The Lunacy Regulation Bill haying paned through

of, the House adjourned it 26 minutes to 6 o'clock.

TUESDAY.

TH3 BANIIICPTCT BILL.

The Lord Chancellor. in moving the ascend reading
of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill, said that he
anticipated no opposition on the part of the House
to the measure, as he believed that the objections
formerly entertained sgainst it by their Lordships had
been met by the Bill Wore them.
Lord Chelmsford thought that the Bill, without
considerable alterations, would hardly acquire the con-
fidence of the country, and expressed a fervent hope
that their Lordships would not pus the Bill in It.
present state, but would, if • motion to the effect were
made, refer it to a Select Committee.
Lord Cranworth thought the Bill contained many
excellent provisions, and considered the mode in which
It was proposed to abolish the di•tinction between traders
' and non-tradere most satisfactory; and in regard to the
retrospective power of these clauses he thought they
were to • certain extent reasonable.
. . _

-
Lord IC utpdown examined the effects of the abolition
of the distinction between traders and non•traders. and
thought that while it wu perfectly fair to give creditors
summary powers in the case of the former, in the
latter cue it would lead to many hardships, especially
in the case of inexperienced young men. The Bill, he
hoped, would be considerably modified in committee.
Lord Wensleydale wee understood to support the
Bill.
The Lord Chancellor replied to the objections which
had been raised, and expressed his opinion that it would
have been better if noble and learned Lords had re-
served their objections for committee.
The Bill was then read a second time.
Their Lordshipe adjourned at 25 minutes past 8
o'clock.

CRICILILTINO. —Now that we have such beautiful
weather, and the more dangerous, though not less
healthy sports of Foxhuntauf, &c., are over for the

beginning to claim the attention of those who delight
in out door exercise; and we are glad to find that
the Steepleton Park Cricket club are on the alert
and are preparing for the summer campaign. The
members and supporters met together lately, and after
passing the accounts for the past year, re•elected as
their Secretary, Mr. J. Stulks,•and Mr. J. Ingram,

a very efficient committee. The prospects of the

IWERNE lIIINSTEIt.

MAlritisue Farr:wine:R.—Another of those happy
events, which are now seized upon by the more in.
terested parties as occasions for showing forth their
hospitality, occurred in this picturesque village on
Thursday, when Francis Hart, Esq., of Preston,
near Yeovil, led to the hymenial alter the second
daughter of John Fry, Esq., of Livonia. The bridal
corilge arrived at the church at about a quarter to
12, in carriages, and the ceremony was performed by
the Hey. H. Downing. In the early part of the day,
triumphal arches of evergreens, bailing suitable
mottoes, had been erected, and everything wore the
appearance of mirth and gladnew The village bells
rang forth their merry peals, and Short's brass hand
contributed in no small degree towards the pleasures
of the day.

WEYMOUTH.

THE Tomtit —We understand that an arrange.
went has bees come to between the owners of the
Tomes and the partite who brought her into port,
without going into court. The owners have agreed
to give £1,560 to the proprietors of the two
steamers and the Portland pilot for their services,
which sum the latter have agreed to accept. It is
said that there is now a dispute between the parties
claiming the compensation, as to how the money
shall be divided.

Tat PAVIYENTIL—We are glad to find that the
pavements throughout the town are being put in
repair, es for a long time put they have been truly
rimiest. The new pavement now being laid
down in the Terrors is as excellent a pesos of work-
manship as could possibly be performed. As soon as
the corporation funds will admit, we should be glad
to see similar pavements laid down in some of the
te bee principal parts of the town.

WEYMOUTH.

New TRIAPRRANCE HALL—The room recently
taken by the Temperance Society, situated in Park.
street, WAS opened on Wednesday evening last by
a social tea•meeting. It was tastefully decorated
with flags and banners bearing various temperance
mottoes. About 100 sat down to the social repast,
and after the tables were cleared a public meeting
was held, presided over by R. 1.. Eliot, Esq.
Apologies were sent by the Rev. T. Greaves, the
Rev. R. J. Lyon, Mr. J. J. Goode, and Mr. T.
Anderson announcing their inability to attend. The
meeting was addressed by the chairman, the Rev.
J. T. Pattenden, the Rev. C. Bridgeman, Mr. J.
Melksham, Mr. J. H. Cottrell, and the Rev. J.
Chene, on the benefits of temperance. It was said
that England now numbers not less than 4,000
temperance societies and 3,000,000 of teetotallers,
half of which were, perhaps, under 15 yearsofage.
Salaried agents were employed to the amount of
£12,000 a year, and there were three weekly news-
papers, six monthly perriodicals and two quarterly
reviews devoted to the advocacy of the cause. The
proceedings were of the most harmonious character.
Boar Cxua.---A meeting of the members of the
Weymouth Boat Club was held at the Townhall on
Fiiday evening last. Mr. Isaac presided, and there
was • tolerable attendance of parties interested in
aquatic sports. The financial statement of the past
year was not presented, as the alai:flints had not
been made up, but it is understood that the expen-
diture slightly exceeded the receipts. Some new
members were added to the club, and it was
announced that several gentlemen of the town who
had hitherto not contributed would in future do so.
It is intended to build two new skiffs for the members'
use, and also a wager boat to enable the members to
take part in any contest that may come off in the
various ports in the channel, provided the funds will
allow of such a course. On the whole the future
of the Weymouth Boat club is most promising.
INDIAN RELIEF FUND.—On Sunday last three
sermons were preached at St. Mary's Church in
behalf of the fund for the relief of our famine stricken
fellow creatures in India. That in the morning was
preached by the Rev. Talbot Greaves, rector, when
the collection amounted to £33; in the afternoon by
the Rev. J. R. Lyon, when £4 7s. 100. was col-
lected, and in the evening by the Rev. T. Greaves,
when £l3 I6s. Sid. was collected, the !proceeds of
the day towards this benevolent object being
£5l 4a. Sd.

STZAN SHIPBUILDING IN THE NORTH.—Mesars. J.
Reid •nd Co., of Port Olugow, have just completed a
.Wani train, on Bourne's patent, intended for the natl.
gatiun of the Ganges. The train. which has been built
for the Oriental Inland Steam Navigation Company,
onsists of a steamer and five barges, and is 930(t. in
length over all, 30ft. beam, and 81t. depth of ludd. The
steamer is fitted with engines mule by Fawcett, of
Liverpool, and having surface condensers, superheating
apparatus, Ac. The engines are on the double cylinder
principle, high and low pressure, sud the boiler. are
eip..bla of working up to a pressure of 100113. on the
square inch. The machinery is 400 hone-power pond-
nal, but can work to upwards of 1,000 horse. At
the how of the steamer is an apperstus for maw:Burring
or steering the train, and each barge I.as a helm, but it
is little used, not being generally required. The huge.
are attached to each other by hinge-joints, which enable
the train to turn easily into curves in following the
windings of • river. The train, which is built of
iron and very light, will be able to carry 3.000 tons of
cargo or 2,000 isoldiers with their arms. At the trial

It appears that the bombardment on the 11th
and 12th was of extreme violence. The explosion of
the powder magazines had rendered the rifled cannon
useless; but the fortress still replied with the other
guns. The Neapolitan artillerymen displayed the
greatest bravery; twice they silenced the guns of
the Battens des CapuciniL
On the 13th, although negotiations had been par-
tially opened, the bomtardmeut continued with the
same violence ; two batteries of the fortress were
demolished, and then the capitulation was signed.
It was the fortress that fired the last cannaashot.
It appears that from the demand to surrender to the

On the 14th the Sardinian troops occupied one-

The King pared the Neapolitan troops in review,.
who wept as they presented arms to him. An
immense crowd was assembled, and the population
shed tears. The King was very pale from emotion.
Royal honours were paid to Francis 11. as be

MANCHUTIM, Feb. I2.—Cotton Goods.—We have
again had a ery gloomy market, with falling prices.
In cloths the amount of bushiest, has been very small.
The sales that have been made are repotted at • redne.
lion of lid. to 3d. pee piece in India shirting', and at •
proportionate decline on lighter fabrics for India.
Tlmre is a telegram from Calcutta to the 18th of
January, bringing more unfavourable accounts from
that market and from China. In printers and long.
cloths we have heard of awns fair sales in one or two
quarters, at • reduction sorrespo•ding with that in
India shirting*, but in the general market them goods
are reported a. quiet and very much neglected.
Some fair sales are reported in domestic. for the home
tiatle, at steady prices. In yarns the general report Is
, one of inactivity, but there ars exceptional am' of
agents who say they have made some fair sales both of
mule and water-twist at a reduction of id. per lb.

DORCHESTER FAIR.

This fair, although called • cattle mart, is little
more than • "mop" or place of hire for labourers.
This being so, we will, for the information of our
numerous distant readers, just give a little sketch of
this disgraceful mode of obtaining labourers.
A short time before the 14th of February the
tirmers in this locality are accosted with the never.
varie4 ex pres.‘i•ma fool) the labourers, of '• I be gains
ti fair. car. to better inFrelf." The farmers my—
very well, and foolishly go to fair also to get others
in the place of those about to leave. The upshot of
this is ; its the tint place, the entire work of the
farm is in confusion on the 14th, and in many
instances this state of things will continue for some
days afterwards; in the second place, the labourer
loses considerably by getting into bad company,
encouraging a feeling .4. discontent ; and, 'non stand.
log in the mud, perhaps many house, he must take
refreshment, and then is pretty sure to go home
intoxicated. . . .

In the third place the sequel will be the real state
of those " mops"; the fernier being a loser on the
whole will, or rather must, charge this loss to the
labour account, and therefore must reduce his pay•
inents for work done, in order to make up for the
loss of time and other expenses occasioned by these
mops. Thus we come to the conclusion that "mops"
are detrimental to the farmer, the labourer, and all
connected with agriculture, mot therefore equally
detrimental to all classes of society ; for the end of
all this is, that it must be charged on, on the article
produced, and every person who puts food in his
mouth—(and where is the one who does not ?)--inust
help tii pay for the extravagances indulged in, in it.
production.
We, as the only independent journalists in the
county,feel it our duty to point out these failings on the
part of our friends, the agriculturista ; and hope
that they will soon give up the practise of coming to
Dorchester on the 14th of February to seek for
labourers ; and then the end of these "mops" will
soon be seen, for it is entirely the fault of the far.
mere, as a body, that this disgraceful proceeding
annually fakes place, and really, for aught we know,
increases in extent the streets of our town being
literally crowded with farm labourers, their wives
awl families. So much for "mops."
There were the usual number of cows and calves :
but we fancy in rather worse condition than usual,
and the very high prices asked prevented their being
all sold. Barreners were in great request, and
where there was anything in the shape of meat about
them, they were really very dear.
A large number of horses—good, had, and indiffer-

the ground that it was inexpedient to take a sum of

This market, held on Tuesday, was numerously

SUPPER TO THZ RAILWAY ST•7I AT Nonen-
rola. —On Wednesday evening last a substantial
supper and general treat to the employes on the
South-Western line, at the Wareham station, WY
given at the Railway Hotel. Upwards of twenty
were present, 'along whom we noticed Mr. Rutter,
the station master, Mr. Martin, the local inspector
of the line, &c. ; also several visitors, among them
Mr. Spilmaii, Mr. Groves and others. The supper
was well prepared by Mr. and Mrs. Ash, and give
general satisfaction. We believe the treat was
given principally by Mr. Penton and Mr. Ash, in
appreciation of the regularity and proper conduct of
all engaged.
THE WHICE Or THI HARDY. —An investigation
took place in our Townball, before 0. W. Ferrer,
Esq., the Rev. N. Bond, and Captain Harris, R.N.,
assessor to the Board of Trade, for the purpose of
enquiring into the loss of the Hardy, of Glasgow,
which hail lately been wrecked on the ledges near
Freshwater, Encombe. A number of witnesses,
including the captain and the greater part of the
crew of the unfortunate ship, underwent • searching
examination, and it appeared to the Court that the
captain did not cause the deep sea lead to be used as
he ought to have done, and they were therefore
under the neeesvity of supending his certificate, and
leaving the matter in the baud' of the Board of
Trade.
