DORCHESTER, TUESDAY, MAY 11, DM.

HONESTE AUDAX.

IN the House of Lords on Monday the Earl of
DERBY stated, in answer to the Earl of CORK,
that the Government intended to give their
serious consideration to the report of the com-
missioners appointed to inquire into the state of
endowed schools in Ireland, with the view of
making those schools more efficient for the educa-
tion of the middle classes. The Earl of ELLEN-
BOROUGH stated, in reference to the presentation
of petitions on the subject of Christianity in
India, that he intended to pursue the tra-
ditional policy—namely the policy of perfect
neutrality. On Tuesday, on the motion of the
Earl of DERBY, the Ecclesiastical Commission
Bill was read a second time and referred to a
select committee. On Thursday Lord EMMY
moved an address to the Crown praying for the
appointment of a Royal commission to consider
and inquire it hether the Liturgy of the Church
of England was not susceptible of beneficial
alteration. The motion was opposed by the
Archbishop of aorrmtsuity, the Bishop of St.
Devin's, the Earl of DERBY, and other Peers;
and after a long discussion it was negatived
without a division.

In the House of Commons on Monday the
second resolution, providing that her MAJESTY,
by one of her principal Secretaries of State,
shall have and perform all the powers and
duties relating to the Government of India,
which are now exercised by the East India
Company, was carried by a majority of 251, the
numbers being 351 to 100. The Exchequer
Bonds Bill, and the Stamp Duty on Drafts Bill,
were road a second time. On Tuesday the
ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND obtained leave
to bring in a Bill permanently to establish the
present Encumbered Estates Court, and to
extend its powers to unencumbered estates
where parties may be desirous of obtaining a
Parliamentary title. Mr. GLADSTONE'S motion
in favour of the Union of the Danubian
Principalities was negatived after a long dis-
mission by 292 to 114. On Wednesday, on the
order for the second reading of the Marriage
Law Amendment Bill, permitting marriage with
a deceased wife's sister, Mr. BERESFORD HOPE
moved that the Bill be read a second time that
day six months. On a division the amendment
was negatived by 174 to 134, and the Bill was
read a second time. On Thursday the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, in answer to
Mr. BRIGHT, that her Majesty's Ministers had
expreasei their disapproval of Lord Csararixo'a
reeent proclamation, declaring his intention to
confiscate the kingdom of Oude to the British
Government, Mr. Gazza's motion for a select
committee to inquire into the nature, origin, and
extentiof the tenant-right custom in Ireland was
negatived, on a division, by 232 to 43. Mr.
CAIRO'S motion for leave to introduce a Bill to
assimilate the county franchise of Scotland with
that of England was negatived, on a division, by
103 to 84. Mr. LOOKS Kixo's Peoperty
Qualification Bill was read a second time with-
out opposition.
We are informed that a meeting was held at
Cambridge-house on Thursday, at which it was
resolved to move a Resolution in the Home of
Commons on Thursday next upon the subject of
the despatch from Lord ELLENRORUGH censuring
the issue of Lord CANNING'S proclamation to the
people of Oude, and that this Resolution will
have the concurrence of Lord JOHN Roseau
and the principal members of the so-called
Peelite party.

Telegraphic news from India has been just
received, from which it appears that a campaign
in Rohilcund during the hot weather is con-
sidered inevitable. In the operations necessary
to the relief of Azimghur the 13th Regiment,
appointed to the service, met with obstinate
resistance, and 25 casualities are reported. Col.
SEATON had again come up with a body of the
rebels, and, after some hard fighting, on the 7th
routed them and took three guns. Luoknow is
reported to be perfectly tranquil, and the place
most effectually cleared of rebels.

DIRECTLY opposite views are somewhat strangely
entertained by some reputable journals with
regard to the question of peace or war. Why
such a question in the present state of things
should be raised at all, it is not easy to perceive.
Some of our contempories will have it that
"England is slowly but surely drifting into a
"great war." At the same time they affect to
inveigh strongly against war in general, and dis-
course freely upon the follies and miseries, and
the vain results, of a sanguinary appeal to arms,
winding up with an exhortation to both France
and England, with the view to the suppression
of angry passions, and the strengthening of the
alliance. All this seems incongruous and
unreasonable ; and the argument would appear
to be as inconsistent with itself, as the gloomy
apprehensions found in it are at variance with
the aspect of affairs and the temper of the people
of the two countries. A London contemporary
with some considerable influence, after declaring
that a fierce and almost interminable war is
inevitable, calmly asks the leading men of both
nations to "sit down and ask each other what it
"is they are quarrelling about." Some modest
and unassuming reader might ask the journalist,
with much greater propriety, to sit down and
consider what he was writing about. That some
sort of quarrelling, or a certain amount of bick-
ering should occasionally turn up between cer-
tain sections of writers and politicians both in
France and England is perfectly natural; but so
far from their threatening danger and disaster,
and a disruption of the peace of nations, do we
not all understand how completely these explo-
sives serve the purpose of safety-valves 1 The
Univers, which some people read with apprehen-
sion and dismay—as if that violent anti-English
journal represented the deliberate opinions of all
France—is in reality a very hatmless thing. Its
columns absorb the malignity of a few head-
strong and greatly prejudiced men, who find

equal satisfaction and repose in this expression
of their intemperance and ill-will. These are
effiusions which ought to be somewhat better
understood in England than they appear to be;
and it is surprising that any intelligent metropo-
litan journalist should for a moment suffer him-
self to be driven from his propriety by the
rancorous spirit evolved by such a paper as the
Univers. Truth and reason are altogether sub-
merged beneath the rage and indiscretion of that
French paper. For instance, the Univers de-
clares that "everybody knows that the English
" alliance is a snare—that England will have no
"alliance except for her own advantage." If it
be so, the EMPEROR and his Government, and
the immense majority of the French people must
not only have a very imperfect perception of
their advantage in the alliance, but must be
sedulously engaged in acts of the grossest self-
stultification that could possibly be exhibited.
For who can doubt the reality of the fervid I
desire for peace and the "imperishable union"
of the two countries, on the part of the EMPEROR
and the French people, as expressed on several
public occasions recently by the French Ambas-
sador, the most distinguished man, perhaps,
under the EMPEROR, in the French dominions?
There is no reason whatever to doubt the sincerity
of the EMPEROR'S repeatedly declared disposi-
tion; and all the idle gossip about the alliance
being a well-known "snare," is a self-evident
absurdity. Why the Univers indulges in such
I transparent folly it is difficult to perceive;
unless, indeed, it be to gratify the malevolence
of certain restless French politicians, acquiesced
in as a deterrent against more serious contin-
gencies to those who are under the influence of
these feelings. But that any English writers,
worthy of the name, should suffer themselves to
be led away for a moment by the frantic repre-
sentations of that paper, may well surprise us ;
and, more than all, that any person can be found,
who, sympathizing in its wild declamations and
respecting its whimsical vagaries, find them.
selves, as a necessary consequence, "drifting"
into the melancholy belief that we are un-
doubtedly on the eve of a bloody and prolonged
war! It would be well, if any should be suffer-
ing under such a delusion, to turn from the
Univers and contemplate these matters as they
present themselves to view in a clearer atmos-
phere. The Duke of MALAKOFF, the imme-
diate representative of the Sovereign of France,
with the frank honesty of a soldier's heart, and
all the resources of manner and of language,
has endeavoured on several occasions, and espe-
cially on Thursday last, to impress upon our
countrymen the earnest desire of France for a
lasting union of the two countries. "Let us,"
said this distinguished Ambassador from the
French Court, "in future know how to maintain
that peace, so productive to civilization, and so
fertile, so necessary for us and for you—that
peace so indispensable for the welfare of all. I
hope that peace will be durable, for it was
cemented by generous blood—by blood shed side
by side in succouring a faithful ally, but shed
with equal and mutual eagerness. It is for us,
soldiers and sailors, to remember this. It is for
us to propose, without hesitation, an enthusiastic
toast of lasting concord; and we who have joined
our heroic efforts together for the advantage of
all, have a right to say to the two great
nations, 'Let us know how to imitate the two
fleets and the two armies, and let our sentiments
be mingled together in one common feeling.'"
This is common sense, and will make itself under-
stood wherever it is read. The argument con-
tained in the quotation will meet with general
concurrence; and the exhortation to peace and
concord, addressed as it is to both countries, is
pretty sure of being received with respect.

DORCHESTER PITCHED CORN MARKET, Saturday,
May B.—We had a thin attendance at market to-day
and a short supply of wheat, as well as other grain.
The trade ruled dull at barely last week's rates.
DORCHESTER SAVING'S BANK..—At a meeting of
the trustees of this institution, held on Thursday, at
the offices in South Street, Henry Frampton, Esq.,
in the chair, it appearing from the letter of the
Commissioners that it would not be in consonance
with the Act of Parliament to have a residence for an
actuary in the contemplated building, the trustees
declined to carry out the plan of building a Saving's
bank at the bottom of South-street.

Wimborne Minster, is announced to preach at Christ

AN HONORABLE SOUVENIR—Mr. A. F. P. Coleus,
son ot F. Catena, Esq., of South-street, has recently
received the subjoined certifloate of merit from the
Royal Humane Society —"At: a meeting of the
Committee of the Royal Humane Society, holden at
their office, 3, Trafalgar Square, on Wednesday, the
17th day of March, 1858: Present, William Hawes,
jun., Esquire, in the chair,—lt was resolved unani-
mously, that the courageous and humane exertions
displayed by Master Arthur Frederick Percy
Cosens, on the 21st of February, 18.58, in having
gone twice, on dangerous ice, to the relief of two
youths who had accidentally become immersed by
breakinq through in a deep pond at Croydon, and
whose lives be thereby saved, calls forth the lively
admiration of this committee, and justly entitles
him to its sincere thanks, which are hereby awarded
him, inscribed upon parchment.—W. Hawaii, Chair-
man.—J. Charlier, Secretary."

TILE PENNY STAMP ON CHECKS—The public are
not generally aware that a check for less than 20s. is
absolutely void, and the uttering or negotiating such
an instrument is an offence subjecting the offender to
a penalty of £2O. Checks for sums less than .£1 are
frequently drawn by Poor Law guardians, local
boards of health, and other public bodies, who make
it a practice to pay everything by check. Perhaps
the new stamp will put an end to the illegal practice.

FELONIOUSLY RECEIYINO.—Reg. v. Frampton.—
Court for the Consideration of Crown Cases Reserved.
—May I.—This was an indictment against the pri-
soner and two other persons named Wilkinson and
Tavender, tried at the last Epiphany Sessions for the
county of Dorset, before Charles Porcher, Esq.,
Deputy-Chairman; the two latter being charged
with embezzlement and larceny as servants, the pri-
soner Frampton being charged with receiving. The
count for receiving was framed as for a substantive
felony. The jury acquitted Tavender altogether,
acquitted Wilkinson of the larceny, but found him
guilty of the embezzlement and found Frampton,
guilty of receiving. The point reserved was
whether, Wilkinson having been found guilty of
embezzlement only, Frampton could be guilty of
receiving, knowing the 'property to have been stolen.
Mr. G. D. Poroher, who warn for the prosecution,
now appeared to support the conviction and judg•
ment of the Sessions, contending that in such a case
embezzlement was considered to be larceny. The
Court held that tho statute declared that in such a
case embezzlement must be considered as larceny,
and the conviction was right. Conviction affirmed.

BA RNARDO EAGLE—On Tuesday evening the
"Wizard of the South" and professor of Clairvoyance,
Barnard° Eagle, whilst performing at Guernsey broke
a blood vessel, and on the following_ day died. On
Friday the acmes was brought to Weymouth in the
Cygnus steamboat, thenoe oonveyed to town by rail.
Miss Eagle and the other members of the family as.
oompanied the body.

THE LATE COUNSELLOR BIRD.-OIIT obituary re•
cords the death of Charles Bird, Esq., barrister-at-
law, at the advanced age of 83. Mr. Bird was a
sterling and sound-hearted reformer. He was a man
of warm feelings and quick sympathies. He had a
thorough hatred of oppression and intolerance, and
threw his whole heart into the advocacy of the in-
jured and oppressed. He continued the practice of
his profession down to a late period of life, and at
one time enjoyed a high popularity in the criminal
courts. But he paid the penalty of his steadfast
political rectitude by the exclusion from that !hare
in the honours and emoluments of his profession to
which by his standing, character, and abilities he
was justly entitled.
THE STOKE ABBOTT MURDER.—The young man
named James Seale, charged with the murder of
Sarah Ann Guppy, at Stoke Abbott, on Friday after-
noon week, was, as we stated last week, taken before
the Beamiuster bench on Monday. The magistrates
present were Samuel Cox, and Edward Fox, Eggs.
Additional evidence to that adduced at the inquest
was Oven by John Hutchins, who, said that he found
a third knife, a small dinner one, among the ashes
near where the body was found. Noah Hussey, who
lives next door to prisoner's father, identified the
knife as one he had seen prisoner cutting bread and
cheese with on the day preoeding the murder. It
was sharp, and pointed at the end of the blade. The
magistrates fully convicted the prisoner to the sum.
mer Assizes for trial, on the charge of Wilful Murder.
On Tuesday morning Superintendent MeETale drove
the prisoner in a light cart, to the Bridport station,
whence he was brought to Dorchester by way of
Maiden Newton. Large crowds at Bridport, Maiden
Newton, and Dorchester, strove to catch a glimpse of
the prisoner as he was borne along. The prisoner
was conveyed from Dorchester station to the County
gaol, by Superintendent Everitt in a cab. He is
said to be not much affected by the awful charge on
which he is committed for trial.

for leaving a horse unattended in the public street con.
trary to the Bye Law.. Defendant did not appear, and
Superintendent Pounoy proved the service of the sum.
mono, whereupon a warrant was issued to compel hie
attendance. Simmonds afterwards attended. It ap.
peered that on Thursday defendant left a horse, which
on account of its vice had been muscled, and the horse
had no one to take ears of it for more than a quarter of
an hour, opposite Mr. Fitch'., Cornhill. A few days

COUNTY IiteGIETRATES' OFFICE, Shirehall, Saturday,
May 8.--(Before IL Williams and W. L. Henning,
Esqrs.)—Horriet Mantle, wife of a carter at Warmwell,
and Aftiry Ann Vincent, marine store dealer, were
brought up on remand charged with stealing two plough.
shares, the property of Mr. W. Baby, jun., farmer,
of Warm well. P.C. Pomery deposed that while on
duty at Widoombe on the 3rd, Vincent passed with •
donkey cart load of marine stores, and in consequence
of information he had received respecting a robbery he
searched the cart, and found two ploughshares. She at
first refused to say where she had obtained them, but at
list 'aid she had bought them at Wartnwell, and went
and showed the officer the woman Mantle, saying she
gave Mantle led, for both ploughshares. Mantle owned
selling the shares, adding that she found them in prose-
cutorre field, and supposed they were useless. The
woman Vincent was then, after being admonished
and requested to be more careful in buying things for
the future, sworn, and said that on asking Bantle if she
had anything to sell, Mantle offered the old iron shares
for which witness gave lid. William Buby, jun.. said
he believed the ploughshares produced were his property.
Prisoner's husband wee a Darter in his (witness's) employ.
Prisoner agreed to,-have the matter decided under the
Summary Jurisdiction Act, and said she had no idea
there was any harm in taking possession of the articles,
she having picked them up while gathering sticks. Pro-
mentor said he did not wish to press the cue farther
than to mark the offence. The Magistrates said that
had the evidence been more clearly brought home to the
prisoner and also to the receiver, who was the more to
blame, the punishment would have been severe. Mantle
was ordered to be imprisoned for one day. The shares
were valued at 6d. each.
