THE BOROUGH POUCH.

---- -
The Towle CLERIC said that there MALI no report from
the Watch Committee, the estimate not having been
prepared for the Committee meeting. But he reported
that in the absence of the Mayor he (the Town Clerk) end
Mr. Alderman Mantleld met Capt. Willis, who inspected
the police force. The Inspector expressed himself well
satisfied, and said he should report in favour of the
Dorchester eetablislinient, so as to secure the drawback
of 25 per cent. Provision had to be made for the police
expenses during the current year. The wages had
amounted to £..134 18e. According to the county esti-
mate for clothing last year, the outlay was £4B; but
for the present year one-half that sum only would be
needed, £24, making £3lB 18e. Sundry expenses, as
fire, oil, Sze., would have to be met; perhaps about £2O
would meet this. From the Ist of March, 1858, to
March 1, 1859, the expenditure was £374 10s. 10d.,
which included items charged to the borough fund
which were now separately charged to the watch fund.
The watch rate last year yielded £196. The drawback,
Captain Willis stated, would be allowed from the coin•
ineziceinent of the new establishment, September 22,
17.614, and not for the whole year's outlay which began at
, Lady Day. The Council would have to furnish an
account of expenditure from September 22, 1858, to
, September, 29, 1859; and after going before the
Revision Committee of the Treasury, whatever was
applicable strictly to the police force would be allowed
, as • drawback. . .

After a short con.ersation it was agreed that it would
be beat in the present instance to make a rate of 3d.
for the half-year, and the subject dropped.

I?ampsryirt.

Sr, Pri:F.ktlON Or 1 e suite-
. molt prevailed at Southampton on Thursday week.
It appears that a cattle anal pleasure fair had been
held on the 6th of every May in the chief street of
that town from time immemorial. This fair hail
become a great nuisance, and the municipal authori-
ties resolved to change its site, as a lan the time of
it, being held. The alterations were advertis.
but failed, it seems, to reach the parties who
frequented the fair. On Thursday wagons and carts
arrived in Southampton with materials for erecting
standings for goods and drinking booths; as 'emu a.,
the materials were pitched they were seized by a
poue ,1 policemen and taken to the station house.
Horsey also were brought into Southampton from A
long distance, anal will have to be kept there mall
the altered period of the fair at the expense of the
owners. Violence was threatened by the persons
who had their goods seized by the police and by the
parties who were going to set up booths, but pre.
cautions were taken, and Thursday night lamed off
without any disturbance. The alteration of the site of
the fair is opposed by many of the townspeople on
account of the nuisance it causes, and they are about
to move for an injunction in the Queen's Bench to
prevent the new site from being used for a fair, on 1
the ground of the illegality of the proceedings of the
corporate body.
CAUTION TO ANSWOIIB AND COLLFATO/O4 Or

summoned before the commissioners to show cause
why a penalty of £2O should not be imposed on him
for wilfully neglecting and refusing to take upon
himself the office of assessor of tax.* for the said
tithing of Shamblehurst. Mr. Harrison attended
as the friend of Mr. C00t.,; and the commissioners
after hearing his statement, unanimously tined Mr.
Cuote in the mitigated penalty of £lO, and which
amount was imunaliately paid by him.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.

Tue lisu egiu.toes.—Reports on the colleges at
Belfast and Galway have just appeared in print. At
G3lway, 349 students entered between October, 1819,
and February 1858, in addition to 48 in 1858-59, making
a grand total of 397. At Belfast 52 matriculated and 37
non-matriculated students entered in the session of 1868-
59. This college appears to be very successful as an
educational institution, and was especially commended
by the Wice•Cliancellor of the University at the triennial

LUNACY IN WORIHOGIRMI.—A pocket blue-book of
80 pages contains& supplement to the 12th report of the
Commission of Lunacy to the Lord Chancellor. It
refers to the condition, character, and treatment of
lunatiai in workhouses. The hags increase of lunatic,'
in workhouses is noticed, in the first instance, as •
phenomenon requiring explanation, the number having
rime from 8,800 to 7,888 between Jammu, 1867, and
July, Ma& The came mat with are the., of persons
taming hem amide dementia, melancholia, and

epilepsy; they cotnprise many who are idiotic or embe-
elle, and include none who are able to take care of their
own interests or welfare, or to conduct themselves dis-
creetly, if reft to themselves. The system of treatment
in workhouses is so reprehensible AS to 1111111441; belief.
The rules in force to check disonierly conduct in common
paupers are most improperly extended to the insane,
who are, 11l effect, prisoners in these " Bastille." for
life. incapable of assertino their rights, yet amenable to
as much punishment as itthey were quite sane. Of the
metropolitan workhouses, the majority ale of great sire.
obi, badly constructed, arid situate in the midst of dense
populations; the carrie statement applies to the houses
an Lirge provincial towns. The deficiency of lousier of
ace Lion cud exercise fur lunatics is a source of
infinite evil. The Commissioners opine, in conclusion.
that the best IMMO of providing for the insane poor who
ca tbe received into the piresent asylums would be the
,rection of inexpeusive buildings adapted for the resi-
dence of irljnlic, ch ))))) ic, and harmless patients in
direct connexion with, or at a convenient distance from,
the existing institutions. These auxiliary asylums
would be intermediate between union workhouses and
the principal curative asylums. It is also suggested
that the visiting justices of asylums have full power to
visit workhouses, to order the removal of insane i 1111 l ates
therefrom to asylums at their discretion, and to order
the removal int.) the asylumn of pauper patients
boarded with strangers. Various other miggestiiiis are
urged upon the attention of the Lord Chancellor to
obviate the enormous evils complained of—evils which
are truly disgraceful to a civilised and professedly
Christian country.

the army. Here —forzet it not—there are no other
enemies than those who fight against you in hattle.
Remain compact and abandon not your ranks to hasten
forward. Beware of too great enthusiasm, which is the
only thing I fear.
The new (kaki ,k prreki,ot are dangerous only at a
distance—they will not prevent the bayonet from being
what it hail hitherto been—the terrible weapon of the
French infantry.
Soldiers,—Let us all do our duty, and put our confi-

The above appeared in the Tines of Monday week.
On Friday last the same journal, in • leading article
written to show that an appeal must be made to the
patriotic spirit of the country; and that the volunteers
niust be called out, had the following remarks :
" We have the high gratification of announcing that
this necessity is now recognised by the Government. In
another portion of our columns this day will be found a
circular addressed by General Peel to the Queen's lieu-
tenants of Counties sanctioning the formation of
Volunteer Ride Corps. No doubt, the call will be
responded to at once, and to a degree that the tardy
promoters of the measure had scarcely supposed. The
country must be trained to the use of firearms, so as in
any case to be reedy to second the efforts of regular
troops in defending itself against attack. Every man

adult Englishmen will learn to do so we are not likely to

the regular practitioners. The War-odice has at length
saustioneil the enrolment of Volunteers, according to the
terms of the Act passed at the beginning of the century.
The direct result of this call to anon, as we trust, will be
the formation of Ride Cons, which will cheerfully
snotnit to instruction and discipline, and the indirect
consequence, that every inhabitant of the British
Islands within the necessary and obvious limits of se.
will learn the use of firearms, if required. There will
then be a deep and awful meaning in the cry. " fftiffe-

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of thi 2nd, in the Nord
of Brussels, says :—" The end of last week was a period
of rejoicing for the inhabitants of this city, the Neva ,
having become entirely clear of ice, and the navigation
being open. The bou-vivants have hailed with delight
the arrival of several vessels La lell with oy*teni, oranges,
and other delicacies, the production of more f.voured
°purities, and in a few days we shall eee foreign steamers
along:side lb. quays. During the last three or four days
St. Petersburg haa wowed all the appearance of a city
in a state of siege. Drums and truuipeta may be heard
from daybreak, and the streets are frequently blocked
up by regiments and parks of artillery. All this is caused
by the preparations for the grand annual review of the
guard, and of the pepils of the military schools, which
is to take place in a day or two, if the weather is
fine. Inunediately after the review, the Court will
remove to Taanikoe-fielo, where the Empress mother has
already been fur ten days with the Grand I)ucheas
Olga Foodorovaa, wife of the Grand Duke Michael.
Mr. Rarey, the horse•tainer, is now displaying his
powers here. A Khirshis home had recently been
' brought from the steppes of Orenbourg for the regiment
1 of the Cuirassiers of the Guard, but it defied all the
efforts made to break it in. Mr. Rare, rendered it
submissive in about two hours, and it allowed itself to
be saddled, bridled, and led to the railway. On reach-
ing St. Petersburg he mounted another horse and led the
Khirghis courser by the bridle to its stable.
