CATTLE.

BRISTOL, TIIURSDAY.—A moderate supply of
beef, and trade was more active than last week, at
firm rates. Best samples sold freely at from Bos to
846, and middling Forts at from pas to 75s per cwt.
We had a rather full supply of sheep, which met with
a fair sale at late rates, best wethers changing hands
at g(1, and heavy ewes &I per lb. There was a good
supply I lamb, which sold exceedingly well, at from
toil to iid per lb. We had a large supply of store
sheep from Ireland, and they met with a steady sale,
at fully late rates. The Irish consignments of store
cattle from Ireland numbered about 1,000, and they
met with a free inquiry, at late prices. Milch cows
were rather shorter, and trade not quite so good. We
had only SOO pigs on offer. Bacon fetched Its gd,
and porkers from its gd to 125 per score.
METROPOLITAN, TIIUkSDAY. —The number of
beasts is about the same as last Thursday, but the
demand has considerably increased, and pnces on the
average are higher, with a quick sale. The supply of
sheep is not quite so large, and the demand exceeds
it ; prices are very high—in a few instances our top
quotation has been exceeded. Lambs and calves are
selling briskly, but there is not much alteration in
price. There are 45 English and so foreign milch
cows on offer; trade is not brisk, but late prices are
well maintained. Our foreign supply consists of sto
beasts, 6,0ci0 sheep, and sso calves.

DO!tCHESTER AIIIUSENIF.NT 401:1ETY

We feel sure that the inlalotants of Dorchester
generally will hail the formation sf this society with
pleasure. It has long been complained that there is no
continuity in the supply of recreation for the townsfolk,
and no guarantee for the quality id the entertainment
which is offered 7 and the Dorchester Amusement
Saciety has been established to meet both needs. It is
intended ti provide by cooperation with Opera com-
panies, Concert parties, Readers, We. of established
reputation, a series of entertaimuents throughout the
year, and the members will have the pneilege of
taking tickets for all or any of them at a re-
duced price. The fee of membership is only half-
ascrown • year, a merely nominal sum the great
objects being to bring all classes together and ti relieve
the town from the reproach of being the dulled in
Christendom. The meiety was originated by Mr. Robin-
son, if the Music Saloon, • onalaill, who has special oppurs
tunities of knowing and securing suitable entertainers'
and Mr. Alfrel Atkins has undertaken the duties of
hon. secretary. The project has leen very favourably
received; the worshipful the Mayor (Mr. Fs Burnett) was
one of the earliest members, and it is confidently holed
that the society will be generally supported by the inhabi-
tants. It will be seen loy advertisement that the first
entertainment uttered is a series of opera recitals by Mr.
Henry Haigk's English opera c puny, who are on a pros
vincial tour, awl are spoken of very highly. They will
' perform, not only I spas, that are established favourites,
but La Fille du Madam d new. which was produced very
many consecutive nights in Loudon, and other novelties.

OKB.PIE A BBAS.

In the course of the put week the Rev. O. Whitehead,
who has had charge of this parish since the death of the
late vicar, closed his ministrations and removed to South.
sea. On Whit-Sunday Holy Communion was celebrated,
when a large number of communicants partook thereof.
Mr. Whitehead preached from, what he called, "one of
the comfortable words of our glorious Communion service -
—" If any 1111111 sin we have an advocite with the Father,
Jesus Christ the righteous, Isc." In the afternoon a
special service for children woo held, when the church
was well tilled with the children, their parents, and
friends. Mr. Wnitehead used the Ante-Communion
service, and preached a suitable sermon from the parable
of the wise and foolish virgins. Special hymns were
printed for the ocembut, which were sweetly and heartily
sung by the children and others present, without any
organ accompaniment, Mr. Whitehead leading. This
service caused quite a stir in the parish, as the children,
with their teach= and other', walked in procession to
the church singing as a procendonal one of the hymns
called "Happy Hanle above," and otter leaving church, by
way of what some would call "recessionals," some of the
other hymns. The day was beauticully fine and bright,
and added joyousness to the scene. In the evening the
church was thronged in every part as it was knovrn to be
Mr. Whitehead's last service in the place. Many of his
former flock from Spiting came scrum the hills to hear
the parting words of one they love. The text wan the
last verse in the Bible, "The grace of our Imrol Jesus
Christ be with you all, Amen." Mr. Whitehead preached
with his usual self-puesession till he came to say "Fare-
well," a word, he sea which was not to be found in
heaven's vocabulary. Parting of loving heart* was among
those things which we are told would not be in heaven;
and said,
tt Parting to dtwth, we well conuare,
But oh! to those who love sincere
How dreadful is the pain."
After an earnest exhortation to his heaters to live for
heaven, to live in peace and unity among themselves, lie
wished them all the blessing comprehended in the text.
At the conclusion of the sermon the hymn
We've so abiding city here"
was sung, and the service clued in the usual way.

BRITISH CORN TRADE.
The grain trade has remained extremely quiet.
The refreshing rains which have fallen in all parts
have greatly stimulated the growth of the growing
crops, and have at the Signe time been of incalculable
benefit to the pastures, which previously were suffer-
ing rather severely from the long-continued absence
of moisture; altogether the position of affairs during
the past day or two has materially improved, and
prospects before brilliant have become still more
satisfactory. Under the circumstances, therefore, it
is not to be wondered at that intending purchasers of
wheat have delayed their operations in the hope of
obtaining more favourable terms. At Mark-lane, on
Friday, notwithstanding that the supply offering has
been somewhat reduced, wheat has been difficult to
move, and had sales been forced there would have
been no option but to accept less money. More
liberal receipts from abroad may now be looked for,
as produce at the ports of shipment is accumulating.
The quantity of British wheat disposed of at Mark.
lane during the week ending May 18 was 2,241 qrs.
and the average price 44s 6d. Spring corn dull and

Battalion Quarter.Mn.ter-Sergeant Newman, the whole °. the competitions will be comfortably got through in two
days, if the weather be at all favourable, and, so far as
the rifle competitions are concenied, they will be com-
pleted the first day. This 61 a great point gained- With
this object competitors for the challenge cup will have
their scone in competition 13 reckoned, viz, seven rounds

named before beginning B: so doing, will save time, and

Under such conditions we do not anticipate very many

FRIENDLY SOC I ETY. —The anniversary of this society was
celebrated as usual on Whit-Tuesday. At eleven o'clock,
the members, to the number of about 10, attended Divine
service at the church, and afterwards a public dinner was
provided in a spacious marquee, lent by Mr. Trump, of
the Cross Keys Inn. Bridport. Subwmuentlr, a procession
was formed, which, headed by Yr. I'ester s brass band
from Bridport, paraded the village, halting at various
places on the route, to partake of Um hospitality of the
residents. The party afterwards returned to the field in
which the dinner took place, and here kiss-in-the-ring,
dancing, and other amusements were engaged in till nine
o'clock, when the band played the National Anthem, and
the company dispersed. The playing of Mr. Fosteex baud
gave every satisfaction, and we must congratulate him on
the state of efficiency to which he has brought it.

demand
for clover seeds is, at an end ; and, in the absence of
any speculation, transactions are exceedingly limited
both in number and extent. There is some inquiry
both for agricultural mustard and rape seed, and
values of both descriptions keep very steady ; fine
samples of either kind do not offer freely. Canary
seed, in consequence of its present unparalleled price,
moves off very slowly ; the extravagant rates demanded
for it now materially diminish its consumption ; and
millet, hemp, and rape seed, as substitutes, are in
increased demand. Linseed shows no change.—

THE HYMN "JUST AS I AM."
rt. Me Editor.
. .

r
May I trouble you with a word or tin, in correction
of an inaccur bey in Dr. Punslion's very able and eloquent
discourse in !Null:tester last Monday 7 He referred to the
well-known hymn 'Just as I am," and spoke of the
authoress, Miss Charlotte Elliott, as one who is" said to
have been a Soeinian.- This is certainly • mistaken
rumour. Miss Elliott's Memoir. Letters, and Poems.
(published by the Religious Tract ?loi-ietyL fully show that
she was throughtout her long life a devout and simple
believer in the truths held by evangelical (liristians.
Those truths were iodeed her life of life. Miss Adana%
the authoress of " Nearer my I el to Thee," was a &pendant
and in her hymn, it will be olmerved. them is no allusion
either to the Deity of the lswd Jesuit Christ, or to the
propitiation"( Ills loath—the. two articles unhal may absent
from the Soeinimi creed.
