BRIDPORT.

THZ BAPTIST CHURCH.—The resident pastor, Rev.
R. Fran. is, in e -meetly pushing forward extensive
alters ions at his church. in Char Vs Me.sd. which, for
Isom- time, has appeared to be in aad need of repair.
We are informed th ,t the building will he .ntirely
re-seated, the schoolrooms stuccoed, and many other
nece.aary improvements are to be made. Tne
B ptiats of Bridport and neighbourhood are joining
the indefatigable past r in his .abours of love and it is
hoped that various appeals for financial support are
not being made in vain, as Mr. Francis is most desirous
that the improvements will not involve thn church in
debt. Durng the time of alteration, the Sabbath
services will be held in the Town H.R. which has been
kindly granted for the purpose.
I r 111 r. Warton has the spirit of a fly he will at once
seve hi ,self from his coma tnenta. Possibly am a
punishmen, fr the r stupidity in converting such
nuisance unto a hi mho( of Parliament, the privileges
of the t .wn as a Customs Port are threatened with
annihilation. In this cane to whom should the people
of Bridport fly for help, if not to their member.

that they will be well and deservedly patruniaed.

Inquiries with the view to provide public swimming
and other baths for the town of Yeovil He traced
the history f the waterworks, which, he said, were
now • paying concern, and urged that the water which
was now wasted might be utilised for public, baths.
Mr. Edward,'s statement that the waterworks were
making a profit was challenod by several members,
who sail that, although the works were proirree•inb
eatisfactorily, when the great expense that had been
Incurred in bringing water into the town, &c., was con-
sidered, the waterworks could scarcely be said yet to
be realising • profit. The resolution was, after
slight alteration, passed, and referred to the Wats:
