Tee DORSET Mitrro--This regiment left Dorchester
tor Aldershot, on Friday morning, where they will remain
&mouth, and take part in the series of divisional drills
now in progress at that great military encampins-i• . It
Is the first time—of late years, at any rate—that the
Dorset regiment has gone away from the county town for
the annual training, yet it seems an especially fitting
thing for the first army reserve to do now that it is seen
fit by our inilitary authorities to assemble yearly a
miniature army for mimic warfare. The training of the
recruits was maccesafullr carried on, and the young
labourers of the county beauee smart and soldier.like.
When the old hands Mined them the eleiumits were on.
,propitous they got more than damp inside and out, and
seemed to have an extra civilian fling before settling
down to military order. But on the second day they
quieted down, and their three days drill was about
as sharp as it could be made, so that almost their whole
time was filled up by it. During their brief respites the
recreation room at the old Corn Exchange was fairly at-
tended, but there was not the old enthusiasm that
marked the proceedings evening after evening
whom Mrs. Colonel Bingham devoted herself to its Juan-
agement. On Friday morning the regiment paraded in
full marching order at 41 o'clock, and drilled till about 11,
when they were marched off to the South-Western rail-
way station ea routs for the camp. There is general dis-
appointment that the regiment did not proceed to the
stati9a by way of iligh.west and South-street, for many
anticipated the pleasure of a glimpse of the regiment on
the epochs' occasion, and desired by such a demonstration
to indicate their interest and pride in the regiment. But
it was not to be—they went the sbOrtetit way, and there
were none to wish them a happy tithe, a tLcy Asircl.l
along. The hand, however, played cheerily. With the
traditionary fable that everybody who wears a red coat is a
very Lovelace, the musicians glayed the raphsodical love
song, "Good bye, sweetheart; then changed to the more
sprightly measure—" The Girl I left behind me ;" and
llipshed with what perhaps is more than all in acconlance
with .the feelings of our Dorset boys wherever they are—
house, sweet home." At the station a large number of
I persons had collected to see then, oft, and thronged the
I platform imich more numerously than the officers liked,
but the people would not be kept out, and, indeed, there
seemed little necessity for it. There is no sentiment in
military rule, but the inhabitants have not been azcii.
joined to the town toting treated merely WI a parade
ground. For many years we have been closely associated
with the re:meat, and retain warm affection for the
Dorset boys who leave their quiet homes at the call of
patriotism. It is good for us to have our sympathies
drawn out to such a body of our county folks, and it is
well for them to kisoiv that we watch them with interest
and feel pride in anything they do that is creditable.
Clops upon titin entered he train, which was of course an

Tog isioti SOCIETY Or LOYDON.—A meeting 00
behalf of the Irish Society of London, for promoting the
Scriptural education of the Irish Roman Catholics by
means of their own language, scM held at the Town
on Monday evenlng.—The Rev. E. W, Petra ILA.,
presided, and with him on the platform was the Rev. H.
Rados- The Chairman briefly introduced the Rev. S.
B. Harris, the deputation, who stated that the society was
established in 18IM, when the Irish speaking population
were much more numerous than now. It was originated
by Irish churchmen, who desired to bring before the
people the Word of God. To do this work they employed
Roman Catholics, who were the only minions that made it
practicable. They commenced teaching the people to read
the Irish language they spoke, by gathering them together
at meal times, sifter their work, and over the turf fires.
Looking back over the history of the society it was thin
elementary work that had been most hlaige Several of
the Romanist teachers were converted, and many of the
people with thew. In the neighbourhoole of 'Kin:smart
wan this especially the case. The teachers periodically
collected their people together to pray and read the Bible,
and these meetings were some of the most interesting anal
Mewed. They cattle to them in spite of the priests', with
the certainty Vegetation and of being shunned by their
neighbours. •• society 21 churches for the
converts, and I WO of the 1 had'heen Wight tIQ read
In their schools. He spoke of the pride the Irish In the
scattered villages take in bolas able to sad, ithd told how
they gather their neighbours in the evening in their
cabins to display their ability. So the Word of 0.1 has
been spread. But wherever the pneats were active, they
were sure to oppose the work. to Ventry he wee told
that now the persecution there had almost ceased the
reading of the frith Bible was so general, but in the
beginning • man told him how he used to go and sit in a
hay -bige tt, reed hie Bible and be careful not to let the
Light be seen glineti,wrg through the thatch. A Warman
in that neighbourhood ec.nrely ruined an coneequeece
of his loyalty to the Bible. MOIL:I4h Mirth, ng

nised the value of the society as doing good work amongst
the mattered populations whom no parochial orgiuthanon
could ittecli. The Bishop of Cashel lately bore hearty
testimony to the valve and importance of the society. The
inshapeaking poptillition were very much scattered. Ile
went on to speak M the !simplicity of the 144 luiluage
and said that thin enabled the people to uuMiratand the
Bible most thoroughly. In illustration he said the Trish
Bible translation of "Au Moue lifted up the serpent'e de.,
was " Moses lifted up the Father of Poison, they hav-
ing no such word se serpent, and indeed no ouch reptiles,
the legend being that St. Patrick sent them all away.
Then in the parable of the Prodigal Son, the worth" He

parable of Dives and l,saanzssu the pumice " the rich MAU

described the interest the Irish take in the remits of the

Romanist told him of his conviction of the truth of
