ALEXANDRIA, August C,

Accounts to hand of the battle between tho British and Arab forces at Kamleb, show that after some severe fighting tho enemy's advanced post on the left was driven in and fell back, and Arabi was then compelled to deploy the whole of his available forco in front of Kafradowar. Tho British artillery and infantry followed up, and tho former were soon able to silence the enemies guns at Kafradowar; but the infantry, in taking up their posi tion, had vory difficult ground to cover, and were unable to take full advantage of their gain. Splendid Behaviour of the Marines. Sir Archibald Alison's Marines, on the enemy's right, behaved splendidly, and drove the Egyptians back to their second lines. The marines Buffered somewhat during the engagement. The Troops Withdrawn, The object.of recona'ssance having been gained, the British withdrew.from their position at nightfall.

BAY OF ISLANDS COAL COMPANY.

Thk annual meeting of the Buy of Islands Coalmining Company was held to-day, Mr J. C. Firth, Chairman of Directors, pre siding. The report and balance-sheet were read as follows :—

"In presenting their report for the halt year just ended, the directors regret that, though there haa been an increasing demand for coal during that period, they have been unable to cope with the same, the sales amounting to only 19,850 tons. Ibis is mainly duo to the adverse circumstances under which the mine has been worked, I owing to the seam of coal passing through faulty or disturbed ground. In the upper portion of this fault the seam has been again struck, and is of fair size, clean, and of excellent quality. When theße workings are further opened up it is to be hoped that a large area of coal will be available in this direc tion, from which ample supplies can be obtained to meet all demands, while at the same time the other levels can be advan tageously pushed forward through the lower line of fault. Boring operationa have been steadily carried on, but, so far, without any tangible result; the peauliar formation of the stxata, met with in No, 1 Hole, preventing any reliable data being obtained tUerefrom. JNo. 2 Hole is down some distance, and from this the manager anticipates hotter results. The accounts horcwith will show that, owing to the curtailed sales and the amounts necessarily expended on prospecting opera tions, the margin of profit available does not warrant the payment of a dividend, anel the whole amouut will be cairied to the credit of the current half-year. The directors think the worst of tha difficulty has been overcome, and hope that the result of this half-year's work will fully bear out this view.—For the Directors, J. C. Firth, Chairman. Auckland, 29ih July, 1882."

The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said :—I he operations ot the Buy Coal Company for the past half-year have been embarrassed by the faulty nature of the ground, reducing the out turn from 26,818 tons of coal last half-year to 21,340 this half-year. The result leaves a margin of £1,614 9s sd, without writing off the usual 5 per cent, for depreciation. Under these circumstances, the Board has decided not to recommond the payment of a dividend, but to carry the amount, £1,614, forward to the next half-year. The manager reports the condition of the mine to be good. The excess*ve wetness of the season has taxed the pumps to the utmost. He reports the barge service and tbe railway tojbe in good order, notwith«tanding the fact that heavy floods have several times put portions of the line under water. The diamond drill purchased

from Government works well, and has been kept steadily at work. The sum of £1,030 has been expended in explorations during tha halt-year. These explorations are being vigorously prosecuted. The first diamond bore-hole was put down to a depth of 596 feet, bat without a satisfactory re sult. The second bore-hole, 800 feet further ahead, has attained a depth of 343 feet, and shows a probability that, in this part of tha field, there are reasons to hope that we are pass ing beyond the " great fault" which for so many years has so greatly impeded the successful working of this coalfield. In another part of the field I am pleased to be able to inform you that within the last ten days the seam has been recovered, ' after driving for many months through the "great fault." The thickness of there covered seam Is sft. of good clean market able coal. The manager hopes that it will increase in thickness as he gets away from the fault. Should the fault, in this part of the field, have been finally passed, the manager reports that an area of 200 to 300 acres of coal will be available withont any expenditure, beyond the ordinary cost of winning. This area, he anticipates, will give a quantity of 1,500,000 tons of available coal. An exploratory shaft is also being put down near the nati;/c village ot Waiomio, about 1J miles S.E. of the mine now being worked. This shaft is down 85 feet, and has penetrated tbe green sandstone, the invariable precursor of the coal seam on tub field. Should the pte*ent highly favourable appearances be realised, I may have the pleasure at our next meet ing of congratulating shareholders oo having won, after years of arduous and disheartening struggle.*, an avail able trea of .mo3t valuable coal of excellent quality, ea_ual to all requirements for many years to come. Notwithstanding the fact that we are not paying a dividend this half-year, I shall not hesitate to ex press our obligations to our manager, Mr T. R. Moody, to whose experience, skill, and indomitable perseverance we are so greatly indebted. Compliments te mana gers aro generally paid wbon mining opera tions go on smoothly, and yielding divi dends, a8 a matter of course, bnt thpy are often better earned by a manager who contends, with clear head and stout heart, against a host of natural difficulties, and who, if not always securing success, at least deserves it. Let me now direct your attention to certain matters which, though of more general interest, are yet of vital importance to the Bay Coal Company. The coal industry is rapidly becoming a great factor in the present and future pros perity of this colony. Successive Parlia ments and Governments have fairly recog nised the importance of the coal industry, and with a wise liberality have assisted in removing some of the obstacles which coat enterprises have necessarily to contend with in a new and unexplored country, such as this colony is. There is, however, one point which has not received tbat liberal and far-seeing con sideration to which the coal industry is, I think, fairly entitled. I refer to the "royalty " system. In the coalfields which are the property of the Government, a royalty of 4d to 6d per ton Js levied. Levied in this manner, at per ton, in the infancy of a coal enterprise, the royalty fee is an incubus, sufficient at all times to embarrass c.ial enterprises, and not unfrequently to strangle them altogether. Take, for instance, our own enterprise at the Bay coalfield. The Government, about 14 yeara ago, leased 3000 acres of land, on a small portion of which coal had been discovered. The whole of this tract is third-class land, and, without the coal, worth no more than 5i per acre or £750 iji all. Now, the com pany has already paid tbe sum of £3115 to Government as royalty fees, or more than four times the value of the whole of the freehold. Besides this large sum already paid, there Is the still larger sum of £4440 accrued royalty, which hangs like a millstone about the neak of the Bay coal enterprise. When I stato the fact that though successive Governments are said.to have expended on one coalljeld—tbe Westpoit coalfield,—the sum of £200,000, with the prospect .of being called upon to expend £40,000 more, and, as I am at present informed, without having received more than a very small return by way of interest on this expenditure, I recognisa a great, and, I think, a wise liberality on the part of the Government. But, when I turn to the Bay of Islands Coalfield in the NorthTsland, I find that, beyond a few pre liminary explorations, not one shilling has been expended in the development of the Bay coal mine, and that 6 per cent, per annum on the railway expenditure is bein.' charged and paid, as per Judge Gillies'"" award, and that, in addition, a royalty fee of 4d per ton is being levied, I do not find a liberality either great or wise. Now, if Parliament wishes to give the coal industry

—both North and South —a real impetus,let the royalty fee be levied at all coal mines »v Government laud at a per ceutage—say 12J per cent. —on all dividends or bonuses paid to shareholders. By a tomporary arrange ment a system akin to that is in opeiation at the Bay coal mines. The arrangement, as I have said, is only temporary ; but if that arrangement be terminated, and all royal ties, both accrued and accruing, be deman ded half-year by half-year, I do not hesitate to say that the Bay ceal mines would pro bably be closed. In that case, the railway expenditure alreaely incurred, the share holders' capital would be .'o3t, and a great number of workmen, largely contri buting to the revenue, would be deprived of employment. By such a system of levying royalties as i propose, the Government could uot be charged with strangling struggling coal enterprises. Ky such a system, when a coal enterprise has become a success, Go vernment would participate pan passu- in any advantage accruiag to the shareboleler*. By this plan, if dividends rose to a high level, Government would derive a large revenue, o-, if coal fell in price, or an en hanced price were paid for winnine the coal, and shareholders received no divi dends, Government would get nothing. In either case, the general public would derive the advantage, either of a substantial par ticipation in profits or of a low price for coai. I venture to hope that a fair con sideration of this proposal can hardly fail to | lead to an adjustment of the royalty ques tion, equally advantageous to coal enterprise, to Government, and to the publio at largo. Dr Campbell seconded the adoption of the report. Mr A. Boardman said he had been struck with the royalty question, and was glad that reference had been made to it. He thought they should havo made out a state ment, showing the amount of coal won, the wages paid, and the sum changed for royalty, It was a public question, and he believed if the suggestion was put in tangi ble form, it would bo supported by the ihnreholders and the public. <

The motion for tho adoption of the re ports and accounts was put and carried unanimously. Tho mooting then terminated.

MR GEO. A. BROWN ON SPIRITUALISM.

LA3T night Mr G. A. Brown delivered the second of bis course of lectures on "Spiritualism," at Abbott's Opera House. Tbe new matter introduced was a discm sion of the precise location of the spirits,, whom the lecturer denouueed as the fallen angels. Mr Brown founded his argument ou the following passage : "For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered thorn iuto chains of darkness, to be resetved unto judgment" (et seq.) 2nd Peter c. 2, v. 4. Tbe word translated "hell" is tbo Greek term Tartarus, and the foregoing text is the only place in tha Bible in which it occurs. To ascertain the meaning of tho wo'd it was therefore necessary, said Mr Brown, to enquire what the Greeks under stood by tho word. Mr Brown quoted var ious authorities, amongst them Vr. Ram sey, a convert from Spiritualism, St. Austin, Homer, Besoid, Lucian, Plutaroh, and Dr. Whately, to show that Tartarus was a region just above the earth, and within the limits ol our atmoßphers. It was into thia ntigh boarhood tbat tbe rebellious angels had boon precipitated, and hero, by employing the forces of ekctricity, mesmerism, and animal magnetism, they were enabled to I work through spiritualistic mediums and produce marvellous phenomena, including spirit photography (which Mr Brown said he fully believed was really dote.) Having thus ascertained what and where Tartarus was, Mr Brown applied tbe passage from Peter to Ephesiuns, vi, 12—" tor we wro-.tlo not against ftcab and blood, but against principalities against powers, against tbe rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness iv high placos" (i.e., wicked spirits in aerial regions.) The " aerial regions "or "heavenly places " were Tartarus, and the " wrecked spit its " were demons or lallen angels. He believed fipiritualfsm would soon spread to such an extent thai those who did not accept it would be ayery small minority. 'lhen it would culminate in Anti-Christ, the " man of siu," wao would accomplish all sorts of "lying Avonders," work miracles, call down actual fire from heaven, as Elijah did, but finally be destroyed by Christ at hia second advent. Mr Brown auuounced that next Sunday evening he would lecture on the doctiinea of Spiritualism-

Total, £146,990. . The Chairman, in moving the adoption Of the report and baltnce-sheet, said that they spoke very plainly of themselves as to the position of the company, while its pro giess was conclufively proved by the follow ing figures :—At tbe present time, the total liabilities were assessed at £37,000, and the grosi assets at £146,000, shewing a balance pf £129,000 vp. favour of the latter. When the amount for tbe dividend to be paid on 30th September, vi?., £7,734, was taken off this there was a capital balunce pf £11,962. In 1878 the capital was £68,000, and the assets £51,380 ; in 1379 and in 1880 the capital £60,000; in 1831 it was £60,400 ;in 1882 it was £88,000, and now, as before Btated, it was £116,962. Jn view of these things, it had been deemed desirable to majce the dividend for this year one of 30 per cent. In view of the gradually increasing value of timber lands, and future necessities, the directors had in creased the company's freehold estate to 2^,000 acres, which, of course, was not all bush land, affd in addition to this they had 7,000 or §,000 acres of leasehold property. A new mill had been erected at Mongonui at a cost of £7 000, and it wouH commence working about a month hence. This was practically a new business. Then, too, an eligible water frontage had been secured at Sydney. All these things, coupled with the extensive premises of the company in this city, proclaimed its lapid growth aud sound condition. The motion was thea seconded, and on being put to the meeting was carried nem. con.

Mr W. C. Daldy was re-elected a directos on the motion of Mr Wade, seconded by Mr D. B. Cruickshank, while Mr Wade was appointed auditor at an honorarium of £*?0, op tbe proposition af Mr Skinner, seconded by Mr Mijjetti.

FOUND DRO WNED.

ANOTHER dead body was discovered in the harbour by the Water Police ou Sunday morning, and conveyed to ihe morgue for identification. The body bad tho appear ance of that of a middle-agod man, clothed in a dark tweed suit, with a long monkey coat, a pair of elastic side boots, nearly new, aud n Crimean shirt. The steward of the Mendoza.it may be temoiubcred, went missing while bis vessel was in port some time ago, and from a description furnished by the captain, Sergeant Martin considered it most probable that the body found would prove to be his. The cook oi tho Mendoza, who remained in Auckland, was taken to the morgue this roorniug for the purpose of identifying the body. He said the coat and socks were similar to articles got by the steward from the captain on the voyage out. The body, however, bad been in the water so long and was so disfigured that it gave no clue to identification, The inquest was held this afternoon at Glceßon's Hotel before Dr. Pbilson, Coroner, and a jury of twelve, on a body sup posed to bo that of David Charles Murray, Mr Alfred Trotnian was chosen foreman, while Sergeant Martin represented tho Police, Tho following evidence was taken ; — Henry Martin, of tho Wator Police, de posed tbat the finding of the body of deceased was reported to him at 8.30 a.m. yesterday. On going to the place he saw the body floating. It was near tbe westerx sido of the Queen-street wharf. Had the body removed to the morgue. The body was tbat of a man very much de composed. Should think the body had been in the water three or four weeks; features were completely destroyed, and the skull nearly bare, teeth all cone. Dressed in a blue monkey jacket, tweed trousers, Crimean shirt, and cotton singlet, clastic-side boots, and blue worsted socks. Tneic were several bruises on the body. Two shillings and threepence, a small knife, and pip,! were found in tho pockets.

"Your committee have much pleasure in presenting tho balance-sheet of the club to 30th Jnne last, giving evidence, as it does, of so successful a year's transactions. Tbe subsciiptiona ate £83 more than last year, ihe Sfummer Meeting receipts were £575, and the aittuma iVieeting £163, more than last year, and although tho stakes of both meetings were larger, the result has been a surplus of £1,027, that being £342 more than last year. The balance in favour pf the Club by its operations amounts to £874. This success justifies the action of your comniittee ip entoring into a large expenditure for im proving the course. During the year they have expended £284 on boundary walls and fencing the course to prevent horses bolting ; also £906 for widening, levelling, raising rock, and other work on the course, including a good top dressing of manure. They have also expended £129 in a working plant, consisting of horse, drays, roller; harrows, &c. Your cbmin_itj;ee is con tinulng Jts work of improving tbo course and training gallops by levelling.draiaing, and turfing where required.

The regular monthly meeting of the Auckland Diocesan Clerical Society was he'd thia morning, in St. Matthew's Parson age., Sixteou clergymen, including the two arcbdeacois of the district, wcro present, tho Rev. W. TebUs being iv the chair. Tbo proceedings were preceded by the Holy Communion service in the church, at which several parishioners attended. Immediately afterwards the meeting commenced, Dr. Kidd opening an etymological discussion by the reading of a paper on the Greek word epiousion, which is translated by " daily," iv the phrase, " Give us this day our daily bread," from the Lord's Prayer. The e.sayist morely pointed out the varieties of meaning that had been attached to the term, and thu ideas patristic and otherwise tbat depended upon it, A discussion ensued in which the weight of opinion inclined to the belief that the term meant, not only "daily bread," but "daily necessities" gener ally. Another ptfer wus then introduced, the subject being the Diocesan Synod, and certain reflections thereanent. It will be discussed at tho next meeting of the Society, which takes place, on the 28th inst,, at St. Sepulchre's parsonage.
