quite ruin° up to that; but still, as the Chairman I united
•elt, there were so many prize., that almost everybody,
if they set the right way stout it, would get prizes. There
are two way. of doing things-a right way and • wrong
sway. We wish to encourage the right way of doing
things-the right way of making bread, the right way of
working a garden, the right way of sending children to
sch;ml, the right way of doing needlework. Sometimes
people say-" lout Its so much trnoble - But lam
not quite sure that doing things right is much more
trouble than doing them wrong. At any rate, if a thing
to done at all, it abould be done well, and then
we have sumo reward for uur labour and pains ;
while, if we do it badly, all are thrown away.
There is one class ;;f prizes upon which I wish to say a
few words. Lookin- over the certificates I see we have a
class of reward 4 tor sanding the greatest number of
children and the most regularly to school. I end there
was considerable disparity in tho returns, the worst, I
regret to say, being f num the country, and the best from
the towns. YoU may say that in the country poodle are
so much scattered --children have got so facto go, and in
wet weather it is ; but I know parishell where
the cottages are not far from the school yet I can't Ray
that they are the minuet regular. I am afraid we shall find
that where things are easy, there people take least truul de
abut them. It is not always the case that where the
population is gathered round the church there they are
twat diligent In attending the *orrice of God. Sometimes
we hear of people in the colonies who don't mind going 20
or 30 miles to worship in a church, and I hope the people
of England will not think it hard to send their children
half-a-tulle to attend achool. One raison why I wish to
speak on this subject is because there has been a good deal
id discussion in the House of 1D,11311101111 lately on crew
pulses, education-that is, compelling people to send their
children to school. I am not ashamed to .tend up here
and say I am, as a principle, against compulsion ; I don't
like it; I like the willing heart and the ready hand. Ido
nut mean to say it may not be neecessary ; but what I say
is this-if compulaion is to be brought into this country as
a law, I am sure we ought to be ashamed of it -(applause).
To whou benefit is it that children should go to school,
Their own and the benefit of their fathoms and mothers.
Is it not true that every child sent to a good school and
educated is a comfort and a blessing to his father and
mother ; and is that to be a matter of legal compubdun /
Can it be that parents are so blind to their own interests
and the best interests ;if their children that it is necessary
to pus such a law in this country, at this time of day,
when things are known which were not years before, and
when everybody recognises the advantages of education.
Is A to be said that the English people, with all their
experience and knowledge, should be compelled by law
to send their children to school to get those advantages
and Musings which they could not otherwise get I I do
hope that there is still a feeling in thi" country which
induces fathers end mothers not to neglect that which ia
ea greatly for the advantage of their children as
ta fuze it necessary for the legislature to step in
awl compel them to send their children ti school.
It would be the greatest pride and pleasure to me if
I could stand up in the House of Commona and say
that in Dorset there is no need ruf a law to make parents
Newt their children to school. When I roes in Parliament
this year to oppose resolutions and the introduction of
laws fur tusking education compulsory, and under which
parents would be eubject to flue and perhaps imprison-
ment, I said give them time; there are now excellent
schools in almost every parish-I believe I may Ray nearly
everyone-with good sehoehuasteu and mistresses: there
is utitlCaSluil at the door of every poor man in this went** :
won't he avail I' self id it? Is it to he said that they
are so blind to their own ititere.to awl the interests of
their children that they won't take advantage of it? I
can't believe this of my fellow-countrymen-I can't
believe that they will neglect to do that which is so
manifestly to their advantage and to the advantage of
their children. In towns it is different. There, T fun
sorry to say, a curtain portion of the population are so
lost to all sense of propriety, of duty, awl of decency in
this matter that there the law must stop In as it would to
represe crime, imuittiirtilit), iur drunkenness. But surely,
in • county like thi in s, it unnecessary • fur here, lam
thankful to aay, crime hu at a very low ebb-for a 4
Deputy. Chairman of Quarter Sessions I have constant
occasion to know the state of crime in the counts', and I
believe It will compani favourably with any in England ;
indel I do not believe that any ono can Shure a lower
ratio crime than this useuntTof Dorset. It is altogether
different from the towne. 'Mere, no doubt, it may he
necesaary compulsion should be enacted, but I do hope
and trust that the action of the legislature will not be
necessary here to compel parents CO take advantage
of the education which is now offered to their
children. This bears on the question of rewards for
sending children to school. I believe that in certain
families the attendance id all that can be desired. I hope
that condition of things will be universal, and that the
only difficulty the committee of this society may have
will arise front the numerous attendances at scheml, and
the general avenge being so high, that it may be a hard
task to award the prizes. The education question Is one
that must come often before my mind, as I have bad to
take part in debates in the House of Common,' this year
on the subject ; and, in future Sessions. If it please God
for me to live, awl I discharge toy present duty in Parlia-
ment, I shall no doubt have again opportunities, and fuel
it to be necessary, to take part In such discussions: and,
all I can say is, that if I could look to this county and
say compulsory elucation is unnecessary, it would be
one of the happiest things associated with my Parliamen-
tary life-(lPPlineie).
The Rev. C. W. IhNiolo4 said today they had to lament

In reference to the purchase from the Duchy of the

read letters which have passed. It seems that ori nally
the Duchy reserved 14 or 15 perches of the be on
the Weymouth Road, on which stand the trees, an in
agreeing to sell the northern portion to the Council agreed
not to charge fur that strip, but in calculating the total
quantity of land they included it, making 2a. Or. 40p.

of such doings as those in Clerkenw all, where the balloting,

Wealoyans on always doing what they wished to do, nnbly
and thoroughly, as witness this beautiful chaeel, whirh
they bad nobly raked to the honour of God. Weymouth
was not favourable to Nonconformity and Wesleyanisiu;
there WIIA an influx of those who either belonged to the
Established Church, or were disposed to favour it. But
them were other reasons—we are tempted to be led away
by the spirit of pleasure—and again in no other town in
England was there in 'proportion a larger stall of Church
clergymen, hard working, laborious, energetic, wise to use
every means in their power to advance the growth and pro'
lion of the Established Church. These had adopted
everything they seen good among Diameters —tea-meet-
Inge, and even gone beyond theiu—garden parties (hear).
But he rejoiced to live in a town where they were no
favoured, and he hopol that "out of the nettle danger,
they would pluck the flower safety." for they ought
to be provoked to love and to good worke—(applease).

this there MU a ',Klemm of OW due to the treasurer, the !
neck and back of which he hoped would he broken this
year. In conclusion be urged them to thank Gaul, and

Rev. Mr. Bolton and Rev. Mr. Lewis, had sent notes,
expressing their sympathy, and stating they were unable

Mr. SLADE said tho Gas Company would be very glad to

from the state of the clock tower and the dirt on the dials.

the curb of the footway. with the sides open so as not to
Impede passage along tho footpath.
Mr. fishetv objected to the pillars, and thought a tem-

In answer to • question the Surveyor said it would cost
something leas than .2100.
Mr. KL•DE did not think the design could be carried out
for LIM.
Mr. SLADR intoned to a plan drawn by Mr. Jewett,
when Borough Surveyor, and said he thought that far

Mr. GREGORY propoeed that Mr. Ferny be asked toms

Duchy bad entered into a contract with them to sell the

practically the property of the Council.
The M Avon said he was in favour of offering a premium
for the best plan for laying eitt the fair ground.
The ToWN CLERK said they must first decide what they
wanted in the way of ace modation.
Alderman fluxes salt they hail the plan of Chichester
market before them —which was one of the best in the
colintry, root one of Machin, and lie thought if they got
plans of Gloucester. Isristol, and .dhers, and then obtained
the advice of practical men, they could adapt • plan
themselves, and let their own Surveyor carry it out.
Mr. If (mugs thought the best plan would be a deputa-
tion of the Council to the principal markets, taking the
Surveyor with them.
Mr. Des/smut thought with plans of the principle
markets, aol the advice of the leading dealers and the
auctioneers of the neighbourhood, they could snake the
best arrangements. Ho suggested a committee to carry
it out.
The MAYOR proposed that the Surveyor prepare tracings
of the fair field site with the requirement' of the Council.
and the offering of • premium of 20 guineas for the best
plan.
Dr. ALDRIDGE considered • deputation to visit several
leading markets would bu the best. Rethought Chichester

The Tows Cline sail there was a very good market at
Lewes, and when they were at Chichester it would be •

It was arranged that the Surveyor should precede tho

In reply to Mr. CALPIN, it was said there was a resolution

The Tows CLERK said Mr. Steele had spoken to him on
the subject, and, when he told him of the resolution, he
Kahl he should be equally. willing to take the place fora
term at a ground rent.
Alderman said of course Mr. Steele wished for
security of tenure before laying out money, and they
might meet him in that way.
It was rant that the Council should negotiate with
Mr. Steele for granting him a long lease on fair terms.
THE WENT WALKS.
Reference was made to the rumoured purchase by
Messrs Andrew:sand Pope, for cliente, of that part of the
Duchy land beyond the West Walks up to the Great
Western Railway lying between the Bridport road and

the Town Clerk if he know whether in selling the land
the Duchy had taken cam to carry out their arrangement

Thu Tows CLERK said he did not understand that the
