PCTEIIO MEAT. —OUT market was on Friday last
largely supplied with veal of an inferior description,
and the whole carcase of a calf eshibitell for sale
had every appearance or the animal's having died of
thwase. The hatcher who bail this au-milled veal for
de hail puffed the meat as much as possible with wind,
bet there was not the slightest particle of fat to be
semi ; and although the llourolredge hail been used
with so unsparing hand, the various-coloured spots
of Week, blue, aud g een—w here tlemanposition lied
t Iken ',lace—sure pia.nly discernible, and presented
the oppeariewe of a leopsnl. In any other town in
the kincloin the entire carcase would have been
,i2e4 and burnt as wholly unlit for human food,
and the party exhibiting it for sale severely
punished ; hut in Weymouth, unfortunately, nu
iimat insiss.tor is appointed. and the outrage is
allowed to take place with impunity The sult;evt
way well claim the early convideratioi, of the
l'orporation, as if this state of things is allowed to
exist. lnwase %of the most fearful kind may be el •
gendered by the poor eating this maw nolesmue fm.l
which the) arc iselueml to punliase on the score of
rhompimeis..ti' not only this, the market w ill
obiain so bad a reputation. that every respectiilde
iouteher, for his own reputation's sake, will mei it
urooonary to give up his stall there, and the revenue
arising from the market-tolls will thereby be OM-
ai.l..rai.l% reduced. Itoth for the sake of the charac-
ter of the market anol tete health tof the inhatotants„
therefore. a strict vigilence ought to be obverved on
articles exposed for sale for human food, which ate
subject to putrefaction.

W 3 he. and that gentleman stated it was to the
interest of Wei month that their contributions
t-wards the parish church should 110 kept up, else
the jcwishioners of W 3 ke would make an effort to

three times the amount of hia rate, and Mr. :Martin

for opmoing the rate last year was Immure it mai
gokl,ck.l how only about a third of the parishioners.
lie would readily accomptiny Mr. Bartlett to obtain
subwriptions for the amount required, which this
year. ill o.llle.lllrllCW of the churchwardens having
the eindows of W 3 ke elitin.lll, will amount
hi ahout 4:20. or two thirsts the au m. tof the whole

4 o'clock in the afternoon of Monday the 23n1
and at 7 o'clock in the evening of the same due the
first important meeting of the series asinouliasl to he

the weather was moat nape mitious a large mower

The attendance was large, atia the devoeional spirit
of the meeting all that could be desired. At 10

purpomes, and as the funds of the Association hate

evening the Hey. T. Beckley, of Sherborne, preached
the •• Aessaation sermon." The subject, •• The
future perfection and glory of the Church, the
design of the love and humiliation I .1* the Saviour."
A great number of perilous aussembleal to hear the
rev, gentleman, and the chapel was tilled by an
attentive audience.

Previous to the preacher pronouncing the bene-
diction the Rev. E. Conder sucantly detailed to the
congregation the piesent operations and financial
conditi.ni of the Association, not only allowing that
its entire interests were never in a inure healthy
state, but likewise *toting that a scheme of houie
missionary effort was being organized which would
greatly enlarge the Association's sphere of usefulmas,
and cuitsoquently call for increased liberality. Tte
Rev. T. Beckley having chilled the servioe, the
Lord's Supper was commemorated by a large body of
cimununioults from different churches.
A collection was made after the service jo
