Observe the Red Seal, Pink Label and Cork Branded "Kinn • ban's LL Whisky. A good deal of excitement has prevailed at lioniton, a quiet little town situated near Exeter, during the last day or two, in consequence of the sudden illness of the Rev. Prebendary Mackarness (the rector) and his family, who, it was stated, had been poisoned. It appears that on Sunday evening last a junket formed the principal dish of supper at the rectory, which - was partaken of by the family of Prebendary Mackarness, the curate of the parish, and two servants. The rector, on the following morning, was seized with illness whilst read ing prayers at a morning service at the church, and was obliged to leave before the ceremony was finished. Miss E. .Mackarness was taken ill after break fast, and a sister, who had driven to Otters', for the family doctor, was seized in a similar manner ; as also were the Rev. Mr. Littleton and his two servants. Several of the patients have suffered severely ; and, with the exception of the rector, all were better on Thursday. No serious consequences are, how ever, apprehended; but we understand that a strict inquiry into the circumstances will be made, although no suspicion of foul play rests on•anyone. At first it was thought that there must have been something noxious in the rennet of which the junket was made ; but that has been found not to be the case, so that the cause of the poisoning remains a mystery. The remains of the junket were given to a pig, which is expected to die. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 16, 1869. FEW E .... 44 STA BIPJAD bd.

On Sunday, August Bth, in the presence of a numerous congregation, this sacrilegious scene (says the Times cor respondent) was enacted in the cathedral church of Berlin. The Rev. H. Heinrici was standing before the altar, reciting the Belief, when a young man, rising from a front seat and interrupting the clergy. man, gave him the lie, and at once discharged a pistol at his breast. The next moment he was in the hands of the sexton, and quietly suffered himself to be led away to the vestry. A portion of the congregation, seated at a dis tance, having only heard the report and seen the curling smoke, without any definite notion of what was going on, immediately began to move towards the door, and created considerable tumult; but those near the altar, who bad been witnesses of the daring attempt, retained their seats. In preserving their composure they but imitated the noble example of the clergyman whose life had just been placed in such jeopardy. The Rev. H. Heinrici was unhurt. No sooner had the trying interlude come to an end than the intended victim calmly resumed reading the Creed, and with redoubled fervour proclaimed that Belief the utterance of which had imperilled his life. After this the service was continued in accordance with the prescribed ritual. The Rev. H. Heinrici left the altar, when the Rev. Dr. Kugel ascended the pulpit and preached a sermon, in which ho introduced a passage expressive of hit thanks to God for the miraculous escape of his clerical brother. Quiet had been speedily restored, and the greater portion of the con. gregation, agitated as they were by the most powerful emotions, left the church only after the final benediction. In the meantime the criminal had been conducted by a policeman to the nearest station, and examined by a superior officer. To all the questions put to him he replied with the utmost frankness and composure- He said :—" My name is Biland. lam 19 years of age, a Protestant, and the son of a blacksmith, in the village cf Lank, county of _Lower Barniin, a few miles from Berlin. My parents sent me to a grammar-school, wishing me to become a candidate for the ministry in the Established Church. But my eyes were soon opened to the falsehood of the creed I was expected some day to teach, and my dislike was increased to disgust when I perceived that many of those professing to believe it were liars at heart. I refused to pursue a career which had become so hateful to me, and resisted all attempts of rof parents to force me to persevere. Eventually I saw myself left by them to my own devices, and began to study art— the dramatic art, I mean. I wished to become an actor, and to preach to the public in my own way ; but the religious mendacity rampant around me gave me no rest. Some I saw uttering deliberate untruths, while others, knowing them to be such, listened with contemptuous indifference. Gradually I taught myself that some striking deed was indispensable to rouse the public mind from its apathy, and chase away the mists of superstition. I, therefore, determined to seize the first favourable opportunity that offered for shooting a clergyman while in the act of uttering his accursed perjuries. I have done it. I have myself cast the ball and done my best to render the shot fatal. I am sound in body and mind, and scorn the suggestion that I have acted under the disturbing influence of temporary insanity. I perfectly knew what I was about, and am convinced there are many able to comprehend the disinte restedness of my purpose, though they may, perhaps, not approve the method chosen to compass it. My design was to shoot Mr. Heinrici, and I was prepared to pay the penalty of the deed." Such in substance was the state ment of the reckless, misguided young man. Inquiries seem folly to confirm his words. His having missed at a distance of three paces at first gave rise to the surmise that he Lad fired with blank cartridge; but it is only too true that there was a ball in the barrel. The course of the ball has been exactly traced. Passing within an inch of the clergyman's head, it penetrated the open balustrade of the gallery, in which the Dom Chor—celebrated for its vocal performances —was stationed, and grazed the cheek of one of the choristers, a boy of 12. The little fellow, although his cheek instantly began to swell, did not leave the church, but sang his allotted part to the end. The Prince Admiral Adalbert, the only member of the Royal Family present, when the service was over hastened to ex• press his sympathy to the two clergymen and the little chorister boy. Last week a young girl, in the County West meath, was stung by a wasp, and died in a few day s afterwards. Tun LlEnnnw ALPHABET.—Verse 21, chap 7, of Ezra, contains every letter of the English alphabet. It is, perhaps, not so well known that verse 8, c h a p 3 , of Zephaniah, contains every letter, including finals, of the Hebrew, as well as every vowel sound, and also the diffe. rent form of the Sheva.--jewish Chronicle. RETURN OF HER MAJESTY TO Wnipsoß.—Her Majesty, with their Royal Highnesses Prince and Prin. cess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, Princesses Louise and Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, attended by the ladies and gentlemen of the Court, is expected to leave Osborne about Wednesday or Thursday next, and return to Windsor. It is believed her Majesty will leave for Scotland at the close of the week. At Windsor Castle preparations are being made for the reception of the Royal Family. THE THREATENED STRIKE AT ST. KATRARTNE'S Docks.—The threatened strike of the labourers employed about the London and St. Katharine's Docks has been avoided. It appears that the grievance of the men was not the act of the dock directors, but of one of their super intendents. Mr. C. Gassiot informed a deputation of the labourers on Friday that the directors had no intention to deprive the men of their holidays. In making their men comfortable, they believed the company would gain in the end. The interview ended with mutual expressions of good-will. TILE LATE SIR ROBERT CLIFTON. —Whitehall, Aug. 6.—The Queen has been pleased to grant unto Henry Robert Markham, of Clifton Hall, in the county of Nottingham, Esq, her royal licence and authority that he and his issue may, in compliance with a clause contained in the last will and testament of his maternal great uncle Sir Robert Clifton, late of Clifton Hall aforesaid, Bart., deceased, take and henceforth use the surname of Clifton instead of that of Markham, and that he and they may bear the arms of Clifton quarterly with those of Markham, such arms being first duly exemplified according to the laws of arms, and recorded in the College of Arms, other wise the said royal license and permission to be void and of none effect ; and also to command that the said roya concessson and declaration be recorded in Her Majesty's C ollege of Arms.—London Gazette. THE NEW 1, sly COURTS.—Last week we printed the repor t agreed on by Mr. Lowe's Select Committee on the New Law Courts site, in which the Committee resolved in favour of Carey-street. Following the example of one or two of our contemporaries we have this week presented our readers with Mr. Lowe's own draft report, which was rejected by the committee. It is rumoured in various quarters that the "Battle of the Sites" is not yet over. The reference to a select committee was made at the instance of the Government, and it was so far unwel come to the supporters of Carey-street in that it deprived them of Sir Roundell Palmer's advocacy. The committee, however, have decided, and we cannot imagine that after this the Government will persist in their endeavours to force the Embankment site upon an unwilling majority of the public and the profession. Moreover, Mr. Lowe re cently in the House of Commons disclaimed any intention of bringing in any measure for the purchase of any fresh site. At least this is the reasonable interpretation of his reply. When asked on Tuesday whether the Government meant to take any steps during the recess, he stated on that occasion that the Government could not do any thing in the recess. As the select committee had not recommended the purchase of any fresh land no notice would be given of any bill for that purpose, and as no grant had been obtained from Parliament for the erection of the courts on either site, no steps, he said, could be taken.

Established 1848. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their Opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present Tables; and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitublo, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the.reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to Assure on the ground that, i a; ne event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurande will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espo cially commend itself; being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the sarrie time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid. bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to ho paid. Besides this imporiaut advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. The assured will thus always have the option of retain ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t , the duration of the. Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to tbo tiompany on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as ono greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally , secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. _ _ . In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Time, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this claw as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year. Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom. ' SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARDEN, Secretary. Total.' A.D. 1720.
