A CENTENARY SERVICE.

Ln London, on Monday night, the hundredth anni
vereary of the opening ot thc Surrey Chapel, of which
Rowland Hill was minister, was celebrated in Carist
Church by a sermon by the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, who
pleAchtd a cbsracteristic discourse from the words
"Praise the Lord, oh my soul." In urging the
necessity of earnestness in religion, he said that
Rowland Hill was called eccentric because he was real,
and because he had used his God-given humour in
God's service.

The Rev. Newman Hall stated that Rowland Hill
had preached the first sermon in Surrey Chapel one
hundred years ago from the words, "We preach Christ
crucified."

THE CHOLERA.

Earl Granville, replying to the Earl of Wemyss, admitted
that the subject of the prevention of the spread of cholera
from Egypt to this country was one of the greatest import-
ance, demanding the immediate attention of her
Majesty's Government. Great energy had been displayed
117 the Egyptian Government in isolating the districts
Where the cholera prevailed, and the English military
authorities had been enjoined by telegram to take the
niost stringent precautions for the protection of our own
troops, but there was reason to believe that the instructions
ad been anticipated. The noble earl read a letter from Sir
'T • Gull, in which he observed that the reported outbreaks
Were local and sudden, and that at present we might expect
Lt Would subside and not become epidemic.

The Lunatic Poor (Ireland) Bill was read a second time;
and several other measures having been advanced a stage,
their lordships rose at five minutes past seven o'clock.

In the Housr or COMMONS, at the morning sitting, in
answer to a question from Sir E. Watkiu, Lord E.
Fitzmaurice said that no proposals had been made to hold
an international confaence on the subject of quarantine.

SCENE IN A POLICE- COURT.

In London, the other day, at the Marlborough.
street Police-court, an elderly woman was charged
before Mr. Mansfield with being drunk and disorderly
in St. James's-street the previous night. Charles
Norman, police-constable 209 I), gave evidence to
the effect that be found the prisoner drunk and dis-
orderly, and he took her into custody. It appearing
that the prisoner had several times been charged with
a similar offence, Mr. Mansfield fined her 405., with
the alternative of a month's imprisonment. The
prisoner no sooner heard the sentence passed upon
her than she took from her pocket a glass bottle,
and with great force hurled it at Mr. Mansfield,
making a straight aim towards his head. The
bottle, however, being thrown too low was shattered
to pieces agalno the Chief Clerk's desk, and scattered
in all directions, such being the violence with which
it wag thrown that an inkstand was smashed, and thus
fortunately Mr. Mansfield escaped. Had the bottle
been thrown a little higher there is no doubt that Mr.
Mansfield would have been dangerously injured.

-
The prisoner said the magistrate could do what he
liked with her, and could give her six months with
hard labour if he liked.

Mr. Mansfield withdrew his previous decision, and
remanded the prisoner for a week.

ROYAL VISIT TO THE TOWER OF
LONDON.
_ _

-- - .
The Tower of London was relieved of its ordinary
monotony on TrTsday by a visit from the Duke of
Connaught. .
Royal Highness had lately been
His
appointed Colonel iChief of the Scots Gnards, and on
Tuesday morning he inspected the lit Battalion at the
Tower, which the regiment is now garrisoning, prior, it is
presumed, to his depirtur!, for India. He had inspected
the 2nd Battalion at Wellington Barracks earlier in the
morning. He arrived 14 noon punctually. An inspec-
tion of the regiment in "open order" took place.
His Royal Highness then Failed the officers to the
front and shook hands heartily with each of them. A
pleasing feature of the occasion was the presence of a
hardy old warrior, Major M'Blaine, who marched
past the Qieen in 1854 before departing for the
Crimea, and who, having surmounted all the dangers
of that campaign, livei to fight under the command of
his Royal Highness himself in Egypt. The Duchess
arrived an hour later, and during a luncheon provided
by the officers of the battalion the band of the regis
ment played a selection of music.

In London, on Tuesday, Dr; Westcott held an
inquest on the body of a man named Ambrose Bolam,
who was found by a workman on Saturday morning
hanging to the bough of a tree in Regent's-park, and
quite dead. The deceased had managed t ) suspend
himself by standing on a seat which was under the tree.
On a piece of paper found in his pocket he had written,
"My head is so bad," with his name and address.
The Jury returned a verdict of suicide while of unsound
.a-snind.

THE ELECTRICAL EXHIBITION IN

VIENNA.

The Vienna correspondent of the Daily New:,
writing on Sunday, says :

_
Yesterday and to-day, trials were made with
Siemens and Halske's Electric Railway. It proves
decidedly the greatest success of all the objects con-
nected with the Electrical Exhibition. Passing through
the delightful park of the Prater, it traverses nearly a
mile in three minutes. Sir William Siemens did the
honours, and told his guests that except the high level
railway in Berlin this was the only line of the kind
in Europe. In September he will open six miles
a an electric railway in Ireland, and afterwards
another six miles on to the Giants' Causeway. This
railway will be inexpensive, because the electric
current is worked by waterfalls, whilst the Yiel-na
railway requires a steam-engine of fifty-horse power.
The current is inducted into the rails, which are
isolated by sleepers lying above the ground. The
railway creates much interest among the public at
large, which cheers the train as it passes along, and
never tires of trying the electric current by touching
both the rails, Hopes are expressed on all sides that
this railway will not disappear with the Exhibition in
the autumn.

The Vienna Correspondent of the Standard, writing
on Sunday, says
The Emperor Francis Joseph on his first visit to
the Electrical Exhibition, last night, received a great
ovation from the large and select crowd which had
gathered in the Rotunda on the occasion. The number
of persons present was upwards of fifteen thousand,

and his Majesty's appearance was the signal for an
outburst of enthusiastic cheering in all parts of the
vast building. The Emperor expressed himself highly
gratified at the magnificent display of electric lights
and apparatus of all kinds and descriptions. He con-
versed with a number of the exhibitors, and particu-
larly with the English Commissioners, Sir W. Siemens
and Sir F. Abel.

Sir William Siemens to•day opened the series of
lectures in connection with the Exhibition with an
address in the theatre of the Rotunda. The subject
on which he spoke was the sun, its temperature, light,
and radiation, and particularly the electric measure-
ment of the sun's heat. Most of the facts have been
already laid before the Royal Society of London and
the French Acad4mie. Sir William comes to the
conclusion that the temperature of the sun is about
two thousand eight hundred degrees, according to the
Celsius scale, which is about the same as that of a
strong arc light. The lecture, which lasted just all
hour, was loudly applauded by a fashionable audience,
which filled every seat of the theatre.

SUPPOSED DISASTERS AT SEA.

The captain of the barque Hindost an, which arrived
in Aberdeen on Monday from Lola, Galt of Bothnia,
reports that on his passage out he passed two derelict
vessel'', bottom up, in the North Sea. The first craft
was passed by the Hindostan on the 4th of July, 160
miles W.N.W. from the Naze of Norway. Captain
M'Pherson steered up to within a few yards of the
ship, but was unable to make out her nationality or
name, as her nameboard was under water. She ap-
peared to be a vessel of from 180 to 200 ton burden. The
hulk seemed to be in a good state of preservation ;
her rudder was unshipped. About a week afterwards
Capt. M'Pherson passed a vessel N.W. from Holtnan,
J utlind. She appeared to be a ship of from 500 to
600 tone, and she was deeper in the water than the
other vessel. Neither of the vessels bore marks of
having come into collision, and Captain M'Pherson is
of opinion that the vessels had been struck by a gale,
and, heeling over, had been unable to right them-
selves, in consequence, perhaps, of heavy deck cargoes
or the shifting of the ballast. As no intelligence has
been received of any crews having been picked up, it
is conjectured that the men who manned the ill-fated
craft must have perished. The vessels betwben them
must have carried about thirty men.

THE FISHERIES EXHIBITION.

A meeting of the General Committee of the
Fisheries Exhibition was held on Tuesday, Mr. Blrk-
beck, M.P., presiding.
The Executive Committee reported the details of
the success of the Exhibition up to the present time.
The Chairman expressed the opinion that the Exhihi-
tion should continue open as long as visitors came to
it in large numbers; and the Committee left the de-
cision as to the closing in the hands of the Executive.
In respect to the disposition of the buildings, a pro.
posal was mooted for holding exhibitions ha them for
the next three years; and it was stated that a de-
termination had been arrived at to hold next year an
international exhibition of horticulture, floriculture,
and forestry.

A model steamship, made by an inmate of the
Earlswood Asylum, near Redh3ll, is now on exhibi•
tion at the Fisheries Exhibition. It has been named
by him the Great Eastern, but it does not profess
to be an exact model of the well•known steamer
of that name, It is 10ft, long, has six mats
and four tunneler, and is a marvellous illustra-
tration of the mechanical genius of the palent
who made it. He is forty-tive years of age, and
is still an inmate of the asylum, where many other
examples of his wonderful abilities are to be seen.
He is an excellent cabinetrruker, the case in which
the model stands having been also made entirely by
himself. He has been at Earlswood Asylum since the
year 1351, and was previously at Essex Hall Asylum,
Colchester, when that institution belonged to the
Earlswood Board of Management. He is also a good
draughtsman, especially as a copyist.

the heavy branches the girder and angle plat,t manu-
faturers are the most )usi:y employed. B,amp-

while tin-plates are in request on bilalf of foreign

iron made from local ores going off very Quietly, the
med;um qualities continue in most favour, Iron-
stone is satisfactorily inquired after and there is a
better demand for forge coal.

BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.

The iron market to-day was characterised by
a considerable amount of dulness, and there was
comparatively little doing. '1 he att eidim o f
manufacturers and buyers was exceptionally meagre,
even for the holiday season. There wits a weaken-
ing tendency all round, and this was particularly
noticeable with regart t finished iron, which in
some instances was purchased, though in limited
quantities, at slightly reduced rates as compared
with last week. There was, however, a steady
inquiry for unmarked bars, the prices for which
were firm, ranging from .26 5s to £6 7s Gd per ton.
For boiler plates there was scarcely any demand,
and the very few transactions that did placa were
of an exceedingly trifling character. Common sheets
were not quite so firm as liey have been during the
past few weeks, .28 being the nominal price for
singles. Stamping sheets were in less deman I for
the home market. The pig iron market wai much
weaker, and envill makers have Ltd to submit to a
slight reduction, tett the princi tat houses strictly
adt ered to the rates which ruled at the qua,terly
meeting. Derby hire and Nerthaniptonenire de-
se, ipions were in most detain!. The coal trade
was quiet.

THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE IN
AMERICA.

An :informal dinnor was given by Mr. Eliot F.
Shepard in New York on Aug. 24, in order to intro-
duce ba Lord Coleridge a number of gentlemen.

Most of the newspapers publish articles expressing
appreciation of the distinguished visitor's cbaracter
and reputation. The New York Iltrald says :

"Lord Chief Justice Coleridge will not find himself
a stranger nor among strangers. Not only has his
general fame as advocate, orator, jurist, and Judge
preceeded him to this country, but he will everywhere
meet professional fellow-workers, whose business it
has been to study his judicial opinions, and whose
labours on the Bench or achievements at the Bar have
In turn made their names familiar to him. Hence
the greeting which will be extended to him at every
point by his profeseional brethren will be a cordial
welcome of sincere interest and esteem, rather than
the merely formal reception due to the Lord Chief
Justice of England."

The New York Times says :—" The visit of the Lord
Chief Justice of England to this country is an event,
the significance of which Americans in general will no
doubt take pas to commemorate, although Lord
Coleridge is specifically the guest of the Bar Association
of this State,"

The American Bar Assoniation in session at Saratoga
has unanimously adopted resolutions offering a cordial
welcome to Lord Coleridge.

THE LIVERPOOL DYNAMITE CASE.

Befoi the Liverpool Stipendiary, on Tuesday,
James ArDermott, arrested three weeks ago on
hoard the steamer City of Montreal, on its arrival in
Liverpool from New York, was charged on remand
with being concerned with the four men sentenced
at the Liverpool Asbizes to penal servitude for life for
participation in the dynamite conspiracy.
Evidence was given on a previous occasion connect-
ing the prisoner with Dalton.

Mr. Marks, the prosecuting solicitor, said that,
since the prisoner was last before the Court, his cloth-
ing had been examined, and, stitched up in the collar
of a dress coat, a card was found, which proved to be
the address card of "Mr. 51`Dermott, Brooklyn, N.Y."
On the other side was "Henry Dalton, care of James
O'Connor, 2, Eden-place, Fulharn•road, Chelsea,"
The card was an introduction of M'Dermott to Dalton,
and was signed by T. Featherstone, one of the men
who was arrested in Cork. On the prisoner was also
found a piece of paper of the size of an address card,
with the writing in ink, "Dear Sir Knight—l shall
have manuscript ready for you when you call.—
James Stephens." In addition to these was an address
card. On one side was the printing, "John
M'Grouty, billiards and bowling, 196, Montague•atreet,
Brooklyn, New York, next door to the Academy of
Music," and on the reverse was written in blue pencil,
"James, I caller' in this morning to bid you good. bye,
but be a good boy, and tell the boys over I will do all
I can to help them to strike down the common enemy.
—O'Donovan Rostra."

The prisoner was.further remanded for a week.

THE ATTACK ON SINKAT BY THE
BEDOUINS.

The Correspondent of the Daily News, writing from
Suez on Aug. 20, says:—

The Bedouins who recently attacked Sinkat appear
to have been two thou Sand strong. They were insti•
gated by emissaries from Mahomet Achmet, the
Sinkat is a place on the mountains about 2,000
feet above the level of the sea, and fifty miles from
Souakin. The chiefs own allegiance to the Egyptian
Government, and will be held answerable. It
was one of these that escorted General Hicks's
officers with a bodyguard from Anab. Sinkat is used
as a sanatarium during summer by the Munn'man
population of Souakin, who send their wives and
children there, and at present great alarm is expressed
as to their safety. It will be a most serious matter if
the road to Khartoum is blocked by predatory maraud-
ing Arab tribes. This is the only practicable route to
the south of the Soudan, and by it Government stores
and supplies arc continually going, as well as rein-
forcements.

The Bashi-bazouks despatched from Cario to rein-
force General Hicks have to be sent throua the
Souakin desert in deta :hments owing to the difficulty
of obtaining water. When about as far as that part of
tha route which is in line with Sinkat the last batch
found themselves deserted by their camel drivers, who
it is said, went off with their camels. This they could
easily do. The camels are turned out to get a
scanty meal on shrubs, dry stalks, or whatever
they can find, at the end of a day's march, and
they could easily without suspicion drive them off
and not return again. These soldiers are returning to
Souakin as beat they can. They will there help to
assist in its defence if the town is attacked, which I
think improbable. A gentleman, however, who
arrived here by mail steamer on Saturday says the
European p.)pulation are in great trepidation, the
Gfeeks going to the Governor and requesting arms.

THE PARCEL POST.

The Postmaster-General has written to the First
Commissioner of Works to request him to convey to
the officers and surveyors of the Office of Works his
thanks for their cordial co-operation in establishing
the Parcel Post, and for their assietance in providing
ti,b,p additional accommodation and appliances neces•
eiTY for the new service. The Crown post-offices
throughout the country have been adapted for the
purpose, and upwards of 200 post-offices have been
considerably enlarged during the last few months.

It is stated that the Postmaster• General has so far
relaxed the regulations affecting rural postmen as to
permit light packets of medicine being oonveyed by
carriers in the country, provided that this does not
interfere in any way with the due performance of the
mail service, in which case, or in the event of the pH.
vilege being abused, it will be at ono a withdrawn.
The Department advises the posting of perishable
articles, su, h as fish and game, at the end of the week.
in sufficient time to admit of their being delivered,
when possible, in the course of Saturday.

FATAL COLLISION OFF USHANT.

The German steamer Palam*, 814 tons, Captain
Don, from Hamburg with a general cargo, arrived at
Falmouth on Sunday with her bow knocked in and
fore compartment full of water, having, during &defies
fog at four p.m. on Saturday, been in collision with
the steamship Maddick master, which was on
a voyage from Bilbao for Middlesbrough with iron ore.
The fog was unusually thick, and the cai.tain of the
.Rivoti had been on deck for hours previous to the
collision, but it was impossible to see the anproach of
any other vessel. The Palerino struck the Rifro/i with
such force that the latter sank immediately, carrying
down with her five of the crew, namely, two firemen
named Ellis and Dodis, the cook, Dixon, the second
engineer, Lumley, and the boatswain. The waa
an iron screw steamer of 1,272 tons gross, built at New-
cistle in 1882, and classed 100 Al at Lloyci;s. The
collision occurred off Ushant.

RIOTS IN HUNGARY.

Writing on Sunday the Vienna Correspondent of
the Standard says
At Z tla Egersseg, in Western Hungary, a serious
Anti Jewish riot took place on Friday night, and the
disturbances were repeated with increased violence
last night. The outbreak arose from a dispute between
a Jew and a Christian peataut, which resulted in the
arrest of the latter and another peasant. There-
upon, an attempt was made by the townspeople
and peasants to set the prisoners free. The only
troops in the place were a single company of in-
fantry, and aceordingly the crowd of peasants, about
two thousand strong, which appeared at night,
armed with hay forks and hatchets, had it all their
own way. They were, moreover, reinforced by the
town mob, and the olmbined forces proceeded to
plunder indiscriminately all the Jews' houses and
shops. The troof.s twice tired on the populace, who
retaliated, severely wounding nine of the soldiers.
Yesterday morning the military received a small rein-
forcement, but the rioting nevertheless recommenced.
The troops were still too weak to cope with the mob,
who wounded some twenty of the soldiers, and con-
tiued their excesses unchecked. Of all the houses
and shops belonging to the Jews not one was spared.
The mob ran through the streets, shouting "Murder
all the Jews. Burn down their houses. Eden
Istoczy 1" Some of the rioters began setting the
houses on fire, but were ultimately prevented carrying
out their purpose. The persons arrested on the pre-
vious day were, however, all set free by the mob.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1883.

THE MYSTERIOUS DROWNING CASE.
NEAR BRIER LEY HILL
On Monday morning W. H. Philips, Esq. (dis'
trict coroner) resumed an inquiry at the Britannia
Inn, Hart's Hill, near Brierley Hill touching the
death of William Emery, a child five years old, the
son of William Emery, puddler, Hart's Hill, it will
be remembered that the deceased was missed from
home on the Ist of August, and sought for in vain
until the following Friday, when Matilda Davis told
deceased's parents that her son Walter had stated
that on the Wednesday he had seen the deceased
and three other children on the canal side, near
the Round Oak bridge; that he saw one of the three
I push deceased into the water, after which all three
I of the deceaseds companions ran away. Upon search
being made, deceased's dead body was found at the
spot indicated by Walter Davis. At the opening
of the inquest Davis was unable to say who the
boys were he saw withthe deceased, andthe Coroner
adjourned the inquest to allow the police t 9 make
inquiries
Police-constable Wootton now informed the
Coroner that he was unable to obtaint any evi-
dence of violence having been offered to the deceased
Matilda Davis stated that her boy still adhered to
the statement he had previously made that the de-
ceased was pushed into the canal on the day men-
tioned, and be further mentioned the names of two
boys named Cartwright and Thomas in connection
with the affair. The boy Cartwright was not pre-
sent.

Sarah Cartwright, wife of Jesse Cartwright,
Wood-street, Hart's Hill, stated that her boy n w
present would be seven years of ago next March.
She was confident that he was not on the canal
side on the afternoon of Wednesday, the Ist inst-
ant, as he was at home from one o'clock until half-
past five o'clock. when witness stilt him to his
father at the latter's woikshop. In reply to the
Coroner, witness said her son was employed dur-
ing the afternoon in gathering rhubarb in the gar-
den with another boy; they gathered iOlbs and
washed it.
The Coroner said if the witness's story was true
her son could not have been present on the canal
side at the time deceased was drowned,bocause the
litter was seen at one o'clock, and missed at four
o'clock. It was a strange story the boy Davis had
told, and yet it could baldly be correct if Mrs. Cart-
wright's story was true. Under all the circum-
stances, and as the police had failed to obtain any
substantial evidence of violence being offered to
the child, he should advise 1 the jury to return an
open verdict.
Police-constable Wootton said a next-door neigh.
bour told him about the latter's boy being in the
garden all the afternoon before he ( Woetton) saw
Mrs. Cartwright—The jury returned a veldtet to
the effect "That deceased was found drowned in
the canal but by wizat.means he got into the water
there was no evidence to show."

CUTTINGS FROM AMERICAN PAPERS.

The high school girl and her friend have kissed and
made up. The latter having heard her brother Jim
advise another boy to fence himself in," asked if it
was a correct expression. "No, indeed, it isn't," was
the reply ; "it's hoirid slang. Jim ou4ht to have said,
Surround yourself with a mural circumvallation.' "
A man, being assured that the sun never rose in
the west, said it was very strange, as he had a cousin
in lowa who was always writing how pleasant it
was in that district. He concluded it mast be all
moonshine.

THE LEGEND OF THE MACKINNONS.

Many a wild legend clings to these misty peaks and
craggy glens—tales of the shadowy heroes of ancient
days, Euch as are recorded in the dreamy poems of
o,siau. One of these tells how, in the days when
the shores of Loch Scavaig were haunted by fierce
wild boars, the chief of the Mackinnons, in fol.
lowing a wounded red deer, left all his followzrs
far behind. He found s'leiter for the night in a cave
on the edge of the loch, and there, having kindled
a tire, prepared to broil some of his venison on the
embers. In one hand he held a large bone, from
which he was cutting slices ready for dressing, when
a ruAle on the dry seaweed at the mouth of the cave
made him look up. To his horror be beheld a savage
wild boar, in the act of charging him with gaping
jAWS and terrible tusks. Quick as thought he grasped
the hone more firmly in his hand, and as the grizzly
brute came upon him, he dashed his arm down his
throat, and the crossbone held the cruel jaws wide open,
leaving him full time to despatch the foe with his
hunting-knife. It is in memory of this feat that the
Mackinnons, to this day, bear as their crest a boar's
head, opewmouthed, apparently choked by a great
bone.

It is somewhat curious that Oxford should posses a
literary version ef this legend, telling how a student
of Q le,n's College was wandering in Shotover Wood
deep in the study of a volume of Aristotle, when he,
too, was charged by an open•mouth wild boar. He
had the presence of mind to thrust Arist(Ale down the
brute's throat, and certainly no wild boar was ever
more effectually choked. The happy deliverance is
still annually commemorated, when the boar's head is
carried Into hall, with all due ceremony, to grace the
Christmas dinner at Queen's College,—" Notes of a
Wanderg in kYes" in rftriPk Bar.
