AMID/MT.—We regret to record an in-
stance of the danger attending the neglect of that
necesaary precaution in proceeding down a hill with
a loml of timber—the apply ing the "lock" to the

Andrews, of Church Farm. bad been out for a load
of timber, and when near hie home, on his return,
neglected to put on the "lock." the horses became
unmanageable, and in his endeavour to atop them
he fell under the a heels, both of ehich passed over
his thigh. He was conveyed home, and such were
the serious nature of the injeries, that he had to

HARE-LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

FRIDAY, Ann 19. Most of the samples of English
wheat on sale here to-day same to land in fair
condition, but the show was far from extensive. All
good and fine qualities moved off staidly, at full
prices, but inferior parcels ruled dull, at bareley late
rates. In the demand for foreign wheat there was
no activity, yet the quotations, especially for good
and fine samples, were well maintained. For floating
cargoes of grain, the inquiry was limited. In their
value, however, there is no change to report. Fine
malting barley sold deadly, at previous rates; but
all other descriptions ruled dull. The transactions in
malt were chiefly in good and fine qualities, at late
rates. The oat trade was firm, at full the late advance
in prices. Both beans and peas changed hands
at full currencies. In flour a moderate business was
doing on former terms.

unjust, that he felt it his duty to oppose its further
progreu, moved to defer the Committee for six
months.
The amendment was second by Mr. Beecroft.

Mr. Mellor defended the Bill;
Mr. G. Hardy opposed the Bill, considering its real
object to be • covert attack upon endowments through..
out the country, though the authors of the measures
were innocent of such design.
Mr. Dillwyn, in replying to objections to the Bill.
—the principle of which, he remarked. had been affirmed
by the Houee,—repelled the charges of enmity to reglion,
of spoliation and of aggressioo upon the Church,
brought against its advocates, and cited cases of
grievances under the elisting law.
Lord a. Cecil, in opposition to the Bill, observed
that one of the duo. of alleged grievances adduced
by Mr. Dillwyn furnished ono of the strongest argu•
mints against his own measure, and pointed out what
he believed would be its mischievous effects under the
active agency of the Liberiition Society.
Mr. Ball said he had hitherto supported the Bill.
but he had been sines very muali influenced by the
' representatiou of the Wesleyan body that it would he
very injurious to their society. A large portion of the
Dissenters were likewise more Inclined to oppose than to
emport the measure. Having voted for she second
reading of the Bill, lie should vote for going into Com-
mittee ; at the same time he should go into it with an
'Beret feeling.
Mr. Henley considered the speech just delivered as a
speech egsiim.s Hi° Bill. He thought it Mater tii
the questions arising in these eaves to • court of law
than to pass a Bill, which must have some object, that
object not being clearly understood.
Mr. Buxton said lie had come down to the House
intending tosupport the Bill, but what he had heard
induced him to change him intention.
Upon a division, the amendment was carried by 200
to 171 ; the Bill is lost.

Mauston, Eitorminster Newton, April, 1881.
"My Lord,-1 have just read in Ni. public papers
with much surprise, a letter from your Lordship to
the Rev. Robert Grant, in which your Lordship
seems to claim, as Bishop of the Diocese, the power
of over.riding by some mysterious act of episcopal
authority, the established law of Ni! church.

" Ass humble' member of doe March,' to whose
' natured cemrietione' your Lordship appeals, sail
residing within the Diocese of Salisbury, I beg most
entirely to repudiate this claim, and moat emphati-
cally to deny the existenoe of any power w this
country superior to the laws of the realm.
Mr. Kennard in his letter of protest to you, Iwo in
fact .iniply done his duty, in vindicating a well-ratab-
hailed principle of Englah law,and protesting against,
its violation.
He merely claims for himself and others, the right
which your Lordship will hardly venture to deny, of
free inquiry and discussion within the -
ly laid down and specifically defined by the articles
of the Church, for the guidance of her ministers.
Your Lordship must indeed be a sanguine man,
and, as it appears to me, strangely to misinterpret
_the
signs of the times, if you anticipate that the Lwisla -
lure of this country will consent, in this ninereerith
century, to narrow the basis of church communion
within the limits already prescribed in the
sixteenth.

I sub, my Lord,
With profound respect,
Your most humble esremit,

WS WITH A DCCIAIRD WhIR HISTTR.

On the neat onler, for the second reading of the
Marriage Law Amendment Hill, legalizing marriage
with • deceased wife's sister, moved by Mr. M. Manes,
Mr. Pease very briefly supported the Bill.
Mr. Her Seywer, without discussing the religious
question, considered it • matter of great iniportauce to
place the law of the laud iu conformity with the law of
the Church of England, which, as well as that of the
Church of Scotland, regarded the marriages proposed to
be legalized as contrary to the Word of eked. The law
of the land had alway• hell these marriages to he
illegal, And the argument in f•vour of an alteration of it
derived from their fierpiency would be applicable to
bigamy, which was equally frequent. The practice of
foreign Protestant countries upon this as well as other
' points should be no guide to us.
Sir M. Palo said the Nonconformists of England did
not condemn marriages of this nature. He regarded
this a poor man's question, and, treating it merely as •
social one, he should support tie Bill.
Mr. Milnes having replied, the House divided, when
the amendment was carried by 177 to 172.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of,
without discussion, and after some further business
the House adjourned at five minute* to 6 o'clock.

LIVINGSTONE'S LAST RESRARCIIES IN
AFRICA.

Sir R. L. Murchison writee :—" Of the abiding
influence exercised by Livingsti.ne over the minds and
affections of the native* of South Africa the most
striking examples were narrated by that great travellei
when he told us of the staunch fidelity of his Macololu
compsnious under the must tryiug difficulties, and
how these poor natives were awaiting his return on the
lower Zambesi, in the confident belief that he would
make good Lis pledge to reconduet them to their homes.
To the honour of our country, my intrepid and dia
tinguished friend has houourahly kept his wool. By
the last packtt 1 learn from himself that, after a journey
of about 1,400 miles, for the most part performed on
foot, ho has (with hum companions, I.)r. Kirk and Mr. I
Charles Livingstone) revisited his friend the King
Sekelutu, at Sheskeke. and taken back the remnant of
his Macololo escort. The discovery and opening out of
the great river Shire and the examination of the
salubrious mountains on its banks having been coni•
pleted, Livinptone then set about to realise his
promise to the Macololo, and in this last journey has
made considerable additions to geographical and geo-
logical knowledge. Thus he has defined the course of •
the chief affluents of the Zambesi, the depth of that river
at different seasons, and the nature and extent of its
rapid's. lie has also ascertained that the coal of the sand- I
stone region (which I believe to be the true of old coal)
is vastly extended to the k;ast, the mineral frequently
reappearing in natural outcrops over a very wide area.
Revisiting the celebrated Victoria Falls, and exatnining
them in detail, our faithful explorer has found (a most
uncommon defect among travellers) that he had greatly ,
underrated their magnitude in his published work. I
Their breadth, which he had estimated at about 1,000
yards, is now ascertained to be at least 1,860 yards, with
a slicer fall of 310 feet. These and many other pheno-
mena will be treated of at the uext meeting of the Royal
Geographical Society on the nul inst., when an in-
teresting memoir will be read describing the country
lying between Kafue and the Victoria Falls as occupied
by the flatoka, an industrious and agricultural people,
of peculiar habits, who were very kind to our travellers.
In his last letters, dated the Ist and 2nd of February
last, from Kongone, at the mouth of the Zambesi,
Livingstone announces that the new steamboat, the
Pioneer, which has been sent out to him by her Majesty's
government, was in the offing, and, thus provided, he
proposed to ascend the river to beyond the Portuguese
eettlenstritts, and thenee carry out the ulterior objects of
expedition.

BLANDFORD.

Rums CORPS.—An unusual excitement prevailed
in this town on Thursday evening last, owing to the
Blandford corps marching for the second time this
season to Mill-down, beaded by their fife and brass
bands. After going through various field move-
ments, which were well executed, Ensign Atkinson
addressed the men as follows :—" if the members of
the corps would give their individual attention to
drill, they would be second to no other corps in the
county ; that the wheeling of sub-divisions of the
whole compiny was excellent." On their return to
the Corn Exchange the oath of allegiance was admin-
istered to the boys of the fife and drum band by
Lieutenant Johns. The opinion also of the members
of the oorps waa taken on the boy's band clothes,
which connate of red knickerbockers,black enamelled
gaiters, embroidered jacket, and red and white
turbans. The dress resembles that of the French
Zouaves, and we feel certain where the fife and drum
band appears they will be the centre of attraction.
LEGAL YROCCEDINOI.—WS understand that the
case of Vizart/ v. Brine, which a short time ago was
heard at Blandford, and in which case the umpire
awarded .£l5O damages to the plaintiff, each party
bearing his own expenses, is likely again to be
brought before the public ; an appeal being made to
the courts above.

SHOOTING MATCH.-Full particulars of the return
match between the Wimborne and Blandford corps
appointed to take place to-day (Tuesday) at Rad-
bury, will appear in our next.
TISIIPSRANUIL—A meeting to further the tempo.
ranee movement was held last Friday in the Town-
ball. Mr. Snook, of Brianstone, took the chair. The
Rev. T. Warner addressed the audience at some
length on two evils—the buyingand selling of intoxi•
eating drinks. At the oleic, five names were added
to the pledge-book.

cups, tiring with carbines at eighty yards range. The
successful competitors were Corporal Legg first, and
private Joseph Legg, second prize. In addition to
the !above named, four others, namely Sergeant
Dominy, John Caines, George Dodge, and William
Pawley gained positions on the alore, entitling them
to contend for the regimental cup to be shot for at
Weymouth in the ensuing month.—After the shoot.
ing, the members of the Troop were regaled with a
plentiful supply of bread and cheese, and copious
draughts of the celebrated MelburyHouse beer, which
was supplied in accordance with the customary

MENDER IN MNCBI LAX!, COWCIDDENS, OLAINIOW.
—A little before three o'clock on Sunday morning,
Patrick Ketny or M'Kenny, and his brother-in-law,
Patrick Conway, along With two girls named Ant.
Graham and Mary Connolly, went into the house ut
Michael Sherry, 44 Meuse Lane, said to be • sliebeen.
for the purpose of procuring some liquor, and while ii
the house, • man named Daniel Fraser, and another
man named AL'Wade, joined their company.
After having been in Sherry's about ten minutes, the
four who entered together, got up, and, accompanied
by Frazer and M'Wetle went out into the lane. li'Wede
and the girl Graham went away, leaving the others
behind in conversation. Fraser made • remark to
M'Ketina which the other two psalm did not obeerve,
but it irritated M'Kenna, who struck Fraser • light
slap on the face, and walked down Meuse Lane,
towards the plate where his body was afterwards found.
Conway and the girl Conolly went away at the same
Lime in an opposite direction, leaving Fraser standing in
the middle of the lane alone. The 7 heard Fraser cry
out to 3llientia, " I'll see what that* for." and within
an hour afterwanls M'Kenna was found by the constable
lying in the centre of the court, 64 Meuse Lane, dead, ,
with his face towards the ground, and a large quantity
of blood below him. Fraser was arrested by the
police, and was charged with having stabbed a man.
He denied that he lied done so, bat on learning thi!
the man he was charged with stabbing was dead, h..
evinced a good deal of trepidation. Dr. Miller ea-
endued the body of the deceased shortly after it was
found, and he reports that the deceased received
stab half an inch in length three or four inches below '
the neck on the left breast ; and we understand that
the blade of the knife corresponds with the use of tit,
wound indicted.

TUESDAY

At the time of private business, a motion for the
second reading of the Street Rail Conipany Bill gave
rise to considerable discussion, and ultimately the
second reading was put off for six months, which is
equivalent to the rejection of the Hill.
Mr. A. Smith moved for a Select Committee to in-
quire into Cie rights of the Crown and public, as well
a.s of individuals, as connected vitt, the foreshores and
tidal waters of the United Kingdom ; the manner in
which the Commissioners of Woods and Forests are
dealing with the same, and the state of the law affect-
ing this description of property.
The motion was seconded by Captain Jervis.
Sir J. Hanmer opposed the motion.
Mr. Finlay supported the motion.
The Attorney-General, adverting to the wide and
comprehensive scope of the proposed inquiry, embracing
not only the rights of the Crown and of the public, but
of individuals, said a more revolutionary or extravagant
proposition had never been submitted to the House.
Upon a division the motion was negatived by 176
to 67. .

Sir F. Smith called attention to the report of the
Commissioners appointed to inquire into the control and
management of Her Majesty's naval yards, and he was
proceeding in his observations when the House we.
counted oat at • quarter to 8 o'clock.
