MARK-LANE, M—orrnav, February 6.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market
I.z.d.twere small, and the condition of the produos was
affected by the prevailing damp weather. Owing
Vthe limited supply on ofr-r dry samples were taken
off readily, and were disposed of at an early hour, at
he full prices of Monday last. Damp produce met a
dull inqairy. ; nevertheless, the bulk of the supply
*banged hands, and compared with Monday last, the
quotations realised exhibited no material alteration.
Only a moderate supply of foreign wheat was on the
stands. Good and prime old qualities were in fair ave.
request, at fully late rates; otherwise the foreign
wheat trade was dull on former terms.
The supply of good and flue barley on sale being
malt seleeeed qualities fully supported previous quota-
tions, and said somewhat readily. Inferior—of which
there was a moderate supply on offer—met a dull
isqtiry, at about stationary quotations.
About an average business was transacted In malt, at
taftestrencies.
Being were in short simply, and the trade for them
was steady, at full quotations.
No change took plate in the value of peas compared
tith Monday hist.
Very little barrel flour was on offer. For Engliah
eel hteien woks there was a moderate demand, at
Allititlislonious rates.

altogether 32 successful candidates, so that Mr. Smith

Sams ILLNIAR Or LADY PORTMAN—We regret to
state that this truly estimable lady, who has been for
same time past suffering from serious indisposition, is
ma expected long to survive. Her ladyship has been at-
leaded by Mr. Baoot, and latterly by Dr. Dansy, who
daring his residence in Blandford, was the family doctor.
Both of these gentlemen have been unremitting in their
exertions on behalf of the sufferer, but, unfortunately,
without success. On Saturday last her ladyship joined
with her family in partaking of the Holy Communion
which wee administered by the Rev. Mr. Berry, recto;
of Pimperne, a much esteemed friend, and on the same
dar her Majesty, who was on intimate terms of friend-
ship with the sufferer, and had a high appreciation of
*be excellence of her judgment, and amiability of die-
=n, sent a telegraphic message, enquiring after her
The latest aocouat on Sunday night was to the
effect that her ladyship was much worse, though still
alive.
WartsaALL, Sanuary 5. The Queen has been

phased
ord, In the county of Dorset, Esquire, second sec-
retary of Her Majesty's Embassy at Paris, Her Royal
license and authority that he and his issue may, in com-
p/lame with a clause contained in the lost will and testa-
ment of Henry Her Seymer, ef Hanford aforesaid,
Esquire., deceased, and of a direction in a certain deed
of Milsie, henceforth take and use the surnames of Her
and Seymer ix addition and after that of Clay, and be
henceforth called by the names of Clay Her Seymer,
mod hear the arms of Ear and Seymer quarterly With
those of Clay; such arms being first duly exemplified
acoording to the laws of arms, and recorded in the Col-
lege of Arms, otherwise Her Majesty's said license and
permission to be void and of none effect. And also to
command that the said Royal concession and declara-
tion be recorded in Her Majesty's College of Arms.
A VERY NARROW n.CAPE.—On Wednesday,
the Ist inst., • providential though narrow escape
from &Owning took place near this tows. Mr.
Vine, of Salisbury-street, accompanied by Mr.
Dalrymple, went out for a row in a small boat on the
river Stour, about the middle of the day. In con-
seopienoe of the late frost, • large accumulation of
water had been kept back, but a thaw setting in
on Monday the waters came down with great
rapidity, and the current being strong, the frail bark
its which the rowers were seated became unmanage-
able, and was dashed by the force of the stream
against • tree standing in the water. The rowers
auoceeded in taking hold of the branches, and in that
perilous condition remained until help arrived. The
accident was seen by a young man named Wells, iii
the employ of Mr. Watts, at the back of whom
premises the boat was kept, who having a presentib
meat on his mind that something wrong would
happen, went up into his master's wool-lofb just in
time to see the upset. Two children who beard cries
for help also gave an alarm, and several parties
hastened to the spot, and succeeded, by means of
ropes, in extricating the nearly exhausted men from
their perilous situation. We understand that Mr.
Vice was in the water about 20 minutes. Dr, Daniels
was soon on the spot and accompanied ?dr. Vine
home, who, we are glad to be able to state, is now
fully recovered. Too much praise cannot be given
to these who so promptly attended and gave their
help, which had it only arrived five minutes later
would not have been of any avail.
THE CAREBR OF DR. SMETHWICR, ALIAS
DR. 'PUCKER, ALIAS SIGNOR VICKNTO.

The greater part of the inhabitants of Blandford, will
well remember that in the year 1863, a person of pre.
renaming appearances, styling himself "Signor Vieento,"
resided in this town, and ingratiated himself into the
grad opinion. of some of the principal inhabitants.
Things wont on smoothly for a time, and very little
could be done without the signor had a bandit it. All
at one*, after victimizing several parties, he soddenly
decamped, and his whereabons became unknown, until
within the last week or two. The following full as-
count of his career, copied from the Standard of
Saturday last, will no doubt be read with interest.
'lt will be neollected that some days ago • pt.TlOll of
respentabh appearance, who described himself se •
'physique, and gave the name of Henry Chides &meth-
nick, had been committed from the Lambeth Polies
Clout, to take hie trial at the ensuing Surrey Sersions,
cli.the Marge of obtaining a dashing wedding-snit, and
other valuable goods, from Mr. Harvey, of the West-
Minister road, and other tradesmen, for the use of a
young lady he had taken from her mother with the
avowed intention of marrying her, but got apprehended
for the fraud. The publicity given to the ease has been
the mews, an it often has, of bringing forth some strange
aiselorares in connection with the heartless oaten of
Sinetberisk, and adding • page of startling matter to
his hitherto eventful hiftory.
"Some days ago • letter, of which the following is
an sixtraot, was received from a gentleman in the
county of Dorset, addressed to the sitting magistrate :
" ' Reading the report of the committal of a man pur-
porting lobe H. O. Sinethwiek, M.D., on a charge of
fraud, he., I beg to inform you that a man whose de.
isoription le MTN] in the last page of this paper, calling
Wawa Vicente, committed erectly a similar frond on
myself and • woman here with whom he lodged in 1863,
that the pretenses—his serving In the Crimea, having a
ball in his aide, nine wounds, a large insurance to pay
up in Faris, being similar to the nee reported—were
aued by him here, when he also nearly induced his
landlady's daughter to marry him, and that he was
nen by my wife in September last, at the junction sear
Bodhill. We think it lithe same man; and if so hie
Mel name id Charles Borromeo, and he has been im-
prisoned at Dartmoor for bigamy and oilier crimes. I
shill be glad to know if be is the same man; as there
are parties in Colebester, in Essex, as well am myself,
who roe weedy to prosecute him.
" This letter war placed in the hands of Sergeant
Odell, 18 L., an intelligent officer, and from enguiriee
coach by hiss, frate of the most startling character have
been disclosed in reference to the character of emeth-
wick canitißorromeo. In the first place Odell found
that on the 13th May, 1858, Alexander Eliirromeo alias
Dr. l'neker, but who described himself as an Italian
count, was apprehended at Reading, in Berkshire, while
delivering a leotare at the theatre, on " Ehnen Bin.

Illtra, however, walked to solve the mystery. No meet-
ing of an Ha/WI conference took place, and the report
from beginning to end was an iinpudeat fabrication.
" The manager of the Morning Star finding himself
'thus imposed upon by Count Borrotneo, applied for and
obtained 'a warrant again* him, but it was nearly two
months before the officer in when hands it had been

tooae year's imprisonment with hard labour.
Unfortunately for the prisoner, but fortunately for
, ends of justice, the proceedings on his trial

lees than three charges of a more serious and '
character against him, that of marrying no less than
vee lain, and committing an act of bigamy in two
