In oonwquenoe of representations mado by the friends of the men engaged in sealing on tha Macquarrie Islands, the Government are making enquiries at Danedin and the Bluff as to whether a steamer can be eetit down with provisions, as there is reason to believe that the men are starving. The arrangements for the funeral of the late Mr. S D. Paroell have been completed as follows:— The procession will leavo the deceased's late residence, Cambridge- terrace, at 330 to-morrow afternoon. The coffin will be carried all the way to the oemetery, and the a rangements in that respect have been left to the carpenters and joiners of tho city to whose racks deceased belonged. Messrs John Plimmer, E. Player, H. W. Potter D* P. Fisher, F. C. Millar, and T. Soward will act as pall-bearers. The trades Unions are to assemblo at the corner of Cambridgeterrace, and will not be marshalled as separate societies, but will march as one body. One or more bands will be present, playing funeral marches. The Government has been requested by the Harbour Board to deolare the new landing places on Jervois-quay. The Bishop of Nelson has announced his intention of appointing the Bey. T. S. Grace Archdeacon of Marlborough. The oreditors of George E. Smith, carpenter, met in the Official Assignee's office | this morning. The debtor submitted a statement to the effeot that he attributed his present position to debts incuired between two and three j ears ago, and which he had been unable to overtake through being a long time out of employment. He was pressed by two of his largest oreditors, and compelled to seek the protection of the Court. The debtor, replying to questions, said that he was still out of work. He was unable to produoe boqks at the present meeting, but if time were given him ho would be able to furnish a statement ot his receipts and expenditure. On the motion of Mr. J. Hutohen (Stewart and Co.), seconded by Mr. J. W. Evans, it was resolved to allow the debtor to retain hia furniture and personal effects. The Official Assignee explained that he would take an early opportunity of realising the assets. Shortly after noon to-day, the horse attached to a butcher's cart bolted on Clydequay, beius frightened by the noißO of th« Corporation steam roller. It started off towards Newtown, and tho driver, who is believed to be the son of Mr. Robinson, owner of the cart, was thrown out on the roadside nearly opposite the Destrnotor. He was carried into tho Clyde-quay Hotel, and seemed to be r&ther badly injured about the left arm and back of the head. Restoratives having been administered, the lad was taken away by some frionda. Mr. F. Bull reoently forwarded to Messrs. M. Donaghy & Co. (Limited), of Dunedin, the well-known ropo manufacturers, a sample of phorum tenwe fibre, prepared by his machine and process, and asked them to report upon ita quality. Mr. Bull ia now iv receipt of tho following letter from the firm : — " Dear Sir — We duly received your telegram asking ua to report on the fibre, and we beg to Bay that it is well-dressed and free from gum, and altogether is as good a sample as we have lately seen. We value it at £20 per ton." Zealandia Lodge, 1.0.0. F., the vigorous offshoot of the American Urder of Odd-f-.llows whioh was lately planted at Now. town, held its first quarterly meeting in Newtown Schoolroom last night. About 50 mombors wero present, and Bro. Frank Wills, N.G., presided. Two candidates were initiated, and a large amount of busk ness of importance to members was tranBacted. The eleotion of officers for the ensuing six months then took place, and roaulted in the return of the following :— N.G., Bro. Geo. Crichton ; V.G., Bro. Chas. Hnlke; Permanent Seorotary, Bro. G. S. Hill ; Recording Seorotary, Bro. Percy Gardener ; Treasurer, Bro. G. N. Baggott. Bro. Wills, the retiring N.G., received a hearty vote of thanks for his services as the first" presiding officer of the lodge In acknowledging it, be heartily congratulated the members upon tbo unprecedented suooess whioh had attended the inauguration of their lodge, a sentiment whioh was echoed by Bro. A. W. Brown, P.G., as an old Oddfellow. It was arranged that the next meeting for the installation of officers should bo held on the 6th oi January, and a oommittoo was appointed to act in conjunction with a similar committee of the Southern Cross Lodge in arranging to hold a jo-.nt installation banquet on a date yet to be fixed. Notwithstanding tho heavy rain yesterday there was a capital attendance at the Christmas salo oonducted by the ladies of the Webb-street Primitive Methodist Churoh. The looture-room, in whioh the Bale, was held, was well stocked with useful and ornamental goods, which wore well patronised, as was also the refreshment stall. The Bale will continue this evening from 5 to 10, and there is a large Btock of goods yet to be offered. Tho Wellington Almanac, Direotory, 40., for 1891, haß just beon issued fresh from the printers hands. It is a very carefully oompiled volumo, and contains a very large amount of information of value ali&o to the business man, the amateur gardener, the householder, and the traveller. Office calendars for 1891 have boen forwarded to us by Lyon & Blair and the agents for the Sun Fire Insurance Office (Messrs. J. U. Bethnne * Co.), in addition to those we have already acknowledged. There will probably bo a large attendance this afternoon and evening at the tale of work which is boing held in the Girla' High School, for the furtherance of a good objeot. It is the outcome of much industry and perseverance on the part of a number of oharit-ably-dispoaed ladies, and should awaken the co-operation of members of the general publio. The charge for admission is merely nominal. Special terms for tourists' and excursionists' insurance have been arranged by the New Zealand Aooidenfe Insurance Company. The schedules will be found set out iv detail in our advertising columns. The already long programme of sports for the Caledonian Sooiety's gathering on New Year's Day has been further extended by two events through the liberality of two enthusiastic Scots. An anonymous donor has presented a silver medal for a half-mile trioyole race, and- Mr. R. Wallaoe, of Messrs. Stewart & Co.'a Btaff, has given a trophy in eleotro-plate as the prize for a champion mile race, in which all competitors are to start from the soratch. These two events make a total of 37 tor the day. A Maori haka and war danoe will be performed at the Oddfellows' Hall, Upper Hutt, to-morrow evening. In our advertising oolumns will be found a list of prises to be given away by the Agustus Conjnring Troupe to-morrow evening at the Exohange Hall. The Professor's ability is highly spoken of, and this, ooupled with the prizes, should onsure a good house, We would remind our readers of the oarol service in St. John's Chnrch this evening at half-past 7 o'clook. Another of those displays for which Te Aro House has become bo celebrated will take place this evening, between the houra of 6 and 10 o'clock. We are informed that the whole of the windows aud doorways will be brilliantly illuminated, and that the display will include all the "latest fashions, and specially those adapted for the holiday season. G. W. Wilton, of Adelaide-roaa, is in evidence as a manufacturer of cordials. The feature in which he prides himself iß* the absolute purity of his preparations. The sample which he has forwarded to us as a seasonable present is all that could he desired as regards flavour. We aro asked to remind our readers that C. Smith, the cash draper, Cuba-street, is giving Christmas presents to all cash buyers of 10s and over. He is also advertising the last four days of Lindberg'a assigned stock sale. Cuningham, Badhim & Co. will iell to-morro«' at the rear ol the New Zealander Hotel, horses, to Townsend Sc Paul will «ell to-morrow, fruit, &c. G. W. Smart will sell to-morrow, stock-in-trade of a tailor and hosier. A. J. Beid will sell to-morrow, unredeemed pledges. Francis WScy * Co. will cell to-morrow, unredeemed pledget.

A vert important matter in oonneotion with the distribution of our Christmas presents consists in giving to all purchasers of 5s worth a very attractive, well got up, and admirably illustrated booklot. This we are now doing, and shall continue to do to the end of the present month and year at Te Aro House. In addition to the above we have opened out a fresh supply of presents, consisting of glassware, ivory ware, etrußoan ware, fto., in very attractive and ornamental designs, with a l<rge assortment of plush-framed mirrors, braokets, Japanese and painted screens, <feo., at Te Aro House. Thkbe is also a select assortment of mechanioal and other toys, kaleidosoapes, lamp shades, photo frames, inkstands, dolla, rustic fruit plates, basketware, and a variety of other articles impossible to enumerate, at Te Aro Honae. We have thus every advantage to offer to our onßtomers during the present month, viz., the certainty of a very desirable present, varying in value according to the amount of gooda purchased, and one of the largest and beat seleoted, aye, and best value, stooks of drapery in the colony, at Te Aro House. We have no need to mention the money value of our large stook, as Beams to be the fashion now-a-days. The great Bize of onr warehonao, and the fullness and oompleteness of every department in it, speak louder than words — that there is nothing in the city either in value or oheapness to surpass Te Aro Honas. — Adtt. Visitors to Wellington and the general publio are reminded that the splendid showrooms of Wilkinß ft Field, in Manners-street, are always open for publio inspection, and that a pleasant half-hour can be spent in examining their boantiful stock of novelties and new goods specially imported for Christmas and New Year's gifts. They have now displayed the finest stook ever seen in Wellington of ladies' and gentlemen's travelling and dressing cases, ranging in prioe from .£1 to £12 10a eaoh; also leather handbags, cigar and oigarette cases and pursen. Special attention is also directed to their magnificent stock of silver-plated ware and sterling silver goods, imported direot from the celebrated manufactories of Ellrington, Dixon, Map pin and Webb, Shaw and Fisher, and Round and Sons, ia., comprising all the latest novelties specially suitable for prizes and Christmas and New Year's gifts.— Advt. The proprietor of the Kapai Laundry, Mount Albert, found that for many months a prolonged attack of rheumatism in his right arm and shoulder considerably interfered with his work, but, he sayß, "Two applications of Renshaw's Monarch of Pain ourod me, and thoueh seven months ago, I have not been tronblod since."— Adtt. THIS HOT WEATHER! " Oh, ma ! the milk is gone sour again." "Oh, well, my dear, we won't have any more, but will get the Gold Medal Condennd Milk from tbegrooer's ; that always keeps sweet."— Adtt.
