Dial 8114—In your issue of Kirsh 28, under the
above head, it is stated that probably the county police
would object to tradesmen blocking up the pavements
—that they are made for the public to walk on, and
not for an ont-of-door shop, to the benefit of • single
individual; and further blaming the present police for
not clearing the footways. I beg to reply that wha: •
tradesman pays for ho is jottly entitled to—that this
privilege ic printed by the Town Council, and raid for
by taose who desire it. The payment is collected by
the police, who, in thit cue, therefore, are fulfilling
their duty. If it should be determined tr mopl ry the
county police, I presume they would be controlled in
Shwa matters by the Town Council. I beg to add that
where this privilege is enerosched upon, it would be
easy to arrange for • aerialue bousolary or space, but I
think that the waggons and implements placed in the
'nitrite of Cornhill are a very mush greater nuisance ;
and that the sale of horses in the streets is a more
dangerous arrangement, and should be conducted at the
sale grotind.—Yours truly,
Dorchester, April 8, 1871.

London Sonool llaard, was also laid down, and it was
iatimated that Mr. Gerard ,turt, M.P., had promised
to give £5 to the Chapel Funds. A number of young
children here approached and placed sundry perms
, on the foundation stone, containing the results of their
'collections among friends of the cause. The open air
service concluded by the Doxology and • short prayer.
Having thus ooncluded the main business of the day,
the party proceeded to Dorchester in • number of oon-
veyanoes provided for the occasion. At the New Corn
Exchange luncheon was partaken of at halfpast one
by a large number. At half-past three the Rev.
Alexander McAuley preached an expellent airmen in
the Town hall, taking for his text the 13th to the 16th
verses of 102nd Psalm. Five o'clock having arrived.
the friends to the number of 200 and upwards, again
adjourned to the Ooin Exchange, where a public tie
was profiled and heartily diroussed. At the beginning
of the repast the Rev. J. iingill gave out a hymn
Invoking the blessing of God upon those assembled.
Another sermon was preached by Mr. McAuley, In the
Town hall, at half past six. The subject of his discourse
' was the striking expression in 24111 Joshua, verse 16,
"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord," In
the omits° of his remarks the rev. gentlemen dilated upon
the importance of family devotion, sod the necessity of
parants being fully alive to the requirements and
iutorests of religion and training their children to have
a proper seine of their religious duty and obligations as
Christians. Ho also pointed out in an affecting manner
the sad results which had often attended neglect and
inattention to the tho all important object of • good
man's life The appeals of Mr. McAuley were ferry
powerful and sometimes extremely impassioned, moving
many to tears. The promediugs terminated with an
announcement from the Rev. J. Hagill that the gross
receipts of the day had ben £39 2s. 20. The services
were ereeedingly sueoessful throughout.
