upon such a contest, and although the elergy
might resist at Cheater the same as at Oxford,
the nature of the constituency is such as to indicate
that he would most probably come in. Mr.
Bernal Osborne receives a very pretty castigation
from the Times, not only for resigning himself at
the fag end of the session, but for being the
cause of resignation in another. We wait the
response of this noted Falstaff of Resignations
with some hope of amusement. According to
the Times, Mr. Osborne finding that Liskeard
was not likely to plight him its troth again, bet
panted after Sir Arthur Buller, the member for
Devonport, accepted the Chiltern Hundreds by
way of punishing both and putting at one and the
same time Liskeard, Devonport, and Sir
Arthur to the trouble of electing aud being
elected within three weeks of again
going through the same ceremony—Mr.
Berkeley's annual ballot motion on Friday
evening was signalised by the re-appearance on
the scene of his steadfast opponent Lord Pal-
merston, who, evidently expected to find a little
amusement in the discussion—but really he created
it all himself—and was fresh and juvenile
as ever. With regard to our own im-
mediate election intelligence, Weymouth is
after all marked out for a contest. The
addresses of the two new candidates will
immediately appear ; and the whisper
deepens that Dorset, like almost every other
county in the kingdom, (where the trial
has not been actually made, and abandoned
as in East Somerset), will have a contest
—and Milton Abbey, a centre of immense
wealth and no small popularity, has the
reputation of being about to furnish Mr. Port-
man with his desired colleague. It would be
observed that the Lieutenancy lists have just re-
ceived an accession of two names from this Baro-
nial family. Occasionally a mere straw tossed
up will tell how the wind sits. In such times
people will watch and note the signs of the
times ; and who can blame our rural wiseacres for
wondering whether the blushing honours, planted
so thickly upon these young county gentlemen, do
not indicate in one of them a Government can-
didate? Of Mr. C. Hambro we have the plea-
sure of saying that we do not know a better
trained man of business, one who takes a more
rational and Intelligent interest in social amelio-
ration and public improvement ; we are best
acquainted with his scientific efforts to improve
the new and promising project of pisciculture,
and as regards that peculiar purpose we believe
with him that there is a future of food-culture
opening to our streams and rivers, which must
be a perfect godsend under the increasing prices
of meat to the necessities of the population. At
Salisbury, what with city and county, " there be
seven Richmonds in the field." Mr. Marsh has
however addressed his constituents and gone
away—inexorable necessity compelling him to
take at this of all moments the least auspicious
for a parliamentary candidate—an Australian
voyage. The hon. gentleman leaves, however,
with the full confidence of fair treatment behind
his back, and it will be a curioes problem to solve
—not a little embarassing to Mr. Chapman, his
' direct opponent, and even to Mr. Hamilton, the
other Liberal candidate, who offers himself in the
room of General Buckley—what degree of
restraint, if any, is or oan be imposed by election
courtesy (if such a thing there be) in this card-
play of terce in which there is one hand to be
played as dummy.
lll—Tire CHURCH received on Friday evening
what the Marquis of Westmeath intended for a
severe rebuke. Singling out the ceremonial of
some very peculiar Metropolitan churches, and
adding to them the Rev. J. Going's pastoral on
Confession and even the vagaries of Brother
' Ignatius whom the noble Marquis very properly
termed "a Mountebank," both Lord Westmeath
and Lord Ebury spoke at great length of entreaty
to the bench of Bishops as if such things and such
"performers" represented the Church of England.
We should be sorry to think that more than ono
or two churches, out of ten thousand in the
English Communion, indulged in the extrava-
gances depicted by the noble Marquis. Yet
Lord Ebury put the matter, even after hearing
the Bishop of London's explanation of the
difficulty of dealing with it, quite generically as
if they saw in a Church, whose confessors and
martyrs suffered to establish it in the utmost
purity of doctrine and simplicity of ritual,
the following doctrines taught and practices
followed :—Transubstantiation, in all but the
name; auricular confession, penance, priestly
absolution, prayers for the dead, ornamental
vestments, emblematic banners, and pro-
cessions, crucifixes, incense, candles lighted
in broad daylight, and an exaggerated
amount of music in the service. This
is exceedingly unfair of the would-be expur-
gator of the Prayer Book, and he who can
take such an exaggerated view of the practices
of our Church, as to attribute the eccentricities
of a few to the whole broad expanse of her
services and ministrations, cannot be accepted as
a safe, impartial, and unprejudiced emendator of
her ritual. Nor did the Bishop of London much
mend the matter by throwing over the blame
upon the rubric of Edward VI. All the while, the
most astounding part of this discussion was its
utter irregularity. It turned out to have been
entirely out of order, and when Lords Houghton
and Shaftesbury wished to speak upon the
subject, they could by no means be heard, be-
cause, as Lord Redesdale said, their Lordships
were carrying on a discussion without there
being any question regularly before the Douse.
And this is the informal mode in which
the Church of England is destined to be
slandered in high places ! Surely the Earl of
Shaftesbury must know of tome English
clergymen who do not hold to transubstan-
tiation, auricular confession, penance, and so
forth, and it would only have been decent to
have allowed him or some one else to have said
so. The noble marquis,who introduced the sub-
ject in a studied speech, well charged with all
that could startle his auditors or tell against the
Church, was so well satisfied of his irregular
course of procedure, that he intimated to the
house that it had rather been his intention to have
exercised his privilege as a peer, and to have de-
mended an audience of her Majesty upon the
matter than to bring it before their Lordships'
House. We do not dream of defending Popish
practices in the Church. All we say is, let them
be dealt with as the exception not as the rule,
and, in common honesty, let the Church of Eng-
land be assaulted by other weapons than imputa-
tions, which applied to her as a whole, are
notoriously false.

CORN MARKET, Saturday, June 17.—The supply
of wheat again small, trade not active, but prices
rather better in favour of sellers. Barley in little
request at.late prices for grinding. Oats in rather
more demand at 6d. per quarter advance. The
growing crops is reported as being stunted in
growth.

Peverell, was charged with atismlting John FTann, a
porter at the South- Western Station, on the 14th
inst. Complainant was etnplayed in the goods dep,rt-
meat, and defendant came to fetch away some barley.
In the course of business, the track containing Mr.
Fooka's barley bad been moved once the previous day ;
defendant complained of this, and demanded that com-
plainant should at or:pa push it into a convenient place
for him. Hann said he would do it presently, when
defendant caught hold of him by the neck, and
endeavoured to force compliance. Some men who were
present pushed defendant off the stage. Defendant
then abused Hann, and subsequently struck him twice
on the mouth, knocking him down. Defendant in
answer to the charge, said he had had come drink, or
he should not have assaulted the porter. Complainant
did not wish to press the ease. It was stated that the
summons was taken out at the request of the South-
Western Railway Company. The Mayor said this was a
most unjustifiable aaault, and that the plea of drunken-
ness was only an aggravation of the offence. As this
appeared to be his first offence he would be fined 2s. eal.,
and the costs, 103., and the magistrates hoped that
this would induce him to govern his temper for the
future, and to refrain from the abominable habit of
drinking, which leads to all kinds of wickedness.

MR. MOULR'S EARTH CLOSET. —The subject of
house-sewage, says the Agricultural Gazette, is of
great importance to oottagers and householders in
the country, where a sufficient eupply of fertilising
matter for the growth of greedy vegetables is a real
difficulty, and one which is thus successfully over-
come. We have seen the utmost fertility secured
for a considerable area of garden ground by this
alone, where some little vigilance has been exer-
cised and interest taken by the master of
the house in the subject; and we strongly re-
commend the use, accordingly, of the invention
which has been patented by Mr. Moule, and
is manufactured by Messrs. White and Co., of
29, Bedford-street, Strand, W.C. It is quite
true, that the deodorising material (dry surface
earth or clay, or subsoil), excellent for the purpose,
is at the same time the cheapest, and within the
reach of all classes ; and that a very considerable
advantage, not only in large establishments but in
mere cottages, may be thus obtained by the manu-
facture, annually, of a large quantity of valuable
manare. It is not in the least probable that earth
will ever be substituted for water in dealing with
the refuse of whole street or towns, put wherever
there is a detached house, surrounded by a garden,
it is plain that the plan of Mr. Moule ii at once
effective, eoonomical, and remunerative.

CRIMINAL PROCRDCTRIL—On the lit of next month
a provision ins new Act of Porliament, to amend the
law of evidence in criminal cases, will take effect, re-
specting the summing up of evidence in cases of felony
and misdeameanour. The provision is in the following
terms : " If any prisoner or prisoners, defendant or
defendants, shall be defended by counsel, but not
otherwise, it shall be the duty of the presiding judge,
at the close of the case for the prosecution, to ask the
counsel for each prisoner or defendant, so defended
by counsel, whether he, or they attend to adduce
evidence, and in the event of none of them there-
upon announcing his intention to adduce evidence,
the counsel for the prosecution shall be allowed to
address the jury a second time in support of his
case, for the purpose of summing up the evidence
against such prisoner or prisoners, defendant or
defendants."

ALTERATION OF THE DAY OF THE VOLUNTEER
Escestratitsx.—At the inspection of the Sherborne
volunteers lad week, Adjutant Barrett said he was
instructed by Colonel /damsel to tell them that the
camp committee had found it necessary to postpone
going into camp on the day previously determined
upon. As the Assizes at Dorchester were fixed for
July 22, and many of the men and officers of the
3rd and other corps would be unable to leave Dor-
chester at that time, the battalion would enter
camp on the 25th July, (Tuesday,) and return on the
following Saturday. That arrangement would
prevent their having a Sunday there as was wished;
but it was generally thought the volunteers would
have enough leisure time without it. There would
be 165 tents this year, and he thought instead of
eight there would be six in a tent, which would be
much more comfortable.

DIVTSIONEL Prrry SESSIONS, June 17. Before
H. Williams and E. Saunders, Esqra. George
Elms, a labourer, charged by P. C. Roper with
sleeping in a stable belonging to Mr. Hodder, of
Portland, was sentenced to a month's hard labour.—
Alfred Bile, and a man named Holloway, was
charged with stealing wood, at Dewlish, the pro-
perty of Sir J. Michel. P. S. Hill saw the defen•
dents cutting the wood. It corresponded with the
piece left on the ground.—They were fined 10a.
each and costa.—James and Mary Barnes, tramps,
for vagrancy at Broadmayne, on Friday, were
sentenced to seven days' imprisonment each.
Jonn Shaw, a tramp, was charged with stealing
a pair of corduroy trousers, and some dominoes,
the property of Henry Hutchings, ostler at the
Lion Hotel, Evershot It appeared that the
prisoner slept at the house one night, and in the
morning carried away with him a pair of trousers
and A few dominoes. The trousers he took to a tailor
to make larger for him, and the dominoes were found
on him. Prisoner said that he had come from York-
shire, and had had a paralytic stroke, and that he
never stole the trousers. The magistrates convicted
the prisoner, and sentenced him to six weeks' hard
labour.

SUDDEN DEATH. —IAA Thursday night a man
named Charles Seal, who for a long time has held
the office of drummer in the band of the 3rd D.R.V.,
died very suddenly. For some time past he had
been in indifferent health, but he was an enthusiastic
volunteer, and on Thursday evening he went out
with the band for practice at the barracks, appearing
to be in the enjoyment of a fair measure of health
and strength. As the band WM returning to the
town, when at the upper end of High East-street,
drummer Seal complained to the bandmaster that
he felt ill. Mr. Wellspring immediately released
him from his duty, and desired him to go home.
He walked away with • relative, and as he left be
bade his comrades "good big," saying that be should
never come out with the band again. His sad appre.
hension was true. A few minutes after arriving
at his house in Grove•buildings, he died. Mr. Good,
surgeon, was called in, but his skill was then of no
avail. It will be remembered that a short time ago,
while out with the band, at an inspection by Captain
and Adjutiuit Barrett, Seal ruptured a blood vessel.
He leaves two children and a wife, who is near her
confinement, to mourn his untimely death. Drummer
Seal was greatly respected by the corps, and, indeed,
by every one who knew him. Hearty sympathy is
manifested by all with his unfortunate widow, and a
subscription has been commenced as an expression of
regard for the late drummer of the oorps, and to afford
his widow that assistance which she at this period
especially requires. The funeral of the deceased
drummer took place at the cemetery on Monday after-
noon. He was followed to the grave by the majority
of the 3rd D.V.R., under the command of Captain
Coombs and Ensign Hodges, and about fifty Foresters,
wearing the regalia of the Order. The firing party
beaded the mournful procession, followed by the band
of the corps playing on the route the Dead March in
Saul. The Rev. J. Fisher, ohaplain of t'e corps,
officiated. At the conclusion of the service, the firing
party advanced and paid the enstomary military honours
to their comrade—firing three volleys over the grave.
The company then returned to Dorchester.

EARL SiIArMSBORT AND 1113 LATE STRwARD.—Io
the Court of Queen's Bench, Westminster (sittings in
banco, before the Lord Chief Juitioe and Mr. Justice
Shee), on Thursday, the case of The Queen v.
Waters again came before their lordships, with
reference to the application to remove, into the
Central Criminal Court, the indictment on the prose-
cution of the Earl of Shaftesbury against his late
steward in Dorsetshire. The rule had been obtained
on an affidavit on the part of the accused—who has
been held to bail for £s,ooo—that he WIN innocent,
and that the Earl, his late employer, had great
influence as a landowner down in Dorsetshire,
where, if the case were not removed, it would be
tried. The affidavit of the accused also endeavoured
to show that the prosecution was instituted by the
Earl in consequence of a suit in Chancery by his
steward against him. The Earl, however, filed
an affidavit in answer, stating that, though
, it was true the prosecution was after the suit,
the accused had previously been dismissed, and
threatened with a prosecution if he did not explain
the deficiencies in his accounts, and that it was after
this the suit in Chancery was instituted, for which,
he stated, there was no foundation. The Earl
further stated that the accounts had been submitted
to accountants of eminence, who discovered the
deficiencies to be the amount of many thousands
of pounds; and that counsel had advised that the
accused ought to be proceeded against criminally.
That the charges were of stealing or embezzling
about £B,OOO, and that counsel had advised that the
prosecution must be instituted in Dorsetehire, but
that the case had been carefully taken to Sherborne,
a place in the county at the utmost possible distance
from that part of the county in which the Earl had
any property or tenantry. Further, the Earl stated
that he was quite indifferent where the case
was tried, and if the Court thought it better
that it should be in London he was quite
willing that it should be so, though he believed
that it would increase the expense. The affidavit of
the Earl concluded thus :—" That as regards the
statement that the accused cannot have a fair and
impartial trial in Dorsetahire, I do not believe that
, there is any ground for such an impression ; but, as
I am anxious that he should have a fair trial, if that
impression exists on his mind, I should prefer that
the trial should take place in London." Upon this
I Mr. Kerslake, QC., who with Mr. H. T. Cole
appeared on the part of the Earl, stated that his lord-
ship adhered to this view of the case, and was quite
content to leave it in the hands of the Court —Mr.
Coleridge, Q C., and Mr. Bare were for the appli-
cant, (the accused) in support of the applica-
tion to remove the case to London.—The Lord
Chief Justice said, as there was no resistance
offered to the application, it was unnecessary to
say more than that it would be more satis-
factory, considering the high position and influence
of the Earl in Dorsetshire, that the case should be
removed. He was perfectly persuaded that this in-
finance and position would have any effect in Pre- I
venting a fair determination of the case upon the
merits, either by the grand jury in finding the
indictment, or by the petty jury in trying it. Still,
it would be more satisfactory if tne case were tried
in London, and, as the application was not opposed,
the rule might be absolute to bring it up to the
Central Criminal Court. The other learned judges
concurred. Rule absolute accordingly.

Saturday, at Mr. Blenkiron's Middle Park sale, the colt

good deal of his relative, Young Monarque, who ran at
Ascot last week."

CERNR ABBAS.
PUTT SESSIONS. June 14.—A. carpenter, named
James Durant, of Buckland Newton, was brought up
charged with stealing a £5 bank note, belonging to Mr.
George Curtis. On the 6th inst. the parties with others
were at the New Inn, where a row took place, and a
challenge to fight was given. Prosecutor put a sovereign
on the table and also a purse containing the bank note
in question. Prisoner took up the same, and subse-
quently returned the purse to prosecutor. On arriving
home, Mr. Curtis missed the note, and Superintendent
Brown traced it to prisoner, who said he picked it up
in the room after prosecutor had gone away. Re was
committed for trial at the semitone.— Reuben Gaßon,
for unlawfully leaving the service of Mr. W. Symes.
Puddletrenthide, was sentenced to 14days' hard labour.

WEST LULWORTH.
MELANCHOLY Occuartzsten—On Thursday evening
Mr. Edward Fawconer Randall, yeoman, son of Mr. W.
Randall, wan accidentally drowned. An inquest was
held before Mr. R. Look, on Friday. when it appeared
from the evidence of the Rev. W. Gildea, that the un-
fortunate gentleman, who was • good swimmer, went
to bathe in the Cove about eight o'clock. After he
had been in the water about five minutes, Mr. Giidea
, observed him floating on his back, and as he continued
in that position a long time, the rev. gentleman noticed
him more narrowly, and found that his head wee hang-
ing down in the water. Upon this Mr. Gildea called
for a boat, and went out to the deceased and brought in
his body. The remedies recommended by the Admiralty
in ease of drowning were resorted to, but without effect.
From the appearance of the body it was thought that
the unfortunate gentleman had been seised with • fit,
and was drowned before auistance reached him. The
wife was on the Look-out at the time of the sad
occurrence. The jury returned • verdict of " Acci-
dentally drowned while bathing." The deceased was
generally respected, and his melancholy end is deeply
regretted by all who knew him.

LIILWORTfI.
THZ CA/ff.—Active preparations are now in progrees
for the forthcoming encampment at Lulworth Cove,
which will be on the estate of Mr. Weld on • farm
occupied by Mr. T. Randall—in the mune place, in fact,
as last year. Colonel Mensal, Adjutant Barrett, and
Captain Coombe inspected the site on Friday, and made
the necessary arrangements. Mr. Woolston, of Dor-
chester, is to provide the officers' mess, and Sergeant
Drew, of Wareham, to cater for the men, about 800 in
number. A teat to secummodate this large number at
dinner, tea, and breakfast will be provided by Mr. Ball,
of Blandford. The Weymouth Dramatic Society will
give a theatrical perfOresence, and no doubt the othar
corpit will do their share of the amusements as well as
of the duties of the camp. The railway company and
the Weymouth steamboat pmprietors will again do
their utmost to accommodate visitors. The Volanteers
themselves are smartly at drill in all parts of the
county.

Barrett. Mr. Matineell occupied the chair; supported
by Mr. Flower, Mr. Ja kmn, Mr. J. Damon, Mr.
Kerley, and other friends. The usual loyal and patriotic
toasts were given and heartily responded to. The toast
of the Bishop and Cl, rgy was proposed by Mr. Lewis.
who thanked Mr. Maunsell for Liaexcellent disoourse
at Church, and for presiding. Mr. Maunsell expresed
himself as very pleased to help his friend, Mr. Tnprell,
and in paying a visit to the people of Stourpaine. T. a
"Health of the Honorary Members" was responded to
by Mr. Flower, of France Farm, who, in:the course of
a few excellent remarks, 'bowel the value of such
institutions as benefit societies in encouraging a spirit
of independence. Those who did not belong to such
societies had no other alternative in time of sickness
but parish relief, which, to young men especially, was
degrading. He also advised, as on a former occasion,
that the anniversary festival should be held:earlier so
that it might not interfere with the hey•making season,
and suggested the last Tuesday in May. The Chairmam
then proposed "Success to the Stourpaine Friendly and
Benefit Society?" observing that according to the state-
ment he held in his hand, their total expenditure last
year was £l3 Bs. 5d., of which 25 ws expended in.
festival expenses. He advised them in future to spend
lees for their festival and give more in sickness. After-
some remarks on the evil of clubs dividing their funds at
stated times, the Chairman pointed out the great baring
in the shape of poor.rates such benefit societies were to
the country, and concluded by expressing a hope that.
the " Union Chargeability Bill" might become law, and
that the abominable "Law of Settlement" might be
abolished. Mr. Foot, clerk to the club, responded to
the toast, and proposed the "Health of the Chairman,"
to which that gentleman replied in his usual happy
style. Other toasts followed—including "The Frees,"
"The Educators of the Country," coupled with the
name of Mr. Jackson, and also the " Health of Sir
John D'Oyly, Bart." The company soon after broke
up, and proceeded in procession to the village of
Durwetton, and on their return, participated in We
usual amusements of such festive occasions, spending a
very happy afternoon.

in the practice when he last attended. The band, under.
the indefatigable Mr. Wright, was present, andgratillect
the numerous visitors to the harbour by their per—

ATTEMPTED SELF-DsereuerlOrr.—The good folks of
Allington were not a little surprised on Wednesday
afternoon to learn that Mrs. Elizabeth Payne, a nice.
looking young woman, who was married last Christmas
and whose husband has lately been absent at Bea, had
attempted to oommit suicide. It seems that some of
the neighbours had been retailing scandal in regard to
the poor woman, which, with the knowledge that her
husband was homeward-bound, made her very des-
pondent and low-spirited. She had also lately been
unwell, and was "light-headed" on the previous Tuesday.
She resides in the same house as Mrs. Mounted], her
sister-in-law, and about ten minutes to two on Wednes-
day afternoon she went upstairs without saying anything.
About five minutes afterwards Mrs. Hommel' had
occasion to go into her bed-room for a ball of cotton,
when she heard a moaning noise, and want half-
way up the garret stairs, sad then saw Mrs. Payne
hanging by the neck, from a thin cord,doubled, fastened
to the beam by • nail. She was moving. Mrs.
Hounsell called Charles Richards, who immediately
came and cut her down. At that time Mrs. Payne wee
hanging motionless. Vinegar and water was applied to
her head, and in about five minutes consciousness was
restored.- The same evening she was apprehended by
the police, and on Thursday morning was brought up
before the Mayor, when the above facts were deposed.
to. Prisoner seemed much to regret her rash act, and
cried bitterly. She expressed her sorrow for what she
had done, but offered no explanation of the cause of it.
She woe remanded till Monday when she was
again placed at the bar before the Mayor and J.
Williams, Esq. The following additional evidence
was adduced :—Mr. F. Scott, surgeon, said,
I saw the prisoner on Thursday evening at the praise
station. I examined her to asoertain the state a her
mind. I believe her to be perfectly sane, and in her
right mind. I have attended prisoner before—ebout
three or four months ago. She was ill for about 10
days or • fortnight. I have never thought there was
anything the matter with her mind. To the beet of my
knowledge she has never suffered from severe headaches.
I cannot account for her present conduct, only lowness
of spirits. Any one in good health and at tine same.
time very low in spirita, must, I should think, be in-
clined to insanity. Ido not think such is the ,ase with.
the prisoner. P.C. Paulley, spoke to receiving the.
cord with which the attempt was made from.
Charles Richards. and to apprehending prisoner at the
house of Mr. Abbott. When he charged her with the,
attempt to take her own life she made no answer.—Tbe
nasal caution having been reed to the prisoner, she-
replied that she had nothing to may, but was very sorry
for what had occurred. —The Mayor said it was the
most painful case ever he had had to adjudicate upon.
}loth himself and his brother magistmte thong h t the crime.
was so 000ly done that they could not overlook it, and
they must commit her for trial. He (the Mayor) hoped
at first that it would have been proved by the medical
officer to be a case of temporary insanity, but such, he
wars sorry to say, was not the case. He hoped the
prisoner would always remember the little iseideal that.
had saved her from the grave —the fetching of • ball of
ootton by one of the witnesses. Re would now commit
her for trial at the next Quarter Tessitcris, aid he hoped
that when she returned she would look upon her late
candeet with horror, and it might be that this occur.
renoe would have • good effect upon her conduct for
life. The prisoner, who appeared to feel her situation
most mutely, was then removed. She was much
pitied by all in court.
