AOCIDICBT TO A BOT —On the 12th June a boy named
Charles Trash was injured by breaking the main bone
of his left arm vedle going to work in the morning.
Two men brought the boy home, and a surgeon was
sent for to attend the lad, bat the surgeon did not
attend to set the arm, as he had not had his breakfast,
and two men carried the lad up to the surgery where, we
are glad to say, the arm was at once set, and we believe
the lad is going on favourably.

lorth-east, and making for the land. At 8 o'clock,
when three miles west of the Eddystone, they tacked off
to the southward, under topsails topgallant sails, and
malt. The Edgar was a mile ahead leading, the
Achilles was fourth, and one of the leaser ships was in

',AWARD OP MEIUT OR BOARD PRI Sr. GlCORcal.
An it is our duty always to chronicle "passing events,"
we feel great pleasure in speaking well of those who
deserve to be spoken well of without flattery, and we
have been credibly informed that Mr. Robert Horswell,
Sick Berth Steward on board H.M.S. St George. has
received a splendid gold ring, set with a precious stone
as a present from those who have been sick under
care. The kindness shown by Steward Sortmell to those
under his care has called forth that good feeling which
delights to honour those who deserve it. The great at-
tention bestowed on the sink men will never be forgotten
by them, and we are sure that the recipient will look at
the present he has received with joy to know that he
has done his duty, and that it is appreciated in that
kind manner.

IT is probable that the command of the French fleet
which is to meet the English fleet at Plymouth on the
17th that., will be entrusted either to Admiral Dupuis
or to Admiral Poiteau. The former officer commanded

the Napoleon during the operations in the Black Sea,
and at the time of the Italian war was appointed to the
command of the gun-boats on Lake Guards. Admiral
Poiteen, C.R, commanded a despatch vessel in the
Black Sea, called the Caton, and served on shore with
the French naval brigade before Sebastopol, for which
be rewired the Order of Commander of the Bath.
Rear-Admiral Sir Sidney Dames, K.C.8., is therefore
personally acquainted with both ef the French Admirals.
lii. said that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales
will be the guest of Admiral Sir Sidney Dams during
the visit of the French fleet.

Therm.= RIGHT TO SHOOT RABBITS. Not • few
unfortunate disputes arise from a want of knowledge as
to the rights of the various occupants of land in •
parish. A ease in point has just occurred here, though
we are glad to learn that it will probably be settled
amicably. Mr. Alfred Cbiloott, miller, was summoned
before H. Williams and B. Williams, Bunn, at Dor-
cheater, last Saturday, for poaching OD Grirnatone Down,
the informatioe being laid by Henry Ttevett, coachman
to Mrs. Pattison, of Wrackleford House, under whom
the defendant occupies. Mr. Symonds appeared for the
prosecution, and Kr. Weston for the defence. It seems
that a number of the agriculturists in the neighbour-
hood believe that they are entitled to shoot over the
Down. Mr. Symonds avers that they are not, ard they
are destroui of the question being tried. Mr. Chiloott,
on Saturday, however, to we Mr. Symonde's phrase;
seemed rather unwilling to allow them "to pull about
the hot chestnute with his angers," and offered to under-
take not to shoot there again unless others were allowed
to do so. Mr. Symonds did not care to swept • con-
ditional promise, and, at the suggestion of the bench,
the DUO was adjourned by eons's., ter • fortnight.

POACHING. Despite fines and Imprisonment the
practice of poaching still obtains to a large extent in
our villages. On Saturday last, Daniel Legg was aim-
mooed before H. Williams, Esq., and K Williams,
Fee., at Dorchester, for trespassing in search of conies
on June 19. Edward Gale, keeper for Mr. Sheridan,
said that shoat 8 p.m. on that day he was on the turn-
pike road in Frampton parish when he heard the report
