existing railway culvert, ith the toirii drainage
running into it, carried down the Backwater as
far sa Mr. Weldord's timber pound, not with a
view of emptying its oontents into the Back-
water, but to enable them "to take such
steps.. should be afterwards thought necaumu7
to get rid of the town sewage." This, then,
is the scheme propounded—the handful of
dust thrown up to blind the eyes of the
inhabitants as to the evils that would result
from the proposed railway embankment. There
are few older, and certainly no more forcible,
dicta of proverbial philosophy than the one which
tells tia that " the cubist should stick to his last."
The worthy member of shoee is pretty sure to get
into diamlties if he undertake matters foreign
to his vocation. Bo in the present instance. In
calculations of compound interest Alderman
Eliot probably is as much at home as most men
of his profession, but when he talks of building
large culverts, and finding an outlet for the
sewage afterward', we are constrained to in-
quire—" Who's your engineer I" We feel quite
as convinced as Alderman Eliot that the time
will shortly come when the subject of drainage
will have to be taken up in real earnest by the
Council; but who, with even a single grain of
common sense, tronkl (MOT think of laying down a
portion of the main sewer before the mitten was
fixed upon, the district surveyed, and the levels
taken I It is impossible to tell, till this
is done, whether the proposed extension of
the railway culvert would not be worse than
useless. It certainly wcruld be if laid at too low
a level. Besides, the fall would be in quite an
opposite direction to that laid down by any
engineer in existence, unless the object be to
carry the "swage into the Backwater, and there
leave it to the ruin of the town, and the
decimating, by disease, of its inhabitants. The
Standard, in an excellent article, after referring
to the drainage of London, says:—

"I. Me manser the soma towns are Waring up their
streets, layiag down sewer., and carrying their him
culverts into the sea; but, after all, the nerisanse is only
shifted, eat &leashed. The ong is Weekend with
the polluting deems, end the ma water eels shmekelly
epos the sweep maim to the predestine of nozions
= Athke, names whereof are frightful sad the seent
. &weep is hard to be got rid ot—ia fast,
there is warmly say abeenia•tde thing so hard to be got
rid of as We. If it were peeing' to poar the whole of
our meeropolitaa or lowa sewage down some especial*
theft, to mingle for ever out of sight with Om waters
under the earth,we should be well cadent to do it. But
this is • feat which we cannot arsomplish. We may bury
the dead, but we menet bury the sewage. We cannot
drown it, nor yet burn it. It mems to have • resurrection
and an immortality of its own. Go whither we may, in a
stearn•boet au the Thanamir to a residence au the
mast, there is the hateful for ever haunting us—
to be seen—to be mated—to loathed. There is one
lemon to be learned from these unpleasant facts„ and it
Is this—that the attempt. to destroy sewage Is Itcrom
enterprise; it is inbm lie be uneven, end no we
treat it as • friend it will be oar persistent enemy.
Drainage will never be perfected tin sewage is utilised'
do what else we may the nuisanos will haunt us, until
we learn the lemon which Nature seems determined to
teach. Earth will not swallow the sewage, nor will the
°omit engulf It; vegetation demands it, and thither it
must go."

Alderman Eliot, fif he would confer a lasting
benefit on the town, should direct his ingenuity
in devising some scheme of taking the sewage to
a point where it would, at least, be uninjunous,
rather than suggesting a project of which neither
he nor any one One can see an end, save the
benefit of a railway. The journal to which we
have already alluded, in speaking of our coast
towns—those localities which are frequented by
Metropolitan visitors, says :

" We could tell mad tales about some places—how the
sewage fever has often proved fatal to the visitor from
town, who thought that when he left London he left
behind him all the elements of the pestilence, and
that upon the sea-shore he should be safe with his loved
ones. How often in the height of 'the seam" is
some fashionable watering-pleas sickening with malaria,
while the local authorities are anxiously "barking"
all reference to the death-dealing fever. Let these
consider their moral responsibility as well as their pecu-
niary interests. In default of &steal utilisation—and
certainly science has yet much to accomplish in
this reenact—it is the duty of ell who have charge of
the public health to do their best for neutralising the
pestilential
power of sewage exhalations. London, in
the absence of utilisation, is intercepting he sewage and
carrying it as far away as possible. This seems to be all
that clan bs done at present, and may be justified ass
temporary expedient. Our coast towns must do the
same. They must intercept their sewage from Bowing
Into the sea under their very noses, and must disgorge
It into the water at such distance to the right or left of
their sea front and at such periods of the tide as shall
most effectually discolinte their contaminated shores.
The towns which take precedence in this enterprise will
stand a fei, chains for securing the largest share of the
radio patronage. In this respect • judicious outlay
will be a good investment. We have named no
localities, but • word to the wiles may be enough.
But the projected sewer of Mr. Eliot, even
should it be found practical to connect it with •
general system of drainage, would not remedy
the evil of which the opponenta to the embank-
ment scheme complain. The only remedy would
be in building • straight wall from the end of the
embankment to Mr. Welaford's timber pound,
as proposed by the committee. And the expense
of this ought to fall wholly on the company for
the benefit they will derive therefrom. Mr.
Eliot, by his recent motion, may try to get rid
of the responsibility of the company by • kind
'of side wind, but Mr. Alderman Ayling, and
Councillors Rowland,Thomas, and Hibbs deserve
the heartfelt gratitude of the inhabitants for the
stand they have made for the interest of this
ancient borough and fashionable watering place.
The extraordinary fire insurance case which
has occupied the Assize Court at Croydon for
five days was concluded on Saturday. The
evidence on both aides was finished on Friday
night, and on Saturday morning Mr. Lush
summed up the case for the fire insurance
company. Mr. Bovill then replied on the whole
case for Mr. Woolley, and it was evident from
the demonstrations in the court, which the Judge
found difficult to restrain, on which side the
feelings of the audience lay. Mr. Baron
Bramwell summed up, and the jury, without
hesitation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff,
amOunting, with interest,to £4,277 16s. sd. The
decision was received with great applause. It
was understood that this verdict would decide
the other insuranomej and that the amount of
them ,with interest, frould be paid to the plaintiff.
Mr. Lush, on the part of the defendants, 0011-
Dented to the application of Mr. Bovill that the
jury be paid one guinea • day, instead of the
usual fee of one gunman* for their attendance.

Ana LAN% —A gentleman writing to the Liver-
Ped, e•ya : The town of Dorchester, •
Pam 01 Vet antiquity, is a pleased, old-fashioned
pleas, standing in a fertile country, and approached
on almost every lids through lines of rads planted
with avenues of lofty tree& In the immediate
neighbourhood
of the town is an immense tract of
00ataining four thousand scree, named
Fordington Fiskr, belonging to the Prince of Wales,
as part of the ancient possessions of the duchy of
Cornwall The country between Dorchester and
the sea, at Portland, is as fertile as almost any in
England; it is laid out in very large fields, and is
covered with abundant crops of wheat, barley,
turnip', and clover. The very hill tope are covered
with luxuriant mops of wheat and barley, and some
of the Tut hest crops of wheat between London
and the Devonshire mast are grown in the fields
which overlook the Say of Portland.
ST. Pima's Livizta.—A Norfolk incumbent haa
addressed • letter to the Herald bearing upon the
subject of the purchase of the Chancellor's church
livino. It is, perhaps, not generally known, that
the hying of Si. Peter's, Dorchester, is one of these,
and, therefore, lewdly open to • negotintion of this
kind, if instituted with the oonsent of the present
ertnesned rector. .

,loam Misszown—Two meetings IMO held on
Wednesday at the Townball, in aid of the
funds of the Society for the Propagation of
the Gospel in Foreign parts. The weather
throughout the day was most inclement,
and thie doubtless prevented many persons from
attending, but the attendance was much more
numerous than might have been expected. The
proceedings lof the morning meeting under
the pruidenoy of C. B. Manor, ~ of Caine
House, and there was a tarp number o clergymen
from the town and neighbourhood present. —The
meeting was addressed by Earl Nelson, the Lord
Bishop of Tasmania' , and Charles Baikal, Eaq.,
late cavil commissioner with Lord Clyde's army in
India—the two former detailing the operations of
the society at home and abroad, and the success
which had attended its works almost everywhere
where mirmooaries had been sent, and the latter
giving some most interesting details of the late
mutiny in India, showing that the people of that vast
tract of country were now willing to receive the
tidings of salvation. From the report of the
secretary for the Dorchester district, the Rev. L
B. Watson, it appeared that the amount subscribed
from the parishes of St. Peter Holy Trinty, and
All Sainte, together with that collected at the
anniversary meetings, amounted to £62 14s, 10d.,
being a decrease from the previous year of £5
This sum, together with subscriptions and collec-
tion. from the parishes of Bradford Peverell,
Frampton, Monckton, Stoepleton, Tolpaddle, and
West Stafford, made a total of £lOl 3s. 7d.—The
evening meeting was very respectably attended, and
was a most interesting one. The chair was occupied
by G. T. Bullock, Esq., of From(' House, and the
claims and objects of the society most ably dwelt
upon by Earl Nelson, the Rey. Prebendary Smart
and C. Baikal", EN. The collections raised at both
meetings amounted to CI3 7t
CItICKIIT ATCII. —A cricket match was played
at Canford Perk, the seat of Sir Ivor Guest, on
Thursday, between the Dorchester and Canford
Park Cricket Clubs. Owing to the inclemency of
the weather in the morning play was not commenced
until a late hour, and the consequence was that the
Canford Park Club had not time to finish their
second innings, and the °Gated was therefore
decided by the first innings, which made the
Dorchester Club winners by 21 runs. Sir Ivor
Guest, in his usual hospitable manner, provided all
the necessaries required for the inner man. The

ANNUAL LICENEI3O MUTING. —The renewing of
the several names for the sale of spiritous liquors,
and hearing applications for the grouting of new
onm, took time at the Shirehall, on Saturday. The
magistrates 'cadent were:— Major Frampton
(chairman), Major Steward, K. Williams, H. C.
Goodden, G. T. Bullock, H. N. Middleton, R. H.
Swaffield, and W. Eliot.. &qrs. The whole of the
applications for the renewal of licenses were enter-
tained, no opposition being offered.
rue Vicroata LOWE INN, PORTLAND.—Mr.
Weston applied for • license on behalf of Mr. George
Lane, for this house. He stated that at the last
licensing mating the application was rejected, on
the ground that there was no necessity for the house
being licensed became the railway was not opened.
He was now able to state that the railway was now
more than half completed, and would be opened an
March next. The house was situated in aloes
proximity to the proposed railway station, and the
door of it would be within 50 yards of the station
getes. As the trains which arrived at Portland at
night would neormarily be late, there was great
neoemity for the house to be licensed for the con-
VONiIIICO of the public. If the Bench refused the
application it would be imponable for travellers to
he accommodated as Mr. Lane could wish or they
might desire. The necomary noncom having been
proved, Mr. Hill celled on Mr. Robert Stsonard,
the clerk of the Weymouth and Portland Railway
works, who said that the railway to Portland would
be opened for Maio in March next. The Victoria
Lodge would be about 20 yards from the railway
terminus, arid was situated 100 yards from the New
Hotel—The Bence intimated that they would hear
an the apyliosticass before giving their decision.
Tim Goys House, CHiseL. PORTLAND.—Mr.
Hill, on behalf a Mr. Joint Way, tbe landlord of
the above house, applied for a spirit license. He
said it was situated near the beech at Chisel, and
had been the resort of fishermen and pilots on the
look out for vessels for many years mat, and it was
also the constant resort of vim:Rees who came to the
island. The chief reason, however, why the
application was made was became the pilots, when
on the look out for ships, had to lay about the beech
in an weathers, there being no house near in which
they could he accommodated. If the house was
licensed the landlord would be able to keep it open
for their use, and it would prove beneficial to them
mid the public.
ItOTAL HOTIL,FORTUNreIi Wim,Poadr.
x•nio..—On behalf of Captain &riven, who has just
completed building the above hotel, at a cost of
.C 2,000 Mr. Hill applied for a license. The home
contained 23 rooms, and was the largest one in the
neighbourhood. lt was built expressly for an inn,
and had stabling end ousch-boases, and was well
adapted for a licensed home. Mr. Hill presented •
memorial signed by the rectorial the several parishes
in the island, by the naval and military officers, and
, by most of the respectable inhabitants in the rime.
, Tug Itmi.w.tx Tamils, Canon. PORTLAND.—
Mr- Hill applied for a license for this home on be-.
1 hell of Mr. Charles Bash. He based his application
on the ground that this hones was the nearest one to
proposed railway station. Mr. Bosh was an old
said rorProgod Mlmbitent of the place, and the hones
had always bees well conducted. The number of
esearaimusts to the island was Dow very grad, and
more SONNNAlodsties was required for their wants.
From cm to two thoosind people comet* Weymouth
by an eseursim Main, and there was net anillaiest
provieloa for them, and they were compelled to seek
soommodation at Pestisad, but at the preset time
there was oat seligiest So mese their amen&

The A LBULT RITREAHMIENT ROOMS, CASTLB-
TOWN, PORTLAND. —Mr. Hill applied that a license
might be granted for the sale of spirits to Mr.
Condeu, of the above refruhment rooms. Mr. Hill
urged a similar argument as in the former cue why
the house ought to have a spirit license, namely, the
inadequate accommodation for visitors to the island.
—Mr. Symonds opposed the application, and con-
tended that as there were three or four licensed
houses in the immediate vicinity of the Albert R.
freahment Rooms, there was no necessity for the
Bench to entertain the application.
THI EAGLE TAVZHN, PORTLAND.—Mr. Hill
applied for a spirit license for the Eagle Tavern,kept
by Mr. William Bullock. Mr. Hill dwelt on the
fact of his client having fought the nettles of his
country now endeavoured to earn an honest liveli-
hood by keeping a public.oonse, and was proceeding
to show reasons why the house ought to be lioensed,
when he was brought to a standstill by the Chairman
remarking that the application would not be enter-
tained, because the applicant had been fined.
ALBION HOTEL, 111JOH1cE, PORTLAND.—Mr.
Joseph Bird, the landlord of the Albion Hotel,
through his solicitor, Mr. Hill, applied for the
Bench to grant a spirit license to his house.—
The application was opposed by Mr. Symonds,
who contended that there RAS DO neoessity
for the house to be licensed, there being four or five
close by. This application had been before the
Bend five or six times, end had always been re-
fused. In most of the cum brought forward there
were no new facts brought to light which uould
entitle the Bench to grant the application, and they
were, in reality, only appeals to revert the decisions
of magistrates some years ago.—The Beach thca re-
tired and consulted, and upon their return the
Chairman intimated that it was their determination
to gnint licenses only to the Victoria Lodge and
Scriven's Royal Hotel, as they saw no necessity for
granting lionises in the other cases.
Tug ROYAL STANDARD, UPWRY.—MT. lull
appeared on behalf of Mr. John Townsend, for a
spirit license to be granted to his house.—Mr.
Symonds opposed, and in the (nurse of his cross-ex-
amination elicited from the applicant that there was
lees traffic on the Weymouth-road than formerly,
and that there was no very great demand for
spiritous liquors.—The Bench declined to entertain
the application.
Tics BRIDGE Tavgnx, EADIPOLZ.—Mr. Hill
also made a similar application on behalf of Mr.
Richard Stevens, the landlord of the above inn. He
hoped the Bench would grant this application, as
since the last time when aspirin license was sought
for, a number of houses had been built, and others
were in course of construction in the neighbourhood.
There were about 700 people in Radipole, and there
was no licensed house within a half mile. Mr. Hill
then presented a numerously-signed memorial in
favour of the application—Mr. Symonds : You have
involuntarily attempted to perpetrate a fraud upon
the Bench by submitting that petition to them.—Mr.
Hill : I cannot allow such an observation to go
forth, especially as I said it was the same as was
sent last year. How can you say I attempted to
perpetrate a fraud. Mr. Symonds : You did
not correct yourself until I told you.—Mr. Hill: I
think you ought to withdraw the word fraud; It
is most unjustifiable.—Mr. Symonds : You have
involuntarily done that which amounts to a fraud
upon the Bench.—The case was then gone into,
but the Bench said they could see no necessity lor
granting a license.
Tin Royal. GEORGE., CHARMINSTEIL Mr.
Symoads, on behalf of Mr. George Clark, applied for
a hums fer the sale of spirits, stating that the house
was situated on the road to the Fannon Asylum,and
there were only two licensed houses in the parish.—
The application was opposed by Mr. !Weston,
who said he knew it had been rejected three or four
times, and there was no necessity for the
house being lionised. People who bad glass houses
ought never to throw stones, therefore he thought
Mr. Symonds was rather injudicious in making such
a statement aa he had, that these applications were
only appeals to revert the decisions of previous
Benches.—The Bench said they saw no necessity for
granting another licensed house in Charminster, but
apart from this, had it been shown that such was the
case they should not have granted • license, more
especially as applicant kept a very irregular house.
THE WHITR HORSY, LITTON CHRIIRT, AND TicS
ALBERT, WYKIL EKG IS, the former kept by Mr.
Samuel Wood, and the latter by Mr. Edward
Edwards, were represented by Mr. Symonds, who
applied for spirit licenses. Both of the houses had,
however, come before the notice of the Bench for
offences against the Beer Act, and consequently the
applications were not entertained.

w EYM 0 UTH. —Tu Lento's LAST FARZWILL.
A great treat is in store for the music loving popu-
lation of the town on Friday evening, thanks to the
enterprise of Mr. Gubbina, who has succeeded in
engaging that magacian of the pianoforte, 31.
Tinders, who will give his farewell pianoforte
recital to the inhabitants of this town, on that even-
ing, at the Royal Hotel Assembly Rooms.
The following is an extract from The Queen on the
occasion of H. Thalberg giving a pianoforte recital
at the Hanover-square Rooms lately. Thalberg's
second pianoforte naatinei, at the Hanover-square
Rooms recently, was again the especial attraction
for the artiste, who assembled in great force, It
was quite curious to watch the intense interest with
which they followed the performances of the great
pianist; their enthusiasm rivalled that of the
Italian furore, and their excitement was no imputa-
tion on their taste and judgment, whilst it reflected
honour on their good feeling of art-brotherhood.
Amongst the familiar pieces played by Thalberg
were his well-known rendering of "Home, sweet
Home," and "Mi mance la voce." Herein the
effect produced on his auditory is not so much from
masterly execution as from the deep feeling he
infuses in both melodies; and so profound is the
emotion, that from dreaming eyes emanate the
signs of &optimise which ordinarly are exhibited from
the hands; the highest compliment is thus paid to
Thalberg, when the pathos of his playing can cause
so many hearers to weep, even those unused to the
melting mood. As an exhibition of marvellously
sustained power, the piece "La Trille," was the
most remarkable; it was most unmercifully encored,
despite of the great fatigue which must follow the
series of prolonged shakes from both bands in
succession, intermingled with florid purges of
unusual brilliancy. The "Don Giovanni" fantasia
was another wondrous display of dose combined
effects with which Thalberg transforms a tingle
instrument into seemingly alull orchestra.

MiseritsCs.---On Friday and Saturday
these talented troupe of Ethiopian wirentdera, con-
sisting of Messrs. Harland, Stanwood, Buckley and
Harland, in conjunction with Madame Wilbeforce,
gave antertsinmenta at the Assembly Rooms, Royal
Hotel. The audience on each occasion was large,
and appeared to be highly gratified and amused at
the choice selection of songs and wit introduced.

THZ RACI TOLLS. —These tolls, derived from the

town. On the driver opening the door of the cab
upon arriving at the Infiniary he found that the

Tux BACWW•TiII EMEMIKIIIIXT. —A meetinx,,,f,
the Town Council was held on Friday,
there were present the Mayor; Aldermen Eliot,
Ayling, Welsford, and J. A. Devenish ,• Councillors
W. Thomas, Maunders, Hibbs, Loos, W. Roberta,
Howard, and R. Thomas—The Mayor said that, in
accordance with a resolution passed at the last meet-
ing of the Council, the committee appointed to in-
quire into the nature of the railway works in the
Backwater, met on Monday, and took into consider-
ation the letters received from the Routh- Western
and Great Western Railway Companies, as well as
also those received from the Masan. Aird, with re-
sard to crossing the Backwater by an embankment
instead of a viaduct. They had also drawn up the
following report :

" The committee have to report that they met on
Monday last, and fully examined the plans, and con-
sidered the letters received from the Great Western
and South-Western Railway Companies and Mews.
gird, on the subject of the embankment in the Back-
water, and beg to recommend the following proposition:
—' That, in consideration of the Connell agreeing to the
proposed abandonment of part of the viaduct mooing
the Backwater, and permitting the embankment in lien
thereof, in compensation for such embankment and
viaduct, the Weymouth and Portland Railway Com-
pany shall make a solid wall from the end of the
present viaduct to Mr. Welsford's timber-pound, and
RI up, to the level of the Commercial-road, the inside.'
" Hilly Drviunati, Chairman,"
The Mayor, after reading the resolution, said the
committee thought it advisable to call as early a
meeting of the Council as possible, because the con-
tractors of the works had urged upon them the im-
portance of opining to some decision on the mubjeot.
If theCounial thought the report wassatisfactiiry, and
would meet with the wishes of the town, then they
could adopt it. —Mr. Maunders thought that before
the report was adopted it should receive the roost
serious consideration of the Council, as if it was
passed, he believed they would be throwing :wuaz
an opportunity of bssedtking the town, which would
never present dealt again. He, however, would not
propose an aniondinsnt ; but as sworatary to the rail-
way company, he was not in a position to state that
the company would carry out the report.—Mr.
Ayling said if the oompany could not do without an
006.Mlato, they must comply with the wishes
of the Corporation, so for at Mast_ as
believed
the
=Zproperty. He still believed that tilt
en t would be • great injury to the town.—
' Mr. Manaden said As thought the report was &aims

too much for the sant:actors to do, and more than
the Council would get done. They might wake up
to-morrow morning, if the report was adopted, and
Sod that they had lost a capital opportunity
for bevefitting the town, and if such was the PM
the Council mud take the responsibility upon them-
selves. If the report was adopted they must not
be surprised at what the consequences would be.—
Mr. Ayling could not believe that the contractors
would carry out the works in opposition to the
wishes of the Council, as they bad been told not to
do so until they had their consent.—Mr. Eliot
thought the report ought to be adopted, and then
the contractors could choose whether they would
carry out the suggestions contained in it. —Mr.
Hibbs mid the question was between the Council and
the railway companies, and not the contractors, and
it behoved the Council to make the most &dean.
taoous terms they could for the benefit of the town.
—Mr. Maunders quite agreed with there marks made
by Mr. Hibbs, but be thought they were asking the
railway companies to do too moth in building a
stone wall from Mr. Welaford'a pound to the embank-
ment, and more than would get carried out. The
distance required to be filled up was three-quarters
of • mile.—Mr. Ayling remarked that the contrac-
tors could fill hp the piece of land at half the cost
that the Council could.—The Mayor said it was a
question of pounds, shillings, and pence, for in CAM
the embankment was carried out the railway com-
panies would have to apply for another Act
of Parliament, but it would cause a great delay.—
Mr. Ayling believed the railway companies would
not gain anything by obtaining another Act of
Parliament. —The Mayor said, before he moved the
adoption of the report, he would read the following
lettere which bad just been put in his hands
Offices of the Weymouth and Portland Railway,
Weymouth, August 28, 1863.
"To the Mayor and Corporation of the Borooghof Wey-
mouth and Meloombe Regis.
" Gentlemen,—l beg to enclose a letter from Mews.
John Aird and Son, respecting the construction of an
embankment in the Backwater for your perusal, and
trust you will come to • final decision to-day, so that I
oan continue the work of an embankment or viaduct on
Monday morning nest, as after that day further delay
will be impossible.
"I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
(Signed) "110 w ST AllIABD."

"Belvidere Road, Lambeth. R. Aug. 17, 1863.
"Mr. R. Stanneed.—Dser itiv,—We have duly M.
calved your letter, dating On result of the interview
700 had with the Town Connell on Monday last, and
have considered the proposition that they requested
you to lay before no. It is, of course, quite out of the
question. We could never think for one minute of
agreeing to do the work. It would cost a very large
cam of money—much more than the construction of
the viaduct altogether. You will please inform them
of this our decision, and at the same time state that we
are quite prepared to endorse the offeryon made to carry
out the works, viz. to carry the culvert through the
bank into deep water, to 611 up the corner square with
the station road, and, if required, to build a wall at the
end of the bank—say 100 feet towarda the Bridge.
" This certainly is the utmost that we are pre-
pared to do; mom is impossible ; and we request you
therefore to state this to the Council respectfully, but
distinctly, and when doing so, beg of them to give this
unfortunate matter their immediate decieion, for the
delay is now more than serious, and will, if longer
persisted in, delay the opening of the line. Bee them
on this matter, and we hope to hear from you in course
at post as to what resolution they think it right to come
to. . .

"Yours, Lc,
(Signed) "JOHN Alan and Som."
Mr. Ayling said the report had not been officially
sent to the contractors, it had got to their knowledge
through Mr. Stannard.—ln reply to Mr. Ayling,
Mr. Meanders said if the report was adopted, one of
the opportunities which the Council would lose would
be the abolishing of one of the greatest minimum in
the town, arising from the present imperfect culvert,
whereas they now had an opportunity of having •
culvert made at no expense to the town.—Mr.Ayluig
was of opinion that the nuisance arose from other
source', and would never be remedied until the land
was filled up. The railway companies could fill up
the land at less than half the coat than the Council
could, and be considered that under the circum-
stances they ought to consent to the wishes of the
of the Council He believed the wish of the Council
was the wish of the town. The railway companies
had to pay for other properties they passed through,
and he diet not see why they should refuse to pay for
this.—Mr. Maunders was sorry for such a remark to
go forth to the public that the company had declined
to pay for the land; he believed they would pay
to the very farthing.—Mr. Deveniah thought the
word "refused" was uncalled for —Mr. Ayling said
he did not intend to say "refused," and he begged
to withdraw the statement.—Mr. Devenish : It is 111
most offensive term.—Mr. Howard said he, together
with many owners of property in the Backwater,
were of opinion that the embankment would be a
great nuisance unlearn the whole piece of land
was filled up. But if this was done would the Council
be justified in asking the railway companies to bear
the whole of the expense. He thought as • Council,
and wishing to deal flair with • public body, they ought
to bear part of it. They should ascertain what the
cut would be, and than see what portion of the ex-
pense would fall upon the company, but not over -tax
them. If the cantractora liked they need not touch
the tramway until the last day of the five yews,
and what then would be the position of the
Council if there was a railway to Portland, and
no tramway to the harbour.—Mr. Devenish did
not think the contractors would adopt such
• course, and believed they were not in • legal
position to do so. The cost of filling up the land '
would he about £5,000. Alter some farther oon-
vermilion as to whether the company would carry
out the suggestions of the Council, Mr. Devenish I
said he did not see how they could get a more de-
cided answer than the terms contained in the letter.
—Mr. Hibbs thought the company was a little tight
upon them, especially as they had not placed any
opposition in their way. He was of opinion that
the company would gain considerably by enclosing
the land, and that the report ought to be adopted.
—Mr. Eliot thought the best course the Council
could adopt would be by receiving the report. They
could then call upon the company to make the wall,
and inquire what portion they wished the Council to
pay towards it.—Mr. Ayling also expressed •
similar opinion.—Mr. Hibbs thought the question
rested between the comp?ny. and the Council and

Nanomt Soweto.— On Sunday last three sermons
were preached in Blandford thank, oft behalf of the
above schools—in the morning by the Bev. Robert Far-
quharson, who delivered an able and impreseive address
from the 29th chapter of Proverbs, 15th Ming in which
he first dwelt on the misery and salf-condenmation of
that mother, who, neglecting her duty to train up her
children in the fear of God, and the way of nprighteme,
in after years see them following the multitude *ado
evil, contracting habits of diadmiloa, and thus
• curse, instead of • blessing, both to their friends

• religion not cold and forbidding, but hal of leve; •
tender heart full of sympathy, bat ever shinty dwelling
on securing the eternal happiness of the obit& Hsieh a
parent, knowing her own inefficiency, would ameba*
be imploring Divine assistance. The prewar then
dwelt on three different ways in which a child
might be left to himself —morally, intellectually, ma
spiritually. Moral habits depend on moral training. emit
though conscience might at find check the commesioni
of crime, its power would lose its effect as sin was.
indulged in, therefore there was the greater nementy
of inculcating moral principles in the mind whilst the•
child was yet young. When a child was left to Reiff it
experienced also • loss intellectually. There were but.
few to whom the acquisition of knowledge was acceptable.
The mind of a child does not naturally like Instruction,.
or the restraints which that instruction requires. The
teaching of evil finds • readier entrance where good has •
never been received. Instruction may be imparted to
the child in school, but that instruction is more likely
to be beneficial if the child has been trained at home,
and the parent has taken an interest in his child's
education. The preacher then dwelt upon the spiritual
training which a pious parent would endeavour to give
her child, and said it woo snuck to be feared that many-
in the present day were, through neglect of their parents
while young, mud& to give • reason for the hope within
them. They were men as regarded worldly matters
but mere babes in religious life. Early training In re-
ligious truth was Deesseary if we wished to have a
religious and God-fearing people. Many of the duties.
he had alluded to, the very poor, however, were do
!erred from fulfilling, and therefore it was their duty,
as • Christian congregation, to midst by their matribia-
time the education of the children taught in the
National School, and there was two consideratioos why
they should do this the more readily and liberally ; first,
bemuse the report of the Inspector who had lately
visited the school was very favourable. He Mated that
the school was in excellent order and discipline, that the
children were well instructed, and every attention ;maid
to their education. This proved that those who had the
management of the school had done their work well. The
managers were desirous of making some neessearyl
repairs, and also wished to build • porch in frost
of the school, but to enable them to do so Maness&
funds were necessary, and he treated, theinftee..
their oontributions would be liberal. Tier saber
reason why they should gave liberally was br-
istle' God had abundantly blamed this country mar
had given us • bountiful harvest. In pentode to him
for his mercies we should do all we can *extend the'
blessings of education, and the diffusion of Christian
truth.—The afternoon sermon was preached by the.
Rev. C. J. Eliot, who took his text from 19th elhapter
Acts, 15 verse, and addressed some very peening an&
striking remarks to parents, children, and also to
men and young women. We wish our limits
allow us to notice some of the rev, gentleman's rensarks•
to the two latter clamed, but we must sonissi ourselves
with merely noticeing that it would be well far soelety.
generally if ministers were to follow his marapie, and weak
out boldly and plainly in the pulpit their sollessanalaol,
of theorying sin of the age—the social evil, as it sailed,
which though not seen in our country towns with the
same brazen face as in large cities, is mantheless, es
surely, though silently sapping the foundations of
which we as Christians and Englishmen have ever held
most aimed —the virtue and chastity of our beloved'
countrywomen. The evening sermon was also priedied
by the same gentleman the Rev. Mr. Monsflehl, of
Blandford St Mary, reading prayen. The text was
taken from 3rd chap. Daniel, 16, 17 and 18 vermin. After
alluding to the favourable report which the Goverment
Inspector gave of the school, the rev. gentlanin said
thM Government gave more for its support than was
contributed by the inhabitants. Under the new sods
this leas less than last year, but they had redwood the
number of pupil teachers, and raised the weekly Pig-
ment& of the obildren. He was sorry to my that the

would give more libersUy and cheerfully, The
