TY.STIIIIONIAL. —On Monday afternoon the boys
belonging to the Dorchester National School assem-
bled in their schoolroom for the purpose of taking
part in a presentation to their respected master. Mr.
J. Hoe Cooper, on the occasion of his wedding.
There were also present the Revs. James Fisher,
A. Falkner. and J. Davis, with several of
the Sunday School teAchers. The present consisted
of a large and splendidly-chased silver inkstand,
bearing the following appropriate inscription :
Presented to
• Mat. AND MRN. J. Roe COOPill,
On tlee occasion of their wedding,
By the Managers, Teachers, and Scholars
of the
Dorchester Boys' National School.
February, 1861.

The Rev. James Fisher, in presenting the eourenir,
alluded in very kind terms to the respect which Mr.
Cooper had on for himself by his uniform kind
and courteous bearing, and stated that the course of
conduct which he had pursued would reflect credit
himself and also upon the school over which he
had the honour to preside. Mr. Cooper, in reply,
thanked them very sincerely for the honour they
had done him, and said it was a great pleasure to
him to think that during the time he had
been with them he had gained their approbation
and esteem, and he hoped their kindness that day
would stir him up to renewed efforts, an that he
might further gain their appnitiat and their con.
tidence. Loud and hearty cheers were then given
for Mr. and Mrs. Cooper, after which the party

separated.
His sorshipful the Mayor and Corporation at-
tended Divine service at Trinity Church on Sunday
morning last. The sermon was preached by the
Rev. James Fisher, rector, who took for his text
Daniel ix., part of the 3rd and 4th verses.
WOKE'S° MEN'S bismexx.—lt will be seen, on
reference to our advertising columns, that Ray.
mood Oake, Esq., intends giving an interesting
lecture at the Townhall on Wedueiday evening
next, on "Secular and Sacred Music com-
pared." Mr. 1/ake is hihhly spoken of as a lecturer,
and we have no doubt that an intellectual treat of no
ordinal y character will be afforded.
EXETER BASKIMPTCY 4 'ouicr.—Re JOSEPH RID.
wool", of Dorchester. veterinary surgeon. Mr.
Clarke appeared on behalf of Mr. Redwood. whose
tselve months' protection has expired, and ap-
plied to His Honor for the protection to be es•
tended. All of all.. Redwood's creditors, it seemed,
save one, Mr. Bennett, had consented to the follow•
ins terms of composition : ss. in the pound to be
all shortly, and ss. more at Midsummer. His
Honor granted the desired protection for twelve
months. Mr. Terrell, who appeared for Mr. Ben•
nett, said that he did not obiect to the protection
being given.

COUNTY POLICE.—On Saturday last John O'Sul-
firm, a tramp, was placed before Major-General
Michel, on • charge of begging at Chickerell. P.
C. Kim her said that he was on duty on Friday and
MW prisoner standing before a door, lie asked him
hat was his willing, and he replied he was begging
for bread. He took him into custody, and defendant
struck him down. He then used his truncheon and
broke it, and defendant kicked him. —Prisoner in
his defence said that ifs fellow could not get work he
must beg or do something for is living, and the blows
he gave the policeman did not hurt him.--Committed
for 14 days' hard labour.
Gen PERTZ'S PANORAMA. —This justly.celebrated
panorama was exhibited on Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday evenings last, at the Tuwnhall. The at-
tendance on the first occasion was not so numerous
as could be wished, which might, no doubt, be
accounted for by time inclement state of the weather.
The attendance, however, on the other evenings
was very large, the hall being crowded to excess.
Time public cannot fail to appreciate M. Gompertz's
panorama of Italy, both on account of its artistic
beauty and the truthfulness with which it conveys
, to the minds of the beholders those places and per.
sons that have become conspicuous by the late war
in Italy. The late Albert Smith's panorama of the
Rhine is also a great attraction, and we think will
prove itself a favourite with the public at large.
We can highly recommend the panorama to our
readers,and we think it is likely to ;rove as successful
in meeting the tastes of the public as the panoramic
illustration of the mutiny in India. In consequence
of the inconvenient nights on which M. Gompertz
exhibted his panorama, he kindly extended his stay
till yesterday (alonda), in order to give those per.
soon who were unable to attend on the previous
evenings an opportunity of witnessing his panorama.
