*tent. Il'he appointment of Mr. Coanzx to the '
office of President of the Board of Trade is at
once a bold and sagacious act of justice on the
part of Lord I'aussicarox ; it is a fitting recogui
tion of great talents and extraordinary energy by
which the country has gained immensely ,
in prosperity and contentment; while the
elevation of this distinguished man speaks more
decidedly than anything else for the reality of
the liberal principles which Lord PALMERSTON
brings with him on bis fresh accession to
power. It is only to be hoped that on
his arrival in this country, Mr. CoeneN himself
will interpose no obstacle to the honour which
awaits him, with the approbation of his Sove-
reign, of serving his country in that new and
1 elevated sphere of influence to which his popu-
larity and great qualities have at length exalted
1 him. _ .

married woman, and who has been in prison ten times,
was summoned for uttering profane language. I'. C.
Perry stated that on the night above named he heard
defendant, in the company of Vickers, using the fouleA
language. Defendant herself asked the bench to
implison her for two year., a. she wanted to be not of
sight, and the magistrates would not do right in con,
nutting her for a less time. On being sentenced to 7
days' imprisonment, she Mill she would not go for so
short a time, and had to be removed by force.—Jamea
Farr, of Merriott, who did not appear, was summoned
for leaving his cart mid horse unattentlid in the public
street. Superintendent l'ouucy said he found defen-
dant's horse and wagon placed atrkizs the thoroughfare,
and blocking the way near Mrs. Stone's, on Saturday
afternoon. No one appeared to take charge of the horse

While we have a pleasant and genial future to
contemplate with respect to the domestic policy
of Lord PALMERSTON'S Administration, the pros-
pect in regard to our foreign relations and the
maintenance of peace is certainly not leas satis-
factory. It is well that Lord DERBY has been
forced to surrender the helm, since a perusal of
the correspondence between the Governments of
England and Austria especially, shows ;deinly
enough that we were rapidly drifting into war—
a war which, at least, must have been most disas-
trous to this country. To sympathise with free-
dom abroad, and to maintain in their integrity
the friendship and alliance of France, is a pro-
ceeding evidently uncongenial with the tastes of
a Tory Cabinet—a work plainly unsuited to
their character and talents; and yet upon an
honest and fearless adhesion to resolutions like
these depends, in all probability, the peace of
Europe. These great leaders of the Liberal
party have therefore done well to wrest power
from the hands of Lord DERBY, as a man in
whom, to say the least, the best interests of this
country were by no means safe : they have done
so with a determination of purpose, and in a
manly, straightforward way, which command
even the respect of their fallen antagonists;
while this uncompromising and successful step is
an assurance to the country of the great urgency,
if not the imminent danger of the crisis, as it
presented itself to the minds of the great states-
men who have recently become 11ER MAJESTY'S
advisers. If we mistake not, these distinguished
chiefs of the Liberal party will live to receive
the warm and grateful thanks of the United
Kingdom as much for their intrepidity in oust-
ing the late Cabinet, u for the generous and
patriotic feelings which have already led to the
sinking of differences, and promise the formation
into a strong and united party of all who profess
to be guided by Liberal principles.

DORCHLSTER PITCHED CORN MARKET, SMUtthy.
—The dull tone of Mark-lane as well u of the
. . . .

---
country markets during the week, coupled with the
very forcing weather, caused millers and dealers to
be very (manna in making purchases of wheat to-
day ; however, farmers were unwilling to submit to
the terms offered, therefore we are unable to give
any quotations. Barley and oats were in slow
demand.

MONTHLY SALE.—On Salinity St the monthly

the oppurtcnity or congratulating the members upon
the fact that, although their party was but small,
there was an improvement. 'the society was but as
yet in its infancy, and he hoped that erety, mous
would attend it. At five o'clock. the chair
was
vacated, and, headed by the band, the weathers pro.
eceded to the house of the rector, where several
times were played, and the rcv, gentleman made his
appearance and offered a few remarks to them.
They then returned, awl brought up in front of the
residence of It. M. Randall. Esq. ; after the per.
formance of some music by the band, three hearty
cheers were given for the worthy gentleman and his
. family. Shortly afterwards the club assembled on the
green allotted fur dancing, which was kept up with
much spirit until after nine o'clock. The happy

kind. The Misses Henry acquitted themselves

and power, elicited much interest, and drew forth

prisoner interfered and prevented him doing so. Fined

WEDNESDAY.—Before the Mayor.—Thoreas Farrier
was charged by l'.C. Groves with attempting tv pees over
the pay bridge to Hainworthy without paying the toll;
and on the officer speaking to him he drew a knife from
his pocket, and said he would run the officer or anyone
else through if they prevented him from passing through
the gate. He was then taken into custody. The Mayor
gave lum a reprimand, and discharged him by paying
the costs.
THlltliDAT.—Before the Mayor, and • fall bench of
Magistrates. —Joseph Hiseroft was summoned on the in-
formation of Mr. Superintendent Inkpen, for exposing
for sale a quantity of small fish called Base, less than
12 inches in length. The defendant sent • little girl by
the name of Maria Redly to sell the flsk ; but having
admitted his guilt, the Mayor said he had no alternative
than but to inflict a fine of 20a.' and costs. Paid.
Richard Hide was summoned for behaving in a vio-
lent and disorderly manner, by shooting and knocking
at the door of Thome, Perell. It appears from the
statement of the prisoner that it was an old family
grievance, and he being the worm for liquor, was the
cause of the disturbance complained of. He was bound
over in his own reougnizance to keep the peace for six
months.
Louisa Wise, a prostitute, was summoned on the
information of P. C. Ileaken, for being drunk and dis-
orderly on the Saturday night previous. She did not

hension. Sims was brought up on Friday, aad own-
witted to Poole gaol for '2l days' hard labour.

orderly. Reprimanded and discharged.

CRANBORNK
Prrry SESSIONS. —Thursday, June 16.—(Before H.
C. &est and Edward Caatleinan, Eaqrs.)
Edward Scutt, Eh &aft, and George LaiekAast. all of
Crauborne. labourer., were convicted of ettempting to
take certain Bah called trout, in a certain river at
well, belonging to the private right of fishery of Hector
Henna, Esq. Upon recommendation of complainant
defendants were lined the co-.ti only.
Thoutrie Adams, of Ca anhorne, tailor, was summoned
by Martha Ellen Selwood to show Cause why lie should
not lie adjudged the father of her illegitimate child. Mr.
F. W. Freeman, of Wtinborne, attended for the defence,
and, it appeared, was instructed to undign the character
of defendant. which utterly failed, the M.igistrates sta-
ting that they considered the defence atrocious ; they
then made an order on defendant for the usual contri-
bution and COPta.
George Burekw, a sturdy young labourer of Goreage,
was summoned by Mary Oxford, • poor half-witted
creature, boiling a most miserable looking baby in her
arms, and who bad lately been au inuute of Craiihorne
and Wiinbome Union, to show cause why lie should
not be adjudged the father of her chid. The poor
creature hewing no means, Mr. F. W. Freeman under-
took to conduct her case gratuitously. The curruberati se
evidence was but slight, but defendant was hunanione6
as a witness. Mr. 11. F. Johns, of Ringwood, appeared
for defendant, and objected to defendant being celled
upon to answer any questions tending to criminate
himself; and, after being sworn and questioned be
refused, upon the advice of his attorney, to answer.
The Magistrates dismissed the case. Mr. Freeman then
applied for a second summons, and the Megistrates, after
SOUIC consideration, granted it.
Horros.—The annual festival of the Horton Friendly
Society took place on Thuradsy last. After proceeding
to church and bearing a good discourage from the Rev.
Mr. Case, the rector, the member-a, preceded by a band
of music, marched back to the Horton Inn, a distance
of a mile and half, and under a large marquee from
Poole all sat down to an excellent dinner provided by
Mr. Lockycr. The neighbouring farmers appear to
have turned their becks entirely upon this old established
club, the largest local club in the county, the funds
amounting to over £1,1500. We regret to say that
drunkenness, a sorry feature in • Friendly Society, WU
as usual very prevalent towards the close of the day; if
this could be avoided no doubt the club would be
patronised by Lord Shaftesbury's tenantry in &different
way to what it appears to be at present, when there
would be less cause for complaint on the more of want
of support.

BRAIDING BY STRAW-1 have just been favoured
with the sight of a working model for braiding fish-
ing nets of every description, by power. It is, I be-
lieve, calculated to produce about 150 to 200 yards
of net per day, of a much superior quality to that
made by the hand-loom at present u.eil in England
and Scotland, and which will not produce above 25
to 30 yards per day. This invention must effect a
complete revolution in that important branch of
trade, connected with the fisheries. The inventor
is J. B. Film, Eal„ Perry Street Works, near
Chard, a gentleman of practical experience who will
patent it Li early as possible, and I understand that
the well known tine of Mears. Joseph Gundry and
Co., Bridport, will be the first of the trade to braid
by power, having already made an arrangement with
the inventor for the first machines. Considering
this information would be interesting to all. I am.
