POOLE NOTES.  ACCORDING to a contemporary; two well-known Pbole Liberals, formerly bosom friends, are now at logger heads about a matter of some £lOO. It is a matter of not the slightest interest to the public, and I should not have noticed it here were it not that my contemporary has gone out of its why to rex I a lecture to one of them for giving his version of the matter to his friends. Those who know the two will probably agree with me that in doing so he exhibited a sagacious care for his own self-defence.  TUE NMI' LIBSR 1L CLUB is, I hear, progressmg well. There are to be two billiard tables, skittles, and other games; and in addition, in spite of the protests of the extreme teetotallers. the members will be enabled to obtain if they wish it a glass of sherry or bitter. In the eyes of those who do not allow their opinions to carry them to the outside border of bigotry this will be no deterrent to their support. A club of this kind has long been needed; the only regret is that it partakes of a party character.  IT is stated that the Duke of Marlborough is about to be married to Mrs. Sartoris, an American lady, of great personal, and pocketful, attractions. That it 70,000 for the famous " Ansidei " Raphael will come in handy.  TFIR result, in the case of the female prisoner, of the Pimlico mystery, and as such I suppose it will ever be known, when tho public became acquainted with it on Saturday evening, created considerable satisfac• Lion. The summing up of the Judge, and his severe remarks tipm the palpable attempts of the Rev. G. Dyson to save himself at any expense coincide with the general sentiment. The rev.—if he still is one— gentleman has returned to his father's house at Poole. He naturally shows traces of the ordeal throngh which he has passed, but he is by no means bashful in meeting the popular gaze. He has discarded his clergyman's garb, having, as the papers have announced, "resigned" his office, and now presents the appearance of an ordinary young labouring man in his Sunday clothes. His portraits in "the Illustrateds" give a very poor notion of him. By them he is represented as a fine, good-looking, young fellow; whereas he is small, shore, and by no means very attractive. In fact, as he paraded up and down the platform of the station on Tuesday after noon, the wonder generally expressed was " What she could have seen in him."  The Daily Telegraph of Tuesday says Mrs. Bartlett has received seventeen offers of marriage since her release. Considering she was only released on Satur• day evening, and that the Telegraph "goes to press" at two in the morning, her suitors lost no time, and the young man of that veracious paper proved pretty smart in getting hold of the particulars. The same organ of information, it may be remembered, also Informed the public that seventeen (fond of the num ber, you see) barristeis had offered to conduct the defence of Mr. Dyson for nothing. So much for Telegraphesel A writer in the Pall Mall says : The strong differences of opinion which were expressed in the comments upon the Pirnlioii Poisoning Case will now disappear. Hidden away in small type in the morning papers appears the timely letter of the foreman of the jury, which will lift off in every well-balanoed mind the horrible stigma of suspicion from the poor creature who has suffered so many agonies during the past four months. "Eleven of our number," he says, were in favour of a verdict of 'not guilty/ and a rider was added to the effect that, considering his state of health, he administered the chloroforn to himself either with a view of obtaining sleep or committing suicide. But the twelfth man would only consent to a verdict in the form in which it was given, and the other jurymen gave way." While everyone will be grateful to the foreman for unveiling the secrets of the jury box, it would surely have been a kinder and more merciful course to have made the explanation to the judge rather than somewhat tardily in the unoffloial columns of a newspaper.
