STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
There was a large amount of business done in the
yarn market yesterday, . and prices show a decided ten-
dency to advance, especially in the lower numbers of
mule yarn, and in water twist, which is ver3 scarce. Ih
goods, too, the demand has been extensive ; but yei-
terday manufacturers were asking higher prices, which
somewhat checked business. The market, however,
continues very buoyant.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY.—There has
been a very brisk demand for flannels to-day, and in
many instances, the manufacturer has obtained a small
advance in price. In wool there has been a fair business
doing, with ready sales at former prices.

RAILWAY FROM SOUTHAMPTON TO DORCHESTER.
—A meeting was held in the Town-hail, in Dorchester,
on Friday, of those persons who were favourable to what
has been termed the coast line. It was very nume-
rously and most respectably' attended. The Mayor of
Dorchester was in the chair. The report of the committee,
containing the reports of Captain Moorsom and Mr. Pale,
was read. Captain Moorsom stated much in favour of that
line to pass b) Redbrook, Lyndhurst, Ringwood, Wila;
borne, Poole, and Wareham, and so to Dorchester, and
from Dorchester, by atmospheric traction, over the hills
to Weymouth. The expenses of the line between South-
ampton and Dorchester would be 450,0001., and Dor-
chester to Weymeuth 104,0002 more. Mr. Pare's
report stated that the traffic would amount to
48,7521., • and that the profit would be 6i per cent.
The committee strongly recommended the adop-
tion of this line, and stated that they believed they should
meet will-, the co operation of the South-Western Con?'
pany. Lord Worsley moved the adoption of the report.
It was very desirable that this county should have the
`advantage of railway communication with London and
the south-eastern parts of England. It was pf
national importance that there should be a railway
along the coast, in case of war, or of vessels corO-
mitting depredations. Captain Garland seconded the
resolution. A long discussion then took place, as to
whether it could not go from Wareham to Weymouth,
and so on to Bridport and Exeter, avoiding Dorchester,
and as to whether it could not be palled the Southamr
ton, Dorchester, and Weymouth Railroad. Mr. Ilo4'
ding dreir attention to the line from Salisbury, through,
Shaftesbury, to Dorchester. Ultithately, the name 01
the line was settled to be Southampton and Dorchester,
and the resolution was carried unanimously. A vote of
thanks was passed to the Committee and the Mayor.
PUSEYITE PERSECUTION OF WESLEYANS.—A sad
scene has just taken place at Launton, which will be
long remembered. A woman of the name of Rebecca
Sarin died ; 'she had been thirteen years a consistent
member of the Wesleyan church in that village.
Deceased, on her death-bed, desired that she might
be buried by the side of other members of the
family, in the churchyard. On her wishes being
made known to the Rev. T. W. Allies, the incunr
bent of the place, after her death, he not onlY,
refused to allow her to be interred where she ha°,
desired, and where there was plenty of room, but refuse",
to bury her under any circumstances, on the ground °'
her being a Dissenter. Mr. Allies is a disciple of Dr.
Pusey. , It was proved to the Rev. Gentleman that
the deceased had been baptised at that church' ; stall
he declared that no Dissenter should mingle with
his Church people. On the deceased's friends'
re-
monstrating with him, and giving him to understand that
he was bound to bury her, he said it should be at the extra'
mity of the churchyard, where he had a place for that
sort. The time for burial was near at hand, still Mr: Allies
said she should not be buried among his people. The
deceased's friends now went to the parish clerk and pat
him his fees for breaking the ground; this done, they
parties to dig a grave on the spot where deceased he
wished to lie. Mr. Allies set men to work todig a grave
at the extremity of the churchyard for the corpse. The
village was now all confusion, and hundreds were g
thered to the spot ; Mr. Allies'ffriends went for the Dl'
tester police, but they declined to interfere. The Be.'
Gentleman endeavoured to prevent the grave being dug,
but could not, nearly all appearing against him; he seat
for the local constables, they came, and were called on bf
the friends of the deceased to do their best to preserve
the peace. The graves were dug, the corpse was brough;
to the churchyard, and there remained for some time.
Mr. Allies was asked to come and officiate. Ile said'
" Do what, you like with it;" and the coffin was brought
to the grave which was dug by the friends, and by then
interred, singing the hymn in the 55th page of the
Wesleyan hymn-book. Mr. Allies now put on his soy
plice, and went to the grave which he had caused to be
dug, his footman acting as clerk, and then over the
" tenantless " grave read the burial service.—Oxford
Chrorticle.

ESCAPE.—A party of the officers of
the 44th Regiment visited the Milehouse races in a car-
riage and four, having hired a stage coach for the pur-
pose from Weakley's Hotel, Captain Pulliston actang
as coachman, and one of the other officers filling the
subaltern post of guard. On leaving the ground in the
evening, the inside of the coach was devoted to the
sergeants ; the back part to as many of the soldiers as
could
.posssibly find a resting place, or a bar to hang on
at ; while the officers occupied the front part of the
carriage. Captain Pnlliston taking the reins. From
the , way in which the vehicle was loaded, there
not being many less than forty persons inside
and out, it was with some difficulty the car
tinge was started fr, im the field but once
moiled, off they went over the hill to Swilly at ",
dashing pace—the Captain keeping the road Yee)
cleverly. All prudence, however, was evidently /;.-
peeted to be in the possession of whatever other pall
was on the road. As might have been anticipated sae':
a freak as this could hardly be expected to end without
some accident—the party passed through the village i
Stoke and the more difficult part of their homewar"
course in safety, but in turning rather too sharply the
corner of the road .to come into town by the drawbridge'
at the north-eastern barrier, the coach lurched, and the
weight of the load being thrown on one side, doh 1,1
went. The horses.ran off with the pole, and the driver 0-0;:j
his friends were strewed about the road in a most feat,"
plight, and-a long list of killed and wounded was Ole'
cipated by the witnesses of the accident, but multi
lously all escaped with some severe bruises, except
an unfortunate fellow named Smith, a hersekeerer
in the employ of the owner of the horses, who fell
under the vehicle and received some severe contusions;
The poor fellow was taken to the infirmary of 110
workhouse, and still lies in a dangerous state. 'I",
horses proceeded . towards the town, but in passini;
over the drawbridge one of them fell, and his leg
became entangled with the chains so firmly that it r!:
quired a great number of persons and powerful levers "
extricate them. This accident brought the other horses
to a halt,
,or further and serious damage might hale°
resulted in their passing through the streets. The hor:a
that fell ran the pole into his breast, and is not expO
to live, while the damage to the carriage is estimated •
not less than 501,--Deronport Telegraph.
UNPRECEDENTED SPEED.—The Eclipse steamer'
on the 21st instant, performed the voyage from Blackwell tosr
Dover in five hours and twenty-five minutes, being an hogs than the shortest passage ever made by any outio
steamer between the two ports. She was off Margate ~,,
three hours and forty. four minutes froeßlackwall, or twei•
minutes less than the same distance was ever done in before'
