was out of the race. On passing the red houses descending

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION, BROMPTON.—On
Sunday morning last, by the kind permission of the rector,
the Rey. R. E. Coplestone, a sermon was preached at St.
Mary's, Barnes, by the Rev. J. F. Manby, incumbent of
Mortlake, in aid of the above excellent charity. The text
was taken from Acts, 13 chap., 36 verse—" For David,
after he had served his own generation, by the will of God
fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers." At the conclu-
sion of a most eloquent and interesting discourse, in which
each of the leading characters in Scripture who " had
served his own generation" was appropriately referred
to, the reverend gentleman urged upon his hearers
the duty of imitating the example in the text. Hav-
ing given a short account of the rive of this much-
needed institution, 19 years ago, and of its present posi-
tion of eminent usefulness, as one of the noblest
of the charities which form, as it were, a halo of glory
round the vast metropolis, the rev, preacher briefly, but
feelingly, appealed for help on behalf of nearly 208 fellow-
creatures, whose sufferings are being alleviated, or the pro-
gress of whose malady is being stayed, by means of the
comforts and medical treatment in this hospital. Tho in-
stitution was stated to be altogether unendowed, and hav-
ing, moreover, a yearly deficiency (beyond the amount of
annual subscriptions) of about £5,0100, which sum has to
be made up by legacies, church collections, and donations.
The collection, notwithstanding the comparatively small
size of the church, and the unpromising morning' amounted
to £32 17s, 9d..
WRECK OF A LARGE AMERICAN SlllP.—TElGN-
night—Yesterday morning MOUTH, DEVON, Tuesday
large vessel was seen on the rocks near Babacombe, t(,ur
miles west of this port. She proved to be the American
ship Caroline, from Havre, having mistaken the lights on
her voyage. The lifeboat belonging to the Royal National
Lifeboat Institution was immediately launched and pro-
ceeded to her assistance. The lifeboat remained by the ship
for some time. and in the course of the night, in conjunc-
tion with a steam tug, brought the crew of 16 men on shore.
Three of the lifeboat's crew were left in charge of the ves-
sel. part of her keel is knocked away, and there is no
doubt that she will become a total wreck in a very short
time. This valuable lifeboat was instrumental only a few
weeks ago in saving from destruction a large barge and her
crew.
