The widen% to the three boys on Wednesday, which
almcet terminated fatally,suggests °floor t wo oonaidera-
tione. The first is—whether it Is &drillable ken.
psresootd boys, unable to swim, should be eattuated
with a sailing beet, without some capable parson in
charge. If there is no bye-law, as in most towns, deal-
ing with this question, it is one, perhaus, not unworthy
the cqnsideratioa of the Owned or the Quay Trustees—
whiobever body of the two it may oome within the
province of. And another is, whether the absurd
regulations, which at present reward the finder of a
dead body with half a sovereign, wnile the saver of
human life is sent empty away, should not be rendered
more e:astia, urely In this case the man Flicker, who
has on various corneae proved himnilf very useful,
deserves that recognition from the public I lands, which
the parents of the boys are to.) poor to offer.

Our good friends at Yarkstone must command the
deepest commiseration. A.coording to • letter from the
vicar, from which we give extracts in another column.
It would seem the psrceful fold of the Establishment
in that piaci bag been invaded by a wolf in "hi op's
clothing. In other words, a gentleman, calling himaelf
the Rev. Riphinstone Robertson, has been discharging
the duties of the priestly office, and even, as Mr.
Drlgmore says, goirg so far as to "celebrate the Holy
Rucharist"—that is, he administered the Communioa—
several times; and, honlble to relate. it is a question
whether he is a priest at all. We can well realise the
terrible anxiety which must fill the bosoms of the
devout, while the subject remains obscured in doubt.
It is to be hoped he did not celebrate any marriages,
for, if Ur. Dm/morels 'reaction turn out correct, it will
be rather unposassat for the parties roost interested in
those little ev,oto. It is only fair to say, however, that
Mr. Robertson declares he has a cdnidete answer to
the charge ; and we belies-) he was very much like
duritg hi, stay in the place. And it grins rather
singuter the vicar did not demand the ' rev." gentle-
stan's credentials before he engaged him to do duty.

About 80 of our volunteers, I hear, have given In
their nem% to attend the Windsor iter:ew. Shoul.!
we get a repetition of the hot %nether of hlondey and
Tuesday, it is probable this number, with the abomin.
able slaughter at Alderehot borne in mind, wdl be con-
siderably curtailed. Patriotism can be carri.d to, far.

on Thursday evening, on her return from conveying •
goodly number of excursionists to Torquay. The

DASTARDLY MDICHIKY.—S 'me ill-iisposed person
has broken one of the headstones at the Bridport
Cemetery, and the Burial Board has offenxi L*2 reward
for information leading to the conviction of the party.
A more reprehensible or sacrilegious wantonness can
scarcely be imagined, for no possible reason can be
assigned for such an act. It is hoped on all sides that
the discovery of the offender will be made, and that
in the event of discovery the authorities will inflict a
punishment such an act merits.
TUR STORM.—A tremendous thunderst irm broke
over this neighbourhood about 9 p.m. on Tuesday
accompanied by lightning of an almost unprecedented
brightness. The veined and forked lightnii.g was
bribiant, and the rain continued with much force and
without abatement for some considerable time. Tee
thun let pealed with much force, the storm lasting
mose or learn till late on the following morning. During
the whole of Tuesday the heat was intense, the
barometer re;istering 92.5 in the shade about noon.
Some of the gardens in the locality have received
damage from the storm, and the haymaking was
seriously impeded.

THE MARQUIS OF RIPON.

The Manton' of !lite t, after a gallavt struggle, has
practically sbandoned the attstnitt to live in India.

quite orr an that be has now recognised the lint osti-
bility of tusking • ,en4thened star. This is not
officially acknowledged, and may perhaps be offici illy
contrsdictsd, hut it is nevertheless the f..ct. Having
now stayed a considsrable portion of the hot season,
he will probably stay through the winter; but I have
good reason to know that, before next spring sou will
hear tit the appointment of • new Viceroy. Who this
is to he is • matter already being discussmi. Mr.
Forster is named, but probably this is due to the con•
viction that Mr. inter is so unhappy and beset at
the Irish Office that he would be glad to accept any
decent opportunity for retirement. I think it • much
more likely proWhility that the rest will be offered
to Mr. Guschen. One suggestio for rewarding him
for the services performed to the country by his mbsion
to Constantinople, after successfully accomplishing
the settlement of the Greek frontier question, is that
he is waiting his time, and has declined a pe-rage
because he will certainly by-and-bye attain to • higher
position in the councils of the naliln. If between now
and the settlement of the c tunty franchise clues-
tins, on which he remains immovably oppo-ed to the
current of public opinion in favour of aseimilation of
the county to the borough franchise, a sui•able office
could be found for him, it would bs rt gsrded as a de-
sirable event from all pints of view. Mr. Goschen ii

after repairs which have been going on for several

parts of the whole edifice, fell greatly into decay,
IU 111151121117 f her husband, has been restored at great
expense by Mrs. Handl. on, widow of the late dean.
The work done has been somewhat extensive and costly.
The pillars and arches forming so many recesses over
the stone seats on each side of the interior of porch, and
the shafta, with their abacuses of Purbeck marble, have
been polished in conformity with those in the nave and
other parts of the cathedral But the capitals of the
columns—nearly all alike—have been left untouched.
The massive ancient oaken doors have been refaced,
and elalsirateiy-designed iron hinges spread their
ttacery over them. An elegant iron g.teway has been
placed in front. The repairs have been carried out in
accordance with the advice of Mr. Street, the architect
of the London LAW Courts.

LANDSLIP NEAR BRIDPORT.

Geologists may find an interesting research in the
debris of an immense landslip which has just occurred
In the oolite formation of the cliffs about two mace
west of Ilridport Harbour. It has for some time been
observed that • large piece of land was gradually
subsiding, and those who were aware of it are not
surprised at the collapse. The lowest computation
gives us that 20,000 tons of s..il hvie loosened from
the mainland, portions of it havingibeen precipitated to
the water's edge. The cause of the slip, by viewing the
elefiris, will be seen at • glance. The strata of the cliffs
are composed of a substratum of green sand, over
which extends a layer of blue Has, the top stratum
being of formould of a loose nature. For ages pas'.
a fresh spring has found its way from almost the
lofty summit of the cliff, right down to the shore,
flowing through cavities caused by the curvstures in
its course. The water has gradually percolated the
strata, causing them to be conipletely saturated. These
strata of oof to formatoni have thus been ter 'dually
undermined, resulting in a formidable slip, one of the
largest which have taken place on the coast since the
terrible and memorable one at Lyme Regis nearly half
a century ago. The tresent slip is in the parish of
Symondsbury, and the land occupied by Mr. W
Elmwood, of I 'own House, who used the cliffs as pasture
land. A quantilty of the surface has given way, and it
Is probable that within • few years other po Lions will
follow. The neighbouring cliffs abound with marl lies,
and various sands, in which from time to lime have
been found valuable organic remains and other
curiosities. It is possible that the landslip will prove
of immense interest in a geological sense.
