Wednesday morning. William Butler, one of his sons,
attempted to destroy himself by • shot In the head

by Brewer this year, kept in • dusky body on the left of
the full grown ones, whisk are of the purest white. A few
had gathered and fed the birds with pipers if bread, giving
occasion for some pretty eieilornin4 races, and a bicker or

PIPAPOSILD OUTFALL WOILIUL

A deputation had gone trim the (liners' Purposes '
Gimmittee to Mr. Heriot, with the view of getting • site
for sewage outfall works. The strips of land selected are '
tem. to Loud's-road, but objections of various kinds '
applied to the different sites.
Mr. liuwr said the tanks were proposed to be built in
a perfect swamp. Going down there, they were getting
very near Syward L-sige, and Mr. Slanders said it would
be very injurious to his estate if sewage Nitta' works
are made there, and he should oppose it to the utmost of
his power.
The Tows Ctsits had seen the works at Coventry,
where the stuff came down all colours of the rainbow, but,
except at a portion of the treatment, there was not the
slightest nuisance from the works.
The Surveyor believed there would not be the &lightest
nuisance from their works.
Mr. Alderman Giu.no moved that the report be referred
for further consideration t but that the General Purim's*
Committee be requested to consider what provision may
be made for the urgent requirements of the Cornwall
Eitate.—The word "temporary" was first used in the
resolution, but this was objected to.
Mr. Bcs..errr : The brewery was drained fast enough.
Ho seconded the proposition, which was carried.
, Mr. Alderman GAVIN remarked on the small attend-
ance the Council obtained when such an important ques-
tion was discussed. Of what use was it to come there and
adopt measures, which others might afterwards come and
unset . . .

Very soon after the meeting dissolved by the irradual
retirement of the members, reducing the Council below
the numbers necessary for a quorum, and in two minutes
more only the Mayor and officers remained.

Sir,—The following appears in the bored Couney
Chronicle of the 3rd indent :

A petition against the appointment of Roman Catholics
to snw.h °Mau aa that of Vicer yo( India has been signed
I.y the Mayor and other influential townsmen."

I was under the impression that displays of intoler-
' ance of this kind were only made by persona of little
education and great bigotry, or resorted to by a oertain
clique of insignificant legislators for the real purpose
..f parliamentary obstruction. What is done by the
I Itter, I believe, is n-,t a theme frr particular lamen-
tation. The too prominent appearance of the cloven
' fo ,t burlesques the performance, which is perhaps
enjoyed as much by the actors as by the spectators.
I The weapons of political warfare must not always be
t,o critically examined, although one would have
thought that even modern Tor (about the most
wretched compound of that name ever offered to the
I public in this generation) would not have been so
completely at its wits' ends. to have to resort to the
laughable old "no Popery" cry. When, however, a
quiet little place like Dorchester, where theological
wars never rage, and where spiritual teachers live
harmoniously together, joins the ranks of religious
persecutors, it shows that the fire which in the far off
yesterday consecrated the martyr's faith is still kept
smouldering by narrow prejudice and fanatical ignor.

CONSERVATIVE EXPLANATION OF THE

REACTION.

We must remember that in many English country
towns what was formerly done for a Conservative
member by the surrounding families he has now in
great measure to do for himself. Many of my readers
no doubt isnnember well the gay and bustling appear-
ance presented by the old market town in the days,
say forty ye.ors ago, when it was habitually frequented
by the neighbouring gentry for objects of both business
and plemmre. The streets and inn-yards were
thronged with their carriages and servants. The shops
were filled with ladies who b sught their dresses, their
furniture, and their household supplies almost
exclusively from the local tradesmen. T e owner of
the business, whatever it might be, the draper, the
hosier, the ironmonger, was there to receive them in
full suit of black, with spotless shirt frill and cravat.
The gentlemen met in the reading-room or lunched
together at the 'George" or the "Crown.' After
meetings on public business' they occasionally dined at
their hotel. They and their families in short were a
part of the life of the place, eagerly looked for and
welcome I, and mainly conducive to its prosperity.
What a contrast it presents now 1 The carriages
and horses are no longer ts be seen in the high-street,
for the ladies do their shopping elsewhere, and the
squire or Sir John comes in and goes out again by
train. The character of the shops themselves has
entirely changed. Their principal customers are
farmers, for the " Hall" or the " House" is supplied
from a London store. And the same may be said of
the inns, very few of which still retain any of their old
importance, of rely on any other guests than farmers
and comm..' Cal travellers'. The aristocratic element,
in fact, is withdrawn from the place, and the Con-
servative be rough member who represents that element
Is left to fight his own battle against antagonistic local
influences, which, as we have seen, are often too strong
for him.—Nisartslli Crstury.

fait lieb. . Ofsbornia Death
Was announced to the inhabitants by the tolling bell
on Friday morning. Mr. Osborne's degrees were—St,
John's College, Cambridge, B.A. (Jun. Opt.) 1839,
M. k. 1642, Deacon 1839 by the Bishop of Lincoln for
the Bishop of Beth and Wells, pried 1840 by Bishop
of Bath and Wells. In 1842 Mr. Osborne was curate
of Melkshana, and from 1843 to 1872 was chaplain of
Bath Gaol, in which capacity he was most efficient,
and he wrote • useful work on gaol management. In
1872 73 he had charge of Christ Church, Trent Park,
K Barnet, and in the letter year he was appointed by
the Rev. Henry Monis to the vicarage of West
Fordington, in succession to the Rev. C. J. Bird,
who seceded from the Church of England,
and went to Clifton. Mr. Osborne held purely
Evangelical views, end was much esteemed.
He held, in addition to West Fordington, the
military chaplaincy of this garrison town, and
was popular among the soldiers as well as the general
inhabitants, especially the poor. His manner was
original, and he would occasionally make remarks
quite unexpected, but which were possibly all the
more likely to attract attention. Some time ago he
lost heavily by the West of England Bank failure,
became in weak health, and was conveyed about in •
wheel chair, but from this he seemed to have re-
covered, and was able not only to perform his church
duties but also to take interest in
" polaka," for he nominated an
ted Colonel Oldketrisat
guardian. At the school, West Fordington, he with
Miss Osborne was ever energetic, and inhebitants of
all parts of Dorchester will remember his livelinest
when presiding at the entertainments there. Bo well
did the aged vicar keep his health until quite lately
that he was present at the firing of the lea de Joie by
, the troops on the Queen's birthday. His sudden
' attack was the more startling; but the parishioners
indulged the hope he might recover and snared to
them yet longer' but in about five days he pawed
away, as Mated above. The "living," if such it may
be called, was first held by the Rev. Mr. Handley.
It is said by " Crockford" to be in the petronage of
the Vicar of Fordington ; but there is a doubt whether
this is so, or whether the patronage was not surren-
dered by the Rev. Henry Mottle. The value is stated
at £B3 per annum; but in Crockford it is estimated
it be £BO and house. Mr. Osborne leaves • widow
and daughter at the vicarage.

The Emperor is very deeply affected by the death of the

widowed husb.nd of the late Princess Alice. The
Czarewitch had visited the Court of Prussia and many
of the minor Courts "(North Germany, not only in
search of health but air, in quest of a wife, when,
either by chance or desi he visited Darmstadt, id

of age. The young man was evidently eimmewrod of
the juvenile Princess, and in spite of the protestations
and objections of his circle, on the 28th of April. 1841,
the young people were united with not only the
consent, but also the approbation of the Czar. Under

The Committee met on the 3lat May, and they stated
that the iaat quarter extra expenses amounting to Lth7
Oa 81. had been incurred in loans, rent, rates, and sewers
accounts, and those account, without the previous
knowledge of the Finance Committee, II required by the
general resolution of tbe Board in reference to expenioi
exceeding the several eatimates. The Finance Committee
recommended that in future refreshments be not supplied

where, a special charge being made by the chief constable

A certificate wee received from Mr. Birch that Mews.
Berghim and and Co., the contractors for the pier, had
delivered $.500 worth of material. on which they were
entitled to 80 per cent
The Bev. J. R. PILETTNAN said he thought there was a
resolution to the effect that thaw, should be no expense
without the knowledge of the Finance Committee, but it
algred that was a dead letter.
CllO.l said the reason the payments were made, he
supposed, was that they were rec iminended by the com-
mittee and sanctioned by the Board. With regard to the
work in respect of which those payments were made, he
presumed the commissioners in giving orders must have
overlooked the resolution which required that no extra
expenditure should be incurred without the previous sanc-
tion of the Board.
The Rev. Purdue gave notice of motion for next
meeting that any excess of expenditure recommended by
any committee be previously brought before the Fitton°,
Committee, to order that they might be enabled to report
to the Bard On the Propriety of such excess of expendi-
ture, and that no officer of the Board be permitted to 111Clar
any expenditure without the previous consent of the
B ,ard. and in cue of

A MYSTERY-THE ATLLANTA FOLLOWED.

The &Otos &MU. says :—" We have special infor-
mation from an authentic source that so long ago as the 4th
May • sailor of the mercantile marine, whose name is
known, and who hae been some time in Newhaven and
Brighton, communicated direct to the Admiralty full
particulars, or at least the means of obtaining the full
particulars, and giving the reason why he was unable or
afraid to come forward in the matter himself. This
communicat,on seems to have been ignored, and on the
12th or 13th he wrote again, saying he knew what certain
parties were making out of the retention of the facts, and
that he thought it wrong they should be longer withheld.
This was again Ignored; but the next day or so the
Admiralty sent • letter for insertion in the daily papers,
saying that they thought all hope of the Atalanta mast
now be abandoned The journal suggests that the offer
of • reward was probably made with the view of inducing
the man to come forward, but the SIIIMA influence which
prevented his coming forward in the first instance will
probably have the same effect now. The Gasette concludes
that during the present week certain not obscure cictr,
bath in Brighton and London, have had in their
chart ' lined' and marked with minute details of the
Atalanta, at a date since any official or any other infor-
mation can be obtained of her, or is ever likely to be

THE BURIALS BILL.

On Wednesday, ha consecrating s church at
Oldham, the Bishop of MtnChester sad he would vote
for the Burials' Bill. It would settle a heart-burning
question; the Bill ought to be acceptable to Church-
men and Nonconformists. and would be acceptable
except to that small political mid who wish for the
diseetablislunent and dimendownment of the ohurch.
The Bill of Mr. Gratham, Mr. Freshfield, and Mr.
Mark Stewart, issued on Wednesday, enacts
that if new burial ground be not provided within
twelvemonths, and there is no unconsecrated ground
within two miles, interments may take plsoe in the
pariah churchyard, with such christian orderly service
as deceased's Mends prefer.
