English is ooming increasingly into use, not only in the far West, but in the far East; and the faat that it was chosen as the tongue in wbioh to record treaty engagements of the highest importance between Russia and Ohina is remarkable, not only as testifying to the spread of the language, but beoause of ths disuse of French, which was long regarded as the only language of diplomacy.

In Norfolk, between Weybourne and Sherr ingbam, the waves constantly undermine tbe low ohaik oliftd. In Sherringbam an ion was built in 1805, so far from the sea that it w&s noped thai seventy years would still see it safe io'and. But the sea was quicker than tbe calculation. Between 1824 and 1329 seven teen yards were swept away. There was in 1829, a depth of twenty feet (sufficient to float a frigate) at one point in the harbour where, only forty-eight yeare ago, there stood a cliff fifty feet high, with houses upon it. ,

London, F«brn«ry 28

Mr Labouchere brought before tho House of Commons to-day the West End scanJal, and in doing bo alleged that Mr James Monro, the Chief Com missioner of the Metropolitan Police,' urged that Hammond, who was noto riously connected with the scandal, and subsequently fled to New York, shonld be arrested and placed on trial for com plicity in the offence, but the Home office declined to give its sanction to this course. He also asserted that; .Lord Salisbury directly advised the absconding of Lord Somerset, and when the latter gentleman returned to London sometime after the scandal was reported for the purpose of attending a funeral, the police urged that he should be arrested, bnt Mr H. Mathews, the Home Secretary, refused to give his assent. In tbe course of his remarks Mr Labouchere denied that Prince Albert Victor was connected with the scandal, and in con clusion he demanded that a Oommittee should be appointed to investigate the whole matter, and also as to Lord Salisbury's criminal conspiracy. Sir B. Webster, the Attorney-General, traversed the hon gentleman's state ment,

Mr Laboachere declined to accept this denial and, declared his disbelief of Lord Salisbury's assertion of innocence in the matter. Being requested, to withdraw the latter remark he persistently refused, and was suspended for a week. Mr J. Morley admitted that* Sir R. 8.. Webster dissipated many rumors.

THE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT.

(pxb press AsaooiAriov.)

Brisbane, March 1

News of a shipping disaster, attended with sad loss of life, has reached hare. The British and Indian Company's bteawer Quettai, on her homeward voyage, struck a rock, which it is said is not marked on the chart, near Cook tcwn, with terrible force, splitting her completely thrcu gh. There was fearful confusion among; the passengers, who rushed about the deck wildly in despair, ciying for help. The vessel sank in three minutes after striking, A large number of those on board went down with the vessel. The location of the disaster is in the vicinity of Mount Ad alphas and Two Brothers Island. The captain wires to the agents— ''Struck at nine last night; appalling loss of life; 100 saved." 'No farther purticalars are yet to hand.

Brisbani, itfftfch 2

There is terrible excitement here over the wreck of the "steamer Quetta, inas much as she was a full ship wii\h over a hundred passengers on board, including a large number of well known citizens who were going home on a visit. Her crew consisted of about thirty European officers and ninety five colored mt *n. The ship was valued at £65,000, am 1 is not insured. The following is a list of her passengers :—Saloon—Meedames Pren tice, Cooksley, Waugh, Talbott, .Boss, Watson, Barlow, Poland, Nicklin, Lord, HThish, Archer and Lacy, Hisses vVright (2), Nicklin (2), Captain t^hish, Messrs Watson, X4ape, Da\ rson, N icklin, Archer, BlackforcJ, George, Prentice," Benton, Hall, Debney and yordeford, Mr and Mrs Corser and diild, Mr and Mrs Davids and c> txild, Jfaster Lord. Steerage—Mesda ones Jbckson and family, Wilett and fat) aily, Copeland and three children, Lewis, Cross and child, Woodhall, David toon aid children, Coombe and two child) ren, Irightman and two children, Mnises Villiams, Smith and Whitby, Messrs Oreen and wife ; W. Rathall, wife aad ciild, McSaddery, wife and two children, thekson, , Oarner, Ashford, Mooire, Jbffers, Alban, Cameron, Dunn, Hurst, leilly, Gregory, Searle, Murphy, Fulton, lain, Marshall, Glasgow, Davidson.

The steamer Merrie England, which, his returned from Thursday Island, siarctied several of the Islands for sur- Tiors, but without snecess. The totaL nimber of souls on board so far as is, kiown, was 282, of whom 116 wero stved, leaving 166 to be accounted for, al of whom are supposed to be drowned. Optain Saundera and Pilot Keatin;; wire on the bridge with bright mooni j, li jb.t, fine weather, and calm Bea. Theire wis no apparent danger. The vessel struck a rock six miles from Mount | Alolphus on the quarter, and ripped the j wiole side out of her. Nearly all the pffisengers were on deck at the time, and a panic ensued, the passengers scram blng into the boats heedless of the commands of the captain and officers, wlo remained cool throughout the ex citing time. In less time than it takes to relate the wreck the Quetta sank amidst the cries of those who were left on board in a helpless condition. A large number of both passengers and crew were swallowed up in the vortex, never to risa again ; while others floated about and were picked up as quickly as circumstances would allow. Some of those reported missing may reach ad jacent islands, but hope is very remote. Those saved are Miss Nicklin and a baby girl, Messrs Corser, Clarke, Renton, Sladert, Davidson, Wrathall,* Gregory, Cameron, Ashford, Murphy, Train, Dunn, Debney, the captain and officers, 23 Lascars, 25 colored firemen, 11 saloon boys, 3 Cingalese deck pas sengers, 28 Japanese deck passengers. Pilot Keating and all the ladies in the saloon were drowned except one.

The Captain states that he was on the bridge with the pilot when the vessel struck. He at once rushed to the end of the saloon deck, and in structed the chief officer to get tbe boots ont. Ho then rushed forward, and as be found the ship settling by the head, endeavored to got the womon into the boats, but sbe sank rapidly, and he had only time to climb iota the rigging.

hrovf aimaelf into the water when

s era of the stammer rose completely out of the water. The vessel then heeled orer and went down, the whole time not occupying more than three minutes from the time of striking. He un dressed himself in the water and swam about for half an honr before being picked up by a lifeboat which was already full of people, and the water which was rather broken, was washing over the gunwales. All hands but four jumped gut of the boat with the view of having her bailed out, but the state of the water prevented this being attained, and all got into the boat again. Thi3 boat reached land at one in the morning, one of the other life boats reaching shore before it, and the captain at once gave orders for it to go out and search for survivors. She returned fall, having picked up all visible. After the vessel struck the men rushed to the boat stations and cleared them and to this action is attributed the launching of two boats, otherwise the loss of life would have been far greater. Not a vestige of i the vessel remains.

How they communi cated it to the Taupo natives is not known, unless it was that they were then ignorant of ins conditions under which it was communicable ; but from this it Is. quite evident that, it can be communicated. Such being the case, it behoves the Government to isolate the lepera' from the rest of the oomraanlty, fer it isweli known that medical science has failed en irely to find any care for thu awful disease, the more awful from tho faot that it may last upon one for >x toen or seventeen years before death merclfnlly pnta an end to the patlamt'a Haffevlngs, for d jring that long period oot UfciaUy din bj logbft.

WESLEYAN MISSIONARIES AND THEIR WORK

(Bey H, Bud's Conference Lecture )

Missionaries are a powerful division of the. aggressive forces of Methodic m« "The instinct of missionary affactoa us an ingredient of Christian character. Do we admire and feel attracted by^mieejftP aries? They are knigbt-errants of the faith; leaders of the forlorn hope ; bearers of the flat; of the cross throaiju the storms of battle.

Quit you like men.—l. Coh. j^ir !>■* t ~ At morning service on-Subdiy, thevKethEL A. Scott preached the fo lowing special sermon in St Stephen's, the occasion being a parade for Divine Service by the Ashburtbn volu*l

teers: — . , ' " Quit you like men," says St Paul, in that martial language which flows so natuiilly from his martial spirit. Be men, live likemen, can*  duct Yourselves like men : words to be reniem* : bered and pondered upon. They were wnkten to the band of Christians in the great cfy4of ' '■ Counth—-a city noted for its population, its wealth, its wickedness/ its unutterable .vice. '_ There they were, this comparatively littltlnd of disciples of Christ, alone in' the 1 great town, ;' surrounded by adverse influences, exposed c to < ' : numberless temptations—a few against tittlfr. .<. How great their danger, leit they should fall ' away from Christ No wonder St Paul appeals to them to watch, to hold fast: to tfaekvjuth, to be manful and brave, to be stiong. Quit you like men 1 Let us think of the woids. They are an exhortation to true.jaanlineis. We are to quit ourseivas ia a manful"manner'" -V —as true men should quit themselves. Man* liness 1 What is it ? What do we mean by it ? Ha/ewe ever thought of,the question sad tried t j fiad out what kind of a beiiig''«;' j trme, man should be ? Are not many of us ''content < with a very poor, idea of maulinest,^ anaV'.ila consequence, inclined to quit ourtllveftlike - very poor kind of men? Manliness ~'i*lmhi* •:• than most people think it.' It ii aorc:thaa>to ' be physically brave; more than'to bclmifeito hold our own against all comers, and to ; fight ' our own battles; more than to stand on oar dig iity, and hold to our rights; more than to be free of all control, and able to adopt OUT own modes of living; Manliness! Is not saaali* ness the full idea of manhood; of whatjpan* hood should be and is capable of becoming f*l will give|yon a better answer. Manlinass'is Jesus Christ. He who " puU on" the tori Jesus Chtist; he is the most manly of mesu > Oh, if we really .believed that Jczus was^the perfect type of true and glorious manhood, ' what a change would there be in the world and in our lives. I sieak this morning e4pecially : to our Volunteers—to those who. are, pledged,; ' should occasion arse, to offer up their Hires an a sacrifice for the safety of their country.VSurety it is natural that soldiership and r man ines:l • should be interchangeable term*. Surely d>eV j;; of all mep, should.try and find out what trait ■■ manliness is, so that, in peace and war alike, j , (uey may ever quit themselves like t>ue menV • i^et us taink ut some of the elements oftru.it manliness. And, first, :tr .c manhood and , courage can never be separated. Courage its an essential part of manhood.; Need X remind' you of the:courage,of- Jes«» on.earth,'^ltia ' not obtrusive. it does not force itself vpoa your attentfon. It is never boastful. Still* it pervades all his life, tain, danger, opposition, never moved him, from the '•' ' path he had laid down' for him self. Courage—physical, moral, spiritual marked his whole existence on earth. >;And it is a virtue which no soldier is likely to under* rate. C<>wardte is the vice he most dreads— any stigma rather than that. We cannot taink for a moment that among our citizen soldiery, should the day of battle arrivty there would be Jack of courage. You would, I . think, quit yourselves like men, Yet physical courage is not a thing to ba-st ourselves of ■ before hand. Few men, I imagine, for the, < first time hear the whistle of bullets or^tbe roar of cannon.without experiencing fear or' eve a terror. But courage is pc feat y coincident ' with fear. I repeat that again—courage is perfectly coincident with fear. The perfectly orave man is not he who knows no dread, but he whose sense of duty triumphs over dread* Our Lord Himself on one occasion* showed

that He knew what fear was. It wu in the Garden of tiethsemane, on the ere of the Crucifixion. The future, with its untold, im* measurable suffering, weighed upon him with so terrible a weight that, we are; told, his sweat was as it were great drops Of blood, That pure, refined nature of' His shrank from the oideal, He looked hither and thither to see if there might not. be some right and- jaw* ■ - ful way of escape—" If it be possible s&fthta cup pass from Me "; such were his words,' But did his fear prove alack of courage? f Un« believers, who long, above all things fb con" vince Christ of imperfection, maintain that it ■ did. But they are wrong. His fear was per fectly coincident with utter courage* His will triumphed gloriously over his fear. " Not My will but Thine, be done." He could have escaped the suffering had He wished; bat the most solemn sense of duty, forbade it; and so he quietly turned his face to the agony before him, becoming thus the very emboduaeot Of courage. ... 1,,.* If you want to quit yourselves like mm * in- the day of battle, you must, learn^to quit yourselves like men in your" daily'lives. If the word "duty " has never had any hold upon you now, how aui it inspire you fally then* This is why a Christian man is sore to be courageous in the day of battle. It is not because he is naturally braver than others. He may possibly be a timid man. But he "has been a pupil in the school of Christ. He hat learat that he is not his own master to do what he likes. He has learnt to obsy the; voice of his master, Christ. However 4is~ agreeable, however painful, may be a particular course of action, he tries to follow it '^ The • voice of duty, becomes'paramount* He has learnt to go where, and to do what, God bids him.. Yon see then why a Christian man must be a brave earthly soldier. ' He has been trained in the' school of obedience.' That ' which is tight most be done at all risks, whatever result may happen. And thus,irilit becomes • his duty to take his , place in;.im earthly b«ttlc, ioweverL. mi^ch his fleinumay shrink, however much he buy fear a»tli. these — feelings are allowed to have no influence. Long obedience to Jesus Christ, many victories over sin and inclination, have prepared him for deeds of earthly valour, however strong map be his timidity. If I were bidden to choose the soldier among you whom I thought would most likely, win the Victoria Crosi, did- the opportunity come, I think I would go to. one of. your Volunteer Encampments.' t'Wtald ' observe who was tht most assiduous in obey ing regulations, who' cared least fbr-pubMc opinion, who had the most backbone,,,wfeo I showed most openly his abhorence of tool taft; he, in short, who adhered most bravely to the simple rules of Christian duty; and I think I should not be far wrong in selecting him as the bravest man. For independence of action, as it was a prominent feature in the courage.ot Jesus' Christ, so must it be of all courage. . Qt» brethrsn, how many thitk they are brave and full of manliness, .and yet when it comes t* the point of keeping to what they know to be 1 right, of resisting the opposition of others, are quite unable to quit themselves like men. I am sure, then, that that true moral courage l which is ever found in Christian men,/ is' apt 1 only of infinite value in itself, but even leadstop to physical courage. Secondly, ' there'ts another feature of true manliness. Did %<Sta ever read the story of Bayard, ..Jhat marvellously brave French soldier of the '15th' century., Or did you ever, read Tennyson's poems—those called the? 1 idylls of the, King," —which tell of the old days of chivalry and knighthood. There was one common feature in Bayard, and in' those warlike Knights of whom Tennyson sings, and that was their purity, their reverence for womanhood. Nothing detracts from all true manliness more than impurity—than foul deeds and speeches. Manliness and courage are rightly associated together; but more rightly still, manliness and ' purity. A friend told me one day that while he and four or five others were in a tent.at a North Island encampment, an officer, a hifh officer, entered and regaled them with,some story which had no right to be uttered. How was it that he dared to tell the story? Was it that from experience he knew the prevailing tone of morality among Volunteers? Surely ■ not * lam not here to utter accusations oq patter? pf which I m igwruW Vft bOW \
