Rev. it. K.enti. told of the work of the Midland Temper-
ance Leseue. In Warwick and Leamington there will be
at least 30 temperance sermons in one Sunday. Most
People think Sunday closing of public-houses is the right
thing. but what we want is to move the members, that
they emu be without excuse. He did not know that the
member for Bridport would tallow himself to be without
excuse. To the member for Guildford and to Mr. Wigton
attached the responsibility of blocking the Wales Sunday
Closing Bill. He was very sorry that a Dorest constituency
allowed itself to send one of the men who helped to
prevent the Sunday Closing Bill for Wales from b3ing
carried. Mr. Wsrton must understand that not the
bidding ef the Licensed Victuallers' Association must he
do ; but the sound enlightened conviction of the people of
the country. Next god= it will not be fault ofthe House
of Commons nor the House of Lords if the public-houses
in Wales are not entirely closed on Sundays, and in Eng.
land there will be at least drinking on the premises on
Sunday entirely stopped, and if the electors of England
deal with members as the electors for Wales dealt with
theirs, there will be Sunday Closing of public-houses all
over the country next session. (Applause-)
Mr. T. W. °Lora., South Haute, next spoke, and
referred to the division when Sir Wilfrid Lawson's
resolution was carried by 25. It was sad that in Dorset
we had gone bock, we had lost one vote, and had sent
worse men. In all the L'beral members for Scotland
there was only one who voted against the Local Option
resolution, and that was Mr. Gladstone, who voted to go
into committee of supply, but whose heart is with them.
He should not say whM he thought about Mr. Warton,
because he should go to Bridport, and say it all there.
Nothing would satisfy the country but giving the rate-
payers the power of saying whether licenses should he
granted or not—they would take everything else Mr.Olui-
stone would give them; but nothing else would satisfy
them but the veto power. Before next election the people
in the county will have the franchise like, those in the
boroughs, and then the voice of the working man, which
had never yet been heard in the House of Cm:mons. will
be heard, and though we may not see the last of the
drinking traffic, our babies may. (Applause.)
The Roy. (1. H. PINNY. Abbotsbury, moved • resolution
welcoming the representatives of other usocittious, and
hoping for greater success, no that all the leagues may
join hand* and praise GA for completed work. He
hoped that even our Queen would live long enough to
see • great improvement with respect to the drink
traffic, awl Zeeland shall he delivered from the greatest
curet the land ever suffered from. He urged them to hold
up holy hands without wrath or dotting to the Lord
and Giver of all things for blessing on the good work.—Mr.
HAYWARD, of Yetminster, seconded.
Mr. TUCKER ant Mr. BELL, deleiretes from the National
Temperance L sague and the U.K. Baud of Hopo

Mr. CIOODCHILD proposed that the conference is thank-
ful for the woof that total abstinence is 'avow ebb, to
health and I .og ..ity. In every society where there is a
comparison betted es abet tiners rn I non-absi &leers, the
abstainers have lees illness, ge better more quickly, and
live longer on the ge. D
and, thsrefore, are to ha
commended as thrifty people. uring last week Rev.
Pelbaru-Stokes gathered together a large number of
working men at • capital supper, awl more than 50 bond
file working men had taken the pledge, and next Mon-
div they intended to have • thorough good temperance
meeting in Wereheno.
The CHAIRMAN knew from experience that iota aieti•
nonce n'a to reduce premiums in insurance societies and
increase bonusee.
After • speech by Mr. Rag, • vote of thanks warn given
to the chairmen, and the cobference closed with the
doxology, and the benediction pronounced by Rev. H.
Pelham-St 'ker.
A tea was laid in the Corn Exchange, when about 90 sat
down. The tables were presided over by Mrs. Colonel
Bingham, Mice Mans 'I (Church Knowle). Misses Pouncy,
Kiss Locket, Miss Harm 4n, Miss A. Harman, Mrs. Green-
ing, Mrs. S sundy, Miss Vine, Mrs, Penny, Miss Jordan,
Mrs. G. Wright.
A public meeting was held in the Corn Exchange in the
evenine, pre.bled over by Mr. J. J. Norton, of Poole.
There was a large attendance.
Prayer having been offered and • hymn sung,
Mr. °maim CURTIS (Mayor of Poole) was called upon
to address the meeting. He gave some interesting particu-
lars rel sting to the association. It had been in existence
about 20 years, its object being to establish in the villatee
and smaller towns the interest. of total abstinence, and to
disseminate by means of tracts and the visitation of
persons in their homes, the best temperance literature,
thereby increasing their knowledge upon the movement.
During the period It bad been established they rejoiced at
having dons some good In building up many in the habits
of sobriety and temperance, and preventing many from
falling into the evils into which their fellows had sunk.
He ventured to *evert poslively that total abstinence was
teneficial to health. After 43 years' experience he asked
those present to give it • final trial. Why, he asked,
spend money for that which was not bread and that which
satisfied not! In conclusion he trusted that the result of
that meeting would be tbey would have many more friends
to assist them in the good work, and he asked them to
come forward and work shoulder to shoulder in the
temperance mission. (Applause)
Mr. Btu. (of the United Kingdom Band of Hope
Alliance) spoke with special reference to the work among
the children. There was a great need for looking after
the children. They complained about Enelend being
a drunken country; but if they wanted England to be
sober in the future they must teach the children the true
principle' of temperance. He hoped the time was not
for distant when the law would prevent publicans selling
intoxicating liquors to children. He gave some sad
datistica as to the drunkenness prevalent among young
people in Liverpool and other large towns. There was one
cheering fact—there were over 4.000 Bands of Hope in
the country and more than 500,000 young people belong-
ing to them. (Hear, hear.)
na Rev. E Bobton then addressed this meeting. They
insult not L'Olot that while they assembled and spoke in
the interests iLs total abstinence cause, they must not
fail to advocate and prose home upon the friends of Dor-
chester the claims and interests of the association. The
results of its work had undoubtedly been great and good,
but although it might seem somewhat ungracious, he
would venture to suggest there was a weak point in the
working of the association. He knew that is work lay
chiefly in the village stations and agricultural districts,
and there the association was all that one could desire.
But at the same time he maintained it ought to take •
firmer hold upon the towns in the county. H. spoke chiefly
with reference to Weymouth. He was astonished to find
that when one of their agents visited them for the pur-
pose of vetting additional snbscripttons, there were only
two in Weymouth who had identitled themselves dis-
tinctly with the association. by becom ng members through
subscription. One was the esteemed rector (the Rev.
T. °relives) and the other he r.jsl.ftd to say was himself.
If that was anything like a representative case, was it not
high time they endeavoured to get • firmer hold in their
towns He then pawed on to speak of the temperance
question generally, the aspect of which from the logos of
the times, be considered to be very encouraging. In
conclusion he appealed to the good people of Died:tester to
arouse themselves and come forward to help them in the
work. (Applause)
The Rev. Pitman-aroma delivered an amusing address.
He spoke on the physical, moral, and spiritual aspect of
the temperance question. A very interesting tart of his
address was • letter which he bad received from Sir Garnet
Wolseley, in reply to his enquiry whether in the Ashanti'
War teetotalers were able hi go through mere than others.
The General replied that he had never enquired tVrectly
into the point referred to, but he could state generally
that his experience was the less liquor there wee in the
army, the more efficient was its c sndition. Referring to
the recent campaign in South Africa, he said the teetotalers
were models of what soldiers on service ought to be. The
gallant General concluded "There is no one who wishes
well to the temperance cause more sincerely than I do."
(Aoplause.) The rev, gentleman asked them to do their
utmost in the good cause and called to mind the words of
the poem :

EIGHTY TON GUNS FOR TH INILIXIBLIL —The second
gun which coutpletos the armament of the after.
tureet, was lifted an I deposited on board the Inflexible
on Saturday morning with even greater ease and
expedition their the first. The turret was rotated to
bring the slides nearer the side of the ship, and the
*hole operation was completed in 224 minutes, or 124
minutes leas time than on the previous day. The
drau,fht of the ship, on being undocked, was 21ft.
10in, aft. and 153. llin. forward. After the first gun
was pieced on board the draught wsa increased to 22ft.
2in. aft. and IfL. Ilin. forward, while the second gun
brought it down to 221 t. Sin. and 19ft. 24in. The two
guns thus broui,ht the ship down seven inches by the
.tern, which was just about what was expected, as it
had been calculated that 47 tons would sink the ship
an inch. The heel of the ship was Sin. in 7ft, her
total cant being about Ii degrees. Though the guns
are mounted side by aide the arrangement differs in
other respects from that of the Thauderer, and may
be said to be a development of the system which
was introduced by Sir William Arnutrong's firm in the
;Luning of the Alpha type of gunboats for the Chinese
(lover lament. Hitherto it has been the practioe to
place all heavy guns upon an iron structure, called the
carriage, on which they are supported by the trunnions.
This carriage bean besides the gun the mechanism for
elevating and depressing the gun, and for trippinicand
abio in part the mechanism for checking croon. In
the system adopted in the Inflexible, b 'waver the
bold step has been taken of dispensing with • carriNts
each gun being supported on three pointa. e
trunnions rest on brass blocks, which slide on fixed
beams bolted down to the Boor of the turret, while
the breech rests on a third block, sliding like the
others between guides upon a beam or table. Behind
each of the trunnion blocks are two hydraulic) presses
for checking recoil and running the grin out, and a
third press is Seed vertically beneath the beam on
which the breach rests, and by means of this the
muzzle of the gun which pivots on its trunnions with
: • large preponderance towards the breech.can be easily
raised or lowered. It is believed that two months will
' elapse before the ship will be ready for the trial of her

A SIMITICIOOII CLIIL -- At the Police-oourt, on
Monday, before Dr. Drew Tan), D. Collett,
Esq., and B. Hopkins. , Henry SiliepAard
was charged with feloniously .ing away a purse,
containing 7s. 6.l.—Nfr. Hanna defended.—A little
girl named Edith Winkling, sold on Saturday
she went into the town with the purse, and having
purchased some things returned home. On her way
she put the purse in her pocket, which had a hole in it,
and she lost it in Sing-street She could not prove
who picked it cp. She tied only seen the defendant
once before ant that some time ago.—A little girl
named Maitland proved picking up the purse, and
giving it to defendant, but Mr. Hannon objected to the
evidence, she being too young for the oath to be
edministered.—P.(,. Stickland said from information
he received, he went and found the defendant at the
cab-stand. He asked him for the parse which the
little girl had given him. He replied that he only had
one and that was his own. Witness described to him
the one which had been lost, and he said he had not
seen it. He went with him to Mrs. Maitland's house,
when he asked the girl if the purse which the defend-
ant said was his was the one lost, and she replied that
It was not. In the purse was a florin, four shillings,
and a threepenny piece.—Henrietta Green said oh.
was working at the Sun Inn, King-street, on Satur-
day. She found the purse, which had been lost in a
gutter in the backyarcl.--P.C. Carter proved receiving
the puree from Mrs. Keeley.—Mr. Keene contended
there was not a tittle of evidence against the defendant.
—The Bench said it was a very suspicious case, but
would give defendant the benefit of the doubt.—Case
dismissed.
EXTRAORDDTART CHARGE OF OBCILTT TO • DONUT.
—At the Borough Police-court on Tuesday, before Dr.
Drew ((chairman), D. Collett, Esq., and B. Hopkins,
Es' q.—JonatAas Coot, owner of the goats and donkeys
on the sands, was charged with cruelty to a donkey
by working it whilst in an unfit state.—Mr. R. N.
Howard, instructed by the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty, prosecuted.—P.C. Hansford said on
Monday be was on duty on the Esplanade. He saw
the donkey in question on the sands, with a woman
riding on it. The animal was heavy in foal and
appeared to be in much pain. The hoofs of its hind
feet were also worn down, quite close, and the
defendant told him they could not shoe it. Its legs
were quite crooked. He had cautioned him only the
week before. It was then wearing a black girth and
was evidently suffering. On witness speaking to him
he went and took it off, remarking that he kept the
donkey only for children and light weights. Last
Wednesday he saw the animal again on the sands with
a saddle on. Soon afterwards he saw them taking the
saddle off, upon which the donkey fell down and was
foaling on the ponds in front of a lot of people. It was
dragged from the public gaze, and bags were thrown
over it. Defendant took the colt, wrapped it up, and
took it home. He also drone the donkey home. On
the next day, and the Friday it was on the sands, and
on Saturday it was wain eaddied.—Mr. Ravenhill,
who had kindly attended to give evidence, said he was
on the beach on the morning in question and saw two
donkeys on the sands. One of them fell down close to
a number of children. It was about to foal. It was
pulled up but 110011 fell down again. There were no
arrangements made by the defendant for five or ten
minutes, and the donkey was half.lionn before all the
people on the sands, before they covered the poor
beast up. It was the most loathsome sight he had
ever seen.—P.C. Carter also proved cautioning the
defendant with reference to other donkeys.—Mr.
Bring, M.R.C.V.S., said he had his attention drawn
to the donkey. It had then just foaled opposite the
Burdon Hotel on the public sands. He instructed
them what ti do. It was a decided act of cruelty to
work the animal so close to the time. The foal was
fully developed. It was also most cruel for the
donkey to be worked so soon afterwards.—Dr. Drew :
I only wish the woman who was riding on it
could have been brought here as an accomplice.—
Mr. Supt. Vickery said in August, 1878, cook was
fined SI, or two months' in default, for cruelty to
donkeys.—The Bench considered it one of the
Cale. of cruelty they had ever heard, and decided not
to give the defendant the option of a fine. He would
be sent to Dorchester for two months' with hard
Labour.

committee could then hive dealt with them if they
were found breaking the rules of the society. They
have written to him for the names of those individuals,
and reminded him of his liability under rule 53, and
are waiting his reply, which will be the subject of a

WHAT THE WORLD BAYS ABOUT
WEYMOUTH.

That Weymouth is popular as a semi& resort is an
undoubted fact; just as certain as that she deserves
to be still more popular and much more widely known.
The sands are crowded with children and young
people; the gocclly supply of respectable bathing.
machine. is inadequate to the demand; the long
terraces of roomy airy houses—the older of them
distinctly Georgian, and looking se if they had been
imported bodily from the streets about Russell-square
—are all well occupied; the local riding-muter trate
past one's window every morning en I afternoon with
• bevy of beauty, obviously in borrowed skirts and
jury jackets, and with a tendency to break out in blue
veils and lace neckties, which is not of the Row
Row-y. The local fly, an excellent lonian, which
woul raise a blush in the Brighton flyman's hardened
countenance, and make Folkestone sink with
shame, is continually conveying It, fare to see
Lord Itchester's swannery, or to the Roman Camp,
called Maiden Castle—yet not a castle any more than
Weymouth is Weymouth—or to the wishing-well in
the rustic village of Upwey, where tradition informs
us that George 111. was in the habit of taking his
bath, or to the bold chalky hills, on the side of which
we are shown the pictured presentment of that
estimable monarch, mounted on • spirited horse with
• tall proudly consciotui of Royalty. This equeetrian
Image ts scraped on the chalk, and religiously cleaned
twice a year. The yellow moss is creeping over the
horse's haunches in this warm summer-tide, and the
scraping process will soon be needed. George
house, a very plain red-brick edifice, is now the
Gloucester Reoel ; but there are dint legends of his
having resided in other parts of the town, and even in
Weymouth proper, • curious roncatenati-n of steep
narrow streets and queer oli houses on the other side
of the harbour.
But the glory of this Dorsetshire watering-place is
its bay—a bay so lovely, with water at pellucid so
deeply, darkly, besutifully blue when seen from 'the
vm-dant hill-sides above, and of so exquisite • turquoise
tint as seen from our windows, that one can hardly
praise it too much. It has been compared to the Bay
of Naples. and, as an unprejudioed person who has
not seen Naples, I should ray it was quite equal to
that much-vaunted seaport. At any rate, it has the
advantage in cleanliness and freedom from foul malls.
Weymouth, as a town, is as clean as the Brighton of
20 years ago, and has a sea ant a shore, and • lively
assemblage of craft in the offing, which Brighton
cannot boast. For Vesuvius there is Portland's rocky
height, where the lights twinkle so picturesquely of ale
evening. For Posillpo there is any one of yonder
verdant validated hills which you may choose to
luny.
