MoirleffeAl. ELOCTIOIL —While other borough. in the
county have been eagerly *maiming the merits and
demerits of • beet of minlidates for municipal honours,
Dorchester bag been as quiet as though we had no lomd
Parliament, no rates to pay, sad none to save. Till
within the lasi few days it was unknown generally who
wore the out-going coonocillors : we find they are Mr.
W. Versos, Dr. Aldridge, Mr. G. J. G. Gregory, and
Mr. F. Beniestt. They are all reamnineted by Mr. J.
Drake and Mr. J. Bonita' ; and De Aldridge Ins •
third nomination by Mr. O. Oliver- Four others are
named—Dr. Cowd6ll4 lir. G. H. Davis,llr. T. Saunders,
and Mr. F. Lack the nominators being George Critchell
and Edward Newbury, of FortUngtoo. It is not likely
that these two men did it "all out of their own heeds,"
but whoever prompted them, indicated gentlemen who,
if they had any desire to all in the Council, would find
number, reedy to support them. We should much
like toes, the position more coveted ; end sorely, it is
one that gives opportunity for • publie-spirited able
man to do moils for the advantage of the borough, and
thereby to earn approval and honour. Now that thin
decided the Bath and Wed of England Society will hold
their 1872 meeting at Dorchester, we need the more •
Town Council that will spare no efforts to render their
coming encomia' ; Lod gentlemen who are elected
without offset= themselves, and without oaring for the
°Moe, may fairly ernes *herniate= from the duties and
sacrifices of that year. Let it become in objeet of
ambition to be elected as Town Connnillor, and the
borough will be the better served, and oar representa•
tiees will ha= ism boomer.

missions', 1, that it was not right Sc spend men or money
on the heathens abroad, while we had so many at home,
and 2, that the offer= made bad not really done any
good. He said that the extra•paroehlal charities of
Leaden iniammeed to £1,000,000 a year, while the total
contributions in England for thissionary purposes were
oily half that stun' so he argued the work done abroad
did sot =twists with efforts at home. Secondly, he
showed lb= the miseionaries did their work con-
sistently, and by the multi in Central Africa thet
wooderfal warns. had ben vouchsafed to them. The
Rev. T. W. Knipe proposed a vote of thanks to Mr.
Flom Redid notthink that the society was infallible;
he did not believe in infallible moieties, or infalliMe
Churches, or infallible 'potions of the Church. Rut be
thosght that under the 'aspic..s of the Church of Rag-
land the moiety had gone forth to lift up the standard
of the gospel of peace, and be believed that the blessing
of God had attended its labours, and would continue to
do so if they were faithful to those great principles
upon Irbil= their Church under Did wee founded. The
°in:omelette.e of the world were now more than ever

The Rev. Prebesdare Williams wended the motion,
which was =tried with aselamatiee, and Mr. Flay=
