CORN MARILZT. Saturday.--The supply of wheat
at this day's market, was larger than of late, but
most of it was in rather soft condition; priose o
all bast parcels were fully supported. Malting
barley was spin in good supply • dna quality made

and we trust it may continue throughout the semon,

afforded to the assistants will be spent by them is
a rational and profitable manner.

Tire Finn oY NOVAUBSIL —Tim anniversary ol tho
Guy Fawkes' Conspiracy was marked by • bonfire and a
display of fireworks, provided by subscription, on
Poundbury. Shortly before eight °clock last evening a
party of about 30 Guys" and the band tinder Mr.
H. Wellipring sermembl el en Carnhill, and a large
number of people quickly congregated. After the band
had played 'God save the Queen," • procession was
formed and they marched to Poundbury, the band
playing a lively air, and • crowd accompanied them to
the scene of operations. There seems to be every pro-
bability that this commemorative display will pass off
peacefully and pleasantly.

—Representatives, of the Doted county Mtwara, the
Work ng Men's Institute, and tlis embryo School of
Art, have during the past week met together to con-
sider the scheme proposed for erecting a building os
the site of the present county museum, which shall
afford good amemodstion for each of the institutions
, named, and also for &Public Library; but we understand
1 that nothing definite was arrived at, and an adjourned
meeting is to be held nett Thursday for further con-
ference on the subject A grand scheme of the sort
contemplated would doubtless be • great public benefit,
but it it worth while lceing the advantage which would
certainly accrue from • School of Art be it established at
once though never BO humbly, for the plsesure of dream-
ing about • more imposing project which is at present
very far from probability of realeationt We think not.

Tile MUNICIPAL gLicrion.—The contest for
municipal honours last Thursday excited but little
interest among the burgesses. The Mayor (Dr.
Aldridge) and the Assessors (Megan F. Mills and J.
Look) opened tbe poll at nine o'clock, and remained
at their post till four, shortly after which time it
it was aonounoed that Mecum T. Bennett, H. Lock,
and J. Bishop, were re-elected, and Mr. J. Davis
was chosen to 611 the vacancy created by the dis-
qualification of Mr. Frond. The following is the
voting :—Mr. T. Bennett, 138; Mr. H. Lock, 196;
Mr. J. Bishop, 115; Mr. J. I)avia.lo2 ; Mr. W. P.
Cockerani, 56; Mr. F. Lock, 28; Mr. J. Highs, 10
Mr. B. Groves, 8 ; Mr. J. Wellspring, 6. This
moult we think would have been very different but
for an erroneous public statement made by the Tows
Clerk, that Mr. W. P. Cookerain's name was not on
the burgess list. We are &Manus that a statement
of this -kind made by an official and in public very
soon gains hold enough on the burgesses to deter
them from voting for a gentleman under such air-
cumstancm, and, considering that the burgess list
wee so lately revised by the Mittor assisted by the
Town Clerk, we think so erroneous a statement
ought not to have been made.

Arrirtviaasnx SiotMcm,—The anniversary of the
Baptist mum liono.rnthsetar was ealebrated ort T
thhurs-
day &harpoon a social tea meeting, held in e
British School , kindly lent for the occasion,
at which 100 sat down. A public meeting which
was wall attended was subsequently held in U.
chapel under the preeidewey of the Bev. X. Merriman,

addresses were delivered by the Revs. Jones and
Symonds, Wesleyan ministers. the Rev. G. B. wag,
of Maiden Newton, acd&tke Rev. J. Fox, (Indepes-
dent). The profits of the tea and donations given
at the class of the meting ware damned to the Nadi
of the Western Baptilit Eringhlitation Society, by
which mewl two evangelists are supported in the
rural districts of Dorchester and Creurkerne. The
prospects attending the efforts of the evangelist
stationed in the Dorchester district (Mr. Davis) were
said to be of a very encouraging nature, great good
having been already effected in the surrounding
hamlets and villages, two small chapel. opmed, and
Iwo preaching stations maintained, in all of which
good 000grreatlosia bad been wowed senoagat tbs elan
of persons who previously lied not been moustomed
to attend any other *ea of worship. Daring ths
intervals beewesn the apseebas several sensed pions
were very creditably rendered by the oboir,—Miee
