ILA., Mayor of Chippenharn, Wilta, to Annie only daughter of the late Joseph Dixon of Che, June the Rev.  NOTES OF THE WEE&  OUR MOTTOES FOR THE MOMENT: "Political neutrality," "A dear stage and no favour." I.—THE QUEEN was represented at a Drawing Room on Wednesday by the Princess Helena, when several of our west country ladies were presented at Court including Mrs. and Mss Aeland, Mrs. Troytre etc., Arc. Her Majesty Walks and drives in the Windsor Grounds, traits Frogmore, and seemingly goes through a daily routine, indicative of excellent health since returning from Scotland. Immediately on the dissolution of Parliament the Court will no doubt briefly return to Osborne, preparatory to its visit to Bonn in August. The Prince of Wales we perceive has announced that he has no intention of visiting Plymouth for the present, and consequently wilt not attend the Royal Agricultural Show. Fashionable life has sustained a terrible shock from the singular and lamentable fate of Lord Rivers's newly-married daughter, who, as stated in the melancholy account given below, met with her death from lightning while yet on her marriage tour, at Interlachen in Switzerland.—The weather even with ourselves has been absolutely topical, what must it not therefore have been upon the Continent where the sun's rays are always more powerful, unaubdued as they are by the expanse of water and the fresh sea breemea that surround our Wand shores. The eh ctric action caused by atinospheric aecumulations amongst the continental mountain ranges is apt also to be more sudden and severe, and such would seem to have been the effect at Interlachen. 11. —PARLIAMENT this time is passing bills or masaacreing them just as may seem more or less convenieut. Bin, as we hinted in our last, it may do either one or other without much remark, because the honourable members, like young ladies cotirting,..are for the most part " other wiee engaged.° The ttt enntittiely elections for Liskeard, and for Devonport commented on in our last have resulted in the return of Sir Arthur Buller, unopposed, for the one, and of Mr. Brassey, after a poll, for the other. In Coventry, the seat held by the late Sir Joseph Paxton, was contested and carried by Mr. Eaton, a Conservative, who has already taken the oaths and his seat. As we near the reputed day of dissolution, contests, and foreshadowings of contest, thicken and deepen. Sir Henry 'bruttenond Wolff returned to the charge and the battle was renewed in Dorchester ob Friday night, when the hon. knight for the third time publicly addressed the Constituency. Our opinion of him is that his antagonists will find in bun one of those " untiring foes that cut and (tome again," as described by Shakespeare. He Is eertainly left, so far as the putting in of fppear anew' on the part of the sitting members Is concerned, free to create an impression, and, unless we are much deceived, be is undoubtedly doing so. "Young Dorchester," in our advertising columns, ardently supports his cause, and Urges a eoali.ion 'kith Colonel Stuff.. Bat of all the silly things in the shape of att attempted squib that ever was penned—we do not say read, for to read it through, we defy the man who read from end to end the twelve books of " Paradise Lost"—the would-be retort which appears from the pen of a Dorchester Dissetitiug Deacon in the eolumna of the ffiterbortte fioUrnitl, (the adopted oraele of a pertain political back shop)—is incomparably Ineffably, and beyond precedent, the silliest. If • we were Mr. eheridan we should not suffer ourselves to ho extinguished by such a wet blanket, but would cry out at CHICO "Save us from our friends." Candidly, unless one or both of the .aitting members for Dorchester bestir themselves they will inevitably go to the wall. As we have often said and Will maintain, we take no part, we espouse no side but we are " eothine if not critical." thought is free.—Weymouth, as we stated briefly in our last, is too important a place to escape a contest ; and two Liberal eandidates have accordingly appeared in the perions of Captain Gridley and Mr. Edwards, a commercial man of the City. This might have been foreseen by Mr. Brooks and Viscount Grey de Wilton, who on Thursday night came down and entered upon their canvass, perhaps a t:day too late, and after their opponents must ,kate played sad havoc by being first in the field. Sugar, however, is an excellent cataphism ; but we are sorry to say that from all we can learn if employed to cure the wounds inflicted this time, certain disfranchisement awaits the borough. The same we have been assured will be the result at Lyme Regis. There—a third man is coming down—Brown, Jones, or Robinson—we rather think Jones (and the same, we hope, who was defeated at Coventry, as we shall then hear some good speaking.) And it has been vowed that the defeated candidate will bring his petition and consign Lyme Regis to the limbo lake with Gatton and Old Sarum. Bridport, as yet. promises to enjoy a uninamity from disturbance. The addresses of Messrs. T. A. Mitchell and D. K. Hodgson (lately governor of the Bank of England) stand forth, therefore, as models of equanimity amidst the perturbed literature of the times. The former complacently refers to a twenty-four years' lease which he has already had, and the other to an occupation of his seat since 1867 ; the one scarcely even deigns to say, what is possibly needles', that be follows the Government programme; the other enters into its sterotyped details "Civil and religious liberty ;" although he is not so green as the new Weymouth candidates show themselves in giving the full sting to their opposition of Church-rates, and to their extension of the suffrage. The latter we should think were the most unwise profession capable of being made in small p1a...44 like Weymouth and J3rideeete - restraug to Parliament.
