UPWEY.
UPWEY NEW CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCH.

The memorial atone of the new oongregatl3nal
Church, at Upwey, was laid on Wednesday afternoon
by Mr. J. J. Norton, Sheriff of Poole. With the
exception of the brief perio I during which the cere-
mony took place, the weather wee wretched through-
oat the afternoon. Fortunately the rain held up just
before the commencement, but a heavy downpour
came on just as the closing bymn was being sung, and
In the evening it again cleared up.
The new church, towards which good progress is
being made, stands ab )ve the road just at the entrance
to the 'Tillages, and in • position much more convenient
to the majority of the congregation than the old one.
It is to be both of stone, at a Wit of about £1,200,
and will aooommodate 300 persons. It lain the decora-
tive style, and as far as one can judge at its present
stage, it will be an elegant and substantial structure.
Mr. R. C. Bennett, of Weymouth, is the architect,
and Mr. Patten, of Portland. builder.
At the ceremony, the attendance was, considering
the unfavourable circumstances, very good, and
included the Rev. J. Butcher, the pastor' Rev. E.
Bolton, Rev. W. Lewis, Rev. R. Allen, Rev. W. R.
Waugh (Portlaod), Rev. T. Neave (Dorchester), and
other friends of Weymouth and the neighbourhood.
The service commenced with the hymn—
....

"0. L od of hoots, wham glory 11114
The bounds of the eternal hills,"

- ---
Which was Riven out by the Rev. R. Allen. Mr.
H. Rvera (the organ;st 4 Gloucester-street Chapel)
presided at the harmonium. The Rev. T. Neave
having read a porti ur of scripture, most appropriate
for the occasion, tbe Rev. W. Lewis offered a fervent
prayer for the future welfare of the church and con-
gregation.
- The stone baying been placed in position for being
laid, Mr. J. J. Nort m, who was provided with •
silver trowel, gave the signal for the stone to be
lowered, which having been done, he duly tested it
and tapped it with • handsome ebony mallet. The
trowel, which is of silver with an ivory handle, bore
the following inscription beautifully engraved "presented to J. J. Huron, Eeq, on the occasion of
his laying the memorial atone of the Congregational
churclr, at Upwey, on Wednesday, June 16th,
1880." Having declared the atone to be well
and truly laid, he made a short but appro-
priate address. In the course of his remarks
he said when some few days ago their worthy
pastor came to him to ask him to come to Upwey and
officiate in his present capacity, he would boar him
out that it WM with some considerable reluctance that
he consented to corns forward. He deprecated any
Idea of being a public sneaker, for he had only con-
sented to come if somerne else would do the talking.
(Laughter.) He oon,tratulated the church on its good
work, and expreued his great pleasure at being present.
(Applause).

THE FARMERS' POLITICS.

- - —••—••
It is well for us, simply as agriculturist& wa are
persuaded, that the party of movement has thus been
placed in office. No one need fear what men call
Radicalism in farming matter. There is such a deed
weight of custom, personal influence, habitual attitude,
" visit nergia"—such an amount of mem momentum in all
agricultural relations and affairs, that they may be
stirred up to any extent with but slight result or change;
and something approaching in force to • revolution is
required if any material alteration is to be attained.
Anyhow it is. we are satisfied, a happy thing for agricul-
turists that effect is now at length to be given 'o the voice
of the most active and energetic an I confident among
them, let the ',Attical colour of their leader be what it
mar.
Under Kr. Gladstone 's guidance Parliament will abolish
exclusive property in ground game, and it will repeal the
malt tax ; and we shall have legislation, no doubt, levelled
with even bolder hand at whataver of restriction,
privilege, disability, may ho considered Inimical to the
public interest And things which have been talked
about for generations, hitherto in pitiful eubservience all
the time to mere trill loyalty, will at Innigtla be frankly
and honestly diem, with a view to immediate aetioe.
The abandonment the malt tax and the substitution
of • tax on beer will set free the malt manufacture for
many other purposes, and it may thus be a boon to the
cattle feeder. The proposed measure will also benefit the
cultivators of such lands as do not produce a first-rate
quality of barley. The placing ground game at the
Inalienable disposal of the tenant will, so far as legislation
can do it, put an end to that which is in many came a
grievance hir beyond any. Certainly the ownership in
hares and rabbits has been hitherto nothing but an injury.
Energetic, prosperous agriculture is impossible where a
nuisance and a staff for its protection is in constant
Interference with the business of the farmer. And we
heartily welcome the measure which is now happily about
to be enacted.—Agricultural Ossetia

TURKEY AND GREECE.

Europe, in presenting an Identical Noes, took the
Turks by surprise, and has powerfully impressed them
with the gravity of the situation, and with the danger
of resistance. They are astonished to find that the
advent of • new English Ambassador seams already
to have removed the obstacles to united action, and
that Mr. Gkoehen has the c irdial support of the
Embassies at Constantinople, especially that of France,
including even Austria. The Turks are coming now
to understand what in his interviews with the leading
officials Mr. Goechen has insisted on, namtli:jthat
England has no special interest in support the
Tujfrlsh Government. While there is no Inten on of
putting an end to the Sultan's rule, England can
only tolerate it on condition of the adoption of the
reforms.

--;the impression is that the Berlin Conference will
give Greece the three lines proposed; that she will be
authorised to occupy the territory with the guarantee
of the Powers ; that neither Syra nor the other ports
of Greet* shall be injured by the Turkish fleet; and
that if the Ttukiah Government interferes there will
be a naval demonstration.
