- After-tie preliminary loyal toasts, the Clumgrat
gave '• The Army. Navy, and Volunteers."
Captain Iturn.ci said he had retied from the navy
30 yams, and therefore he could not tell them • great
deal about its state of efilicsonoloinpressnt day.
The navy had always bees put be believed
some of aces present we— m gnat grumblors. He
could oely say if they had ever been in a gnu or guard
room they would not be surprised at it. It was the
commas privllep of &teams., ad there we not
much harm in it. Bt there was on. staled upon
which he could sincerely congratulate them, which had
occurred since they had last met. Diparenose of
opinion would aiways arise with Worsen* to those
measures which might be parsed by &pre. Govern.
=but he thought there was one which had been
Owl Ow* Alkat Gemmed& bad bow In

power which he thought everyone would agree ought
to be a source of pride and gratification to every
citizen in this country, and that was that Bogging had
been abolished. (Applause.) In the show-yard that
day his mind had been disabused of as allasioe of 40
years standing. A friend of his had told him one of
the tens of quality is a boast wee its hardness and
hardness. Now his mind went back to the beef the
need to have at their midshipmen's Mies sad he amid
only say that if firmness and hardness were • tile, why
then the navy in those days must have been fed ou
prize cattle. (Laughter.)
Captain DUIRWOOD responded for the volunteers.
His company did not numb-r more than 70 or 75, but
still there were men who once belonged to it in various
parte of the world, and he had no doubt as they did
their duty when with him they would elsewhere. He
believed the county of Dorset could show as fine •
body of men as were to be met with in England.
In_proposing "The health of the Rialto,' and Clary,"
the 11111&X remarked they had
matintially fortu-
nate In this county that they had no advocate of those
advanced opinions which wows sot approved by the
1111S11111 body of the people With the toast be coupled
the names of the Hey: Kr. Esanard (the rector of
liarnhull) and the Rev. Malcolm Laing.
The Rev. Mr. ICIONALD replied, exorsealeff his
thasidninses for the good relations which in his parish
existed between the clergy and the
The Rev. Mr. LAING also replied.
The toast of "The County Members" followed. the
Ctirazing expressing the deep regret which be was
sure they would join in,that they had noptttdeteentre
of wreing_their old friend, M ifl r. oyer. re
them' He earnestly and sincerely hoped he wiThig
very shortly be restored to a slate .4 perfect health.
Ha had served the county for upwards of 30 Years, aid
they must all hope they would have his servioss for
very many years longer.
The next toast was that of the " Lord Lieutenant
and Magistrates." The Cnstanaz remarked be was
happy to say they were about to have additions made
to their bench. He was sure they would welcome those
gentlemen who might be added, and would be glad to
receive their co-operation in the admisistration of the
laws. With the toast he coupled the name of Captain
Hanham, who was thoroughly well versed in the laws
of the country, and discharged them faithfully,
honestly, and jostly. (Cheers.)
Captain HANHAN felt especially flattered at the kind
way in which the Chairman bad spoken of him, and
for this reason. &handing in that room, his mind was
carried back to his (Mr. Yeatman'e) good father. If
ever Janke was administered fairly and impartially,
and tempered with mercy, it was administered in that
room by Mr. Footman'. father. (Hen, hear.) Of
him it might truly be said that if to live in the heart
of than we leave bellied was not to die, then
he still lived. (Hear, hear.) Referring to
Mr. Flom, he said although there was not •
single political view which be held in common with
him he should extremely regret the time when be
might not be one of their representatives. He warn an
example of straitforwardneas combined with fidelity to
his party, and some who belonged to the opposition
party to his might take a lesson from him. Thine was
nothing weak-kneed about him. (Cheers.) They would
never find hiss " trimming." (Applause.) Alluding
to the question of local taxation, the gallant captain
expressed a stro. g opinion anion the magistracy
levying the rates, cud to leave it to the public generally
simply the part of paying for them. He hoped we
should shortly have • real County Boards' til, and
then the matter, he hoped, would be settled. Some
seemed to think it • vs ry difficult question, hut he
thought it could easily be grappled with if they looked
I s resolutely in the face. He thought the depression
of the trade of this count, y and the agricultural
Interest had not been altogether for their
had learnt to think for themselves. (Hear, hear.)Thig
believed the law in relation to the highways was
Iniquitous in the extreme—not that, in his opinion,
there was too much mo ey laid out on the made, but
the way in which it was raised. It was monstrous
that ens man who never drove a vehicle over them in
his life shou!d pay for their repair, while another who
rode and drove over them every day of his life did not'
contribute a peony. When County Boards were
established he thought they would see a solution of
that question. He urged diem to set their faces
against petty sessional divisions, and to go in for the
unions, lie would abolish overseers, for he believed
them to be melees and when they were not they were
a nuisaaos. In conclusion he denied that the magis-
trat a were partial in the adminstration of the Game
Laws. After an experience of 90 years, he said if there
~,as one offence that was lo .ked upon with more
lenisncy than another in tha-. division it was a breach
of the Game Law,. (A voice "How about Dor-
chester. ? ")
"The h. elk of General Pitt-Rivers "was then given
from the chair, and acknowle iged by Mr. Cessna.
Captain amuse
'proposed "The health of their
esteemed Chairman. (Cheers.) He bore a name
hosotirel in the county of Dorset, cad in that division
more especially. (Hear, hear.) He was a good magis-
trate, • friend to all, and without an enemy In the
world. One thing had hitherto been lacking—he was
not a married man but he understood that it wee
about to be remedied. (Cheers.) He trusted they
might some day have the oppoitunity of showing Mrs.
Yoakum how much they appreciated her husband.
(Ayplaass.)
The CILLIMILX briefly thanked the company, remark-
ing with regard to Captain flanham's allusion to his
contemplated change in life, that he thanked them for
the warm expression they had given of interest in his
future happiness and welfare.
Mr. HURT Foogs proposed "The health of the
Saccessful Comvetitore," coupled with the name* of
Mr. Fryer and Mr. Benkfield.
Mr. JOHN COATS responded, and in his turn gave
"The Judges.' coupled with the 01411(111 of Mr.
Phillips and Mr, Hatcher, and responded to by the
latter. _

--Tie Rex. R.. KINNARD gave "Th. health of their
excellent Committee."

FooKe —rip-liefi in a humorous speech, alluding
to tha araistanos they had met with from Mr.
Rohertaon.

The CHAIMAN then gave "The toast of the Hoe.
Secretary." (Cheers.)
Mr. DAMIWOOD replied, and said the society had
now been established 48 year,, and he had been con.
nected with it 33. He expressed a hope that their
subscription list would be largely increased this year,
and said he had received lettere from Lord Wolverton,
Sir A. Glyn and Ur. Portman, who had offered to
take the chair next year, regretting thrir in ability to
be present.
"The Preis." and " The ViosChairman," concluded
the list of toasts.
