Three vessels of war have been added to the English navy during the past week, namely, the steel armor-plated turret-ship

Sanspareil, which was launched at Black- wall; the torpedo cruiser Racoon, built at Davenport, and,’ the composite sloop Buzzard, built at Sheerness. The Sans-

pariel is the biggest ironclad ever launched in England. She isto carry two 110-tun guns, besides a powerful subsidiary arma- ment, and will be capable of a speed of seventeen knots. The estimated cust of the vessel is $825,000, but by the time she is finally put into commission the dockyard suthorities will almost certainly, with all their multitudineus and im- provements, have brought her cost up to a tull million sterling.

Rev. Mr. Percival Secedes.

Rev. Mr. Percival, pastor of the Wesleyan ‘hurch at Victoria, British Columbia, who seceded from that denomination and joined the Presbyterians, was at one time a mem- ber of the N. B. and P. E. Ll. Conference. During his pastorate in Prince Edward Island he was investigated on a rather serious charge, but the offence was not proven against him. Subsequently, when in charge of the Methodist Church at Mill- town, St. Stephen, there was trouble over money which had been bequeated for mis- oses, and which it was alleged he He refused to refund the to the Conference. Shortly after- he attached himself to the New- foundland Conference, and subsequently to the British Columbia Conference. Not- withstanding these removals the N. B.

Sir George Otto Trevelyan, speaking at the banquet of the Eighty Club a few nights ago, strongly condemned the Ceor- feion Bill as unjust and unfair to the Irish people. He believed there were not more than twenty LiberalCommoners who desired tu exclude the Irish members from West- and that there was not one of those twenty who are not willing to give up the point in order to secure the return of Lord Hartington to the Liberal ranks. He taunted Lord Salisbury with having taken ofice with the help of the Parnellite vote in the face of Mr. Forster's accusation against Mr. Parnell of complicity in crime, an accusation of as great gravity as the charges of the Times. He concluded by declaring that the Liberals wanted the Unionists to rejoin their old party and | would pay any honorable price to get them
