SCHOOL TkElt.—Ou Tuesday, the 7th inst., the children
of the Keynatoue day school, numbering 42, and those of
Rawaton and Preston, numbering about ?A assembled on
Colonel Todd's lawn to partake of a tea kindly provided
for them by Sir William and Lady Marriott, of the Down
Rouse. The weather woo moat propitious. The children
assembled about three o'clock, and as soon as tea was
over adjourned to an adjoining field where numerous
games were played, and teachers and scholar+ thoroughly
enjoyed themselves. Songs were sung, and pieces of
poetry recited on the lawn by two of the children. the
singing was remarkably good, and the recitation of the
somewhat lengthened pieces of poetry quite perfect and
given with ranch self-possession, reflecting groat credit on
the care and attention bestowed on the children by the
schoolmistress, Niles Tite. Before the children were dis-
missed to their homes each child wee regaled with tea and
a bun, and a small suns of money given to them. At the
conclusion throe hearty cheers were given by the children
for their kind entertainer, Lady Marriottt. We notices!
amongst those present Sir William Marriott and children,
Rev. Alfred and kfrs. Smith. Colonel and Mos. Todd, Rev.
W. and Mrs. Meares, Mr. Guy, Mr. Roos, dc.

ENGLISH WOOL.

—..----
The market shows • somewhat better tone, but
business is sadly hampered by the curtailment of
credit, both by local banks and London discount
houses, by which the buyers' powers, both of mer-
chants, dealers, and spinners, are much restricted. A
restoration of the usual credit fuilities would, inde-
pendently of anything else, give a decided impetus to
business.

CATTLE.

BRISTOL, TfirRSDAV.—On the whole a rather j
thin market. There was a pretty good supply of
beef, and a very fair trade WU done, at easier prices
than have lately prevailed. Best descriptions were
sold for 75s per cwt, and secondary sorts realised 7os.
A fair supply of sheep, and a slow trade, at g}id per
lb for best wethers, and 8d to 85irl for ewes. There
were not many lambs on offer and very few were
wanted; some choice animals so'ld at rod per lb. The
prevalence of the foot-and-mouth disease has had a
depressing effect upon the importation of store stock,
and in the market to-day there was a limited supply,
but trade VMS slightly better, though there was no
advance on late rates, and all on offer were cleared off.
The number of milch cows sent in was small, the
foot-and-mouth disease deterring holders from bring.
rug forward their stock. Between 600 and 700 pigs
were penned, and a good business was done, at 1254 d
per score for bacon pigs, and 125 6d to us gd for
porkers.
METROPOLITAN, THUKSDAY.—The number of
beasts is still considerable, although not quite so large
as last Thursday. Trade is dull at Monday's quota- I
tions, There arc not quite so many sheep, but enough
for the demand, which is very limited. Prices on the
average are scarcely as pod as on Monday. Choice
calves are scarce, and are sold dear. There are 39
English and 25 foreign mild' cows 011 o& r; trade is
acuve, at aa advance of from am to 3ca per head.

Mr. R. Hann was the first to sing; and he gave the
"Jolly Miller" in good style, the thorn, being taken up
lustily by the company. Mr. G. Thorne was received with
the utmost enthusiasm, and he sang four sone, convulsing
his listeners in "The Man of Many Nainr, and being
encored, substituting "The Happy Family. "The Sham-
rock of Ireland" wee capitally sung by him, as was also
the pleasing and ever-welcome " Rock me to sleep,
mother." Mr. C. Powell gave " Bibboty Bob" in good
style, and brought to our minds pleasant reminiscences of
the camp &es at the recent camp at Burton Bradatock.
Mr. A. Hann sang "Rule Britannia " very spiritedly and
with musical taste. The two negro songs of Mr. Wood-
ward were the occasion of much fun; he MY attired in his
characteristic dress, which all the volunteers who were at
camp must well remember. Mr. 'l'. Male caused roars of

a very long period been connected with the Institute, and
at all times taken the greatest interest in all that concerns
its welfare was greeted with much cheering as he stepped
on to the platform • he read the following lines composed
by him whilst he had been in the room:—

Mee shall abound, and friendship reign supreme ;

Nor let excess be mingled with your play •
Thus may you prove what some have felled to find,
How mirth and knowledge may be well combined.
At its conclusion, on the proposition of Mr. C. Powitt,
hearty cheers were given for Mr. Edmunds. But the most

SEEDS.

Our seed trade for the time of year exhibits a fair
amount of activity. For trifolium incarnatum the
demand continues good ; and as stocks are now reduced
to quite narrow limits, the late advance is well main-
tained. There is some small inquiry for clover seeds
for export purposes. New French sanfoin is now
offering; but at the rates demanded very few buyers
are found. Wc have more inquiry for French Italian.
In winter tares a good business his been doing as the
supply continues small. Last week's prices, high as
they were, are fully supported. With regard to canary
seed, an advance must be noted on the last few days
of from ios to 305 per qr. English samples now come
forward very sparingly: and the foreign markets are
still too high to admit of any considerable importation
into this country. French buckwheat and new haricot
beans are in fair request. For sowing rye we have a
free sale. A good quantity of white mustard seed
has now been placed at from 13s to 145 per bushel.—

THE WHITECHAPEL MURDER.

. _ . .

In the event of a question of identity being f roisily
raised for the defence of Wainwright, it is undersbsd that
the legal gentleman who have the conduct of the prosece.
Mon will take steps, under the highest advice, to meet it
by drawing up another count in the indictment.
Wainwright is no longer able to sustain the aspect of
indifference at first assumed by him. lie has been kept
thoroughly well informed of the progrese of his case, of
the day by day discoveries made by the police, and other
inquiries into the facts alleged against bun; and, guilty
or innocent, the ten ible gravity of his position is no longer
disregarded by him. Eie legal advisers are working ener-
getically in his behalf, great stress being naturally Lit
upon the doubts missal as to the possibility of the per.oe
whose body has been iliacovered ever having hien • nedlier.
The evidence given by Mr. lint isdore the coroner on
this point was far from decisive; amounting only to the
expression of a very strong opinion. His words wire " I
have • very strong opinion as to her having had is chill;
but m from the
decomposed state of the uterus, it is imp,.
sible for any possible opinion to le given." the
benefit of the accused Dr. Aubin will continue his ("3111',
nation of the body with the uttileA care and patience,
aad it is just possible that his labours will be extended up
to the last moment before the next hearing of the mit
before Mr. Menem, the Treasury offering every facil:ty to

FUGITIVE tsLAVE.S7
Commenting on the circular lately addressed by thu
Admiralty to the commanders of Iler Majesty's shii a
respecting tho treatment of fugitive slaty', the Del y
Neuss considers it impossible that instructions such as
those contained in this Admiralty circular can stand. If
they became permanent they will make it the duty of
British officers to restore to slavery writhed turn who
had escaped from that Mimi at the risk of their
lives. They would do more than this: they would
compel our tinkers to reduce again to slavery those
WIIOIII British law declares free, and such an obligttion
is intolerable. Their promulgation is evidently a
blunder, for it does not lie with the heads of any
administrative department of the public service to annul
British law, or give away the international right of their
country.

MR. BAXTER
.ON REFORM.

—.—.....—.. „..—.
Mr. W. E. Baxter, M.P., addressed those present at the
liarve-t lime of the tenants on his estate of Kincaldrum
on tieturday. Referring to the lend question he urged
the ab..lition of the laws of entail and primogeniture, and
of every statute which had the tendency of preventing
hind being circulated as freely and being bought and sold
no ellesply as any other commodity in the market. To
bring about these and other important changes of a bene-
ficial nature, in his opinion not only the county authorities
but the Imperial Parliament ought to be brought more
directly under the influence of the ratepayer. He wanted
In gee the establishment in every shire of financial beards,
elected, not
pliy landowners grid farmers, but all the
rteit:hwon. He advocated Writs ex had tontsiho7Zhge counties
also, and ob-erred it must be accompanied by • redistri-
bution of seats. The Inglish boroughs of Dorchester,
Harwich. Kneresborough, Lymingtou, Marlborough. Rich-
mond, Value, Tiverton, Weymouth, Truro, and Salisbury
returned sixteen members of Parliament, although their
aggregate constituents amounted to only 11,080, whereas
If there were an equal distribution they would rettam only
one member, or, to put It in another way, while these
little towns, with 11,160 electors, returned sixteen mem-
bers, eighteen divisions of greatcounties, Lancaster, York,
Surrey, and Kent, having even under the present
restricted suffrage, 217,012 electors, return only the same
number. This was an anomaly which must be remedied
souse time. He went in for remedying it now, He
became every day more and more convinced that the wise
policy in • time of peace and quietness like this was to
extend that series of grand popular reforms which had
done so much to render BritaW the greatest country the
world hail ever seen.

CATTLE.

BRISTOL TBlTRSDAY.—Notwlthstanding the
heavy rain, which made business disagreeable, we had '
a fair attendance in the market, and a good deal of
trade was done. There was a short supply of beef,
but the trade was better. Prices ranged from Sos to
825 best qualities, and 705 to 75s per cwt. for second
sorts. The sheep and lambs were in average supply ;
the trade was firm, and meat went 955 d. per lb. for
qualities of each description, while inferior beasts
were disposed of at Sd to 835 d. per lb. The supply of
pigs was large, and a steady trade was done at slightly
reduced prices. Porkers changed hands at from us
6d to 125 9d per score, and bacon pigs at izs ad to
I2S sa. There was a reduced number of store cattle
on offer, and the trade being good, all were sold.
METROPOLITAN, Ti(unst)Av.—We have not
quite so many beasts as on last Thursday; there is a
fair demand for them, and prices remain unaltered.

perish church on Wednesday evening. There was full
evening prayer, read by .the Rev. J. Marsh, vicar, and
a sermon preached by the Rev. T. Edwards.
A very few Ilaya, hardly a week, short of • year have
passed, since we had to record that the funeral of the late
vicar of Hilton, the Rev. Henry St. Andrew St. John, had
been celebrated at that place. We have now to announce
that on Friday last, the 3rd current, the mortal remains
of his beloved widow, Emily Mierrdy St. John, were also
there committed to the tomb. She died on the previous
Saturday, after a long period of invalidism and suffering,
at Redhill, in Surrey, at the age of tr years. Though cir-
cumstances had occasioned her absence from Hilton for
some considerable period, yet her memory is still cherished,
and will long be cherished there as of • most worthy
help-meet of a moat worthy pastor, who constantly and
affectionately devoted herself alike to the temporal and
spiritual welfare of his people. She was the sister of the
eminent arctic voyager Ati iul ral Skill ward Botcher, K.C.8.,
and the funeral ceremony, which was performed by the
Rev. C. W. Bingham, RD., was attended by the Rev.

SODDEN DEATH 0; 7; 7017.:-60 Sunday morning
When the convict' at the eitablisliment were on parade,
about nine o'clock, a prisoner named T. Turner suddenly
dropped down. He was promptly attended by Dr
Askham, whose measures of relief seemed to enable the
pour man to breathe a few times; he did not, however.
rally, but died shortly after. Some attribute the collapse
to the intense cold prevailing at the time over that elevated
spot where the prison and its grounds are situate.

XILTON ABBAS.
Ti anniversary meeting of the Wesleyan Missionary
Society was held on Friday evening in the chapel in this ,
village. After singing and prayer, the Chairman, Mr.
Levi Riggs, called upon the Rev. J. Bishop to read the
report, which was followed by speeches by the Rev. J. ,
Bishop, who gave an interivting account of missionarY
work in the Weal, Indies, where he had worked for some
five years, and Messrs. Barnett, Slater, and other.. The
collection at the close of the meeting realised considerably
more than that of last year.
KAMP, to who.o the Baron Hatobro entrusted £5O
for distribution among the poor of the pariah, has pro-
secuted her work so energetically that she has now all but
completed the task, which we are sure has been to her a
labour of love. She set herself and Mn. Moore, the Bible
woman, to work to ascertain the wants of the families
residing in the villages of Delcombe, liuish. part of
Whitechurch, and the lone far:us, then apportioned her
gifts- The recipients are truly grateful to the Baron and
Baroness liambro for their charity, and also to Mrs.
Kemp for the great amount of labour which she has
bestowed in this instance, and, indeed, is constantly
bestowing upon them in order to promote their temporal
and especially their spiritual welt are.
