February 16. —The fair having been held here on
the 14th, at which time the usual business of the
week was transacted. We consider the market to-
day nominal, and will now give the tone of the trade
on the fair-day. There was an unusually large at-
tendance at the Corn Exchange, especially in the
seed trade ; amongst those who were present we
noticed many new faces. anil some amount of busi-
ness seemed to be passing with them, but people
(very properly) prefer buying their seeds of the old
established dealers in their own locality. In the
wheat trade there seemed to be rather more activity,
hut not sufficient to raise the price. The barley
trade bed, and prices generally a shade lower. Oats,
beaus, and peas in fair request, at late prices.

Brighton, February 16th, 1861:
Ruescvito Sta,—l take the liberty of writing to
you, to ask if you, or any of your readers, will tell
toe any reuiedy, by way of compensation, for my
having been iieeftd of my time and money, owing
to an unfortunate circumstance, namely, my having
read the Dorset Chroxide.
The history of my case is this :—A Dorchester
friend of mine sent me a oopy of the Dorset c Aron-
icle of February 7th, in which it Mee stated that a
"large fair for fat lambs and wetbers" would be
held at Dorchester on February 14. Well, Sir, on
the strength of this 1 started, and when 1 arrived at
the fair, only fancy my dismay 1 was laughed at,
and told that it was not a sheep fair at all, but en-
tirely one for cows and horses and one of the witty
hearing my misfortune, added, "and calves."
I would have called upon you and stated my griev-
ance, but I felt so annoyed at iny lose of time and
the expense of toy journey, that I beat a speedy
retreat, and west bows more like a lion than a lamb
of the latter of which I hail hoped to secure &goodly
number for our Brighton consumption.

COLONIAL CHURCH AND SCHOOL SOCIM. —On
Sunday, February 10, two very impressive and well-
delivered sermons were preached in cur chinch by
the Bev. H. P. Gookesley, M.A., of Wimborne, in
aid of this excellent and rowing society. The
rev. gentleman chose for his text Titus ii. 14 :
" Wlio gave himself for us, that he might redeem us
from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar
people, aWous of good works," in the morning;
and Psalm iii. 8 :—" Salvation belongeth unto the
Lord; thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah," in
the evening. We are happy to state the collections
amounted to the handsome sum of £l3.

We are pleased to hear that the Bth Dorset
Volunteer Rifle Corps will shortly possess an excel.
lent drum-and-Me band, and from the daily practice
of its members we anticipate something tirst-rate.
The instruments have arrived. Recruits are rapidly
swelling their ranks, and the entire affair seems to
promise well.
Tat RAILVIAT.—From the general appearance.?

good of the railway is being felt; in fact we seem

Sir. (I. C. LIWIS stated whet hail taken i.lice with
reference to the outbreak of the convict* at Chathain ;
that there had been no change of discipl.r.e or diet,
and no specc grievance had been alleged by any
convict there.
Mr. Coclutotx cslled the attention to the annexation
of Menton. and Rognehrune to the French empire.
pointing out the peculiar position of the Principalty of
Monaco, and acted whether Lori J. Kuvoll had had
any correspondence with Sir James Hudson with
ref,ran,.. to the annexation.
Mr. Ontrrrrn asked whether it was to he underatood
that it wait the meaning end iiitention of Her Majesty's
Government to give any encouragement to the idea
that any mcbeine having for its object the retention of
any part of the temporal sovereignty of the Pope, as •
possible solution of the Italian question, could, under
any circumstances, be satisfactory or acceptable to the
people.
Mr. Muir Scriction asked what stage the negotia.
tions respecting the redemption a the State tolls bad
remelted. . . . . . .

Mr. Hr.nsranv contradicted certain statements made
by Mr. Griffith.
Lord J. Runnem,, in reply to Mr. Cochrane, ex-
plained the political position of the two communes of
Menton' and Rnquebrune with reference to the King of
Sardinia, as Duke of Savoy, observing that he could
not see that any great political importance wax to be
attached to the trausaction in question. He professed
himself linable to give • species answer to the question
put by Mr. Griffith. as he did not exactly comprehend

repeated) the policy of the British Government was te
permit the Italians to settle their own affairs. In
answer to Mr. Sermon?* inquiry he stated the position
of the negotiations regarding the Stade tolls.
Mr. BINTINCI, in asking when the Miscellaneous

table so late in the Session that the House practically
had no control over them.
Lori PA Lummox replied that those Estimates would
be laid upon the table very shortly. The House, he
remarked, most bear in mind that some of the heaviest
of the charges were put upon them by votes of the
House.

In cloths the amount of hu•ineod has been very small.
The sales that have been made are repot tel at a redac-

proportionate decline on lighter fabrics for India.
There is a telegram from Calcutta to the 16th of
January. bringing more unfavourable account' from
that market and from China. In printers and long-
cloths we have heard of some fair sale" in one or two
quarters, at a reduction correapoading with that en
India shirting', but in the general market thews goods
are reported at quiet end very much neglected.
Some fair sales are reported in domestic. for the home
'lade, at steady prices. In yarns the general report is
one of inactivity, but there are esoeptional awn of

which law been so long wanted, and we
believe will now be generously afforded.

good reason for *toting that wherever this company

served the support of the majority of the inhabi-

In their address they say :
" Southern Italy was redeemed. Twenty-two
millions of men, united by the bond of fraternity,
with Victor Emmanuel, the constitutional king,
form already the Italian family. But Italy ii Dot
wholly formed. Rome and Venice send us groans
of grief that lacerate our souls, take away from us

despots with terror. So long as Rome and Venice
are not free there will be iso peace in the world.

Lord St. LRONARD'I, in a long speech, drew the atten-
tion of the Home to the acl,eme for building new law
courts by applying the moneys of the Suitors' Fee
Fund to that purpose. He opposed the design upon
the ground that it was inexpedient to take a suin of
£1,400,000 belonging to the Suitors' Fee Fund of the
l'ourt of Chancery in order to build courts which those
suitors did not require fur the benefit of HI the law
court".
The Le/RD CH•NCILLOR Could not possibly under-
stand what objections could be rai-ed sgainst the plan if
• guarantee were given by the Government for any
claims that might be made on the Suitors Fe* Fund.

sented front the villas of Lord St. Leonard's, butthought
