W. C. lambert, Eq., chairman; D. F. G. Dalton,
and Willet L Adye, Esp., and the Rev.. Carr J.
Glyn and John H. Austin.)—

Gars LAWll.—Heary Proolty.—The Court now
sat as Commissioners to hear the cue of Mr. Charles
Viney, of Pottern farm, Verwood, who was sum-
moned by the surveyor of taxes, Mr. Herd, to show
cause why he should not be surcharged in the penalty
of £2O for sporting without a certihcate. Mr. Johns,
of Ringwood, appeared for Mr. Viney ; but the sur-
veyor objected to his appearing, as being contrary to
the Act of Parliament, and a long argument ensued.
At length the Commissioner, W. C. Lambert, Eeq.,
ruled that Mr. Johns should be heard. —Thonias
Burt, gamekeeper on the manor of William Rolls
Fryer, Esq., of Lytchet, proved seeing appellant
with a gun in pursuit of partridges.—Mr. Johns
caned yr. Viney's brother, who midis at Fording-
bridge, who swore that it was he who was out on
the day in question, and shut at • rabbit. —A wit-
ness, named Brown, also from Fordingbridge, was
also called to prove that appellant did not shoot;
but as witnesses were ordered out of court, the wit-
ness Brown appeared to have a bad memory and
confused. The Commissioner said he was of opinion
the case was proved, and the defembuit would be
surcharged to the full amount of £2O. Mr. Johns
said be would beg to give notice of appeal to the
sessions.

karran.—An extraordinary increase in the num-
ber of volunteers has taken place within the last few
days in this city. More than lOU young men, be-
longing chiefly to the astisan class, have memorialized
the committee, signifying their willingness to be en-
rolled, but stating that they were unable to pay for
their rifle and accoutrements. To show their sin-
cerity, however, they said they were quite ready to
pay out of their narrow means the yearly subscrip-
tion of 10s., provided some means could be adopted
for providing them with arms and accoutrements.
The cominitte have determined to accept the offer of
these young men, and are relying upon the volun-
tary contributions of wealthy and patriotic persons to
defray the cost of the outfit, which will amount to
upwards of £5OO.

MELANCHOLY DEATH.—An inquest was held oil
Tuesday last, before F. T. Johns, Esq., coroner,
and a highly respectable jury, on the body of Wil-
liam Furnell, a gentleman aged 70, living retired in
Oak Mendow, in this town, and formerly a timber
merchant of Poole. It appeared from the evidence
of Mrs. Furnell (to whom the deceased was lately
married) and the servant girl, that the old gentleman
was in the habit of keeping several loaded pistols in
the house, and that he was constantly examining
them; that on the day previously (Monday), about
eleven o'clock, he went up•stairs to his dressing.
room to dress for a walk, Mrs. Furnell being in the
kitchen giving directions to the servant for the din-
ner. He hail been gone but a few minutes when
they heard the report of the pistol, and Mrs. Fur-
nell ran up-stairs and found him fallen into a char
with his eyes shut, but on her taking hold of him
he pressed her hand and died instantly. The ball
appeared to have touched the heart. The deceased
was of a rather eccentric and morbid disposition,
but no reasons could be suggested as to the cause of
his committing the rash act. The pistol must have
been discharged close to the body, as the shirt was
set on fire by the powder. The demand's waistcoat
was open. There was very little blood from the
wound. The jury retured a verdict "that the de-
ceased shot himself, but there was no evidessos as to
his state of mind at the time."

THE GREAT EASTERN.

Tht following is the report of the Surveyors appointed
to examine the ship at Holyhead, for the purpose of as-
certaining whether the contract to fit her forsea had been
honestly carried out :

"Great-Eastern Steamship, Holyhead, Oct. 18.
Gentlemen,—ln compliance with your request, MI
have made a complete survey of the Great Eastern, but,
not haring had time to prepare our detailed report, we
beg to submit the following remarks upon the points re-
ferred to in your letter, and some others which we think
It important you should bring under the corunderation of
the Baird :

With reference to the intimation that Mr. Russell,
alleges that his contract is completed, we mark that the
bull of the ship to which our sin vey has been specially
directed (exclusive of the engines) is not completed either
as to the ' general scope' or the 'details of the contract,'
as • first-class passenger ship, such as those of Cunard's
line or the Royal West India Mail Company, and that,
in her present state, it would be imprudent to send her
to sea on a lengthened voyage.
"We are unable at present to arrive at • definite opi-
nion as to the cost of the works necessary forthe comple-
tion of the ship in all respects in accordance with the
contract. The amount must be very large. We are un-
able to state the amount of damages consequent on the
delay in sending her to sea.
'• We may remark generally, that, with the exception
of a few cabins, the accommodations are by no means
elual to the requirements of • first-class passenger steam-
er, such as Cunard's line or the Royal West India Mail
steamers, but are very inferior—materials, workmanship,
and furniture.
. . _ . .

" The accommodation for the officers and crew is by
no means such as ought to have been provided and is re-
quired by the contract.
"The decks are not tight, and a great deal of
inferior material and workmanship has been used in
them.

"There is no heating apparatus for warming the ea
bins in winter.
"There is a considerable amount of work which is ab-
solutely necessary to be performed before the ship can be
trusted on a lengthened voyage across the Atlantic,
which work would require a considerable time to exe-
cute in an efficient manner, and, even with this done
the ship would not be what the contract requires her to
be; and deficiencies in other respects would be • con-
stant source of expense and annoyance to the cow-
PanY•
"We are, Gentlemen, your obedient servants,

POOLE VOLUNTILER RIFLE CORPS.—The uumber
of volunteers necessary to form a corps have DOW
enrolled themselves, upwards of 50 members finding
their own equipments. Several gentlemen have found
willing audible substitutes, and have felt too happ
too assist in ins necessary outlay. We
that Mr. W. Pearce. of the Poole foundry, has pro-
mised to equip four, and Messrs. Belbsn two vo-
lunteers, and several other gentlemen have inti-
mated their intention of equipping persons in their
service.

RAILWAY TO POOLK ; AND FROM PooLE TO

tors some time since, resolved to give the inhabitants
of Poole (with the various interests connected with
it), as also the people of Bournemouth, an opportu-
nity of perfecting their railway cammunication, and
we are happy tale able to announce that not only
have the surveys been completed, but the deposits
made with the Clerks of the Pesos for Poole and

DORCHESTER TOWN COUNCIL

A meeting of this body took place yesterday (Mon-
day.) Present, M. Devenish (Mayor), Aldermen
Mantleld and Curme, Councillors Andrews, Brum-,
Lock, Galpin, Hodges, Stanton, Bennett, Mason,
Proud, and Aldridge.

GAS MEASURES.
The first businese gone into was the consideration
of the expediency of adopting within this borough
the Act of the last session of Parliament for regula-
ting the measures used in the sale of gas.
Mr. LOCK, who had put the subject on the paper,
read various extracts hum the Act, explained its
provisions and concluded by moving that the Act be
adopted.—A somewhat lengthy diactunion ensued, in
the course of which Mr. Andrews urged that more
time was required in order to allow the Council pro-
perly to digest the matter, and the question was ulti-
mately referred to the General Purposes Committee
to report upon it at an early opportunity.

MIDNINS. MONDZY AND BARMY' LEASE.

The next thing was to consider the terms under
which Mr. Edward Mondey and the representative
of the late Mr. John Barnes held the premises, for-
merly the hospital garden, under the CounciL —This
subject occupied a great deal of time, Mr. Andrews
showing that the Council were quite uncertain as to
their position with reference to this property—
whether Mr. Mondey held under a lease of twenty•
one years, which would be nearly expired, or whether
he held for thirty-one years. He was very anxious
that these doulite should be cleared up, and that jus-
tice should be done both to the lemon and the Cor-
poration. Mr. Gilpin and other members coincided
with Mr. Andrews in his desire, and it was ultima-
tely determined to refer the matter to the General
Pui_posss Committee.
The Council then resolved themselves into a

GIMAT FIRE IN Be Le/inv.—Belfast is becoming
notorious for the number of fires that have taken place
there of late. The telegraph brings word that Messrs.
Howey and Co's. printworks at Old Park took tire on
Wednesday evening about 9 o'clock. The entire build-
ings were burnt to the ground. The fire raged with
great fury for several hours. The damage done is
roughly estimated at about £25,000.

THE HARVEST IN Tilt WEST. A letter from the
county of Mayo giro the following estimate of the re-
turn of the crops in that remote district :—•• The
greater portion of the corn is still in the fielda, and a
good deal uncut, which moat have been injured by the
gale of the Bth inst. Wheat will be about an average,—
short in the straw, and not so heavy as usual in the
head. Oats are abort in the straw, but the head
very good. The same applies to barley. Flax, owing to
want of rain, is miserably short in the stalk, flay ix
certainly a short crop, selling already as high as Li per
ton, the usual price being 306. to Lt. 'lle • tuyaterioua
blight' ho, paid its annual visit, and has varied its
operations this !minion. It has generally this year con•
tined its attacks to the leaf, not extending to the stalk,
and hardly to the tuber, but, with • meameric indurmico
the moment it touched the leaf it stopped the grew tla of
the potato ; the consequence is that generally, where the
attack was early in August, the tubers are nut larger
then potatoes sold for seed, and are wanting in that
quality of dryness known as 'mealy,' having • soapy
appearance when boiled. In the west of this county the
blight appeared early, and though in most places the
leaves are all withered, leaving the haulm naked and
green, yet in some place • new phase appeared—naniely
the top of the stalk commencing a second growth., and
thus cawing a new growth of the tuber, which does not
at all improve it. The crop will be less than usual by
one-thirtl to one-half, but the grain crop will, to some
extent, make up the deficiency. Turnips antlered a
great deal from drought, but latterly have made much
progress. It is to be regretted that their cultivation is
unn!tly confined to large fanners, the small landholders
having gone back to the potato, with all its chances of
failure."

gate. Deceased was a blacksmith, in the employ of
Mr. Buckiagham, in the parish of Poughill. On
the 30th ult., Thome' Searle went to Mr. Bucking-
ham's shop, where he saw Woodgate. Searle asked
Woodgate for some mils, but he returned no answer,
1 and he then saw him take a poker fmm the fire. It
was sharp at one end, and red hot. Woodgate's back
was towards Soule ; who, however, saw him point
the poker towards himself, and some smoke imam
from him. He asked him what he was about, but
he returned no answer; Woodgate then put the
poker into the Sr. again, and commenced blowing
the bellow.. Statle afterwards saw that there were
bent holes in his waistcoat and trousers. Notwith-
standing this, he walked away very quietly, merely
saying to Mr. Brown, a farmer, who was standing
at the door of the Rose and Drown Inn, that a bail
job had happened at the blacksmith's shop—the old
Gayer (by which name the deceased was well known),
had ran a red hot iron into himself. When Mr.
Brown arrived Woodgate was again heating the
poker. Mr. Brown caught hold of him, and he fell
exhausted into his arms. There were four wounds
in his abdomen, which had been made by the red
hot poker. Mr. Roddy, surgeon, was sent for; and
he advised his removal to the Devon and Exeter
Hospital, where he was removed the same evening;
and died on Thursday night from the injuries he
had whew. When asked why he did it, he said
—"For the want of the grace of God." The evi-
dance went to prove that the deceased was not

TErrorAi.tsis.—On Thursday evening a lecture
on the subject of "Total Abstinence from all Intoxi-
cating Drinks" was delivered at the National School-
rooms by the Rev. F. W. Taylder. The chair was
occupied by W. Colbourne, Esq., who after a few
brief remarks introduced the lecturer. This gen-
tleman rivetted the attention of his audi-
ence by a powerful address on the subject, mainly
aiming at the popular objections raised to teetotal-
ism. The room was well tilled on the occasion, and
the subject appears to be becoming one of considera-
ble attraction in the town.

BLACKBURN.

There are two companies belonging to the volunteer
rine corps in this town, the 2nd and 3rd Lancashire. The
former is composed of those whofind their own arms and
accoutremente, and numbers nearly 50 members, and the
sentission, number will soon be filled up. The 3rd Lan-
cashire Couipany, composed chiefly of those who are in
whole or in part equipped from the funds liberally sub-
sorbed for the purpose, is now complete. Mr. Thomas
Lund has been appointed captain, Mr. William Harrison
lieutenant, and Mr. James Johnson ensign to the 2nd
company; while for the 3rd Mr. J. G. Potter has been
elected captain, Mr. Arthur Robinson lieutenant, and
Mr. John Eccles ensign.

Vampshire.

The new Military Hod:dal at Netley, about four
miles month of fionthaniptan, is rapidly approaching
completion. The denature occupies 10 acres of
ground, is nearly a quarter of a mile in length, as
Urge as the Crystal Pdam, and six times as large as
Guy's HoepitaL The building is in the decorated
Italian style of architecture, is four stories high, 216
feet wide, with a dome-shaped campanile rising
above it to the height of 150 feet, and two main
wings, each of three stories, 600 feet long and 70
feet high; each floor or story has 12 wards, 10 of
which are intended to accommodate 9 and two of
them 16 patients. Already £200,000 has been ex-
pended in the construction of this hospital, and it is
expected as much more will be required to finish the
undertaking and lay out the 193 acres of ground
attached to it with ganlens and terraces for the Use
of the patients. The hospital when complete will
accommodate between 1,000 and 2,000 patients, and
will surpass in all respect. any other institution of
the kind in the world.

they will shortly commence finog practice, • site for a

inspector. It is somewhat of a reflection on the town
that with nearly, if not quite, 40,000, this patriotic
corps should uot be able to master in larger num-
bers.

in one of England's colonies; we each, on an average,
export close upon no° sterling, the greater part to the
mother co-intry—you in England ought best to know
what we import. We can muster something like
10,000 weapons, muskets, rifles, &c.; as to ammunition,
we have no powder, unless it is for blasting purposes;
nine out of ten can travel, that is to say, walk. Al miles
a-day :we can camp out and carry our own bedding or
blankets; in our chief town we have moveable property
worth £10,000,000, houses, gardens, &c., that have cost
us twice as much, but we are so ill-protected that 1,000
men, similar to Englishmen, could levy £5,000,000 from
us as a ransom, or could do our property damage to the
extent of C 0,000.000. Eteskle4 which, there is shipping
and property of England always in Hobson's Bay to the
extent of millions. We do not wish to beg—what we
need we can pay for. All we ask from the home Go-
vernment is, say, 50.000 or 100,000 rifles with bayonets
and ammunition. Your War Minister may draw upon
us for the amount. We will not dishonour his draught.

Sanders, of Her Itajedy's Indian Army, kiss accepted
the command of the Ana Rile Corps Company, Birming-
ham, which is now raised; and the second is in pro-
cess of formation. In the city of Coventry upwards of
70 men have enrolled themselves, and the Hon. Colonel
Scott, late of the Scots Fusileers, colonel°, the regiment,
takes the temporary rnnimusd of them. Another coin-
pear is being formed at Rugby. Captain Hobbs, the
inspector appointed by the Horse Guards, has visited
the proposed practice-grounds at the three places, and
conditionally reported in their favour, l'pon his sug-
gestion being carried out, the corps will oontinenee drill,
and there is no doubt that a considerable force will be
raised in the county. It is anticipated that a strong
division will be raised at Solihull and Knowle, the dis-
tricts between Birmingham and Warwick; it remains
for that town, Leamington and Stratford, to contribute
their share of this county volunteer force.

RUSSIA.

A letter received in Paris from St. Petersburg, dated
August 30, says :—" I have WC n it stated in sonic
German journala that the Russian Cabinet insists on
the restoration of the Prince% of Central Italy. It is
not so ;of this I can assure you. The solution which
would please our Cabinet beet would be, first, the
annexation of the Duchies to Piedmont, or, if not, the
creation of a kingdom of Etruria under Prince Napo-
leon; but, under any circumstances, the regulation of
the Italian question by a Cones,'', in conformity with
the wishes of the Italian people."
The Emperor has decided that, for the future, the
prisoners sent to Siberia alien be divided into four cate-
wirier—the banished convieta ; the banished colonists ;
the exiles who, after their time has expired, are
allowed to reside there; and the persons sent to Siberia
for State reasons.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

FRIDAY, Sam 16.—The supply of new hops both
from Sussex and Kent, has become extensive. Good
and fine samples are in fair .mest, at full price.; but
other kinds move off slowly. Yearlings and old hops
continue to give way in price. The Duty is called
£266,000.—New Mid and East Kent pockets, £4 Os. to
£6 Os. ; new Weald of Kents, £3 ris. to £4 Os.; and new
Sussex, LI to VA 12s. per cwt.
The fine weather of the past week has materially
assisted the picking of the new growth, and as far as an
opinion can be formed by the pockets which have
arrived in the Borough, the growth promises to be
unusually excellent. The market at present from the
early supply is heavy, and the currency cannot be con-
sidered as re-established. The Weald of Kenta sold
have realised from 635. to 705., and the Sussex from
fithi. to Csli. Scarcely any Mid or East Kent* or Farn-
ham' have as yet come up. Duty 1U50,01.10.

WILTON SHIM' FA IR.—The Wilton great autumn
sheep fair took place on Monday, and was the
largest ever seen at that place. There were upwards
of 100,000 sheep penned—about 1,000 more than
last year—and the fair field lying close to two lines
of railway, numbers of dealers were in attendance
from distant parts of the county. The high rate@
demanded by breeders at the opening of the fair
tended somewhat to check business, but as the
morning advanced a "live and let live" understand-
ing was come to, and at mid-day there were but few
pens which had not changed hands. Prices ruled
about 2s per head higher than at Britford : some
reported the advance at 2s. on ewes, and 3s. on
lambs. Quotations may be thus given :—Ewes, 30s.
to 40s. ; wethers, 345. to 445. ; him* 265. to 365. ;
but it will be seen below that prime lots realized
more money. The competition for the two silver
cups offered by the Earl of Pembroke, for the
one hundred best ewes and the one hundred
best wether lambs, was extremely close, especially
in the last named clan, in which there was no fewer
than seven entries. The lambs belonging to Mr.
Pinckney, of Berwick, and Mr. Shitler, of Bishop--
stone, were mo equally matched, that they had to be
placed in contiguous pens before the judges could
decide on their merits. The prize was eventually
awarded to Mr. Pinckey, whose lambs fetched 465.
a head. Those of Mr. Shitler, and Mr. John Wood-
cock, of Netherhampton, were highly commended;
whilst • pen belonging to Major Heatheote were
commended. A noteworthy fact is that • pen
belonging to Mr. Bennett, of Chilmark, and which
was not noticed in the judges' award, realised a
shilling per head more than those of Mr. Shitler—
namely 4.53. Mr. Bennett succeeded in carrying off
the prize for ewes, and well he deserved it, for a
finer pen of animals have seldom been seen. They
realized 60s. per head. Mr. Harding, of &a
farm, Stourton, obtained 565. per head for 100 four.
tooth sheep, and a pen of stock two-teeths belonging
to Mr. Saunders changed hands at 445. The judges
were Mr. T. H. Saunders, of Watereombe, Dorset,
Mr. J. F. Hart, of Fiaherton Delamere, and Mr.
James Futcher, jun., of Fovant. With respect to
rams and ram lambs, there was a smaller show than
usual, but we observed a fine pen belonging to Mr.
Olding, of Batfin, which sold and let readily at good
prices. There was a fair show of cattle, and high
prices were demanded. The horse fair was tolerably
well attended, and the few good animals on offer
sold quickly at fair prices. There was a large show
of agricultural implements, including one of Tux-
ford's engines, exhibited by Messrs. Tasker and Son,
a thrashing machine by Mr. Cambridge, harrows,
ploughs, he., by Mr. Hunt, of Shirley, wagons and
I carts by Mr. Kendall, of Cashmoor, and turnip
cutters and other articles by Mr. Canon, of War-
minster, and others. The South-Western Company
ran special trains from Salisbury to Wilton during
the day.
