WILFUL DAMAO! TO MACRIPZILT. —At the Wimborne
Peke Court. lest week, before Sir E. Greathed, Bar t.,
and St. John Coventry, 114 q., an engineer, named
Willie= Haar, was brought up on remand charged
with having wilfully damaged machinery at the Kinson
, Pottery winks to the event of fl2OO Mr. Moore
! appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Tanner on behalf
of the priaoner.—Mr. Llement Betstone, one of the pro-
' Prietors, said that the prisoner had been employed to
drive a retionary epees. Shortly alter being
engaged the boilers began to leak, and soon
three were useless through holes they contained.
Two vertical boilers wale then procured; and on
one occasion, when they wanted 'rarer, and there
was dauvr of an explosion, it was discovered that
a slate had been Load over the pipe at the
reservoir, so that the water could not run. On another
eeeesiee the engine began to jump, and it was
found, upon investigation, that the brasses had been
fixed so tightly round the shaft that the oil was
excluded, lt eventually transpired that the prisoner
got. inro the tube cf the boiler with • hammer and
chisel, in order to make it leak; he had also put bricks
into the due of boiler No. 2, which had greatly pre-
vented the draught, and had repeats, dy set the engine
going when it was without water, apparently for the
purpose of =king it. explode; a your h named Friend
succeeded, however.. in preventing such a catastrophe.
The prisoner's motive seems to have been gain, for by
the machinery hswould have had to work
both nig t and day, tbereby earning increased wages.
The magistrates. aflitr • brief consultation, committed
the prionier for trial, bail being accepted, the prisoner
in Dioo aid two sureties of 1100 each.

euhscrlptione to awry net the ainmemessU of the week,
and they have met with entire ancesea. Our members
have subecribed hen guineas each towards the raling
sports, which will be run for on Wednesday week, and
should the weather be line, a number of the racing
fraternity from all parts of the ciountry will be present,
as seat sand races are very seldom witnessed at any of
our +atone,' places. Oer exoellent mayor (.1. Tixard.

oommittee appointed for carrying out the amusements
of the week met at the Guildhall. under the presidency
of the Mayor, sad, through the energetic exertions of
Messrs. Howard and J. Swinton, an °eminent pro-
gram (vide advertisement) is provided. Since the oom-
mittee met, the daily papers have ebrosielad the death
of the Star Diver, at Derby, so that sensational
performance has been drink out of the programme,
and no doubt the committee will substitute some other
entertainment suitable to the enjoyment of the
public. We have been given to unteretand that several
tradesmen will erect some handsome decorations, and a
triumphal arch suitable for the °peados, whilst others
will illuminate their respective dwellings, and the
entire sports will be wound up with • magnificent

THE DORSET COUNTY SCHOOL.

To ike Editor.

Eitg,—My name has been somewhat gratuitously in.
troducod into the controversy respecting the County
School, and' as it is pr.bsble that I may be absent
from home at the time of the prorated public meeting,
I would venture to ask for a little mete in your
columns to say • few words in its behalf. My greed
f is lea any harm should accrue to an institution,
calculated, I conceive, to be eminently tuefol, through
the squabble. to which it seems at this moment to be
inevitably doomed. It
.may not be unnatural for
p‘reate to withdraw thew confidence in it., if they sup-
pose that its Council-bo.ard is the Geld of theological
weetere and part, plotting. May I assure them, not-
withstanding appearanoes to the contrary, that as far
as I know, it is nothing of the sort ; that the oonduot of
the school bat been left exelosively in the bands of the
Head Master, that the character of ita teaching has
been, as in other schools, dependent upon him ; and
that the public has the best possible guarantee that it
will not be interfered with in the very fact that its
C,oonoll is formed of men of very various views and
opinions. Ido not care to justify my vote the other
day against Mr. Ward —I have his private assurances
that be does not complain of it himself ; and I certainly
should not complain if he, or any other ahareholder,
should, in • like mem, vote against use, The provision
that serial. members are to retire every year would be
an utter absurdity, if it were deemed a point of amatory
and honour Invariably to reelect them. The only
yoga on which I should feel aarieved, would be if I
were to be 'Plated simply bemuse I am • clergyman,
and bemuse Dr. Caudell, or anybody ela, wanted to
trim the boat, so as to have • preponderance of laymen
in it. I can well understand his desiring to have
persons of his own opinions in the aseendant. and I feel
so astonishment at the laudable ambition which seems
to have possessed him, to be himself one of our
number; but I do protest, as I should bare
imagined he would have protested, against this
odious comparison between lay and clerical members.
I do not think I eon any more • Churchman bemuse
I am • clergyman, but certainly I do not think
Lam boy the wet. Ido Dot pretend, as others do for
me, that I obtained • vast ameasion ot supernatural
power when I resolved Holy orders ; but, on the other
hand, I have so ides that my competency, either moral
or intellectual, was thereby damayed. In shot t, I hold
this to be a man unworthy anspieion, and one, the
justice and reasonableness of which I for myself, utterly
and entirely repudiate,—Your leithfol wean.,

Tas Ocurrat. Fiisr.—A parliamentary paper has
jest been puWished, which contains Admiral Warden's
reporteof the trials of the Channel Fleet in 1867, with
the remerks of Vice-Admiral Robicson the Controller
of the Navy, thereon. The observations of the Con-
troller consist of • criticel analysis of the performances
of the several ships in the squadron as recorded by
Rear-Admiral Wardeo ; but in the detailed reports there
Cr. very great disarepanciee, which further trials alone
can clear away. Alter the most careful oonaideration,
Admiral Robinson eon see no encouragement whatever
in these reports to return to the construction of un-
handy, long, and oomparatively slightly-armoured
ships; on the contrary, so far as they go, they
thorooghly confirm the propriety of the changes that
have been made in the forms of iihios recently son-
structed—leee length and greater Sighting power, com-
bined with handiness, having been maned to them.
The engines of the new type alone give cause for die.
satbfaction, and they only in some instances, the
peculiarities of which are now undergoing the most
careful inquiry.

SEWING MACHINES.

MHZ manner in which the decisions were
made at tbe Grand Trial of Peeing Mashince,
bold at Island Park, Nee York, in 1865, distinguishes
II in the only trial ewer held in which the verdict
depended, beyond all doubt, solely upon the capabilities
of the competing nieclusee.
'

. -
The judges were peculiarly cempetest, taro of them
Wag empasere, mid elm • eater imoslasturar. one of
the engineers and the meaufaistarer helms dee sewing
machine experts. They tested lb* sompetlag maeldnas
in respect to each of all the items that together con-
stitute the efficiency and utility of • wowing machine,
making immediate award of soperionty in respect to each
item, in the promote of a large imoimunts of spectators
to the trial.

The character of the tiers employed is exhibited in
the report from which we quote: -

" In regard to the decisions or the judge' upon the
several point', it may be remarked that during the
entire trial there Ina scarcely an instance of difference
of opinion—se. indeed, It was hardly possible there
could be, tor the plan adopted was itself a surety both
ef eminimlty and • just decision ; the latter being, in
sash • plan, neither more nor less than the practical
solution of • mathematical problem. For, by 'anent,
log the reapectimi merits of each machine into element*,
or " points." and subj.nting each point separately to
the test of practical work dons on each machine in
preseno• of th• judges, their decision upon each point
vu reduced to the simple sot of recording the facts
developed.
.

"For instant., : each contestant Claims the most
elastic stitch. Then each is required to sew • Damn,
side by side, on the bias of • piece of elastic cloth ;
sad the judge take...the piece and stretches it langth-
ways of the swung, till one gram breaks; be still con-
tinues the stretching, bet lb. other 'cam refuses to
break at all. However disappointed his espectations,
the judge will hardly enter on the record that the broken
seam is the more elastic.

" Such were the testa, end such the inevitable de-
Wiens."

After • content of nearly seven hours, the Wilkie:
sad Gibbs was declared to be the best Sewing Machine.

The importance of this trial to the public is due to
the facts that the questions derided were such as admit
of aboolute determination, and that the decisions were
approved by a multitude of disinterested witnesses.

The following is a summary of the decisions in favour
of the Witr.coi and Gum :-
1. It is the simplest
2. it. the least liable to get out of order.
3. It is the best made machine.
4. It is the cheapest.
5. It is strictly noiseless.
6. It works the easiest.
7. It works the fastest
& It cannot be turned backward.
9. It requires the least 'mechanical skill to operate it.
10. It requires the least time and instruction to learn
tons. it.
11. It I. the most certain and reliable in operation.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

I.gONOAY.--NoV,ing was apparent in the Rouse
Ibis evening to indicate that anything particular sat
on baud, for there was a very thin attendance,
and notably Earl Russell and Earl Granville were
not present. Sa.mewhet briefiy the FAO of Malmesbury
stated that the Government bad, in consonance with
the onnimand of her Majesty, resolved rat to resign,
&tot at present not to diesolve Parlieinent, but
would retain eLlicri till they eould spre al to the new
toonatituencien. Nothing was obi upon this, and the
Houma passed to ,be orders of the day. Aa soon as
these were finished. it appeared to manor to Earl Gros
that there was a Ministerial 'Fla., and he net shoot to
telk constitutionally against the course taken by
Government. To him the Lord Chancellor replie I
aomewhat generally ; and when the Doke of Somerset
asked for something opecific, the Duke of Richmond
stated pretty plainly that the threat of an immediate
dioolution would be held over Parliament if the
Coves nuient were not quit tly allowed to bold on in the
way that they wiehed. This resolve was entheeiotically
praised by Lord Feversham, and then the House
adieus oell.
l'UraDAT.—Tlae Earl of Liehfilld'a Friendly Societies'
Rill same on for second reading. The noble earl stated
that a bomber of these societies had bean disoolved,
and • vast amount of diatreas had in consequence been
occasioned throughout the country. HO bore teetionnoy
to the useful wink some friendly societies were doing,
and to the admirable
dueled, and said the opposition to his bill did not come
from awe esaieties, but from times over whieh the ,
tneanbere had not the .lightest controL He instanced
the Royal Liver, the Victoria, and others, and said the
bill woad require ell similar societies to jun.) polio's'
to every member, and 1., affad fociliti. s for ascertain-
ing thee
The Earl of Hsrrowby conailerod the bill o f nsgmen •ary,
and raid it was clearable to have a Royal Commission to
inquire into the subject. The Earl of Marnesbury
agreed in this opinion, but the bill wsa read • second
time.
THIIIIIIDAT.—A small amount of 'routine business only
was transacted, and • very early adjournment took
piece.
FIIDAT.—Tbe Peers bad rather • severe sitting. The
subject matter, introduced by Lord Lyveden, was the
conduct of the Colonial Offlos in referenee to the pro- !
conduct. of the Legislative down:okay of Victoria,
Anetraha, and their differencee, with the Conned as to !
the posing of an Appropriation Act ; beginning with
the recall of Sir Charles Darling, and ooming down to
the latest phase of the affair, namely, the attempt of
the Awnibly to votes sum of C/0,000 to Lady Darling.
There was rather a sharp tongue-fiaht, the Duke of
Argyll distinguishing himself be almost an impeachment
of the Colonial Minister; while the Marquis of Sals-
bury (who had only taken his scat on the previous
evening) signalised hia ditita in the Upper Roam by •
powerful protest sgainst • doctrine laid down as con-
stitutional by the Lord Chancellor. There was no
=Alm, only disoussaion.
