EXECUTION OF SULEIMAN DAOUD.

The Alexandria Correspondent of the Daily News
writes :

Suleiman Daoud, whet commanded the troops at
Alexandria last July, having been found guilty by the
court-martial, composed of Arab and European
officers, of burning the city, was hanged at daylight
on Saturday at the very spot at the end of the great
square where he gave orders for the burning.

The ground was guarded by native police, and the
streets were kept clear by native mounted gendarmes.
About 200 persons were present. Perfect order was
maintained.

The body remained suspended until the afternoon
with the placard attached to it—" This is the punish-
ment of theiguilty." Thousands visited the spot during
the day.
Suleiman Daoud, when asked if he had anything to
may before his death, made no reply,

The Times says :—Suleiman Bey Semi, who has just
been executed at Alexandria, on a charge of having
taken part in the destruction of that city, is the son
of the late Daoud Pasha, who was a Circassian of
high birth, Suleiman's mother being an Egyptian. Hs
wc.s about 35 years of age. He entered the Army as a
young man, having passed through the Polytechnic
School at Cairo. He served with the Egyptian con-
tingent with Yakoob Semi and Ali Pasha Fehmi,
under Prince Hassan, in the Balkan campaign of 1878,
and attained the rank of major at a comparatively early
age. Though not a prominent member of the National
Party, his sympathies were known to be with Arabi's
movement; and at the beginning of 1882 he was ap-
pointed by him to the command of the 6th Regiment of
Foot. That regiment was quartered in Alexandria on
the 11th of June last year, and took a prominent Fart in
the suppression of the riot of that day. On the occasion
of tke bombardment he served with his regiment in
defending the town, and on the retreat of the Egyptians
he and his regiment joined Toulba Pasha in the lines
of Kafrdawar. Where he remained during the cam-
paign, not being present at any of the battles fought
on the line of Lord Wolseley's march. After the fall
of Tel-el-Kebir he joined Hassan Mousse el Akkad at
Cairo, and when that town surrendered to the British
forces they fled together and took refuge in Crete,
where, in consequence of the representations made by
the Government to the Turkish authorities, they were
arrested and sent back to Cairo.

The charges on which Suleiman Semi was tried were
that he had taken a prominent part in burning the
town of Alexandria, and it seemed certain that he re-
mained in the town for some hours after the main
body of the Egyptian army had retired.

THE CROPS IN AMERICA.

The United States Department of Agriculture has
Issued a report, which states that there is an increase
in the cotton area under cultivation slightly exceeding
3 per cent. The season is from one to three weeks late
but notwithstanding various drawbacks the crop is of
fair stand, medium vitality, and unusually clear
culture. The average condition is 86 against 89 in
June last year.
The condition of the winter wheat is lower than in
May throughout the entire area, with but few excep
tions. The spring wheat area Las been increased
nearly 5 per cent. The area of barley has been in-
creased 5 per cent. The increase in the area of oats
is
4 per cent.

DEATH OF SIR ARTHUR KENNEDY.

The Colonial Office have received intelligence from
Aden of the death of Sir Arthur Edward Kennedy,
while on the voyage from Sydney to London. During
the latter years of his governorship of Queensland Sir
Arthur Kennedy has been in extremely delicate
health, and was obliged to decline several public
festivities organized in his honour immediately prior
to his departure from Brisbane owing to his inability
to bear the fatigue. His friends in the colonies will,
therefore, not be altogether unprepared for the intelli-
gence that he expired off Eden on June 3.
Sir Arthur Kennedy was educated at Trinity
College, Dublin, and after serving in the army until
1848 he resigned, to accept civil employment. During
the Irish famine he acted as inspector under Sir John
Burgoyne's Relief Commission, and subsequently as
Inspector of Poor Laws until 1851. He was shortly
afterwards appointed Governor of the Gambia, being
transferred to Sierra Leone in 1852. From 1854 to
February, 1862, he administered the Government of
Western Australia. In November, 1863, he became
Governor of Vanaouver's Island, and remained there
until 1867, when he was appointed to the West African
settlements. Five years later he proceeded to Hong
Kong, and in 1877 was transferred to Queensland. He
was returning home after completing his term of
service when he died.

THE LACROSSE PLAYERS IN

LONDON.

In London on Saturday between three and four
thousand persons visited Lord's Ground to witness
the second of the exhibition names in London between
the Canadian Amateurs and the Iroquois Indians.
The weather was pleasantly fins, and the spectators
watched the game with evident interest. •
The Canadians played a very fast game at starting,
ana for a time had matters all their own way. The
first game lasted eight minutes and a halt, the second
game three minutes, and the third twenty minutes,
all three games being won by the Canadians.
The Indians scored their first success in the fourth
game, Flying Wind sending the ball through the
posts after twenty•five minutes' play. The interval
was then taken, and, on resuming, another win was
quickly scored for the Canadians. The Indians, how-
ever, proved successful in the last two game., the
second of which occupied nearly three quarters of an
hour. The goals were scored by "Flying Wind" and
"June-stand•up." Time was then called, the Cana-
dians winning by four games to three.

COLLISION IN THE ENGLISH
CHANNEL.

A. collision occurred in the Channel on Saturday
morning between the London, Chatham, and Dover
Company's mail packet Wave and the barque Fanny,
of Nantes, bound for Stettin.—The following particu-
lars have been given :

The Wave left Calais shortly before two o'clock in
the morning with 101 passengers. There was a thick
fog, but it was otherwise fine. Every precaution was
taken on the part of the captain of the steamer ; the
engines were worked at half-speed and the whistles
were frequently used as fog-signals. When the
vessel had been about forty minutes out the Fanny
emerged from the fog at a distance of very little more
than the steamer's length. So suddenly had the
barque come ulson them that there was no time for
anything to be done to avoid the collision, but both
the captain and his crew behaved with great coolness.
The barque bore down on the steamer at amidships, the
bowsprit of the barque passing between the steamer's
funnels. In swinging aft the barque's bowsprit carried
away the after funnel, snapped off the mainmast close
to the top of the deck-cabin, through which it passed,
while the bow of the vessel swept off the two boats
in the davits and the whole of the starboard bul-
warks and stanchions from near the paddle-box
to the wheel down level with the deck. The skylight
to the after cabin was smashed in, and one of the
deck planks was punctured by the falling gear. Un-
fortunately, one of the passengers, named E. L.
Barnett, jeweller, of 64, Great Hampton-street,
Birmingham, lost his life. He was standing near the
wheel when the mainmast fell, a piece of it striking
him on the head. Death must have been almost
instantaneous. Ho was examined on board by a
medical man who happened to be crossing, and on
reaching Dover a further examination of the body
was made by Dr. Qolbeck, at the Sailors' Home.
The man at the wheel had a narrow escape. A gentle-
man named Boyd, of Paris, was struck with a piece
of spar, but was not hurt very seriously. The barque
did not seem to have sustained any injury.

CALAMITY ON THE CONGO.

Intelligence has reached Vienna to the effect that
Lieutenant KaDina, a nephew of Baron Huebner, and
formerly of the Austrian army, was accidentally
drowned in Stanley Pool, tn the River Congo,
while endeavouring to cross it in one of the frail native
craft.

Lieutenant KaDina left for Africa some time ago,
commissioned as superintendent of one of the Cengo
stations founded under the auspices of King Leopold.
He embarked on the fatal excursion accompanied by
four Zanzibar negroes, and taking with him two large
cases of provisions. the boat capsized while Lieu-
tenant Kallina was turning round to give an order to
one of the crew. It occupants were drowned with the
exception of one of the negroes, a servant of the
African explorer Lindner, and who alone survived to
tell the sad tale.

A GIFT TO THE ARCHBISHOP OF
YORK.

The Sheffield working men have just had manufae-
tured by Messrs. George Butler and Co., a remarkably
fine cabinet of cutlery for presentation to the Arch-
bishop of York. It consists of upwards of 200 pieces,
with fine ivory handles, and mounted in sterling
essayed silver. Each piece is engraved with the
Bishop's mitre. In pattern the knives are similar to
those supplied to a cabinet made some time ago by
Messrs. Butler and Co. for the Prince of Wales. In
the Archbishop's cabinet Messrs. Butler and Co. have
introduced for the first time a game-eating knife,
having on the blade an engraving of a covey of birds.
At present the best part of a grouse or other game.
bird has to be left; but with the new knife, which is
specially shaped for game purposes, every part of the
bird can be thoroughly got at.
The presentation was made on Tuesday evening,
when the Archbishop, in acknowledging the gift, said
the working men were the best listeners he ever had ;
it was impossible to send them to sleep. It would be
possible to select an audience recruited from very
serene regions who would get very tranquil after a
sermon of twenty minutes; but the working men
always listened attentively, yet he had never flattered
them. The more strongly he spoke about the peculiar
weaknesses that beset them so much the better did
they receive his words. Sheffield had spent nearly
£400,000 on Church work. It was, therefore, of the
deepest importance that they should not be governed
by thoughtless, uneducated, careless, people. He
denied that scepticism was spreading amongst the
wanking men.

A RECENT ADDITION TO THE NAVY.

The Calypso, the latest addition to our navy,
belongs to a class of vessels which might vie in beauty
with the smart frigates and corvettes of the days of
Nelson and Collingwood, to which, indeed, in external
appearance, they bear some resemblance (remarks the
St. James's Gazette). These cruisers are built of steel
sheathed in 'wood, and instead of the two or four
gigantic guns of the ironclad, they carry twelve
or sixteen breech•loaders of moderate calibre.
These vessels are emphatically cruisers, built to
meet the requirements of this particular class of
service. In these fast and beautiful ships, made
for sailing as well as fighting, and intended to rely
on their canvas as well as their screw, there will be
much more room for the display of some of the most
useful qualities of the sailor—seamanship, for instance
—than in boxes of machinery like the Thunderer,
manned chiefly by artificers and stokers. It is notice-
able, by the way, that the Calypso, though a com-
paratively small vessel of not much more than 2,000
tons displacement, will take nearly as large a crew as
some of the ironclads three or four times her size.

A ROYAL REGATTA,

The Vienna Correspondent of the Standard writes :
An interesting regatta took glace on Friday in last
week on a lake in Luxembourg, where the Austrian
Crown Prince and Princess are now residing. The
competing oarsmen were the Crown Prince, the Arch-
dukes Johann, Franz, and Otto, and Prince Philip of
Coburg, whose wife, together with her sister the
Crown Princess Stephanie, acted as umpires and dis-
tributed the prizes, which consisted of bouquets and
laurel branches. The boats started at four in the
afternoon, and the regatta lasted over an hour,
when the ladies professed themselves unable to dis-
tinguish the real winner, and gave prizes to all the
competitors.

LORD ROSEBERY'S RESIGNATION.

Mr. E. W. Hamilton, secretary to Mr. Gladstone,
has sent the following letter to Mr. Officer, S.S C.,
Edinburgh, agent of the Convention of Royal and Par-
liamentary Burghs of Scotland, in acknowledgment of
a communication from that body :
" Downing-street, June 8, 1883.

"Sir—Mr. Gladstone is obliged to you for the corn-
munication with which you have favoured him on be-
half of the Convention of the Royal and Parliamentary
Burghs of Scotland. He need hardly say that he fully
shares the regret expressed in the resolution in regard
to the resignation of Lord Rosebery. It is Mr. Glad-
stone',, hopo that the loss which this event has caused
to Scotland and her Majesty's Government may only
be temporary. With respect to the memorial of the
Convention representing the importance of equalising
the burgh and county franchise, I am directed to in-
form you that it is the confident hope of the Govern-
ment that this question will be dealt with by the pre-
sent Parliament.—l am, &c., "E. W. HAMILTON.

Lord Rosebery has written a letter to the agent of
the Convention of Royal and Parliamentary Burghs
of Scotland, acknowledging the resolution expressing
regret at his lordship's resignation, "The most
precious reward," he says, "that a man can hope for
in public life is the friendly recognition of his fellow-

countrymen, I only wish I deserved more what you
have conveyed to me from your ancient and repre-
sentative body. I entered upon office in the hope of
being of service, und I have left for the same reason."

ROYAL PICNIC AT VIRGINIA WATER,

The storm which prevailed in the neighbourhood of
Windsor on Saturday evening was nearly the means
of preventing the usual picnic at the end of the Ascot
week which the Prince and Princess had arranged to
hold on Virginia Water. A number of spectators had
assembled in the course of the afternoon in the hope
of seeing the Royal party go out upon the lakes, but
most of these, after waiting for some time, were driven
away by the heavy rain. When the rain ceased, the
velocipedes at the landing were got ready and the skiffs
were lauched.

The Princess of Wales, who was one of the first to
leave the shore, went out in a pair•oared skiff, and on
raising some of the baited floats, with the assistance of
the Queen's fisherman, brought up three fine large
Jack.
Princess Louise, 'Victoria, and Maud and Princes
Albert Victor and George made excursions upon the
velocipede., and the Prince of Wales, who wore a light
grey boating costume and red cap, sculled out in a
skiff, the other boats being occupied by the guests of
their Royal Highnesses,
By the time the Prince and Princess of Wales and
their party had reached the Wheatsheaf end of the
Virginia Water a dense white mist began to rise from
the lake and its shores, almost obscuring the boats
from the view of the spectator., and ultimately
causing their Royal Highnesses to land earlier than
was intended.

A GALLANT ACT.

Advice s received from Aden state that the Naval
Commander-in-Chief on the East Indian station has
recommended Lieutenant Frank H. Henderson, senior
lieutenant of the Eclipse, to the Admiralty for tha
Royal Humane Society's medal, in recognition of his
gallant conduct in saving the life of a seaman.

The Eclipse is at present stationed at Aden as senior
offioer's ship of that division, where she is awaiting
her orders for England. While off Thumb, in the
river Euphrates, an ordinary seaman fell overboard
from aloft, and although the tide was running strong
from four to five knots at the time, Lieut. Henderson,
without waiting to divest himself of his clothing,
jumped off the poop, and at great risk to himself
susceeded after much trouble in saving the man's life.

VIOLENT STORMS IN PRANCE.

In different parts of France rain and hailstorms of
tin most violent deseription have reoently been ex.
perieneed. At Bordeaux alone as much as eight
centimitree of rain fell in about an hour, being eight
or nine times more than generally falls there during a
whole year. The streets were &Banged into rivers and
all trellis was stopped. Amiens also was visited by a
terrific storm, accompanied by almost incessant
thunder and torrents sof rain. At Angers a severe
hailstorm did great damage, and at one spot a mass of
collected hail-stones was found measuring not less than
a cubic metre.

The cattle trade was quiet, and there was no particular
variation. The weather being colder was mare favourable,
but the dead meat market was inactive. The supplies at
beasts from our own grazing districts were only moderate,
and those from Scotland limited. Toe demand was slow at
about late rates. The best Scots and crosses realised 6s 84.
to 6s Pd per 81b. About an average number of beasts
was on the foreign side of the market. There wore
about 450 Canadian, besides Swedish and Danish. With a
quiet trade prices were about the sa.me. The sheep pens
were, as usual, sparingly stocked. There was a dill
market, at previous currencies. The best Downs and half-
breds sold at 6s 6d to 6is id per Sib. Lambs were inactive, at
713 id to as 8d per 81b. Calves and pigs sold at late rates.
At Deptford there were about 1,000 baasts, and 12,000 sheep
and lambs. Coarse and inferior beasts, 46 4d to 4s $4.

HARVEST PROSPECTS ON THE
CONTINENT.

The reports from the Continent of the prospects of
the harvest are good (says the St. James's Gazette). In
France particularly all the crops promise well. Wheat
is said to Look better than it has done for many years
past ; and if the harvest•time is fine, it is probable
that France will have a surplus to export, instead of
having to import, as she has had to do for many years
past. From the Danubian countries, from Hungary,
and from Russia the reports are also favourable ; and
though the reports from Germany ars not quite so
good, yet the crop is reported not to be unfavourable.
In France, again, the prospects of the wine crop are
exceedingly good. The ravages of the phylloxera still
continue, and the March frosts did damage; but since
then the weather has been highly favourable; and it is
said that taking the whole of France generally, the
prospects are better than for many years past. It
seems probable, then, that the agricultural depression
which has lasted so long is drawing to a close.

BOARD.

An adjourned Meeting of the Brierley Hill Local
Board was held in the 'Boardroom, at the Town

Lords Justices of Appeal in the case of "Pearsall v
the Local Board," and that the clerk be instructed
to enter into the neceFsary securities and bonds,"—.
Mr. W. MacMillan seconded.—There were two

cloing the litigation and paying the damages and
costs, and the other for adjourning the meeting for
a few days with a view to a compromise being made

THE FISHERIES EXHIBITION.

On Saturday afternoon, Sir Ambro3e Shea, the
commissioner for Newfoundland, entertained at lun-
cheon Mr. E. Birkbeck, M.P., the chairman and
general manager, the executive committee, and the
British, colonial, and foreign commissioners. ,

The luncheon consisted almost entirely of New-
foundland fish, and amongst the dishes were no less
than five different preparations of cod, which were
pronounced by all to be exceptionally delicious,
illustrating the variety of culinary purposes to which
the Newfoundland cod, one of the cheapest articles
in the fish market, can be applied. Notably popular
was the well-known Spanish Lenten dish called
bacaldo, or codfish with a rich sauce made with
butter, vegetables, and tomatoes, which is to be
had in every little Spanish posada on Fridays and
Saturdays in Lent and Advent. The "codfish
balls," light as feathers, which are a standing breakfast
dish throughout the United States, were also greatly
relished, and the French preparation of codfish and egg
sauce, won favour with many of the guests, who had
lover tasted it before, and were surprised to learn that
it is so inexpensive as to be given every Friday in
France and Italy in all schools and colleges, and also
to the soldiers. The prominence of codfish at this
essentially Newfoundland luncheon was not accidental,
but the result of the earnest desire of the commissioner
o popularise this cheap and excellent article.

The number of visitors at the Fisheries Exhibition
on Saturday v. as 15,547, making a total for last week
of 73,424. The total number from the opening of the
Exhibition has been 364,545.

A LETTER FROM THE CLAIMANT.

Mr. East has received a letter written by the
Claimant in the convict prison at Portsmouth. The
writer asks that Mr. East will submit to Mr. Chamber-
lain, as an advocate of the rights of thevpeople, that in
September, 1877, when the Claimant was visited at
Dartmoor Prison by Lord Rivers, Mr. Onslow, and
Mr. East, the latter submitted a photograph which
the writer at once identified as that of Arthur Orton ;
that certain facile corroborated this, and the Claimant
urges that Mr. Chamberlain should be made fully

THE LAND-TAX.

Mr. H. H. Fowler, M.P., has introduced a Bill pro-
viding the same appeal with regard to land-tax as is
given by the 59th section of the Act of 1:-80 with re-
gard to income-tax and inhabited house duty. Im-
mediately on the determination of an appeal under the
Land-tax Acts by any Commissioners of Land-tax,
either party to the appeal may, according to the Bill,
declare to the Commissioners his dissatisfaction with
the decision as being errroneous in point of law. The
Commissioners can then, within 21 days, be required
to state a case for the opinion of the High Court of
Justice. From the High Court's decision a further
appeal is to lie to the Court of Appeal, and thence to
the House of Lords.

The Bill is not intended to interfere with any right
of appeal that now exists under certain Land-tax Acts
of 1831 or 1838.

CUTTINGS FROM AMERICAN PAPERS.

I hate grammar awful," remarked a young lady to
whom something had been said regarding that study.
"Do you?" replied an elderly matron; "no doubt
you will like it better when you become acquainted
with it."

- "So Jack has strained himself training for the
double scull race ? " said s Harvard boy to his chum
on the float. "Yes, Jack never was very strong."
"And now," chimed in the first speaker, "now he
row-bust'.
Her father stood at the gate talking with a gentle-
man, and the seven-year-old miss threw out several
hints about supper being ready without success. At
length, anxious and impatient, she called out from the
side stoop:—' Papa, if you don't come right into
supper the ice cream will all get cold "
It took the doctors two hours to get a billiard ball
out of the mouth of a Chicago belle. She had been
watching an amateur game and recklessly smiled just
as a crack shot wag made.

A novel idea -Lia-i-i occurred to a Philadelphia trades-
man, who advertiser that be is able to sell cheaper
than others because he is a bachelor without encum-
brances, and does not want the profits of a married
man with a large family.
A woman recently entered a store in Connecticut,
and sat dawn in front of an iron safe to warm her
feet. After sitting some twenty or thirty minutes,
she remarked that she "never liked thew kind of
stoves—they don't throw out scarcely any heat, those
gas burners don't.

THE KHEDIVE AT ALEXANDRIA.

Writing from Alexandria on Sunday, the corres-
pondent of the Daily News says :
The Khedive arrived here from Cairo this morning,
and took up his summer residence at the Raseltin
palace. Unusual preparations had been made to give
his Highness a warm welcome. The railway station
and the private houses were decorated. General Earle
and his staff, with 200 of the Khedive's body guard
and the mounted gendarmes, received his Highness
at the station, where all the high offioers of State
and a large number of bankers, merchants, and
notables of every nationality had assembled. Salutes
were fired from the fort overlooking the railway, from
the forts of Raseltin, and from the men-of-war in the
harbour, where every ship made a fine display of
bunting. In the afternoon Ate Khedive held a recep-
tion at the Palace from three to seven o'clock. It
was more numerously attended than I ever remember.
The whole of the English residents were present. The
Khedive received everyone with his usual frank and
genial manner.

The one accepted was £14,197. Some-comm. uni-

of the mode of election. Mr. Rylandshad introduced
a bill to take the election of Guardians by ballot,
but there was not the least chance of its being read
a s: cowl time this session.
