"Fading away "ha. for several dap been the descrip-
tion of the chromotypel claims for damages during the
Electiou, for the notices were often illegible at the
church mad chapel doors. Now the clahns seem to have
faded away altogether, for at the last County Petty
fiasions they were withdrawn. Although no felony
)' may have bete committed when the damage was done,
It seems unsatisfactory that householders should has
, through the disgraceful acts of the mob. But then ten
' guineas between two of MU substantial tradesmen is not
- much.

Although the attendance at the Farmers' Club
meetings has been rather small, it was not for want of
I i subjects for discussion, and the late season certainly
; I closed with an extraordinary Increase In the length
1 and number of its speeches. The last regular night
for discussion witnessed quite a double event, Mr.
Stiby adding to the subject on the agenda paper some
arguments against Highway Boards, and eliciting •
11l ) good deal of opinion. At the annual dinner also, a
great deal more than mere compliments were
exchanged, for the worthy hon. secretary, Mr.
Andrews, offered practical remarks on the setnement
of hand which deserve all consideration, and the
laments of High Eaet-strest, that visitors are delayed
by the cattle market, brought out from that well.
established and respected auctioneer, Mr. T. Baser, a
series of plain statements respecting the now very
Important Dorchester Cattle Market, showing the
value and importance of free and unrestricted trade.
Whatever may have been the numbers attending the
regular meetings, there can be no doubt that the
i Dorchester Farmers' Club contains an immense deal
of practical knowledge, not altogether latent. Dr.
Aldridge be one could wish to a member of the
I i i Government, he so clearly showed that farmers'
interest. must be attended to, and although Mr. Chap-
man Saunders expects but little, or realer nothing,
;
1 from the present Government, let us hope he will
more than illustrate the old saying "Blessed is he that
I expecteth nothing, for he shall never be disappointed,"
and will be compelled to acknowledge, from force of
benefits conferred on the agriculturists and breeders of
stock, that the Liberals are the true farmers' friends.

Olive-branches waved by the Dorchester Town
Council beckon back the member who had got tired
of them. All is to be forgotten, if the Dr. will only
come back. In the interests of peace and reunited
Dorchester let us hope he will, remembering that,
whether alderman or councillor :--
" The rank is but the guinea stamp,
The man's the gowd for a' that?
Perhaps we may venture on an alteration of Burns,
. and add that :-
1 " Councils may make their Mayors aright,
• • Their aldermen and a' that ;
But 11111 honest man's aboon their might;
fluid faith, they manna fa' that I
' For a' that, and • that,
The pith u' genes, and pride o' worth
I Are higher ranks than • that."

The Atalanta is now supposed to have foundered In
a tremendous gale which sprang up • few days after
she left the Bermudas, and by which other ships were
destroyed.
-
Mr. Fawcett, M' .I'. in returning thanks to his
constituents in Hackney on his re-election as
Postmaster-Genera, alluded to Indian affairs, and
1 ,
stated that it MKS known by the late Government an 1
days before the dissolution that, instead of their '
being a surplus, there was a deficit in the Indian
Budget.
-
Mr. Bear, in the Fortnightly Fcriew, skeches briefly
r the essential reforms which the farmers will call upon
the Liberal Government to make -- " Compulsory
compensation to tenants for their unexhausted 1
it r improvements, the prohibition of limited ownership in ,
land, the simplification and cheapening of land
t . transfer, an indefeasible right to tenants to kill ground '
game, and the abolition of the law of distress."
--
Mr. Clare Sewell Read complains to the Central
1 Chambers of Agriculture of the difficulties, expense,
and delay, inseparable from the sale of and, and
declares the expense and complication of the present
system to be scandalous. Mr. Read indeed expressed
i his hope that our land law system may be assimilated
to that of the Americans.
i I 1 MP-
Mr. Schreiber, .., said at Poole :-" Over the
Conservatives the Liberals have a majority of 100,
but of that number about one-half--58 seats in all-
have been won by majorities of under 100, and
amounting in the aggregate to less than 1,300 votes In
all thew constituencies, so that if by • very small
change of public opinion, or by better management,
those votes were transferred from one tide to the
other, the Liberal majority in the Hones of Commons
,11 over the Conservative party would entirely disappear."
We learn from a pamphlet issued by Messrs. Maxon
and Saunders immediately on receipt of the result of
the election in &tins Their, that the numbers of the
votes at the last elections, where there was any test,
were-Liberals 2,031 705, Conservatives 1. ,458.
Mr. F. Bin, the manor, whose " object has been not
to 'sprees ',pinkies, but to record facts," justly says:
"It will be impandble hereafter for either Conan:ye
. i titre or Liberal to question on which aide in the
severalcounties there is a preponderating inflames
or to remain longer whether
r in doubt wheer the heart of this
country at large di Orange or Blue." The remit, are
1 t vouched by the names of candidates in every con-
stituency being mentioned, with the numbers recorded
for each. What does Mr. Schreiber say to this?

PUBLIC MEETING AND "RIOTS."
It some scarcely credible that only a century azo
every public meeting was forbidden, • notice of which,
=staining a statessest of the objects of the meeting,
and of the time and place when it was to be held, had
not beta advertised at least five day, beforehand in
.11bo nows Papers. But even this did lot satisfy the
ts of this °mend= law, for the notice had
t-OVirgil-sl by 6=mA-elders, and the original menu-
mein& to be preserved In cast any nlariatil might
demand • oopy of it; and even after these regulations
had been oomplied with, any single magistrate was
empowered tq disperse the meeting if he chose to con-
sider that the language used at It was calculated to
hr_iettle Government into cAttempt, and to arrest
