THE BAPTIST TABERNACLE

£a,t night, a praise and thanksgiving ser • M was hold in tho Tabernacle in connsc tion with its opening, but the attendance ffa s only moderate. Mr Spurgeoa again ypd^nd.as on tho preceding evening lv ,118 supported on tho platform by the Beys P. H. Cornford, Woolloy, Jones, Pairb'rothor, Wilson, and Driver. After o-aiße and prayor tho pastor rend as lesson file W2nt* J>sftJm: an^ then in his introduc tory speech availed himself of the oppor tunity to tliank all who had assisted them t) complete tho work on which they had a) t their hearts, faith had now given nacs to clour-sigh ted knowledge, nudhavwg cad a look at tho linnneial statement ana oitimates that morning, ho could sr.y that tho wipi"B out ot tho tiobt might be re ■nrdod us an accomplished fact, ilo hoped that this would not induce them to relax (heir efforts that night, or at tho soiree or the Sunday services, but that it would simply show them that tho clearing off of 1 ho dobt was now possible and practicable. Ihero was now no fear that in accordance with their solemn vow to open the church f ; -ee of debt thoy would havo to shut i'u door; in tho faces of tho people. During th.aweok he hnd recoived donations from Various quarters, but ho would only mention one, as tho gentleman had never boon in thecolony. Mr(-ibeon, of Launcestoit, who had already subscribed £200 to tho Tuber naclo building fund, sent another X'3o «to fill up a corner," aa ho phrased it. He had had a look lately at tho circular issued by tho Rev. A, \V. Webb in IS7'J, showing tho nocessity for tho Baptists fcaving a now mid largor place of worship, us tho seats of Wellesley-streot Church were all occupied, and tho building would not last without repairs move than half-a-dozen years more. Mr Webb hnd proved a prophet, and ho and thoso then surrounding him, who initiated tho new building fund, vereontitled to eharo largely in tho credit of what had beon subsequently accomplished. The other pastors upon tlio platform than addressed tho mooting, congratulating the congregation on behalf of their various churche9 upon tho successful achievement of its great and onorous undertaking. The Rev. 11. Driver (pastor-eleot of the Wellington Baptist Church) read a ttlo eratn which ho had recoived from the Church Sccretftry :—"Give our heartiest congratulations on opening, and wish tliom God speed." He had great pleasuro, as his first ministerial act, on behalf of tho Wel lington Baptist Church, to tender their Congratulations. In closing tho eorvico, .Mr Spurgeon prosontcd as his gift to the Tabernacle a pulpit tablo with reading «tesk, both being fiwihnth.i of thoso in use in the Metropolitan Tabornaclo. Tho desk bears a silver plato with inscription, «' Presented by tho pastor to tho church and congregation." The pro ceedings ended with tho bonodiction. Although tho congregation was not half so large as that of tho previous evening, the collection yielded £30. The opening soiree and public meeting take place this evening in the Tabernacle, and ou this occasion the financial statement of tho Buildiug Fund will be read

Sir Julius Vogel's Bating Proposals.

(To the Editor.)

S'K, —I observe that the Colonial Treasurer has made a proposal to the Borough Council to the following effect, vi«, ;—"lf the Go vernment increase the rating limit within boroughs from jd in the £ on tho capital value to Id in tho £, would the borough adopt the Government assessment, and tfeerebysavo to the borough tho oxpenso of the annual assessment!" To thia tho Town CSerk, by request of the Mayor, has written a memorandum in which ho states that it would be desirable if tho Bating Act, 1882, is so altered as to enable tho borffiiKh to levy on the annual valiro instead of tho capital value, and annually instead of evevy third year, The answer "to thi? Ie that the borough will be a loser by not adopting the Rating Act, 1882, and to prove the correct ness of my position, I propose taking the Grafton 'A'ard assessment, as made by tiie borough valuer, and the Government assessment, as made by myself. In ISS2 (the date of the last Government assess ment) the capital assessable value was £206,324. Not being able to obtain the borough annual assessible valuo for 1882-;?, I place it at the same »s it was in 1883-4, viz., £i:f,502; ISS3-1, £13,502 ; 1884 f>, £14,586, which will give In average annual value of ,€l4,sS(> for three years against tho Govornment capital valuo of the same time; so that wo hnve borough rate at Is in tho £ on £13,863, yielding £693 3s; the Government rate at Id in the £on £206,324 yielding £859 15? 3d, being »Josßto the borough of £168 12s 3d per annum, or £499 16a 9d for the three j ear?. With reference to the Town Clck's state ment " that it is desirable that in boroughs Where the changes are so numerous there «hould be an annual valuation," I say that the Hating Act, 1882, provides for all the alterations required. The Town Clerk, to prove himeolf right, gives as an instance the following example, viz. : A property oftheannual value of £100, rated at Is in the£, yields £5, the capital valuo of which property, say at even 10 per cent., would l» £1,000, and if rated Id in the £, would only yield £4 3s 4d. But how about tho de piction of 20 par cent, required to be made from the annual valuo under the Rating Act,lS76 ? If we deduct the 20 per Cent, from the £100 annual value, it only leaves £80 for taxation, which, at Id in tho £, yiolda £4 instead of £5, making thereby tloesto the borough of 33 4d. Again, if thfl Tonn Clerk intends the £100 annual Value to be £100 not, then he must add £200 to his £1,000, making £1,200, yield ing £5, So much for bis example. Now ' tnth regard to tho fluctuation in value of property, if the Town Clerk had said rise, itoonld be understood ; but as to fluctua tions within the last two or threo years, it fa a thing almost unprecedented. Kelative to the fluctuation in leasehold property, tie Town Clerk has shown himself either ignorant of the correct way vl assessing leasehold property, or the memo, under consideration must havo been written without givirjg tho subject any con eideratton; for it does not make the slightest difference whether tho leasehold is worth £1,000 the first year, or £100 the second, f or £10 the third, if tho property is properly aseesied on its capital value, which is the . value of the fee simple, as if there were ;so lease in existence. With reference to the I assessments for water supply by meter. I do not see how assessments of either free hold or leasehold property, either annual or triennial, can affect water sold by mete-, nor is it possible to finJ in tho Rating Act, 1878, power to make special valuations for water Bupply; so that when tho Town Clerk toys that within the last twelve months . there havo been noar 500 special assess ,, mente made for water supply, I can only place these assertions with his opening ;', remark, viz., "valuation made not oy the ;, most experienced persons," "the capital Talne assessment making more office work." j. In conclusion, I must say that when an offer is made to relievo the borough of an »nnual charge of between £250 and £300, itahoald bo treated with more consideration ;,, than it i? evident the Town Clerk has given -tptheHon.Colonial Treasurer's communica ; tion.-lam, etc., John S. Duke.

A VICTORIAN UNKNOWN OF PROMISE CASE.

Tho Mino Manturer and the Widow.

TnR case Of Flamstoad v. Briggs, in which tho plaintiff claims £1,200 damages for broach of promise of marriage, was hoard in tho Supremo Court, Melbourne, recently, beforo Mr Justice Williams and a special jury of six. Mr Walsh and Mr Goldsmith appeared for tho plaintiff, and Mr J. T, T. Smith and Mr Isaacs for the defendant. The plaintiff waa a widow named Caroline Annie Flumstcad, and tho defendant was Uoonje Brings, a mining manager at Heath i-ucu. The oaie for the plaintiff was that in June last sho corresponded with tho dofend unt in roforenco to entering into his service .is huusokeepcr, and on tho 2nd Julj tho defendant camo to town and engaged hor in thut capacity. Tho plaintiff went to the defendant's house in Hoathcoto shortly after wards, uud whon she had been in his service fv_r about throo weeks he askod her to marry him, but the plaintiff refusod, as she thoueht that it would offend his family, nnd also that tho oiler was premature. She accord ingly told him ho had better wait till they knew more of each other. It was then ar ranged that she should make an effort to cue for him, on condition that he did not refer to tho matter for some weeks, so as to give her an opportunity of studying his disposition and character. In the second wook in August he wrote to Mis Cresswell, •» friend of the plaintiff's, asking her to make arrangements for the mar riage. Ho told plaintiff that the first time he saw her he was determined ehe should be his wife if love and kindness could win hor affection. On tho 10th August she promised to marry him, and on the following day he wrote to his young ost daughter, who was in Sandhurst, to acquaint hor with tho fact. Somo weeks afterwards the defendant told plain till' quietly that ho had changed his mind, as tho family did not approve of tho mar riage i that his daughters thought there was too much cf the lady about her for him, and he thought ao too ; and that now they know he intended to be married, his daughters would bo glad to go to Heath cote and keop house for him. He said he must forego his intention to marry, and the plaintiff had better write to her friends telling them to put off tho arrangements. Tho defence was that, though the defen dant had made the offer as alleged in tha first place, ho had beon refused, and had never renewed the offer. Several witnesses who wero called on his behalf,detailed con versations which they had with tho plaintiff after hor return to town, and tho general onor of this evidence was to show that she had no affection for the defendant, and would not marry him under any circum stances. She stated on soveral occasions that she would not marry Buch "an ugly old beast," who "put his knife in his mouth and his tooth on the mantelshelf."

Goorgo Briggs, the defendant, stated that ho engaged the plaintiff as working housekeeper in July, 1884. Hio complained of the loneliness of the place, and with his consent she sent for one of her daughters to come and stay with her. Some time after wards he took her to Sandhurst on a visit to his daughters, who treated her with marked coolness, and she complained of this at the time. A few days after their return he drove hor into Hcathcote in order to bo present at the wedding of his nephew. They returned homo, and in the evening each of them had four glasses of whisky toddy. Aftar the second glass she knelt down near the fire, as it was a cold wintry night. She pulled his head down towards her and kissed him, saying that she had felt tempted to do this the first time they mot. Ho paid her a number of compliments during the ovening, and finally, after the fourth glass of toddy, he asked hor whether she would not like to exchange the position of housekeeper for that of mistress. She replied that Bho thonght their tompors and disposi tions wore incompatible, and beaidei sho could not accept, him in consequence of the manner in which she had been treated by his family. Sho concluded by saying that ho had bettor go to bed, as it was past olovon o'clock. From that time tho offer of marriage was never renewed. Borne days later he received a letter from his sob, in consequence of which he in formed her that tho best thing sho could do would bo to go away from Heathcoto, as his family wore opposed to tho connection. At first *ho said she would go, but after wards expressed her intention of waiting till tho two months had oxpirod. Ono nii^ht beforo sho left he wont to bod without Hi^hing her good night. Sho camo into the kitchen, which adjoined his room, and asked if sho might come in. He replied that ho was in bed, but she might come in if she liked. She entered the apartment, and said she might sco him some day an old tottering man with none to care for him. She then bont over and kissed him, saying, "With all thy faults I love thee still." He positively denied her statements as to sub sequent offers of marriage, and stated that he had nover proposed to present her with an engagement ring or a sewing machine. In cross-examination the dcfondant said he had only made the offer of marriage on the occasion referred to, and he woula not have made it then only for the whisky. The whisky did not make him drunk, but in cautious. At the conclusion of the evidence the jury returned a verdict for plaintiff for £200 and costs.

THE SYDNEY TROOPS IN THE SOUDAN.

Description of Recent Movements.

Newspaper "Specials" In Danger.

(liV THE ".SYDNEY NEWS1' COIUiESI'ONDENT.)

Scaki.m, May 6. A eucomsaissance was made last night extending to Thalrub, a native village some milos beyond Ha^keen. The force camelry (including the lately-formed New South Wales corps), the mounted infantry and the Bengal Lancers. After inarching through the night, taking the utmost care to guard against surprise, and having scouts well in front and on their flanks, the troops arrived at Thalrub just as the day was dawning. Tho natives at once showed a hostile frost, and being attacked by our men, a pretty sharp encounter ensued during which tifty of the onemy wero killed. A great number wounded, and twelve prisoners. Two hundred goats and a number of donkeys wore taken possession of. The fight was not a very long one, but waß rather warm while it lasted. Tho Arabs retired beaten, and escaped into the moun tains, whore, of course, they were not foilowed up, the British force being only a small one; and the object of tha reconnaissance so far being fully at tained, the village was burned and tuereturn march. That tho return march was begun nono too soon was ehown by what hap pened so the Sydney press correspondent. Directly tho fight at Thalrab had ter minated they jumped on their horses and rjde back to .Haskeen to be firtt to bring the news. Before they had gone far, they became unpleasantly aware that they were being watched and followed by arabs scouts and when about half - way a number of Arabs closed in upon them yelling and brandishing their spears, throwing those shorter spears like assoßais, and fixing their rOleu. The Arabs wore on camels, and it became a caso sante quo pent with the newspaper men. They eat down in their uaddles, rammed homo the persecutors, and did tho fastest match against tiuio and Arab cainelH that they had thought poeaiblo. As it was they had a pretty narrow squeak of it as tho children of the doßert succeeded in getting tolerably close to them more than onco, and bullets, spear?, and camol sticks flew aronud them as thickly as tho rice and flowers that were strewn upon the contingent when it marched down Sydney streets. The newspaper men escaped not wholly scatheless, however, for Mr Lambie, of the "Sydney Morning Horald," was wounded in the leg. The affair was quite lively enough for the correspondents, however. The casualties among the troops during the reconnaissance and hVht were not serious; only three men havin" been wounded, and none of these be longed to the New South Wales Corp?. AJsecond reconnaissance will probably be made.
