Deposer:oos lieronzirce.—Within the last three
weeks three persons have been accosted between the
Union and Wyke while on their road to Portland by
a man who came out of the wood at Be'field, and
demanded their business. The fellow was dressed
in • red or soldier's jacket, and Instal° trousers.
Another voioe was oleo Ward in the wood. The
rascal would have met a rough reoeption from •

The Paymaster himself returned on Friday, and on

of silver and took it to Messrs. FAi..t's hank
and ezchanged it for gold. He also drew £lOO
more in gold, and rode to the Bear Inn, Weymouth.
Here he told the cabman to wait for him; but after-
wards said he would not trouble him to wail; but
be would take the last train book. However, by
Monday eight Smith had not returned, and there is
reason to believe he left Weymouth by the mail train
on Friday night for somewhere up the line. On
Saturday Mr. George appeared for Mr. Sperling of

DISCHARGE FROM A TRAINING SHIP.

The following letter appears in the Broad Arnow.
Stu, —Another very distressing cue eame to my
motif)e to.day, giving a had odour to the training
system. It was of a poor boy of the name of Owner ;
he had been twelve months on board a training ship,
and has very nenr lost his sight. Now, Sir, this poor
boy has been digebarged to the shore and he is quit*
helpless, and they di.l not give him one penny to go
away with. They have, besides, taken all his best
clothes and bedding from him, and put him ashore
without so much an a railway pass to earry him to his
parish, and h. is without a friend or relation in the
world that he knows of. Is he to beoome • burden to
our parish to par him to his own, or left to charity, or
worst of all, open to the temptation of stealing. I
cannot see what else he can do. I should like to know
what becomes of the clothes of all such boys, for this
is not the first ease by many. They are not sold, at
lewd, I never heard any one say that they was sold, sad
I have spoken to men who have been five years in the
ship. Rarely st the least, they might have given this
poor boy his clothes and bedding, for, to my thinking,
be has honestly paid for them. A boy in • ship twelve
or fifteen montna drawing no pay, must have paid fore
very good kit, considering his pay as Eft a year. I
remember last rear when the old Ferret brig was lost
and the boys lost all their cloths*, the Government
gave them what they considered the value, El lei. for
their kit. Then how la it that • poor boy, getting the
pay before stated, should have his box of clothe, taken
from him. That* is eomething wrong, very wrong.
and I think the sooner it is looked into the better, for
the Training Service.
I remain, yours dm., a Friend of the B,ya,

ROCKLAND NEWTON.

DIPCOVERY OF TRIB DRAD BODY OF A CHILD.—
On Wednesday, the 16th inst., an ingnest was bald
at the Revel's Inn, in the pariah of Rockland
Newton, before H. Look, Req., (deputy-coroner),
touching the death of a newly-born female child.
which had been found the day previous beneath the
hedge bordering the road, at that part known as
Revel's Hill.—Eliza Carta, said she was the wife of
Charles Curtis, labourer, of Revel's Hill, in the
pariah of Rockland Newton. yesterday (Tuesday) as
she was going up Revel's Hill, about 10 a.m., with
Louisa Brake, when she came near to the road lead-
ing to Rockland Newton, she saw something lying
under the hedge—a coarse cloth with apparently
something in it. She immediately went and opened
it, she observed it WBA a baby, and quite dead. She
want to the Giant's Heed Inn, and told Mr. King.
man, the landlord, who said he would inform the
Superintendent of police. She told him exactly
where it was. She had observed the body shown to
the jury, and it was the same. It had theappearanee
of being recently placed there, and any person could
have seen it pawing on the road. She did nohnove it
from the spot.—P.C. Hisoock said that from informs.
lion received be went to Revel's Hid to the spot
described by Mrs. Curtis, and found a piece of cloth
contains the body of a child. He immediately took
charge of it, and brought it to Revere Inn.
It appeared to have been recently placed there,
se the wow, whit* had recently fallen, was under
the cloth. Idc'Elenry, medical practitioner
at Cerne Abbas, mid he was called to see • child
which had been found, at Revel's Inn. He oam•
and examined it. It wee a full-grown female
child, fully developed and very much decomposed.
There WM no evidence of any fracture, but decom-
position had gone too far to disown any other
external mark of violence. He could not tell from
the appearance of the ombilical cord whether it had
been properly out or not. He should say it bad
been born at least six weeks or two months. The
skin was off the neck and back, but It had no
marks of extreme violence on it. He had since
made • post-mortem exaasination. On opening the
chest he found 'the lungs expended, especially the
right one, which presented a healthy appearance.
On placing them in water they floated, and the
upper part of the right long appeared to float better
than the caber. He gathered from that and other
aopearsocee that the child breathed. The stomach
and intestines were empty. He should judge the
child was born alive, had not lived long aft-r
birth, but as to the cause of death he could form no
opinion. The coroner then summed up the evidence,
and the jury returned a verdict of "Found dead."

BRAVERY AND SUFFERINGS OF A
DEAL CREW.

On Friday afternoon arrived in Weymouth harbour
• Deal lugger with • vielther-beaten and frost-
pinched crew of twelve men including the captain.
Their appearance told of fearful suffering, from the
cold, and when they were somewhat reoovered from
effeote their tale was listened to with interest.
They had followed the Dotch brigantine Ter
&belling, all the way round from Deal, in the height
of the gale, although their own was an open boat.
The brigantine was in danger of parting from her
anchor, off Deal, and the lugger Tiger, Captain
Thome Asheaton, received instructions to get two
anchois and 90 fathoms of chain for the Ter Schelling.
Two Deal men were left on board the brigantine,
and the lugger obtained the anchors arid chain, and
Captain AAetton, with • picked crew, put to sea in
spite of the waves, which were running "mountains
high." Before the Tiger amid reach the Ter
Schelling, the latter parted from all her &whom,
and was driven before the gala. She tried to run for
Dover, and though it was now getting dark, the cold
was intense, and the sea higher than ever, the
gallant Deal crew stated off on her track. OS
Dungeness they found the waves running over 30f1.
high, the me mode • Glow breech over the logger,
and the spray froze as it fell on bar ropes. The
halyards were frozen stiff, and, from about
inch ropes, were encrusted with the ice till
they looked like shrouds three inches through.
What wield an open boat do ill snob circumstances?
She wee compelled to bring up, and lie-to, the pumps
being kept at work all night, during which e 3 severe
was the cold that one of the crew was frost-bitten.
On Sunday it was a Intrriosne and the lugger tried
to make Rye harbour, bat could not, and the crew
were only too glad to be able to keep afloat in the
open en, exposed as they were to the full violence
of the raging waves. They were sorely distressed,
having scarce tested food since they left Deal.
Providentially the gale moderated, they made for
Newhaven, and at four o'clock on Friday afternoon
arrived in Weymouth harbour, where they were
heartily received. In the harbour they found the
Dutchmaa, which had, as will be remembered, ran
ashore at Portland Roads, after being driven shout
200 miles in the gale, and afterward, been towed in
by the Commodore. The names of the Deal men
who kept the lea in the lugger were Thomas
Aehenton, captain, John Roberts, Henry Roberts,
George Pain, Henry Norris, Richard Roberts,
Stephen Wyld, John Ashenton, Thomas Ashenton,
junr., Richard Riley, Richard May, and Thomas
Cross. With such men none can wonder at the fame
that has ()loitered round the lifeboats of the east
caul.
