At I>evizes wheat was in small supply with a firm
trade at last week's prices. At Birmingham no
perceptible variation in prices, seconds red being
quoted at 575. to 615. and white at 625. to 665. pr

On Frida.ii, at Mark Lane, English wheat was slow,
of sale at previous values. The demand for foreign
was very dull, with a downward tendency in prices;
American Is. per qr. lower on the week. The flour
trade was very dull. Barley was steady in value. Oats
were rather cheaper. Maize &I. per quarter lower.
&vats and peas unaltered. At Liverpool a moderate
trade was dune in red wheat, the finer quales about
supporting previous rates, but other qualities were Id.
to ad. per cental lower; white kinds slow of sale, at a
decline of ad. to ad. per cental. Flour Is. per sack
cheaper. Oats easier. Beans firm. Indian corn
scarce for the moment, and Is. per qr. dearer in
consequence. At Wakefield the few parcels of fresh
English wheat on offer are generally taken off at last
Friday's prices, but for any other descriptions there is
scarcely an inquiry. Spring cons steady at late
rates.

Ileveral amendments were proposed but they were all
defeated.
TIWILIDAY.—The mound reading of the Factories Bill, which
had come up with the approval of the Commons, was moved by
Loan RBACCI4AIIr.

Stew., followed by Lotto fluarreasintY, who thanked Ministers
for the bold and manly way in which they had grappled with
the question ,1 employing females, young persons, and children,
and expressed n hope that now we were landed in the Ten
Hours MI the matter would be set at rest for Me next 20 years,
at load. He congratulated next their lordships on the results
Which had sprung from the factory legislation of the last 30
reiln period the invested capital in textile manu-
aglvi had increased 60 fold, whilst the commerce of the
country had augmented SOO fold, and wages had doubled.
Contemporaneously the state of the workers had materially
Improved, and with the substitution of lofty palataal workrooms
for the old, low-pitched, crowded, and dirty mills there had
been a marked advance in the cleanlineet, the morality, and
health of the people.
Loll) ABSIUM•111., though concurring generally in this review
of past legislation, nevertheless considered that restrictions

ENGLISH WOOL

--
During the past week transactions have not been
quite so numerous as ta the previous fortnight, but
this is owing to manufacturers having covered their
most pressing wants, and being unwilling to pay the
advanced rates now asked until actually compelled to
do so, which, according to present appearances, is
likely to be soon. The demand for colonial and for
low foreign wools continues active, and enhanced rates
arc required by holders, and to some extent paid by
buyers, who are generally low in stock.

COVENT GARDEN.
Large supplies of soft fruit are now corning in.
Markets are well attended, and business is steady.
Small peaches and nectarines can be had for 6s. per
doz. West Indian pines (good), is. to as. each, in
consequence of which in some cases English pines are
quoted at lower rates than last week.,

IRYANI) STRAW.

SEEDS.
Our seed markets are now thinly attended, and the
business passing, as might be imagined, is extremely
limited. For the moment the articles most in request
are white mustard, trifolium incarnatum, and winter
tares. For new French trifolium as. to 35. per cwt.
more money is now asked, and reports from Paris
describe it as very firm at this advance. For yearling
and old parcels of English growth increased rates are
also demanded. Sowing rape seed, being in dimin-
ished request, can be bought on somewhat easier
terms. Canary seed, on account of its continued
scarcity, maintains the extravagant rates lately reached.
English linseed is still obtainable at a moderate
figure. Blue boiling peas are very scarce and dear.
Other articles, in the absence of transactions, offer no
subject for remark.—John Shaw and Sons.

STIOHLA2M.

ACCIDENT.—As one of Mr. Roger scarier! was returning
to this village on Wednesday evening, the 17th he met
with an accident, which, luckily, only broke his leg. It
appears that the carter, Miller by name was in charge of
horses and wagon, and had been to Blandford, and was
nearly home, viz., at Normandy cottages, when be saw a
conveyance coming toward him. He jumped down, or
rather tried to, to lead his horses out of way, when his
foot or his clothing caught in the shaft of the wagon, and
he fell on his face in the road, both wheels passing over
his left leg and breaking it just above the ankle.

WEIEBORNE.
RELIEvING OFFICER.—At the meeting of the Guardians
of this Union, on the 11th inst., Mr. Samuel Feistier
Thomas, of this town, was elected (almost unanimously)
relieving officer from a large number of candidates.
A Doo TMENTV-ONE YEARS OLD.—Mr. H. 0. Chislett
writes to the Field as follows:—" In your last week's
impression • letter appears noting the circumstance of •
dog having lived to the age of 14 years. An intimate
friend of mine here owned a small beagle bitch, which was
born on the lot of May, 1051 (the day of the opening of the
first Hyde Park Exhibition, and a day well remembered
by most of us, and especially by my friend, he having
gone to town to see the ceremony), the mother—also his
property—having riven birth to this and three others
during his absence. It died during the fall of the year
1071, thus attaining the great age of over 21 years. It had
never been out of my friend's possession. For the past
few years of its life it had become quite deaf, and partially
blind. I have seen the dog ouer and over again during
the put 20 years, and have every means of knowing the
foregoing to he strictly accurate. I should perhaps add
that dunng the pest ten or twelve years of its life it had
quite abandoned the pursuit of the hare in favour of the
fireside and the rug outside its master's bedroom.
THE Gts QUESTION.—The lighting committee have not
yet got over their difficulty as to the lighting of the town.
The last idea is to light the town with oil-lamps the
vestry tieing recommended to take the matter under its
own management.

-.l;nl:Tri-t-roi.;;;-Friday.—Ilefore the Rev. Carr J. Glyn end
Lieut.-Col. Paget.

Edwin Hart, of Holt, was charged with breaking and enter-
ing the dwelling-howie of George Stout, at Stapehill, on the fith
July last, and stealing therefrom a pair of boots value 15a sod
a canvas jacket value Its. The prisoner was convicted of an
assault at this court on the loth July, and was committed for
two months' hard labour. When apprehended at RoMmi by
P.C. Bennett, for the assault, he was wearing the boots and
Jacket which had been stolen from the prosecutor's house, the
particulars of which had not been then obtained by the pollee,
On being discharged from prison on the 10th lust, P.C.
apprehended him with the stolen arUcles In his possession.
The prisoner in defence said he bought the things of a tramp at

A RZFUGE FOR ADULTERATOR& —The county of Dorset
seams to be the paradise of those who wish to sell, and—
if there be any—of those who wish to buy what, on the
opposite coast of France, is called in official documents
"sophisticated" milk. In the winter Lord Portman, at
the Dorset Quarter Sessions, made game of the magis-
trates of Somerset for having appointed a county analyst.
The tables now seem to he turned, and the men of Dorset
are beginning to write to their local papers to say how
much on this point they envy their neighbours over the
border. Dorset has some things to be proud of. It has a
vigorous chief constable, who has got rid of the beggars.
But against the adulterators he can do nothing : his hanals
are tied for lack of an analyst to guide him, The Dorset
man "reads with a good deal of satisfaction" how the
Somerset magistrates have been fining people right and
left for selling adulterated articles. He naturally asks
why this should happen only in Somerset, and cries out,
"Are offenders of this description in Dorset to go scot
freer Nay, he goes on to tell a story how one of the
offenders in Somerset, on being fined, was heard to say,
" I'm off into Dorset, where there is no analyst to plague
a fellow's life out." He complains sadly, "Can you get
anything pure now r The mustard will not keep; the
amino of pure coffee is not to be had; nay, the cream will
not rise; "butter at Is. 51d.," it is hinted, does not
"come straight from the churn." All this comes, it would
seem, from lack of an analyst. Let us hope that Dorset
will soon enjoy the blessings of unsophisticated cream
and mustard; but one question cannot fail to start itself.
If an analyst is useful in one county, he can hardly fail
to he useful in another. It is surely for the wisdom of
parliament to decide whether analysts are or are not
needed throughout the kingdom. A. Continental would
stare at the notion of such a matter being left to the
discretion of any local body. —Pail-Nall Gaulle.

A FRENCII TRAGEDY.

At a Short distance from the village of Ampuis, mys the
Jannis: de Lyon, is a hamlet consisting of some half's-
damn honest. In one of these lived a family named Mon-
tand. COnfli2 of four persons—the two brothers, Pierre
and Jean, SI and W years respectively- the wife of
Jean, elan Ina Duos: and their daughter Marie, aged
nine. Pierre Montaad was unmarried, and occupied Mia-
mi( principally with the isle and purchase of dock, ge.,
whilst Lis brother and statue-in-law worked in the fields.
On Monday morning at Mx o'clork Madame Montand was
men ia her garden by her neighbours ; not having been
observed during the remainder of the dny„ nor any other
member of the family, the house was ratererl, when a
horrible spectacle presented itself. On the first or Mon-
sieur and Madame Montand were lying on the bed, their
heads being needy severed from the body, whilst near;
them their little daughter lay horribly mutilated and
almost decapitated, at the foot of the bed being a pool of
Wood, which the amaasia bad covered over with ashes.
Tke authorities having being apprised of the crime, the
were closely examined, when it became evident
=airrhad been committed by Jean Montand's brother,
who had long importuned his aisterMlaw with improper
advsnem Whilst the little girl was asleep and her
mother is the garden, Pierre attacked his brother Jean
with a butcher's knife in • mom on the first floor, and
similarly butchered Madame Montand when she entered
the house: he then carried the lifeless bodies upstairs,
evthem on the bed, and completed his horrible work
aga
nearly severing the httle girl's head from her body. A
search was at once made for Pierre Montand, but he had
diaap from the neighbourhood. He has, however,
been =, and there is little doubt that be Is now in the
lianas of justice.

STITRYINSTER NEWTON.
A Sigmas' QUARREL.—At the Police Court. on Friday.
Jtelia Jones, who had previously been before Mr. It. R.
Harvey, on a charge of attempted suicide, and also of
wilfully damaging the window of a dwelling-house, was
again brought up, and committed for trial at the Quarter
Sessions, and is now in Dorchester gaol. It appears that
prisoner as one of three sisters, living at Barton, Karakul'.
The "three graces" did not live on the most amiable terms
with each other ; and in a fit of passion Julia raised the
storm, and commenced battering the windows: finally
attempting to end matters by jumping into a well. The
cold water however had a soothing effect and Julia,
recovering from her rage, repented of her leap in baste
and sang out lustily for help. Assistance was quickly
rendered, and the silly woman rescued. This episode
may perhaps induce the termagant sisters to live peace-
ably for the future.

Praise to the Holiest in the height,
And In toe depth be praise;
In all his work most wonderful.
Mest.iire in .11 his ways"

The sermon, an excellent one, was preached by the Rev.
w. S. S. roles, who took as his text let Epistle St. Peter,
4 chap., 10. ; "As every man bath received the gift, even
le minister the same one to another, AA good Stewards of
the manifold grace of God. . ' The preacher enforced upon
his hearers that they were to use all the gifts given them
by God ...inward., and one of those gifts was the gift of
voice and musical abilities. And a iittestion would
naturally arise "What was 's steward 7" There were two
places in the Old Tedament where the office of steward
was strikingly brought before them, and both were mar-
yellow, types or thrist, the perfect man, the great head of
all our race. He (the preacher) referred to the faithful
servant of Abraham whom his master sent to fetch •
helde for his BON and to Pharoah appointing Joseph ruler
over his people. God had taken man and made him the
chief of all in the world. Seeing, then, their excellent
position, it was their duty to glorify God by voice
and music ; but these gifts were not theirs to
use as playthings, or as idols. He thought
that, as a church, they haul, by God's pleasure
got somewhat out of this danger; but it wag once •
great danger, and a great 'and sad curse to them, the
talent committed to them was hid in a napkin. Even the
young could remember the time when to have a choral
service was looked upon so something strange and
as bringing the freedom of the world to the house ovindl
They might be thankful that they had got beyond that,
sod that they now realised the fact that all that was lovely
and not sinful might be brought into the house of God
and used for His glory. After contrasting the work of the
Sunday school teacher and the chorister, the preacher
observed that the latter WM much more likely to con-
tribute to personal vanity. Not that he wanted to my
anything against the latter, or to undervalue the holy
office, but they must remember that they were stewards.
And mint.teni must be careful how they used their hymns,
and not them out of courtesy to any one, or because
they were set to music that was pleasing. As they
developed music, they must develope worship ; let them
draw out the meaning of the Psalms and hymn; and
remember that the work of the choir was to lead the
pm* in their devotion; with the single desire of pleasing
Gol. Let them look to Christ for guidance, to thin of
whom they had a perpetual memorial in the altar, "This
do ye in remembrance of Me" After the sermon the hymn
commencing

" Crown !Mu with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own."

During the collection, on behalf of the Choral Associa•
ton, 11r. Stone played another voluntary ; during which
Ur precession wao reformed, and the collection being
made, the Rev. F. E. Allen pronounced the benediction,
sod the clergy and choirs left the church, singing the
Recoisional Hymn,

throwing light upon the economical position of the

SEEDS.

Our markets during the past week have been well
attended, with a fair amount of business passing.
The demand for trifolium still continues, and the
stocks of fine seed being light prices show no sign of
yielding. Winter tares are in active request and
rather dearer, a good inquity for them having sprung
up in the eastent counties. Mustard and rape sea
arc both without quotable variation. New rye for
sowing meets with a free sale at full prices. In
clover seeds there is very little now doing. The
unfavourable reports of the new crops induce holders
to cling to their stocks with great firmness; the
level of present prices is considerably higher than that
of last mason. New French Italian meets with a
moderate sale at recent quotations.—John Shaw and

Reformatory School had a very pleasant outing last
Friday, on the completion of harvest, They were con-
veyed to Dorchester in waggons kindly lent by the neigh-
bouring farmers, and they made the county town lively
by playing sonic airs in really capital style. Proceeding
to 'Weymouth by the 9.3(1 South-Western train; they
subsequently visited Portlanp, and possibly some of the
lads might think it a very pleasant thing to go to PorUand
under such happy circumstances. They were accompanied
by their good friend Kr. Scent, with his daughter and
Miss Lovelace, and the farm foreman, and made up a
party of about forty. It was a beautiful day, an their
trip was much enjoyed. The lads are all teetotallers, and
Mr. Sanborn, of the Breakwater Hotel, treated then, all
to ginger beer. Going through Weymouth their attire
and the processional order of their progress, attracted
attention. They were a healthy and wholesome looking
lot of lads, and it is greatly to be hoped will so profit br
their training at Milborne that hereafter they will lead
honest and useful lives.

ANOTHER AMERICAN CHURCH SCANDAL
NUnder the heading "A Bad Year for Clergymen:- the
en York Despatch, of August:llrd, rays :—lt seems as if
the Glendenning case in Jersey City would nutria the
terrible Alice Bowlsby tragedy. The young woman, Mary
Pomeroy, just deceased, has been inhumanly treated, and
by a man, or a minister, who could have married and
saved her, saving himself as well, It was preferred to let
her die, which she did on Thursday last, charging in her
dying moments the guilt of her undoing upon the Rev.
John S. Glendiuning. her pastor. The really sad, wicked
features of this tragedy are as darkly prominent as those
of any which has occurred in recent times. This seems to
be an exceptionally bad year for clergymen. Scandals
and slanders or the saddest of truths rule the hour, Glen-
denning still thrives in Jersey city, and the natural con-
sideration is that that considerable town has no firmly 'et
lamp poste.

TIIE NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS'
UNION.

that Joseph Arch's wages were raised last December to
a week on a false and fraudulent plea, and .als—"
shall fight to vindicate my character, and honour, and
truthfulness at any cost and every risk it be even
that it sinks Joseph Arch to merited obloquy and
obscurity: or that the Union undeservedly falls to
pieces, so infamously led, and so infamously mis-
managed."

prices showed a slight decline, as compared with those
of the previous week, while best descriptions changed
hands readily, and commanded a little more money.
White wheat moved off at 44.5 to 52s per qr ; and red
ditto at aas to sos per qr.

Friday's currencies—At Dublin, Irish wheat changed

quiet, at previous currencies.—At Southampon,
market fairly attended. Wheat met a steady sale at
the full prices of last week. Barley, oats, banns and
peas steady, at late rates. —At Wakefield, not much
