A Strange Presentiment.

The death by drowning of Jacob Wild.
erborg yesterday, brought to light some
singular facts showing that the unfor-
tunate man had a remarkable PRESENT..
ment of his impending fate. Wilder
borg, who was twenty-on years of age,
was in the employ of Lewis NJ. Smith, in
Felrs Point market. He was directed
by Mr.. Smith to place barrel of beef on
= vessel lying in the stream. Wilder
borg procured boat at the foot of Fell
street from Robert Rolls, in which, at his
request, sail was set, and proceeded to
Henderson's wharf. The barrel was then
placed on the boat. Before pushing off
he handed to Mr.. Rolls one of Mr..
Smiths tags, on which he wrote his name
At the same time he gave him fifty
cents, saying: If l am drowned this
will give you my place of residence"
He then started for the vessel, but had
not proceeded far before his boat seemed
to be at the mercy of the wind, and
drifted into the trough of the waves. He
apparently lost his presence of mind and
also the control of the boat, which, by
the action of the waves and the wind,
was capsiZed and he was thrown into the
water. A number of persons were on
the wharf at the time, and, observing
Wilderborg struggling in the water, sew
eral boats were manned and started to
his rescue. Before they succeeded in
getting near him, however, he disap.
peared beneath the water and was
drowned. Efforts were Immediately
made to recover the body, and after
dragging several hours those engaged in
the work were successful. DR. Ireland,
coroner, deemed an inquest unnecessary.
The body was removed by the friends of
the deceased to the Hebrew Hospital, on
East Monument street, where it was pre-
pared for interment. .-BdltimOre Gazette.

Commander Cameron commenced his

have great hope for the fuGure of Africa,
because, whatever might b. our trou.
bles at present with the Caffres in the
TIansvaaI, there was no shutting our
eyes to the fact that the logical result Of
our colony at the Cape and Of the ag-
erosion Of the Beers was thas these pe0-
pie who were now doing great harm
would push themselves forward and even
tually render it necessary for the English
to establish some form Of Government

chance Of success in establishing Il route

thy successor Of Bishop Mackenzie, was
forcing his way into the interior. Then
there was the Seyyid of Zanzibar, who, as
long as lie had Dr.. Kirk to guide him, was
sure 10 so light. (Hear, hepr.) The slave
trade had been rendered illegal on the
coast and also in the interior, as far as the
Seyyid could render it illegal. As long as
DR.. Kirk was our representative at Zauzi,
bar the name of England would always be
in the ascendant there. He himseIt had
found that the natives of the interior be-
lieved there were only two great people in
tho world--viz., the English Council at
Zanzibar and the ScyyiI of Z inzibar. The
latter was now Offering US his assis-
lance in opening up The interior of
Africa. Chief among the products Of
Africa was cotton, which grew wild in
many places, while in almostal parts the
people cultivated small patches of cotton.
Ihls circumstance in itself showed that a
great future Was in store for Africa. At pre-
sent the trade of Africa consisted chiefly of
slaves, ivory, and beeswax. Last wear.
too, there was $4,000 worth of indiarub-

Blu, if the P~resbyiery should adopt the
broad, comprehensive construction which
the language of transfer ~jusiiiies and the
action Of Synod implies, then Crystal
Springs and Brookhavcn are both in The
"same region or district Of country;
Natchez and Mount Carmel are in tic
Same region or district Of country; nay,
the whole Mississippi Presbytery is in the
"same region or district Of country" and
therefore in the "samc region or district Of
country where the iunls were known to
have been derived" And, furthermore,
this construction accords precisely with
the action of the Legislature in granting
The charter 10 this academy, and from tie
Legislature alone is derived the power to
make the location at Ill. The language
of the charter leaves it discretionary--'to
establish at some eligible point in the
Presbytery"-to be selected by that body;
ii gives preference to no particular place.
Is not this second objection a~nswered--tl4e
second obstacle removed?
