The Presbytery of Dunedin will meet in First Church to-morrow morning. Now on view at Montague’s, a sample lot of very pre ty tea and dinner sets; all newest shapes and patterns. Suitable for welding and birthday presents.—[Advt.] The commercial travellers held a very successful smoke concert in their clubhouse on Saturday night, Mr G. L. Denniston presiding. The vocalists were Messrs A. Wright, Warsaw, H. Smith, F. L. Jones, Reunert, Manson, J. Marshall, and Signor Borzoni; Mr C. Coombs contributed a cornet solo and took part with Mr Feltham in a cornet duet; Messrs W. F. Young, A. Thomson, Bowler, and M'Donald gave recitations ; and Mr H. Moss contributed a fantasia on the flute. Mr Robertshaw led the quartet party, and Mr Vallis was accompanist. The Rev, H. R. Haweis, M.A., will soon be with us again, his first lecture being announced to be given in the .City Hall on the Bth inst. His subjects are ‘Garibaldi’ and ‘Violins and Violin-makers.’ Mr Haweis’s exceptional qualifications for handling these topics are well known. He was present at Garibaldi’s great campaign which resulted in the capture of Naples. Ho assisted at the siege of Capua, and was conversant with all the great characters of the Revolution. He has been twice summoned to Romo to deliver his lecture on Garibaldi and Mazzini, and addressed crowded audiences in the Sala Dante there. When he lectured on old violinists at the Royal Institution, London, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Emperor of Russia, and the owners of some of the finest violins in the world contributed to his loan collection for tire evening, and he has been a student, and in his earlier days a practical vo-ary, of the violin, holding for three years the poet of solo violinist in the University of Cambridge Orchestral Society. The warm reception given to the Giribaldi and violin lectures in Auckland have influenced Mr Haweis in selecting them for repetition in Dunedin on the Bth and 9th respectively at the City Hall.
