VOLUNTEER PRIZE SHOOTING.

The Annual Prise Shooting of the sth Dorset Nati
Volunteers took plate at the range at Chaffie's Lake, on
Monday. The weather in the morning was rather
equally, and the shooting was scarcely so good ss
formerly, but as the time pained, it beeame finer, and
towards afternoon brightened up a litte. There was
no rein, and it was not Tiny cold; but the shooting did
not gait. maintain the former status of the corps.
This was no doubt, owing to the range being compare.
Steely new to the ULM, perhaps also from the dulluesa
of the weather, and dreadfully dirty state of the ap-
prose\ to the ground, somewhat lowering the moo's
epirits. Kr. Plowman did hla best to mend matters
by providing eapital refreshments in the house belong-
ing to We corps, and in the afternoon all were oem•
fortable enough. It is to be regretted that the ordinary
way of approach to thu range can scarcely bu safely
used while the shooting ii at the longer lenges, as this
often prevents friends who cannot afford the time to
start with the corps from paying them a visit later in
the day. The shooting, it will be seen could not be
completed on the first day, only four sets of prima
being shut for. Thu remainder was adjourned until
Thursday, and about half-past five thu wen tramped
house through the mud.

W E YMOUTII MUNICIPAL EL gO I lON.
Tue excitement which permeates all true and loyal
burgesses; In our borough on the furious It. of Novem-
ber seemed to be oven greater than ever on Wednsaday
morning last, and strange to say, on both aide' of the
water. In Ifelco,ho Regis et course, it was tally
understood that the battle would bc fought out to the
bitter end ; bet Ineura',le men supposed that with
the n nderrtned.eg atrivol at, there would be no oontest
in We.) mouth Ward, Mr. Baunton agreeing to retire
from the onthat with Mr Vertu°, and Mr. C. Beale
being withdrawn by the Liberals. One vote only was
polled hy Mr. Bode; and it is but fair to say that Mr.
11.untou took no measures to get returned. But the
friends of the latter appeared determined to carry him,
c-msidernble excitement wai tLe result. Mr.
.I'.lerman Ayling sat as Ward Alderman in the Old
Town 1411, with Mr. U. Crickwity sud Mr. C. A.
Hocking, a‘sessors, and adopted tho plan of reading
the votes aloud as he proceeded. Of course tie voting
for Mr. Quinton immediately bourne known, and when
it was found that the numbers were considerable, the
Liberal, munowledged that they had Men taken by
surprise. Reinforcements of the committee were goat
for from the other side of the water, Mr. Venue was
on the scene, and a smart contest resulted. In the
Bet Inn appeared to be Mr. Devenish's committee
romi, and Ur. Vertuee was a little nearer the Bridge.
The suddenness of the assault was the means of making
Sir. Baunton's numbers at first three or four times as
many as Mr. Vertue's ; but his friends net to work with
a will, and though at 11 o'clock the state of the poll
published at the Boot ion was Devenish 50, Boonton,
45, Vertuo, 14; Basle, I—at 12 o'clock It we ea fol.
lows :—Devenish, 71, Boonton, ; Vei tut, IS, Beale,
1. Of course, the genuineness of Mr. BOalu'a with-
drawal we. thereby placed beyond doubt; and if Mr.
Bungee himself had lad the macagement, we cannot
doubt that so honourable a man would have prevented
, even one vote being polled for himself,
The recount of the arrangement for the Weymouth
want is thus given us by Mr. "RepeatAly
, on Monday morning Mr. Maven went nevus to Mr. John
Boonton, who stated he could give no decided answer,
till I.e had seen Mr. Boxy De,naish. About two
o'c'eck Mr. hlawn came across :tad said it was all
I •
, arranged satisfactorily. I said 'I e ill nit take this
, evidence on one person's wold,' and I took a witness
with me, and went to Mr. Boonton. to whom I said '1
1
exo edlogly glad we are not going to have a contest
on this ride of the water.' Mr. llaunton replied ' Yes
. such is the &negotiant.' Wean he was pressed to put
, out a bill to that effect, 65 said `No, we have thought
. . . . . .

it better not to do so. At this tim;the Liberals were
there prepwred to start out on a eanvwss, if they had
. . . _

not obiaind • definite answer."

In the Melconibe Regis Ward, there were four com.
mittie ',ems : Mr. Aylesbury, Mr. Vincent, Mr.
Groves, and Dr. Simputi's fiiends meeting at No. 9,
Gleuaster.row, for the t.p of the town, and the Duke
of Cumberland, el ,se to the Hall ; while gr. Bennett,
Mr. Charles, and Ur. Dyer, had committee rooms at
the queen's Hotel, and the Golden Lion Hotel, and
I. •two. c the 0 places ar.d the 'WI carriages r. ittl. d
d.y. The Mayor (Jas. Milledge, E.n.), sat as Ward
Alderman, uanded by Mr. li,au and Mr. T. Fooks, so
that if Own, is any advantage in an assessor of your
own side knowing bow the voting goes, that advantage
wee with the Conservatives. From the very first open.
jug of the poll, there was a grand rush of burgesses,
. who kept Han Mayor and asses,ors so well employed
that 290 votes were polled within the first hour.
Among the lady voters was one of youthful appearance,
but who was, however, on the Burgeas Lad. After
this young lady had voted, the Mayor was about to call
a voter (we believe the young lady mentioned) back;
but among the voters who wet'., pressing forward was
Mr. Par as, who told los Woraidp he had only to poll
the rot, s according to the register, and it was too late
to call the voter back. The Mayor (as Ward Alderman)
replied ! I beg your pardon, sir; it is not too
late for me. I have to revise the sous yet, and
. .

I shall take an opportunity of doing that. hi and
by. Altiding to OA., Mr. TiZSTII, when there
was a little alacaenitig to the flow of voters
said 111011111 observations had been made, to tho effect
that the list would be revis,l afterwards; ho wisbel,

Between twelve and two o'clock the number of voters
who came to thl poll was smaller than has been known
for many years pat to have vJted during thoso hours,
probably on account of tho evident discouragement of
the Morslv, who number so many working men in
their ranks. About three o'clock• voter named Henry
Carter pre,ented Ids paper, describing his residence as
Alexandra-terrace, Commercial•road. The Mayor said
that Henry Cartkr of Alogandra-terrace, had voted
before' and be could not receive the vote.
Mr. HOWARD came up afterwards and said the Henry
Carter who tendered his vote last, was the only Henry
Carter who lived in Alexandra-terrace.

The MAYOR explained that he knew Captain Henri
Carter well. aud he was Ito party described. It appears
that there are threa Henry Carters on the burpes list
with grudilloations for Alezandra•terrace, Wesley.
street, and St. Edmund•street. The latter of those
voted early, and there was no dlapnte about his vote;
but no 11..nry Carter of Weslep,treet, has tendered
his vote. It *ppm.* that the latter elairne for Alex.
andra-terrace also. . . . .

By half-past three, the voting was rather quiet, but
there were a few quarrel' outilde the hall ; nothing very
eerlous. however, took place. By this time about 720
had voted, Motu ling 40 female burgesses: Just before
four, the Mayor de,ired all to be b ilunt, and waited
with watch in hand to declare the poll closed.
. . . . .

Precisely at four o'clock, the Mayor said " I declare
this poll clossd. It would have afforded me • great
d. at of pleasure if I could hero announced to you the
names of the winning candidates ; but as my colleague,
Mr. Rowe bas taken the tally instead cf myself, I em
that straightforward man that I cannot tf.ll you what
Ido not know of iny own knowledge. I have no
doubt of the correchar.;s of his figures; but I will postpone
the declaration of the poll till to-morrow morning at
at 12 o'clock —(applause).
On tilt, there wer.? cries of " Pat a stamp on the
Ilk !"

TI.o MAYOR ,i.l " 1 will put a 111,1111) OG, if you
like ; but the difference is so great that you do not
want any stamp, for the lowest wan of the first four
is nearly a hundred above the hlghe it o! the other—
(applause).
The :assembly then separated with three cheers for
the Mayor and asses>ors.
Of course non-official returns are subject generally
to BOW° little doubt; but we believe so closely was the
tally kept by Mr. Alsomor Rowe, that the following
were gener•lly accepted as the accurate numbers
towards and at the clove of the polling:
2.0 3 0 4.0
420 471 517
431 476 5117
405 448 477
410 462 475
240 324 381
:06 261 348
_--

The number' of voters who polled this year was 802,
the last being Mr. James Grant. The aggregate num-
hers for the winner+ (all Conservatives) are considerably
larger than last year. while those of the three losing
candidates (Liberals as last year) have couriderably
increased, is will be teen by the following comperison :
1870. 1871.
Mr. Robertson ... 5:31 Dr. Simpson .. 517
ID. Talbot 486 Mr. Aylesbury ... 507
M. Thomas ... 182 Mr. Vinoont ••• 477

Mr. Charles 317 Mr. Citiflea ••• 384
Mr. Muon 315 Mr. Bennett .•• 348
Kr. Buck ... 253 Mr. Dyer ... 287
The interest was then transferred to the Weymouth
Ward, where Mr. Reunion's friends and Mr. Venue
had been fighting a close battle, and Mr. Venue
had, it was believed, gained considerably on the unwill-
ing caudidale. V+lien it was over.
Mr: Alderman ATLIIIG said that the poll was so close
between Mr. Vertu° and Mr. Reunion, that he would
postpone the declaration till tomorrow at 10 O.OlOCk,
be dial not feel you, satisfied and he should not like
to make • declaration without being positive, and he
bad decided to go through the papers ossoludy. (Vows;
Who can understead it?)
