NOTES OF THE WEEK.

Her Majesty, the Qaesn't•Boyal Bounty *the
poor of the metropolis at Christmas was diatri-
butrd at the Almonry office in &outland Yard.
i he number of persons who were relived in sums
of 51. and ISs each exceeded 1,000 in the
aggregate, and as these mate of warm were well
known to the clergy who distributed the gifts;
they were, we may be sure, supplemented by
ethers suffieleot to enable the recipients to enjoy
our gee it feast of charity.
The Duke of Edinburgh has taken 'save of the
Queen at Whom..., before setting out for St.
Petersburg to be married. He leaves England
to-day (Turday), to be followed by the Prince
and Princess of Wake ten drays later. The
Owens notifies the appointment of Lieut. J. W.
Ramsay to be equerry to the Duke of Edinburgh,
eke the lion. Eliot Constantine Yorke, resigned,
and who is appointed extra equerry.
The unseemly quarrels between the Masters
which have brought the once famous school of
Rugby, associated as it is with the great names of
Arnold and Temple into sad disgrace, culminate
in the dismissal by the Governing Body of the
Head Muter. kverybody deprecates the im-
portation df • political element into these un-
emly squabbled, but we her many friends of
the school expzesu satLfactiou that Dr. Hayman
is not likely to leave matters where doubtless
the governing Bodywould like. Dr. Hayman has
determined it is said, to apply to the Court of
Queen's Bench for • snansionana, or will seek
such other remedy for ventilating his grievance
as the law may afford.
It is confidently believed that there will be no
contest for the representation of West Somerset,
and that the valiancy canoed by the death of
Mr. W. H. P. Gore-Langton, will be filled by
M. jor Vaughan Lee, of Lonely, bear Cardiff, and
heir to Mr. John Lee Lee, of Dillington Park,
Ilminster, who lithe owner of extensive estates
in Someiset. Msj sr Lee has been unanimously
accepted by the Conservative party, and in his
address promises consistent support of Conserva-
tive principles, the Church of England, and
religious education, and says—'• The subject of
local taxation shall receive my most anxious and
careful attention, with a view to • fair adjust-
ment of the burdens which at present press so
heavily on the ratepayers." At Stroud a lively
contest is proceeding, and both Mr. Dutington
(Conservative), • local landowner and resident,
and Sir H. Havelock (the Liberal candidate)
express themselves sure of succor.

KsS AND AinlC

advocating emigrvtion on a large wale to
Canada • and, 'Rhon DO doubt it is a good
colony ior hardy resolute workers, we believe the
large majority of Dorset Labourers, accepting
Mr. Dos's statement that the proposed emigra-
tion will be "good for thee who go, and good
for those who remain behind" will prefer experi-
encing the accruing a +vantages in the latter
category. But the Union has also had a
political development, and now lnaliides in its
programme the sseimlistion of the county with
the borough franchise. But thighs only the fringe
of a great subject, for politicians of all shades of
opinion admit it involves a re-dharibution of
seats and various considerations of the gravest
character, so that years must elapse before any
approximate solution is attained. Meanwhile
our efforts will be directed to the advanoement
of the interests of the oounty generally, and to
doing our utmost to merit cionfidenoe as purveyors
of newa We trust that in the coming year old
friends will still stand by us and that new readers
may and in our pages the information and
entertainment they need. We shall enter upon
1871 with good hope, and resolving to do all in
our power to merit the confides. and support
of our readers. Relying on their friendly
qmpathy, we cordially wish well one "A
