on Wednesday down Silverntrest, as the morning 'bus

Mr. Boon's, when the young horse started off, and the

tearing it from the ground, but this did not seem to
Impede the progress of the animal down the hilt; fortun-
ately, however, it was stopped by wino men in Broad.

the 3rd of October, le*, of • bust furnished with copper
air-tight rases according to a plan suggested by Captain
R. Spencer, R.N.. to obviate the expense of the usually
used lifeboat The trial lifeboat was of small site,
and loaned for the purpose. Coder the thwarts the
air-tight cases of thin copper were placed, enclosed in boxes
of three-quarter-inch Norway deal for security. Two similar
cases, five feet lone and eight inches square were fixed
to the gunwale, exterior to the boat. Three nautical volun-
teers were the companions of Captain Spencer. The plug
having been pulled out so as to till the Unit with water,
the boat was rowed out and placed broadside to the serf in
alhigh sea, which broke over the boat vehemently. The
boat having been tested in this manner was baled out and
rowed out in a heavy sea to the S.E. point of the Cobb,
where the boat was so located as to be struck heavily by
the sea, but strong and repeated buffeting did not affect
the safety of the boat. It was believed that the invention
of this twat would benefit the merchant service, as by the
aid of six mem a common ship's bout might easily be ren-
dered • lifeboat, it would IQ interesting to know what

STRANGE CoNorrv—On Saturday morning last week,
very early, as Mr. Robert Warren, of Netherbury, was on
his way to Dorchester market, when between the mill
and the resbletwe of Sir M. H. Nepeari, he saw what he
thought was a veritable ghost, and being determined to
ascertain whether it wax so or not, he give the object a
cut with his whip, upon which Mr. Warren receisml a box
under the ear. Thi,, resulted in the discovery that the
figure which had alarmed bill, WM no other than Mr.
Ilansford, the Loden. Mill, who at that early hour,
almut four o'clock, was walking about destitute ..11 every
article of clothing lout his shirk It appears, too, that in
the same state Mr Ilausfonl went into • field where Mr.
nine was serving cons, and would help him, but Mr. Hine
sent him IMMO at once with two men. Soon after he
arrived at his house ho watched his opportunity and took

It seems that his neice bad watched him until one o'clock
on Satunlay morning, and sapwood at that time he went

out of one of the windows, and cusumeuessl his strange

sang • Where is now the merry Party I" and" y

received. Bra J. Dover danced capitally an hish jig,
accompanying it with • song, and of course he exciW
much fun and was heartily applauded. Mr. R. Hawks*,
who is one the favourites. sang "Fifty mike under the

being encored twice. The comic song of "The Nerves,'
by n Dorm, and Hounsell, again created immense

pleasure and abundant fun.
A. HOUR WITH THE WILD lIRDITIL"—Mr. 11. Wheeler
has published • well-printed pamphlet with the above
title. his written by an °dicer in the army, in order to
deal with one argument of Dr. Colonso's against the books
of Moses. The scripture states in Exodus x sii. 24 that
Ged premised to drive out the inhabitants of Canaan by
little. " lest the beasts of the field multiply against the
children of Israel." Dr. Celanso considered this to be •
proof that the book was not historically true, since in
Islam', with eight inhabitants to the square mils, the
people had maintained their ground against the beset. of
the field, whereas in Canaan they were Id° inhabitants to
the square mite, or twenty times as thick. Now the
writer shows that in Ouith, where there are fit inherit.
tants to the square mile, the beast• and reptiles have
increased, so as to &whey many people. This is since
the firearms were forbidden and the natives disarmed.
The statements of the writer are well selected and
abundant, and completely show the fallacy of Colonmo's
j argument, for tho would-he learned doctor appears to
I have forgotten that the Israelites had no guns. But, more
than this, the book is written in • very proper spirit, and
with an evident ileop feeling of disgust for a teacher who
, would attempt, while in a place of tru+t in the Church of
England, to undermine (situ. The pamphlet is well
worth reading, and from its exposures the reader may
I perha ss judge how little trait can be put in Colonise s

CATTLE

: BRISTOL, THURSDAY.—Large supply of fat
beef, and a good deal of it was of very prime quality.
The demand was rather quiet, and it was with di&
culty that all were disposal of, although last week's
rates were firmly maintained. Best samples fetched
from Sos to Sas per cwt, and middling sorts from 65s
to 735. We had also a pretty good show of sheep,
but trade was dull. Best welters from B,id to gd
per lb ; heavy ewes from 7).id to &I. There were
again but very few store cattle on offer, and the
business transacted was practically nil, very little hope
being entertained of an improvement so lung as keep
maintains its present rates. We had about an average
show of milch cows, which met with a rather better
sale and firm prices. There were about 1.100 pigs
on offer. Trade was quiet, but all were sold: Bacon
Is fetched from to 6cl to tos tad, and porkers Its
to Its 3,1 per score.
METROPOLITAN, THURSDAY.—The number of
beasts is small, yet quite sufficient for the demand ;
trade is very dull, and prices on the average are
lower. We have a larger number, of sheep than on
last Thursday. Trade as very dull; it is difficult to
effect a clearance at our reduced quotations. Choice
calves are scarce and char. There arc 55 English
and 43 Dutch milch cows on offer ; the trade is very
dull for them. Our foreign supply consists of 240
beasts, 2,650 sheep, and too calves.
