CO-PARTNERSLIIP IN AGRICULTURE.
At my harvest supper In August, 1871, I informed
my labourers that, cnmmenoing from kilohardens, 1872.
I should take them Into • qsalified partnerabip, paying
them their ordinary waged, but dividing between capital
and labour any surplus above the turn required to pay
10 per Gent. (5 pr cent. as Internet and IS per cent, ma
profit) on the eiwital inves'ed in the bin-lutes ; or, in
ether words, that I should tske half such surplus, and
&vide the ether half among those who had laboured
on the farm the whole of the pretreding twelve mouths.

RAILWAY ROBBERY IN SPAIN.

The Andalusian mail train was recently stopped and
robbed by brigands. A little before eight o'olook a
few railway labourers were warming themselves round
a fire they had kindled near tee bridge of Bede Dane,
when they were suddenly surprised by a party of about
50 men, all well armed. With the greatest possible
ocoloess, they ordered them to lift up the rails, us log
they intended to rob the mail train at that spot. The
workmen at first refused but ultimately yielded to
have their own lives, which wore seriously menaced.
They lifted • few of the rails, and had hardly WOW.
'dished the uopleuant task wine the whistle of the
train was heard. The danger decal being displayed, the
train stopped just before arriving at the broken point.
The momtot it stopped, 15 or 20 of the robbers mounted
the oarriages and forbade the paueegers to move from
their seat., telling them that nrituer their persons nor
their pluses would be touched If they complied, but if
they attempted to move they would be killed. The
man who appeared to b 3 the chief then called for the
guard of the train and demanded to be abown tho place
where the money of the compary was stowed. It was
evideot from this that they knew beforehand that the
-company were having money tent up to Madrid in this
traln. There was no remedy but to dells, r it up, as
it'so a few boxes of specie which w,re on freight. The
"haul" was to the extent of £4,000 to £5,000. One
of the paesugers, who ventured t, put Ira head out of
the cordage window, receiviai • bayonet thrust in the
face bat the Ir kir, was slight. With this excuptioa
nobody was burs. To the out:ohne of unto of the
prissengera is to whether they were Carliat., one of the
party replied. "No; but we sro Intronalgentes I" I
net scarcely say that the political party who answer
to that name disavow all connection with the Andalu-
I elan brigands, arid it ceoms generally admitted that the
I latter were merely joking when they pretended to be-
what Roque llama and chl reuse call " the
of the (wore." After tie , y had secured the
partylong to
money, a horrible intention seems to hey: entered their
teads—nuncly, that of dcatroymg the lows of ell the
ruseogers by driving the train orcr the bridge into the
river. It is said that nothing but the *truest pleading
of the guard and the sreeine-driver rimmed them to
desist front this it ton list'. They rhea shads off with
their booty. The terrified labourers repaired the line,
and the eras procteeded on its way to Madrid, where

Our seed trade remains in mach the position
noted in our last, the business doing being very
limited. Clover seeds of all kinds are at present quite
neglected. Occasional orders drop in for winter tares,
which are executed at full rates ; the supply is now very
nearly exhausted. Canary seed, notwithstanding its
high price, continues in good requi.st. For hemp seed
we have a moderate demand. White =quit shows
no change since our last ; brown seed, however, meets
with an improved inquiry. Windsor beans are scarce,
and eXperienee a ready sale. Of longpods the samples
offering are very fair in quality, and the prices asked
moderate. English linseed now excites more attention.
Rape ,c.l keeps steady at the low values lately reached.

We have hail a quiet week, and buyers who have
fairly stockel themselves for a short time will now do
their best to keep out of the market for a time, fearing
to ixeite holders if they show any anxiety to increase
their present purchases. We should not be surprised
if the effects of this were to MUM a slight shading off
of prices for the time, followed shortly, however, we

SECOND COURT.—Weompir.
(Before Mr. 0. W. Ferrer.)

ARSAULT ON • GIRL AT BRIDPORT.
Henry Williams, 49, mason, was indicted for indecently
assaulting and ill-treating Matilda Simmons, at Bridport,
on 3rd September. Mr. Templer was for the prosecution.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, and said be was very sorry,
and hoped the magistrate would be as lenient as be could.
It was his tint offence, and he hoped he should never
come before • court again.
The /earned magistrate called Dr. Moses, and inquired
of him the amount of injury the girl bad sustained.
In sentencing prisoner, Mr. Ferrer said: You have
pleaded guilty to an indecent assault upon this girl who
Is just over 12. You would have been liable to even •
more severe punishment than will be indicted had it not
been that she had just passed that age. It is a very
grievous offence. You have placed testimonials before the
Court of your honesty and sobriety. I believe that before
the magistrates you stated you were drunk. If that were
so it is no sort of excuse for this or any other crime. This
is an offence that must be stopped. It is perfectly
monstrous that girls should be subjected to such
treatment as that to which you have subjected her. It
seems, however, from what I bear from the doctor, that
probably the girl was mistaken in supposing you succeeded
in your attempt, but it was • grievous assualt, ant you
will receive a severe punishment, and if you come again
the consequences will be more seriolia The sentence of
the court is that you be imprisoned and kept to hard
labour for 12 calendar mouths.

PAROCHIAL POPItS.

The Earl of Portsmouth, speaking at the Winkleigh

Public Worship Bill a Bill to put down sacerdotalism. In
plain Anglo-Saxon it was a Bill to put down Parochial
Popes. Many of the clergy had arrogated to themselves
a sort of infallibility, putting themselves above public
opinion. The ilebate on the Bill convinced him more
than ever that the State wag the bulwark of Protestantism,
of free thought, and of religious liberty. A clergy free

COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE BOARDS.
Mr. C. S. Read, Parliamentary Secretary to the
Local Government Board,
.presided at a meeting of the
Norfolk Chamber of Agriculture on Saturday. He
expressed an opinion in tavour of the establishment of
representative boards in counties. These bodies might
take up the question of county bridges, the manage-
ment of county lunatics, weights and weasures, the
Health Acts the Adulteration Act, and, of course, also
the cattle disease question. He did not see why they
should not manage roads as well. There would never
be any improvement in the system of local taxation
without good representative county boards.

DORCHESTER OCTOBER SHEEP PAIL

The October fair wu held to-day (Monday), when about
6,000 sheep and lambi were penned. The weather was
very bad, and the attendance was not
40 large as it other
wise would have been. The trade, however, showed an
Improvement of Is. tok ahead over recent fairs, although
sales dragged rather owing to the small attendance. Mr.
Ensor submitted about 1,50 e to auction, and the price,
realised were—Horn ewes, 35e. to 6; Down ewes,

CATTLE.

BRISTOL, TIIIIRSDAY.—Thera was a shorter
supply of beef, and somewhat active trade, which
made prices firmer. Best sorts, 785. to 80, ; middling,
695. to 735. Mutton plentiful, and trade quiet. Best
wethers ,9d., heavy ewes, 7d. There were 1,200
store cattle on offer, and a slow trade was done at
last week's rum About 1,000 pigs on offer. Bacon,
Its. 3d. ; porkers, its. 6d.
METROPOLITAN, TIIITRSDAY.—We have a
shorter supply of beasts and more favourable weather,
consequently a clearance is readily effected at fully
Monday's quotations, and in a few instances they have
been exceeded. The number of seeep also is not
quite so large as last week. The trade is not very
brisk, but prices remain unaltered. Good calves are
scarce and dear. There are 45 English and 65
Dutch milch Lows on offer; trade is dull at late rates.
Our foreign supply consists of 570 beasts, 4,480 sheep,
260 calves.

111 E DiMAG-ETO TDE DAL

The DIPUTY Ninon reported that, through the action
of the tide a large hole had been washed out of the dens.
No time was to be lost, and he ordered - and the iirder was
approved by the Mayor --the soveyor to threw a qua=
of stone into the opening immediately Sir John
had been applied to. had sent a person to investigate, and
the report wad unfavourable: he recommended that a
quantity of roach stone, in as large blocks as possible, be
thrown down, but it was feared it would be an expansive
affair

Some one stated that about C5O expense bad been
incurred.
A discussion ensued 2,1 to whether the Msvoa and
Drury MAYOR were justified in ordering such an outlay
without consulting the CutimiL Mr. Webb and Mr.
Groves thought the Council should have been called
together, Mr. G. Mot supported what bad been done, the
Town Clerk alao stating the matter was one of emergency.
Mr. Aylesbury said there had been rumours out of doors
that for a long tune the dam had not been looked after,
and that if precautions had been taken, this mischief
would not have occurred

The Town Clerk said Mr. Whateley Eliot hat given the
surveyor special instructions not to allow a day to pass
without tilling up any of the rubble that might be displaced
by the tide.
After some converaation, the DEPUTY MAYOII said that
the Mayor and himself felt it WWI right to protect the
property of the town by the expenditure of a few pounds.
It would not be prudent to allow the three days to elapse
that are required for a legal notice of a Council meeting.
Mr. Ileum; and Mr. WElia thought a special Council
meeting should have been culled, which could have been
done in half-an-hour.
