The Weymouth Local Board have boon prompt
beyond put experience in their adoption of
Mr Coode's plan. Immediately on the conclu-
sion of last Tbursds)'s Council meeting, the
Mayor telegraphed to Mr Cootie, who met the
Board ou Saturday morning. A few modifica-
tions of tho plan were overborne by the cele-
brated engineer, who qave most srtisfactoiy rea-
sons for all his c me' uone. The cost of the plan
is groat,and it is believed that nearly double the
estimate will be apeut before we are clear ;lut
thou the scheme is th Toughly efficient, and pro-
vi4ee not only for the present but for future
wants, and oven anticipates the demands of
future Parliaments. Thus Weymouth must
make the beet of a costly bargin. set to work
with ri ;ht gooiwill, and if much is spent, much
more must ho earned. The only system that can
compete with Sewage Irrigation is that of Dry
Earth, and probably the prejudices of visitors and
the careleesneis of lazy people would render
that system unfitted for Weymouth. The next
3 ear in our fatuous watering place will evidently
be one of very hard work for all.

Jercmy Bentham says that " The poor would need

the priest who preached the funeral sermon over that
illustrious Irishman O'Connell, chose for hi, text,
"Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after
iMstsee." which is a better translation for the
Greek original than that of our version, which has
righteousness. I know it is the desire of all here to
render/or/WA and therefore I think myself happy 1111
addressing you. I once travelled with a clergyman
and his wife, and the clergyman told rue that his wife
was constantly preaching two sermons, very short,
but very pithy. tier morning sermon was "Lessen
your wants ; and her afternoon was, "Help the
pour to help themselves." Tus should be our motto,
to help the agricultural labourer to help himself—to
inculcate upon him the great lesson of 541.4.-Ip.
Heathen writers urge 'Help yourselves, and the gods
will help you." Teach the agricultural labourer how
he may work, how he may supply himself with the
ncoassarios of life, how he may preserve his health--
in short, help him to help himself, and you do a
• great work.
Gentlemen, our subject tamight is "The Condition
of the Agricultural Labourer.' Observe the subject
is generic. It does not refer exclusively to that which
has almost passed in other parts of England into a
byesword, and a proverb, and a standing reproach—
tar Do.rdthirr labomre.. But, as this is a species
under the genus, and one that touches us closely, we
may be prmitted to draw attention to our own county
labourer,eand see his condition, and how we may
improve For "the street will soon be clean, if
every onitsweeps before his own dour." If we want
to puife the ocean, we must purify each drop.
Whilsty charity or Christian love should not eni at
home nu. at all events, ought to kits there. In
speakingof this topic, bear in mind that I am allud-
ing to the oagricultural labourer, pure and simple.
am not alluding to the shepherd, who has more pal
said perquites because he is entrusted with the carcy
• propsetrs, the meat of which, at mod, per lb., to
say nothing of the gold-prodiscing deece, is moat
valuable. Nor am I alluding to the carter, who is a
village Pickford, often entrusted with the conveyance
of very precious articles, with no other insurance but
his native honesty. The man is always commended
who calls a spa-le vt "an implenient of husbandry,"
but simply " spade." And when I speak of an
agricultural labourer, I do not allude to a foreman, a
shepherd, or a carter, but exclusively to the lowest
grade—the apirmitsr;al lalvarer. I wish this to be
disitnctly understood, so as to narrow our deliberations
to the worst paid and most necessitous class of the
commanity,viz., the Dorsetshire agricultural labourer,
pure and simple—a labourer, and nothing morel

LATEST NEWS.

REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE.
The Mark Lam Express of to-night says—
The political changes of the past year have
given firmness to the corn trade on the whole.
The corn harvest was a dry one, but the want
of early and solar heat has made the samples
very susceptible of damp; and as fogs during
autumn have been universally early and preva-
lent, samples of early have appeared in poor
°audition. Our autumnal sowings for the incri
part have been favourable, but some who weft
late were overtaken with early frost. As to the
averages, they commenced at 525. 7d., and
closed at 555. &i., the lowest point being in
January, and the highest in June-60e. We
give our rough estimate of imports of wheat
and flour at 9,455,000 qrs., but against this
there have been heavy exports, and large stooks
are stiU on hand. With an estimated deficiency
of font bushels per aim in our own country, we
shall still have large wants, but there ii no
disposition anywhere to take low prime In
England during the holidays rates have been
tending slightly downwards, but should winter
return we may find • reaction.
