beasts in to..lay's market, and all brweils moved off
steailly, at fully Monday's currency. We were seaaoti-
ably wel: supiaied with sheep, for which the inquiry
ruled eery inactive. Prime Downs and half-breds sold
at full prices; but the value of long.woolled sheep had a
drooping tendency. The few calves in the market

meeting of the members of this society was held at
their reading room on M lay cc g last, • for the
purpose. of receiYing the annual report. and for
electing officers and committee for the ensuing year.
There was a large attendance of members, and the
chair aas occupied by the President, Mr. G. :
Bawler. The report showed that the society was
still in a flourishing condition, and, although no
balance was due LO the society, we are glad to tind
that it is free from debt. This state of alfairs may
be consitlered as highly satisfactory, the society
having been able to meet thu large increase of ex-
penditure which MU rendered necessary by Dui
removal of the society to more commodious premises
in South•street. The President, Vice-l'resident,
and Treasurer were thee re elected, and Mr. C.
Parsons was emanated secretary. The two vacancies
in the committee, caused by the resignation of Mr.
Sheppard and the electi of Mr. Parsons to the
secretaryship, were tilled by the election of hlesers.

DURHAM ELECTIOIC.-13ir William Atherton, the new
Altorney-Oeneral, was elected on Monday for this

appeared to he taken in the proceedings, and the new
member very briefly addressed the electors.
itictusoND &Et-rms.—The election of Mr. Roundell
Palmer for this borough on his recent appointment BR
Solicitor-Geneml was held on Tuesday. Mr. Palmer
was labouring under an attack of gout, and entered the
Townhall supported on the arm of Leonard Cooke, Esq.

Mr. Palmer old that he had accepted office, of course
with eve!), confidence in those under whom he should
serve. Many of them where his own political associates
sod personal friends in put times. Others he had long
watched, and lie was convinced they were actuated by
motives high, pure, and patriotic and that they enter-
tained prinaples the country had reason to approve,
and therefore he had not felt one moment's hesitatiou
in accepting the oimortunity of allying himseU closely
and cordially with them. (Applause.)

' second division. W. 11. P. G. Longt,n, Esq., who for-

SYCRETAIIY or WAR.—We regret to learn that the
rumours respecting the serious illness of Lord Herbert
are but too well founded. From the information that
has reached us, there is unhappily little room to doubt
that the nature of his malady is such is mush eventnally
necessitate his withdrawal from active official life. Thll
intelligence will, we are sure, be received with un-
feigned sorrow by the general public, whom Lord
Herbert has faithfully and efficiently served over a
considerable period of time. Already there have been
discussions respecting his Lordsliii,'s successor, and
Lord Elgin stands prominently among thou with regard
to whom conjectures have been hazarded.

CATTISI'OCK.

At the anniversary of our feast it has been the
custom for many years past to give the poor inhabi-
tants of the 'parish a treat, and we are glad to find
that it is still adhered to. On Tuesday evening last
through the kind liberality of H. E/wes, Es., the
Rev. J. Kingston, and a few other inhabitants,
plum cake and tea were provided for the females,
and bread and cheese and good strong beer for the
males in a field opposite the Fox and Hounds Inn.
A band, provided by Mr. Robinson, of Dorchester,
was in attendance, and greatly enlivened the scene
with sorue popular airs. Flags were inter-
spersed over, different parts of the field, and
some merry peals were rung from the chuseh
bells. After tea, the votaries of terpisebore were
well accommodated, and dancing well kept ap. The
girls ran for ribbons, and the boys for handker-
chiefs, and the woman who made the
most polite curtsey had a cap well trimmed
with ribbons presented to her.—The evening lwiag
fine, a good number of visitors from the neighbour-
ing parishes were present, and all appeared to enjoy
themselves right merrily.

BLINDFORD.

The fortymeventh annual meeting of the Blandford
Auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society
is announced to be held on Thursday the 18th inst.,
at the Towshall. The Rev. J. P. Hewlett, one of
the District Secretaries, will attend as a deputation.
At the present time, when the fundamental truths of
the Christian religion have been so unsparingly
attacked by the professed ministry of our holy
religion, the claims of the British and Foreign Bible
Society, whose operations are extended not only
through the length and breadth of our own land but
almost throughout the world, deserves peculiar
support, standing forth, as it does, a strong bulwark,
round which Christians of all denominations may
rally, and declare, as uith one•united voice, their
continued adherence to the truth, and their determi-
nation to uphold those doctrines which by the
influence of the spirit of God have been made the
means of bringing men out of darkness into the
glorious light of the children of God. We trust that
in this place, as eleswhere, increased interest will be
manifested, and greater support given to this admir-
able society.
RIFLE Cr:msg.—A considerable amount of excite-.
, merit prevailed in this town en Thursday evening
last, it being understood that the newly elected adju-
, taut to the battalion, Coptain Barret, was to inspect
the Rifle Corps, and that the juvenile members of
the fife and drum band were to appear for the first
I time in their new dress. At seven o'clock the corps
—SO rank and file—marched to Mill-down. The
evening being fine, a large number of people had
assembled to witness the inspection. Both hands
were in attendance, and at intervals during the
evening the brass band interested the people with a
fine selection from the operas. At the conclusion of
the inspection the captain expressed himself highly
pleased with their steadinesa at drill and the
intelli-
gence they evinced whilst skirmishing. fie said
they were a creditable body of men, and he was
pleased to see that their arms were in good order.
In conclusion he said " Your country appreciates
your services, and you have done your country good
service in a military as well as a political point of
view."—The corps were much pleased with the cool
and steadiness of manner in which he issued
orders.

WOOL MARKET.

LONDON, July 8. Several parcels of wool have
changed Lands for shipment to prance and Belgium, at
full quotations ; and there is rather wore business doing
in moat kinds, for home consumption. The sum lies on
offer are seasonably good.
Baanrono. July 11.—The sales of wool during last
week at the country market* of York and Doncaster
wen somewha lively, and the prices decidedly firmer.
This firmness does not seem to have infiuenced our
market to any appreciable extent, or to have induced
buyers to large purebams. There is little doing in
English wools, but in such small quantities that the
market may be said to be in • quiescent state from last
Thursday. Colonial and foreign wools are entirely
idogwont, Mit that is nothing unusual before the heavy
July sales.
Hawks, July 6.—We have again hid • better
marked for wool, and prices are very flrm. In some
Instances an advance of Is. or 10s. per nek lin been
obleised, but as • rule wool may be (inland AEU), as last
week's rates.

The Border Adrertieer says :—" The prospects for
the 12th are hitherto very encouraging in this district.
Grouse are abundant, and strong on the wing, no
disease or death having occurred during the breeding
xemson. Within the last few days th.i keeper on the
Gala estate tell.; us that he iISII picked up several old
birds dead from the fatal tape worm. These, however,
are only exceptional cases. Partridges are a plentiful
crop, end already coveys of sixteen or eighteen are to be
seen packed on the neighbouring bill sides On the
Ettrick and Yarrow fells the pine is most plentiful and
seldom have the prospects of sportsmen been MOM
auspicious than they are at present."

then," he said, "I'll shoot myself." He then took up
his gun, which stood in the corner of the hack kitchen,

THE KING'S Cause Muanitn.—Jane Palethorpe was
on Wednesday last, charged at the Central Criminal
Court, with tho wilful murder of her son Thoinas, a
child four years of age. The facts of this distressing
case showed that the prisoner, who lived at King's'
moss, lied beers deserted by her husband, and thus left
with three children dependent for subsistence upon her
unaided effort*. Reduced almost to a state of starva-
tion, it was alleged that she had administered bindarmin
to the children and to herself, and so mused the death
of the deceased. The jury returned a verdict of not
guilty.

WAREHAM.

SILLY HOAX. Some shallow-pated numskull
caused a rumour to be circulated, and that import-
ant and busy official, the crier, cried it through the
town on Saturday, the 6th inst., to the effect that
the Rev. Henry Gibson would give a teetotal lecture
at Wargats on Sunday afternoon. By the time ap-
pointed about 300 persons had assembled, waiting
patiently the arrival of the rev. gentleman. After
waiting some time the truth flashed upon them that
they had been hoaxed. There is no such person as
the Rev. Henry Gibson, and the rumour of the lec-
ture was entirely without foundation. We imagine
that this foolish affair emanated from some one who
is anything but • teetotal or temperate person.

BEAMINSTER.

A rich treat was afforded on Monday evening by
the members of the Beaminster ?Amami Society,
who gave a concert in aid of the organ fund. The
room was filled with a fashionable audience, consist-
ing of the eliiA of the town and neighbourhood. The
prugrannne consisted
of selections from the best
oomposers of both sacred and secular music.
To Mr. J. B. Dunn, the zealous conductor of the
society, too much praise cannot be given for the judg-
ment displayed in the selection, and the excellence
with which, thromsh his active guidance, the
various concerted pieces were performed, but
it was evident the society's forte lies in sacred
music, as was evinced by the delightful performance
of the duett and chorus"l waited for the Lord,"
from Mendelseohn's " Hymn of Praise," which
elicited a well-oarned encore. The selection from
Mozart's 12th mass was also excellently rendered.
Mr. T. Avant performed some pieces, and elicited
the applause of the audience • and the quaint little
piece by S. Heller was re-demanded. We under-
stand the society are going thoroughly into their
work, and we trust the success which has attended
this their first essay, will induce them to continue
(we cannot say 'increase) their exertions, and that
we may often have the pleasure of spending a public
evening with the Beaminster Musical Society.

quality for producing the hardiest and soundest

found re successful than 2 cwt. of Guano, and Ten
LOA(I4 of Farm-yard Manure to the Acre, in the same

At • epecial Petty Sessions held on the Sth init,
before the Hes% Henry Boucher and Colonel Midst,
liam Hart was charged by his wife, a respect-
able looking woman, with assaulting her on the 22nd

with the cramp, and sunk. A lad named Fall,

was passing down Chiswell, he heard &child cry.
It was some time time before he found where it was,
and at last ascertained that it was in the gutter,
near the house of Mr. Winter, struggling in the
mud. It was almost stifled when he pulled it out,
and had it remained • few minutes longer the pro-

child was bete eon two and three years old.

A SAD Disarrourrumaz.—A few days since sa
some persons were excavating for the construction
of Government works at the Bill, they discovered a
yellow shining substance among the stone which
they supposed was gold ore. As might be expected
they were very choice of the supposed precious
metal, and employed the necessary means to dis-
cover its value. To their disappointment they
were informed that the supposed gold ore was noth-
ing but mica, or decomposed granite. It is in
quartz, exactly resembling gold ore, and we under-
stand is regarded as a great novelty in the geology
of the island.

PUBLIC ISCONI AND EIPENDITIAL—A parlia-
mentary return, baited lately, shows the total income
and expenditure each year from 1829 to 1880-61, inclu•
sive, first a. originally estimated, and secondly, an
proved in reality. In the years' from 1829 to 1838,
surpluses were estimated and actually occurred in all
cams but one, the exception being the year 1832, when
• surplus of £493,479 was anticipated, and • deficiency
of £698,857 occurred. In the financial years ending
the sth of April, 1899 to 1842, deficits were anticipated
in the estimates, and in reality proved to be rather
heavier than the estimated amount A considerable
deficit took place in the year ending 1843, though the
estimates for that year showed a aurplus. In the four
sueceeding years, however, there occurred large
surpluses, in no case leas than two maims, and in one
eau (1845) as large as six millions. Some surplus was
estimated in each of theme yearn, but was considerably
under estimated in each instance. In the year ending
1848 a small surplus was looked for, but unexpected
events produced a deficit of no less than throe millions;
in the succeeding year, on the other hand, a large deficit
was celculated on, and • very swell one actually took
The remaining yurs, down to tke year 1857,
show no unexpected results. The five years, 1850 to
1854 inclus;ve, were signalised by surpluses consider-
ably larger than were anticipated; the next three
years by large deficits, which however were anticipated.
In the year ending 1858 a unpins of nearly a
million was estimated; but instead of this a deficit
occurred; in the next two years there were surpluses,
and in 1861 • deficit of two millions.
