleton, Stone, Marrureadi, Tam-
worth, Bendeemor, and Annidale.

ment Er tile city. The support which is thus given by
the flourisning and enlightened city of Glasgow to the

"WHAT HI • Q 0 ZZZZZ AT SCHOOLr—At the Wake.
field County Court, on Wednesday last, the Rev. James
Taylor, Head Master of Queen Elisabeth's Grammar
School, sued • Mr. Hall for the amount incurred by a
quarter's tuition of his two sons, and • quarter's notice.
The time for opening the school after the Christmas
variation was on the 21st of January. Mr. Hall had
given notice to Mr. Taylor at Christmas that his son
would leave at the end of the ensuing quarter. The
eldest boy left the school on the sth of April in the pre-
sent year; the youngest on the 21et of April. Mr.
Taylor said his quarter ended on the 25th of March,
and, the boys having remained at the school till the
middle of April, he now claimed for a quarter up to Mid-
summer, and also for a quarter's notioe. The Judge
said he thought Mr. Taylor would not be able to sustain
his claim. People did not always send their boys to
school to • given day. If he had given notioe for Mid-
summer, and his boy did not come home till the Ist of
August, he should not expect to pay for another half-
year. The Judge (to Mr. Taylor) : Did you ever in.
form Mr. Hall when your quarter ended? Mr. Taylor:
I should have felt it as necessary to inform him that
Saturday was the end of the week. (A laugh.) Ile
had been a schoolmaster 30 years, and all that time his
bills had been made to terminate the quarter on the 25th
of March. The Judge: Do you make any deductions
where the boys are sent to school beyoud the quarter-
day? Mr. Taylor.—No; he never made any deductions.
He never charged but for the quarter. Mr. Westmore-
land (who appeared for the defendant) : You see, your
Honour, the reciprocity is all on one side. (A laugh.)
Mr. Taylor said there was no school in the kingdom
where the 25th of March was not understood to be the
end of the quarter. Mr. Westmoreland : There is no
school in the kingdom where the master would insist
on such • claim except in Wakefield. The Judge : Do
you make any distinction in your charges between the
long and the short quarters? Mr. Taylor: No. The
Judge: Then you take the long with the short; it eats
both ways? Mr. Taylor said he considered it • great
injustice that he should be compelled to tale • boy
from Christmas to the middle of April as one quarter.—
His Honour considered that the plaintiff had not made
out his case, and gave • verdict for the defendant, with
costs.

CHINA.

All remains quiet at Shanghai and the other ports.
About 450 men of Her Majesty's 3rd Buffs and a com-

and are quartered in Canton.
A system for the free emigration of Chinese to the
West ladies has been orpoised by Mr. J. G. Austin,
the agent, it is understood, of the British Government.
It has met with the approval and co-operation of the
native authorities in Canton, and is likely to work well
under proper supervision, which will no doubt be pro-
From Japan accounts are more satisfactory. The cur-
rency question has been arranged on • fair basis, and
trade had commenced briskly at Kanagawa. The port

Consul.
A sad catastrophe has occurred near Cochin China.

AMERICA.

Another mail reaches us from the United States, and
yet no President's Message. The House of Representa-

and the Legislature is, therefore, as yet in an on-

'The most important news is that there have been
additional executions at Charleston, arising from the
'a Ferry revolt. The soldiers were again mus-
tered strength, and the peace was undisturbed. The
American papers have • long amount of the burial of
John Brown. His body was given up to his friends,
and wiled in geoesesion to his late residence. There it
was received by his family, amongst them the widows
of his two sons who fell at Harpees Ferry. Mr. WHins,
warstiary of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society, de-
livered an address, and teen the "old hero's" body was

A great pro-slavery meeting has been held at Boston
as a sort øl .et-off to the numerous demonstrations of an
opposite kind which took place immediately after the
szeseMon of John Blown. The persons who chiefly
signed "the call for the meeting" were merchants,
many, if not most of whom, had business connections
with the South. Es-Governor Lincoln presided. The

1 DORSET COUNTY MUSEUM AND

LIBRAItY.
The annual meeting of the subscribers took place
on Thursday last. The attendance, as is usual on
these occasions, was very small, the entire conduct of
the affairs of this institution being complacently left,
year after year, to some half-dozen gentlemen who
are kind enough to administer its affairs, both at the
general annual meetings and at the meetings of the
"Council." The treasurer, Mr. Herbert Williams,
wts voted to the chair, and there were also present
the Rev. C. W. Bingham, Dr. Cowden, Captain
Griffiths, Mews. Short°, NV Cosens, H. luck,
R. Davis, and W. Slade. The lion. Secretary, the
Rev. C. W. Bingham, read the following Report for
1559 . . . .

The Council has no very material alteration to report
as to the state and prospects of the Museum and
Library during the past year. It has experienced a
heavy loss in the decease of its active and intelligent
secretary, Mr. John Garland, F. 1.5., whose place, how-
ever, Mr. .1. T. Short*, an original member of the
Council, has kindly consented to fill. They have also
to regret the loss of their zealous antiquarian colleague,
Mr. Charles Hall, of Osmington. The Library has
been enriched by a valuable bequest from the late
learned and excellent Henry Walter, 11. D., and F. 118.,
'teeter of ilaxelbury Bryan, in this county, consisting
of the series of Transactions of the Royal Society from ,
the year 1520; and also by a set of the Annual Register,
complete to the year 1542, presented by Mr. Thoinu
Coombs. ISinations of foreign hinls have been made by
Captain Forst, r, of Wannwell, and by Miss Wynyard ;
and a rubbing from a line brass in Thunicombe Church,
has been presented by Colonel 11ragge, of Sadboro ; and
some Roman relr:s front the site of the new Central
Police Station. near the amphitheatre, have been received
front Mr. G. S. Gregory. A considerable number of iu'
term sting coins and other ancient articles have been pre-
sented by Mrs. John Garland. in compliance with the
wishes of her late lamented husband. The Council re-
commend that re stringent measures should be taken
for preventing the intrusion of unauthorised persons
into the reading-room and muse . They also beg to
remind subscribers that there is no provision in the
ruki I r any subscription for a shorter periml than a

MARK•LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

FRIDAY, DSc. W.—During the week, and fresh up
to-day, the arrivals of English wheat, coastwise and by
land carriage, have been on a limited scale. Alt:iough
the show of samples was only moderate, the demand
was far from active. However, fine dry wheat—both
red and white—commanded Wednesday's currency.
The show of foreign wheat was moderately extensive.
Considerable firmness was apparent on the part of im-
porters • but the transactions generally were much
restricted, at jata quastinns Over 50 vessels have ar-
rived off the coast since last, laden witl. grain:
The import' of foreign barley have been on an exten-
sive goals. Good and useful parcels changed hands
steadily, at fully previous rates; but other kinds were a
slow inquiry. New malt sold steadily, old parcels
slowly, on former terms. We had a good oonsumptive
demand for oats, at full prices. Beans, peas. and flour
maintained their previous value; but the demand for
them was by no means active.

A LAWTRR'S ORATION.—We remember once, when
• young man, living in Hampshire, they dedicated • new
bridge, and invited a young lawyer to deliver an oration.
The lawyer had never yet, after a fortnight's practice,
had the honour of being retained, and the opportunity
of establishing a reputation was admirable. The day
came, and with it to the bridge came the multitude and
orator. He had no written preparation, that being, he
had been told, unlawyer-like—a lawyer being supposed
to be capable of speaking without note or notice, any
number of hours, on any subject, in a style of thrilling
eloquence. So our orator trusted to the occassion. He
stood out upon the platform, and amid the profound
attention of his audience commenced:—' Fellow
citizens,— Five-and-forty years ago, this bridge, built by
your enterprise, was part and parcel of the bowling
wilderness !" He paused a moment. " Yes, fellow-
citizens, only live-and-forty years ago, this bridge, where
we now stind, was part and parcel of the howling
wilderness." Again he paused. (Cries of "Good, go
on.") Here was the "rub." "I feel it hardly necessary
to repeat, that this bridge, fellow-citizens, only five-mind
forty years ago, was part and parcel of the howling
wilderness; and I will conclude by saying that I wish
—I wish it was part and parcel of it now.

WASHINGTON IRVING AND WARRINGTON.— But Mr.
Irving had himself men General Washington. He said
there was some celebration going on in New York, and
the General was there to participate in the ceremony.
"My nurse," continued Mr. Irving, " • good old
Sootchwoman, was very anxious for me to see him, and
held Inc up in her mins as he male past. This however
did not satisfy her ; so the next day, when walking
with me in Broadway, she espied him in a chop ; she
seized my hand, and darting in, exclaimed in her bland
Scotch, 'Please your Excellency, here's a bairn that's
called after ye General Washington then turned his
benevolent face full upon me, smiled, laid his hand upon
any head, and gave we his Messing, which," added Mr.
Irving, earnestly, " I have reason to believe has at-
tended tue through life. I was but live years old, yet
I can feel that hand even now."

Bouncompagni on entering the Tuscan territory. He
declares that be rests his dignity on the appointment by

the Romagna, as Aimee. He points to the promise of
the Emperor of the French that the work of Italian
national independence shall not be prevented by foreign
intervention, and proclaims the IMMO of Napoleon 111.
as one that will be immortal in history. He speaks of
the European Congress about to assemble as destined to
repair the evils that were done in 1815. He recom-
mends temperate councils, unity of will, and unshaken

HOW TO EVADI TRZ FORBTA MACKIN= ACT.—The
Edinburgh folks have disoovered how to drink whisky
on Sundays without incurring the penalties of the
Forbes Mackenzie Act. A club is formed. The mem-
bers are admitted without ballot by paying 2s. admis-
sion fee. Each member can introduce two friends.
They have a club-master at • salary. The police were
ordered to enter the club, and they were refused admis-
sion. WArthur, the club-muter, was summoned, but
Sheriff Mallard decided that the polies had no right to
enter • club.

A SINGULAR lIRTING.—A meeting of four ancients
took place on Monday evening week at a tea-party in
the house of • gentleman near to the village of Torrance
of Commie, whose united ages amount to 356 years.
Their several ages are as follows :—Widow lady, 96; a
bachelor, 88; widow lady, 86; and the youngest of the
four, • spinster, also 85. The bachelor and spinster
are brother and sister, and keep house together ; the
two widow ladies have lived next door to each other for
forty years, and all the four live within a quarter of •
mile of each other; and what is very remarkable, non.
of them have ever travelled beyond the boundary of the
pariah of Camped, except twice, and that only for • few
miles. They are all in good health, and walked on foot
to the party, although the roads were covered with
snow and ice, and they enjoyed themselves heartily,
creaking their jokes, mid telling stories of courtship in
early days. The spinster was armed in • red woollen
or duffle petticoat, worn by her grandmother on her
wedding-day 125 years ago. She says it has been re-
peatedly worn by the members of her family during the
loot century and • quarter, and as the garment is still in
excellent condition, it must originally have been made
of splendid stuff—superior, we suspect, to anything
found in these degenerate days of crinoline.

METROPOLITAN C&ITLE ILkRKET.

Trttritatiav, Dr.c. 29.—0n1y a limited supply of
beasts was on offer in to-day's market. Prime breeds
were in fair request, at full quotations; otherwise
the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at Monday's
currency. Prime sheep were very scarce, and in
demand, at full prices. Long-wools commanded
very little attention. The few mine in the market
were disposed of without difficulty, at extreme rates.
In pigs, only a limited amount of business was trails-
acted; and milch cows were very dull.

WHAT'S TO SI Dose WITH THZ Pope'—At • meet-
ing of sympathy with the Pope, Mr. W. Mousell, M.P.,
in a discursive address which occupies more than two
columns, dealt with the question of the Pope's tem-
poral power:--" Now, with regard to the point put for-
ward in the resolution which I have read, that in the
present state of the world we look upon the temporal
dominion of the Pope as necessary to the good adminis-
tration of the Catholic Church, there can be, I think,
no difference of opinion. Statesmen and senators of
different countries, and at different periods of history,
have maintained its necessity, and those persons most
be entirely and absolutely ignorant of what the office
of the Sovereign Pontiff is who deny that proposition.
(Hear, hear.) How could he keep his watchful eye over
all Christendom; how could he arrange with regard to
the appointment of bishops, the sending forth of mill.
sionariee, and the decision of gumboils respecting reli-
gion and morals; how could he do all these things, and
ao them impartially and well. if he were the subject of
any Sovereign? (Hear, hear.) And also, gentlemen,
let me ask you this question,-11 you take the Pope's
territories from him, where would you put him? Would
you put him, for instance, in France, where, only • few
months ago, the Emperor of the French—the chun
of liberty in Italy, forbad the pastorals of the Bishops
to appear in the public journals? (Hear, hear.) Would
yon place him in Austria, the benumbing influence of
which upon the intelligence of the age has been referred
to by my noble friend, with whose observations I en-
tirely agree? (Hear, hear.) Would you place him in
Russia—in the territories of the persecutor of the Polish
nuns! Would you place him in this new Italian king-
dom which some people wish to establish? Why, the
first act of the Provisional Governments in Florence and
Bologna was to suppress a number of religious orders,
to throw insult on religion, and to control the clergy in
the exercise of their spiritual functions. Would we,
living in Ireland, be satisfied that our intercourse with
his Holiness should be rendered liable to interruption
by placing him under the control and influence
of persons animated by such principles as those
which the astir of this provisional government have
indicated up to the present moment, when, be it re-
membered, they are on their good behaviour." (Hear,
hear.)

Dorchester, July 29th, 1660.
SlE,—Your readers who have grown a really good
crop of Trifoliuna, will have had auiple proof of its
value, but there are many others who scarcely
know this plant, even by name. I will therefore
just mention, that as an early green crop, it is not to
be rivalled. It will not be refused by any kind of
, stock. It is excellent fur horses, cows, sheep, or
pigs, all of which, and even poultry, will devour it
greedily ; and this will not be wondered at when the
sweetness of the plant is considered. It will also
be found a healthy food, and very nourishing' it
will generally be lit for feeding much earlier than
tares, SAKI will produce a greater weight per acre;
iudeed, I know of no crop that will in the spring
produce so great a weight of good food per acre;
and although it is generally considered& very doubt-
ful crop, I think it will prove very safe and exceed.
iugly valuable, if proper care be safe,
in its
culture. Then, the number of every kind of
stuck that may be kept on a few acres is
perfectly astonishing.
This is a plant that requires peculiar management,
and much IlepelnlS Upon the solidity of the soil on
wbich the seed is sown; and this solidity must be
obtained by rolling or treading before the seed Ai
deposited, otherwise it will not germinate properly.
This is not generally known, which will in some
measure account fur the many failures and want of
plant. I have known the seed remain in the ground
the whole wiuter, and on the land being ploughed
in the spring, it has come up as thickly as it ought
to have done iu the fall of the year. If the land is
clean and light, it should be scarigial only fur
trifolium ; but if it is foul, or heavy, it should be
ploughed very shallow, and well worked and rolled.
When it has been made as Gnu as possible, it should
be sown with trout 2olbs. to 3Ulbs. of seed per acre,
which should be worked in, care being taken to use
very light tackle" for this last operation, so as not
tat disturb the soil below the immediate surface,
iuch care and
fir success mainly depend upon great solidity
nate quickly. After
of soil, with a surface sufficiently light to enable the
readily SUM that this is correct, when the sweetness
of the plant is takeu into consideration. From this
cause it always utters a dainty breakfast and supper
