GREAT FAILURE IN AIIIIDIEN.—The firm of John
and Anthony Blaikie, advocates and land•factore of
Aberdeen, has failed for no less a sum than £300,000.
The Soatcasan says:—" In this sum is swallowed up I
the savings of tradesmen, the scanty portions of not • !
few widows and maiden ladies, of families who have I
seen better days, the rents of many large landed pro-
prietors, and also it is said, moneys intended to be is'
vested in security and in bond. A young and clever i
architect of the city, brought chiefly into notice by the
firm, is said to be a loser to the extent of £500; while '
• noble Earl well known in the Free Church religious
community, and who takes his title from a Royal burgh
not twenty miles distant from Aberdeen, is reported to:
have been in for not less than £lOO,OOO. In truth, it I
may be said there was unbounded confidence placed in I
John Blaikie. He is a member of a family who for '
half a century at least have most worthily held the
yery highest name and credit in the north of Scotland."
The ADULTICIATION OF GUANO.—A special meeting
of the directors of the Ayrshire Agricultural AMOCIiII-
tiOD was held on Tuesday for the purpose of taking into
consideration the steps necessary to ascertain the
quality and value of the guano and other manures sold
within the last twelve months, or in course of being
offered for sale to the farmers and others in the county
of Ayr. It was stated that one party had purchased
part of two cargoes of rUIIIIO from • dealer in Ayr, one
containing 18 per cent, of sand and the other 8.
In another case it was found that there
was 18 per cent. of sand in the guano, and only
10 per cent, of ammonia, in place of 17. After some
consideration a committee was appointed to make such
inquiries, by analysis or otherwise, as they may think
prayer.

AUSTRIA.

The new measures of Austria with regard to Hungary
MOM likely to fail, through want of men willing to take
the new cam offered by the Government. We read
in a Vienna letter, May 5 :—" Of the Hungarian nomi-
nees to the Council of the Empire, Count George
Apponyi [nee the Austrian Anabeasedor at our Court]
Baron ErAvila, and Paul von flocosich, three noblemen of
Liberal.C,onservative opinions, have refused to take
office. Their determination is the more painful to the
Government as it was intended to lay the affairs of
Hungary before the Heichsrath at an early period."
Demonstrations in honour of the late Count encellenyi
have taken place in every considerable town in Hungary,
the assemblies being everywhere strongly marked by
national feeling. At Peeth • solemn service for the
repose of Seeohenyi's soul was celebrated In the Catholic
cathedral, the Primate of Hungary officiating. Within
and without the cathedral • crowd of soros 80,000 people
assembled, and cries of Airs a Ansa/ Elden Sweatt /
Eljert Sucheitiri I (Hurrah for the country, for Hmenth,
for Beecbenyi) were constantly raised.

EITIAOILDINABT '117[1(710S APPLICATILZ TO Re.
TOLTIZa.—A aeries of experiments were on Wednesday
last eampleted at austham, undertaken for the purpose
of testing • valuable improvement effected in revolving
and repeating firearms, by means of which the inventor,
Sergeant G. Sturrock, attached to the staff of the Royal
Engineer establishment at Chatham, has succeeded in
doubling the number of shota fired from a revolver,
making it, in fact, a revolver of 14 or 18 consecutive
shots, without any necessity for reloading. In order to
avoid the delay, and often hazardous inconvenience, of
reloading, it has hitherto been the custoui for each re-
peating pistol or rifle to be provided with • moored
cylinder, and on the charges of the first cylinder being
fired a partial dismounting of the weapon has to he per-
formed to allow of the second loaded cylinder being sab-
etituted. In the present invention this inconvenience
is obviated by the rifle or revolving pistol being mode
double-barrelled, and placing two sense of slumbers, or
cme for each barrel, in the cylinder. Either of the
series of chambers is discharged in the ordinary
meaner, the bullets from each passing through th
appropriate barrel. By a simple change of the
hammer, which is effected in an instant, the other
series of chambers may then be tired in like manner, the
bullets priming through the other barrel. The chief
peculiarity of this invention is that it can be applied to
every system of repeating firearms now in use by officers
and others engaged on foreign service ; and, although
double the number of shots may be fired, not the
slightest chimp or modification of the working machi-
nery of the lock or trigger is nerisseary. During the
experiments the invention has been tested and examined
by several of the highest of the military authorities, as
well as a number of the moat experienced persons
snowed in the manufacture of revolvers and rifles, all
of whom pronounce it to be an ezabodiogly valuable
weapon, and one which will add considerably to the em-
cherry of that derieription of fire-arms in the hands of
cavalry and other troop'. The invention has been
patented.

AGRICULTURAL RZTORT FOR SOMIERSRTSHIRZ.—This
is one of the most backward seasons for many years, and
scarcity of hay has been felt in proportion. It was
hoped that the rain, occasioned by a change of wind on
the 25th, would have been followed by • marked change
to milder weather ; but the next day was one of the
coldest on record as having occurred in April. The
result is, that hay and other keep having been entirely
exhausted, recourse has been had to the meadows too
soon, which with vetches and artificial' having yielded
but a comparatively scanty supply of fodder, both cattle
and sheep are very poor and out of condition, nothing
getting into meat except on artificial corn and cake, of
which there has been a considerable consumption. There
is now ever,' prospect of the hay harvest proving late and
scanty. N 4 e have seldom known the prices of stock and
sheep under these circumstances to remain on so high •
range, as it must require time and great expense to
fatten ; and it is not at all improbable that should
warmer weather permanently set in, • considerable reac-
tion would ensue. entailing heavy losses from the abund-
ance that would be likely to follow. However, from the
present aspect of the late Spring there is an expectation
of increased firmness, and therefore but little
attempt manifested to force sales. Taking the low
condition of sheep into consideration, prices are un-
doubtedly higher than at this season last year; and
making the same allowance for poor stock their range
of prices will be found at present to sustain the quota'
tions of last year ; whilst both fat beef and mutton are
higher, and • prospect of their being still dearer from
the backwardness of grass-feed. The dairy cows exhibit
the poverty of their keep, and the make of butter is
consequently very light for the time of year. From
potatoes proving so very bad, scarce and dear (in some
places Id. per lb) there has been more than an usual run
on bread, which, although prices have advanced on dour,
is still the cheapest food, and easiest to be procured.
Old wheat has now gut into a small commas, but it has
held out remarkably well, so large a proportion holding
out so late in the year being of rare occurrence. itarley,
which is very scarce, has gut up from 2144. to 325. and
365., malting its high as 405.; beans from ss. to S. 64..
and cannot be obtained so freely as at this time Lot
year, 6s. NI. to 9s. being stood out for ;oats 225. to 245.,
and 265. per qr. ; bran and offal 51. and 6d. to 6s. per
cwt. Good progress has been made in sowing the
spring corn, and beans have come up pretty well. Our
wheat plant is thin, but said to tiller out well ; it is
very late, and sonic pieces hardly worth standing.
Wool and cheese rather quiet; prises not varying.—

ROYAL OAK FRIILNDLY Socitert.—This society,
which is ins most flourishing condition, held its
annual festival in the Townhall, Bridport, on
Wednesday last, on which occasion there mustered
about 130 members and friends. In our last num-
ber we spoke of the advantages to be derived from
being connected with this society; it is, there-
fore unnecessary to recapitulate them. Dinner
WAS provided shortly after two o'clock, and we need
scarcely add that it was served up in the best style,
and fully sustained the reputation of Mr. Smith, as
an efficient caterer on such occasions. The chair
was occupied by Mr. H. M. Stembridse, and an g

in August, 185 S, there were 9'2 members connected
with the society ; in August, 1559, 117 ; and in
August, 1860, 142. The amount now to be divided
among the members (after deducting sums paid to
those who had sold out, to member's widows, &c.)

lamEords onglet to provide for • free Pale of their
rabbits. Every year the rabbits do the farmers more
mischief than almost any amount Of but weather ; and
very year certain giusi•kcepers are understood to make
La.., three, or four hundred tmunols each by the side of
this particular perquisite. We may believe this from
tie fact sof one Imoloont r having sold 40,000 rabbits in
ot c year after taking a farm into his own hands—his
tenant having throowie it up on account of the rabbits.
The farmers ought, in such times as these, to use freely
Vie right of taking the rabbits whereser they have nut
foolishly ratted with that right. There ought to be •
'owe, p to( the rabbits, whatever the gamekeepers may
say,- —both for the sake of present fowl and next year's
: crops. It will be objected that there is no getting at
the creatures when they choose to hide. Well ; let us
have all that can he got at. We kuow that one gentle-
man got 40,000 in one year. Let us see how many loons

A l'oneeites LAIICKNY.—Five or six times within the
last nine years I have listened to sermons in which there
was not merely a manifest appropriation of thoughts
which the preacher bad never digested or made his own,
but which were stolen word for word; and I have been
told by friends in whom I have implicit confidence of
instances twice five or ale. uenerally this dishonesty is
practised by frightful blockheads, whose sole object,
perhaps, is to get decently through • task for which
they feel themselves unfit; but it is much more irrita-
toting to find men of eousidendele talent, and of more
considerable popularity, practicing it to a very gross ,
degree. And it is curious bow such dishonest persons
gain in hardihood as they go on. ELher because they
really escape detection, or because no one tells them
that they have been detected, they come at length to
parade themselves in their swirdled finery upon the
most public occasions. I do believe that, like the liar
who has told his story to long that lie has come to
believe it at last, there are persons who have stolen the
thoughts of others so often wed so long that they hardly
remember that they are thieves. And in two or three
cases in which I put the mutter to the proof, by speak-
ing to the thief of the characteristics of the stolen com-
position, I found hien quite prepared to carry out his
roguery to the utmost, by taking of the trouble it had
cost him to write Dr. Eewman's or /dr. Logan's dis-
course. "Quite • simple matter7no. trouble; scrib-
bled off on Saturday afternoon," said, in my heanng, a
man who bad preached an elaborate sermon by an emi-
nent Anglican Divine. The reply was irresistible,

WIMBORNK

An inquest was held on the Ist inst., before Mr.
Housden, deputy coroner, on the body of John
Hodges, aged 51, who wet with his death by slip.
ping off the roof of a shed, belonging to Mr. Hob-
son, coal dealer, Poole-road, and fracturing his
skull. Deceased was in his young days in a
respectable position as a traveller in the establish-
ment of the late Mr. Edward Ellis, the large draper
and wine merchant, and afterwards in business in
London on his own account, but latterly, from ad.
verse circumstances and from decripitude, he was in-
capable of doing anything but odd jobs. The jury
returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." De-
ceased was much respected by the older inhabitants
of the town. The deceased was thrust into a parish
coffin within 24 hours' of his death, and the coffin
being too small, the body was actually trodden in
with men's feet, and as it was hurried to the grate,
the hands were exposed to view! On the inhabitants
becoming acquainted with these facts, unmitigated
disgu.st was manifested throughout the town. tirat
blame is attached to the pariah officials, as deceased
had sufficient property in goods and money to
, provide a decent funeral. The matter, we hear, will
be brought before the Board of Guardians at their
next meeting.
ANOTHER WARNING TO CARTERS RIDING IN
CHARGE Or TEAMS.—An inquest was held before Mr.
Housden, deputy coroner, at New Inn, Hill Butts,
on Friday last, on the body of Charles Budden, a
carter iu the employ of Mr. John Ford, of Crook farm,
Rushton, who met with his death by falling off a
wagon, near Hill Butts gate, loaded with two teas
of oilcake. Roth wheels passed over his body and
he never spoke afterwards, death being almost
instantaneous. We are sorry to add, from the evi-
dence of his fellosicarter, that the deceased was the
worse for liquor at the time. A verdict in accordance
with these facts was returned by the jury.

moon in the late eclipse, which appeared in such
close contact with the sun, was at the same tiine

ST. Josix's Senow..—On Thursday last the
children belonging to St. John's Church Sunday
School had their annual treat of tea and cake in a
field at the back of the house of the Rev. 11. Jenner,
the Incumbent. A large number of the parents
and friends of the children took tea at another table
at the same time. After the good things of this
life had been fully discussed to the satisfaction of
all present, the children indulged in a game at foot-
ball, and various other athletic sports, besides run-
ning for different articles of dress, and scrambling
for nuts and biscuits. A large concourse of persons
were present, and many took part in some of the
sports with the children. The pieceedings were
enlivened by the excellent playing of the volunteer
artillery band.
CORONER'S INQUO4T.—OR Wednesday evening an
inguest was held at the Breakwater Hotel, before
F. C. Steggall, Esq., on the body of a man, name
unknown, belonging to the Champion, of Wey-
mouth, lying in Portland Harbour. It appeared
from evidence that the master of the vessel shipped
the deceased at Portsmouth without a name, the
tkampion not being of sufficient tonnage to bring it
within the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act.
On Monday evening he returned to the vessel in the
vessel's boat, and being intoxicated at the time,
it is supposed that after making the boat fast he
attempted to ascend the side and fell into the water.
No one was on board to render assistance,
and the body was not recovered till midday
on Wednesday. The jury returned a verdict of
"Found Drowned."

Lord PALMERSTON moved to substitute, instead of the
standing order of the 25th of June, 1352. the following :
—" That, unless the House shall otherwise direct, all
orders of , the day set il,wii in the enter Look fur
Mondays. Wednesdays, and Tliursilayt shall be disposed
of before the House wiil proceed upon any motions of
which notices shall have been given."
Ana • few remarks by Mr. E. ESTCOURT awl Mr.
Hatthettros, the motion was agreed to.
The House then went into ceiumittee upon Fortifies-
tiont and Works, when
Mr. LINDS‘T moved. as an amendment to the
proposed resolution, "That, as the main defence of
Great Britain against aggression depends on an efficient
navy, it is not now expedient to enter into a large
expenditure on permanent land fortifications." He
warned the House of the very Inrge ex; enditure—inuch
larger than had been suggested by the Government—in
which the proposed woras would involve the country,
and ridiculed the notion of an invasion from France.
Ile had faith in the proftiont contained in the letter
of the Emperor uf the French, who bad, ha said. given
proof of his sincerity, and who had aaaaa re interest than
we hol in maintaining peace; and, above all, it was his
interest to be at peace with this country. Would the
projected workt, he asked, make us tate lie denied
that they would, mid insisted that the House must go
on with tide expenditure, fortifying every part of the
oast, and incur an outlay not of 1.11,000,(*0, but at least
£59,000,01a). We had now a powerful navy; we hail n
volunteer force, in addition to our army, of 130,000
met, which could he augmented to 1000,009; and if
the French should succeed twhich he doubted) in throw-
ing lnitbOtfU well upon our shores, not one of those
ltal.ooo men would ever return to their native country.

Mr. H. BEHICELLY. an seconding this amendment, said
he differed from Hr. Lindsay in wane ak,ints. He
admitted that there wa, a urcessity for defending the
country, hut he did not think the hest mode of defence
was by con.tructing stone walls and pLeinA,anlloll main
theist. With Lycurgus, he preferred walls of men to
walls of stone, and thottalit that Lori Palmerston bad
made out no case why we should skulk behind fortifica-

hochester, August sth, IS6O.
Sin,—The great quantity of rain which has fallen
lately renders this subject of little importance at
present ; but as this is a peculiar INASOII, and perhaps
SUCII as may not occur ag.iin for souse yews, it will
be well to provide for the dry time coining.
Paruicrs are gentrally content with a pump in •
yard in which they keep stock, with perhaps a boy
or an old man to take charge of the pumping. With
such thanagunient how often will the drinking trough
be found empty ? What will frequently be theresult
of this want of water? flow is a farmer to know

whether or not all his cattle have sufficient! HOW
Hewn an old man pump water enough for 40 or
Tel bullocks in a straw yard, when each will consume,
on an average, from six to ten gallons per day?
All these considerations I assure you, Mr. Editor,
are sadly neglected by the majority of those who
think themselves good farmers ; and how ofteu hays
I looked in vain for a constant supply of water in
the cattle yards of Dorset. The result of an empty
trough is often the origin of disease, for if cattle are
kept long without water, they will naturally take a
large quantity when the pumping begins, and not
It ving when to stop, they w ill go on till they can
take manure, and then follow nu end of pain and
internal injury.
