Sontersetsbire.

Yrovri. —Mr. Turner, butcher of this town, has
sustained a sad loam in the death of his son, a tine
youth of 16, by drowning. The lad was bathing in
a place called Crickets Ham, on Thursday week, in
company with • companion named Say. He had
swam 110/01111 the river two or three times, and was
diving with vigour, when all at once he sank
gradually, and was drowned in the presence of his
companion and of a youth who was looking on. An
inquest was held on the body at the Wine Vaulta,
on Saturday, and a verdict of Aocidentally Drowned
returned.—A child, 16 months old, named Mary
Haber, the daughter of • labourer on the railway,
was accidentally drowned by falling into a pan of
water LA week. An inquest was held at the John
Bull Inn, before Mr. Coroner Ashford, on Saturday,
when a verdict of Found Drowned was returned.

Aann.L.—Siagular CCM. —On Saturday week W.
W. Idunckton, E.g., county coroner, held an inquest
at the Cross Keys Inn, in the pariah of Ashill, near
Ilminater, on the body of William Foxwell, a lad
about 14 years of as.. It appears from the evidenos
that on the day previous he was engaged with
another lad by the name of Meade in storing away
mangold 'rural for Mr. Hine, of Thickthorne, in
that pariah. About three o'clock in the afternoon
Meade had occasion to go to the orchard adjoining
the premises leaving the deceased in the putt throw-
ing in the mangold. On his return in the course of
five minutes he found deoseeed kneeling down in the
linhay. He inked him what wee the matter and
he made no reply. He appeared sick and feint.
MenclAkinkilig that be had been drinking, laid him
down in a crib on SOON straw sad went away to fetch
more mangold. William Collins Jiaáng that way
between four or five o'clock found deceased in the
crib quite dead. A poet none,* examination warn
made by G. R. Burt, Esq., who observed that the
liver rod spleen ware twice their natural nee, and
that there wee a transverse rupture of that part of
the spleen which lies against the stomach, and
a considerable quantity of blood had been poured
from it into the cavity of the abdomen, which was
the cause of death. The organ itself was very
brittle and the least exertion would have caused its
rupture. The boy had been suffering from ague, to
which Mr. Burt attributed the enlargement of the
pleen and liver. There were no marks of violence
about him. The jury returned a verdict, "Died
from natural causes."

SUTTON POYNTZ.

FIRE—On Wednesday last a straw rick, adjoining
a field of standing corn, which belonged to Mr. Pope,
of this place, was accidentally set on fire by some
children who were playing with inciter matches.
Had it not been for the prompt exertions of one of
the Masters Pope, who came with shouts dozen of the
labouring men, the whole of the wheat would, in all
probability, have been consumed, as the wind,
which was blowing hard at the time, carried large
flakes of the burning mass among the corn. These,
however, were with difficulty extinguished, so that
the straw, about 20 tons, was the only rerions loos.
The fire commenced about 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
and continued burning daring the greater part of the

made.

Mr. G. CLivg obeerved that, after the House had al-
ready pealed a Bill for the total abolition of Church
-
rates, it was impossible to persevere in this Bill.
Mr. A LOOM withdrew his motion.
The Metropolis Carriage Ways Bill was withdrawn.
The Imprisonment for Small Debts Bill was read a
mond time.
. .

Mr. WHITESIDE in moving the second reading of the
Criminal Procedure Bill, defended that part of the mea-
sure which did away with the forfeiture of goods and
corruption of blood of criminals. He adverted to another
Bill—the Public Justice Offences Bill—and judilled the
abolition of the punishment of death in oases where
there was no premeditated design to take away life.
The SITORNET-GILEZRAL said it would be his duty
and that of the Solicitor-General, with the sanction of
the Government, to bring the statute law of the country,
and especially the criminal law, into a proper condition,
and the result of their labours would be laid before
Parliament at the beginning of the next year. He in-
dicated the principles which, be said, would guide them
in dealing with the criminal law.
After a few words from Mr. JAMES, Mr. WHITE-
SIDE withdrew these and his other Bills of law reform.
The Judgments (Ireland) Bill was read a second
time.
The remaining orders were disposed of, and the
House adjourned at 10 minutes to 6 o'ckock.

ILLRIC•LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

JULY 22.—A very limited supply of
English wheat came fresh to hand to-day, coastwise and
by land carriap. As the attendance of buyers was
moderate, the demand for most kinds was in a sluggish
Mete, at Monday's currency. In foreign wheat—the
amply of which was extensive—next to nothing was
paining, on tamer terms. Floating cargoes of grain
were a slow inquiry. We have no improvement to
notice in the barley trade. Prime, however, were sup-
Malt moved off heavily, on former terms. 'We
had a fair demand for oats, at full currencies ; but
beans, peas, and flour were a dull inquiry, at late
rates.

breeds ruled steady, at fully Monday's quotations. We
were well supplied with ',hasp, which moved off 'lowly,
at late rates. Lambs—the supply of which was large—
were very inactive; nevertheless, Monday's prices were
supported. There was a moderate inquiry for calves, at
late quotations. Pip in improved request. Much
cows heavy.

FRIDAY.

Lord NOILMLNBY asked Her Majesty's Government if
they had received any information regarding the asser-
tion in the speech of the Emperor of the French "that
the Italian Sovueigns had been persuaded of the neces-
sity of introducing salutary reforms;" and also if any
exceptions were to be made in the restoration of the
Italian Sovereigns.
Lord Gisanvius WU unable to give any detailed in-
formation on the 'subject.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE, in moving the second read-
ing of the Speaker of the Legislative Council (Canada)
Bill, said that the object of the Bill was to permit the
Council to elect its own Speaker, instead of that func-
tionary being appointed, as he now is, by the Crown.
After a abort conversation the Bill was read a second
time.

The Duke of NrwcAeeLe then moved the second read-
ing of the North-Western Territories (British America)
Bill, and informed the House that the purpose of the
measure WAS to appoint magistrates to secure public
order, and to lay down rules for the better regulation of
trade between the whites and Indians, with the view of
preventing oppression.
The Bill was read a second time,

Lord CLAN &WALLIS asked Her Majcaty's Government
what decision had been announced or communications
made to various persons who sent tenders to the
Admiralty on the lit of July, in accordance with the
advertised invitation, for the conveyance of mails to
Australia rigl Panama in steamships; and, if no decision
has been given, whether Her Majesty's Government
have abandoned the intention of establishing the line of
mail steauiers contemplated in the advertisement. He
pointed out the importance of establishing a double line
of steamers between Australia and this country, as it
was not unlikely that one of the routes might be inter-
rupted in case of war. The most obvious route on
which to establish a line of mail steamers was rid
Panama, the expense of which would, he thought, be
entirely met by • sum of £50,000 proposed to be given
by the Government of Sidney, and of £45,000 accruing
from the postage of letters. After some remarks in
regard to the system of contracts, he concluded by
moving for a copy of any contract legally perfected and
in force at this moment for the conveyance of mails in
steamships to Australia by any route.
The Duke of Somalian said these contracts did not
originate from the Admiralty, but from the Treasury,
who only regulated the route and rate of speed. The
tenders had been sent to the Treasury, which has not
yet arrived at • decision, especially as the system of
these contracts has been submitted to the consideration
of a Select Committee of the House of Commons. In
respect to a motion for a copy of any contract on the
subject, he begged to inform Lord Clanricarde that no
contract had been as yet signed.
Lord CLANSICARDIL expressed his astonishment that
no contract existed for the conveyance of the mails
between this country and so important a colony as
Australia, and in consequence withdrew his motion.
, The Houle adjourned at 25 minutes to 7 o'clock.

WIGYMOUTH.

Witritotrrn literea—We ere happy to state that
the committee who are 'barged with the mamas.-

rendering theme sports as attractive and as interesting
as possible. The county gentlemen, we are pied to
find, ate reeponding liberally to the calls made upon
them ; and this ii Do °Misery natter of congratula-
tion, seeing that from some curse or other (never
satidactorily shown) the efforts of the conicittee
have of late years been but indifferently supported,
A prise, &prizes, will be given for half-bred home,
which will afford an opportunity to some of the most
distinguished hunting farmers of the comity to con-
test the laurels amongst their own compeers in a fiat
race. This arrangement, in a hunting county like
Dorset, is a very happy one, and while it cannot fail
to add much to the spirit of these sports, will tend
at the seine time, there eze be no doubt, to enlist the
support and &instance of the yeomen of Dorset in a
still greater degree than heretofore. The races are
fixed for the 7th and Bth of September.

TURKEY.

The Hersgovina is much troubled. Skirmishes are
frequent, and on the 18th of June an important
combat occurred, when the rayahs, who had intercepted
the road, were attacked by Achmet Paths at the bead
of several battalions of Nissen', and put to the rout,
leaving many dead on the field and 130 prisoners, all
of whom, with the exception of nine reserved to be
sent to Constantinople, were immediately beheaded by
the General's orders.
A proclamation barn been addressed by Prince Danilo
to the Bclavonian population of Turkey. It is as
follows :- Sclavonians,—Kept in subjection by foreign
nations, you who suffer so much in fighting under
foreign banners, where is your own country? Where
are your own homes? You have neither No one
loves you—all hate you! At last unsteath the sword,
and with an avengeful hand smite your oppressors.

and the Government have this object in view. Three
Ministers of the Crown, a number of Members of Par-
liament, and ladies acid children, had a narrow escape
on Lake Huron a few days ago ; they were on the steam-
boat Ploughboy, on the wide expense of the lake, when
an accident occurred to the machinery, and the boat
was without mails or led.; they therefore, hopelessly,

PRUSSIA.

Baur, July 18.

The Prussian Gazette publishes a leading article in de-
fence of the attitude taken by Prussia during the last few
months, and endeavours to prove that its policy has
prevented • universal war. The article lays the chief
stress upon the fact that a real and substantaal basis for
joining in the war was wanting. It gore on thus :
Prussia can draw her sword for German and Proasian
interests, but not for maintaining or relatablishing a
stele of affairs in Italy which Austria herself has recog-
nised as not maintainable; nor for sustaining isolated
articles of the treaties of 1815 (nicht fur Fade:Mang
ein:elses Bestial:leaven der rertrage ran 1815). The
article further says :—The proposals for mediation made
by Prussia were far more favourable than the prelimina-
ries of peace which have now been agreed upon. The
article concludes :—Prussia has no occasion to be dis-
satisfied with the unexpected turn matters have taken.
While discontinuing her military measures she awaits
the further development of affairs with calmness.

The foUowing order of the day to the army has been
published to-day :—At the moment when war broke out
between the two neighbouring great Powers I had or-
dered the army to be placed in readiness for war, in or-

Prussia. The change which threatened us then is over.
While you were still marching to occupy pceitions I had
ordered for you the belligerent Powers suddenly con-
cluded peace. Your advance had shown our firm reso-
lution to maintain our frontiers and those of Germany
inviolate, whatever might be the destinies of war. You
have shown the readiness I had expected from you, and
have maintained in general a dignity worthy of the name
of Pruuia. You have made many personal sacrifices,
and I express to you my full satisfaction.

THURSDAY.

The Royal assent was given to a number of Bills, of a
public and private nature, by Royal Commission.
The LORD CRAIICIELLOR, in moving the second reading
of the Divorce Court Bill, briefly alluded to the former
difficulties of procuring a divorce, and stated the recent
alterations which had been made in the law by the con-
stitution of the present Divorce Court. The business of
the Court bad increased so much more than was antici-
pated, that it became necessary to consider what steps
should be taken to relieve it from the present press of
business. Re did not wish to create new Judges, and he
therefore proposed that, in addition to the present judi-
cial staff, all the junior Plume Judges should form a part
of the Court. The measure also contained • provision
to enable the Court to sit with closed doors in cases of
great indecency. It was also proposed to require t'se
Attorney-General to watch petitions for divorce in cases
where there might be reason to suspect collusion.
After a abort dismission, the Bill was then read a
second time.

The Duke of Boxraerr, in answer to Lord Carnarvon,
said the present Board of Admiralty were deeply con-
vinced of the importance of making 10010 arrangements
in regard to 11.a,lhe harbour.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE assured Lord Stratford de
Radcliffe that the importance of the question of defence
had been well considered by the Government, and that
nothing had been neglected for that

Imperial Vartiament.

ROUSE OF LORDS-MONDAY

Lord MALIIIIIIMIT asked Her Majesty's Government
whether the despatch of Lord John Russell dated June
22d, and addressed to the Government of Prussia,
which had appeared in the newspapers, was authentic,
and if so, whether there would be any objection to laying
it, and the answer to it, on the table of the House.
Lord WOIMHOUNt said that the despatch as it
had appeared in the newspapers was authentic in sub-
stance. He explained to the House that the severe
censure pusod by Lord Malmesbury on that despatch
was • censure on his own policy, as the despeach was
merely an exposition of the palsy pursued by the late
Government.

Lord BROUGHAM tnuted that, am we had nothing to
do with the
with
just concluded, we should not wiz our-
selves up_ with anything that may occur.
Lord MALMSRBURT estizd the difference betwessu
his despatch and that of John Rumen.
The Duke of Newesints said that the despatch of
Lord John Russell was suggestive, while that of Lord
Ilalineebury was of a threatening character.
Lord GRANTILLI agreed that the despatch of Lord
Malusesbary was at a much less friendly c.radn than
that of Lord John Russell.

The subject thendropped.
Lord CRANWORTH Wiled the attention of the House
to the fourth report of the Commissioners for Consolida-
ting the Statute lA+. He suggested that the COMllliiiioll
should be put under the control of two or three gentle-
men of eminence, with a competent star of clerks, who,
relinquishing their professional practise, should devote
their energies to the accomplishment of the work in

The LORD CR 4ICILLOR concurred in the suggestion
of Lord Cranworth, and considered that such a staff of
professional men might, besides cousolidating the statute
law of the land, te made extremely useful in their legal
°Apo:AT to both Houses of Parliament in misting
members in drawing up Bills. He took the present
occasion to state that the Government contemplated at
the beginning of next 11111116i0D to introduce measures on
bankruptcy, on the transfer of real property, on taking
evidence in the Court of Chancery, to oonsolidate and

simplify the orders of the Lord Chancellors and to estab•
lish Axed courts, me that courts of common law :night be
able to decide any equitable question which might
incidentally arise, without bandying suitors from
courts of oommon law to courts of equity.
After a few reinarks from Lords CHICLIISFOILD)
CRANWORTII, and BROUGHAM the subject dropped.
Their Lordships adjourned at half-past 7 o'clock.
Dorchester, Dorset, England, 1859-07-26

ITALY.

All Italy appears to be disappointed with the peace to
a dangerous extent. It in not unlikely that outbreaks
will occur in the Duchies. We hear that 40,000
Frenchmen arc to remain to keep order.
The Tuscan Council of State, consisting of the most
eminent men in the Grand Duchy, unanimously voted
on the 12th the Union of Tuscany with the new king-
dom of Northern Italy, under the sovereignty of the
house of Savoy Addresses to the King and Emperor
of the French in accordance with this resolution were
voted. The Council demands that in any case Tuscany
shall not be placed again under the yoke of Austrian
Princes. _

_
Austna has officially informed the German Diet of
the re-establishment of peace, and suggested the return
of the military contingents to their homes, and the
reduction of the federal fortresses to a peace footing.
Peaceful navigation has resumed it. march in the
Adriatic and Levant.
Dorchester, Dorset, England, 1859-07-26

TUESDAY.

Lord EITANLIT OF ALDIRLIT, in presenting a petition
from bankers, merchants, and others in favour of the
establishment of direct lines of snbniarine telegraphs
between Great Britain and Her Majesty's possessions
abroad, insisted on the importance of all telegraphic
communications between this country and her Issues-
sions being under our own control. He was glad to find
that the Government were alive to the importance of
the subject by the assistance they hart afforded in laying
down • line between England and Gibraltar, and dwelt
long upon the necessity, in case of war between France
and England, of maintaining our communications with
India free from the control of foreign Powers. It would
be much better, in his opinion, if the Atlantic Telegraph,
when renewed, should connect this ()wintry with Ameri-
ca through Nova ficiatisi and Canada. The best MCII/111,
he thought, of establishing effective means of
communication with our colonies would be by giving
the management of the whole matter to the Postrollic•
authorities. .

Lord ELLENROROUGH entirely concurred with what
had fallen from Lord Stanley of Alderley.
Lord GRANVILLE agreed with the suggestions of Lord
Ellenborough, especially as regarded the importance of
renewing the communication between this country and
America.

After a desultory conversation the subject dropped.
Lord WODEROUSE, in answer to a question from Lord
Stratford de Radcliffe, said that Her Majesty's Govern-
ment, after consulting with the great Powers, bad agreed
to recognise the election of Colonel Coosa as Hospodar
of the two Principalities on the distinct understanding
that the CIUM was an exceptional one and not to be made
a precedent.
The House then adjourned at half .past 6.

STURMINSTER. NEWTON.

Calmer MATCH.—On Friday last the return match
between the Btarmlnster Vale of Blar.!moor Club,
and the Child Okeford and Stapleton Club, was
played out with considerable virit on the pound of
the former. The well-known efficiency of both clubs,
combined with the fine weather, drew together a large
number of visitors, with a good sprinkhng of ladies,
who appeared to take great interest in the match-
Mr. Rogersacted as umpire for the Sturminster men,
and Mr. W. C. Isaac for the Okeford Club. Wickets
being pitched at 11 o'clock, the Okeford men were sent
in first by the Sturminstee, who had won the tom, and
marvellous to state they were disposed of in • very
short time for the extraordinary low number of 11
runs. In their second innings, some excellent bat-
ting on their side showed a very different result, and
added 74 to the score; but it was evident from the
commencement, as the subjoined wore will show,
that the Sturminster men were more than a match
for their opponents, and they &pun' carried off the
laurels, proving victorious with five wickets to go
down.

PORTLAND.

During the recent fine weather great exertions
have been made to restore the staging demolished by
the late gales. So strenuous were the efforts put
forth, that in spite of the magnitude of the repairs,
the locomotives were enabled to proceed as usual on
Monday, 14, and the deposit of stone is now carried
on as regular as ever.
Hsr Majesty's ship Man weighed on Monday, and
' proceeded outside Portland. lu the afternoon the
crew were exercised at general quarters, firing at a
mark. The firing was good, one target having been
shot away. At 11 they went to night quarters
with blank cartridge. The ship has • young crew,
but is getting into order.
STALACTITE CAVERN. —Ol3 Monday week the
workmen in one of the quarries near the church on
the hill, discovered a cavern of a very interesting
character, It appears that at some period or other
a subsidence of a portion of the block bed has taken
place, while the superincumbent beds remain unaf-
fected, leaving • space in the form of • cave or grot-
to, of considerable extent, and irregular width, from
the roof of which a large number of beautifully
formed stalactites are suspended, some of them DO
thicker than the stem of a tobacco-pipe, and others
several inches in diameter, while the whole surface
of the rock is covered with crystalized carbonate of
lime, in an endless variety of forms. The appear-
ance, when lighted up, is exceedingly beautiful.
Since the discovery has got wind a large number of
persons from the neighbourhood, and offlceis of the
fleet, have visited the cavern, and have been highly
gratified by the sight. The quarry-men at work lit
the quarry will exhibit the cave to visitors upon pay-
ment of a gratuity for their trouble.

AMERICA.

The San Juan dispute lu not yet terminated, though
it appears that the last despatches of the British
Government on this subject were very conciliatory.
Secretary Cass is said to have written sdcepatcb vindi-
cating the American claim to the island, and to this no
answer had yet reached Washington. The American
Government had frankly informed lord John Russell
that General Harnev's act of taking possession was un-
authorised, but it showed little disposition to tell the
General to quit San Juan. However, General Scott has
received full instructions how to act on that point.
Meanwhile, the American troupe at San Juan remain in
quiet possession of the island, and are said to be busily
strengthening their defenors.

WEYMOUTH.

VOLUNTEER CORPS.—A numerous and respectable
meeting was held at noon on Wednesday last for the
above object. The chair was taken by the Mayor,
(J. Hancock, Esq.), and the meeting was addressed
by several of the gentlemen present. Resolutions
were passed unanimously to the effect that immediate
steps should be taken for the formation of a Volun-
teer Corps; also that subscription-lists should be
opened forthwith, and a general appeal made to the
townsmen. A committee was also appointed in
furtherance of the object in view, and it was left to
them to determine whether the corps should consist
of riflemen or artillerymen; but as the meeting was
generally in favour of the former, it was understood
that a Rifle Corps would be established. At the
close of the proceedings subscriptions to the =out
of more than .£3OO were guranteed.
ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.—OR the night of Wednes-
day last an attempt was made to force open the
counting-house door of the market-house, which,
however, the thief did not succeed in effecting. The
police are on the look out, and will probably bring
the offender to justice.
DEATII Sr DROWNING.—A mariner, named Ran•
dall, employed on board the stone boat, Harmony,
lost his life on Wednesday last, being knocked
. overboard by the boom of the above boat, on her
jibing, at the back of Portland. The body has not
yet been found.
.N0oN•1,.1 I' PRATER .11geriNus.—The MOMS, at-
tendant elsewhere on religious services of the above
description has induced an attempt at their introduc-
tion into Weymouth. It is proposed to hold the
meetings from twelve to one every Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday, and Friday. . .

WEYMOUTH ELECTION.-By the election auditor's
statement, recently issued, we tind that Lord Grey
de Wilton and Mr. Brook's election for Weymouth
cost them (ostensibly) 11,397 12s. ; Colonel
Freestun and Mr. Campbell's expenses amounted to
£b24 14s. 3d. In each case the accounts and ex-
penses were joint and undivided.
LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INsvivrrioN.—A Con-
cert on behalf of this Society was given at the
Royal Hotel Assembly-rooms, on Wednesday even-
ing week, by the band of the Bedfordshire Militia,
whose services were kindly permited by the colonel
and officers of the regiment. A very numerous
assembly was present on the occasion. A selection
of operatic and other music was very ably executed
by the band, whom skill was displayed in an un-
doubted manner, and could scarcely be found fault
with, except perhaps that the forte esssages were
somewhat unpleasantly loud, an objection which we
suppose is usually attendant on brass music when
performed in a room. Mr. Stagg performed a solo
on the flute, and Mr. H. T. Stagg (son of the first
named gentleman) sustained the pianoforte accom-
paniment very admirably.

LITERARY INSTITUTION. —OR Friday last the
members and friends were favoured with a lecture
from Mr. W. C. Isaac, on "Winter, its Influences
and Effects upon Nature." The lecture had been
advertised for the previous Tuesday, but unforseen
circumstaama rendered its postponement necessary,
and this and other causes had the effect of making
the attendance very acanty ; but those who were
present appeared mach gratified with what they
beard. At the conclusion a cordial vote cf thanks
was proposed to Mr. Isaac, and carried by acclama-
tion.

The parties having partaken of some wine, Mr.
SZYMIR proceeded briefly to address them. He
said he had had great pleasure in distributing the
prizes, and he had no doubt that they had been
equally glad to receive them. He hoped they were
not yet sufficiently enlightened to object to receive a
good coat and waistcoat because they were given by
an agricultural society. He knew that he should
not object if he were in their places. Let him add
that if their conduct through life had been based
upon principle, as he had no doubt was the case,
they had, he was sure, received, in the approbation
of their own consciences, a greater reward than any
little present which this society could bestow. He
would also express his conviction that happiness was
more evenly distributed amongst different classes
than people were apt to believe. If freed from the
pressure of want, a life of healthy labour such as
they had to pursue, was not less happy than any
other; indeed, as a general rule, the idle man was
not a happy man, in proof of which he had only to
remind them that parties who retired from business
upon a competency frequently felt themselves obliged
to re-embark in business, solely in order that time
might press less heavily upon their hands. They
might depend upon it that the labouring man was as
happy as his wealthier neighbour, and that the
plain fare of the husbandman, seasoned as it was
by hunger and hard work, was more enjoyed than
the richest feast ever placed before the idle man.
Without detaining them longer, he beggul to wish
them, in their several capacities, every health and
prosperity. (Cheers.)
The labourers then retired.
