THANES TO THE MAYOR.

Mr. ANDREWS said they bad all observed—and it had
bevn • theme of admiration by every one—the vet,' effi-
cient way in which the Mayor had carried out the ar-
rarjementa connected with the ebition. He, there-
fore, ibti not think they could derail from this, their
Brat meeting after the latir had came off, without cc-
pressitiz to his Worship their besttlianks for the very
able manner in which be had Ise:firmed the very ardu-
ous duties devolving upon Inni on the occasion. He
was sure they would all agree with him that his Worship
had acquitted himself 10 a way which reflected credit
on himself penmnally, and holiout to the town. He
the efore begged in move the following revolution, which
lie proposed should be entered on the minutes of their
pruswedings :
The Council, Peeing the unwea-ied seal and activity
of H. Deveuish, Lg., the Mayor, in carrying out the
wishes or the inhabitants of the teen and of the local
committee, for rendering the late jorchester meeting
of the Bath and West of England Agricultural Society as
attractive as . 'hie. and the ability and munificence
with wilicn he so effectually uphekl the office of chief
magistrate of thin borough. and of Ilie Corporation gene-
do tenser LDS their thanks for his exertions on
ill. occasion."

:V.-. I; ALPIN said be bad very great pleasure in second-
tiie resoleiion, and of persmally expressing his
WAIL, to his Worship, and likewise of bearing his testi•
mony to the observations made al the dinner by the
Council of She Bath and Weat of &gland Society, that
his Worship i•ad used evev poedsle etertion in a
power in ;iroinoting the success of Sc exhibition. —The
motion having been unanimously carried,—The MAXIM
said tbs. this vote of Anoka had cone on him quite un-
e:iseethrlly. If he bad given satisfietion to the mein-
hers of the Council end to his fellow townsmen by his
attempts to promote the inteiests of the town, he was
highly relined. His only fear was that he would have
to apologise for not having perfumed his duty as the
vor of Dorchester so efficiently &she ought.
The meeting then separated.

BLAN DVORD. —A buiff"dC'harity.— The report thAt the
deceased pauper-woutan, Apford, having been in
possession of a considerable sum of money, has
induced the Board of Guardians to investigate the
matter. The result is that it has been satisfactorily
proved that the sum left was a large one; but, as
we before stated, the husband quickly and secretly
guttered all together and left the town, and, as he
now refuses to state the amount, the exact sum can-
not be ascertained. We are, however, glad to know
that the guardians have a power to compel the pay-
ment back of the monetary rebid' granted, and that
the power is likely to be exercised.
FLOCICULTUI:AL AND HORT,2ILTURAL SOCI !TY.
—The committee have wisely &tided on postponing
the show announced to take place here on June
the 26th to September the 6th. The little maturing
weather we have had must have especially operated
against bringing to perfection horticultural rarcties
in our cottage gardens, and therefore, the moat pro-
minent and useful object ainied at by the society
would be partially if not whol:y negatived. The
drawback to a apring show may, however, be the
very means by which an excellmt autumnal show
may he secured.
STI7KMINSTt:It NEWTOS.—The Commissioners of
Inland Revenue have refine.' to accede to the memo-
rial of Smwrintendent Hammond, of the Dorset
police, praying for a remission of the penalty in-

Taxes, for making an untrue declaration as to the
amount of his income.

Eveimunx.—The Bth anoiveesary o 7 the Evershot
Friendly Society was held in this town Tuesday week.
On formeroceptions GI in society lias been rAVIIII red with
whit. is familer to all as " Queen's weather," but
on the present .occasiou the elements were unfavour-
able to the no:others. From sunrise to about nine
o'clock the weather was most propitious. and the in-
habitants were up, we had /dulcet said before the
lark, and busily employed in deconiting the exterior
of their dwellings; Hags gradually appeared in upper
windoes, liuLe Inauc'oes we,-eplauted elon:, the sides
a the main street, and altogether this little town
presented a most lively appearance. Soon after the
hour above iselicated, however, the aspect of the
sky became sullen, ram followed, and continued at
most unpleasantly-frequent intervals during the
entire day, an as wh ,Ily to spud the enjoyment of I
this festive day. The Beanduster band, under the I
direction of Mr. Cox, was engaged for the occasion, I
and arrived soon after ten. The member-roll having
been called, the members proceeded to church,
accompanied by the choir and Sunday school children. :
The whole of the choral portions of the service
including Weldon's anthem from the 150th Psalm ,
(" praise God in Ins holiness") were extremely !
well rendered by the choir, which we are happy to
tind still retains its position in the neighbourhood
among it, compeers. A most appropriate sermon
was preached by the Rev. E. Collins from Ist Peter,
sth chapter and 7th verse. After leaving the
church the members sat down to an excellent dinner
provided by limit Spong, at the Acorn Inn. The
honorary members also dined in another room, the
chair being occupied by C. H. Baske,t, Esai., the
trearerer. There were 1111.0 present, J. Martin, Esq.,
A. Martin,Esq., Messrs. Henry Miller, J. Trenchanl
Belcher, Itothwell, and Sarell. Between live and
six o'clock the members took their accustomed walk
into the 31elbury Park,headed by the band, and then
returned to the Acorn Green, where the fair six,
notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, had
mustered in goodly numbers to partake of the plea-
sures of the dance. Dancing soon commenced,
and was kept up with much spirit until
Cie cool and darkened aspect of evening gave warn-
ing to depart. It is gratifying to observe the con-
tiuuing 1111CCOSII of this society, under the able
management of its respected secretary. Mr. Joseph
Clements. We observe that the capital stock now
amounts to £1074 14s. 2d., a substantial proof of the
provident habit, of its members, and an
.example
worthy of imitation by other localities.
