We hear that a Master and Mistress have been
appointed for the new school in this parish The day
of opening has not yet been azed no doubt it stUl bee
day to be remembered.
PAROCHIAL.—In consequence of the sequestration of
the living I?), there is great difficulty in obtaining •
clergyman to perform the oersteds. Much Sine la spent
even on Sundays In going from place to place to get aid,
consignently tb• parishioners seldom know until the
bill "tugs when the servitie will commencer, if at all. The
fearful muddle this parish is fast drifting into is some-
thing serious to contemplate. A petition has b.en
lately got up, and signed by SONO of the parishioners,
asking a clergyman to sortie and take the duty for £OO
a year and the house, which Is at present not at for
habitation—(surely no 'teen/prise ought to be naked to
do thi.)_thot the moi,tas cf 14 liviwy (1) may go
towards paying the debts el the Vmar, who has never
I eves lived hare, and has brought nothing but sorrow
and discard. Ought not the inhabitants to stir them-
selves out of this slough of despond, and join together
to pay some gentleman well for his servictes, instead of
demeaning thcansolves and trying as got their Sunday
work done at balf-price, running really hither and
thither seeking whom they can ouch. It is humbling
indeed: Happy thought.l The new schoolmaster
should have b-en in orders, thus killing two birds with
the same stone. What the result to the parish would
be were the neighbouring clergy to "strike," and sat
their faces strenuously against such treatment, we
cannot guess; but, that this result may happen, is
moat probable, and certainly most justifiable. A more
urgent reason than all why the parish should endeavour
to have a minister of their own is this, that every
oh.rsy man around both in the diff,tent parishes and
inatitutions—hospital, school, gaol, anti asylum—has
his own bounden duty to perform, and without In some

MR. SOESUCK AT SHEFFIELD.

the Church of England. Be continued r—flere is a
great book, which I mention with all reverence—l mean
the Bible—and men say that book should not be

the miserable made happy. Al to foreign politics, he
regarded the contest now going on between Europe

MR. J. J. MEM ON AGRICULTURE.

At s meeting of the Midland Farmers Club, In
Birmingham, on Thursday evening, • letter was read ,
from Mr. J. J. Meech', in whieh he referred to the
question of Agriculttre. He said :—" The more I

that it would be *weirdly far ti interest of the land.

largo that teats and free 'hence' should be made for
the entrance of capital by moans of security of tenure,
valuation for tenants' unexhausted improvementa, and
particularly freedom of cotton in regard to orcpping and
selling crops. On this system on my own farm, I have
this year had a much better return of profit than I
expected. The result of all is that for the year ending
814 December, 187 S, my farm balaneeshoet of 170 scree

paring all other expenses), avallatue for rent, interest,
and profit. If I had been tied to the foul-course shift
and other restrictions no such result would have been
attained. When hay and straw ars very dear I sell
them at market. When cheap, as last year, I twosome
them. This is the true oomatetoial principle applied to
sericulture, which will nova program in proportion to

OM FRIDZILIC JOHNSTON; 11.;

It le widely reported that Sir Frederic hu quitted the
town in disgust et the imaliness of the majority. Sir
Frederic must make allowance for the immense intermit
felt in Yr. Edwards, who ha, so long, so often, and
always at such appropriate times, appeared and resided
for • season in Weymouth. The hom baronet is well
acquainted with the fact that "Property has its duties,
as well as its rights," and if beta continuously to er.joy
the honour of being the representative of Weymouth,
as well as the advantage of reoelving its rents, he will
oommence at the right end by taking a resideLoe in the
place, and personally seeing to its interests. Sir
Frederic has 6.stawod benefits on Weymouth, and from
the time of his first appearance, we have held the opinion
that he was a natural representative of property
here. To be chosen of hearts is a fez greater honour,
and Sir Frederic must continue to pin that, as he
began so well by taking the chair at the Oddfellows'
dinner, by planting the Now Gardens, by laying the
foundation stone of the Hospital, and in hie canvass, by
personal influancte. The ballot gives the power to the
will of the people, and those who ere to phi their good-
will must hare

WEYMOUTH ELECTION.
...
ALLEGED BRIBERY: RUMOURS OF A
PETITION.

MONDAT.
There are, as usual, report, of bribery afiost respect-
ing the election; but we Wier* there islittl• or nothing
in them. It will be very strange indeed if, in the
incitement of such • gre.t battle, there were not one or
two oases of what might look like 'treating;" but that
wes probably little more than a neighbourly drinking
together, and could not 'mount to corruption. There
might &leo have been • few "favours," ie. coloured
ribbons, given away; but theee were very few indeed.
Really, the genuinenees of th• crowd', feeling was shown
by their mounting blue 'toffs of all, even the com-
monest kinds, and blue paper, in their determination to
show the colours. Ai to the treating, no one can doubt
bet that • glue or two were promised and drunk on
both aides; but after the experience of Taunton Elec.
lion petition, It will be wonderful if anything can be
done towards endangering Mr. Fdwards's return. An
over•excitesble man may have committed an indiscre-
tion ; but the general remelt, the 492 maprity, can
hardly be nibbled at, retch lees seriously reducted. If
it were pomible to do so, a very large number of the
Conservatlvem must be proved to be implicated, for it
cannot be doubted they voted for Mr. Edwards, and
the Only ffeot, even if what we judge impoesible were
done, namely that • large amount of oorruption should
be proved, would certainly be that the borough would
be disfranchised, So far from this being Healy, we
believe the Conservative' are too well aware of their
strength, to seriously attempt the task. They know
that parties are so evenly balanced here, that if the
Lib rals were to have au opportunity, say by Sir
Frederto's choice, of repeating the fight, and they were
to strive for a mooed Lberal, they would be defeated.
Those who believe in the fairness of each party being
rer eeeee ted, are suffioiently numerous to hold the
holism:* of power. The popularity of Mr. E tweeds
wade the victory of the Liberals, in this instance so
great, and the Conservative member will do well for his
cause, if lie strive to gain Ile popularity. At all
events, the struggle for the representatioa of Weymouth
lies between the Liberal and Conservative champion,
personally. II Mr. Edward, attend the larger number
sf diviaimu, Weymouth might appear as Liberal, if Sir
Frederic be the most attentive, its influence will be
Conservative, so that we ought to comps the oon•
temptible fate of tho seboroughs which have member.

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS.

The Observer of Sunday believes that until the elm).
dons are concluded no decision will be oome to by the
Ministry as to the steps; to be taken in the event of the
Opposition obtaining " • decisive majority."
The Morning Port expects the Premier will tender
his . resignation, and, according to constitutional
precedents, adviee the Queen to sond for Mr. Disraeli.
The Conservative Leader will then at onoe prooeed to
form • Cabinet, for which be has ample materials ready.
The names of Lords Derby, Salisbury, sad Cairns in
the Lords and of Messrs: Gathorne Hardy, Ward
Hunt, and Sir Stafford Nortboote in the COO2lOOOll, at
otos suggest a nucleus round which be will have little
difficulty in arranging • powerful and respectable
Administration.
The Boos, of Commons will meet, we believe, on
Thursday, the sth of March. Three or four days will
be oosupled in swearing in members, and probably on
Tuesday, the 10. h, the Speaker will be elected. One
of his duties will be to issue new write for the seats
vacated by **mottoes of office. The new eleetions will
occupy the best part of • fortnight, and thus we are
brought to about the 251 h of Marsh before the new
Ministers can all take their seater on the Treasury
Bondi. Then will come the neceeity for Cabinet
Councils and study of their respective ditties by the
new occupants of effic.. But Good Friday falls on the
3rd of April, and no doubt both the Government and
the House will be glad to avail themselves of the
Easter holidays. Thiuse will probably be shortened as
fax as possible. but we am hardly anticipate that any
business will be traneacted before the 10th or 12th of
April. After thie the Budget must necessarily be di

As might be expected, the elections have to some
extent interfered with business on our market; never.
theirs', there has been • fair trade purling in most of
the kinds of sgricultural seeds required for erring
sowing. is noted in our last, the purest samples of
English red clovers are scarce and dear ; but for
seeondary qualities, we most now report a decline of
2s. to 3, per cwt. These inferior qualities are offering
pretty freely, and the demand for thorn being dull,
values are naturally weaker. All desoriptioas of foreign
red clover seed are held with great &lunges. In tre-
foils there has been more doing. Alsik., and whit*
clover exhibit no change. Rye-grasses are now more
inquired for; the heavier weights being scans are
high in vine. Imported Italian continues in steady
request, For spring tares we have a brisker demand;

Large assembly in front of the King's arms Hotel; and,
when knowledge of the victory Weems general, there
were hearty shouts of "Beyrner for ever" and great
cheering. In a few minutes Mr. Butner appeared at
the hotel window, and spoke as follows :
Gentlemen, electors of Dorehester.—l have to thank
you for the very proud position in which I an, ..ow
plaerd—(obsers sod hisses). I have not to thank
myself for this proud position, it la simply because of
the atom whisk I serve. You have placed me in the
proud position of a majority of 120—(eheers, end

fay and do all I can for you—not only to live
near you, but to live in your minds—(applause and

I were to stand here for • fortnight I am afraid I weld

and disapprobation).
Alter this there were several lights between partlsins
on either side; a good many were excited about the
result, and some had been drinking in honour of the
victory or to keep up their spirlte under defeat, sa that
they became reasonably jolly and unreasonably glib of

before midnight—thanks to Mr. riruec—the town was
