The Br. ship Queen of the Ocean, Cap
tain Tillery, 1895 tons British measure
ment, cleared on the Oath ult., from Mo.
bile for Liverpool, with cargo Of 1901
bales of Cotton, and 8 boxes of Merchan-
dize-the greatest cargo ever carried out
of that port. The aggregate weight OF
her Cotton IS 1896, 440 pounds; averag-
ing nearly Asa lbs. per bale. The ship
received her first cotton on the 2lst A.
pril, and completed loading in 80 days.
Last season the same vessel carried
hence 3,125 bales, weighing l,516,O54
lbs.-the largest cargo except her present
one, ever shipped from the port. The
next greatest cargoes were those Of the
ship England, which in 1910 carried g..
0O3 bales, weighing l,4l0, 4O5 Ibs.-and
the year previous, 1910 bales, weighing
1,343, Ala pounds.
The above cargo is hard to beat, and

eREEs. The Presbyterian General As.

Cd Of October, 1s4O, he took as his wife,
Mary McCloud, the sister ofthe deceased
wife. The Presbytery Of Fayetteville,
conceiying this contrary to the law OF God,
cited Mr.. Mcqueen before them, and af-
ter an argument, the facts being admitted,
they decided that the act was incest, and
proceeded to depose the accused from the
Gospel ministry, both ss they alege, 10
their judgment, for the reformation of the
offender, and in order to purge the church
from such a scandal. From this iudg-
ment Mr.. Mcqueen appealed to the Gen
eral assembly. The case came up for
hearing on Tuesday afternoon. DR..
Krebs appeared as counsel for Mr.. Nc.
Queen, and addressed the Convention two
DAYS on The subject. The Rev. Mr.. Nc
liver, Of North Carolina, replied in defence
of the judgment of the presbytery. The
ouestion was not decided when the Assem-.
bly, adjourned on Thursday. -Bah. Pat.
