A poor man, Joseph Damon, I need not say bow pa r.

Three Months' old, the majority of the balance qu
helpless, was on Wednesday last driving his master's
team (Mr. S. Spites) from Dorchester to Nether Corns,
fell under the wheels and crushed to death.

To a generous and feeling community such as exist'
in the County of Dorset, whose warm-bearted sym-
pathy was so freely and nobly shown in the late lament.
able Fire at Dewlith, will not, I ass sure, withhubl
their sympathy on the present missies ; there is mica
might be urged in behalf of this poor woman, be
general good character has always been remark,. .
Pious, cheerful, if only a crust to divide between he :
bite partner and 11 little ones, they were always strictl •
honest in all their dealings, grateful and affectionate.
Truly he that giveth to the poor, ke., kc., in this iU

Bereavement, the worst of —, and finally a shock-

POOLE.

it IFLE CORPS. —We are happy to report the suc-
cessful manner in which the establishment of this
corps is progressing. There appears to be a general
feeling in the town in favour of following the ex-
ample set in other parts of the kingdom of arming
for self protection and defence, and there are few
inhabitants of any standing who refuse to assist the
movement, either by joining the corps as effective
members, or to aid it by their subscriptions. The
following scheme of terms has been issued by the
committee for the guidance of those willing to be.
come members of the corps:—

The Corp. mill be divided low effective and honorary mad
ben.

All elfectirew aril' contribute 1091. 64. loan annual aubserip-
tion, and Ino. ad.. an entrance fee to the funds of the Corp..
Three-fourths of the rifle. required are prombed by the
Governinent, free of charge. and the remaining one-fourth will
moot likely he given by the time the Corp. will need to use
them. The rifle emnicquently does not form an Item of en-
penoe In rotimathig the equipment of the nienibers.
The remaining Immo of equipment conobt of uniform, waist
belt, Oiding frog, and cartouche bag, which it is estimated
will COMIC to about lA. .

Persons who may be unable to hear thin expenne will be
more or lee., ..ut of the fund now raising by public
that, if eligible in other rapects, their inability
1111.11 their own equipment need to be no obstacle to their
Joining the corp..
Effectiveu are bound to scree any where in, but not out of,
Great Britain, in Gee of actusl invasion ; and to be returned se
effective., they 1004 attend at the exerciseo of the corpe eight
times in every fur months—any further attendance is optional.
Honornry members are hot enrolled and come under no

privilege of being I.entlitted to use the practice ground when
It to not requited by the enrollal member..
The bye-laws and regulations of the company have
also been drawn up by a committee, and will be sub-
mitted for the approval of the members at a general
meeting on Friday next. We understand that about
60 iiersons have already joined the corps, which
number will soon be increased as the terms become
known, and the necessity for taking vigorous steps
to prevent the possibility of invasion becomes
apparent.

THE SCOTTISH LICENSING SESTICII--The Royal
Commission appointed by the late Government before
leaving office for the purpose of inquiring into the
licensing systein of Scotland was to meet at Edinburgh
Wednesday, and after exhausting the evidence olfensl
there, proceed to Glasgow. In compliance with repre-
sentations made to the commisaioners, both by parties
favourable and opposed to the Act of 1853, the inquiry
was to be open to the Kt:mend the public.

L 05.1 31A1L-11AGS.—As the mail•coach WAS pro
meding northwards between Invcniess and Tarn, on
Wednesday week, the guard ditouvered that live bags
were miming. He mounted one of the coach•horses,
and riding back found the bags lying on the road wine
miles south, with the letters either opened or torn up,
and thrown into one of the bags. Suspicion fell upon a
man who had been seen on the road about this point ;
he was arrested, and one of the Dingwall waybills WSA
found in his pocket. He is au elderly person, named

.1 communication from Brussels states that the
inister of Foreiga Affairs has .leclaresl that the crea-
tion of a military marine apix.sred to him the in,lis-
pensable complement the Lill relative to the fortifica-
tions of Antwerp. The eataldislinient of such a force
would coat from sic to :even millions of francs at fret,
and one million each year afterwards.

The. yienna papc.rl. continue to be full of invective

against Prwoos, and the B,rlin i' irs ri pay them in the
same coin. The unreserved way in which the Prussian
Government has ILIAIIa public the whole of the dila.-
• math, transactions during the war, so far as it was en-
gaged in them itself, heel/1B not to have removed the sus-
picion from Austria that it has been wilfully betrayed by
its federal allies. The Austrians pretend to the know-
ledge of some secret transactions from which the veil is
yet to be removed.
The Prussia* Gazette publishes the following decree,
signed by the Minister of War and the Minister of the
Interior :—A Cabinet order of the Prince Regent of the
25th having directed the demobilisation of the mobilise.'
guard of the army, the ordinances prohibiting passports
to be granted for foreign countries to men belonging to
Lb. reserve and the landwehr cease to be in force. Those
who belong to the reserve cannot, however, yet obtain

inister of War of March 8 remains in vigour.

TUESDAY.

At the morning sitting, the Income-tax, dm., Ilill was
read a third time and passel.
The House then went into committee upon the Police
(Counties and Boroughs) Law Amendment Bill, the
clauses of winch underwent much discussion.
In the evening,
Colonel EitExcit brought before the House. and
founded upon his statement of Lets a question to the
Chair,—the peculiar situation in which Lord Bury was
placed in consequxime of the ch Cklull of the Norwich
Election Committee voiding his sent.
Mr. 11. MiLsrs moved an addre,s to Her Majesty,
praying Her 3lajesty to he pleased to enter into negriti-
atiationa with the Xfoveniment of the United States of
America, for the purpose of preventing the assaults
and cruelties committed on merchant seamen engaged in
traffic between this country rind the United States, and of
bringing to justice the perpetrators of such offxnees.
The mot: was seconded by Mr. J. EWART.
Sir G. Lams observed that in ClUes of offence, com-
mitted by American sailors in American ships on the
high seas, the l'eown of England possessed no power to
exercise jurisdiction. We bail a treaty with the United
States providing for the mutual extradition from either
State sif parties guilty of certain crimes. An obvious
renosly waa to extend the number of offences compre-
hended in the Extradition Trenty, or to give to this
country jurisdiction over offences COMmitted in
American ships on the high sees, and rice creed, which
was within the power of both nat; by the legislative
action of the two Governments. Another remedy was
to arni the Consuls a ith authority to subject offenders,
natives if the two oountries, to the criminal jurisdiction
of either; and to this plan both Governments might
consent.
The motion, after a few wonla from Mr. HENLET and
the ATTORNEY-CF....011AL, was agreed to.
Mr. AM/Miami SNITH moved for a select co:nmittee
to inquire into the rights as claimed by the Crown anal
other bodies connected with the foreshores, tidal rivers.
estuaries, and bed of the sea round the coasts of the
United Kingdom ; and to ascertain aud report whether
any anal what legislation might be required for defending
the mid rights. and for securing those of the public nnfl
individuals. Ho was proceeding with his :notion when
the House wee counted out, at a quarter past 8 o'clock.

BLA NDFORD.

The old workhouse was put up to be sold by auc-
tion at tho Crown Hotel, on Wednesday last, by Mr.
T. M. Park. The property was divided into five
lota, the more readily to attract purchasers. The
number of persons attending the sale was small,
Lid the lots uttered at the reserve,' pricis were not
thought sufficiently low to induce competition. NO
bidding was made for either lot.
A large proportion of the farmers in the district
have finished wheat harvest, and on several farms
the longdooked for sumer has welcomed " barvist
home.' This practice is, however, being gradually
discontinued, and a money allowance is mostly sub-
' stituted. The fields—except on the later farms.
which ace only partly cleared—so recently covered
with the waving grain, look stubbly and are, amok
dotted only with the gleaners, whose task is now
nearly over. The weather has been much cooler,
and some rain has fallen, but not to such an extent
as to interfere with the clearing. There is a great
scarcity of labourers, and the want is being met by
many of the farmers employing the rasping machine

and lasting good, in having obliged the nee of a
machine calculated to facilitate the securing the
crops, lessening expense, and rendering its owners
comparatively independent of those fluctuations in
the labour market which are likely to become eves
greater in the future than they have been in the
past. The barley crop is generally wandered inferior,
the grain having been too quickly matured by the
hot weather, and is therefore wanting in that
plumpnem which pleases the maltster. The assimn
has not been favourable to the growth of Mssw, and
sheaf, of wheat as a consequence, handle heavier
than in wet seasons, but we find the general
opinion to be that an average yield may be expected.
The root crops are looking much better since the
late genial showers, and the prognosticated damage
by the worm and the fly will not, so far as we can
judge, be realized.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.

THZ INDIAN AMT.—The total sums charged against
the Government of India on account of Her Majesty's
troops (excluaive of her Indian forces) since the Ist of
31ay, 1857, up to the date of the returns received,
aniumnt to £4,614,563. Fur 1858-11 statements have not
yet arrived from India. The above sum includes
claims in respect of disbursements in India on account
of Queen's troops serving in India and retiring pay, pen-
sions, d:c.
Tilt MILITIA ENTINATLIL—The estimate for the
charge of the disembodied militia from the bit of April,
Itt:di, to the :flat of March, 1860 (366 days,) ii. £462,850,
including, 1:411,000 for raising and training the militia
1:25,000 for retinal allowances to officers, arid El 6,300 for
the charge of out-peusioners of the militia and local
militia. The estimate to the 31st of March 1859, was
£132,990. _ . .

Co'rrox.—A recent official return supplies interesting
information with reference to the quantity of cotton
and wool imported into the United Kingdom in the past
year. The total receipts of raw cotton in 1856 were
1,034,342,176:b. (the largest aggregate yet reached), and
of this enormous quantity 833,237,7761 b. came from the
United States, 18,617,871 b. from the Brazibi, 38,248,112
lb. from the Mediterranean, 132,722,5761 b. from British
India, 367,8081 b. from the West Indies and British
Guiana, and 11,148,0321 b. from other sources. The im-
portations in 1858 from the United States were consider-
ably in excess of any former year. In 1848 the total
receipts from all countries were 713,020,1611 b., so that
the trade has expanded about 45 per cent. in 10 years.
The proportions of the various sources of supply in 1848
were as follows:—United States, 844 per cent.; the
Brazils about 21 per cent., the Mediterranean, 1 per
emt. ; British India 12 per cent., and the West Indies,
British Guiana, and other countiles not specified about
11 per cent. In 1858 the United States contributed 804
per cent., the Brazils about 1 per cent., the Mediter-
ranean per cent., British India 12i per cent., and
0113 West Indies, British Guiana, and other countries
it I,ecithsl üb.iut fl per cent. It thus appears that
while the demand for cotton has increl.wd in the period
:older review 15 per cent., the efforts made by the
Manchester interest t." render themselves less dependent
on the I lilted States have succeeded to the extent of
about 41 per cent. The Aeuericaas, however, gent us
last year 233,00,7121 b. in excess of the quantity they
esp,rteil to Great Britain in 1818. The receipts from
British India fell off very serioudy last year, the dimi-
nution being no less than 117,615,5681 b. But far this
circumstance the proportion of the dincrime supplies
would not have been so great. The receipts from the
Mediterranean in 1854 were larger than in any former
ycar, but the West Immdis end British Guiana retro-
graded. From "other countries " the supplies huweased
considetaWy.

HOUSE OF LORDS-MONDAY

The Royal anent was given by commission to several
Hilt, of • public and private nature.
The report of amendments on the Divorce Court Bill
was brought up, and after a slight discussion On an
amendment of lord Redesdale to limit the power of
the Court to sit with closed doors to suits of nullity of
marriage, arid which was carries' on a division by a
inajoriry of the report was adopted, and the Dill
read a third time and passed.
Lord iiiismi.KY of ALDEHIAY, in calling the attention
of Her Majesty's Government to the admission of Bri-
tiah salt ice'. China, stated that the aupply of salt to a
populatimi of :100,000,(KA) had been hitherto a monopoly
in the hands of the Chinese Government. It would be
only fair in asking permission to import malt into China
to mak.: 16011111 compensation equal to the revenue that
would he thereby list to the Chinese Government. He
coneloded by asking what dells had been token by the
uovenuoent for the purpose of bringing the qui:lotion
for admitting British salt into China before the Court
of

bird El.:1,1 said lie concurred with all that had
Mien (ruin Lord Stanley of Alderley, but it was not so
easy to make the Chinese Commissioner entertain the
same views. The monopoly of salt was a very ancient
one in China, and would on that account be dilScult to
overthrow, and, in addition to that, it was a very ',re-
ductive source of revenue. With respect to the Amnon.-
anent of a Russian Ambassador at Pekin, be thought it
woold be as well for this country not to press at first
with OA, great stun, ncy on the Chinese auvernua nt
our right secured by treaty Lf permanent residence.
hliould, however, other nations insist on that right he
presumed we 'liquid nut fail to do the same.

RAILWAY ACCOMMODATION.

To the Editor of the
.Dornee County Empress and

Agricultural Gazcae.

SIR,—A paragraph with the above howling isp-
peared in your paper last week, from which we lawn
that the South-Western Company have started •
train from Southampton at such an hour as to enable
travellers to ()recce(' from Dorchester by Grist
Western third class. Do you think the South-
Western could arrange with their " Great"
Synonym to run an engine and a carriage or two
as far as Evershot once or twice a day for the ac-
commodation of travellers in that neighbourhood.
It might be arrange,' at a trilling expense, as there is
already an ample staff at Evershot station (there is
a station there) consisting of a collector, porter, and
three policemen, by whom we led confident a alight
addition to their present labours (?) would be con-
sidered as nothing compared to the advantage the
public would derive by having trains for their
use as well as a railroad?

Your obedient Servants,

Dorchester fair, no doubt, prevented the attendance
of many, but more business was done than might
have ken expected from the small number
of farmers present. The harvest beginning earlier
this year than usual, the =whets will now be more

capricious and more decided character. There was
a rise of ono shilling on flour this morning.

A labourer named Lonning, of Spetisbury, in the
employ of Mr. Martin, Shapwick, fell from a rick on
Saturday, fracturing the shoulder and injuring the
spine; he lingered in great agony till Tuesday,
when he expired. It is supposed that the cause of
the fall was a sudden fit of paralysis. Deceased
was 56 years of age, and leaves a large family to

Edwin Edwards, of Houghton, was charged on Monday

night in question, when he was taken into custody by
P.C. Wheeler and left to meditate during the Sunday
following in the lock-up.—He was fined Is., and costa.

Winding-vp of de Great- Western Iron
Company. —A meeting was held at the Brined
Bankruptcy Court on Friday week, before Mr.
Commissioner Hill, for the purpose of appointing
liquidators, and receiving proofs of debts dee from
this company. Mr. Bird, (a chanoem barrister,
from laon), said he appeared on behalf of Messes.
Sad and Co., to make an application to his Honor
to give immediate possession to those gentlemen el
the unfinished works at Seend, and which were now
in an incomplete stets, in consequence of the com-
pany being in course of winding up under an order
lately pronounced by this Court. He said he theta
not have troubled his Honour, but for the extreme
urgency of the cum Not only had the works bees
for some time and now were, totally lladllctive,
but by reason intheir unfinished condition, very
serious lola was being incurred daily by Messrs.
Sari and Co., and so long as the company rusined
undissolved, the directors of it were liable to seem-
ing penalties of XlOO a week. Under these circum-
stances, he thought his Honour would see the
necessity of putting a stop, as .peedily as possible,
to the existing ruinous state of things. The votes
of the contributors to the Company were taken for
the appointment of an official liquidator to act con-
currently with the liquidator appointed by the
Court, and the choice was declared to have fallen
upon Mr. Weaver, of Devima. The meeting we.
then adjourned, principally for the purpose of
affording an opportunity to the Directors of coming
to some arrangement with Messrs. Sari and Co.
