that of the assemblage of so many agriculturists should
have proved the °maim of such • dilemma. Mr. ,
Coode, who is • naturalist of no mean attainments, as ,
well as an engineer of eminence, says that it shan't
happen again for fifty years to oome • and that is very
, Node of him ; but I say that if it htosild happen, it
ought rather to be regarded here as in Jersey, as a '
blessing than an embarrarment. Why, in the Channel
Islands it is absolutely requisite to regulate, by one of
the chief laws of the island, the distribution of the
vraick or sea-wreck, on which the egrioultural inhabit-
ants mainly rely for their manurial resources. At one
particular season, it is appointed for the cutting of the
crop of sea-weed wearing the rooks, thist the whole
shall begin on one day, so as Co one entitled to sectary a
share may steal a march ore another la obtaining a
store of the govetsid fertilising treasure. With
regard to what is east ashore in such plates, for
example as St. Alban" Bay, the law is first some,
first served. The man who is first in raking
together the stuff Into little heaps, or in removing
it beyond flood mark may earl it away at his leisure,
and in point of fact Is generally so anxious to have it
that he does so at nee. Now why should our soul
farmers not be as eager to possess this natural manure
as the Jersey men? It is true that potatoes, for which
it is best adapted, am not with us as in Jersey the main
*rep, or *yea eeltivated amongst us to the average
*stoat and as • top dressing on grass lands, which is
the next beet nes to which sea-weed may be applied, it
is from its rapid decomposition rather offensive. But
for the compost heap it is so valuable an ingredient that
the Irish on the Atlantis shore dry it and stack it,
reserving it for use when wanted, when, on being
tocenteued, it immediately becomes • putrefactive
means* I would not like to dispute Mr. Coode's
°piston as to the improbability of • recurrence of the
deposit on Weymouth sands; but there is one thing
to whisk I say direst attention. It is known that a
great and remarkable alteration has taken place in the
direetiou of the gulf stream of recent years, and that
at certain MIVOUII it is now sent with all its waifs and ,

Mr. Septimus Meoe occupied the chair. As the

then, indeed, he might have good hope con-

God's saints in glory everlasting. God grant that
such might be the case in that resurrection day of

might be addressed those glorious words of their

COUNTY PITTY SIMONE, Friday. Before
Captain Manning, Lieut -Col. Steward, R. H.
Swaffield, R. if. Eliot, and G. T. Bullock, Fisqrs.-
Matthew Fancy, of Portland, was summoned by
John Dallas, of the same plus, for destroying 60
cabbage plants, valued at 3s. Mr. Howard
appeared for defendant.—Complainant said on the
4th of April defendant came into his garden at
Redoroft, near the Clifton Hotel, which he (own-
, plainant) rented of Messrs. Steward and Co. He
"delved" it and put potatoes in, and in digging
destroyed some cabbage plants, which witness had
planted. He asked defendant what authority he
had there, when he was very abusive, and in reply
to witness, who told him he was trespassing, said he
did not care for him. Witness told him he should
summons him, but he still continued digging.
Witness had vented the garden for seven years, and
had receipts for five years' rent. —Mr. Howard con.
tended that the dispute in question was simply one
of title, and said the piece of ground was called the
Shepherd's Garden and belonged toe farm rented by
Mr. Hodder, in whose service defendant was. On
behalf of the defence, Joseph Hodder stated that
sometime ago be took • farm of Messrs. Steward
and Mr. Hollaad. He came in possession of the
farm on the 25th of March, 1864. He saw Mr.
Dallia on that day, when be told him that he had '
come in possession of the Land there
and should require the piece in question.
Defendant refused to give it op as he had
had no notice. A few days after he again
met oomplainant, when the latter said he had been
informed that he must give up the land, but thought
it was a very hard case, espeoially as his garden was
stocked, and witness allowed him to take off his
crops on condition that after that time the garden
should come into witness's possession.—He had paid
rates for the garden in lueation.—The case was dis-
missed for want of jurisdiction.--George Knight
of West Chiakerell, was charged with abreach of
the Highway Act. The offence was allowing •
donkey to stray on the highway, on the 28th of
March, in the pariah of West Chickerell.—Defendant
said the animal had been securely fastened bat had
broken locos—Under these circumstances he was
fined is., the oats being remitted.—Edward
Dowell appeared to answer a charge preferred
against him for stealing vetches.—The complainant,
William Ward, said he rented land at West
Chickerell, and in one field he grew vetches. On
the 16th of April lie saw defendant engaged in
pulling a quantity of them.—Defendant did not
dispute the charge, but in extenuation said he was
only taking a few vetches for his rabbits.—Fined sa.
and allowed a week for payment.—Benjamin
Stone, of Portland, was fined ss. and oosts for being
drunk at Wakeham on the 2nd of April.---Samnel
Symes, of Portland, appeared to answer • charge of
a similar nature, but now made his appearance in
court in anything but • sober rtate.—The case was
proved by P.C. Pit6eld, for which he was fined 55.,
and s*. and °oda for being drunk in court.

H.M.S. LIVRRPOOL.—A short time ago we
.gublished a numerously-signed memorial to the
Lords of the Admiralty praying that H.M.S.
~.Liverpool should be stationed in Portland Roads in
:order to check any outbreak of convicts, which
•Iftight take place. The following answer ham been
,reininted from the Admiralty office : —Having laid
beim my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty
your letter of the 17th April, with a memorial from
the inhabitants of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis,
p• ay ing that EL M.S. Liverpool may be kept at
Portland until ordered to rejoin the Channel

of the convicts, lam commanded to acquaint you
that their lordships regret it is not in their power
to comply with their request, as tbe services of

Tem PIRHISSITR 8a.1.--On Wednesday evening
a public meeting was held in St Mary's Natiouid
&hoe!, for the purpose of hearing some observations
from Mr. Fothergill, agent of the United Kingdom
Alliance, on Mr. Laweon's Permissive Bill, and from
Dr. Carpenter. The Rev. T. Ox-eaves occupied the
chair, land there was a numerous attendance. Mr.
Fothergill, in the course of • lengthy speech, con.
banded that it was time the Government took
some measure, to alter the existing condition
of the Eloise laws and licensing system with respect
to the rale of intoxicating drinks. He urged upon
the electors of the town to exercise great caution in
seeding representative@ to Parliament, and a resole-
lion was in which the meeting pledged itself
to aid passed
Kingdom Alliances In their
endeavours to obtain the paring of Mr. Lawson's
Penniman Bill, and at the forthcoming election to
return members to Parliament who were only pre.
=dto give their unqualified support to that
rive:it measure. Dr. Carpenter, in addressing
the meeting, urged upon the electors of the town to
return the right men to Parliament. He believed
the Alliance movement to be the greatest one of the
day, and mid it was deserving the support of every
one who wished for the prosperity of his country.
He expressed • hope that the friends of the Athence
movement in the town would immediately take such
steps as would be certain to return men to Parlia-
ment who would support the Permissive Bill, and
also other measures which would be beneficial to the
omintry.
