It is scarcely possible to believe that any
Mall iii his right sepses. could, with the Queen's
Speech and th it uf the Emperor's befnre
and in the Caine paper in which his effusions are
inade public, Write such (Rosh ; and it is still
..nare remarkable that the inhabitants of Dorset
should go on from week to week allowing such
a production to disgrace the well-known literary
talent and good sense of the county. The fact
is, that a large gratuitous circulation leas for
litany years been the maxim of the rhronirb.,
and we have often had bi say that " a thing which
costa nothing is worth nothing," and although it
inmy be said that it can make no difference to any
but the proprietors bow many papers are given
%way, it will be found that when such articles
:as the one which has called forth these few re-
narks are brought before men or little talent,
!hey are likely to lead them astray ; and such
Alen, after repeated doses f • the saute labora-
tory, become similar to the Chinese opium eaters.
mad believe that it does them no harm. Now
when a little intelligent schoolboy reads such
articles RI these, he sees at once that they are
nankrupt of common sense ; and that, if it be a
sample of good English, all his master may
nave taught hint is wrong, and he will have
to begin his studies again, and on a different
'lan. before he will be able te read and under-
stand the Dorset Ch• %snick.
