PORTISHA IL

Tag CROMLECIL —We have received from Mr.
Ball, of Weymouth, the eminent photographic
artist, two large and most marvellous photographs
of the Cromlech on Mr. Manfield's estate, which,
being taken from different points of view, convey a
complete idea of this venerable monument of Druid
antiquity, and it. present state and condition. The
immense superincumbent mass of stone is in both
instances the ohief feature in these exquisite pictures
but we like them beet as transcripts of a bit of
genuine nature, for whatever may have ono* been the
case, art has long ceased to have any concernment in
the paps of the group constituting this Crondeohouid,
resting at one extremity on a maesiee prop of rude,
unbewn, upright stone, the Cromlech, probatly a
rocking stone, if we may guess by a =all notch or
cradle laid bare on the top of one of the other sup-
porta, has fallen down apparently from off the other
two supporting pillars. We are not perfectly astir
fled that much displacement has happened however,
for all the cromlechs we have seen (and we have
seen several in the Island of Arran and elsewhere,
pertioularly that of the Temple of Kipp', in West
Lothian), all we say have been intentionally placed
in a eloping position, and much more elevated at one
end than the other. It is now stonily denied
amide the doubt* that email all Wage that these ,
were incrificial stones, or at lead that human victims I
(virgins) were immolated thereon. But, if secrilloial,it
is easy to surmise the reason why tb• victim should be
reposed in • sloping, and, in fact, half nFieit position
to the opposing gam of the multitude. We merely
make this remark, lest when the proposed " restore-
tioo " of this Cromlech is carried out, things may be
overdone b bringing it toe horiecekal posed= under
the permeation that tLat is the right one. Miessiwhile
we revel in Mr. Bull's amezinly rilrelleau Pb°6°-
PO. le presenting in our bumble estimation a far
more picturesque aspect of the some than will pro-
bably mut under any other °auditions. As the
stow themselves, every little bit of lichee mid
weather Patni. every indentation and am/Warily,

every knob and every amine, have bees transcribed,
not only strictly but with • management of light
and shads, tone and half tone, such as nothing but
the educated eye of an artist could have adjosted.
On the ground every twig and blade of gram and
their textures, together with that of every surfaoe
stone and inequality bare been taken up by the
camera and rendeied • ith a brilliancy and efiect,
such as at first surprised and awakened us to the
artistic capabilities of photography when Fenton's
and Simpson'. Crimean Sketches came round the
country, @hewing the marvellous wreck and ruin of
the Malakoff and ltedan. That Mr. Bull is entitled
to high rank as • pictorial photograph.r there can
remain no doubt after productions like these, which
we venture to say would for delicacy of manipu-
lation alone carry the palm in any exhibition.

A CORACIPONDILINT of the CkurtA Review proposes the

are orders of Dominican., Pasaionistsolia, in the Church
of Rome. He recommends special conciliation sorriest

RINGWOOD.

FATAL AOCIDZICT DT A REAPING MACHIN&
A end accident has occurred to • young men named
William Ferrett, in the employ of Mr. Henry Bone.
of Avon farm, near this town. It appears that be
was reaping a field of wheat with a machine, when
the horse attached to it suddenly became restive, and
in his endeavours to menage it, the young man's
foot either slipped, or be wail knocked down by the
animal, and in falling he unfortunately came in con-
tact with the knives attached to the machine, by
which one of his arms and shoulder were eat in •
frightful manner, laying bare the tendons of the
limb. Every attention that medical skill could
devise was pelt to the awe, but in a few days
mortitkation set in, and soon terminated his md.
wings. We understand the deceased had been
cautioned against putting the horse to the machine
aa not being sufficiently steady for the purpose..
The caution, however, seems unfortunately to have
been disregarded, and the life of the young man,
who was only 21 years of age, has thus been semi-
aced.

to the possession of some house property in Tris.

are inclined to recognise the latter, oonsequently the
former, Cooke, every now and then seizes the gooda

tweeen the parties is the result. Not long nee, g
' from Dudley, nearly killed a taunt
named Brindwortli, with • bludgeon, and hid g
month OD the treadmill at Devizes gaol for it. On
Wednesday last, Cooke, with • party of Bridal
roughs and a bowie and cart. visited Trowbridge
to seise some goods. He and his men lay in ambush
between five and six &m., watched the husband go
out to work, rushed into the house, fastened the
stair-door, and kept the wife and children up while
the furniture of the lower part of the hutrie wag
seized and taken away in a cart. They returned
and attempted • similar caper at another house, but
by this time the neighbourhood was in an uproar,
and the mak portion of the community haring got,
to their work, only the women were left behold,
and they turned out es WWI( and literally bearded
the lion in his den, one woman seizing Cooke by
his beard, whilst the rest belaboured him. Ins

had to make • precipitate retreat. On Thursday
evening he returned, and went into a bowie to make

went upstairs, and got upon the roof to escape, but
be no sooner showed himself than • shower of stones
and brickbats was thrown at him, and he tram
seriously cut and bruised; the only wonder is that
he was not killed, for be had to crawl on his basis
and knees to avoid falling off, and finally took
• refuge behind a chimney Mack from the fury of his
assailants for a good hour, but they surrounded the
house, and pelted him mercilessly. The police was
sent for, and contrived to get him away, or be
would have been killed. As the rival claimants are
at law in the dispute, it would be far wiser for
Cooke to await the issue rather than keep up Mu
