by those visiting this place for businem purposes,
and the injurious influence of the want on the general
trade of the town War been too palpably demonstrated
to the tradesmen, to allow us to suppose for one
moment that there will wow any pecuniary or other
difficulty in effectually providing a building fitted
to afford every convenience to the buyers and sellers
of corn. Should the planned alteration' be married
into effect, and a handsome room be provided
capable of holding SOO or 1,000 persons, We tnis6
the corporation, actuated by a wise and enterprising
spirit, will issue a scale of moderate charges for.
letting the room, so that persons desirous of
occupying it for any public purpose, may not only.
readily know the price they will have to pay for its
use, but find some inducement to rent it from the
moderation characterizing the charges made.
FRIENDLY SOCIETY.— The 24th anniverrary of
this society will be celebrated on Friday, the 18th.
inst. The Hon. and Rev. S. G. Osboine will pre-
side, and we understand a goodly mister is antici-
pated. The Rev. W. Radolyffe, rector of
Rushton, has kindly consented to preach the
sermon.
BURIAL BOARD.—A vestry meeting MIS held att
the Townhall on Thursday last for the purpose of
receiving the report of the committee appointed for •
revieinglhe Table of Burial Fees, as numerous
oom-
plaintsha'O horn time to time been made of the.
heavy amount of the charges. A considerable dis-
cussion took place, and some of the free were con.
siderably reduced.
Parry SESSIONS, Present : W. P.

The Guardians of the Bland/god Virten, appellants.
and the Overseers of Blandford, respendeslie
This was an appeal against the poor-vailr ne•sannent
on the new Union-house at Blimdford, Wiser known in
this town as the "Guardians' Folly." Mr, Maim
attended in support of the rate, and Mr. Atkisson aggro-
@anted the Baud of Guardians. It appearsthee Mess
overseers in making the assessment took into considers.
Con the enormous amount expended by the Guardians..
in building the howls (about 01,000), and thought that
If they put the gross estimated rental at leas than 4 per
amt, on the outlay and took off one third for repairs,
he., they would be pretty near the mark. They as-
oordingly put the gross estimsee at £4OO and the rate-
able value at 086 13s. 4d. The magistrates, however.
after snaking various calculations of the asiseumente of
23 other union houses, decided on putting the rateable
value at £92. The decision appeared to 0•1110 very greet
surprise as that amount is leas than 1 per oent. on the
cost of emotion, We understand the overseers are
resolved on
_Aofppealing to the quitter Sessions. There
are under 7 Mantes for this new paleoe, which is
stated to be cider large enough for • poptiletion three
times the number of that oomprised in the Blandford
Union.
John Burden was summosed by Mr. John Rouse, of
Anderson, for wilful damage to trees. Fined es., and.
emu.
George Applin and Thomas Sudden, of Blandford,
