lie is there reported as swearing in his cross -examination
that he has " never been suspended or prevented from
preaching;' and, in his examination in chief, that at the
time of the trial he was "still assisting Mr. Robinson," the
Vicar of Chieveley.
As Rural Dean ot the Deanery in which that parish is
situated, I beg leave to correct those statements.
Mr. Williams, in the course of last autumn, ahBbod to
the Bishop of Oxford for leave to take occasional duty in
this diocese, to which application, his lordship returned.
on October al, • reply ront•ining the following words—" I
must decline to give you permission to take occasional duty
in the diocese of Oxford." Notwithstanding this direct
prohibition, which most people, I fancy, would regard as
equivalent to being " prevented from preaching, Mr.
Williams, • few weeks ago, offered his services to Mr.
Robinson, by whom they were accepted. I did not hear
of this till February 9th, when he had been at Chieveley a
few Sunday,; but I then immediately wrote to Mr.
Robinson acquainting him with the Bishop's reply to Mr.
Williams, and on receiving the answer on the 11th, I
wrote to Mr. Williams, informing him that Mr. Robinson
could not allow him to iiificiate in hi twish ; and that, as
he had thought lit to disregard the Bishop's express pro-
hibition, it was my duty to make known to all the I ncum-
benta in this Deanery that he was not allowed to officiate
in this diocese.
It is not for me to express any opinion upon the merita
of the case ; but I think it is right to point out that the
Bishop of the Diocese has given no countenance whatever
to Mr. Williams' ministrations ; and that in fact that
gentlemen was not "still assisting Mr. Robinson.

and all the Weymouth painters being occupied no tender

PARK COMPENSATION CLAIM.
Mr. Wbettam, • builder in the Park. claimed compensa-
tion for damage done to • home of his by the Local
Board raising ground around it above the damp course
and putting in a sewer. The claim was for LIM for work
necessary to make the premises dry, and .CIB in con-
sequence of the late tenant having left because the house
was nude uninhabitable, and £4O permanent damage—
total, On the motion of Mr. HOWARD, seconded by
Mr. I.UaDIE, the surveyor was ordered to report on all
matters connected with the affair.
THE PARK BEING FILLED UP.
Mr. F. PADGETT applied fora further advance OD account
of work done in filling up plots ill the Park. It appeared
that the plots have not yet been filled up to the level
ordered by the Board; but the work was done sufficiently
to abate the nuisance.—Ordered that Mr. Padgett be paid
£1.5 on account.
It was stated that Sir Frederic Johnstone's low land
opposite St. John's church bad not yet been filled up, and
Mr. N angle had said that the horses and carts could not
work on accounts of the land being yet covered with
water. A letter was read from Mr. Nangle ; but it was
resolved that the Town Clerk should put the law in force
without delay if the work was not done at once.
Mr. TALBOT said the land always would be covered altar
every rain storm, until it was filled up.

present were much indebted to him. Mr. Lowe must also
be included in their thanks for the assistance he had
rendered Mr. Stephens. He (Mr. Roper) had visited the
country in whii.h some of the events depicted hail taken
place, and he could therefore speak as to the truthfulness
of many of the representations.—Mr. G. B. Ewens
seconded. and the resolution was carried with acclamation.
—Thanks were cordially passed to the Rev. F. J. Austin,
for the descriptive rathrigs, and to Mr. Olvainp for the
pains he had taken in instructing the choir.—The Rev.
F. J. Austin, in acknowledgment, observed that the
proceeds of the entertainment were to be devoted to the
purpose of making the necessary alterations in the chapel
for the better accommodation of the choir, and he hoped
that with the sum already in hand, they should now have
funds sufficient to carry out the proposed improvement.
'Their organist (Mr. Champ) deserved much prime for the
mailable assistance he had rendered—(applause).—Mr.
J. T. Stephens also responded, expressing the pleasure he
had felt in giving his services, but moot of their praise was
due to Mr. Champ, who had spent so 1111114 h time and

THE LATE ELECTION.
The Figaro of Thursday last contained the following
anent the Bridport election :
"We hope that Mr. Ralli, M.P., will not think us
unkind when we confess that we should be ditposed to
cheer like • bull.throated Briton if he WSW unseated in
petition. We have no ill-will to him. We do not know
the bon. member as a politician. Ile Nays he is a Liberal,
and Rumour says he ts rich. If a man has a big pile of.
money he in worthy to be • member of Parliament, even
if he were a political Shakerite. We have several reasons
for suspecting that Mr. Rath is a good fellow, and that
wealth is not his only or even hin principal qualification
to legislate for that Empire upon which the moon is con-
stantly shedding her silvery light. Yet we would give
five shillings to the "Society for the Supply of Flannel
Pocket-handkerchiefs to the people of Ashantee " if Mr.
Ralli were unseated. Oh for the tons of newspaper.,
placards, squibs, posters, and letters that have been sent to
us apropos of the Bridport election. And now an indig-
nant Whethamite has emptied the butts of his wrath
upon our devoted head because we have not noticed the
contest. He wants to know if we have been bought by
Rat.. We mournfully assure him we have not. Our
palm has not been cheered by Mr. Ralles gold.. The
infuriated Whethamite shall have a notice.
There were three candidates for the representation of
Bridport. There was Mr. Norfolk. who labelled himself
Conservative, whose hat was destroyed by naughty
Bridport boys, and who walked about the streeta and
walked to church with his eccentric head mailed. But
Mr. Norfolk did not come to the scratch. He could not
obtain • sufficient number of nominees.
Of Mr. Ralli, the successful candidate, we have already
written. . .

" Sir
Charles Whethun, the third candidate, expects to
be Lord Mayor of London, and, after the election, he
announced that he wu about to leave for London to
confer with his legal adviser "as to what steps shall be
taken with respect to bribery, intimidation," Sic., the.
Sir James Elphinstone was one of the Whethamites, and
thus referred to Mr. Ralli

" I say with all deference to the constituents of this porough
that you will be • reproach to England if you paw over your
fellow-townsman and elect a foreigner to represent you in
Parliament lam told that Mr. Rani is • man of large fortune,
and I hope for his own sake such is the case. Rut I think that
he would spend that fortune more creditably and honourably
If he were to return to that wretched kingdom of Greece, and
there endeavour by the education that hr has received in this
country, II his knowledge of our fres institutions, to put an
end to the frightful state of villainy and brigandage which
exists in his wretched country.'
There is rutbianisin and rufhanisin, and in our opinion
the ruffianism of the tongue is far worse ttum any other
kind. When Sir James Elphinstone told the audience
that Mr. ltalli was a foreigner, he must have known that
helms making • false statement, unless he is as ignorant
as a waggon-horse and more stupid than an owl. An alien
cannot be • member of Parliament. The reference to Mr.
Itellis fortune was a vulgar impertinence. We know no
more about Sir James Elphinstone than we do about Sir
North Pole—if there is • Sir North Pole; but judging from
the speech sent to us by an irascible Whethauxite, Sir
James Elphinstone seems to be a male edition of Sairey
Gamy. "For he's heerd as 'ow that there Belli is that
shameful rich, while others what is his betters ain't got
nothink."
The suggestion that Mr. Rail ought to return "to that
wretched- kingdom of Greece," and to endeavour "to put
an end to the frightful state of villainy and brigandage
which exists in his wretched country," is not only a vulgar
impertinence, it is coarse and brutal ruffianism ; and as
the Bridport electors are not political roughs, the speech
of Sir James Elphituitone could not have helped Sir Charles

it is • safe game to bully a foreign nation, but though it
might be true, it would not be polite for a Greek Elphin-
stone to call England a den of thieves on account of English
financial swindles.
