One was the Rocket, community to secure a place of worship for with alt. Emest Fownes in charge, and the the congregation calminated yesterday in the other was a private coach chartered and driven laying of the foundation stone of what will be by Miss M. J.W. F. Eastwick, an American lady, an important addition to the religious edifices who was taking a party of friends to the French of Shanghai. The site secured is one of the capital. Each coach was elegantly appointed. most central it was possible in have got, at The guards were tesplendent in a livery of the corner of Whangpoo Road and Astor green and gold with splashes of red; the Road, facing the Garden Bridge, and almost Rocket was painted in red and the companion opposite the German Consulate. The pro- coach in yellow, and each had on the back and ceedings commenced at ten o'clock yesterday the panels of the doors "London to Paris, vid morning, a bamboo shed having been erected Newhaven," in gold lettering. A large and interested crowd witnessed the start, which was on the site of the church to protect those who took part in the proceedings from the beat of made at eleven o'clock to the merry sound of the sun. There was a large attendance of ladies the hom, the Rocket, with its dozen paying and gentlemen, nearly 200 being present, passengers, leading. Both vehicles will traverse including members of the Municipal Council, the same route, but the Rocket will perform the journey in nine days, while Miss Eastwick and her party will stay Rouen to inspect the attractions of the town, reaching Paris some three or four days later.

the Committee and Minister of the Union Church, H.E. Admiral Blendemann and the commanders of the Geman war vessels Hertha and Gefion, together with deputations from the crews of these vessels. By the kind permission. of the Municipal Council, the Town Band was present, and, under the masterly direction of Mr. Sternberg, played as introduction Largo by Handel and after the ceremony O Sanc- tissima.

The proceedings were conducted in German. Pastor Hackmann preached an eloquent and impressive sermon from I Cor. iii, 2—” Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ,” after which the audience joined in singing the hymn-Nun danket alle Gott.

The stone was then lowered into position, Pastor Hackmann first giving three taps with the hammer in the naine of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; then Admiral Hen- demann gave three taps in the name of Faith, Love, and Hope. Consul Schnitzler followed with a like ceremonial and three taps by Mr. Jo Nuelting concluded the faying, of the

CONFLICTING STATEMENTS.

The two following paragraphs, cut from a home contemporary are certainly somewhat confusing:

General Otis has letegraphed from the Philip pines to Washington that a number of important surgent officers are surrendering, and that the situation is gradually becoming more paci f.c.

The Spanish Minister of War has received an official despatch from Manila, announcing that a large number of Spaniards residing in that city are desirous of returning to Spain, be cause the Filipino insurrection is increasing in the Island of Luzon.

The lower, THE Company's Steamship fine, old half-timbered, buildings are now as safe and sound as ever they were, and the Bloedy Tower, stripped of surplus flint and stucco excrescences that had long disfigured it, is now restored to much of its original antiquity.

The Royal Mint stands on the site of the Ancient Abbey of St. Mary of Graces, or East- minster, which, in its size and the extent of its precincts, is said to have rivalled that of West- minster. The Abbey was founded by Edward 11. out of gratitude, and in obedience to a vow, for his escape from a fearful storm at sea, and it was built on the churchyard of the Holy Trinity, which was dedicated by Ralph Stratford, Bishop of London, to the honour of God, about the year 1350, for use as a pestilence ground, the usual burial groumis then existing being quite inadequate to hold the victims of the terrible pestilence then raging. The ex- cavations at the Mint for the new offices have disciosed what are supposed to been part of the old chalk foundations of the "Eastminster," or "Enst Minster," and two moulded stone doorway jambs of Norman transitional work, but the latter not in situ.

Three Miles of Newspapers. One of the greatest problems besetting the Tristees of the British Museum is the en- crgachment which in recent years has been accumulated piles of newspapers both London made upon the space at their disposal by the provincial as well as foreigo: and colonial, An effort is

now being made to grapple with this difficulty, and Viscount Peel's Bill, copies of which have now been dis tributed, authorises the Trustees to de- posit with local authorities files of any local newspapers which have been received by them at Bloomsbury since the year 1873, or which may be hereafter received, and also to make rules respecting the disposal, by destruc- tion or otherwise, of printed matter deposited in the museum which is not of sufficient value to justify its preservation. How gigantic the

recent years may be gathered from the fact that the shelves accupied by London newspapers alone exceed 1,000 yards in length, whilst those devoted to the provincial, colonial, and foreign Press are more than 3,000 yards, the total men- 'surement being close upon three miles. In a

cases,

In dysentery, piles, irritation of tha lower bowel, cough, bronchitis, asthma, and some of the more trying complaints of this kind, it will be found astonishingly efficacious! affording prompt relief where other well-tried remedies have been powerless.

THERAPION No. 2, for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains and swellings of the joints, secondary symp toms, disease of the bones, sore throat, and all diseases for which it has been too much a fashion to employ mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of the sufferer's teeth and ruin of health.
