and was remarkable as offering by far the
greatest public spectacle ever witnessed in

service precisely the same as if he were the
son of private gentleman He messes
with the mdshipmen, keeps his regular
watch, dimes occasionally in he ward room,
and takes his turn TO dine with the captain.
He is treated by his messmates as, in all re-
spects, one of themselves-is called to order
by the caterer, and runs the same risk of
being made the subject of a practical joke as
other young gentlenen-himselt however
being generally pretty forward in the bust
ness of playful mischief. Upon one question,
that of smoking, the young Prince is stern
~ denied the privilege INDUCED in by his
brother officers"
WILL THE Coal FIELDS HOLD OUT?-
Some of the scientific journals have been
discussing at various periods the ques ton
whether The coal fields will hold out, con-
sidering the enormous quantity consumed.
Professor Rogers, after showing the areas
and solid contents of the various known
coal fields, estimates that at the present
rate of consumption, loo, 900, 900 of tons per
annum, the coal fields of PENNSYLVANIA
alone would meet the demand for q I64
years. If the consumption were doubled,
viz: 200, 900, 900 of tons, the great Appal-
achan field would meet the strain for q, 93 Il
| years. Ii il were quadrupled, viz 40O,-
900, 900, the productive coal fields of North
America would suffice for the worlds sup
| ply for IL, 900 years TO come
EXPELLED.-At the recent session of the
/ North Indiana conference of the Methodist
! Episcopal Church, held at Mishawaka, Rev
G. w. Miller, late pastor of Roberts Chapel
in this city, was expelled from the confer
ence and the church by almost unani-
nous vote. lie made II speech of about
four hours in length in his own defence, but
the conference adjndged him guilty and
dealt with him accordingly. The charges
preferred against him were based on improp-
er intimacy with young lady of his con-
| gregation, of which accounts were published
in the city papers in September last. The
members of the conference deemed it due to
/ themselves and the church to act rs they did
in this matter Their proceedings were as
/ prompt and decisive as were those of the
| Indiana Conference at Bloomington last Oc-
tObcr, in the case of Rev. Prof DR. Daily.
