TRK RE-DISTRIBUTION SCHEME IN DORSET.
By the Re-distribution of Seats Bill the
boroughs DorsheAter aW nd areham are united
and will together return but one member. inateiul
of three as now. The group is to be called the
Dorchester boroughs, and the Mayor of Dorches-
ter will be the returning officer. Bridport,
Moulton (Devon !), and Lyme Regis are made
electoral borough, with one member in lieu
of fire as at present; the group is to be called
the Bridport boroughs, and the Mayor will act as
returning officer. What an incongruous union
of boroughs is here exhibited! Where is the
unity of character and community of interests
that should exist in a parliamentary oonstituency,
eithout which there can be no representation
And what say the unrepresented boroughs of
Sherborne, Blandford, and Wimborne, which it
was expected would at least be placed on a per
with Wareham and Lyme Regis? It will be
curious to note the aetion of the representatives
of use doomed boroughs, who are saked to gite
their cordial support to an act which, as regards
themselves, must be one of self-sacrifice.

ALLINGTOS CHURCHYARD.

re tAe &Nora

All sound Churchmen must thank most cordially
the Archdeacon of Dorset for hi meat charge,
and particularly that part of it which related to
the subject of churchyards. Is castling to
their condition he said that " many of them are
really honored and oared for, bat 0 cannot be
said that aa a rule this is sufficiently the case.
There are not a few places where they present a
neglected appearance, where the graves ere awe-
lasiy made and left unfinished; where weeds
grnw 11110 booked and the graves are untrimmed.
In some few instances the churchyards' (sad to
this portion of the charge I wish to draw special
attention) is let to hire, and animals are allowed
to tread down the graves.* Would it be believed
that this is actually the case in the churchyard
of our neighbouring parish of Allington I Fro-
quently have persons, and those who have friends
resting there, been pained to see anwpberof
sheep grazing in the churchyard, running over
and trampling down the graves. It was only, I
think, about three weeks or a month since that •
whole Jock of sheep, sad eons of them suffering
from the tick Mini, was there grazing. Of
course they did not canine themselves lo the
space between the graves, but to think the best
of it, they must have done some damage, end
even now a number of sheep are again in the
churchyard. I conker that the number on this
°wagon is but small, (about 15 or 16,) but that
cannot and ought not to be an excuse or junta
cation. Surely the feelings of relatives of
those who await the morn of the resurrection,
should be respected—or for the sake of remuner-
ation, and it can be but small, will the disgrace--
or to speak of it more mildly—the unseemliness
of the thing be continued I I cannot believe,
with the Feu. archdeacon, "that the churchyard,
the mixed resting place of ahristian men. is cam-
mated to the keeping either of the clergy or
churchwardens with a license to them to make
merchandise of it. Bather is it placed with them
in trust for the pariah to be set apart from all
profane uses, and kept is a manner beeocaing its
solemn purpose." If the letting out churchyards
is the perquisite of the sextons, and of the
*estop at A Winton church in particular, by all
means it is hoped that the good sense and feeling
of the parishioners will remove such an eyesore
as I have mentioned, and compensate him pecu-
niarily by some other way. Let the minister
and churchwardens, all very exosilent men, and
men who have hitherto done their duty, the to the
matter. If the nuisance be not corrected, or be
repeated, let the churchwardens, with whom the
churchyard is pitied "In trust for the parish"
follow the advice of the Archdeacon, and risks

HOUSE OF LORDS

MONDAT. —The Royal assent was given by commission
to several Bills, and others were forwarded a stage.
TUISD4T.—The business was without iuts-est.

TUUIIIIIDAT. —The Jamama question was brought be-
fore the House by Earl Ronsney asking wiat coulee the
Government intended to paints with regard to the
recent deplorable event, in that island. The Earl of
Carnarvon replted in • speech of some length. He
admitted that great excesses bad been committed on the
part of those in authority in Jamaica during the recent
insurrection, and that a strict investigation ought to be
made into their conduct The persons implicated were
. . • .

of three eisarne—naval, military, and civil, and with
regard to lb* former their oases would be dealt with by
the Admiralty. With regard to the military offline',
the eases in waich some of them were concerned it was
Impossible toyed without feelings of the deepest regret.
He had felt it his duty to briog their conduct before that
Commander.in-Chief, and had submitted for his con-
sideration whether it would not be expedient to try
them by court-martial, and if so, whether it would not
be better to remove them from the bland for trial, so
that the court might be so constituted as not to oo•tain
any officers who 13.1 been in any way connected with
the insurrection. That view had been adopted by th 3
Commsnder•in.Chief. With regard to the civilians, he
had instructed Sir J. Grant, the new governor, to in-
stitute the most searching inquiries, to ascertain
whether the conduct of any civilian required further in-
vestigation. He palliated the conduct of Mr. Eyre,
and mid that to indict him on • chap of murder was
one of the most preposterous things imaginable. Earl
Russell agreed with the noble Earl that there were no
grounds for mewing Mr. Eyre of murder. Lord
Houghton asked whether Government intended to
entertain any claims for compensation arising out of the
damage done during the insurrection. The Earl of
Caernarvon doubted very much whether this country
would be disposed to make any grant on that amount.
Much would &peal, however, upon the reports of Sir
J. Grant.

FRIDAY—EarI Rumen, in uking • question as to
how it was proposed to deal with the theirs' and
maws who beset Hyde Park after dark, took ommaion
to denounce lb. conduct of Mr. Walpole in withdrawing
the police from the park at the request of Mr. Scales
and other members of the deputation which waited
upon him. The noble earl contended that sufficient
police force should have been retained in the park to
put down the roughs. He praised the conduct of the
police, and said thst with some few exceptions they
had behaved admirably. The Earl of Derby defended
Mr. Walpole, and announced that endeavours were
being made to secure the safety of those who had to
cross the park after dark. Several bills were advanced

not allow the game to be played out, therefore it Iris
decided by the first innings, which was in favour of the
day school by five runa. The fielding of the latter
elicited frequent applaom, whilst the boa ling of T•

very effective. The dunes of the umpires were sb:y
performed by Mr. H 01131308 for the day scholars, and .J.

Asylum on Monday morning, were apprehended the
same evening at Froginore, near Chideock, by P.&
Lavender and two constables. They were conveyed
back to the asylum early the following morning.
We believe there will not be a regatta at Bridport
Harbour this year. The honorary secretary resigned
some few weeks ago, and requested those persons who
bad expressed a wish in the papers to have a regatta at ,
an earlier part of the season than August, to Garry MO

steps in the matter, and the late committee refine to do
anything this season.

entered into, and after passing a pleasant evening,

by their teachers, were taken to the Harbour, and were
plentifully supplied with tea and cake, before and after

well pleased with their afternoon's holiday.

to the girl's assistance, and asked what he was doing,
whereupon, Orchard fell upon him, striking him
several times in the face with his fist, kicking hire, and
threatening that he would stick him with the prang

EYPE.

Tin Marconi at Calmat. —Since ths erection of the
Memorial Church at Hype in cancoemoration of the his
and labours of the late Rev. G. Raymond, we have often
prorosed paying it • visit, and attending the week-dsy
service on that exceali..air laterestiug dte,and bat Friday
en opportunity of asionenpftWng thi• Purpose.
Crowning the summit ground that overhangs the east
and harbour, the site commands • perfect panorama, or
rather a circle of exquisitely ell veradaid paters over tit,
undulations of the neighbourhood, asecegat which thr
sea and the cliffs. Down House and oher readeoar,
appear on the one hand, whilst beautifully wooded emi-
nent*, roll in one picturesque bordering of light and
shade around the other, and like a Latin cross extend.
lug In the intervening hollows, stretches the length end
breadth of the town of heliport. When the surplieed
procession was penunbulating Ripe Church on the or.
cation of its oonseenttion, it consequently presented
thiougbout this vast ratline of scenery • most striking
appearance betwixt the distant spectator and the lofty
sky-line. We found the eurate, the Rev. J. J. Faked,
officiating, and were jest in time to join the handful of
worshippers in the Litany. This was at • week-day
service ; of mums the sse.rsd edifice b much better filled
on Srmidays, in fact, 's• were enured, that there is
usually • difficulty in accommodating with seats all
that attend. The organ, • small but beautiful instru-
ment, is fall and mellow-toned, and admirably adapted
to the church. The acoustics and construction of the
latter, however, greatly Nevem the circulation of wad,
and the robe of the officiating curiae exhibited very
little reverberation, even in • partitily filled
house, nor would there be any echo at all in • full
congregation. After service the rector, the Rev. Henry
Rawlineen, se.a., kindly conducted us over the building.
Every window in the southern fenestration is different
from another in tracery, so also are the stained glass
designs on the north. The east window, ranee•
seating the Acts of Mercy, is • noble compration
beautifully harmonised in bold and brilliant, yet
chastely coloured light.. The altar cloth is at
elegant and costly piece of work ' • and the par-
' quoting of the reredos wonderfully fine sod
effective. The 'tone pulpit is sculptured with statuettes
of the Saviour and the four evangelist+, whoa emblems
are again repeated in glans in several of the light. of the
north aisle. Of the pulpit sculpture' the facts and lona
of St. John tea divine inspiration. The bearded figure
of St. Lithe is eminently grave and imposing. The font
is also carved. We recommend a country walk to
Ripe to all our friends in the vicinity. Thu
whole of the details reflect credit on the taste and
knowledge of the rev, rector, who, it is well known. it
an sothusiastis freemason.
