" Ramage FROM Mg NM BOott" formed the
subject of an interesting lecture, given in connection
with toe Working Men's Club, on Monday se'nnight
by the Rev. W. Barnes, rector of Came. We regretted
to use that the Town-hall was not go well filled as o•
some former occasions whets entertainments have been
given, but probably many were deterred from attending
through the unfavourablenees of the weather. The
Rev. .1. Penny presided, and introduced the lecturer.
The rev, lecturer, after prefacing his subject with a
few remarks on the pleasures to be derrived from • love
of flowera, gave as as his first sketch, • description of
some of the common field flowers, which were often
rejected as weeds, but which, by their beautiful con-
struction and adaptability for the purposes for which they
were designed, thawed in the most striking manner the
wisdom and goodnes of the great Creator. He then
drew attention to the mechanical contrivanceo by which
the various species of plants were propagated, and
by which man had been instructed, particularly
insttecing the seed-vessel of the elm tree
from white the inventor of the screw ship
bad formed his model. Mr. Barnes then adverted to
the doable intention which was manifested in all the
works of nature, instancing that of wheat corn, which
not only wee used for making bread, but also had within
it the germ of the future plant. Man's most skilful
works fell far abort of this. The theory of colour formed
the second sketch. There was, said the lecturer, a greet
likenem between musk and eolour, sod also
between form and colour. The three primary
colour', as all painters knew, were red, blue, and yellow.
Black was not • colour, for it was the loss of all colours,
and white was made up of all the oolours of the rainbow.
Now if they took any two primary token, and mined
them, they would make a secondary colour, and this
combination of two primary colours, and leaving nut the
third, formed what was celled the line of centred.
The colour formed by two primary ones would be
• direct contrast to the on. left out. He then showed
how ladies had as it were • natural pereeption of the
harmony of colour. If they wore • brown dress they
would choose for an article to wear with it a lavender
grey, and as a striking instance how this law of
colour was 'hewn in the work. of nature, Mr. Barnet
handed round • number of the &trying leaves of the
mug-wort, one aide of each leaf being grey and the
other lavender grey. The rev. letterer then referred to
some of the laws of moral nature, remarking that it was
not always the man who did us the immediate wrong
who was the most to blame, but probably on. far re-
moved from us. Thom who owned slaves in the
Southern states of America previous to the war were
not no guilty as the man who first enslaved his fellow
nian—cheers). Mr. Berms concluded his sketches
4 relating some of the curious laws by which
England was governed. He then showed that
it was to the high-born ladies of accent &kith this
country was indebted for the first introduction of
Christenity, and that there was every reason to
conclude that the Claudia mentioned by St. Paol in
his second epistle to Timothy married the of the Kingc
of ancknt Britain, named Paden& —At the request of
the Chairmen, Mr. Barns' thee reed several pieties
from his published and unpublished writings ; including.
"The Bells of Old Derbenham" "Uncle, out of debt
and out of danger." "Tbe Roes to deck her breast."
"Rough Moody Grim." 'The mother's dream of her
dying boy," and one or two pieces for the youthful
portion of his auditory. —At the ermobssion the chair-
man, in the the name of the audience, thanked the
lecturer for his visit, and Mr. Barnes having acknow-
ledged the same, the meeting separated.

Iteration to ps7 El in two months. This the plaintiff

having given • brief outline of themes, plaintiff said
that on 18th Month be had omission to go to Donsbeeter
with Mr. Hood to meet Mr. Moore h 6 solicitor. He
asked Mr. Hood to hire a bores and 'trap, sad afterwards
Mr. Hood came into his shop and said he bed liked one

he again saw Mr. Hood, who told him the defendant

mouth, and they could ride with him. They went
together.—ln answer to his Honour, plaintiff said be
supposed that he paid shout 4e. on defendant's amount.
—Mr. Hood, sic., having explained the ciroumstanees
under which the parties went to Dorchester, sad the
amount of expenses incurred, his Honour remarked
that with the question as to the hiring of defendant's
horse and cart he hod nothing to do, that must be left
with the egoism. The charge of 116, for thins, of the
ce,iveyanee to and from Dorehester was be believed a
fair one, and this, with the other expenses incurred,
would amount to 26. 6d., *Web divided by 3 would be
7s. 6d. each, exactly the same amount as was claimed
by the plaintiff. Such • plaint ought never to have
' been brought before that court. The verdiot would be
for the defendant, without omits.
