THE REV' V i.m.—The Belfast ..V( weever, an authority
upon Northern rev ivalisms, states that the
movement is only now coniinencing in right earnest in
the capital of Ulster. By way of illustrating its pro-
gress the Newalettcr narrates the particulars of a decided
" Case" VIZ. —" On Saturday evening last a young women
named Anne Devlin, *landing in Ilunter's•row fell off
in this state at 11 o'clock, as she had previously stated
she would do. There was no clock or other time piece
in the house in which she could be in anywise guided;
and yet at the hour which she bail named she fell over
into a state of uneonsciomness to all around, although
not of inertion. She WWI to all appearance quite deaf
and speechless, while her countenance was lighted up
I with • glow of joy and radiant sluice winch bsfile des-
cription. Her Bible and hymn-book lay on her bed,
and with her eyes perfectly closed she turio.4l over the
I of these books with • rapidity which could not be
approached by any one in a conscious state, and in them
isonted out the most appropriate passages mid hymns.
As for instance, she signed with her hand the crowning
of the Saviour with • crown of thorns, and quick as
thought she turned over the leaves of the Bible, and
marked with her finger the passage— They platted •
crown of thorns, and put it about his head,' dm. 'this
and many other portions uf Scripture she turned to just
as ,die required to refer to them, although she could see
nothing. She also invariably selected • hymn to suit
the portion of Scripture. Before falling into this state she
stated she would recover at 11 o'clock on Sunday night.
At that hour last night her poor, miserable residence
was filled with all classes. At that hour she began to
give signs of returning to her usual state, and at about
half•past 11 she was quite restored to consciousness and
the use of her speech. Before recovering she pointed
out Zechariah vi., 2-8 inclusive. The reader will readily
see the appropriateness of the passage by referring to
' the Book. She also pointed out the hymn by Charles
Wesley, beginning :
Glory to God, whose aerereign grace
animated tentielool stones.'
The force of these verses and their applicability to the
present revival will at once be seen by any who will
refer to the hymn. These portions of the Word of God
' and of the hymn book she turned to while wholly desti•
tote of the power or use of sight. On recovering, her
' find act was to pray that Goa might make her useful in
bringing others to the Saviour, and might preserve
herself from ever becoming a 'castaway.' This girl is
in great poverty, and is an object of Christian charity."

WEYMOUTH.

MELANCHOLY OCCVERCE.—A lad named Wil-
liam Stevens, between eleven and twelve years of
age, was drowned in the mill stream at Nottim,,,ton,
near Weymouth, on saturday week, lie ww+ sent
by his elder brother to a field for Ms pony, and not
being seen for some time a search was made, and the
poor little fellow was found quite dead in the stream,
in which he had apparently been immersed for 801110
hours. It is conjectured that he must have gone to
the water aide for the purpose of washing his hands,
and in stooping over-balanced himself and fell into
the stream, which is seven or eight feet deep. An
inquest was held on the body, before G. Symonds.
Esq., e.roner, and a verdict of " Found Drowned"
returned.

St. Mary's church, which is generally much crowded
at the Sunday services. We have already given a
sketch of the new organ, which is a masterpiece of
workmanship, highly creditable to the builder, and
an ornament to the church, whose appearance is
considerably improved by its erection, as well as by
the new galleries for the Sunday school children,
who are placed on either side. The powers of the
new instrument were ably developed by Mr. ltooke,
in the course of the services.

SWANAOE.

LAVING TUE FOUNDATION STONE OF THE PIER.
—A new era, as regards the trade and com-
merce of this increasing watei ing-plaee, has coin.
mewed. On Monday week the first stone of a new
pier was laid, with which is to be connected a train-
way along the hills from the numerous stone quarries,
which will not only do away with the team labour
and endless wear and tear of the present mode of
transferring the stone to the ships, bat will work a
gradual reform in the whole trading of the place.
The town presented a very gay appearance. being
profusely decorated with Bags and evergreens ; •
battery of cannon was also planted near the spot for
the intended pier, and at intervals the reverberations
among the hills gave token of an extraordinary
event. Bands of music were also in attendance.
Visitors began early to pour into the place, the
steamers from Poole bringing several freights during
the morning, and from Wareham, Corte, and the
whole Isle of Purbeck there was a constant accession.
At about three o'clock a procession was formed
before the Royal Victoria Hotel, and, headed by the
band, proceeded to the spot close at band, where
the foundation stone was to be laid. Many ladies
graced the procession and thus added to the effect.
The stone was laid by J. Mowlem, Esq., the chair-
man of the company, (assisted by Capt. Dloorson,
the engineer) to whom the contractor, Walton,
Esq., banded the silver trowel. The done was then
lowered into its place in due form, and a prayer
offered up by the Rev. G. V. Garland for the suc-
cess of the undertaking, the band playing the
National Anthem, and the battery firing a Royal
salute. The procession then reformed and returned
to the Royal Hotel. Among the company
were H. D. Seymour, Eq., M.P. for Poole, J.
, S. W. S. Erle Drax, Esq., H.P. for Wareham. J.
11. Calcraft, Esq., H. Calcraft, Esq., Thomas Phip-
pard, Esq., W. Phippard, Esq., Mrs. Phippard,
Miss Phippard, Miss A. Phippard, Miss Baker,
Miss Charrington, and many other ladies. N. K.
Vetch, Esq., W. C. Lacy, Esq., Capt. Hill, Dr.
Wegg, J. 0. Phippard, C. Filliter, J. Penton, R..
Ledgard, Charrington, Steele, Gaakill,
Babbington, Eggs., Capt. Moorsoin, engineer to
the company, Rev. Alston, Rev. J. M. Colson,
and a host of other visitors. A dinner was provided
by Mr. Rowe at the hotel, and at which upwards of
70 ant down, the arrangements and dinner were
I admirably got up and gave the greatest satisfaction.
The Chairman was very happy in his remarks. Mr.
Dnix gave his best wishes to the scheme. Mr.
Denby Seymour made a most effective speech, going,
incidentally, into the question of the ..siast defences.
Mr. Phippard also spoke in favour of the scheme,
which was also ably supported by Mr. Ledgard,
banker, Poole, seconded by Mr. Welch, of Poole,
reviewing his reminiscences of Swanage for 50 years,
and urging now that the stone was moved, to keep
it rolling, and converting it into bread. Altogether
the meeting was of a most gratifying nature, and
promising great things for one of the fairest spots of
the beautiful sea-board of Dorset.

STALBRIDGE.

ARCIIEHY.—The third meeting for this season of
the Anglesea Archery Club was held in Stalbridge
Park on Tuesday, the 30th ult. This, the last, and
timidly the best meeting of the year, had been looked
forward too with much interest by the members of i
the " A.C.A.C.," as in addition to the usual club
prizes the two beautiful prizes presented by the Hon.
Mrs. Portman, the "Lady Paramount "for the pre-
sent year, had to be decided. Unfortunately the
death of the Rev. Mr. Fox, the father of the pule.
fatigable secretary of the club, prevented many from
attending; and the rainy and tempestuous state of
the weather no doubt kept away many others, con-
sequently the attendance did not come up to the
usual average. However, in spite of wind and
weather, 24 archers took their places at the targets,
and the shooting was carried on with much spirit,
and considering the gale of wind, which, especially I
at the commencement of the shooting, gave an unto- •
ward direction to many a shaft, the practice was ex-
ceedingly good. After the shooting for the prizes
of the day was over and dinner had been discussed,
the ladies shot a "handicap ;" after which the prizes
were given to the successful competitors by Mrs. Lit-
tlehales (in the absence of Mrs. Portman) according
to the following list :—Ladies.—lst prize for score,
Mrs. Mogg ; 2nd ditto for hits, Mrs. Du Boulay ;
3rd for best gold, Mrs. Spencer Meade; wooden
spoon (for greatest number of whites), Mrs. Price,
who also won the " Lady Paramount's " prize. The
" Club Badge," which has been held for three sea-
sons by Miss Fox, was won this year by Mrs. Mogg ;
Miss Fox having lost her chance of retaining it by
not being able to be present at this meeting. Gen•
tlemen.—lst prize, Mr. Coulson; 2nd ditto, Mr.
l'rice ; 3rd for best gold, Mr. Wilmott ; wooden
spoon, Mr. Du Boulay ; stranger's prize, Mr. Eve-
! rett ; lady paramount's prize, .Mr. Foster; apa ir of
targets, offered by Mr. Bergman for the greatest num-
ber of golds during the three meetings, Mr. l'rice.
After this all adjourned to the ball-room, at Stal-
bridge, where they kept up the "merrie dance" till a
late hour in a most spirited manner, to which the
excellent band of Mr. Targett, from Soothampton,
in no.little wise contributed; and it is due to him to
say that on all sides the highest praise of the manner
in which his band performed their part was heard.

WEYMOUTH RACES.

The races which are always looked forward to
with a great deal of local interest, commenced on
Wednuiday last. The weather was none of the
most favourable, still the attendance must be coon-
derail to have been tolerably fair -particularly when
we recollect that the second day is known to be
the favourite. The stewards were the borough
members (who did not attend), J. Hopis, Esq., and
W. H. I'. Weston, Esq., on who'll devolved the othee
of judges of the course. The bet: rang for the first
start at two o'clock.

The Weymouth Stakes of five sovereigns each, with
twenty-five added:

Mr. Oliver's Pirate (W. Bartlett) 4 dr.
In the first heat Gift led, closely followed by Min-
ster, Pirate, and Fun, side by side, and no change
tAnk place in tin, running until the last turn, when
Minster came on and won easy by a length ; a neck
between the second and third. Pirate broke down
at the corner. This is attributed to a fall, met with
during the morning's exercise. In the second heat
Gift was withdrawn, and an excellent race took
place between Minster anil Fun. The former won
by halls length.
The Melcombe Stakes of ten sovereigns each, handicap,
five forfeit, with CIO added; L'2s each by Lord Grey
de Wilton and Robert Brooks, Esq., the members for
the borough : _

Mr. Meilish's Tame Deer (Covey) 1
Mr. Stinton's Grillade (Leaks) 2
There were eight entries, but two only started.
Tame Deer went off with the lead, and maintained
it, with little exception, the distance being pretty
nearly equal throughout Grillade, however, got
ahead when near the corner, but lost her place be-
fore turning, and Tame Deer won by rather more
than a length. This was a very spirited run.
The Two-year-old Stakes did not filL
The Hunters' Stakes of one sovereign each, with
twentyfive added:

Mr. P. Hill's The Pony . .(Mr. S. Lane) 1 1
Mr. Woohnington's Chief Baron . (Owner)2 2
Mr. W. &away's Paddy (Owner) 3 3
Fooks' Cock of the West (Mr. F.

House)
This being a race of strictly local interest, created
considerable excitement on the course. A capital
start was made, the bold hunters clearing the bar-
riers in gallant style. Paddy took the lead, with
Pony in close attendance, but on " overing " the
last hurdles, gave place to Pony, who won by a
couple of lengths. Some very exixllent riding was
displayed on all hands. In the second beat Cock of
the West withdrew. The racing was between Pony
and Chief Baron. l'ony won by half a length. This
terminated the races.

IL3IINSTER.

Our fair was h;hl;;"lYsediTe-sday last, in a field
opposite the church, which is far more convenient
than it was when Judd in the streets. There was a

many good animals offered but those brought high
prices.

WAYTOWN.

The annual service in connection with the Inde-
pendent Chapel, Waytovvn, was held on Thursday
last. Owing to the unsettled state of the weather,
the attendance was not so large as usual. Tilt WAS
provided at 5 o'clock; of this about 60 partook. It
was expected that the Rev. J. Rogers, of Briclport,
and the Rev. A. Bishop (late of Beamiusteri, would
address the meeting after tea, but owing to the
indisposition of the former gentleman, a sermon was
preached by Mr. Bishop, from Hebrews, chap. vi.,
verse lii. "For God is not unrighteous, to forget
your work and labour of love." The sermon, which
was addressed more particularly to Sunday school
teachers, was plain and practical. A collection waa
made after the service, and the proceeds, together
with the profits of the tea, were devoted to supply-
ing the Sunday school with books, Itc.

PROVISION MARKET.

The dealings in most kinds of butter are only to a mo-
derate extent, yet prices rule steady, the best Dutch

dearer.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

BOROUGH FRIDAY', burr. 9.—The supply of new hops
is becoming extensive; but the demand is by no means
active, at follows :—Weald of Keats, We. to ;
Hessen, Ms. to ; Mid and East Kents, 80s. to 119 s.
The general condition of the samples is very line.
Yearling and old hope are nominal in price. The duty
is called EZZ,OOO.
The market is now supplied with • good share of
hops from all districts, and come exceedingly good;
they have met with customers at the following
currency, and the prosoicts seem good for the season.
the consumption being found increasingly large. Mid
and East Kenta, MOs. to 191 k; Wealds, 6.8.1. to tiOs.
Sussex, Wis. to Gus. The duty has gone up during
the past week, but we see no reason to alter the

Since our last report there has been no disposition

to operate. Very line 1104:411 rule about stationary ; but
the value of deepirrown fleeces rules in favour of
