MARK-LANE CORN EXCHA NGE.

--
FRIDAY, JAL 14.—About an average quantity of
Engliah wheat-1,130 quarters—has come to hand this
week, coastwise; but the receipts of that grain fresh up,
to-day, were limited. The show of samples was trifling
and the demand for most kinds of wheat of home pro-
duce ruled study, at prices quite equal to Monday.
There was a steady. but by no means active, inquiry
for foreign wheat—the show of which was good—at full
currencies. Floating cargoes of grain were quite as dear
as last week. The show of barley wee moderate, and all
kinds were in fair request, at full quotations. Malt,
however. was dull, but not cheaper. We had a steady
demand for oats, beans, and flour, at extreme rates. In
peas, very little was doing, at barely late rates.

SARDINIA.

OPENINO OF THE SARDINIAN CHAMBERS.

The following is a luminary of the Royal speech :
The King thanks the Chambers for the assistance
afforded hiin during the last see. ' , which consolidated
the national policy and the progress of Piedmont. He
announces that Government will bring in bills for judi-
cial, administrative, and municipal reform. Ile regrets
that the financial crisis and the scarcity of the silk crop
prevented • balance in the national Exchequer.
His Majesty says that the political horizon is not
clear, but that the future must be awaited with firm-
ness. The future cannot fail to be fortunate, because
the policy of Piedmont is based oil justice and love of
its country's liberty. Piedmont is small, but great in
the councils of Europe, on account of the principles it
represents and the sympathies it inspires. It respects
treaties, but is not insensible to Ital)'s cry of anguish.
The King concludes with the words, " Let us reso-
lutely await the decrees of Providence."
Prolonged acclatilat. of " Vira ii RI f' followed
the conclusion of the speech."

ISTRIET OBBTROCTIONS.

The MATOR stated that previous to the Mayoralty of
Mr. Manfield, shopkeepers placing goods outside their
shopdoors, paid a rental of Ad. a week. The incon-
venience to foot passengers having grown excessive, Mr.
lianlield directed the Inspector of Nuisances to sum-
mons persons so obstructing the footway, whereupon the
pay meta was refused except ni one case. At present,
however, goods were placed in u large abundance as
ever outside shops, but no rent was paid.
The TOWN CLERK, in answer to Mr. Hodges, gated,
that by an Act of Parliament, independently of the
local Bye laws, shopkeepers could be summoned for
obstructing the gangway, although payment might be
made by them.
Mr. GALPIN referred to the imminent danger to
passers by, occasioned by the trial of horses in the main
street at the monthly sales.
Mr. Eason said that Messrs. Baker and Brum, the
auctioneers who held the monthly sale, were desirous
of having the practice prohibited.
The Tows CLERK said if a motion were to be made on
the subject it would have to come under the Local
Board of Health business. . . .

A desultory conversation arose relative to a variety
of matters of complaint of • kindred nature, and the
Inspector of Nuisances was ordered to look after the
parties offending.
The MAYOR read a letter received from Mr. Councillor
Coombs, who regretted his inability to attend through
a misconception of the day of adjournment of the
Quarterly Meeting. The communication related to the
inconvenience which would result from enforcing the
licensing and enrolment of leases of the Wollaston field
property, and suggested that every under-lease or
assignment should be registered, and non-registering
within • month should be a forfeiture. Such a registry
would not require a public application to the Council,
as all might be done at the Town Clerk's office. The
subject was deferred until Mr. Coombe could attend, and
bring the subject forward himself.
This concluded the business of the Town Counzil,
when the meeting resolved itself into s
Dorchester, Dorset, England, 1859-05-10

LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

The TOWN CLERK having read the minutes of the
last meeting, read the report of the Inspector of Nui-
sances wherein coin plaint was made of • nuisance at Mr.
Haywlrd's slaughter-house.
A good deal of conversation ensued, when an order
was made for the removal by Mr. Hayward of the
nuisance.
_ . .

The TOWN CLERK placed upon the table two certifi-
cates from the engineer for payments to Mr. Dodson,
on account of his contract A, £230, sewer pipes ke. •
contract B, £.lOO, excavatiuns and labour; and contract
k.lO, watcrworks mains. In reply to Mr. Gilpin, the
Town Clerk said the payment would be made out of the
borough general banking account, which at present stood
at about 1.:1,700.
Mr. STANTON asked if under contract B Mr. Dodson
was not bound to do his work effectually, properly, and
efficiently!
The TOWN CLERK replied in the affirmative.
Mr. STANTON then objected to one farthing being paid
to Mr. Dodson notwithstanding the certificate of Mr.
Whitehead, the work having been imperfectly performed.
He moved an amendment protesting against the pay-
ment of the sum on contract B until the work was
satisfactorily done.
Mr. GALPIN thought the Council had no power to
withhold payment certified to by their engi-
neer. He desired to know how the Board were to meet
gich demands as were left ere the Board went too far!
The Board were at as great an expense as ever, yet
nothing was going on.
Thc order was made. -

The Towg CLERK read a report from the Finance
Committee recommending certain sums for payment.
and an order wait accordingly made. He also read •
report from the Streets' Coinmittee which recommended
the repairing of foot pavements in High-street and
South--itreet. The report was adopted, with the addi-
tmn, moved by Mr. Sh.liop, that the gutters should be
attended to if • surydas remained, and the footway to
be repaired extended, on the suggestion of Mr.
Ualpin, from Mrs. Wood's to the ShirehalL Tenders
for the work are to be advertised for.

BLANDFORD.

The Right Hon. Lord Portman, of Bryanston, has-
presented to the Rev. Robert Leach Bartlett, n. A.,
late of Wadham College, Oxford, the rectory of
Thurloxtun, near Taunton, Somerset, void by the
death of the Rev. Henry Luke, of Thurlbear, Somer.
set. The rectory is wurth about .f2OO a year, with
a residence. The Rev. R. L. Bartlett has resided
in this town during the last seven years„ five years
and a-half of which he was curate of Durweston and
Bryanstnn, where he was greatly beloved by his
parishioners.
FIRE--On Tuesday afternoon the whole of the
barns, outbuildings, fix. on Nutford Farm, Bland.
ford, occupied by -Mr. Henry Ingram, were with the
exception of two or three small bay ricks destroyed
by fire. By the assistance of neighbours and others
the fire was prevented reaching the dwelling heave,
although it was found necessary to remove the
furniture. Mr. Ingram is, we understand, itseesed
in the Globe office.

colorations, scabious eruptions, and other unnatural and
inflamed conditions of the skin are relieved with sur-

cases, that the surface to which it is applied should be
previously foniented with warns water.

Your 'obedient art ant,
Anti 1." It WHITEHEAD.

The Worshipful the Mayor
and the Town Council of Dorchester.
The Town Clerk added that lie saw Mr. Whitehead
when in Doroh,ter last week, and having been served
on Tuesday with a writ for the payment of Messrs.
Burton's claim for pumping, he (the Town Clerk)
requested a report on the subject from Mr. Whitehead.
In accordance with Mr. Whitehead's report, it was
determined to tender to Messrs. Burton £llO without
prejudice.
Mr. STANTON said the whole cost of pumping had
amounted to £407 10s. 90. instead of the £4O originally
estimated.

The TOWN CLERK further read a report on the state
of the reservoir, in which report Mr. Whitehead stated
that he had ordered the contractor, Mr. Gregory, to
relay the floor of the reservoir. The Town Clerk then
read a communication from Mr. Gregory, saying he had
cleared out the bottom of the reservoir, and excepting •
few cracks in the outside, it was perfectly water-tight.
Mr. Whitehead reported also that the mains were per-
fect, and would be ready in three weeks. A long and
desultory conversation ensued, as to the desirability of
obtaining the opinion of some competent engineer upon
the fitness of the bottom of the reservoir, as well as upon
the whole of the works. At length Mr. Galpin ang-
gusted that Mr. Gregory's letter be sent to Mr. White-
head, asking the Engineer's explanation thereof.
Mr. GALPIN recollected Mr. Whitehead saying that
the contractor's work at the reservoir was the best he
had ever seen; yet now the contractor was ordered to
relay the bottom— the contractor, who prior to under-
taking the work offered to accomplish the object in view,
and be responsible for his work, at a cost of £4O less
than the estimate adopted.
Mr. STArrAwr, the Clerk of the Works, was sent for,
and in reply to queries from the Board stated that the
pumps would throw as much as 13,000 gallons for the
first hour, but their average throw was 10 or 11,000
gallons. When the accumulated water in the well was
pumped down to a certain depth the water came in
falter than the pumps could clear it. When the water
was shrunk 27 or 28 feet below the pimp valve, the
pumps could not lift so much as at the commencement
of pumping. The water sank in the reservoir 13 feet in
one night; a 2 inch outlet would take away such an
amount of water. With the exception of Fordington
Cross, and two hydrants all the mains were perfect.
An order was made to reseal the agreement of Mr.
Vaisey, for referring his claim for compensation to arbi-
tration ; said the Board broke up shortly before 2 o'clock.

MR. AND MRS. GERMAN REED'S ENTIRTAI.Ef
—On Thursday evening last Mr. and Mrs.
Reed gave their entertainment at the Townhall to a
highly respectable audience. The first part was
entitled" Flowers gathered from real life," and con-
sisted of a variety of delineations of persons with
whom Mr. and Mrs. Reed are represented to hays
met when on • visit in the counties. The ver-
satile talents of both parrot' mers were well developed:
in the various characters—Mrs. Myrtle, the hearty
old lady in the country ' • Miss Snowberry, a philan-
thropist, and dealer in scandal and charity& ; Master!
Perky Primrose, Miss Elsie Stuart, Miss Amy Budd,.
, a country young lady at a London ball; Sir John
I Quill, a young baronet, who interiarda his converse.
tion with "haw, haws," being each depicted with
characteristic truthfulness which was highly appre-
ciated by the audience. The second part of the
entertainment was entitled "My Unfinished Opera,"
and represents Mr. Reed as a musical composer
intent on composing a grand opera which he ham been
four years engaged on, but unable to complete from
various causes-. He is represented as being located in
• quiet back street, and seta to work in earnest, exult-
ing 'Atha idea that he is in quiet lodgings, but to his
dismay be is disturbed by a loud knocking at the wall,
I and shortly after receives a visit from a lady neighbour
who reproaches him for disturbing her in her poetic
studies. Scarcely is he rid of this tormentor when be
is assailed by Sally Skeggs, a ragged school girl, who
wants a cat that has been thrown in at the window;
her exit is scarcely made and the composer again at
! work, when Madame Chanterie. a French lady mid-
i ing in the house, comes to admire his music and
! offer herself as prima donna for his opera. A scene
; of the most amusing character ensues, and ends in
, the composer relinquishing all idea of completing
his opera..

Owing to the unfavourable news at hand from the
Continent, a very limited business has been transacted
in all kinds of home-grown wool since our last report.
There is literally nothing doing for export, and the

consequently, in sonic instances the quotations have
had a drooping tendency. The stocks have somewhat
increased of late.

MAYOR Lou GINTLIIiEI,--1 hog to lay before you a
ststetnent of the quantity of water derived from the well and
of the performanoe of sour pumping machinery ; it in my in-
teotion to verify the latter, by pumping into a vowel of ac-
knowledged tightness. and capacity, an soon as your contrac-
tors shift the delivery pipe into the reservoir to Ito proper
Inset ; they have been directed to do thin for mine weeks pain.
Referring to my rep,rt dated November 17th, 1037, the
quantity rained from the heading. per hour was 460 gallons,
and after the reel of Saturday night and Sunday, the quantity
raised on Monday, November Ugh, 1e47. WY 20.000 gallons.
This quantity waa derived entirely from the well and the
headings. The present yiell of the well is 320,000 gallons
daily. 6,000 inhabitants could hardly require more than
100,000 gallons daily. It gives me pleasure to make this
statement to the Council.
The avenge performance of the pumping machinery does
not exceed 11,000 gallese of ester per hour raised into the
reservoir. The strokes per minute of the pump vary from 26
to V. The pump+ have caved to draw waiter at a distance of
3711. bin. below the "clack" or under valve of the pump

" plumpers" for Mr. Banked' at the recent election,
dined together at the Greyhound Hotel. There
were about eighty present. S. S. Corry, Esq.,
presided, and S. W. Whetham, Fen. officiated as
the vice-chairman. H. N. Bsnkes, Esq., Richard
Tucker, Esq., and the Rev. Mr. Roper, sat oa
either side of the chairman. The usual loyal and
patriotic toasts were drunk, and the health of H. N.
Henkel', Esq., and Mrs. Henke* were received with
enthusiasm. Mr. Bankes gave some biota to his
supporters, urging them to be united in their inte-
rests, and assuring them that if the present govern-
ment could secure a majority in the HOUJO of com-
mons there would be no danger of their losing
member for Brelport. He., therefore, wished thew
to take the necessary steps for increasing the strength
of the Conservative party, and expressed his deter-

WILTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. —The first ex-
hibition of flowers, fruit, and vegetables, for the
season, took place on Tuesday at the Council House,
Salisbury. The show was not so large as on some
former occasions, various circumstances, over which
the society hail no control, having tended to diminish
the number of exhibitors. Still there was much to
admire— indeed some of the specimens could not
have been surpassed. One in particular, Medi/id/a
Magiioicts, exhibited by tlr. ('hard, attracted great
attention. The azaleas and roses were also very line
and the vegetable class left nothing to be desired.
The umpires were Mr. Wheeler, of Warminster, Mr.
Sanders, of Tedwurth, and Mr. Dodds, of Salis-
bury.
Woonnomorun.—Singulai Death. —Two brothers
named Thomas and Stephen Brown, who lived with
their brother .Tob (the landlord of the Rose and
Crown Inn), quern:lW and fought about two niutittlis
ago, while in a state of intoxicrtion. Both of them
fell to the ground in the scuffle, and while there
Thomas gut one of his brother's lingers into his
mouth, which he bit at dreadfully as to render ampu-
tation necissary. The cutting off of the injured
linger did not, however. prevent the evil effect of the
bite ft-3m spreading, and the poor fellow was obliged
subsequently to have the whole of the lingers on that
hand amputated. Inflammation afters arils ensued,
and on Saturday week, Stephen Brown died, a vic-
tim to his brother's intoxicated rage.
coNri RM TIoN. —The Bishop of Salisbury held
Confirmation at Nlarlborough on Wednesday week,
in the morning at St. Peters' Church, and in the
afternoon at the College chapel. In the course of his
Lordship's iuldress, lie remarked that the reason of
his holding the confirmation at this period was in
order that it should take place during the residence
of the present rector, the Rev. Prebendary Tufnell,
who has accepted an Australian bishopric.
ELECTION MOT AT CALNit—A very serious riot
occurred here on Saturday night after the close of
the poll. The defeat of Mr. Henley seemed greatly
to excite a mob of persons who had collected in the
town, and a row commenced, which the police en-
deavoured to quell, but without effect. Ile mob
attacked them, and a regular fight ensued, in which
the police used their staves very freely. (inc inan,
who was endeavouring to persuade his son to go
home, received such severe injuries on the load that
he was carrieed home insensible, the blood streaming
from his head and ears. Others were much hurt.
The mob became perfectly enraged, attacked the
police in force, and drove them into the Townhall,
where they kept them prisoners for two hours, but
eventually they escaped. The mob then demolished
every pane of glass ir, the police-station, smashed the
windows of Mr. Clarkson's office (the agent of Mr.
Lowe, and Lord Lanstlawne's solicitor), and kept
the town in terror until a very late hour at night.
Mr. Lowe was not seen in Caine at all tin the polling-
day. It is said he went to London by an early

Tiveirrox. A necdote of Lord Palmerston.
During the vied of the noble lord to his constituents
at the recent election, an incident occurred, which,
from its novel character and as illustrating his lord-
ship's general courtesy and kindness deserves to be
recorded. It appears that the eldest daughter of
Mr. John Shetland, one of his lordship's oommittee,
had become of age on the 29th (the day of the elec-
tion), and a bottle of very old Irish whiskey which
had been presented to her at her birth was to be
opened on that day. On the cireumstances 'wing
wen.ioned to his lordship, he at once proceeded to
the residence of Mr. Sharland, accompanied by sere.
rd of Ins friends, where in the presence of a select
'arty, who were celebrating the event, he drew the
cork, filled the glasses, and in a complimentary
speech drank to the health of the young lady. His
lordship honoured the party for Sonic tune with his
presence, and after responding to thy toast of Lady
Palmerston, he took his leave.

The Dresden Journal of to-day, in reference to the
denial given by the Emperor of Rimini says :--

treaty between RUSIIiA and France, yet an arrangement
may have been made with the object of ',revolting
Austria from coining victorious out of the present
conflict.

After a long, sbarp, and personal controversy between

to let the evidence of the adultery go to the jury ; slid,

rho evidence has tended to show very great feeling on
the part of Mr. Sickles out hearing of his wife's frailty—

THE COLONIAL &MICE.— It hay been decided to
erect into a colony the district of Moreton Ray, now a
tort of the Gayer 1111 l ent of New South Wales. The
formation of this district into a Xeparitte colony has
been for the last six years urgently and repeatedly
pressed by the inhabitants on the flonw Goveniment.
A delay in NCCollillit to their petitions was occasioned by
the necessity of an arrangement for apportioning the
public debt as between Sydney and Moreton flay, a point
cv satisfactorily adjusted. The separation now
i Meted will, no doubt. lead to • great and rapid
development of the colony thus created, which will
take the name of queenaland. The governor selected
preside lOW the new colony Is SIT (IMMO Fergtllioll

Lord High Commissioners of the Louisa Wands, • post
he has held for some time to the approbation of his
anperiors. Sir George ltowen was formerly • Fellow id
Brazenou and a lint elasaninn, and has obtained con.
siderable distinction in literary as well as official
circles. His appointment is likely to he popular ill
Australia. Sir Benjamin Pine. now Governor of the
Golil Coast, has been appointed Lieutenant-Governor of
st. Christopher's. It will be semi that Sir Edward

of promotion in the servix as the heat mlieanm of aecurin,r

can be obtained. Thu name cif the capital of British
