The distress in Lancashire not only still continues,
but unfortunately still increases, hut the means of relief
seem to be liberslly supplied. The correspondent of •
Manchester contemporary, writing from Wigan, says :
--The collections on Sunday last on behalf of the
distressed operatives, in the chureltes and chapels of
the town, amounted to over LIM
ixikes this was
about the expenditure last week the the hands
of the relief committee remildn t the same.

I cry low at present, but on Wealneaday a call, arnounte,,

the expenditure. The cotton trade in the town is still

THE CuLLIRRY OWNERS OF YORKSHIRE AND TIIEIR
Woitiote.N. -A step in the right direction (says the
Leeds Mercury), and one which will probably lead to
a beets r understanding between the colliery owners and
their workmen, wax inaugurated on Tuesday in Leeds.
Mest iif the principal proprietors of collieries in the
West Yorkshire district attended a meeting called to
consider the best means of establishing a fund for the
slime rt of the widows and orphans of those who should
unfortunately meet their death whilst engaged in
mining operations. There was but one opinion
expressed in favour of the proposal, and a preliminary
committee was appointed to prepare a scheme, it being
wisely determined that the basis of the proposed union
should be on as wide a foundation as possible, and
embrace not only all the ocilliery proprietors in the
distiict, but also the parties who are immediately
interested, as well at the general public.

COUNTY COUNTS.

Sin,—Pormit me to :n t rude on your valuable columns
by asking a few questions respecting a County Court,
which is not bold at Stnrininster Marshall, Longhlue,
or Canford. First,---[ believe that if a plaint be
entered, and the defendant should settle it before the
Court-day, it is the duty of the functionary of the
court to keep it strictly private. But this lam sorry
to say is not the case in the court I now allude to, as it is
whispered in everybody's car. 18 this a proper proceed-
ing? Is it right or justice as man to man! I contend
it is not, nor should it be allowed on any consideration;
but it will not, lam afraid, ever be stopped until a
certain functionary, who is very fond of Elva fgsano, be
cautioned that on a repetition of it he wilibe discharged.
M.my a man might be thrown back in the world—l
may say ruined—through this vile conduct. Again, is
it ight or reasonable that the bailiff should be permitted
to make a general practice of asking people for "a job?"
take the money and then enter the plaint in the county
court himself, thereby causing many people to be
"county-courted" who otherwise would not? I think
it is going a great deal beyond the limits of his duties.
Whore are the eyes of the public that such conduct bo
slowed? The bailiff ought merely to servo summonses
and execute warrants, and dared to go a stop beyond
his duty. Let this gentleman take timely notice, flee
from the wrath to come, and abdicate such gross habits,
or it may, sooner or later, be brought to a crisis.—l
am, Sir, your humble servant,
A LOVER OF FAIR PLAY.

Court fletoo.

Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by the younger
members of her household, and suite, arrived at the
Nore, on her return from Germany, about 6 o'clock
on Sunday night, having had a fine passage in the
Victoria and Albert. The Royal yacht was anchored
there for the night, and proceeded up the river early-
next 'morning.

ABDICATION OF KING OTIIO OF GREECE.

Greece is revolutionised, and King Otho has abdi-
cated, and has taken his departure, but his destination
was not known. The Observer, of Sunday, in referring
to this circuuistanee, says :—" Perhaps the most im-
portant event of all, as foreshadowing that 'fear of
change' which, in the words of Milton, 'perplexes
monarchy,' is the abdication or deposition—for there
are two accounts of the act—of Otho, King of Greece.
One account states that he has abdicated in favour of
his brother ; another, that he and his dynasty have
been solemnly deposed by the Provisional Govern-
ment, sprung from the insurrection that has
just taken place, in the name of the people
and the army. This event will lead to grave
complications, in consequence of the intimate connec-
tion of the late King with the European despotic system
now in the ascendent, and perhaps bring on • general
war. The Russian, Austrian, and French rulers will
never permit a republie in Greece if they can help it
while England, on the other hand, cannot allow •
second military despotism, however small, to be estab-
lished on the shoran of the Mediterranean in close con-
tiguity to Turkey, whose integrity it is at once her
honour and her interest to uphold. It will be seen,
therefore, that, politically speaking, the deposition or
abdication of King Otho is possibly pregnant with serious
mnsequences."

GAS SUPPLY AT WIMBORNE.

SIB—As an inhabitant of Whnborne, I think it deal.
rablo that our streets should ho lighted sufficiently for
people to see a few yards before them. Such, however,
is not the case (especially these last four or five evenings)
for one could not discern a vehicle at the distance of more
than 10 or 12 yards in consequence of the short supply
of gas. I believe there is a gas-rate made and (*Mated,
so it cannot he for want of funds. I believe, too, the
fault lies with the gas company, they having more
customers than can be supplied from their present
works. But then ought they not to enlarge them, or
discharge some of their customers? The price of the
gas also is more than in auy other town in the county,
being Bs. 41. per thousand feet. In Poole I believe it
is Os. and of mach better quality; why should not we
in Witnborne have it the same? In my house I have
15 burners, and sometimes we are obliged to light lamps
from being unable to get a supply of ga.s. I have
enquired of others and find the complaint general.
Apologising for thus trespassing on your valuable space,
and hoping abler pens than mine will take the subject
up, if the thing be not remedied, I am, Sir,
A GAS CONSUMER.

AUTUMN FLOWERS.
--
Those few pale Autumn flowers,
How beautiful they are I
Than all that went before,
Than all the Summer store,
, .

How lovelier far!
And why ?—They are the last!
The last! the last I the last I
Oh ! by that little word,
How many thoughts are stired
That whisper of the pest!
Pale flowers! pale perishing flowers
Ye're types of precious things;
Types of those bitter moments,
That flit the life's enjoyments,

On rapid, rapid wings. 7
Last hours with parting dear ones,
(That time the fastest spends)
Last tears in silence shed,
Last words half uttered,
Last looks of dying friends.
Who but would fain compress
A life into • day,
The last day spent with one
Who, em the morrow's sun,.

Must leave us, and for aye'?
Oh, precious, precious moments
Pale flowers ! yo're types of those ;
The saddest, sweetest, dearest,
Because like those the nearest
To an eternal close.
Pale flowers ! pale perishing flowers
I woo your gentle breath—
I leave the Summer rose
For younger, blither brows;
Tell me of change and death.

THE CONVICT PREEDY.

To the Editor of the Dorset County Express and
A gricultural Gazelle.

Stn,—While reading the report of the late meeting
of the magistrates assembled in Quarter 51389i008, I was
astonished to find that the Visiting Justices had peti-
tioned the Secretary of State to have the prisoner Preedy
(now awaiting his trial for the murder of a warder at.
the Portland Convict Establishment) tried at the Central
Criminal Court, because,as the requisitionists allege,hia
conduct is very violent, and they are obliged to have
recourse to severe measures to keep him in subjection.
I naturally inquired—Why wish this man to be removed?'
Why cannot he be an well looked after in Dorchester as
in Newgate Gaol To this the answer is given—lf he
is examined at the Old Bailey it will be at the winter
assizes, whereas if at Dorchester he must be kept till
March next. So then, because be is a hardened wretch,
and deeply stained with crime, his days for repentance
are to be curtailed because he gives more trouble to his-
keepers than others. Is it so? and if no, is this conduct
in accordance with the doctrines laid down for our guid-
ance in Holy Writ It has been asserted over and over
again, and the almost daily recurrence of cases of mur-
der strongly confirms the statement, that the punish-
ment of death is no preventative of this awful crime.
But as the law now stands, and "life for life" is the
dread alternative, the time of the unhappy culprit
ought not, I conceive, to be shortened because lie dis-
plays a hardened and stubborn diaposition. On the
contrary, every means and the longest time ought to be
given him, so that he may repent of his crime and make
his peace with his offended Maker. How different was
the conduct displayed by the future Judge while here
on earth. When a woman MU brought before him
taken in the act of adultery (a crime punishable by
death under the Jewish law) he said to the unhappy
ainner—"Hath no man condemned thee ?" She answered.
"No man, Lord." "Neither" said the Saviour, "do
I condemn thee. Go and sin no more." But the Visit-
ing Justices of Dorset say to this murderer—" You shall
not only have no opportunity of sinning again, bat we
will take the best means we can that your time on
earth shall be as short as possible." To those who have
thus acted I would commend for their future guidance
the sentiments contained in Shakapeare'e "Merchant
of Venice," and more especially the concluding lines—

"We do pray for mercy,
And that same prayer doth teach us all to reader
The deeds of mercy,"

Perhaps this may meet the eye of some one move able
to do justice to the subject, and if so I trust they wilt
take the matter up or. behalf of the miserable man,
referred to.

YARCOMBE.—The farmers of Devonshire—or at
least that part of it about Yaroombe—do not seem
to admire the game-preserving endeavours of their
landlords. Last Tuesday they had their annual
ploughing match, and at the dinner thereafter
found themselves in the unusual position of not
having a landlord among them. Naturally enough,
they got to talking of their grievances, and chief of
these was the quantity of game which fed off their
crops. Mr. Jennings declared he had seen whole
pieces of corn destroyed by the hares and rabbits
which swarmed on the land. Another speaker did
not think there was much use in trying to get good
ploughing while the hares and rabbits were allowed
to eat up the crops. In a subsequent conversation
we get a rough estimate of the loss caused to the
farmer by the game, for one gentleman, who no
doubt know what he was about, said he would be
glad to give up ten acres of his farm, and pay all
cost of rent, " outs" and fencing, if the hares could
be Confined to those ten acres. He should, he de.
elated, be a great gainer by such an arrangement.
The chairman, however, went beyond all bounds.
He called attention to the fact that not only were
farmers expected to feed the game, but, by the
famous Berners-Leighton Bill, they had also to pay
in the police rates for preserving it. Of course
these are very dangerous sentiments; and if the
landlord of these Yarcombe farmers, who is des-
cribed as being a good man, does not take care to
put down such proceedings, what is to become of
game preserving. The Yarcombe contagion may
spread, and, in the end, the tenant farmers may
put an end to the game laws by refusing to vote for
a man who supports them.

MELCOMBE REGIS NATIONAL SCHOOL

Sis,—Knowing your willingness in a:posing all
abuses, lot them be wird they may, I trust I nood
not apologise for the subject of this letter. One any
last week, at the National School, Melcombe Regis,
a little child, four years old, committed the awful
(ammo of unlacing one of her boots. For this she
was told to put her hands behind her. So far, so
good. But 1 suppose the child did not do it so
quickly as she might havo done, for which she was
very roughly handled. Her hands were tied behind
her, and in this state she was sent home alone. Her
hands were tied so tight, that the next morning
when the girl's mother took her to the schoolmistress
the marks were still on her arms. Now 1 think, Sir,
that a word or two from your powerful pen in your
widely circulated paper would do much towards
stopping what I call an outrage on little children of
four years old.—l am, Sir, yours, dm,

WOOL MARKET.

LONDON.—Tbe demand for wool, both home-grown

BUDEIRRerrRLD.—In our wool market, business is
reported steady at firm prices—a disposition to speculate
beginning to make itself manifest on the part of our
manufacturers, owing to an apprehended further rise in

Sart India, opened on Tuesday evening, with a cata-
logue of 2,172 bales. The attendance of the home
trade is good, but there is scarcely the usual number of
foreign buyers. The competition is fair, and prices
show an advance on the last miles of from 3d. to id.

wIMBORNE GAS compArtr.
To the Editor of the Dorset County Express and
Agricultural Gazette.

SIR.—In reference to the letter which appeared
in to-day's Telegram upon this subject, I am one of
the lucky shareholders of the company who have
never received one half-penny in the strap of divi-
dend; and never shall whilst the works are mis-
managed as they appear to me to have been for many
years past. At the commencement the shareholders
were assured a prospect of 'LI per cont. ; but would
you believe, Mr. Editor, at the end of a quarter of
century not one half-penny has ever been paid,
Surely there'ls not a similar instance in the kingdom.
It is useless of your correspondent to complain to
the company of the supply of gas, he should addreaa
his complaints to the manager, who seems to have
uncontrolled possession of the works. Much blame
is due to the persons who were directors in allowing
that body to become defunct, and the sooner the
shareholders bestir themselves the better, for it
there be grounds for complaint now, as to the supply
of the gas, what will it be when the winter is
further advanced? I know of no reason why the
Wimborne works should pay no dividend. There
certainly would have been a dividend before this if
the Directors had not grossly neglected their duty, fort
am informed that more than one offer was sent to the
Chairman, to rent the works some two or three years
since by most respectable persons, which offers hays
remained unnoticed to the present moment I The
whole matter of these works is perfectly inexplicable.
Let the shareholders call a meeting, if it can be
found out who they are, and do something, that it
may no longer be said of Wimborne Gas Company
what can be said of no other place, that at the
end of a quarter of a century there has never beez.
one farthing paid to tho shareholders. By allowing
space for this in your useful paper, you will oblige,.
yours obediently,
A SHAREHOLDER.
Wimborne, October 23, 1862.
P.S.—I would suggest that • Committee be ap-
pointed, and an engineer or other competent person
employed, and I have no doubt it would soon be
discovered why Wimborne Gas Works are unlike.
all others in not paying dividends.

STATISTICS.

A statement of the painfully interesting sort has been
publishid, showing the number of paupers in receipt
of relief in England and Wales on the last
day of the fire weeks of January, 1861-2,
of which the following is • seminary t—First
week of January, 1861, 380,538'; 1862, 961,384, being
an increase this you of 40,846. Second week, 1861,
769,839; 1862, 671,029, an increase of 8,406. Third
week. 1961, 848,379; 1862, 822,677, or a decrease of
25,702. Fourth week, 1861, 948,661; 1862, 939,711, •
decrease of 6,960. Fiftm week, 1861, 919,999; 1862,
90,110, being an increase of 25,111. The net increase
in the number of paupers in Sc. weeks of January 1862..
as compared with the Ave weeks of January, 1861, is
41.710. On the last Saturday of 1861 Lancashire and
Cheshire had nearly 100,000 persons receiving relief
front the poor-rates ; to that number 2,700 were added
in the first week of the present year; afterwards the
lists were increased the rate of 4,oollruunes per week.
By the end of January the aggregate enumeration had
risen to 117,032; therefore, at that time the figures
were 17 per cent, above the point to which the tide of
pauperism had reedit 4 at the end of the old year.
Compared with tin cmoraponding week of 1861 we And
the augmentation of the number 33,208, or 8912 per
cent. High as these figures are they are still below the
numbers up to which the crisis of 1657-8 drove the
pauperiun at that time. In the last week of January.
1858, the lists contained • record of 133,479 persons
who were then on the rates. The only other divisions
which exhibit any serious increase are the West
Midland where the rise is measured by 864
per cent, over the corresponding week of
jut 7eer, end the Yorkshire. where the
excess is 1289 per cent. In the other divisions of the
kingdom the pauperism is stationary or cieelieing. The
metropolis is less burdened by 10,600 paupers, or 9-26
per cent., than it was in 1361. -

LAW AND CRIME.

TRU DORIAN HILL MURDREL—ChstIIon. the eagle,
driver on theNeweastle and Carlisle Railway, who some
time since was charged with the murder of Jane
Emmerson, an old woman residing at bureau Hill, was
brought up on Monday at the Carlisle AssiEl4 to be tried
for the mune. The evidence against the amused was
purely cirourestantiza, the footprints seen in lin
Runnersou'e garden on the morning after the murder
corresponding with the prisoner's boots, with the exception
of the " 'parables," which it was proved had been
subsequently extracted, having been one of the strongest
points relied upon by the prosecution. In extracting
the nails Charlton forgot that he had left their
imprersion behind him, and as the number indicated in
the foot print oorresponded with the number taken from
the boots this was certainly a strong circumstantial
ground of identification, supported as it was by others of
lesser but still great importance. The jury found the
prisoner guilty, but, in consequence of his previous
good character, he was strongly recommended to mercy.
Sentence of death was passed, the judge in doing so
having been deeply affected.
The trial of the three men—Robert Robinson, William
Robinson, and Hugh Earl—engaged in the recent
poaching afros,' near Carlisle came on at that city on
Tuesday. They were all found guilty of manslaughter,
though not in an equal degree. Robert Robinson
received twelvemonth's imprisonment, while William
Robinson and Earl were sentenced respectively to seven
years' penal servitude. The sentence seems to have
given offence out of doors, as the judge, Mr Justice
Willes, was greeted with hooting" as he departed from
the court in his (terrine.
George Clark, who it will be remembered stabbed a
tax-collector, named Prater, at Newcastle, in October
last, on the steps of his own office, was tried for murder ,
on Thursday last. The evidence against hint was of the
most direct character; in fad the man was caught red-
Ninded. In accordance with the eccentricity, real or
simulated, by which his conduct has been characterised
mince the pommission of the crime, Clark refused
counsel atntoondtirfted,hti defence himself in the most
ertraordinary manner; rendering, it diffictilt to say
whether he was more knave than fool. On heating the
sentense of death pronounced he lost somewhat of his
confident air, but on leaving the dock he coolly informed
the judge that his lordship was " a good old wife."

WOOL MARKETS.

LONDON, Friday.—The public sales of colonial wool
commenced yesterday. The attendance of both home
and foreign buyers has been large, and the biddinp,
generally speaking, have ruled steady, at prices about
equal to those realised at last auctions. The trans-
actions for extort have, for the most part, been on
French and Belgian account, and chiefly confined to
middling and inferior Cape wools. _English wool, by
private contract, bu moved off heavily, and deep-
grown qualities have barely supported previous rated
Down wool has maintained late rates.
BRADIORD.—The business of the week in wool has
been most circumscribed. Prices are still drooping for
all kinds of bright haired sorts, Down wools main-
timing their poiition with increased steadiness. Skin
wools are now pressing somewhat heavily on the
market, which naturally tends to depress other kinds.
Lriciarra.—There is not much doing in wool, the
trade being flat.
LIVERPOOL, Friday.—A moderate amount of business
has been done this week, at prices without any material
alteration. Our stocks continue in a very limited
compass, enabling holders to be pretty firm in their
demands.
