"THE FIFTH."

We understand that a meeting of the Borough
magistrates was held on Thursday evening last, when
in answer to a largely signed memorial it was decided
not to interfere with a properly conducted torchlight
procession through the streets of the town. About 50
of the young men, we believe, have formed themselves
into a vigilance committee, and anyone who miscon-
ducts himself, will at once be pounced upon by one of
these amateur specials. This is as it should be, and
shows a determination on the part of the moving
spirits to prevent any unseemly disturbances. No
one need therefore feel at all nervous or fancy his
house will be burnt about his head. The usual
"squibbing" (pyrotechnical not political) will probably
take place at Poundbury. We append the following
letter, which we think will show the magistrates their
decision is in accordance with the views of the inhabi-
tants generally :

A TRAGEDY IN LIVERPOOL.

A shocking tragedy occurred in Uverpool on Friday
morning. From what can be at present learned, a
man, named Kelly, and a man unknown were
quarrelling about religion, Kelly being • Catholic and
the other a Protestant, when Kelly drew a large
sailor's knife and plunged it into the back of the neck
of the other disputant. The police were called in, and
the knife taken out of the Inane neck ; but he died a
few minutes afterwards. Kelly was taken into
custody, and made a statement to the effect that they
quarrelled about religion but that he did not know the
man he WO murdered. Kelly is an elderly wan. He
had formerly followed the sea, and has been in
America. There appears to he no reason beyond that
stated for the oommiesion of the foul deed. The knife
was driven to the hilt in the deceased's neck, and, must
have been struck with great force,

On Tuesday morning a boat was seen off Osmington
Mills drifting, by a fisherman named Frank Champ,
who went to it, and found a boy in it, andthat it was a
eia .axed boat belonging to some vessel, at Portland
Roads. 'I he lad wax wet, and said he went off from
Weymouth, on Monday night with his captain at 12
o'clock, to his vessel in Portland Roads. When they
got there the captain got on board, but some way the
painter of the boat shpped the vessel, and he drifted
about till the next morning hewed picked up by the
fisherman. Ile had his bag with some clothes in the
boat. A coastguardsman by the name of Smithe, and
Frank Champ, from 016111111gt011 Mills, took the boat
and the boy to the officer of customs at Weymouth.
The boys name is not known, or the name of the
vessel, it seems the boy's statement in not correct
about his going off with the captain. It is supposed
that the boy got in the boat by night to go ashore and
leave. the vessel, as he had his bag of clothes with him,
but finding the boat was too much for him to man
himself, drifted till he was picked up. as he would not
tell his name or what vessel he belonged to.

THE WAR.

REJECTION OF THE PROPOSED ARMISTICE

rif -ifUif.4ii:

It was decided to offer an armistice of six months'
duration, under the conditions that the influx of
the Russians into fiends should be stopped, and that
the Powers would hold themselves responsible for
the cessation of hostilities. On the other hand, the
Turks would bind themselves to carry out their own
programme .4 reforms within that period.
Rived& has communicated to the Powers by means
.4 despatches adasessed to her ambasaidors, that,
influenced by different reasons, she feels unable to
approve the propored six months' armistice, and she
must on this behalf persist in England's proposal,
whose conditions could be protracted if the course of
negotiations should render it necessary. Count
Alli I ramylimacce pted the proposal "only pro v isionally,"
as he is reported to have said. Therefore a six months'
armistice will under no conditions be established.
Russia, demands that an armistice of six weeks'
. . .

duration shall be imposed upon the belligerents. She
, thus reverts to the proposals made by England to
Turkey, which were supported by the other Great
Powers.
It is semi-officially stated that the English and
French Governments are of one mind not to consent to
a foreign oocupati it of the Turkish province.. Several
Russian steamers at Odessa, bound for abroad, have
Lion ordered to stay in poi t. At Gabitz large Russian
purchases have been made of timber suitable for river
rafts.
Advice. from Constantinople state that Turkish
statesmen are all inclined to peace, but not with
lis-
honour. MOst of them are agreed that if foreign
pressure becomes intolerable to the independence of
the Government, they might prefer to maize separate
terms with Turkey's arch enemy, &Mill. as Mahmoud
Paella intended under the reign of Abdul Aziz.

W ARXIWILL.
HARVEST FESTIVALS, in One ahapo or another, have
become such permanent institutions in most of our towns
and villages, that their record is but a repetition of the
doings of any past year still it is well to record them
annually, if only to show that there is no abatement of
the thankful seal with which they wore first started.
Certainly no abatetuent of zeal was apparent at the annual
harvest festival held in the secluded village of Warmwell
on Wednesday, the 27th of September. The daY's
tille began with a special thanksgiving service in the
Ed:church at 2 p.m., and it would have been hard to
better arranged or more hearty service, whether we
regard the part taken by the crowded Congregation, or the
choir, or the Rector, Rev. E. P. Cambridge, by whom
the service was conducted, and the sermon preached from
Ruth li, part of verge 12--" Where hart thou gleaned
to-day." After the sermon a collection, amounting to
.£2 sz, was made on behalf of the County Hospital.
The church was profusely and most tastefully decorated
throughout with flowers, wheat, bark, nata, and maw
In various foams and devices. We can ouliglrticularise
the font, the special work ef the Rector's edaughter
mei Eliza P. Cambridge, and the ems* window shell, the
latter being filled with beautifully green moat upon which
"The bread of life " appeared in large white letterS, mg
off with interspersed blooms of Libitum len&fefir&s. and
the whole bordered with dahlia blooms. The general
work of decoration was carried on by Kn. and she wine
E. P. Cambridge. After service an exhibition of vegetables
grown by the Warmwell cottager', was had in oolongs
schoolroom. The vegetable' were an the whole •

THE WAR.

We hear from a correspondent at Berlin that
England has formally made a proposal for a con-
ference on the Eastern question. A t'orrerpon•
(lent at that capital thinks that although the
negociations for a conference are proceeding there is
little probability of Its assembling. All the Powers
except Germany are agreed upon this conference, but
Russia, it is said, has only consented on the under-
standing that no representative of the Porte shall be
admitted. Germany's decision, it is believed in semi-
official quarters, will be dependent on the action
taken by France. Besides the question whether
Turkey should be represented M the Conference,
another difficulty is felt at Vienna with respect to the
two revolted provinces, Servia being a vassal state,
while the independence of 'Montenegro has always
been acknowledged by Austria. From this quarter
also it is reported that the Conference negotiations
had !proceeded as far as the question of a programme,
but the task of drawing out one has been declined by
Count Andramy. A Correspondent at Belgrade
telegraphs that while these negotiations are
going on and while M. Ristitch is talking to the
consuls about peaceful intentions Prince 11tilan is
present at the ceremony (performea by the archbishop)
of consecrating a new battery of Artillery. Russia
has sent into Servia a coinpletc apparatus and staff
for field telegraphy, and it is thought that in the '
event of the Porte finally declining to grant n month's
armistice the Russian occupation f Bulgaria would
immediately follow.
The suspension of hostilities between Turkey and
Montenegro. which was reported last week to he
Imminent. is now announced to have been agreed
upon until the conclusion of a regular armistice, and,
under certain conditions, as to supplies to Turkish
troops. It is said that this result is flue to the efforts
of Mr. Monson, the British Consul General at Pesti).
Our correspondent at Ragusa, however, reports that
fighting had been going on from Thursday to Saturday
last, and he represents that the armistice was just on
the point of being Agreed on when the last reported
engagement took place.

KENEALY AT DERBY: A SINGULAR
EXHIBITION.

The Tichborne Committee having invited Dr
Reneely to Derby, he entered the town about 310 on
Friday afternoon. The procession consisted of a band,
a man on horseback, a hack cab containing Dr.
Kenealy and • friend, Arthur Orion's son on the box,
and • covered conveyance with the "committee." In
this state they paraded the principal streets, which
were tolerably well filled with market people, who, in
rosponse to the calls of the committee, set up derisive
cheers, which was gravely acknowledged by the
"doctor." The affair was generally treated as a farce,
and when the party alighted at the Royal Hotel they
were received with a few cheers, followed by groans
and laughter. Dr. Kenealy afterwards add a

TRAMPS.

Our own tramps are idle, worthless, and sometimes
ruffian] "cadgers," who, upon occasion, would not be
about appropriating the linen which they
Lund on a hedge, or the poultry which might stray
from farm yard, to say nothing of the hares and
pheasants which they anare in the squire's preaerven at
night. Yet they are usually arrant cowarils, far more
given to beating their womankind than to nasal&
persons (4 their own sei, said destitute alike of the
running and the resolution necessary for the execution
of a "put-up" robbery. Whenever a crime is com-
mitted in an English country place, a tramp is
generally suspected of having been the culprit; but in
the majority .4 instances it turns out -if the offence
has been one requiring bodily courage that the
nomads have had nothing to do with the matter. Their
pummajilmity is, on the other hand, so notorious in
many districts as to cause it to be popularly RIM that
one gips), is a match for three trampa, and one member
of the county constabulary for lex. The reason ris
obvious. English tramps. form a mysteriously
hereditary race of "gutter bloods." The grandest
names and titles die, De Vere expires, Bohun fades
out, Mortimer is but a noise, and "more and most
Plantagenet vanishes ;" but the great tramp family
liven on; it has thus continued in an unintermitting
stream from century to century, and has NO lived among
as, and upon us, ever since the Reformation. Prior to that
memorable event the English Tramp was a ;
the quest-master of the monastery W 11,4 his relieving
officer, and the horpggium of the convent Ms casual
ward. But he has ever been a mere canting, whining,
shuffling sneak, who requires the Dutch e otrage which
gin or beer can give him to make him hold enough even
to kick his miserable leman cr to buffet the sickly babe
which she carries. The Ain-irk:an tramp seems to be
cast in a far different mould. In calibre he belong,, to
the mighty and the strong. He is the horror f lonely
housewives whose husbands ire out in the fields; awl
when he meets a little schoohaaid carrying her dinner
in a basket he bids the child, in a voice of thunder,
" git out of that," and at once appropriates and devours
the savoury. cakes. In the State of Illinois alone there
was recently, it is reported, an army f thaw stalwart
mendicants 500 strong, roving in a body across the
country, and defying the authorities to disperse them.
The American vagrant would, in fine, appear to be
combination of the Englisfi "casual" proper with the
indigenous " loafer," " " bhsaltuti,"
"shoulder-hitter," and "dead rabbit." He is the
rowdy en eampayne, the " Bowery bhoy" writ large
and felonious; and the necessity which must soon arise

A HIGH SHERIFF FINED.

On Tuesday, at Dublin, it WllB found that no grand
jury had been summoned, although petty jurors were
called, and there was a full attendance of them. In
consequence of this omission the business had to be
postponed for a week. The Recorder commented
severely on the neglect of his duties by the Sheriff,
and also upon his absence, and said he regretted to be
obliged to take penal action in the matter, but he
must maintain the dignity of the Court, and would
Impose a penalty of £lOO upon the Hie Sheriff (Cecil
E. Guinea) Ho was ready, however, to hear
affidavits in excuse of the omission, if any excuse
could be made. The fine was formally recorded. The
sub-Sheriff, who usually represents the Sheriff was in
attendance.
