THE Lords of the Admiralty, on the way from Portland to Portsmouth yesterday, were shown what a turbine-propelled vessel could do, says the Pall Mall Gazette of the 7th ult. Their lordships left their yacht and embarked on the destroyer Viper, which whirled them along at much greater speed than the south-country trains achieve. The run from Portland to Portsmouth, via the Needles, is just over fifty miles. Within two hours of leaving Portland the Piper was tied up at a buoy in Portsmouth Harbour, and her passengers had disembarked. After entering the Solent the Viper slowed. down, but from Portland to the Needles she maintained a speed which gave their lordships a rather thrilling experience. Their own yacht, the Enchantress, was beaten by over three hours on the journey. Lord Selborne and most of the Board returned to London last night, ́excep! Adiniral Lord Waller Kerr, Senior Sea Lord at Portsmouth. He spent this morning on board, the cruiser Cressy, where a Court of Inquiry is being held, with a view of dis- covering the cause of the accident which has crippled the ship. Great reticence is being observed, but as the ship was at anchor when the damage was done, it could not have been due to fair usage. The steering gear is so Badly injured that the departure of the Cressy for China must be delayed for. six or eight weeks. She was to be sent off at once with orders to get to the Far East as soon as she could,

Yes, the thanks the audience were due to Mr. Burrell.

ACQUITTED OF EMBEZZLEMENT.
The following clipping from the `Mánila › friends of Mr. 1. R. Mercer, who was so Tings of the 20th ult, will be of interest to the
many years on the China coast -
Yesterday Judge Magsalin of the Court of the Merger case, acquitting Mr. Mercer of the First Instance of Tondo gave his decision in charge of embezzlement for which Messrs. Mr. Mercer has been discharged, his bondsmen Donaldson, Sim & Co. had prosecuted him, released and the attachinent on his account at the Chartered Bank' withdrawn.
Mr. J. R. Mercer was arrested on August 4th 1900, on the charge of embezzling $28,000, which amount was part of funds belonging to Messrs. Donaldon, Sim-& Co. with which be had gone to Bangkok, Siam, to purchase vessels
for that firm.
On April 15, 1900, Mr. Mercer had reported from Bangkok eleven vessels at a cost of $96,000 which had been promised him. Accord ing to the history of the case the money was not sent until April 21 and in the meantime four of the vessels which had been reported, and accepted by the firm went into the hands" of other purchasers. The price of the other vessels which had been accepted and paid for and which Mr. Mercer was able to send his firm, amounted to $71,000, and Mr. Mercer used the balance of the $95,000 in repairing and outfitting these vessels, It was this balance which Donaldson, Sin alleged that Mr. Mercer had embezzled, or diverted to his own use, on the ground that he had expended it contrary to instructions.
Mr. Mercer came back to Manila on July 11.1900, and presented himselfto his employers, who asked for an account in twenty-four hours. He wrote them asking for further time in which to render his account because he had not received his balance pass book. No reply was given and the criminal complaint was made the same day,
