MR. CROSS AND THE WATER COMPANIES.

Mr. Crom tells us dust "we cannot obtain such kind of
unification as might do all that can be effected by that
step, by any mere arrangements among the companies
themselves." Me yen us that, as y, are go by, the value of
the .....ompanies' property increases, and that he has put
before Parliament th. best bargain that can be made. If
the oompanies had the statutory right to provide for all
the future increase of London, in dednitaly marked-out
proportions, and to raise and issue as much capital as they
required for the purpose, Kr. Cross's argument would
hold water. But what is the case From 1874 to 1878 the
sum laid out on the works of the companies was increased
by £1,517.990 ; or at the rate of 111/10,000 per annum.
Looking at the steady inamme of London. which is at
the rate of Ilft per cent. per annum, the Z 12,682,649 of 1878
Ii likely to become £13.958,413 by the close of 1882,--that
is to say, that In four years from the present time the
companies will have to cotne to Parliament for new
powers. And in the face of • certainty, which can only
be a question of • year or two in its occurrence, we are
now asked to pay this large sum to unify the ooneeens,—
and for no other purpose ; and told that we must toy what
the companies agree to take, and that if we wait loam
we shall have to pay more. On the °Dutra/7, there seems
to us no room to doubt that the nearer we lip/roma to the
exhaustion of the actual capital-raisins powers of the
companies, the better for the ratepayers will be the tonne
an which Parliament can and may justly Insist —Elsildsr.

THE COMING ELECTION.

The announcement of the forthcoming dissolution of
Parliament found both parties in this borough well
prepared for a contest. The Hon. Evelyn Ashley, the
present member, will contest the Isle of Wight with
every chance of success, and Mr. Charles Waring, a
former member for the borough, will be the Liberal
candidate in his stead. The Conservative candidate is
Mr. Charles Schreiber, ex.M.P., for Cheltenham, and
step-father of Sir Ivor Guest. The candidates are
both actively engaged in canvassing the electors. As
usual both sides express themselves confident of
victory, and the contest will be a severe onel; but there
is very little doubt that the borough will remain true
to its traditions and place the Liberal candidate at the
head of the poll.

without further excuse in delaying the meet necessary

To flu Editor.

In your report of the inquest on Edward Gilbert, in the
Maprvss. I note that the Coroner, in reviewing the evi-
dence, made the following remark—'• Had &ceased when
ho said be was going to take away his life said so in such
A way as to make Harris believe ho was going to do so, no
man worthy of the name of an Englishman would have
gone away and left him." In my humble opinion Harris,
having run into the house in the dark and saved the man's
life in the first place, is t, be commended, and, having
told the policeman that he left the matter in his hands,
bad done his duty. Surely if it's for anyone to stop in •
house all night alone with • madman it should be rather
• policeman than • private individuaL Then, again, Dr.
Day sew deceased after Harris had gone; and Elisabeth
01%01 says in her evidence that after her brother had
gone back into his own house she and Mr. Scott went in
there shortly after and found him writing on • piece of
paper. So we find that after Harris left, the policeman
was there, and deceased's sister, Mrs. Stro, Dr. Day, and
Scott were with deceased, therefore I can't see that the
witness Harrel was aloes to blame.

Well, Jones, a linen by conscience driven to part
From long-loved ranks, will feel some pangs of heart,
Nor, ass-like, lift his heels against old masters,
Ir tray forth triumph at his friends' disasters.
You pose as patriot-martyr, my good Jones!
A patriot voiee is tested by its tones,
As trees by fruit,; your tones are sour, thrasonic,
And spiced with spite, invectav's finest tonic.
You love the ild cause yet Well, truth to tell,
That passion you dissemble passing well.
Urgent indeed must be the inward prickling
if love that takes so much delight in kicking!
A soldier who from the old ranks falls out
Will scarcely at his comrade's blunders shout ;
A rat, who leaves a ship that's sprung a-leak,
May, when he thinks her sinking, raise a squeak

Ah, Jingo-Jones, pray pardon the suggestion !

Can lend a patriotic grace to—Ratting!

that there was an alliance between the Lalonde and
the Home Rulers for the destruction of the Empire.
The attempt, however, had been frustrated by the

Mason or " Dzmusu."—The manors of Dullish

A little stream which runs at the bottom of my

the village. In Domesday the manor is called Devon*

jectures that the name of the stream is due to its being
dyfal, or unceasing, in contradistinction to the winter

Improbable, and only too wily corrupted by our

BVSTON IIIikDSTOOK.

Tie LAIR OF 7111 VIOTINS.—The body of John
Matthews was discovered Boating In the bay on Friday
evening, about six o'clock. Some coastguards were
on duty, and with • glass fancied they saw something
on the =demo! the water, about three miles at ees.
Concluding it to be the body of Matthews, the only
victim at that time undiscovered, a boat, containing
Richard Helyear and Walter Hawkins, at once put to
sea, and reaching the spot toned the supposition
correct. The clothes were at once identified as those
worn by Matthews at the time of the accident. The
remains, which were much decompossd,were conveyed
to the Anchor Inn, and interred in the sequestered
churchyard of Burton on the following day (Satunfty).
As in the case of Bartlett, whose body was found on
Wednesday last,an inquest was deemed quite unneces-
siu7, as the evidence on the body of Palmer would
have been of precisely the same character.
HOU RNA/COUTH,
8177111/Y SCHOOL CIINTINART.—On Friday afternoon,
In oommernoration of the above centenary, • united
gathering of teachers and friends assembled at Bourne-
mouth,under the auspice, of the West Haute and Rost
Dorset Sunday School Union. A devotional meeting
and conference took place in St. Andrew's Presbyterian
Church, where the subject of "The Lessons of the
Centenary" was o by Mr. T. J. Cox, of the
Loudon Sunday School Union, and 11711 taken up by
a number of Nonconformist ministers and friends. A
tea meeting took place in the Town-hall in the after-
noon, and In the evfting a public meeting was held in
the same room, Mr. J. Kemp-Welch presiding, when
addresses were delivered by the chairman, Mr. T. J.
Co; Mr. Gate' (Exeter), and others.

Count Hatafald, the Gerrom Ambassador, preseated
the Collective Note to the Porte on Thursday. In
Friday's sitting of the Italian Chamber Signor 1101airoli,
the Premier, said complete accord prevailed among the
representatives of the Powers at the Conference,
and expreired his belief that Turkey would
accept their decision. The Sultan's reply it is
thought can hardly be delivered to the European
Cabinet' before the beginning of August at the

WHAT THE WORLD SAYS

_
After all, it seems that Prince Albert Victor is going to
accompany his younger brother, Prince George. on his
next cruise in RMS. Bacchante. I hear that the young
Princes, amongst other distant land., are to visit both
China and Japan.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, now cruis-
ing in the Hercules, Is expected in London on• August 4th,
and on the sth he Is to leave f, a. Coburg, where he will be
joined by the Duchess of Edinburgh tor a stay during the
remaining summer months.
Society is enlivened by a bride and bridegroom whose
united ages amount to a hun lred and fifty years. The
former has been twice led to the altar on previous
occasions, but the virgin heart of the bridegroom has
indulged In • courtship by the side of which Jacob's
dwindles into insignificance and which has at last
been crowned by fruition—and *even thousand • year.

The sporting world is much exercised because it is not
known whether the champion cup-horse (as he is called).
Isonomy, is to enter the lists for the Goodwood Cup.
Rumour says he is to be laid by for a year. and others say
he is to win all the cups this year ; but all are agreed that
no one ever knows till the last moment whether Mr. F.
Gretton's horses are going to run or not It would be well
were it otherwise.

The naval authorities at Portsmouth have decreed that
all officers are to appear with three buttons on the cuffs of
their uniform frock-coats. This does not meet with
tbe approval of the powers at Plymouth; for no sooner
does an officer appear with the obnoxious three buttons
than he is told that he is out of uniform, and off they
have to come, to the detriment of his coat The only way
to make the same cost do duty at both wine would be to
have the buttons fixed to • band of elastic, and thus made
moveable.
The navy estimates have been hurried through for this
year; but! do wish that some inquisitive MP. would ask
for a clear statement of how much money has been swat
In repairs on MILS. Northumberland during the hut
twelve or eighteen months ; and especially how much has
been wasted in reducing the number of her mute from
five,to three. Every penny so spent on this ship, which is
admitted on all hands to be, as a fighting ship, quite
obsolete, has been • wanton waste of money.

lI.M S. Inflexible kw been many years building, and
the public has been often ensured by Admiralty authority
that they need be under no anxiety as to her speedy
completion. Her two Eli-ton guns are about to be put on
board for trial ; but if it be true that this announcement
was coupled with an official warning that it might bovine
neceesary to have them back again, the public will have to
wait some years yet before this experimental vessel is
ready for service.

THE MUSEUM SCHEME.

The very large and influential meeting which I
gathered on Assize day to receive, and which so
cordially welcomed, the propositions submitted, should
be a proof that every one whose opinion on the subject
Is worth consulting is desirous that the noble offer
of Mr. Robert Williams should be accepted in the
Fullest sense, and his intentions carried into effect at
the earliest possible date. A certain amount of, we :
hope not unfriendly, criticism has been indulged in ;
but the critics will do well to remember the common- '
sense warning against looking a gift horse in the
mouth. Mr. Williams has shown himself compliant,
in order to meet the circumstances in which the com-
mittee are placed as to funds, and although it would
no doubt be gratifying to the inhabitants if they could
obtain all the objects originally desired, yet it would
be foolish to risk losing the positive advantages which
are certain to be obtained from the offer and subscrip-
tion as they at present stand. Those who desire
Improvements have only to come forward, and by their
exertions raise the subscriptions to the sum which will
provide for everything rusmed, and should any outsider
feel he has within him what will assist the committee to
30 desirable a result, they will no doubt be delighted
to add him to the list, or to receive the further help in
any way which may be most agreeable. Meanwhile
the unoccupied building in fligh-street seems to cry
out for utilisation, and we wish the scheme of Mr.
NVilliarns and the committee as early and as complete
success as can be obtained. There will be a School of
Art accommodated in the building, and thi, will be a
local advantage, a first-rate museum and library will
al., be at the same central and prominent position,
and the object of the manager; we Mc ai,ureil will be
to make it 115 popular as possible.

BLANDFORD.

EITI3MIVI ROBUST AND Busturay.—Early on
Friday morning an extensive bureau, and farmyard
robbery took place here. The first depredation was
oommitted at the White Horse Inn, where the house,
however, wee not broken into, but seven fowls and
two ducks were taken out of the backyard, and the
two ducks were found in the yard of Mr. Hardy, a
next door neighbour. The thief or thieves next went
down to the house of Mr. Bing, gunsmith and
armourer to the Rifle Corps, from where, the windows
having been broken in two places large enough to put
one's arm through, eight revolvers were stolen, their
value being about £lO or £l2 A visit was next paid
to the shop of Messrs. Curtis and Son, tailors, &a.,
where ore of the large plateaus windows was literally
smashed in, ald two rolls of cloth and two umbrellas,
valued at Ft or £4, taken. The next place broken
Into was the shop of Mr. Monckton, shoemak sr,
whence ten pairs of boots were taken. In addition to
this 30 fowls were taken from Mr. Monckton's yard.
Going further afield the next call was made at the
farm of Mr. Lock, of Biandford St. Mary, and two or
three cheeses were stolen from the dairyman's house,
and thirteen fowls from the farmyard. It seems rather
singular that nothing of the culprits was seen by the
borough police, whose office is almost opposite the shop
of Mears. Curtis, especially as the latter place was not
broken into quietly, the noise of the falling glass from
the broken window being distinctly heard by the people
living near. This was about one o'clock in the morn-
ing, but it was so dark that it was impossible to dis-
tinguish any one in the street. The result of the
labours of the police has been the apprehension of •
young man named Frank Upshalk
_residing with his
sister at Bather, near Sturtainster Newton, who was
apprehended on Friday by Superintendent Grant, on
suspicion of being one of the persons who committed
the robberies. Some of the stolen property MIA totted
in his possession. The accused was one of the men
engaged in putting up the dinner tent for the Amal-
gamated Societies fete. He was brought to the
Blandford Police-station on Friday evening.
