His book, "Quips and Cranks," is much better than
the title page, and the prose writing far superior to the
engravings, and the poetry best of all. The volume
ocontaitss some charming essays, exhibiting a depth of
feeling and • kicionem of observation upon which may
well he based a sontlent hope of great encases for
Mr. Hood as an author hereafter. The pus of the
volume, and that which demonstrates beyond scything
else the main source of Mr. Hood's strength, is the
first simple tale... My song." The main quality of the
tale is It. subdued pathos, No elegy has yet been
written in any I.ngnap—ancient or modern— more
heart-stirring or more tear exciting, than that moving
quietlytold tale of bye—the selfish and the true love
of min and woman. Here, beyond any other part• of
the book. are to be found the imprints of originality,
and the touches of • master hand. This is the path
for Mr. food to climb if he wishes to reach the
pinnacle of fame, and to make for himself • name
worthy to stand on • level with that of his father.
THE Quiets: Owen, Petter and Galpin.—The first
number of "The Quiver," a weekly penny journal, is
Dew before us, and if itis to be taken as a specimen of
what are to follow, we may safely prom:eines it to be
I cm* of the best. as well as one of the cheapest of cheep
periodicals. The projector, state their object to be
" The advancement of religion in the houses of the
PemPle." and add—" By depicting the natural influence
of religion on all that makes home virtuous and
happy—on temperance, cleanliness, fmality, and
manners • on tbe growth of character, sW the forma-
tion of habit' ; on mental culture; on all the prudential,
social, and secular virtues—we shall hope to augment.
elevate, and refine the satisfactions and pleasures of
the domestic hearth, to foster and promote the early
buddinp of the inner life ; to encourage the young to
prepare for • world in which character is easentisd to
consideration and sumer ; and to demonstrate the
truth, and to aid its realimtion in the experience of
many, that "Godliness is profitable for all things,
having the proniise of the life that now is and of
that which i• to come." We have read several of the
articles with the greatest satisfaction. Their tone is
wholly free from sectarianism, and as both the pe
and the paper are good, we predict for "the Quiver" •
cry extensive circulation.

AU communications in relation to whatever de
partment of the Paper are to be addreesed to

Agricultural tiaseUe, at the Office, Church
Street, Dorchester.

PORTLAND.

We regret to learn that owing to his continued
lameness. Captain Manning was unable to attend the
Consecration Service at the new burial ground on
Wednesday last. The short period the Bishop was
able tostay on the island precluded his paying a visit
to her Majesty's lieutenant of the island on the
occasion, but we understand that his lordship has
signified his intention to visit Portland again
shortly, and that he will then be received as a guest
at Portland Castle.

frrabt anb Commerce.

The directors of the Bolb of &etre& at their
weekly meeting on nand y, yedue4 the ini„hettie
rota of dise.ouns from .te per cent., at which it was
lined thst day fortnight, to 4 per cent. In conseneenor
of this reduction, the joint-stook basks and discount
houses lowered their rates for money on deposit to 3 per
cent. at call, and 31 per cent. at seven days' notice.
The London and Westminster &Mk. however, allowed
3 per cent, on soma only of two and upwards. and 2
per oent on entailer amount'. The alterstion* iii the
Blink return prove that the directors have been Instilled
in the course pursued. With the diminution in trade.
and the steady increase in the reserve of notes, no other
alternative could have been adopted If the court desired
to secure business; and hence most people are Prepare,'
to agree with what has been done. The name of
notes has increased £310,606, standing covet £7.137.875.
and the stock of bullion presents • total of £13,104,322.
or an increase of £271.041. The private securities have
run down to £17.401.503, a decrease of £340,611. Th,
private deposit's may be taken as £12,774,391, an il/CTellet
of f 933,648.

The Board of Trade returns for the mouth and seven
months ending 31st July have been Weed, and they
show a serious contraction of the export trade of tie
(lona ry. The declared value of exports for the month
is 1:10,094.260. and, compared with tl.e corresponding
1 month last yesr, biIOWII a falling off of £2,428,428. or
about 18 per cent. The articles upon which th.
princival reduction has occurred are beer. ale, cottons
earthenware, glass, haberdashery. hard ware, and cutlery,
limns. linen yarn, steel, tin, silk manutacanres, and
stationery. In nearly ad these items the diminution ol
extorts to the United Kingdom forums the must
prominent feature. In sonic few articles such as cools,
cotton yarn. machinery, pig iron, and thrown silk there
is an increase, which is, however, onnisiled to some
extint by the interroptino of our trimastlantic trade.
The imports of the mouth were £14.808.230. showing •
decrease of £2,465.238, nearly one-half of which arises
from the diminished receipts of cotton. The entries for
oonsumption do not indicate unfavourably of the con-
dition of the masses; but as regards most •rticlea ol
domestic cor gumption are rather in excess of the corre-
sponding mouth last year. But the larrst increase is
in the consumption of oleo, which, from 871,861
gallons in July. 1860. rosebud 815,127 in July, 1881, an
exteesion of about 15 per amt. This augurs well for
the working of the commercial treaty, The total
imports of specie duriai the month were £1,826,681,
and the exports £1,001,058.

passed over this town on Thursday evening. The
claps of thunder were very loud, and the lightnin4
vivid. The shower of rain which fell was exceedingly
heavy; we do not recollect having before seen the
drops falling so large and fast, but it was of short
duration.
l'ocarr would seem that a gang of
pocket pickers have visited this town. Since our

having their pockets picked of considerable aunts—

BOAUD or HEALTH. —A meeting of this Board
took place on Tuesday last, when • rather spirited
discussion occurred relative to the late fire, Mr.
kleinioth, agent to the Sun office stating that he
should refuse to pay any part of the expenses which ,
bad been incurred, as be mid he was told that the
engines did not begin to work in consequence of
their being no water for quite half-au hour after they
had arrival, and one of the hydrants was fouud in.
capable of working, as it was ohoked with mud.—
Mr. H. Coates said the insuranee offices ought to
contribute towards the expenses of the tire, and the
churchwardens, who paid £25 p.r annum to keep
the engines iii repair, would shortly issue a notice,
stating that in case of fire occurring on property in
non-subecribing offices the engines would be refused.
A fter some further discussion the following bills a ere
Penny, agent of the office in which the property
was insured, had given orders that beer should be
, supplied to the men who were working the engines,
and • bill had been sent in to him for 4:5 14s. A

• bill to the following effect: " Liquor for attending

YEOVIL.
TRUNDIR STORM. A very heavy thunderstorm
broke over this town on 11,knday week, accompanied
by perhaps the heaviest fall of rain within the recol-
lection of the oldest inhabitant. The dorm first
began shortly after one o'clock in the afternoon,
and continued with increased violence till the
evening, when it somewhat abated. Some parts of
our town were quite Hooded, the drains being tilled
up with loops stones and dirt, and were therefore
unable to carry dr the large body of water which
'lowed incessantly down the streets. At Kingston
the water flowed in one continuous stream, and
such was its force as it went down one of the lanes
leading to the cattle market that a portion of the
wall which surrounds Mr. Phillips' house was
entirely washed away. At the gas-house, too, the
water was very high—nearly to a horse's haunches—
and all traffic to the station was compelled to be
done by 'busses. We hoar that in many houses at
the bottom of Middle-street the water came into
the front rooms, and made its exit through the
lower windows. At the joint station the water ran
from the passenger to the goods station in a stream.
which scattered itself over the neighbourhood. It
appears that Yeovil suffered more than any other
place in its vicinity, the storm having passed over
many of the surrounding villages with scarcely any
violence, they having experienced only a slight
shower of rain • and from inquiries we have made
se find that at porchoster and Weymouth nothing
of the storm was felt, except a heavy fall of rant,
accompanied by high triads.
