Tlir AUTLIUN EVENING.

Behold the we-teru evelsinl light !
• It issilts in eve ii ill ;
S.. cahialy Cliri,tions sink away
Descending to the tomb.

The winds breathe low; the withering leaf
Scarce whispers from the tree;
So gently glows the parting breath
When good men cease to be.
How beautiful on all tho hills
The crimson light is shad!
'Tie like the pesce the Christian gives -
To mourners round his bed.
How mildly on the wandering cloud
The sunset beam is cast !
'Tis like the memory left behind
When lovud ones breathe their last.
And now above the dews of night,
The yellow star appears ;
So faith springs in the hearts of those
Whose eyes are dimmed with tears.
But soon the morning's happier light,
Its glory shall restore ;
Ant evelidA that are scaled in death
Shall wake to close no inure.

BLANDFORD.

THE ACCIDENT AT Tull DORCHISTIR REVIEW.—
The sum 0f.17 has been collectedamong the members
of the Blandford corp to assist their companion—
Mr. Park—who unfortunately met with an accident
at the late review at Dorchester.
DIISSIONS TO THE ROMAN CATHOLICS IN IRILAIVD.
—A meeting on behalf of the objects of this society
was held on Tuesday, the 13th inst. The atten-
dance was small, showing that in these missions there
is generally very little interest taken. The Rev. W.
Harte occuried the chair, and amongst those
present were i—SiFJ. D'Oyley, Bart., Colonel Todd,
Hon. F. Stuart, Rev. E. Stuart, Rev. J. O'Neill,
Rev. Moss King. &c. Speeches regarding the
operations of the society and the general state of
Christianity in Ireland were delivered by the Chair-
man and other gentlemen. The Rev. B. Hill,
M.A., Incumbent of St. Paul's, Tiverton, was
present as a deputation from the society, and spoke
very earnestly on its behalf.
The battalion drill, which it was some time ago
announced would take place at Blandford, but
which was contradicted in several of the district
papers, will, however, take place—the 21st being
the clay appointed, when we have no doubt our
town will be all alive, and should the weather prove
favourable, those who feel an interest in our Volun-
teer corms, (and who does not?) will have an oppor-
tunity of witnessing the various important manceu-
vree connected with battalion drill. Four com-
panies are expected to be present—the Wimbonie,
Wareham, Poole, and Blandford. They will minter
in the Market-place about 11 o'clock, and march to
Mill DOIVO, which, from its close proximity to the
town, is well adapted for the purpose. Mr. Lewis,
of the King's Arms Hotel, will prepare an ordinary
on the occasion, and we have no doubt it will be
largely patronized, his well-known excellent catering
giving full assura-ce that all necessary "creature
comforts" will be liberally supplied.
PUBLIC ORATIOX.-012 Thursday, the 29th inst.,
the celebrated lecturer, John de Frame, is expected
to deliver a lecture in the Town-hall, subject—" Our
young men and our young women." From various
reports of this gentleman's lectures, we have no
doubt that those who may patronize him will find
their time well spent.
CORONILK'S INQUzsT.—An inquest was on
Tuesday held at the Antelope Inn, before W. H.
Atkinson, Esq., on the body of Jane Potter, an
old woman about 80 years of age. It appeared
that the damaged wee in the receipt of parish relief
and occupied a room in the house of William
Coward, whose granddaughter used to run on errands
for her. At ten o'clock on the previous day, the
little girl fetched deceased a "ha'porth o'nickeys,"
and two hours and a half afterwards, when she again
went to deceased's room, she saw her lying on the
floor against the fire-place. Her looks frightened
her, and she ran down stairs to her grandmother.
Mr. Spooner, surgeon, was sent for, and his opinion
was that demised had died of disease of the heart.
The jury returned a verdict of" Died by the visita-
tion of Clod."

CHARMINSTER.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday evening, about
5 o'clock, a fearful accident occurred to a person
named John Rolls, groom to R. Devenish, Esq.,
thereby causing his death. It appears ho was
exercising a horse which Mr. Devenish intended
to run at the ensuing Weymouth races. Several
hurdles bad been jumped' and Mr. Devenish stated
they could now take the horse to the stable, when
deceased said be would have another run round the
geld. As soon as be mounted the animal
started off at the top of its speed, and
went so close to a tree that the deceased,
in swaying on one side, bad his head dashed
. against it with such violence as to fracture his
skull. He was conveyed home, and Mr. Tapp,
surgeon, and another medical gentleman from Dor-
chester, were obtained as'quickly as possible, but he
died in about an hour and a half. He has left a
widow and three children tç, mourn his loss. Sin-
gular to state, the bone was not hurt. An inquest
was held on the body on the following afternoon,
before Giles Symonds, Esq., coroner, when the jury
returned a verdict of "Accidental Death."

Butt-mien, Thursday. -There hare been more
inquiries this morning, hut few hilyerx. and the market
must he reported as wonting in animation. The dull
trade done is at abont the some price es last week ; if
an• alteration, the buyer has the benefit. Staplers are

cases hesdate to allow • trifle to secure • large trans-
action. The impetus given two or three weeks since
by considerable purehasen for export. has subsided, the
sales having canoed. The Kirtningham Wool Sales,

SHAFTESBURY.

The good town of Shaftesbury will be the scene of
a very interesting gathering during the present
week, and to those who feel interested in Archeo-
leg), and Natural History, an excellent opportunity
will be afforded, not only of seeing the various
places in the neighbourhood, but also with becoming
acquainted with many subjects deeply interesting
and instructive—the Wiltshire Archeological and
Natural History Society holding their annual
congress, which, commencing with a general meeting
on Wednesday at the TownbaU, will continue its
course of meetings and excursions the two following
days. The Right Hon. I'. H. S. Estcourt, M.P.,
D.C.L., will preside at the general meeting, and
deliver the opening address. A paper on "The
Early History of Shaftesbury" is announced by the
Rev. J. J. Reynolds. The attention of the society
will then be directed to objects of interest in and
near the town. The anniversary dinner will take
place at the Grosvenor Arms Hotel, at five o'clock.
There will be a oonveresione at seven in the Town.
hall, when papers will be read by Alfred Seymour,
I Esq.. on " Wardour Cantle," and by the Rev.
W. H. Jones, on "The Wiltshire Possessions of the
Abbess of Shaftesbury." On Thursday, there will
be an excursion to Wardour House and Old Castle,
to Tishury Church and Place Farm, returning by
way of Hatch to Shaftesbury. There will be a
conversazione at half-past seven, in the Townhall,
when papers will be read by the Rev. W. C. Luke,
on " Cromlechs." and by W. Cunnington, Esq.,
F.G.8.. on "Pen Pita." On Friday, the Archie°.
Inuits will visit Mere, Woodlaads, Stourbead,
Stourton, Pen Pits, and Gillingham. A temporary
museum will be formed at the Townhall. We have
no doubt that under such an able president, and
with such an intellectual bill of fare, the visitors will
find time pass away on rapid wings.

TSB MOAT OF D ie,fries Courier, in re•
porting the sale of the lauds of Milton or Stapend of
Urr, says :—" That the beautiful Moat of Urr, the
largest and beat in preservation of any similar ancient
moat in Scotland, is situated on the property ; and in
ages long ago was the principal place in Galloway where
Justice was dispensed by the ancient kings of the pro-
vince. The lands also peace • traditional interest froin
the following circumstance. King Robert Brace, during
his early struggles for the throne, encountered • body of
English forces from Buittle Castle near the moat, The
Southrons were defeated, and after a personal conflict
their leader, Sir Walter Selby, was taken prisoner by
Bruce. The lands were then occupied by • person
named Sprotte, whose wife provided water to wash the
blood from Bruce and his prisoner, and invited them
into the cottage. The King had taken no food for nearly
two days, end he asked if the woman could give them
anything to eat. She avid she bad nothing but oatmeal,
and would nicks a cog (a wooder. dish) of brow, which
she did. The King asked what reward she would have,
when she replied, in much of the land her husband
occupied as she could run round while the bruse was
being eaten. The request was agreed to by the King,
and she, killing up her dress, darted off at full xpeed.
The brose was scalding hot, and the woman only left
:n e spoon, an that by the time the dish was emptied,
and the King and Sir Walter hal gone outaito the
cottage, the woman with agde speed, had made the
circuit of nearly the farm. The Sprottes held the
property for many generations. The tenure was • dish
of buttered brae presented to the King when he visited
the neighbourhood. Should our beloved Sovereign, on
her next visit to the Green Isle, pass through Galloway,
she would be entitled to demand from the superior of
the lands • dish of battered brow."

Tics? DISEDB.-11ALANCK SIIRETB.—A question of
much importance has been raised—whether the debtor
who registers wider the trust deed clause is not to be
required to fide a balsnceeheut. It may otherwise
happen that, as heretofore, debtor* who could pay 20e,
in the pound escape with a composition of one-third the
amount, beuause creditors cannot afford the time for
going into list eleleemte investigation of accounts
which could alone exhibit the actual capacity of the
debtor to u. 14 tigagementa. If every debtor were
required to file a balance-sheet—and no honest debtor
can object to this course—the creditors would at once
have the lateens of precisely ascertaining the state of
affairs "as between themselves and the debtor, and
against third panuma."— The Gazette of Dant:wig%

POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

At a meeting of the Council of the Lancashire Re-
formere Union, held in Manchester on Tuesday night,
delegates were nominated to represent the democracy of
Leeds. Among those appointed were Messrs Thomas
Baxley, 31. P., Thomas Barnes, M.P., and Sir E.
Armitage.
Mr. Edmund Potter, the chairman of the Manchester
Chamber of Commerce, has offered himself as a can-
didate for the representation of Carlisle. On Monday
night be addressed a meeting of the Liberal electors of
the Cumbrian city, and net, although a stranger to
them, with an enthusiastic reception. In the course of
• long speed' he made sonic sensible remark son the present
A merican complications, cud the duty of respecting the
blockade at all costs. There are many people, we need
not say, who entertain no very exalted ideas of Man-
chester morality. If Mr. Potter may be regarded as
representing the opinions of his fellow citizens on this
question, the Manchester ethical 110111110 Unlit be admitted
to be sound. No city in the empire is so much
dependent upon a supply of cotton for its very life,
and a Manchester man tells us that this article would
be purchased too dear at the expense of the national
honour. Mr. Hodgson, who represented the borough
from 1857 to 1859, is spoken of for the Conservative
I interest.
Mr. Morrison, the Liberal candidate for the repre-
sentation of Plymouth, has been returned by • large
majority. Previous to the polling day it was antici-
pated that the contest would be as close as it was keen,
but by usid-day the battle was virtually ended. At
three o'clock Morrison•was 223 ahead of his antagonist,
bat at the close of the poll the majority was decreased
to 199.

has been a lull in the demand from the home trade, but
the inquiry for 'Epode to the States still continues ;

Difference betneen

To PREVIINT THE POTATO DI . At a meeting
of the Holley and South Hants Farmen• Club, a fort•
night since Mr. /Ares, the sculptor of Sir Isaac Watt's
statue at Southampton, was introduced to bring before
the club an account oisome experiments be had made
on the growth of potatoes, with the view of preventing
disease, fie said that in a rotbm potato might be found
some of the wom kings of the great law of nature. The
disease was caused by an excess of damp, which pre-
vented the maturing of starch in the tuber. Ten years
ago, at Otterbourne, he endeavoured to prevent such an
excess of moisture; it was on a clay and that he first
tried the experiment; it was simple, and for ten seams-
siveyears it had been effectual. Instead of digging •
trench to put in the tubers, the ground was manured—
too much manure would bring too much green and too
little tuber—stable litter was put on the top of the
ground ; on the top of the litter the whole potatoes
were placed, 18 inches apart between the sets, and the
same distance between the rows. The first hoeing
between covered the seed ; another hoeing removed as
much of the soil from the bottom to the top that effici-
ent drainage was the result; and where he had treated
land in this manner, either on the clay land of the
garden at Otterbonrne, or on the bog lie occupied at
Chilworth, he never had a rotten potato, while from
some of the whole potatoes he planted, the result was
at least the produce of one gallon. This having been his
experience it gave him much pleasure to communicate
it to a club which had at heart the advantage of the
country. The process was very simple ; tin science or
*kill was required; and it was within all their oppor-
tunities to try the experiment. The epidemic in the
potato first Aron from the great exam of moisture ;
his experiments had been made with • view to counter-
act it. In reply to nembers he said the potatoes might
be ploughed instead of hood, the rows being 18 inches
apart. After • discussion on what Mr. Lucas had tom-
menicated, the following resolution was unanimously
carried :--" That it is the opinion of this meeting that
the mode of planting potatoesailopted by the introducer,
Mr. Lucas, via., that of placing the seed in a row on the
enrfaee pnwiously manured, and then covering them by
the hoe or the plough, with the view of preventing an
exams* of moisture amid the Manifestation of the disease,
is reasonable in itself, and well worthy the attention anal
experiment of the club."
How TO PIIZSERVII GAN Z.—Tlie Sport gives the fol-
lowing receipt for keeping game a long time. Dry up
the wound with blotting paper : wrap up the head • and
soak the body in coffee. Afterwards the game will not
suffer from the most unfavourable temperature.
