WASSELABE.

Mr. Gotst (our borough member) voted last week
for upholding the action of the Speaker with regard to
Mr. Bradlaugh.
LORD ELI/ON voted on Thursday night in favour of
the; Duke f Algyll's amendment to Clause 1 of the
Irish Land Bill, the effect of which is to exempt Eng-
lish managed estates in Ireland, from the operation of
the Bill.

THE TRAIN which form•rly left Woreham for Salls!
bury at 1.59 p.m., has been altered to 1.27. This
alteration is made to pre%ent delay to the train at
Mali-bury, running from Exeter to London, which
this 1.27 train catches there.

A Merin of the Local Board was held on
Thursday, when the following were present : Mr. C.
Yeandey (in the chair), Messrs. Beggs, Bennett,
hiarshinan, Silby, and Tribbett. It was decided
that a sample of the water from the pump at St.
Mart n's Hill, should be sent to he county analyst for
analysis. The Board agreed to take over that portion
of road at the entrance of the New Cemetery. as soon
as it was put in a proper state by the Burial Board.
A petroleum licence for new premises in South-street,
was granted to Mr. Custard.

lIORTICLLTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL SCCIZTT.—The
committee have fixed Thursday, the let of September,
as the day for holding the annual show. One rule
will have to be °afore d necessarily this year, and that
is that all entries must be msds two days, at least,
previous to the show, to enable the committee to make
proper arrangements. No entries will be received
after Tuesday, the 30th instant. We trust this year's
show will be more successful, if possible, than that of
last year.
BoauDs showing that the New Cemetery will be
opened ou week days from 8 o'clock in the morning
(and on Sundays bum 2 o'clock at noon) until sunset,
have been placed at the two entrances of the cemetery,
by order, we suppose, of the Burial Board; but if so why
do they not see that the opening of the cemetery Is
carried out as announced. Complaints have readied
us from persons who have been to the cemetery two
or three days following (since the above boards have
been put up), and found both gates locked. "Whose
fault is this?"

THE PROPOSE!) FREEHOLD LAND AND BUILDING
SOCIRTY.—A meeting was held on Wedne.day evening
last at the Bear Hotel, when the following gentlemen
were present :—Dr. Stainthorpe, Messrs. G. C. Filliter,
H. Bamford, It. Pin lar, W. P. Collihole, F. Mar-
shallsay. R. J. Marashallsay, J. Beer, nen.. J. Beer,
jun., J. Bennett, E. Smith, K Lance, J. Johnson,
Whiteman, G. Hobbs, sen., G. Hobbe, jun., G. Hibbs,
It. Cann, H. Boyt, W. Cooper. A. Ck.bb, and
Lillington. Protested by Mr. Collihole, seconded by
Mr. It. J. Marshallsay, and carried unanimously, that
Dr. Stainthorpe be asked to occupy the chair. The
chairman briefly explained the object for which the
meeting had been convened, and hop-d it would be
carried out successfully. Mr. Bamford said he had
convened the meeting in order to find the general
opinion of his fellow-townsmen with regard to forming
a Freehold Land and Building Society. which if
formed would be registered under the name of The
Wareham Freehold Land and Building Society
(Limited). He thought that if a society of this kind
could be formed they would have no difficulty in ob-
taining the Wesport Estate at a moderate sum, which,
when purchased, could be laid out as a building
estate. He hoped the undertaking would meet with
the cordial support of all present, for there was no
doubt that it would be a great benefit to the town of
Wareham in general, Is at present no land or houses
were to let or for sale if wanted ; having pointed out
the advantages persons derive by means of small
periodical payments beside be ng a safe and
profitable 'investment; he read letters from Messrs.
G. H. Bond, F. }Miter, T. Randall, and the
Rev. H. P. Stokes, expressing their regret at being
I unable to attend the meeting, also their cordial wishes
for the success of the undert .king end promising sup.
port. The Chairman suggested that a provisional
committee be elected to discuss the best way of carry-
ing out with success this scheme, to meet at the close
of the meeting and arrange to hold a private meeting
to talk the whole thing over. —The following gentle-
men signified their willingness to act on such
provisional committee :—Messrs. W. Collihole, G. C.
Filliter. J. Beer, men., J. Beer, jun., G. Hnhbe, Ben,
G. Hobbs, jun., F. Filliter, J. Bennett. J. A. l'anton,
R. Cann, E. Lance, U. J. Alarshallsay, and W.
Cooper. Proposed by Mr. Collihole, seconded by
Mr. G. C. Filliter, that a public meeting be held in
the Corn Exchange on Friday evening, the 19th inst.,
at eight o'clock, at which meeting we trust all persons
who have the interest .4 the t ,wn at heart will
attend, and give the undertaking their cordial sup-
Port.
