IWERNE MINSTER.
THZ LEST LECTURES in the school•room HI this
parish were concluded on Thursday evening. the
6th, by a disoouree on the character of "Judas
Iscariot," by the vicar. These lectures have now,
throegh the saniseume of neighbouring clergymen,
bean mistimed for three years; and, judging from
the full and attentive assemblage each evening, seem
to be fully appreciated. The subjects for the peat
two years have been characters taken from the Old
Testament History. This year they have been
taken from the New Testament The course was
inaugurated by an eloquent and impressive address

CANADA.
THUM out of the four Ministers selected to proceed
to England, to *lnfer with the Rome Government es
the crisis that haa arisen in Canadian affairs, declined,
on variou grounds, to accept the mission. Only Yr. ,
Cartier, Attoroey-General East (and in the Preside
Catadian interest), consented. A week or two muse
elapse before further arrangements can be made.
Parliament having been prematurely prorogued Ise
allow of delegates proceeding lo Europe renders
position of the Administration the more emberrasides
THS ST. ALBAN'S RAIDERB. Justice Ercilth, et
Montreal, says the New York Times, has decided time
the accused were Confederate soldiers, and that as gosh
they did not come within the extradition treaty. The
act of the Canadian executive in following up this
extraordinary judgment, by re-arresting the burglars on
the double charge of murder and a violation of the
municipal laws of the colony, shoes a prudent regard te
what the situation demand.. The peopled the United
States will only believe that the Government of the
province means to act in good faith in this matter when
the order for the extradition of these criminals is slimed
by Lord Monck.

NEW ZEALAND.
Ts NOV SUPSRISTITION.—The letters and papeni
from New Zealand by the last mail continue to refer to
the new superstition which has broken out among the
Maories as a powerful element in the prolongation of
the war. A correspondent of the Aforstiag Port at
Auckland gives the following account of It:—" It is •
sort of revival of ancient heathenism, with • sliest
admixture of Christianity. It has originated with the
to/tangos, or native priest., and has been favoured by
the chiefs for political purposes. The two words poi
martri mean literally wait a little, and point slgnia-
cantly to coming events, which are now daily expestest.
They have become the usual form of salutation among
the disaffected—the shibboleth of the insurgent.. The
priests of the new faith pretended to have been favoured
with fresh revelations from Heaven through the medium
of the angel Gabriel, who has taken the Maori Tees
wider his special protection, and promised to aid them
in driving the Pakeha into the sea. The adherents of
this species of fanaticism believe themselves to be in-
vulnerable. No hostile bullet man reach them. 'Me
tokenpa has only to bold up his hand, and a whole army
of Pakohas will fall prostrate before him. No oppor-
tunity has occurred of bringing thew miraculous powers
to the test, bet the time may not be ter distant. Mean.
while, this superstition has inspired the insurgent' with
fresh hopes, and led them to hold out longer than they
would otherwise have done.°

WATERING TM E STREETS.

Four persons responded to the tenders invited for
watering the streets, namely, H. Jolliffe at 6s. 6d.
per day; R. Squibb, 7s. ; J. Weakley, ss. 5d.; and
W. Churchill, sa. 10d. Weakley's tender was
accepted, several of the members of the Board
remarking that he most satisfactorily fulfilled his
contract last year.

XRP.CTION OF A PUMP.

The MAYOR said both himself and the Surveyor
had been looking about in order to find out the beet
place to erect the pumps purchased last year for the
purpose of supplying the water carts, and they
recommended that they should be placed near Mr.
WeWord's timber yard.
The pumps were ordered to be erected there
ander the superintendence of the Surveyor.

_Dgrger. 'vs DRAWING AT RODW-ELL.

The MAYOR read a letter received from the Rev.
J. D. Addison, incumbent of Trinity Church, resid•
ing at Rodwell, stating that last autumn he wrote
to Mr. Steggall about a nuisance near his house, in
consequence of which the Surveyor received orders
to examine and report upon it. He had done so,
but nothing further had been done in the matter.
The nuisance was as bad as ever,and when the warm
weather set in would be injurious to health.
It was said to come from Mr. Hawke'a new
houses adjoining, in which proper provision was
not made for their drainage.
Mr. Hums remarked that the Board would be
compelled to carry out the work, and they might as
well do it now as delay it to some future time.
The SURVEYOR was called in, and, in reply to the
Mayor, said the cost of conveying the drainage from
Rodwell to Spring Gardens, including a cesspool,
would be about £6O.

It was considered advisable that the nuisance
should be abated, and tenders were ordered to be
immediately invited for carrying out the work.

THIS SICA•WZIED xvisAlier..

The MAYOR said that in the event of any great
quantity of sea-weed being washed on the Sands, as
was the awe during the visit of the Yeomanry
last year, he had ordered the superintendent of
police to cart it away, and in the event of his not
being able to obtain conveyances he was to have
boats and take it out to sea.

It was stated that Mr. Coode had said that such
an accumulation of sea-weed on the Sands as was the
ease last year was not likely to happen again for 50
years.
This concluded the business of the meeting, and
the Board dispersed.

A Nsw TORPEDO.—An engineer of Stockholm hu
just invented a torpedo boat for blowing up iron-plated
vessels. This machine is made to float beneath the
surface of the water, and is provided at the bow with
• mine, whioh is to explode when it strikes the ship
which is to be set on fire.

SOLDIERS' THRIFT.— During the Crimean war in 1854-
5-6, we find that the soldiers and seamen engaged in it
sent home, doubtless for their families, no less • BUM
than £71,000. The Army Works Corps alone during
that same period, £35,000. In 1858 and 1859, invalided
men'e savings from India amounted to £10,268. In
1859-60, that amount reached the sum of £20,278
Besides which thelaggregate balances of eight regiments
in the regimental banks were £40,499. All this at •
time when every shilling would have purchased inesti-
mable comforts for themselves, but at the expense of
those belonging to them, from whom they were
separated at the call of their country. To the above
may be added even a more touching instance of the kind
feelings prevailing beneath the apparent carelessness
and hard-heartedness of red-costa, and which stands out
in bold and beautiful relief with many • well-founded
tale of contumely and neglect practised in the higher
grades of society towards those of their own flesh and
blood. In 1856 a sons of £22,00 was sent from Alder-
shot by the soldiers to their poor relations !—BritiaA
Army and Navy Bereft,.
VISIT Or THE FRENCH FLEET TO SUNDERLAND.—
The Sunderland Times says, M. Dronyn de Lbuys, in
reply to a request made by the mayor of that town that
the French iron-olads should be sent during the ensuing
summer to Sunderland, said be feared the Governments
of Russia, Prairie, Austria, and Denmark might ask
why these vessels were being sent into the North Sea,
such being an unusual course. But he thought the
difficulty could be overcome if the English Government
would send their iron-clad squadron to France, say
Cherbourg, where both officers and men should have a
hearty reception. In any case, if the fleet should go to
the Irish Channel, they would be ordered to call at some
of the principal ports in the route, such as Torbay,

be passed over. Under these circumstances our Govern-
ment have agreed to send the Channel fleet to France.
A French officer at Cherbourg, states that official
orders had been received there to have the ships of the
Iloith Sea fleet ready as soon as posaible. These will be
the experimental squadron of five new ironclad',
which will, probably, be joined by two or three of the
Mediterranean fleet. It is believed that Admiral
Laronciere Lenoury will be in command. It was also
currently reported at Cherbourg that the English fleet
would visit there, and every disposition was manifested
to give the officers and men a hearty welcome.

BANQUET TO THE lits—Beats. TATTERSALL. On
Tuesday evening a counp!imentary dinner was given at
With,' Rooms, King-street, St. James', London, by the
noblemen and gentlemen olonected with the English
turf, in honour of Meisrs. Richard and Edmund
Tattersall, on the occasion of their removal from the
well-known "Corner" at the top of Grosvenor-place,
where there world-famous firm has carried on baldness
for the last 100 years, to their new and spacious
premises near Albert Gate. The chair was occupied
by Admiral Rons, president of the Jockey
Club, who was sum orted by the Duke of
Beaufort, the Earl of Shrewsbury, Lord Bateman,
Mr. George Payne, Mr. Padwick, and many leading
members of the sporting world. Covers were laid for
about 250 gentlemen. The room presented a very
hrilhant spectacle, which was greatly enhanced by a
magnificent display of mil a, vases, and groups in silver,
illustrating the different styles of racing plate manu-
factured since the year 1770 down to the present period.
About eighty of three splendid trophies, won at Ascot,
Goodwood, Doncaster, and other places, and repre-
senting an aggregate value of nearly £20,000, had been
lent for the occasion by their owners. The collection
VMS brought together with much pains from all parts of
the kingdom by Mr. C. F. Hancock, of Bruton-street,
Bond-at'eet, and was inspected with much interest by
the guears before the commencement of the proceedings.
'1 He DUE 6 OP BRAUPORT ON Till CHASE.—At the
complimentary dinner, given to the Meatus. Tattersall,
on Tuesday, his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, in respond-
ing to the toast of "The Chase," remarked that the
love of that description of sport was rapidly extending
through France and Germany, and even to Italy. If
Englishmen flattered themselves that they were the
best riders across country in the world, he was afraid
they were somewhat mistaken. No doubt the French
had something to learn from us, but we had much to
learn from them in return. (Cheers.) Some of the
French establishinenta would astonish some of the
patron's of sport in this country, and many very useful
lemons were to be learnt from our neighbours. Every
day that he engaged in the chase be binis convinced
of bow little he knew about, and how much be had to
learn. (Cheers.) Hunting was, be believed, an occupa-
tion admirably suited for promoting good feeling among
all classes, from the farm labourer upwards. Men of
all classes of opinion, of all shades of politics, however
different they might be in other matters, always
indulged in friendly feelings on the field. Be confessed
himself to be very fond of racing, and no man enjoyed
its excitement more than he did, but, in a rational
point of view, he *ought the advantage was rather on
the side of hunting. (Cheers.) He hoped that racing
and hunting would go hand in band so long as England
was England. (Cheers).

A POLITICAL CRISIS—There appears to be a crisis
in Danish politics. The session of the Rimmed was
closed on Tuesday, when the King in his message
addressed to the house regretted that the debate upon
the proposed modification of the constitution bad been
without result, and said he viewed with grief the con-
tinuation of the present state of things. His Majesty
expressed a wish that God would avert the dangers which
may result from this position of affairs.

has to mourn over the defection of many of her
sons, and the general apathy and indifference of the
great body of the people in this matter, it is a source
of great encouragement to know that some
of our dissenting brethren are becoming
convinced of the value of setting apart such a holy
season for prayer and meditation, and that in numbers
of their chapels and meeting-houses public worship
is held, when especial reference is made to the great
and awful event which more than 1800 years ago
took place in this our world. It is greatly to be
hoped that the very earnest addresses which some
of the clergy have issued on the subject, may
awaken a spirit of revived interest in this matter.

REMOVING SAND FROM THE BACKWATER.

The Harbour Master's report co—mplained of two
persona taking 184 tone of sand from the Backwater
for Mr. Crickmay's brickyard; and also that the
light in the "Jack•in:the-Basket" atilt went out.

-Mr. HIBBS said he believed there was a resolution
on the books of the Council stating that Mr.
Crickmay could take sand from the Backwater on
payment of 6d. per ton.
Several persons having replied in the affirmative,
Mr. HIBBS tusked if Mr. Crickmay had ever paid
any money for the sand, as he had taken very large
quantities.
The TOWN CLERK replied no. The Harbour
Master had only now found it out.
Mr. Alderman BEVEL/LSD said notice must be sent
to Mr. Crickmay, stating that if he did not pay esd.
per ton for the sand he could not have any more.
It was stated that it would be considered larceny
to take sand from the Backwater without the
sanction of the Harbour Master, and the Town
Clerk was instructed to inform the police to bring
any such cases before the magistrates.
LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

A deputation from the residents in Augusta-place,
consisting of Messrs. Robens, Dunn, and Rolls,
waited on the Board, and complained of the great
nuisance to which they were subject from the im-
perfect drainage in front of Augusta-place, and
urging the Board to get tbe matter remedied as soon
as possible, as they had heard it was intended
delaying carrying out the work. Robens said the
evil was a growing nuisance; it was bad enough last
year, but it was ten times worse this.
. . . .

- Tl;e MAYOR said the Board would do all in their
power to have the nuisance remedied before the
Yeomanry came out.
The deputation having thanked the Board for the
courtesy shown towards them then retired.
Mr. HOWARD remarked that all.the deputation
had said in reference to this nuisaoce had not been
exaggerated. He believed if this drain were not
attended to, it would be detrimental to the pros-
perity of the town.

TENDERS FOR THE DRAIN IN AUGUSTA-PLACE.

Four tenders were opened by the Mayor for
making a drain in front of Augusta-place, according
to the plans and specifications of the surveyor, and
which were as follows : T. Dodson, £140; S. Brown,
£127; R. Stannard, £146 (who offered to complete
the work by the Bth of May) ; and Joseph Weakley,
£l3O. Mr. Brown's tender was accepted, and, on
being sent for, he guaranteed that the contract
should be completed by the 6th of May, if not he
was to be liable to a penalty of £5 per day until it
wee completed.

house, said he last saw the deceased alive between
seven and eight o'clock on the previous morning, in
the stable, where he bad been in the habit of sleep-
ing. Witness asked him what he was about, to
which he replied "About two hours ago I thought I
should not see you any more." Deceased did not
appear well, and wished some one to go to Mr.
Dnrden's, to get an order for his removal to the
union. Deceased had not taken any breakfast, and
about three-quarters of an hour afterwards witness
was informed by his son that Green was dead, which
he found to be true on hastening to the stable. On
the evening previous deceased came to his house,
and complained of being unwell, and by witness's
order he was given a glass of wine and water.—
George Brown oorroborsted his father's evidence,
and the jury found that death resulted from natural
causes, there being no marks of violence on the
body.

MUSHROOMS.

Since writing the Mushroom pamphlet, I have
made one or two disooreries beyond those mentioned
therein. They were not inserted ib the mooed
edition of that work, because I was afraid some one
would make a mistake. My old way waa as follows
—After the bed was made up and the heat had
subsided to about the temperature of mdk, the bed
was spawned, moulded, and plastered down', &tot
This plan drove the remaining heat out of the
Without a little heat, the spawn could not grew
and run; and, should the lewd oils naaagumeil
occur—such as too much water be given or • bed
be made up two moist, or with too little :covering, iko.
—the probability was that the crop would be
spoiled.

-
My practice lately, with about twenty beds, and
more since the time when 1 first tried it, has beet to
spawn and finish the beds as soon as the haat
_hero
to be considerable—say 100 degrees or more. More
the bed gets to its greatest heat, everything must
be ready. The spawn is inserted in the dung,
merely covering it over. The mould is then put on,
and trodden down bard, watered, plastered, and
finished. A stick is inserted to ascertain the heat.
By the next morning, strange to say, the heat ha,
entirely gone down nearly to the bottom, so that no
injury to the spawn can take place. it was difficult
to convince even myself of the new effect. But it
is material. Plowing three or four inches of cold
mould on the surface of the beds, then treading it
very hard, and watering and plastering it, all bends
to drive the heat downwards.

The great advantages of 7.—his method ate, that the
ammonia and the strength of the miners isre not
wasted, and that the heat, which, u it were, ki
latent, SAM be brought up when wanted by ooverlng
the beds with hay or straw; consequently, the crop
can be produoed two weeks earlier than by the old
plan. Great care is required not to foroe the crop
*miner that in Mx weeks.

BEE KEEPING IN DORSETSHIRK

Since you have published my notee on the cultivation
of bees, I have had letters and visits from all parts of
the county. I can only express to numerous corral'.
pondents that they will fina in those notes all that any
bee-keeper can require—he may attempt the must ex.
. .
connive hives, he may go to the expense of bar hives,
isaicomb hives, glass supers, and all the experiments of
bee cultivation without the satisfaction the simple
plan I have indicated will afford him. One positive
disagreement has appeared to which I shall reply—it is
In the large meAsurement of my hives. I maintain
that bees are far too much cramped in the usual bell
hive. Room is of no possible concern to bees' they will
build in houses or churched occasionally. I know a
I' church roof where bees have built and lived for many
years, but if they are hived in straw houses they cer-
tainly shonli be kept warm and dry • both con-
tingencies are easily provided for. The mischief
to bees appears to be our ill-constructed hives.
They are far too slovenly in workmanship, and
frequently made from engine threshed straw, knocked
to pieces before the manufacture. Hilrell are worth-
less unless very carefully made of rye straw. One of
my correspondents, Mr. Webber, of Martinstown, has
sent me an admirably-worked hive, and, could we have
invariably similar work, I should confidently allow a
family of bees to occupy it for six or seven years. After
that the habitation may be changed by giving them •
new hive at the top, instead of a super. And when
you are satisfied they have built, close up the entrance
.4 the old pot and open an arranged entranee in the
upper hive. About August remove the old hive, aid
should it contain bees overturn it about 50 yards from
the spot, they must then perforce return to the nsw
-habitation. You may lose a few bees by the operation,
but you will at all events have your old stock replaced,
end they will soon regain strength by good feeding.
One fast with regard to these notes is worthy of record;
it is that! have had promises f rem old destroyers that they
will do no no more, the plan is so simple and economical
than no excuse can serve. And, should it be necessary,
these notes on bee keeping in Dorsetshire shall be re-
published in a cheap form for the information of
then who have not read the articles in the Dorset
Expreas.
