to obtain • verdict in order to recover his outs,

creditable, and u containing imputations most unjust

watches at the roulette, and thirdly, that they had been
guilty of gross negligencie. He deprecated clap-trap

HOUSE OF LORDS.

THURSDAY. -There was but an ordinary sesemblag•
the Hoeft, and as the new Lord Chancellor hed assumed
his seat before their lordship: opened their portals to
spectators, it most be taken that his commenced his new
stale without any special demonstration. Without any
interference of other and smaller Whirs, the Earl of
Malmeebury, appeariag in the character of Leader, set
about to announce that the reconstructed Ministry was
I. full operation, cad that they wore pAyiag the base
oomph:no:4 they weld to Lord Derby by following
exactly the policy of that noble lord. With an evident
intention to be particularly pertinent, Lord Mansell roes
to give his opinion of that policy, which he characterised
in such strong terms of opprobrium that the Duke of
Marlborough was moved to ink 'what he meant," and
received the prompt explanation that it was • policy
which oonsitled in decrying or protesting sgainst
reforms, and parliamentary reform in particular, for
'eyes years, while all the time the .'criservaties leaders
were sr cretly preparing to outbid the Liberals on that
inibject—ooroluct which would have been monied by
Von, Grey, Althorn, end other historical statesmen who
are familiar in Lord Ituaell's mouth. This was but a
skirmish, which soon ended, and their lordships, having
dealt rapidly with • return and • bill or two, dispersed
early. _ . .

FRIDAY. —During *short Bitting i claim WU urged by
the Evid of Cardigan, on the part of • son of the
Artillery officer who invented certain deetrintive shells
known by his own name—Shrapnel—for • "nittional
recognition" of the service rendered. in the "hope of
something handsome to his heir. The qnation was
almost summarily disposed of, by the Earl of Longford,
by • statement that the inventor himself had enjoyed a
pension of 1:1,2100 per annum for twenty years, besides
a honorarium of £35,000 from. the But India Company,
and therefore any claim of his heir could not be recog-
nised.

WIMBORNA,

HOT llfttiPtifts.—For two evening' during the peal
week the Town.hall has been lit up to give gr. Powell,
'a convert from Popery," one of the Murphy order ot
lecturers, an opportunity of enlightening the minds of
the Wimborne folks as to the errors of the Romish
Church generally, and advising them, the Lelia
especially, to study "Mail. Monk," with the assurance
from him that their imaginations could not poesibly
picture anything more foul and outrageous than the
doings of the priests. Mr. Powell has evidently taken
his cue from the famous Murphy. He is jest as Ant
not quite as big—and treat. his subject with that mis-
placed levity, so objectionable to English ears, when
matters of such weight and moment are being di,.
sussed. He seemed to forget several times daring his
kciatres that ladies were present, and said things that
gentlemen would rather not hear. There are certainly
paps in the history of Roman Catholicism fearfully
stained. The one. beautiful garments of the old church
are sadly defiled. But whilst reading !howl pages and
gazing at the departing glory, we are filled with th•
spirit of heaviness, and can't laugh at the foolish
sallies of such men. Mr. Powell tried to come the
"confessional" on the third night, but the authorities
said "No," so the Wimbornians bet that treat. The
expose on the first night was made to a very thin
audience, without • chairmen; on the second night yet
thinner, the chair still vacant; and what the grand
climax would have been if it had only come, we must
leave to conjecture. This we know, that the "convert
from Popery," walked out of the town with empty
poi:Seto (if we can tenet that excuse for not meeting
all hie liabilitieetand we should sag, the sooner he ands
some more honourable way of getting • living the
better.

the capital engaged; and in 1867, with wheat atertlinll

BRYwrot. Maim FAIL—The Bristol haltyearly fair
was held at the Cattle Market, on Monday, and it
attracted • larpr attendance than we hare man for
several yeara The supplies, however, were short. For
anything good there wee • fair demand, and among the
Irish samples good barrows realised from £l2 to £l4 ;
"springer." from £l6 to £l7; and oows and calves
from Ell to £lB ; the yearlinats were of • very rough
and inferior description, and they sold at rather law
prices, ranging from £4 to £7. Amongst the Earth&
samples good graz;en realised from Ell to Ell, nod
dirks from ES to Ell ; there was soarealy any English
yearlings on offer. The bolls met with • very quiet
trade at prices ranging from CIO to £3O, aosording to
quality. As usual at this fair, the show of fat cattle
was short, but we received ,about 30 animal. from Ire.
land, in addition to some eery Ane Devon; the latter
realising rather high prices' in one or two instanoes the
extreme figure of 70s. was obtained, but • more average
rate for best sorts was frees 65e. to 68a, while ascoodary
simples made from MX to 63e. per cwt. The trade was
pretty brisk, and all on odor readily °hanged beads.
The fret important eoesigansent of More alteop from
Ireland arrived in time forth, fair, bet they met with
rather a quiet trade, esept for best samples. The show
of horse, was slightly under the average number, and
although the earl mane, Gotta, and nip were on the
whole of • rough and indifferest ',Waiter, they in•
eluded several useful animals, which commanded some
attention. In • few oases (rem E:3O to £45 were
demanded, but buyers holding beak • trifle less money
wee mariepted, though for the majority of the rough
descriptions on offer from £3O to £3O was • more
average quotation. For the few good nap shown, high
price. were asked, from £35 to IMO being the average
figure demanded, but buyers did not consider the
animals up to that value, and holden bad to giro way
In order to effect sales. For the inferior deecriptions

trade was done at rather Arm prises. For the few

POCICIT:PICIONO AT DOSCH/STIR PAUL

-.
Matthew Lewis and John Roberta, described u tailors,
were indicted for stealing from the person of Harriet
Keats, at Dorcheeter, • parse containing £2 6e.—Mr.
Collins prosecuted; prisoners were unrepresented by
counsel, but Roberta mose-examined the several
witnessed with oonsiderable skill. Lewis also put •
number of questions, but his lordship did not have any
opinion of his efforts, for be said there was not any
evidenoe to connect Lewis with the charge, and, if then
had beets, be had no doubt Lewis would have got it
out by his cross-examination. His lordship said the
whole cue tamed on the evidence of Mrs. Keats. It
will be remembered that the prowentrix came to Dor-
chester from Portland on the morning of the Oandlemu
fair, by the Great Western train, arriving at half-past
eight. As she got from the train she put her puree,
widish she bad been carrying in her hand, into her
pocket. It then exuatsined two sovereigns and six
shillings. Directly after Roberts pushed up against
her, having a cost over his hands conceal-
ing them. She immediately put bar band to
her pocket to see if her puree was there, and fund
It was gone. She told the guard of the train that
I she had lost her purse, and that she suspected Roberts,
I who had got into the train. The guard went to look
I into the earrionte where proucutrix had been, but it was
not found. There was no other evidence, his lordship
said, in the ease, the net simply proving that Roberta
and Lewis were companions.—Roberts addressed the
jury at some length, and withl considerable Ingenuity.
He admitted that he ran against the prouientrix, bat
said, surely this was no proof that he stole her parse,
for it was the fair morning, and . third-clue train. and
many people were about; and if Mrs. Keats cherub, be
stole the pane, why did not she give him into custody
and when she rialto to the guard wby did be go, and she
accompany him, to (be carnage where she rode and look
for it? Aud if there was any reason to believe he bed
stolen it, how was it the riard allowed him
to go? Nobody saw him take the purse, and
it was not found In hie possession, or any coins of
the some value as Mrs. Keats lost. He admitted his coo.
paniooship of Lewis, bat urged that that proved nothing.
—The jury found prisoner not salty, and Roberta
was acquitted. —Lewis pleaded guilty to stealiog a purse
containing 2.5. 31. from Marie Parker, of Wool, hut he
hoped the previous case would not bias his Lordship
against him.—The Judge said it did glee him a strong
suspicion that he and Roberts were together at the
fair to pick pockets. He sentenced the prisoner to six
months hard labour. Lewis said "Thank you my
lord." The two men shook hands, Lewis was you,
down below, and Roberta went free.

WOOL MARKET.

BRADFORD, Thureday.—The wool nierkst exhibits •
rather more cheerful feeling. The inquiries for good
matching., and 'epee:daily for good hogs, have been more
frequent, and owing to the soircity in these destriptioos
wool staplers are in • poeitioo to command market
prices. Other sorts of wool continuo quite se much
Dea1...A..4 as hitherto. There is, however, • disposition
on the part of spinners to refrain from operations, in
anticipation of some public wars of wool, which may
probably have the affect of giving a tom to pekes.

It la our ;willful duty to report another of thaw dis-
tressits arid fatal accident, which are unhappily of eta:
frequent occurrence on railway.. On Saturdsy eight

regular time 7.40 p tn., calling et Henstridge and Stat.
bruig statiiins. Pc for a• is known e erything was all
safe and well on le !Ting the letter st•tion. but when the
train tel go, from 100 to 150 yards from the station,
the engine-di iver suddenly mireed hi. companion, Charlet
Crouchur, who acted w stoker. He called out, n 4 ou
, not reaming any reply, sounded the danger whistle,
, which on being heard by the guard he pat on hie break
! and the train was
.stopped. Toe station-Eu.36er at
Stalbridge hearing the signal, and perceiving that the
trim n tel stopped, proce-detl, in crompany with one of
the ptrters to inquire the oases, but before be hoc got
! up to the train the guard and engine-driver, carrying
lights, went luck till they came up to something lying
aeries the metals, which they at first thought ens •
, Lase lump of coal, but to their horror diriciovr red that it
, was pert of the body of the unfortunate •tokr, r, which
had been completely cut in two, nne half lying on one
bide the metal and the other half the other, having been.
evidently pulsed over by the engine and the whole of
! the carriages and trucks. The remains were, as soon as
tangibly cronveyed back to Stalhridre station, to tisrait
the coroner'. inqirest. How the accident occurred it is
impowible to say, but it is thought by the engine-driver
I that the unfoitanste deceased must have slipped off
the side of the engine, and meld not recover himself.
