(Loud applause.) At the same time he wished it to be distinctly understood that in advocating the particular form of worship to be employed in the building to be erected they were actuated by no feelings of bigotry, or of animosity towards other sects.

They claimed fellowship with all denominations of Christians professing truly evangelical principles, the sole object of the promoters of this movement being the promotion of religion with scriptural truth as its basis. (Applause.) For his own part he trusted that the beneficial results anticipated would be fully realised. He wished his hearers, however, to remember the scriptural injunction, The Most High dwolleth not in temples made with hands." God required the worship ef the heart, and a true spirit of devotion it was in the power of all his creatures to render him, and without which the efforts of Christian worshippers waB vain. Mr. Alison concluded by expressing a hope that the proceedings conducted in the new chapel might ever be of such a character, for thus they would be-comeacceptable at the Throneof Graoe.

(Applause. Mr. Allison then went through the ceremony of layiDg the atone, and having concluded hia labours expressed a hope that in due time the building would, as they all desired, become permanent. They had every reason to believe, from their knowledge of the architects and the builders, that it would be a substantial and useful edifice, and he hoped might anawer every purpose, for which it was intended. Doddridge's hymn And will the great eternal God" having been sung, frayer was offered up by the Rev.

E. Hassan. The Rev. Enoch Mellob then addressed the assembly as follows The foundation stone of a new house of prayer has now been laid in the name of Him who revealed himself as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost The act which we have this day performed is one which may not unfitly be regarded as the expression of our fixed and unalterable faith in the gospel of the Son of God. This foundation atone, with the structure which is to be reared thereon, is a witness and a protest a witness to certain verities of essential and eternal importance 'to man, and a protest against the errors by which these verities have been travestied, fettered, or assailed.

The spectacle of an assembly like the present, met for the purpose of witnessing suoh a coS nt amount was raised to give a iviJ. 9 to the undertaKing- aiwr a architectural designs, one was tne reservoir ana neiow tne excepting a trial shaft has shown that that material is in its whole substance watertight. In the Bradfield reservoir several acres of sutfaoe have been frared by exoavation. Many square yards of fissured rock have been bared. Into that; rock I found by examination that surface water readily flows without pressure.

With pres. sure the flow of water into them would bo greater. No engineer tell what is to become of that water. It may waste itself harmlessly below, but there is a possibility of its communicating with fissures beneath the external slope of the embankment. In such a case the engineer has ho right to run the risk of letting water into the substrata, because the water will bo beyond his oontrol, and it will be impossible for him to tell what will become of it, except by experience.

I do not undertake to say that water has done any inj ury. I have no evidence, neither can anybody say it has not done injury. I have examined the by-water, and do not think it adequate to convey away the flood water. I would have made a very much larger by-wash. In this case the by-wash has not been the cause of any injury, as the water never ro3e to it.

I do not approve of a sloping by-wash suoh as the whole of the Sheffield Waterworks possess. I think it is always better to break your by-wash channel by a series of Bteps. I think for such a capacity of water and such adrainage area the two 18-inch pipes totally inadequate to give safety to the bank in the case of anticipated danger. To take away the incoming water of a flood from the reservoir the by-wash and pipes ought always to be equal to safely removing the greatest possible flood on a full reservoir. I have no wish to make statements away from this special question, but shall be glad to answer questions.

By the would not have put pipes in the embankment. Wherever put, the pipes should have been longer. It is a fatal objeotion to the scheme that there have not been valves to shut the water off from the pipes. The pipes and by-wash would not carry away a flood coming when the reservoir was full. There ought to be a goit to carry away the flood water when the dam was fall.

I am surprised that the engineers destroyed the one they used while the embankment was being made. By the Coroner. Several causes may have led to the catastrophe a fractured pipe, a blown or drawn joint, a creep along the pipes, a pressing down of the pipes in the puddle trenoh by the heavy material on both sides of it, or a. washing away of the outer slope, as suggested by Mr. Leather-; or by a landslip, caused by undiscovered fissures and springs in communication with the interior of the reservoir, which fissures and springs, if they existed and had such communication, would become active for mischief as the water rose in the reservoir.

Those are the methods which occur to my mind as agents which may have caused the destruction of the bank-one of them, or more of them combined, may have done it. My opinion is that it was a most fatal met with the approval eir" and in nt pniirR- onlv small. considered, I 0tStl wifl be a neat edifice and as such tntJ-ir aaaiuuii vu ui6u r.rllOOO. THE SHEFFIELD DISASTER. TBRMINATION OP THE INQUEST: SHE VEKDIOT.

The inquest was resumed and oonoludad on Tburtday. The first witness was Mr. Matthew B. Jaokaon, civil and mechanioal engineer, of Sheffield, who had been engaged in the construction of many extensive reservoirs in Australia. In the oourse of his examination he said I was on the embankment at Bradfield a few hours after the accident, and three times since I have examined it, in special reference to this inquiry.

I am of opinion there is no fault to be found with the quantity of materialmen the slopes. Tho material was ample and thO slope sufficient. The puddle was good imrl sufficient. I have put in a greater proportion of 'puddle, but 1 do not think at all that any accident would have arisen from that. I have no fault to find with the by-wash.

I have examined the embankment. I should not have formed an embankment in the same way. I should distinctly prohibit the use ef railway waggons on a bank, more especially on the inside slope, beoause, in the first place, I should make the bank in layers of not more than two feet thiok. Kailway waggons alwayB travel in the same line, and tend to consolidate the embankment unequally. Dobbins and oarts, on the other hand, travel in different parts, and tend to consolidate the embankment equally.

On the inside slope I should have insisted that layers, not exceeding two feet each, should have been carried over and through, each being perfectly finished before another wsb commenced. On the outside slope I would not object to a tip of three feot, because it is not so necessary to have the outer slope so im- Eervioua to water. It is better open, to let water ave free exit. I mean by open, that it should be composed more porous material. The embankment had not been ereoted in that manner.

Mr. Gunson, the acting engineer of the Sheffield Waterworks, was afterwards examined relative to the variances which had taken place in the aotual work from the specifications. These, it appeared, had been considerable. A specification, he said, waB simply a guide and when the BpeoifioatiorjB of the Bradfield reservoir were drawn up, Mr. Leather, the consulting engineer, was not aware of the materials to bo got in the excavation of the reservoir.

By a Juryman. Mr. Leather was more than twice, perhaps six times, at Bradfield during the construction of the work. I used to go over and see him. He had to come once a year at least to report.

The Coroner. He is a consulting engineer," an ornamental officer. He is expected to do nothing but simply present a report. The coroner then strongly denounced the departure made from the specifications. The examination continued.

Mr. Gunson said Mr. Leather came over, and saw some of that work in progress where the specifications were departed from. The Coroner. Then he ought to be ashamed of himself.

A Juryman, Mr. Coroner, take it mora deliberately. The Coroner. It is difficult to do so when there iB the broad fact that the work has destroyed nearly 30O of our fellow-citizens. Mr.

B. Bawlinson, Government engineer, was Bworn, and said I have had experience in the construction of waterworks. I have executed waterworks at Wigan, Berwick-on-Tweed, Swansea, and other places. As inspector, I have made myself acquainted with the great works erected during the last 20 years, and have personally inspected many of them, including those at Liverpool, designed and executed by Mr. Hawksley, and those at Manchester, designed and executed by Mr.

If ever, which God in mercy forbid, such worship should ever cease to be offered here, and the form should overlay and crush the spirit and if the gospel of the grace of God should ever be frittered away until the atonement becomes a simple martyrdom, and the high spirituality of the Christian life degenerates into barren ethics, philosophy, falsely so called, taking the place of revelation, the end we contemplate will be defeated. But we pray and believe that this place may be to thousands yet unborn as a fountain of living waters, and as the gate to heaven. A hymn by Conder, "Now with angels rouud the throne," having been sung, a collection was made in aid of the chapel fund, and the proceedings terminated. In the evening, a public tea meeting in connection with the proceedings of the day waa held in the Mechanics' Institution, at which addresses, were delivered by various ministers and other gentlemen.

One of the men, it was stated, was immediately outside-the door destroying a fuse, when, instead of its. contentB discharging forward they discharged backwards and ignited some of the powder inside. The first indication of danger to those inside the laboratory was the flash of tho ignited powder, followed by an explosion. Gunner Moraut, one oF the survivors, raised his hands to bis eyes and attempted to run to the door.

The great expkv eioh took place; he lost consciousness, but was fortunately blown altogether clear of the building, and waa taken up alive, although suffering from injuries sustained. Captain Mahon and Corporal Brayshaw were also blown out, and thus fortunately escaped death. Captain Mahon's escape was really wonderful.

The case of Moso and wife v. the Hastings and St. Leonards Gas Company was tried at Lewes assizes on Thursday. It was an action to recover damages for injuries alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiffs through the negligence of the defendants. The plaintiffs sought to recover damages for injuries they had sustained in consequence of au explosion of gas that took place at St.

Leonards, in December, 1862. It appeared that the plaintiff is a -house agent and painter, residing at No. 20, London-road, St. Leonards, and that a Bhort time before the explosion took place there had been a strong smell of gas observed about the premises, and he had applied to the company upon the subject, and they sent a man to make an examination, but he did not appear to have considered that there was any danger, and went away, and very Boon afterwards an explosion took place in the L-Jfolinw nf Knnln.intiflr'(ihrmfitt and ona or two houses were opened oy tne pt ft aymu in which XiXO ItKlti CAytBBO imni uhuuwvu a arrived, and sot our mining population in a ferment with the startling intelligence that an organised band of a hundred robbers and murderers had been discovered in the eastern portion of Idaho, and that some of them had been arrested and had confessed to the murder of about a hundred persons between this city and Bannock during the laBt few montlis. The mining districts Bannock, Virginia, and Stinking Water were aroused and had initiated the day of retribution by the hanging of 14 of the miscreants within a few dayfl, and the vigilance committee were in pursuit of all the others, and would never stop the good work till they had hung all the others or driven them from the country, lhe murderers were headed by one Henry Plummer, the sheriff of Bannock and Virginia-a polished villain that no one suspected of being ongaged in a work in -which the community expected hinvto be the first to suppress.

The reply might not and would not in all oaseB be suoh as to give satisfaction. In some minds it would awaken derision, and even pity, for such misguided men as are induced to give of their substance for purposes which seem to have so little affinity with the principles of a narrow political economy. But even in this case an indulgent and considerate charity would not surely be too severe on a prooeeding which, if unwise, would be the folly of a generous and Belf-denying benevolence.

In an age so strongly commercial in-its oharaoter, when men trade for gain and lend for usury, it is a redeeming circumstance that they will sometimes, as is witnessed by projeots such as the one we inaugurate this day, give, expecting nothing again that they will surrender some portion of their wealth without desiring to.see it again, exoepfc as it Bhall be transmuted, through God's grace, into the enlightenment and elevation of a people. And if the direction of suoh benevolence were not always the most prudent that might be conceived, tender indeed should be the reproof of conduct which proves some men to be amenable to higher considerations and impulses than those of avarice and selfishness. I will, as briefly as possible, however, indicate some of the elements that enter into the meaning, of this ceremony so far as it expresses our faith. This Btoue bears witness, then, to our firm and unshaken conviction of the religious nature of man. It is a stone laid not as the foundation of an exchange, or a town hall, or an assize court, or a mechanics' institute, or a secular school, but as a house of prayer and praise.

It affirms on our behalf that there is in man something more than is recognised or met by the ordinary institutions of society that he is more than an animal organisation dust in Hb origin, and dust in its destiny that he is not merely a thinking and working machine, with no other relations than those of time that he is more broadly and strictly related to tho invisible than the visible, to the eternal than to the temporal; and that even as a denizen of this world he only lives aright according as he draws his motives and his inspirations from above.

The explosion was represented to have been caused by the defective state of the main pipe conveying the gas under the road, which had permitted an extensive leakage to take place, and hence the accident. On the part of the company it was endeavoured to' be established that there had been no negligence, and witnesses were called who proved that the main pipes had been laid down new in 18(51, a year previous to the occurrenoe taking place, and the accident was sought to be explained by the leakage --of a waterpipe that' ran cloBe to the gaB service, which, it was said, had undermined the ground beneath the pipe in question, which, having lost its support, was fractured.

It appeared, however, that during the negociationa between the parties the company had admitted their liability to a certain extent, and had agreed to pay Mr. Moae the sum of fn.ilon,nnatliBthaj boon Anna tn fchft hnttnp). rind A FENIAN IN TROUBLE. voirs of the company, ana tne reservoir at iigueu now being constructed, I have also carefully looked over the specifications. As a practioal engineer, I think no waterworks embankment ought to have pipes laid through it so as to prevent repair or renewal when necessary.

The engineer should be master of his work, not let it be master, of him. I know of many instances of failure where pipes and culverts have been laid through the main embankment. Cast-iron pipes having plain socket joints, although previously tested to four times the head of water they may have to carry, are occasionally found fractured and defective when the water is turned on, although in the Btreet trenches in which they are laid they have only 4 ft, of earth, to bear. With the most careful jointing, the joints are sometimes found to be blown or defective. PipeB laid in the street can be repaired without inuoh damage.

A defective pipe in this embankment may have worked the destruction we have witnessed, and no human ingenuity could prevent it under the circumstances in which those pipes exist. I did not say that it did so I wish that to "be clearly understood. That, therefore, is not a legitimate way in which to lay pipes for the making of a reservoir. In my own I have formed a tunnel or culvert through the solid stratification on one side of the valley and perfectly free from the loose earth of the embankment. That culvert ia exeouted iu the very best possible manner with hydraulic lime, and puddled z.

It having been apprehended that a riot would take place in that neighbourhood which, it would appear from the late demonstration on Slievnamon, is not very remarkable for its loyalty to the British Crown a large number of the constabulary were moved on Wednesday by direction of Mr. Hanna, R.M., of Carrick-on-Suir, into the village, which had already become disorderly. The presence of the constabulary had a composing effect upon the rustics, many of whom, it is believed, are members of that secret organisation or brotherhood" which, unfortunately, has a very widespread existence in this very county.

For one year after his arrival in the gold country, Carey wrote constantly to his wife, and enclosed frequent sums of money. Suddenly the correspondence ceased, and Mrs. Carey, receiving no money, was compelled to adopt other means of livelihood for herself and little ones. A few weeks thereafter, Mrs.

Carey received information that her husband had been killed in the mines, which waa corroborated by a subsequent letter received from California.

This is, iu our opinion, the gospel the gospel as preached by apostles, and attested by the blood of a cloud of witnesses. From the confident tone in which we are now assured that the days of our holy religion are numbered, one might imagine that it had lived hitherto because unopposed, or opposed but feebly, and that now, at length, "the stone out out of the mountain without hands" was destined to be shattered by some mighty hammer made in the forge of human speculation. But is it so that the eospel has lived on sufferance Has it advanced because unresisted?

I have done this because I found I could not make puddle adhere to the cast-iron pipe so aB to be watertight, even under only five feet of pressure. Unless those precautions are taken the water doeB creep along the surface of the pipe. In land draining, where ordinary drainpipes are laid in a clay subsoil, the best drainers make no provision for an open substratum. They know that water will find its way to the pipes, and I believe the pipes drain as much by their outer subsoil as by the inner capacity. I believe there is an outer creep along every pipe, lhe result of that experience teaches me that a smooth line of cast-iron pipes, with joints such as are described by Mr.

Gunson, are not to be trusted as certain to be watertight in such an embankment, although lined the whole length with puddle. I heard Mr. Gunson's evidence as to the mode iu which he had laid the pipes through the embank upon sworn lniormatiouB, ui wrausi vi vuo Pru6Biansand Austrians in Sohleswig. The document asserts that up to the crossing of the Eider by the Austro-Prussians the peace of the Duchies was undisturbed, but the advance of the hostile armies waB followed by insurrectionary movements in favour of the Duke of Angustenburg, which were winked at and encouraged, and sometimes participated in, by the Austro -'Prussian soldiers. With their permission also deputations were sent to the Pretender, in some cases the members of the deputation being the only persons from the districts represented who were willing to take part in such demonstrations Numerous Government officials were expelled through acts of mob violence, which the Austro-Prassian soldiers had power to prevent, but would not, and the document contains a long list of cases.

The oar drove off slowly, because the crowd blocked up the way, and expressed their determination that the prisoner should not be allowed to leave Mullinahone.

When Carey iaformed Eeibe that he waB Edward Carey, the lady's lawful husband, Beibe also claimed her as his wife, and added, I shall never give her up. Before the wife had fully recovered from her fainting attack the two husbands had become engaged in angry, violent words, resulting in Carey drawing a pistol upon Beibe, and the latter being forcibly ejected from hiB house. Beibe on Monday morning had a warrant sworn out in the police court, charging Carey with disorderly conduct and provoking him to commit a breach of the peace. Carey was arrested, and when arraigned claimed the woman as his wife, as did also Beibe. The wife, who, like Niobe, was all in tears, was called up and asked by the court if either of these men was husband.

She replied that she had been married to both, but, having learned that her husband was dead, she had formed an attachment for Reibe three years afterwards, and married him. After assuring the court of her deeply-seated attachment alwayfffor Carey, and now her warm affection for Beibe, who had been an affectionate and devoted husband, the court inouired What do you now propose to do live with your first husband, who ib legally such, or with the man whom, by misapprehension and unintentionally, you have roads your husband?" The lady replied, My duty and ray desire is to go and live with my first husband, Edward Carey." The scene which followed can never be described.

The rate of interest credited half-yearly to this class, by the savings banks, io--pends upon the rules of the several savings baafe in which the deposits are made, and therefore, the books of the National Debt OfSoe do not show how much of this sum was interest credited to 20th November; but as the sum due to this -class of friendly societies by savings banks formed part of the capital credited to savings banks.

On arriving at the top of Dorrery the eagle was observed resting, while the lamb was skipping about uninjured. The eagle maintained its position till Mr. Gunn was within 50 yards of it, when it took to flight, and Mr. Gunn, with ewe and lamb, returned to Braehour, the lamb being none the worse for its voyage in the talons of tho eagle.
