To the Editor of the Dorset County &press and
Agricultural Gazette.

SIR,—In a recent issue of the Sherben ne Journal
a writer, assuming the dignified name of "Judea,"
volunteers his advice to the Town Council as to
which of that body should be elected to the OfrIGV of
Mayor for the next municipal year. It is a some-
what novel course far an individual burgess, whether
in the Council or out of it, or be he ever so good " a
judge," to assume to himself the functions of the
entire body, and thus by implication declare that
his individual judgment is superior to the "concen-
trated wisdom "of our representatives. But he
assures us that his zeal is kindled by a desire for
public good, granted ; but I assure him that his
suggestion is somewhat premature.
No doubt the visit of the Bath and West of
England Society to our town will and ought to oc-
cupy the time and attention of the Mayor during
the week of their visit, as well as make very con•
siderable demands on his exchequer, but what a
queer Council ours must be to comprize only one
man competent fur this.
. . _

" Jude's" eliminates the "law list," and, falling
back on the trading element, finds in the Council
only three tradesmen eligible for the office of Mayor.
Then two of the three are with the stroke of the
pen set aside, and thus the choice is narrowed to one
1114111—Mr. JOHN FRANCIS Houtirz. Truly, Sir,
this is an easy if not a novel way of gaining a point.
The "law list," however, is not exhausted. One of
that profession, an 41.19119 9d the oldest member
of the Council, has net yet tilled the civic War..
Then the number of tradesmen who have not en-
joyed that corded position is not three but seren.
Will "Jude:" tell us why four of the seven are to be
ignored? Two of the qualifications for next year's
Mayor are described by. " Judex," "the power of
speech, and a willingness to Lace the expense ; ' two
very useful, if not needful accomplishments, and very
fortunate is it for the town that we have one such
member to fall back upon. But is it the assumed
non-possession of these qualities that puts four mem-
bers out of court, or what is it? If the Council is
not obliged to follow the seniority of membership,
then they are at liberty to select either of their two
Junior brethren, both of whom arc qualified as the
protege of "Jude:" Independently of this, there
is the suburban residence, which likewise claims
some consideration. Will you, Mr. Editor, be good
enough to tell me if my limitation is not as reasona-
ble and sound as that of "Judea?"
I remain, Sir, yours obediently,
A SPECTATOR.

On Friday last the annual court lest for this
manor was held before Arthur Martin, Eeq., the
steward. After the business of the court was con-
cluded the members of the court at down to a capi-
tal dinner at the Ilchester Arms, the chair being
occupied by John Pope, Eaq. About 5 o'clock the
conviviality of the company was agreeably inter-
rupted by the martial strains of the band of the
Bridport Rifle Corps, which body, under the com-
mand of Captain Templer, (who had an hour or two
previously been presented with a sword at Brid-
port), had marched out to the village to pay a mark
of respect to the venerable rector, the Rev. Mr.
Raymond, a liberal supporter of the corps. Having
gone through the ordinary exercises on the lawn in
front of the rectory, they left the village to the tively
sounds of the drums and fifes. The mambas of
the court lest then returned to their quarters, where
a very pleanuit evening was most harmonionily
enjoyed by all present.

PRUSSIA.

-
A letter from Berlin of Use 27th says:—While the
Prince and Princess Frederick William were at Breslau
lately some serious disturbances took place. The city
was illuminated in honour of the Royal visitors, but
the statute of Blucher was by scene means omitted, and,
in order to repair this neglect, a number of workmen
and others assembled and went about collecting money
to purchase lights. This waa nut done without some
degree of tumult. On the following day the disturban-
ces mention nood, and became ho serious that it was
found requisite to call out the troops, who made use of
their &rine and wounded seieral persons. On the third
day there were again some assemblages, but order was
not disturbed. The Prince and Princess have left for
Baden, where the 48th anniversary of the birth of the
Princess of Prussia is Cu be celebrated on the 30th, and
thence their Royal Highness.* will proceed with the
Pnuee Regent to Cologne, for the inaguration of the

BAIII.-11riuest of .f 3,000 to Balls Ilogpi
At the usual monthly meeting of the Charity Trus-
tees on Tue.lay, Mr. Dowding made and intertating
and important statement to the board as to the cer-
tain information he had obtained respecting
sit un-
chunusl fund of sonic amount in the Court of Chan-
cery belonging to the Hospitals of Bath. From his
statement it appeared that about the year 1790 a
legacy of 1:510 was bequethed to the Bath Hospitals,
and that the affairs of the testator who had given the
legacy were administered under the direction of the
Court of Chancery. The money was set aside to
meet the legacy, but from some unexplained cause
no application had ever boeu made for it. During
the long period of nearly seventy years the legacy
had now accumulated to £3,450, which gUill was
divisible °gunny between Bellott's Hospital, the Bath
Mineral Water HospitaLund the Bath United Hospi-
tal, as those three institutions alone came within the
wording for the bequest, viz.—" To the different
Hospitals of Bath, to the relief of such objects as are
annually sent to them." Mr. Dowding entered into
further details as to the proper measures to be
adopted to obtain the money, and then read a cor-
respondence which had taken place on the subject.
A cordial vote of thanks was given him, and the
Mayor, the Chairman, and Mr. Dowding, were ap-
pointed a committee to confer with the Hospital
authorities with a view to carrying out an arrange-
ment for obtaining the money alluded to.

powerfully-oonstructed batteries both at the heads of
Port Philip and at the entrance to Hobsoun's Bay where
usually lies at anchor a fleet almost altogether British, of
some half a million of tonnage and many millions of

TURKEY AND THE EAST.

The conspirators at Constantinople are to be tried
within closed doors. They me mostly either priests or
soldiers, but few among them have attained to any noto-
riety heretofore. There can he no doubt that they all
belong to the Turkish party, which is hostile to the exe-
cution of the Imperial Latta affecting the political MUM-
cipatioo of the Christians.
Vbe opening of the flooupteehina at Belgrade was the
otession of a speech from Prince )(Beech, which does
not seem to have been entirely acceptable. The Prince
told the assembly that it ebonld attend entirely to
dementia affairs, and leave foreign questions to he dealt
with by Ithrolt. This was flat and candid. One of the
high priests rose and said this 'teem of authority should
not be payables& and the msesubly cheered the declare-
ties.

FRANCE.
PARIS, TharschlY•

The Cousifilutioviimi of this morning contains an
article signed by its dud editor, M. Grandguillot, sta-
ting that the preliminaries of the peace of ViHamm had
rescued Italy from every foreign intervention, no matter
under what name or from what quarter it might some.
France confined herself to giving the Italians proper
advice, which, if followed by them, would have imiured
the prosperity of Central Italy; but, baying in vain
offered advice, she cannot go so far as to dictate orders
to Italy."
The Emperor bee declined to be present I% the banquet
offered to him by the Commission of the Municipality of
Bordeaux • it is therefore supposed that His Majesty
will not Make the anticipated speech, but the Emperor
and Empress will be present at a grand ball to be vven
in their honour on the evening of the 11th, and will
arrive in Paris on the 12th inst. The Imperial Prince
will travel direct from Biarritz to Parill.

The Patric of this evening says :
A special corps d' annie of 15,000 men will soon be
formed to serve as WI expedition to China. This corps
is to be directed to Egypt, there to await our steamers
to convey it on to China.
The Imperial Court will quit Biarritz on the 10th inst.
and leave Bayonne for Bordeaux on the 11th. After •
sojourn of forty-eight hours in Bordeaux they will leave
for Paris, where they are expected to arrive on the lath
inst. Lord Cowley has been to Biarritz to see the Em-
peror, and it is asserted that the object of his vt had
reference to China.
The Patric believes itself correct in stating that the
Ilt.diterranean squadron had received orders to put to
sea immediately, but is unacquainted with the object and
duration of the expedition.

Paris from Belgium.

TURKEY.

The Grrwan Journal of Frankfort, without sating
its authority for so grave an allegation, declares that the
l'orte has obtained eOSSCIIIniOII of documents which
deeply compromise Prince Milosch. and prove that he,
Prince Colas. and Prince WMlo, have come to an un-
derstanding for the purpose of provoking a general
insurrection in the &lave provinces of Turkey, with
the view to joining part of them to Servia and the
Principalities, and the rest to Montenegro. A letter
f Constantinople of the 11th instant states that the
Montenegrins had made an incurs on the Turkish
territory, and hail been repulsed hy the Turkiali troops
at Zupsi with NORM losis. This took place at the moment
when the Mixed Commission appointed to fix the
boundaries of the Principality were on the sisit, and

An inquest was held on Tuesday last, before
Thomas Rawlins, FA' 9., at the New Inn, on the body
of Richard Eaton, a journeyman tailor, aged 24. It
appeared that deceased was present at the Three
Lions Inn in his usual health the previous evening,
about nine p.m., looking on at a game of bagatelle,
and was suddenly seised with vomiting of blood, kc.,
with excruciating pains in his head and back. His
friends suspected that he had taken some narcotic.
He lingered in great agony till two in the morning
when he died. Dr. Parkinson was examined and
gave it as his opinion that deceased had ruptured
a blood vend. The coroner ps2 it to the jury
whether any one of them would wish a pore neoriem
examination to take place, but all appeared satisfied
and returned a renhet of "Died by the Visitation

A Disiousr-Wr Porr."—A lad netted James Ben.
dell, living at Nlorcombe Lake, whilst proceeding
bottle from Jr. Bottoinley's school on Monday was
accosted by amen who having ascertained the young-
ster's school. produced pen, ink. and paper, and per-
suaded the laa to write—" Please sir let this gentle-
man have threepence and I will pay you to•caorrow.
Yours respectfully. James Rendell, May 23. Mr.
Bottouiley, Charniouth." Rendell was then allowed
to go on. and the "gentleman" made his way to Mr.
llottomley's shop, quietly took &seat therein, inquired
of Mrs. Bottomley if Rendell went to her husband's
school, bought a pennyworth of writing paper, and
produced the promissory note. Mrs. Bottomley at
once took the handed the fellow twopence in
whlition to the writing paper, and then having
modestly avowed himself" an humble poet," he pro-
ceeded to recite words containing about as alga
poetry as the "gentlennui'• had honesty, and be-
guiled both Mr. and Mrs. Bottomley into a belief in
bui respectability. The fellow at length departed.
Next Morning the" poet's" little trick was discovered.
Por those who may or may not wish to we a live
but "humble poet" we may mention that he is shah-
bay clad, and has one leg crooked.

'BROAD AND NARROW GUAM,- Last week a
pitched battle in the public street by three ladies de-
veloped one 44 "the evils of crinoline." The oppos-
ing powers consisted of a widow, her daughter, and
a married woman. The widow's daughter, it seems,
sports crinoline most bountifully, and is very vain
thereof; but the daughter f the married woman es-
chews the bulgy appendage altogether, and her con-
sequent "straightness" subjects her to the insulting
remarks of the widow's wile-spreading progeny.
Tim nuirried woman, annoyed a good deal at this
" swellish" grievance, determined to remonstrate
with the widow and her bouncing daughter. She,
however, no sooner opened negotiations than the
two fell upon and hcat her unmercifully, afterwards
fleeing to their home for safety. On her recovery.
the injured lady hastened to the widow's retreat,
kicked the front door in, and then took place a war
of woribi of the most energetic description, ending
in mutual threats to go before the Bench, to ace
whether crinoline or no crinoline might not be used
according to the wearer's option.

DIVORCE IN •tNADA.--The following is a copy of
the despatch addressed to the Governor. General by the
Imperial authoritiea, recommending the Canadian Go-
vernment to take action on the law of divorce : -" Dow-
ning Street, April 12. Sir, -In transmitting to you a
copy of the Act 'to amend the law relating to Divorce
and Matrimonial Causes in England,' I wish to call your
attention to the great importance of the subject. Her
Majesty's Government regarded this subject as within
the general class of internal affairs the duty and right of
regulating which belong to the Colonial Legislati rn
under free institutions. But they are at the some time
fully sensible cf the great importance of uniformity of
legislation on this bead, no far as it can be attained
without injury to these principles of colonial Govern-
ment, and the danger as well to politic morality as to
family interests which might arise from the law lif the
colonies on the subject of marriage and divorce differing
materially from thai of the another country, and of each
other. It is therefore the wish of Her Majesty's Govern
-
molt that you should consult your Council as to the
' expediency of at once introducing a measure which
shall incorporate, as nearly as the circumstance of the
colony will admit, the provisious of the Act recently
passed in England. Some of the minor provisions of the
Act may probably prove incompatible with the require-
ments, of the colony, nor hi it my wish to prescribe
uniformity in such unessential particulars. Ilut the
serious questions which might arise from difference of
legislation on that portion of the subject which relates to
dissolution of marriage, or divorce riardo—queßtions
possibly affecting the validity of marriages contracted in
one part of the empire after divorce in another, and con-
sequently legitimacy of offspring -render it advisable
that if the Legislature should pass any Act varying in an
important degree from the present law of England in
this particular you should reserve it for the considera.
tion of Her Majesty. The dame in most Governor's in-
structions relating to Divorce Acts has been usually held
to apply only to special Bill, for the relief of named
penons, and you need not consider yoarself in any way
fettered by its provisions. I find from communications
received from parte of Her Majesty's colonial posses-
sions, that an iinpression existed that the late Govern-
ment designed to pro's's° to Parliament measures for
extending the law to the dominion of the Crown in
general. lam not aware on what ground this has
been supposed, and can only state that nu inch measure
is in contemplation. I have, kc., STANLEY."

ECCLIM ARTICAL CougisaioN.—The Lord Lieutenant
has appointed Mr. Arthur Edward Gayer,
to the t7onninissionerahip vacant by the death of Sir
Henry Mcredyth. Mr. Gayer was an unsucceiedul
candidate for Trinity College MI the retii ement of Mr.
feorge Alexander Hamilton from Parliamentary life.
In politica the learned gentleman is an ultra•conserva-
live. The salary of the Commiasionershir is .1:1.000 a
year, and the dutiea bring almost nominal, it was thought
no successor would have been appointed to Sir Henry
Meredyth.

PARTY FuRY.—A painful accident, which occurred j
at a railway station at Limerick county lately,illintrates
the length to which party feeling may be carried. Mr. !
!tendon, a supporter of the Tory candidate, was reeog-
nised and iusaileil by a party headed by one Boles. Mr.
Hendon defended himself, and, retreating to a carriage,
entered it. Boles seised a stick carriml by Mr. Ileuaton
and would not let it go, although the train began to
move. Mro held Win, but, of aourae, as lie stupidly
persisted in holding fast by the dick, he kept pace with
the train, and, arriving at the end of the platform, fell
down the steps, and was killed. Clearly he killed him-
self. Not so thought the mob. Mr. lieuston was ar-
rested, charged with manslaughter, and not liberated
until a jury returned • verdict of " Accidental death."
" House Dnetditit."—A recent inquiry at the Cork
Workhouse is likely to attract attention to the treat-
ment of pauper children generally. According to a re-
port of the Mayor, the children in thia pauper prison
have been starved into dorfula, starved into blindneiss
(32 have been sent to the Blind Asylum), starved into
iiliotcy. There are 48 young creatures stunted ingrowth
and intellect, and scarcely one not diseased ; though we
are happy to learn that 115 children are still "able to
move about, and are not perfectly ruined." "1 dud,"
says the Mayor, " that during the last four years there
has been an average of WI children in the hon.% and
the avenge mortality has been 158." The chaplain de-
posed that many the children in the house are " suf-
fering from scrofula and akin disease, or, as they espres-
, sively call it, ' louse decline.' " 1 attribute it," he says,
"to bad air, bad water, bad diet, and bad hospital classi-
fication." As the inquiry has been adjourned, we shall
nut say more at present than that it is high time a simi-
lar inquiry was instituted in our metropolitan work-
houses.
