iallustry end persevering application (aPPI10".)
In the walk of life many of them would be calk., to
pursue it might bee question, as Mr. Neenhant 11.3 d
said, whether this or that particular brat- ch of b amyl
was useful, but babies of industry and application would

the great battle field of life no talent would avail a man
unless ho had industry, and by applicatiou great things
could be achieved. Let that be an incentive to them
in their future course at that school and in life. He
went ou to remark how thu career of men was associated
with the cheek lit which they were ethic iteil,ittel that
in the records of Harrow, Eton, %Ty kehew, Shells one
end other great schools were written the names
of many honoured men once scholars who ILA
gone forth to serve thin God and country in church
ettel state. From his (the soeskor's) own school was
one they had expected that day—Sir %V. Erle, late Chief
Justice of the Court of common Pleas. The boys of
the Dorset County School could not appeal to any
history—they hod to make that history. They had
got by their exertions there and by their conduct in
after life to win for tho school those honours Ind dis-
tinctions which have so long surround,! our more
ancient public schools. To them then he coalineuded
the future of this their county school. Let them re-
member that there was no path which those distils-
'wished men had trod that was not open eqn ally to them.
They Lad in their excellent Head kfaater,and thoessatiee
ciated with him, those who would assist their studies
in the various departmants of learning, and do all in
their power to bring them to the highest positions in
church and state, fle hoped that the fondest anticipa-
tions of tte founders awl supporturs of the Doraet
County School wuald be realise-I, and that it would
rank with those old and time-honoured institutions, and
would rent forth boys, as they had done, to evree out
c 0031110,1 country, to the best of their
plan.").
The prize hooks were then distributed to the winners,
ambi st.inwithetic &wet mg.
, Mr. Fiona tendered thank% to the donors of prises,
and egsecially to Vie 1t... W. P. Ward.
The Rev. Perceval WARD expressed the satisfaction
it had afforded himself and others to offer prize,, and
the inb rest he bad taken in the school since the idea of
it was first euggedel By way of aucouragement to the
boys to make • history for this school, he mentioned
that Harrow war eriginally a parish flay school, but that
five Primo Ministers Lied been educated there. The
prize he offend for the study of ecclesiastitul history he
thought would well follow the Bidrop's wiz., for the
hest examination on the Prayer Book. Long sines •
distinguished member of the Vatican Council at Rowe
said "To appeal to hast,ry was treason to the Church"
—he meant, of court., his own church, the church of
items. Now all he (Mr. Ward) could nay on that was
no much the worse for that churoh—(hear, Lear). But,
as members of the church of England, be Dahl,
that the more they appealed to history the mere
they would find their position to be a true and a
utiong one: therefore, he thought, they could not do
better than encourage the study of eoclesiastical history :
the more lie himself studied it the more certain he
became of the strong position of the Church of England
to which he bad the honour to belong. Be called on
them to thank the preacher of the day. his sermon
would eause them to rejoicer that the school was founded
on religion, and he was qutie certain it errs the only
true principle. When the arrangements for this day
were being dismissed, a layman said, "Let us have the
service of the church in the best room in the build•
ing," and he believed that was the general feeling of
the laity of this county and throughout the country—

The Aoictaut Secretary, Harbour Department, Board a

Mr TIZARD said this started an engineering question. if the
reclamation of the Backwater would have any 1•111:11 effect as
silting the harbour, he would not entertain the *clingier for a
moment. Ile suppaccel the letter must be laid on the table for
consideration.
AS 11111.1SATI0N.
Mr. lllLLltline referred to the coat of &MIS which had been
Presented by the late Alderman Hancock, which haft been
removed from its original position, and replaced by the ancient
oat of amis. He thought the Domed should lave been
isnuallted before the units Were permanently fixed. Ile
believed that the arms presented by Mr. Hancock should have
been &Moved to remain in the place chosen for thein by an
nani if the Council at lisest Until that resolution
had been rawhides'.
The MAWR sahl the arms were not permanently fixed.
Mr. Iltuanoit resumed that there am. another matter which
affix:test him penumally. During Mr. Tirard's mayomltY, he
had a sale connected with the harbour, and at the suggestion
of his ffon, be mused a leant with a bill of the sale to be
fixed at the entrance of the Pile Pier. There the board re-
mained during Mr. TisenCs mayoralty ; hot sine.° he had
ventilated the efibjcsft of the Kos al Ann., he eras Informed
that the Mayor bad objected to the board remsisiiilC there.
Sulpequently, Mr. Smith had told him that the Mayor luul had
the board taken flown. Ile did list know that the Mayor had
any Inure authority over the Pile Pier more than
Uiljedge. alderman. William Roberts, councillor, or any other
member of the Town Connell. Ile was awry U the Mayor
thought be was injuring him In his business. for before he
eofild do Mat, he must remove two powerful ingredients to
IslIC,Olll, hi, honour and integrity- (approbation).
The MAYOR iald lie Wa.s sorry Mr. Milk Age bad made these
observations. Ile had not the slightest angry feeling, and he
was Mire if Mr. Millalge had heard what he (the Mayor) said
him last evening, it would have removed any Idea of his
having attacked him. There was no man in the world he had
a greater respect for than Mr. Mltlodtce. As to his auction
boards, he (the Mayor) had had several applications for fan
n 11.16011 to exhibit boards with bills on the pier, and he had
replied that be thought any thing of a public nature might he
exhibited there. but not of a private kind. As far as Mr.
Millefge WM concerned, no man In Weymouth had a greater
right than he to place bills there, Saha was Um oldeatanctionoer

Mr. 111031A3 thought they must admit all or none.

AMALGAMATION OF TUN DOROUGII TRCNTA.
The Maron said this was a most important matter. They
must bear in mind that for a boig time no Act of Parliament
had been passed for the regulation of local matters. Recently
mmy grievances had sprung up, which can only be removed
by a new Act. The first win with respect to the licensing

petent amine ums. They had no protection for their own
boatmen when the fl-et were hero.
The TOWM CLZIGt look it that they were perfectly justiled in
refusing licenees to persons who were incompetent or of bad
character. Ile also remarked that fuller powers had beg n
granted by the I,wal Goventment Act, for the regulation of
bathing machines.
