THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT CAMBERWELL.-
Last night, Mr. Win. Cartter, the coroner for the eastern
division of the county of Surrey, resumed, at the Vestry—
hall, Camberwell, the adjourned inquest on the body of a
man found lying with his throat cut in a garden, in the
New-road, in the parish of Camberwell. After hearing
the evidence, the jury returned a verdict that the deceased
committed suicide, he being at the time in a state of tem-

porary insanity.
A BRAVE CLERGYMAN.—Duriug the day of the
18th inst. the Welsh coast was visited by a severe gale of
wind. With the dawn of next morning the Rev. Owen
Lloyd Williams, curate of Barmouth, saw from his bed-
room window a wreck on the Bar, with two men in her
rigging. He immediately dressed himself and ran down to
the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution. The boat
was at once manned by Mr. Williams, who is an expert
oarsman, and 10 other men. The sea at the time was very
rough, and the wind blowing hard from W.N.W. The
wreck was, however, soon reached by the noble lifeboat,
and the ship's exhausted crew were brought ashore in half
an hour afterwards. Mr. Williams's family has always
been conspicuous for devotedness in the rescue of ship-
wrecked crews ; his father, the Rev. James Williams, and
his late mother having been engaged in this philanthropic
work on the Anglesey coast for nearly 30 years.
GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Government
emigrant ship Admiral Lyons, 1,133 tons, Captain S. Dun-
can, sailed from Liverpool on Saturday the 25th inst., for
Sydney, New South Wales, in charge of Surgeon Superin-
tendent Edward Kearney, with 447 emigrants. The Dui-
gration Commissioners have given notice of their intention
to receve tenders next Thursday, the 30th inst. for a ship to
proceed to Melbourne, Victoria, to be ready for the recep-
tion of passengers on such day as they may fix upon be-
tween the 17th and 24th of November.
THE REV. C.
H. STURGEON'S NEW TABERNACLE.
There appears to be at last every probability that the taber-
nacle so long talked of and so much needed by this popular
preacher will shortly be commenced. On Sunday last Mr.
Spurgeon informed his immense congregation at the Surrey
Music-hal that he had already signed
Eleph an an agreement for a
freehold site of ground opposite the t and Castle,
Southwark, for the purpose of erecting a spacious edifice in
which the thousands who listen to him every Sunday might
be accommodated with .every convenience for worshipping
God as Particular Baptists. The building committee were
to meet the representatives of the Fishmongers' Company
yesterday, for the purpose of getting the matter completed.
£5,000 is the sum to be paid for the land. The edifice will
necessarily cost many thousands for its erection; and al-
though the sum left in hand, with the numerous liberal
promises of donations, will yield a. •ood amount, still the
congregation was urged to continue in its efforts to effect so
desirable an object. Mr. Spurgeon was very earnest in his
nppeol, and no doubt his friends will do their utmost to
complete the undertaking.
THE Two DISSENTERS.—When John Brown,
D.D., first settled at Haddington, Scotland, the people of
his parish gave him a warm and enthusiastic reception •
only one of the members of that large and influential church
and congregation stood out in opposition to him. • The rev.
doctor tried all the means in his power to convert the
solitary dissenter to the unity of feeling which pervaded
the whole body, but all his efforts to obtain an interview
proved abortive. As Providence directed, however, they
happened to meet in the street, when the doctor held out
his hand, saying, " My. brother, I understand you are
opposed to my settling in Hadngton ? "VCs, sir," re-
plied the parishioner. ."Well, and if it be a fair question,
on what grounds do you object to me?" "Because, sir,
quoth he, " I don't think you are qualified to fill so eminent
a post," " That is just my opinion," replied the doctor ;
"but what, sir, is the use of .you and me setting up our
opinions in opposition to the whole pa) ish ?" The le o'hei a
smiled, and their friendship was sealed for ever.—Che ;to--
