DRAINAGE.

The drainage works consist ofpipe sewers, varying
front nine to eighteen inches in diameter, and in main
outiall brick ss•wer, twenty inches in diameter. The
plans were submitted to the late General Board of
Health, and approved in July, Tue works haire
generally been carried out in accordance w.th tilos)
plans. The principal deviation has been in tie inin
sewer where it passes through the " t'ommon Mea-
dow, where a great quantity of water was suet with,
and which forced its way through the brick sewer. 'The
reason for this deviation is thus explained by Mr,
Whitehead. He says in a report to the Loal Board,
dated July 10. 1859, " It became necessary to rz-lay the
wet portion of the main sewer intersecting the common
meadow, and this has been sucomsfully dune with 18.
inch stone ware pipes, set in cement, with a 9-inih re-
lieving stone ware pipe laid by the side of the larger
one, about 15 inches above the level of the butt iin of
the sewer, the two pipes being equal to the sectional
area of the 20-inch sewer. I may here state that my
reason for recommending this arrangement of two pipes,
was based mainly on the difficulty and uncertainty of
procuring 20-inch stone ware pipes sufficiently thick,
and steU burnt throughout their thick:teas, to remain
permanently sound in wet ground." Mr. Whitehead pro-
ceeds to observe that he has recently examined this
portion of the work, and found it to he perfectly secure
and working well.

ANOTHER EPHICOPAL GATHERING.—Make ready fur

THE DERBY MANIVENTO.—The Freeman's Journal
fortels preparations for a crop of agitation which ill to bO

(field's Causeway to Cape Clear, the old landmarks in
times of trouble. The whole priesthood of Ireland, the
Fri, oion's Journal swears, are involved in this outrage
Upon the priest of !)oon ; and every priest in Ireland,
be he parish priest or curate, " must regard it as an
offence to his cloth and to the sacred office lie holds."
The county of Limerick is to take the initiative, and

THE MoRA LITT or Iteetrt Northene
Whig produces some curious facts, fortified by dull and
plodding statistics, to disprove the allegation of the
Revivalists, that the " effuse of morality has been sig-
nally strengthened ; that drunkenness has altogether
dwindled into insi;mifieance ; and that jwace, joy, and
social love were the nide/eller: of every poor family, and
the fort-ete J 111111 l glory of happy Ulster." So far fr
this being the case, the Whip maintains that the millen-
nium is a.s re te as ever ;that the revivals, instead of
giving an impetus to religion and 1111 l rality, have acted
with a fli,tinctly opposite effect, and have increased to
a very considerable extent the tatio of drunkenness, cri-
minal offences, and personal misconduct. These are
startling assertions, but the evidence to Ruppert thew
seems to be of a very simple and matter-of tact nature.

WAREHAM.

The Corporation have lately made • practically
useful move in this town, and in the right direction,
by the appointment of • Nuisance Removal Com-
mittee, under the "Act for removal of Nuisances in
England, 1555." The following members of the
Corporation have been appointed :—Mr. Freeland,
Filliter, (chairman) ; Messrs. A. H. Minty, Charles
Willcot, C. H. Card. C. 11. Barfoot, and C. Selby.
The committee meet regularly every week, and
receive the reporta of their Inspector sate various
nuisances. The inspection has been impartial, con•
stant, and vigilant so far, and the result has been the
removal of divers manure heaps, cleansing of pigsties,
and other premises, buildmg privies, ke. The
attention of the committee has also been called to
some drainage, which has been offered to be done by
J. H. Calcraft, Esq., M.P. for the borough, at his
own expense, and offers a very good example. If
regularly persevered in, it is felt that the labours of
the committee, given gratuitously, will very much
promote and increase the comfort and cleanliness of
the town; especially when the rainy weather comes
on, and hitherto no sanitary body has existed here.
The owners and occupiers of property here have
heretofore responded very cordially to the call made
upon them.

CRIME IN FRANCE —The Court of Assizes of the
(lard has been occupied three days in trying a young
man, named Blather, only eighteen years of age, of
Besouce, for having on the 18th of January murdered •
respectable married woman of the village, named Henri.
The woman had gone out to buy some bread for her
husband's supper, and had called at the house of
Madame Blather, where the young man happened to be
alone. She was never more seen alive, and the day
after her dead body was found in an olive plantation at
some distance from the village. She had evidently been
murdered by blows on the head. Young Bladier was
naturally suspected, and he was seen to be greatly
agitated. In his bedroom and in another room in the
house there were marks of blood, and the floors and
some articles of furniture had recently been washed; •
ladder also in the garden had evidently just been
washed. Some persons having suggested that it would
be advisable to search the well, he said, "Oh ! you
will perhaps find • stick there. The neighbours some-
times throw in sticks." In the well • thick stick, stained
with blood, and with some hair of • woman adhering to
it, was found. He was unable to give any explanation
of these circumstances, and after • while he confessed
that being alone in the house with the woman, he had
lA.vtaslt am was much his senior, to outrage
her ; that she had resisted violently, and had threatened
to have him arrested ; and that he then, from fear that
she would fulfil her threat, murdered her by blows on
the head with a stick. He had then removed the dead
body from the house, getting it over the garden wall by
means of the ladder, and had washed the blood from
the ladder, the floors, and the furniture. The jury
declared him guilty with extenuating circumstances,
and the wart condemned him to hard labour for life.

SOUTHAMPTON.

THE LATE MR ALDERMAN ANDREWS OF SOUTH-
AmrToN. The remains of the late Mr. R ichard
Andrews were interred in the cemetery on Saturday
afternoon. amid demonstrations of regret by thou-
sands of the inhabitants, who accompanied the
corpse to its last resting place. The funeral proces-
sion. which was of great length, left the private
residence of the deceased in Portland-street at 2
o'clock, and passed through crowded streets, nearly
every shop having its shutters closed, and flags float-
ing at half-mast from the public and private buildings
in the town The whole of the men and boys em-
ployed in his carriage factory walked at the head of
the procession, three abreast, 12 of the men who had
been in his employ 20 years accompanying the hearse
and acting as pall bearers as the corOge passed through
the cemetery grounds. The mayor, magistrates, alder-
men, councillors, and public officiaL attended in
mourning coaches, and a large number cf the inhabi-
tants followed in carriages, succeeded by a numerous
hotly of the members of the Odd Fellows, Foresters,
and other provident societies (of which Mr. Andrews
was a warm friend and supporter), the whole attired
in plain mourning. Despite the unfavourable state
of the weather there were thousands of people in the
cemetery, and the sorrow which sat upon every coun-
tenance marked the extent of the loss sustained in
the death of this remarkable man. All the evening
the bells of the parish churches rang mused
Mr. Andrews, who was in the 61st year of his age.
died on the previous Monday morning after four or
five ths severe and painful illness. Burn in a
humble village of Hampshire, on the ISth of Decem-
ber, 1795, the first years of his life were passed in
obscurity and poverty, working as a farm lad at
a day, from 9 to 12 years of age; then getting employ
as a sawyer, next as • blacksmith, but always with
aspirations for something better. In IS2I he came
to Southampton with half-a-crown in his pocket the
sum total of his earthly property,) and got work as
&journeyman coach maker in Mr. Jones's factory, where
he was employed for aev-n years, when, with the
money saved during that period from his wages, he
started in business in an humble way on his own ac-
count. From that time his course was onward anif
upward, his indomitable energy, integrity, and in-
dustry, carving out 6.r himself a position of wealth
and honour as a tradesnum, and a name and reputu'
Lion for public spirit which will long survive him.
He successively served the offices of Town-l'ouncillor,
Alderman, Sheriff, Mayor (five times), and tnag.strut4
of the borough. He was always firm and faithful to
his principles, but conciliated and made fast frieodu
of those who conscientiously differed from him. As
a tradesman he became the hailing coachmaker in the
South of England, building carriages for the Queen
and most of our nobility, and sending specimens of
his manufacture to every part of the world. lie has
left a widow and two sons.

MARK-LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

FRIDAY, APRIL I.—The week's arrivals of English
wheat, coastwise, have amounted to only 1,970 qrs. and
fresh up to-day, by land carriage, the receipts were very
moderate. Although the bulk of the supply on offer
found buyers, the demand was by no means active, at
Monday's currency. Foreign wheat the show of
which is rather extensive— met • slow inquiry. In
prices, however, no change took place. The few samples
of fine barley in the market found buyers at very full
prices ; but the value of grinding and distilling sorts
was rather drooping. In malt, only a limited business
was transacted, at late rates. We had a slow inquiry
for oats, at Monday's prices; but beans and peas were
firmer. The flour trade was in a sluggish state, on former
terms.

TU ESD A Y.

- -
Lord CAMPBELL, in moving the second reading of the ,
Juries in Civil Causes Bill, observed that this Bill ,
applied solely to civil cases. He brought forward
several instances to prove that the unanimity of juries
was not in former times imperative, but that the
opinion of a majority was binding on the minority, a
custom still in force among grand juries, and among
their Lordships in their judicial capacity. He himself
thought that the jury on retiring should be supplied with
refreshments, and aftei they had been confined a
certain number of hours ',hat the decision of a majority
of nine should be sufficiest for a verdict. There was II
growing tendency among juries to disagree, and he
thought that if we expected unanimity we might as well
abolish trial by jury altogether
Lord LYNDHUIthr OpPlied the second reading of the
Bill because its object was to change one of the funda-
mental laws of the kingdom.
Lord GRANVILLE supptrted the Bill.
The Lord CHANCELIAOR was opposed to the Bill as the
alteration it proposed was one of the utnsost importance,
involving the whole question of trial by jury.
lord GRANVILLE slid Lord CHANwouris supported
the Bill, which was opposed by Lord Wo:xxii.XYDALE.
Lord Km NUriDoWN exptessed a strong opinion in favour
of the Bill,
And after • few words 'non Lord Can rur.i.s. in reply,
on a diVitlioll the Bill was thrown out, there being 7 for

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE NEW RAILWAY STA-
nos.— On Thursday morning a young man named
Charles Flemington, met his death under the follow-
ing melancholy circumstances :—The deceased, who
was in the employ of Mr. W. Atkins, painter,
plumber, and glazier, of Fisherton, was at work at
the glass ruof of the new station of the South• Wes-
tern Railway Company, at Fisherton, and stood on a
plank resting between two ladders. About a quarter
to aleven o'clock in the morning, he said to one of hie
fellow workmen. "Don't I look white ?" and imme-
diately fell MI the plank, which was slippery from
the frost, and pitched on his head, fracturing his
skull, and =using instant death. The body was
taken to the infirmary, where an inquest was held
during the day, before R.. M. Wilson, Esq., coroner,
when a verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned.
The deceased was a steady, industrious young man,
and only 21 years of age. It is scarcely two years
ago that his father, Thomas Flemington, met with
an untimely death by bein g buried underneath a
quantity of chalk which fell upon him in • chalk pit
at West Harnhanx.

LABOURERS' ENCOURAGEMENT ASSOCIATION.—We

bourhood, have already given the proposal their sup-
port; and we feel sure that as soon as it becomes
generally known it will meet with wide and hearty
encouragement.

SINGCLAR FOKSIL. —A remarkable natural curi-
osity has recently been found in the Portland
quarritm. It is a stone exactly resembling a
monkey's head awl the fore part of the body. The
shape of the ears, forehtstl, awl eyes are perfect,
as well as the paws reclining on the breast. It is
supposed by many conversant in geological matters
to be a genuine petrilhation, and if so, exceedingly
valuable, being the sole instance of a fossilized
monkey known. But if only a fuses naource—a
mere accidental resemblance, it is well worthy of
notice. The possoisor, Mr. Abraham Winter, bee
been offered ten guineas for the specimen, but as
may be observed by what follows, he places a much
higher value upon it. It is exhibited in Mr.
%%inter's widow, at ID. Chesil Terrace, Portland,
together with the subjoined lines, whom originality
will doubtless be undisputed :

" I an a monkey, her I stand,
I am for .W to any man ;
duineas is my ptice.
And that because I'm fossilized.
You think it dear, becauae I'm small,
But I'm the first amonz them all;
If )0u my fellow can but find,
I uant a mate, for I am kind."

Esq., who received a letter from Mr. R. Hill,
tary to the General Post-office, announcing that the

INDIA.

The trial of the Nawab of Farrukabad wu to corn
mence on the 14th of March.

The financial condition of India is viewed with great
alarm at Calcutta. The report that the Governor-Gene-
ral of India had applied to England for remittances of
bullion did great mischief ; for to the natives, with their
fantastic ideas of the wealth of India (and nearly all the
Indian capita/Ws are natives), this measure was equal to
a declaration of bankruptcy.
The Governor-General at length issued a notification
on the subject; in which be acknowledges the mutiny
expenditure in India alone, apart from home payments,
has been £8.000,000 in excess of the revenue.
He wants L 14,000,000 more for the coining year;
28.000,000 more have been already raised, and spent in
England, so that £24,000,000 is added to the debt.
Moreover, there exists avowedly no possibility of remit-
tances to England for the next two years, and as the
" house " expenditure is now £5,000,000 a year,
£10,000,000 more must be raised to meet them, making
an addition by 1881 of £34,000,000 to the Territorial
Debt, or within • little of two years' net revenue. This
RUM has beer raised partly at six and partly at four
per cent., and taking five as the average, the mutinies
have added £1,700,000 to the annual interest of the
debt. But this is not the worst. An annual deficit of
six or seven millions is anticipated for several years to
come, unless there are great reductions in expenditure.
