IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

London, August 9. The House of Lords has adjourned ui.fl the 22nd. Government enforced the closure on Mr Chaplin's motion, condemning the closing of the Indian mints. In the House of Commons Mr Macartney moved an amendment to the Rome Rule Bill similar to that of Mr Balfour, which Mas struck out on Monday owing to the absence of the latter. The debate had been adjourned, and Government ac cepted the amendment compelling members of the Irish Parliament to take an oath of allegiance and another amendment excluding priests from sitting in Parliament. London, August 10. In the Home Rule debate, Mr Chamberlain made a violent attack on Mr Gladstone for retaining Irish members in the Imperial Parlia ment. The Premier frequently inter rupted him, and to admit the accuracy of quotations from his previous speeches. The Convention of Paraellites in Dublin passed a resolution that no Bill would be acceptable which did not fulfil the conditions which Mr Parnell demanded in 1891, and that no settle ment could be considered final until the prisoners now in confinement were amnestied, and the claims of evicted tenants satisfied. The quarrel between Mr Chamber lain and Mr O'Brien has been ad justed. Mr Broadwick denies that he was chased into a farm-house by an indignant audience in con sequence of his attack on Mr Glad stone. (Received August 11,10.50 a.m.) London, August 10. In the House of Commons, Mr McCartney's amendment to the Home Rule Bill was rejected by a majority of 40.

Presbyterian Church.

A PASTOR CHOSEN.

A well attended congregational meeting tv held last evening in the Ashburton Presbyterian Church for the purpose of electing a minister to fill the present vac ancy. The Rev. Gordon Webster, of St. Andrew's, Christchurch, acting Moderator of session, presided. After devotion 9, The Moderator said that as they all knew, the session and committee had decided to close the time for hearing candidates for the pastorship of the church. He was pleased to see such a large and representative meeting, as showing the interest taken in the selec tion of a minister. Their method of doing this was one of the distinctive fea tures of the Presbyterian Church, and up to the present time, though there had fen many changes in this as in other churches, none had in the least degree gone in the direction of altering that principle. The real effect of that method was that the people chose their minister instead of accepting one chosen by a few in authority as was the case in other de nominations. There had been a vacancy for four months, and during that time they bad heard a number of good and able men who had been invited to come and preach to them, and now they would bo askod to vote for the man of their choice. In doing so, however, they must »3fc not only as individuals with wngle^wifihesjtmt as members of a body will united interests. The first step would be to agree to the action of the session and committee in closing the time for hearing candidates and to signify their intention of selecting a minister from those available. Mr A. Orr moved and Me McCallum seconded "That this congregation pro ceed to elect a minister." The motion was carried. Mr Baxter proposed that the Rsv. G. B. Inglis be elected. They had during the pa^t four months heard several excellent and good men, but the Rev. Mr Inglis in particular had shown himself to be bright, earnest, energetic and full of sympathy, and had won the good opinions of a large majority of the congregation. Mr Doak seconded the motion, which was carried by an almost unanimous vote. Mr Craighead moved, and Mr Houston seconded, thai the Rer. G. B. Inglis be declared duly elected. The motion wa3 carried unanimously and it was further resolved, in accordance with custom that this congrogation apply to the Presbytery to moderate in a call. The Moderator then asked that the minister's stipend be fixed, as that also was a definite arrangement required to be made afc that meeting ; and on Mr Orr's motion it was decided that thd stipend he £850 per year. ; The Moderator then congratulated the congregation on (heir choice, and on their unanimity, and it boded well for the future of the minister and congregation when his election was so unanimous. Personally he did not; know very mucb of the Rev G. B. Ir-glis, except that he had well represented the Gtago Synad at the Assembly, but he knew his father inti mately, who had been minister of Edzall, a pretty little village on the SSoutheek, in the Presbytery of Brechin. ("Ah! Judging from the elevation of Mr Dunn s eyebrows he evidently knew him, too ! " —lausjhter)—and he could assure them that he came of a good stock. There was also the Providential aspect in their choioe. The Rev Mr Inglis' name had not been on the original list of those invited, but had been added subsequently, and the finger of God could be often distinctly traced in accidents of this kind. After the rev. gentleman had concluded an exoellent and instructive speech, lady members of the Church handed round tea and refreshments to those present, which were particularly welcome to the Wakanui and other friends from a distance, as a fortification for their long drive home.

EGYPTIANS IN AMERICA.

The evidences of an ancient population in America, anterior to the American Indians, are afforded by the discovery of tumuli mounds, catacombs, fortifications, &c, and whenever plots of ground struck out, i«*o circles, ovals, and squares have been kzzl which bear evidence of having been the work of an unknown race, it may be taken for granted that they refer to an era when a nation existed given to architectural and agricultural pursuits. It is recorded that in Kentucky, on the site of the city of Lexington, was found, amid the ruins of an ancient town, a catacomb formed in the bowels of the limestone rock, about fifteen feet below the surface of the earth. This discovery was made in 1775, by some of the first settlers, whose curiosity was excited by something remarkable in the char acter qf the stones which covered the en trance to the cavern. They removed these ■tones and came to others of singular appear for stones in a natural state, the removal of which laid open the mouth of a cave, deep, gloomy, and terrific as they supposed. With augmented numbers and provided with lights, they descended and entered ■ spacious hall, the sides and extreme ends of which were formed into niches occupied by figures representing men. When the senti ment of dismay and surprise permit ted further research the figures were found to be mnm mies, preserved by the art of embalming known among the ancient Egyptians 2000 years before the Christian era. Unfortunately for science, this discovery was made when war was being carried on between the Indians and the whites, and tht power of the natives was displayed in 10 savage a manner that the whites were filled with revenge. Animated by the vindictive spirit, the discoverers of the catacomb hesi tated not to wreak their vengeance even on tht mommies, supposing them to be of tht same Indian race with whom they were at war. They dragged them out to the open air, tore the bandages open kicked the bodiei into dust, and made a bonfire of the re mains. The North American Indians did not form eataoombs of their dead, nor were they fami liar with tha art of embalming, but they Egyptians, according to Herodotus, who lived 450 b.0., had three methods of embalming. Diodorus, who flourished in the time of Julius Caesar, observes that the ancient Egyptians had a fourth method of greater superiority, and it is quite possible that then American mummies were preserved after that very manner. If the Egyptians were renowned as the first of nations, and if from them was derived a knowledge of navigation, architecture, &c, why may not the author! of this tomb have been an Egyptian colony? By consulting ancient history we find that the Egyptians as early as 1485 b. c. had ship ping, and mention is made ofSanus, who, with his fifty daughters, sailed into Greece. Nine centuries later we find the Egyptians, under the direction of Necho, their king, fitting out a fleet, with orders to sail from the Bed Sea around the continent of Africa and to return by the Mediterranean. The vessels probably sailed from Suez, passed through the Bed Sea and the Gulf of Aden into the Indian Ocean, thence around the Cape of Good Hope into the South Atlantic, thence along the African coast on the west side until they arrived at Cape Verd, where they would be opposite Cape St Eoque. Such is the operation of the waters, that from the west coast of Africa there is a con stant current of sea flowing toward South America, so that if an eastern storm had driven a ship far into the Atlantic ocean, it would certainly reach the shores of the American Continent if it did not go to the bottom of the sea. Professor Guyot states that the south branch of the equatorial current proceeding westward from the African ooast crosses the basin of the Atlantic, to the opposite shore of South America, where at Cape St. Boque it divides, one branch flowing southward, form ing the Brazil current, and the other moving to the north-west, called the Guiana current, which runs from Cape St. Koque northward across the mouth of the Amazon, along the coast of Guiana, and uniting with the waters of the north equatorial in the Carib bean Sea, enters the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf Stream, which originates in the Gulf of Mexico, is the outlet of the accumulation of the waters of the equatorial current in the Gulf of Mexico, and at the island of Cuba its course is changed to the north by striking against the Bahama banks. It then rapidly flows along the coast of the United States, gradually expanding in volume and diminish ing in velocity as it proceeds northward. Beaching the latitude of New York, it turns eastward and crosses the Atlantic basin to the island of Azores. Here it divides, the main branch, bending its course southward, enters the tropical regions on the coast of Africa, and is swept back by the force of the north equatorial current to the Gulf of Mexico. Thus a great whirlpool ia formed far out in the ocean, in the midst of which is accumulated vast quantities of sea-weed. The northern branch continues its course to the British Isles and Norway. If the Egyptians who sailed in King Necho's fleet were indeed the first pf that race to land upon American shores, which may or may not have been the case, their voyage from Cape Yerd, Senegambia, to Cape St. Boque, Brazil, if made in a direct line, would have been 14,225 miles shorter than the one embraced in the orders under which they sailed, Although the compass as an aid to navigation was then unknown, yet the Egyptians were skilled in a know ledge of the heavenly bodies, And made us* of it in their journeys by sea. Professor Shaler, referring to pre-historic remains of man in Kentucky, says: « There is no reason for supposing that an antiquity of 3000 or 4000 years would not embrace all the human events in this loca lity." Not so long a time is required upoa which to base an opinion that Kentucky was the home of Egyptians many centuries be fore the Christian era.— General Charles W, Darling, in N. Y. Journal.
