BODIES WASHED mmoRK,

Two dead Isehes were washed ashen, in the bay at
Sandford, and two others were oliserved to be
entangled in some ware some distance out. It is
expected that these would be got when the tide would
have receded. (inc of the bodies which have been get
is supposed to be that of the captain, from the fact
that it appears to be that of a man about what his age
was, and also because the clothes upon it are a blue
jacket with brass buttons, betokening that he had
occupied a superior position. The complexion is dark.
Tne clothes were a good deal torn, the tronars being
very much so, the right log being almost bare, and
there was no boot on the right foot. The clothes on
the other body were not so much torn. None of them
wore disfigured. The fact that these four have been
I washed ashore so soon shows that they must have been
somewhere on the vessel at the time she struck, or if
they had been washed overboard previously, as was
quite possible, that could not have happened long
before the disaster to the vessel took place.

SERIOUS RIOT AT ALDERSHOT.

A serious riot occurred on Friday afternoon at
Aldershot. Soon after five o'clock a largo number of
soldiers belonging to the lfith Royal Irish, together
with Irishmen belonging to other corps, commenced a
disturbanee in Short-street, a disreputable place, by
shouting in loud voices, "Hurrah for Old Ireland,"
and other cries, flourishing knob-sticks. They were
woe joined by large numbers, it being too early for
the night picquet. The few day provosts tried to
secure some of the leading rioters, but utterly failed,
and were driven from one end of the street Ca the other
by tho Irishmen, who had armed themselves with
sticks, awl the roads, being newly laid with gravel,
furnished the rioters plenty ,d stones. The shouting
was heard all over the town. The mounted police
galloped into camp, and the authorities ordered the
•• assembly " to be sounded in the second and first
brigade, comprising the With, 91kb, 45th, 32nd, 42nd,
and other regiments, who fell in and were immediately
marched into the town and with drawn bayonets
attacked the rioters. Broken heads and broken
windows ensued. The Pmvost Marshal and field
officer of the day were I m the spot. Every publio-
house and dancing saloon was cleared, and the rioters
were taken prisoners in great numbers. Sonic were
pricked with bayonets, and the provwes were badly
treated. Some prisoners were rescued. The town
was in uproar and all shops closed. The riot, which
lasted nearly three hours, is attributed to drunkenness
arising from St. Patrick's Day.

SANITARY RZPORT. —Mr. W. liendall, the medical
officer of health for this division, in his report to the
Rural Sanitary Authority asp :—The total number of
births registered is 153, givnig a birth rate of 2374
per 1,000. The total number of deaths registered is
119, giving a death rate of 1347 per 1.000; of this
number 36 occurred in the asylum, and a+ nono of
them are persons belonging to this .livision the death
rate is 12148. The deaths due to zemathic diseao, are
8 ; diptheria, 2; croup, 4; whooping cough, 2; chest
affections and old ago, as usual, form a large propor-
tion. Twenty-five occurred under the age of five and
45 upwards of 69. Memles and whooping cough have
been prevalent in some village-.. but no cases of typhoid
fever or scarlatina are reported. During the year I
received information of an outbreak of diptheria at
-tittstown. I visited the house without de'ay and
Inspected the premises ; the smeltery arrangements
were good, and. although the outbreak was in a thickly
populated part of the village, no other C 340 occurred.
I have also visited with Mr. Chick, your inspector, all
the villages in this division, and on July 23rd and
September 16th reported to you several nuisances
which had come under my notice. (The report then
goes onto state the nature of the action taken to remedy
them.) A public water supply has durin ; the year been
provided for the village of Lower Kingcombe. In
Maiden Newton the conversion .4 privies into earth
closets has been completed, with the exception of a
. .

few so situated as not to be nuisance or injurious to
health; the system works well, no scavenger is
employed, as the inhabitants have ample means of
obtaining earth and disposing of night soil. No
complaint has been made to ins for some tune, and I
believe all nuisances are abated. Other cases of over-
crowding in this division ought ts lie reported to you,
but the want .1 proper cottage aceonunodation deters
me from doing 80, and many dwellings are almost unfit
for habitation.

members of this Club was held at the Crown Hotel si
Saturday evening, under the presidency of Mr. .1. G.
Fowler. the chairman for the year. Dr. Bacot, of
Blandford, introduced the subject of "Giddiness in
Sheep," first alluding to the fact that the human
being was subject to tape-worm, and said too much
care could not be taken in the purchase of meat, in
the water drunk, and in cleanliness. Its proceeded to
show that cattle were in great danger of injury by
drinking at the tanks or wells of polluted water, an L
referring to the cause of giddiness in sheep, expressed.
his opinion, which agreed with that of Professor
Cobbold, that sheep were affected through taking inte
their systems the ore of the tape-worm exuded by the
shepherd's dog. A discussion ensue d, in which the
majority of those present expressed their opinion that.
the cause of giddiness in sheep was in-and-in breed-
ing, and the physical weakness of the male animal.
In former times, giddiness in sheep was not nearly Al
prevalent as it was now.

extended to Herr Fritzche. The chairman, Herr
Schmidt, commended the assaasination of the Empen,r.

Tuesday night, the principal speeches were made by
M. Klemenko, a Nihilist, and Herr Wilhem
Hasseltsuum, formerly a Socialist deputy in the
Gennan Reichstag. M. Klemenko said the Czar was
a tyrant of the deepest dye, whom emancipation of the
serfs WIN an immense fraud. Herr Hasselmann said
the glass-bomb explosion shook the entire world, and
made all tyrants tremble. Alexander was not the
only bloodthirsty hound in Europe. The Emperor
Williamu as no better. If he should be taken off he
would leave his son, who was just as bad. The whole
family must he rooted out. The meeting adopted an
address to friends in Russia calling the cause a holy
one of the oppressed against the oppressor, and
concluded thus :—" Brothers, we m Trove your actions.
We approve your methods. Between you and your
oppressors there can be no truce. km, destroy,assassinate, and annihilate, even to the very germ of
your aristocracy."

THE TRANS VAAL WAR.

THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE BOERS,
NEWCASTLIC, SUNDAY.—President Brand arrived
here yesterday evening. In a conversation, he said the
war would prove disastrous for years to come. He
believed it possible to settle the difficulty without
further recourse to arms. As an Africander wishing to
see the country advance, he would use all his en.
deavours to promote a peaceful settlement. Preeident
Brand left here this morning for Mount Prespoct to
consult with General Wood.

All the Brtttsh troops have crossed the Incandu

ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP THE LONDON

MANSION HOUSE.

About midnight on Wednesday, or early on Thurs.
day morning, a diabolical at:einpt to blow up the
London Mansion House was disco%ertsl and happily
frustrated. At the east end of the I,"rd Mayor's
residence there is a narrow, and, at night time, a very
dark passage leading from George-street into .% albrook,
skirting the church of St. Stephen. On Wednesday
night, about twelve, a policoman, while passing
through the passage on his ordinary round, mw a mass
of paper alight, aud on going up istid extinguishing it,
he found in the midst fit a large box, heavily bound
with iron. There was no one anywhere near the spot.
The constable, with great courage, having put out the
' fire, took the box to Bow-lane Police-station, where it
was found to contain 101 b. of gunpowder, in the centre
of which a fuse had been placed. But for this
opportune discovery much mischief would have been
occasioned, though it is not likely that the Mansion.
house would have been blown up. The walls are °Vet
61t, thick, and the building, which is 170 years old,
was erected with an elaborate solidity which would be
thought remarkable in these days. The box was
placed beneath the east window of the Egyptian Hall,
which depicts William Walworth killing the insurgent
\Vat Tyler, and was in chess, contiguity with the
sleeping apartments. The Lord Mayor personally has
given much offence to his Irish constituents in
Lambeth by voting for the Coercion Bill. The Lord
Mayor was not at home at the time, and indeed no
one was in the part of the building where the box
was placed, so that if it was intended for anyone
inelle they would have escaped injury. As no one
was seen near at the time, the police are not over
.anguine about being able to detect the guilty parties.
