ST. WOOLOS CHURCH. OPENING OF THE NEW ORGAN. On Thursday (yesterday) special services were held at St. Woolos Church, Newport, on the occasion of the opening of the New Organ which has just been erected, when Mr Owen Williams, of Bristol, opened the organ, and a miscellaneous choir, under the leader- ship of Mr Groves, conducted the vocal part in a very excellent manner. The morning service commenced at 11 o'clock, and was very well attended, the church being quite full. The Mayor and about sixteen members of the Cor- poration were present. There were a large number of the clergy of the town and neighbourhood present. The Rev. Canon Hawkins, the vicar, read the lessons, and the service, which was full choral, was intoned by the Rev. H. Parsons (minor Canon of Llandaff Cathedral.) The anthem The Heavens are telling" was effectively rendered by the choir. The Rev. E. Turberville Williams, vicar of Caldicot, delivered an appropriate discourse on Psalm 96, verse 9, Worship the Lord in the beauty of Holiness." The Bible told them, he said, that everything that added to the beauty of the temple was to be used, not for the sake of man, but for the glory of God. Beauty was some- thing invisible-it might be outward or inward. To. day they had met to celebrate the opening of an organ for God's worship, and the words" Beauty of Holi- ness" applied to this as well as to anything else. When they listened to the beautiful strains that pro- ceeded from that organ, and their hearts were touched by it, they were carrying out the words of the text, worshiping God in the beauty of Holiness, and obey- ing the injunctions of the Psalmist, to make the work exceedingly magnificent, not for man, but for God. Religion wa» made up of two parts—prayer and praise. There was \n many minds a misconception as to the distinction between the two, and this misconception often caused people to disagree. But people were not all cast in the same mould, and they could not be ex- pected to be pos&essed of the same opinions and ideas. To worship God in the beauty of holiness, both prayer and praised must be called into requisition -one would be imperfect without the other. Prayer was human, but praise was Divine. Prayer brought out the human element and kept man's sins before him; praise carried man above worldly things, so that be thought not of self, but of God. The best illustration of the form of praise was that the singing that day had had such an effect upon them now the sweet pathos and then the more powerful feeling carrying their hearts to things above. Each persou would some day have to give an account of the gift entrusted to him, and it was important that everyone should use their gift in the right way. Those who were gifted with voices and took part in the important duties of singing God's praise ought to be careful that they worshipped God in the beauty of Holiness.-The service was brought to a close by the singing of the Hallelujah chorus." The church had been nicely, but not elaborately, decorated for the occasion with choice flowers. The pulpit, lectern, and reading-desk, looked exceedingly handsome, and the window sills were ornamented with ferns, roses, &c., by the ladies attending the parish church. The new organ is a splendid instrument, with a sweet but not too powerful tone. The work of erec- tion has been carried out by Mr W. G. Vowles, of Bristol, at a cost of some £500. The old organ occupied a loft immediately over the west door, but as that was an inconvenient situation, the new instru- ment has been placed at the end of the south aisle of the church, immediately facing the pulpit. The organ contains three manuals, its compass is from CC to G, and there are 56 notes. The great organ contains the following stops: Open diapason eight ft.; gambia, eight ft. stop diapason, eight ft. principal, four ft. har- monic flute, four ft.; fifteenth, two ft. trumpet, eight ft. Swell organ Double diapason, 16 ft, open dia. pason, eight ft. stop; diapason, eight ft.; dulciana, eight ft. principal, four ft.; fifteenth, two ft. mix- ture, two ranks; cornopean, eight ft. hautboy, eight ft. The choir organ stops are Dulciana, eight ft. lieblich gedact, eight ft. flute, four ft. clarionette, eight ft. The choir organ, it may be stated, is pre- pared for two more stops, which can be added, if afterwards thought desirable. The pedal organ ranges over two and a half octaves and the pedals are radiate and concave. There are two stops—the open diapason, 16 feet; and the bourdon, also 16 feet. The copulars are great to pedals swell to pedals choir to pedals swell to great; swell to choir. There are six compo- sition pedals, three on the great, and the same number on the swell. The whole of the stops go through, excbpt the hautboy and clarionette. There are 1,240 pipes in the instrument. The case, thongh plain, is a handsome one, being made of pitch pine, varnished the pipes are of plain metal. Mr. Owen Williams gave a recital at four o'clock in the afternoon, on the new organ, from the works of Handel, Archer, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Batiste, and Mendelssohn. There was a fair attendance, and Mr. Williams displayed the capabilities of the new in- strument in a masterly manner. At the evening ser- vice the lessons were read by the Rev. Canon Haw- kias, and the prayers intoned by the Rev. Henry Par- sons there was a large congregation, the music se- lected being "The Hallelujah Chorus." "Hymn of Praise," by Mendelssohn, and Hymn 306, Christ is our corner stone." The sermon was preached by the Ven. Archdeacon Sleeman, vicar of S. John's, Main- dee, from the 47th Psalm, 7th verse For God is the King of all the earth sing ye praises with under- standing." The collections duringtheday amounted to JE25.

Save the Middle profits.—In a recent article on the- social condition of the Nation, the" Daily Telegraph' states: it must be admitted that a comparison of the icliotcsale with tho retoAl prices of food, points to the fact that somehow or other large middle profits are tacked on to tne first cost and this to the loss of the purchaser. This fact has for 40 yesrs been reiterated by Messrs. Horniman, lea Importers, London, who continue to supply their acket Tea direct to the public, through Agents, and thus guarantee a rich, strong, and delicious beverage, pure and wholesome, besides saving the purchaser intermediate profits. Sold by Chemists in the country, and Con icetioners in London. See list of traders selling Homiman's Tea, advertised in this pn.per.

According to estimates of the harvest, based on Government returns, received up to the present, the total wheat crop will be about 400,000,000 bushels. The MarJc-lane Express of Monday, says :—What with cold winds, heavy rains, aud occasional night frosts, cereals have made very slow progress of late on any soil, barleys having suffered considerably, and the excessive humidity of the past six weeks has seriously compromised agricultural prospects. The advance of vegetation has been checked by the cold and sodden state of the laud, which has been unable to retain the warmth imparted to it by the sun's rays during, the day time. Dry, sunny weather is wanted now throughout the kingdom, if the luxuriant crops of grass and clover arc to be secured in anything like good order. The London corn trade has been very quiet during the last week, and transactions have been mainly of a retail character. Continuance of rain and anxiety as to home crops have caused some show of firmness, but there have been heavy arrivals from abroad, Friday's return showing an importation of 98,6SO q"s. The depressive innuenco of such supplies upon prices has been too strong to be counteracted by any apprehen- sions of a deficient English harvest.

CONSUMPTION AND SCROFULOUS AFFECTIONS MOST SUCCESSFULLY TREATED WITH DR. DE JONGH'S LIGHT- BROWN COD LIVEII OIL.—Dr. Hardwicke, Coroner for Central Middlesex, writes:—" I have great pleasure in adding my testimony to the already well-recognized virtues of Dr. de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil, having prescribed it many years, and being satisfied that it is a pure Oil, very palatable, and more easily digested than the Pale Oils. It possesses medicinal properties which also render it more efficacious than other kinds of fatty Oils, In the class of tubercular diseases including consumption. so prev.Uei t in our great centres of popula- tion, the use of Dr. de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil is attended with manifold advantages and I know of no therapeutic agent which, in connection with judicious sanitary measures, is better calculated to stay the ravages of these great consuming plagues of the British Islands. The Iodine, Bromine, an 1 Phosphorous in Dr. de Jongh's Light-Brown Oil are undoubtedly efficacious, and being naturally combined with the most easily assimilated fatty substances, make it act both as food and medicine for many invalids who tase it periodically with great benefit to health."

INSPECTION OF THE INDIAN TROOPS. A telegram from Malta, dated Monday, says The Duke of Cambridge visited Forts St. Elmo, Tigue, and Mansel during the course of the morning and afternoon, and this evening, at six o'clock, reviewed the troops. General Sir Arthur Borton, the Governor, I who commands the forces stationed here, proceeded to the parade ground, where the troops were already drawn up, and the Duke of Cambridge and his suite arrived immediately afterwards, when he was received with the usual salutes. The march past then began, the field artillery leading, followed in order by the 9th Bengal Cavalry, the 1st Bombay Lancers, the Madras and Hombay Sappers, and then six Indian Regiments, under the command of General Ross, in all about 1,GOO horses and 6,500 men. After these came the Royal and Maltese Artillery, the Royal En- gineers, and English regiments, numbering altogether 5,000 men. The English troops were commanded by General Airey. The Indian troops were much ad- mired for the steadiness with which they marched past, showing evidence of excellent drill and training. The Duke of Cambridge expressed himself much pleased with the appearance of all the troops. On Wednesday morning the Duke of Cambridge in- spected the Indian infantry regiments, and again ex- pressed his satisfaction at the bearing of the troops. His Rjyal Highness held a lelJée the same afternoon, which was attended by officers of the army and navy, and also by several native Indian officers and civilians. The Duke was, in the evening, theguest of the officers of the Indian Contingent, a grand dinner, with covers for 70, being given at the United Service Club.
