LOCAL EXAMINATIONS IN MUSIC.—..The Rev. T.
Russel-Wright, the hon. local secretary for the Dor-
chester ceatre, writes as follows :—" The authorities
of Trinity College, London, having just decided to
revise their regulations with • view to still further
extending the musical operations of the College, I
should be glad to call the attention of your numerous
readers to the advantages now offered by its Local
Examinations in Elementary Musical Knowledge,
which are by far the most extensive and important of
any bell in the country. The national prizes, which
will be awarded this year, as usual, by Sir Julius
Benedict, are to be four in number—namely, a first
prize of £5, and a Decal(' prize of £3, In each of the
two divisions, 'senior and junior. Tome prizes will be
open to all, including the candidates from this centre;
and, in ad lition, local prizes may be awarded on the
regalia of these examinations to the hest candidates in
our own centre. I shall be glad if those interested in
ths spread of sound musical education will encourage
and Cater local taunt and industry by offering small
local prizes', ranging from ss. to a guinea. This has
been done in many other local centres throughout the
country with excellent results, and the Academical
Board of London have kindly undertaken t adjudi-
cate all such local prizes, without any further fee,
upon the work of the new annual examination in June.
I will not encroach upon your space by giving any
further particulars h-re ; but if any of your
readers shoal I wish for full information I shall be
very pleasei to give it, if they will write to me. I
will only aid that, although the unprecedented number

His Honour rem sited it was • very painful matter for him

present, where two highly respectable men were concerned,
and in which there was • conflict of evidence. because it
might appear his decsion, which ever side it might b..,
reflected upon the tatimony of the party ; but there could
be no such reflection in this caws as everyone was liable to
be mistaken with respet to post conversation and past
event& Hie attenton had been called to a number of
letters in the case, and in them there could not be a
mistake. The question was S. ti whether the defendant
ever gave notice of his intention to give up the land. There
had been a eerie. of bad years, ans for some time thee
had been a great desire on the part of some of the farmers
who were much tried to get ril of the land. There
was no doubt there was • motive for the defendant
to give up hi• laud, but did he actually terminats his
agreement. The evidenc i that the notice had hem given
was not supported by Mr. Mantuan, jun., as etrantlT as
he expected it would be. But there was one ohjection
which was fatal to Use missend that was that the plaintiff
had sued before the rent was due, payment being yearly,
and not half-yearly. His decision mug: be for the defen•
dent, on the ground that it was an immature action. At
the same time the defendant's tenancy still continued.
A RAT CATCHING COL—John 'lawful:is, a professional
rat catcher, sued Capt. Mount-Battsu for X 1 Os. for catn-
ips rata and dressing barns on hie premises—Plaintiff
said be was to receive 3d. for each rat killed. He had
received money on account.—Cliipt Mount-Batten had three
tr four objections, that tne rata had not been properly
cleared off hit premises in accordance with the contract;
that the price was to be W. per rat, and that he bad no
proof that the plaintiff had killed the number he had
stated. A lame number of the rata had ben killed en
another man's ii—His Honour gave a verdict for
the plaintiff to. 10d.

ant, Mr. Stephen Vine, corn merchant, of Dorchester, is
the execution creditor—Mr. Gundry appeared for the al
of salebelders, and Mr. It. N. Howard for Mr. Vine.—
The plaintiff is residing at Netherleurv, and the defend-
ant of the original action is damea Brake, his son. It
appeared from the opening statement of Mr. Gandry that
the father had been in the habit of helping his
son to a considerable extent, until at length he found
that in Justice to himself, and his family, be felt it
neommary to call upon him to give some security which
wee given. As the son bat no real property, he gave him
a m irtgage upon his chattels and goods which he had
about lus premises, and be went further and gave him a
mortgage upon any further acquired property either there

and .f. E. Robeus, Esq., Eliza Dunn and Eliza
Denning appeared, the former charged with assault-
ing the latter, and appearing with a babe in arms.- -
Complainant said she lived in "Chaply-Flay" street,
and defendant in Havelock-court. Last Saturday
defendant accused her of having thrown water over her
child, and complainant admitted having" sprayed"
some water which went over the child. Some people
were throwing gravel over her and a foolish boy over
a wall, and she sprayed back some water out of a
colander to frighten them. Defendant tried to get her
to fight, and scratched her, when complainant used •
brush. and managed to defend herself. Defendant
leaped at her like a tiger; but Mrs. Denning did not
strike her, because she was too tall; she could not get
at her. (Laughter.)—Ellen Fowler, who lives in the
other part of the don le house with Mrs. Denning,
spoke to the details of the fight, in which there was a
great deal of "she flew,. and Mrs. Fowler's brush,

grievance consisted of • bucketful of clean water being

THE HARBOUR BRIDGE.

This bridge was successfully opened to foot passengers
in general on Saturday last, as anticipated, although it
was understood the throwing open to vehicles would not
be universal until Monday. The first vehicle allowed to
crone was the carriage of the sole freeman of the borough,
W. Eliot, Esq., who was one of the wardens in the mas sic
ceremony at the laying of the foundation stone of the
bridge, and who is now the oldest subscribing Freemason
in the world. Taking into consideration also, the various
offices which Mr. Eliot lass so lone bald in the borough, it
will be felt that • very suitsble distinction was acknow-
ledged in allowing him. with his family to be first t MU
on Saturday &Item on. Standing in the middle of the
improved bridge, one is at once struck with the improve-
ment in the appearance, owing to the lowering of the
middle allowing the full elect of the widening to be seen.
This lowering was about 5 feet IS Mills of total height,
while the widening has been such as to allow two vehicles
to Pam each other with ease, the bridge being now as wide ,
as some parts of St. Mary-street, whereas before the
improvement, vehicles often had hi wait, being unable to
get across the narrow part if one was already there. The
approechee also are immensely improved, two girders
having be-n laid across the angles, and thus as much
width has been gained as was compatible with safety to
the structure ; the old newel' are carried on juin girders,
and sp -cist castings anchored beck in a mass of concrete,
which given • footway, so that persons caul, INWO- instead
of being in danger, as previously of slipping down.
Mes.re Aedrew Windyside and Co., of Derby, have
executed the Jenne.): k. and this firm is stated to be nearly
the first builders of this close of bridge in the world, while
the works have been carried out by one of their engineers
who is c innected with the firm of Severn,, and the
practical Sting has been done be one of their leading
fitters, named Monads, (an old Derbyshire name), who
has bad full charge of the °whiners,. The contraeto,, it .
is needless almost to my, is Mr. J. T. Whettam, of Wog
-
mouth, while Kr. Matheson, the engineer, and Kr. W. El.
Morgan, the borough surveyor, wore p.monally see no ti e
fin shine touches applied. Pursing to the detail., it is
noted the pavement le of Castle-lin stone, with a Ede too
curb and gutter, and the flooring consists of Guernsey
granite pitcbere and wood paving run with bitumen and
pitch, the Guernsey pitchers being on the tail-end of the
Irwing, which is else ballasted with concrete; the wood
pitchers from 'heir lighten's and durability being used
for the portion swung over the harbour. While the bridge
has been calculated to be at equilibrium as it stands on its
tonere, yet edditional &sty has been ensured by Its centre
being placed further beck than the point of overturning,
so that there is no fear of any rupees. It runs without
pressure, and we understand that, although the swing is
wider and heevier In construction than the old, it is calcu-
lated there is pot very much greater weight on the south
Pier than by the former one, as it was necessary in lower-
ing it to remove an entire course of masonry and • portion
of another, and to sink a well It feet in diameter end 3
feet deep, so as to give the men moose to the
w
gear, for oiling and other purpose.. The bridge is revolved
on 34 rollers, four of which are not in use, as they
psis openings which are intended for the removal of
foam's for capsize. A ono - hole is the dentre
of the bridge gives, approach to the gear, sad two flaps are
over this per, W h bC4 is of very curious imerre.and

being new, four men oan at the present time, now the
mum are gritty, ones lii. about • minuted and it is
anticipated that by-mad-by it can be opened on a fair
day by two men. There are four spindles, two of which
ire to open the swing slowly when less strength can be
applied, and two to open it quickly when more power can
be used, all 4 the swing sea be opened either up the

the denominotion for his nntiring efforts, not on y in
Lb. particular work of erecting his new church, but in
the canoe of • 'ortireg.ttoosluon generally.
The church is iu the gvautetrical dou..r.ated sty'r, and

It has been b tilt to Mild 803, and m.r. then that

bears the inscription --"In memory of George oni

The new chapel is so abundantly windoae 1 that it is
