Yesterday being Good Friday, there was an entire suspension of business in the city, the Government offices, banks, and warerooms being closed throughout the day, and a general holiday observed. There were religious services conducted in the morning in the various Episcopalian places of worship in the city and suburbs. The first portion of the 43rd Regiment under orders for England embarked on board the ' Maori' on Thursday, and numbered 378 souls, composed as follows:—27B rank and file, 15 sergeants, 7 drummers, 18 women and •10 children, and (i officers and their ladies. The following a.-e the names of the officers: Brevet Major Fitzgerald, Captains Berners and lilytb, Lieutenants Cairns, Burke, and Pearson, Ensign Collins-Platt, Assistant-iurgeon Grant, Quartermaster Farscn, Colonel Mould, R.E., C.8., Colonel Carey, C.8., D A.G., -10 th Foot, also proceed to England in this vessel.

There were 07 cases entered for hearing at the Resident Magistrate's Court on Thursday, a number of which were settled out of Court. In the case of James Heron v. W. U. Seffern and C. F. Mitchell, his Worship reserved judgment until next sitting day. It was a claim for £4O, alleged to have been lent by plaintiff on 4th March, 18G5, to defendants, for the purpose of paying the workmen employed in the NewZealander establishment. The case of Alexander Davidson v. Henry Niccol was partly heard, and the further hearing adjourned at the. rising of the Court, until Wednesday. It was a claim brought by plaintiff for £l2 10s, amount alleged to be due him for work performed by him in connection with the patent slip erected by defendant at the North .Shore. The members of the Auckland A thenscum will hold a literary meeting at halfpast seven o'clock on Tuesday evening next, at their rooms, Victoria-street, when papers are to be read on the following subjects:—"How to make Money," by Mr. C. F. Mitchell ; " Preciou.3 Stones," by Mr. C. Lysnar ; " Modifications of the Skeleton," by Dr., Giles. The adjourned meeting of the Odd Fellows' Special Settlement Society took place on Thursday evening, at 8 o'clock, in the Good Intent Lodge-room, Market, Hotel—Mr. Robinson in the chair. A draft copy of the bve-laws of the society was read by Mr. .lames Derrom, Prov. C.S., and several of the proposed rules discussed at considerable length by the members of the society present. We see among the list of passengers by the mail, the name of Mr. J. E. Taylor, who has recently visited Auckland, and rendered himself popular here by his interpretation of negro character. Mr. Taylor is a clever comedian, and we doubt not will be a most welcome addition to the attractions of Melbourne? and Sydney.

On Thursday evening Mr. A. S. Hamilton, the distinguished phrenologist,delivered a highly interesting and practical lecture demonstrative of the truth of the science of phrenology, in the Mechanics' Institute, to a numerous audience. The lecturer commenced by reading two letters, which appeared in the Daily Southern Cross a short time ago, on the subject, of phrenology, in the Meceanics' Institute, to a

numerous audience. The lecturer then proceeded to treat of the principles and theory of phrenology, and gave some exceedingly interesting facts respecting the first proposition of the science. At the" close of the valuable lecture, Mr. Hamilton delineated the characters of two of the audience, one of them being an old and well-known citizen, and the result could not fail to convince the audience of the accuracy of the description and of the truth and utility of phrenology. The second lecture will be delivered on Tuesday evening next, in which the talented lecturer will treat principally of the social and domestic affections. We can promise those who may attend a rich intellectual treat and the opportunity of acquiring a large amount of useful information on the science of phrenology. Yesterday the pleasure of our good townsfolk was sadly marred by the wet weather which set in early in the morning, and which lasted without intermission throughout the day. About five o'clock the rain came down heavier than we have ever before seen it, even in wet and fickle Auckland, and the water rushing down the hills formed small rivers, which poured themselves over all the low lying lands adjacent. The foot of Queen-street was in some places over the pedestrian's knees, and it was with great difficulty that many of our lowly thoroughfares were crossed. Amongst the passengers lost by the ill-fated steamship 'London, was, as our readers know, Mr. George T. Urquhart, late of Karaka. The deceased gentleman left Auckland twelve months ago, for London, to be married ; and having arrived in safety, he was returning to the hind of his adoption with his young bride, when both met a watery grave. Mr. Unjuart first took passage in a vessel which was almost wrecked, and afterwards embarked in the ' London.' The deceased gentleman's family, consisting of his father and mother and two brothers, were first made acquainted with their great bereavement through the columns of the press, and it is needless to say how great a shock they received by the announcement. His sister, Miss (Irquhari, was in Auckland waiting her brother and sister-in-law's arrival, when the news of the melancholy catastrophe became known in town. We need only add that there is one general feeling of sympathy with the family of the deceased in their bereavement under the circumstances so peculiarly melancholy and afflicting.

A tea meyting and soiree, in aid of St. Mary's Sunday school, and District Visiting Society, Parncll, will take place on Tuesday next, the 3rd instant: tea on the table at half-past six o'clock. Section No. 4, of the Auckland and Drury Railway, Laving been completed by the contractor, Mr. J. Gwynneth, notice to that effect was sent in on Wednesday to the Commissioners of the Railway Hoard, accompanied by a request that the section might be inspected by the engineers, and "taken over" at an early date. We understand that Mr. J. Gwynneth. civil and mining engineer, of Shortlandstreet, has received the appointment of district surveyor under the Provincial Government for Tauranga and the East Coast, and will proceed to Opotiki in a few days to commence operations in the survey of the confiscated lands at that place.

In a New Zealand Gaze/Ice, published on Saturday, March '2sH'' l . Major Michael Tigho, of the ProvJ*ce of Auckland, is gazetted as the person appointed within the Auckland Province to receive the arms, accoutrements, and other articles supplied to any officer, non-commissioned officer, or volunteer of any corps, which has been disbanded in terms of the 7th section of Volunteer Act, 18G5. We learn from Coromandel that the affair at the Thames, regarding which such alarming rumours reached town, and which even at the least was of considerable importance as effecting the state of feeling of the natives in the Thames, has been settled. AVe understand that the Ngatitamatera stuck to the story that a murder had been committed, ami flatly refused to allow Mr. Mackay to examine the body of Paora Waittiu. With the assistance, however, of Te Taipari mid some of the Ngatimaru, Mr Mackay got the body dug up, and •■early disproved the story asseverated by some of the Maoris, that Paora had been killed by five stabs. The fact that a robbery had been committed was, however, made clear, and Mr. Lawlor sentenced five men to three months' imprisonment for the offence.

We understand that positive instructions have been received by this mail from England to reduce the force in New Zealand with all possible despatch. The 2nd 12th, 2nd 13th, and Srjth Regiments will be left in the colony, with one battery of artillery. The -2nd 14th will be quartered in Australia, and the remaining force of all arms is to be sent home. The Military Traill will be amongst the earlier departures, although it had been arranged that they should do the transport duty, and preparations were made for sending a detachment down to Wanganui. Of the disposition of the New Zealand force it would be premature to say, but the Home authorities contemplate only garrison duty, at the principal towns, to save transport expenditure, which in this country is very large. The Rev. S. Edger delivered an elaborate and interesting lecture on Thursday evening to a respectable audience in the Albert-street Congregational Chapel ; his theme being " The Infidel, the Sceptic, and the Believer." The object for which the lecture was given was to assist in defraying the expense of lighting the chapel with

During the last year 1.5,277 emigrants were despatched from the Clyde, being 4.8:13 more than the number who sailed in 1864. Of these 10.038 went to the United States 2,582 to Canada, 1,510 to Queensland, 930 to New Zealand, and '217 to various other parts of the world.

Ilia Grace tlie Duke of St. Alban'a is said to be travelling incognito through Australia, and intends paying a visit to Tasmania and Now Zealand before he returns to England. Mr. David Hume * Bartholomew, a gentleman who, in partnership with Mr. J. Steven?, lias published directories in the Australian colonies, is engaged in compiling a Xew Zealand Directory, including all the principal towns and cities in the colony. With the directory will be published a correct and complete map of the two islands. We wish the publisher every success in his labourious undertaking. On Thursday evening, the children attending the Day and Sunday Schools in connection with the St. James's Presbyterian Church, Wellington-street, were entertained at a soiree by their teachers and friends in the new school house adjoining the church. There were about "250 children present, who were regaled with tea, cake, confectionery, &c., and who appeared heartily to enjoy themselves. The Itev. Mr. Hill and Mrs. Hill, Mr. T. Macky, Mrs. Alexander, Mr. and Mrs. Sherrard, and the teachers of the day-school—Mr. and Mrs. Mcintosh and Miss Doull— were assiduous in their efforts to contribute to the happiness of the juvenile party. The children sang with remarkable accuracy and precision a number of suitable hymns, accompanied on the harmonium by Mr. Westmoreland. A magic lantern was introduced among the amusements provided, and, as the figures passed in succession before the astonished gaze of the children, they gave unmistakable evidence of their delight, and that they fully appreciated the entertainment. After singing a hymn, and the pronouncing of the benediction by the Itev. Mr. Hill, the juvenile company of guests separated shortly before 9 o'clock. A meeting of the committee appointed to promote the erection of a now church in Freeman's Hay district was held on Wednesday morning, when it was decided to adopt the design furnished by Mr. W. Pritchard, architect, Wyndham-street. There were six deigns sent in. The one supplied by Mr. Pritchard i« decorated Gothic, wit 1 ' a tower and spire of elegant proportions, to be 100 feet in 1 "igl.t to the cross wide'. Surmounts it. The length of nave is oo' feet, and 25 feet wide ; height of roof, 3G feet. The transept is 50 feet by 25 feet, and side aisles f) feet wide. A gothic archway from the transept, 17 feet in width by 14 feet in depth, forms the chancel. The church will be lighted by very handsome tracery windows in gables, with trefoils over. The aisles are furnished with four windows on each side, and a similar number in the clerestory, which will open for ventilation. There are to be two gothic entrance doorways under the tower, and a porch on the corresponding side of the church. Accommodation will be afforded to 52r> worshippers. The entire construction will be of wood, and the erection is'to be commence at once, being expected to be completed within four uiomths from the present time.

Mr. 1). Hankison has been elected for Riverton.

Mr. Thomas Dick, Superintendent of Otago, has been elected for Fort Chalmers without a contest.

On the passage home of the 65th Regiment in the ship ' Rob Roy,' a death occurred from accident on the 2.5 th November, when John Donovan, a private, fell overboard and was drowned.

The ' Mary Shepherd,' Captain Croot, master, has been taken up for the conveyance of the first portion of the 40th Regt, 400 in number, to England, to embark about the middle of next month, and operations will be at once commenced to fit her up for the service. The only Other ship in harbour—the 'Liverpool'— did not tender; but we believe several tenders were received from agents of vessels in Sydney; and it is most probable one or more will be taken up from that port.

An Ingenious plan of smuggling appears to have been successfully adopted at Ilokitika, and is described in a local paper as follows:—"An extensive seizure of gunpowder lias been made by the Customs authorities within the last day or two, on account as we are informed, of some irregularity regarding the payment of duty. We are also given to understand that information has been received by the authorities to the effect that large quantities of gunpowder have been smuggled into this port in the guise of flour, the gunpowder being placed in tins inside Hour bags." " The gallant Goth, the first of the five recalled from New Zealand," says the Military Chronicle, " has set foot on English soil after nearly twenty years' service in our troublesome colony ender the Southern Cross. During its long period of foreign service the regiment was not less distinguished for its dash and bravery in the field than for its good conduct and respectability in quarters, so much as to elicit, even from New Zealand colonists, numerous and sincere expressions of regret at its departure." It appears from the New Zealad Gazette, issued on Saturday last that the under-men-tioned corps, enrolled previous to the passing of the Volunteer Act, 18G5, not having, within sixty days of the date on which the Act came into operation, again tendered their services to the Government, are, in accordance with the provisions of section 7 of the Act, disbanded j and the gentlemen whose names are set opposite to the corps to which they respectively belonged have ceased to hold the rank of otlicers in such corps, their commissions having under the same clause lapsed:—Onehunga Rifle Volunteers: F. M. P. Brookfield, Esq., late captain ; R. Farmer, Esq., late captain ; H. Kelly, Esq., late lieutenant. Onehunga Naval Volunteers: T. Parnall, Esq., late lieutenant; D. Hutchison, Esq., late sub-lieutenant. Mauku Rille Volunteers: J. T. Mellsop, Esq., lale lieutenant. Papakura Valley Rifle Volunteers : G. Gardiner, Esq., late captain.

The election for Napier terminated in the return of .Mr. I). McLean, the Super- ' intendent, against Mr. William Colenso, j the late member, by 14G votes against 'VI. \ N T ot one-half of the electors voted. Mr. Colenso did not canvass, and had no committee : Mr. McLean's friends did all that money, influence, and intimidation could do, —at least Mr. Colenso charged them \ with it, and we believe truthfully so, on the hustings. Amongst the placards posted j by Mr, McLean's committee was this: " Vote for Colenso, who sold himself to the Auckland clique!" In short, Mr. Colenso, has been sacrificed for being independent in his principles, fearless in his speech, and honest in his action during the last session of the Assembly. Mr. McLean expects i to be made Native Minister, and when in ! ollioe proposes to carry out the scheme of j annexing Poverty Bay and East Cape to ; Hawke's Bay. Of course, there will be a few words to the bargain before it is complcted, but the following from the Hawke's H y Herald, of the 24th, which speaks Mr. McLean's mind shows plainly what is wished for.—"We call attention to the report, in another column, of a speech j lately delivered in Dunedin by the Hon. .lames Paterson, a member of the Stafford Ministry. A perusal of the same will show ! that a re-distribution of the provinces, if such an expression may be allowed, is one j of the measures in contemplation by the Government. Tts importance will be realised when we state that under the proproposed scheme it is intended to annex j Southland to Otago and Marlborough to Nelson; and to include Taranaki in the adjacent province of Auckland. Hawke's Bay, on the contrary, the position and prosperity of which have long marked it j out as one of the principal provinces of J New Zealand, is to be enlarged by annexing j to it part of Auckland—we presume the Bast Coast from Waiapu downward."— Southern Cross.

It will be remembered by many, that about eight months ago the celebrated artistes Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dillon, accompanied by Mr. George Fawcett, left Duncdin for England, via South America ; and many admirers of their talent will be glad to learn that their lines "have fallen in pleasant places." A communication has been received from England to the effect that Mr. .Charles Dillon had fulfilled a lucrative engagement at the Opera House at Lima, which was crowded each night of his performance; the price paid for admission being almost, fabulous —the charge to the pit being three dollars, or twelve shillings and .sixpence, English money. Such sums have only been received at the .same place by Miss Catherine Hayes, and an Italian Opera Company some time ago, although mpny talented art'stes hive visited the town. Mr. Dillon has alio visited Chili, whore he would no doubt, have made money, but for the arrival of the Spanish fleet which blockaded the port, threatening bombardment of the town, and caused much consternation, thus compelling all foreigners (including Mr. Dillon) to leave the town. He had crossed the Isthmus of Panama on his way to New York, where he arrived at the latter end of December. It was t''en expected that he would shortly sail for England to fulfil 1111 engagement at Drury Lane 'I heatre.

Go to Japan, says the New York Sun ; you can,buy a first-class house there for SO dollars, and live comfortably in it for two cents a day. Servants charge 50 cents a month, and a horse and "room may be had for the same time for 1 dollar and 59 eenti.

The return of the cattle plague for the we«k ending 23rd inst. shows still a slight increase in the number of attacks, the number being 0V256 against (i,054. No less than 63,593 cattle are now known to have been attacked, of which only 5,803 have recovered—less than 10 per cent. The Laurel, however, has published a letter which may enable us to arrest this terrible plague without violent legislation. Dr. Murchison believes, and the Lancet endorses the belief, that rinderpest is virulent •mall-pox, shows that all the symptoms are identical, suspects that herds which have had the cow-pox are exempt, and suggests the vaccination of till cattle. This suggestion, which places in our hands an easy and painless preventive, seems to deserve the closest attention. It will probably be found correct, and that the cause of the excessive mortality, so greatly exceeding the average among human subjects, is the thickness of hide, which prevented the pustules appearing, and, with the ignorance of veterinary surgeons, delayed the recognition of the disease.— Spectator. Dec. 30.

Every telegram from America is now full of Mexican stories, the latest being that Juarez is levying a corps in Texas with the consent of the Americans. AVe do not believe it, Congress not having yet decided whether it desires war or not. Mr. Seward has gone to A r era Cruz, according to one acccount to meet the Empress; according to another, to visit Mexico ; and according to a third, for the benefit of his health. It appears to be more certain that the Emperor Napoleon has informed the American Government that he will withdraw his troops if they will acknowledge Maximilian, and they refuse. AVe have alluded elsewhere to the monstrous decree of December 5, by which the Mexican Emperor has cut himself off from the sympathies of all Europe.— lbid.

A very important meeting of the Social Science Association (Department (if Economy) will be held at its rooms on Monday next, at eight, o'clock. It is intended to discuss a plan for creating a Commission under an Act of Parliament, specially ordered to provide dwellings for the poor in great cities. It is proposed to purchase the worst districts ot the great, cities nnder compulsory powers, and recover them with tall buildings suited for the residences of the poor. The money is to be lent by Government, under an Act already in existence but dormant, and repaid by instalments. It is understood that the Ministry are willing to further this plan, and the public has long since agreed that some scheme of the must be carried out. Half England lives in cities, and they must be made habitable cities. One point, however, is obviously forgotten in the scheme. Government of course cannot remain sole landlord of the artizan population, but a rigid system of sanitary inspection ought still to continue, otherwise the owners of the blocks wili soon be as bad as landlords as the owners of cottages.— Hid.

The gale of Thursday and Friday last wrought fearful mischief along (he coast. From every southern port we have tidings of loss, and at Brixham a disaster oeurred almost unprecedented in the annals of the coast, Brixham Roads were crowded with vessels which had run in for shelter from the south-west gale, when suddenly the wind shifted to the call, and the entire fleet was driven ashore like an army taken in flank. The pier at Brixham harbour has now lying against it a shapeless mass of timber, the remains of some twenty vessels which were'dashed to pieces against r t. Above this lie three or four wrecks still looking like ships, while upon the sands a mile or two off are four or five vessels beached, and at a short distance from the shore several mastheads arc visible. The total loss is estimated at thirty-one vessels and eleven trawlers, with at least 150 lives.— lbid.

A sad but ennobling incident has marked the gale. The London, a magnificent screw steamer belonging to Messrs. Wigram and Sons, and used as an Australian packet boat, was struck on the 9th inst, in tin l

Bay of Biscay by the gale, while on her outward voyage, and on the lOtli was put about for Plymouth. At 10.30 pm, however, a tremendous sea tore away the hatchway over the engine-room and put out the fires, and the ship, lying to under a bit. of sail, became water-logged. Early on the 11 th Captain Martin informed the passengers that hope was over, and boats were lowered, but with one exception all were stove in or otherwise destroyed. The ship was full of passengers, all of whom met their inevitable fate with cool courage, listening quietly to the exhortations of Mr. Draper, n clergyman on board, workin? strenuously at the pumps, and talking calmly. At last the port pinnace was lowered. Captain Martin ordered the chief engineer to take the command, as, the fires being out, he could have no further duty to perform, and the engineer's men and three second-class passengers got into her. There was still a vacant place, and a Mr. Hickman was asked to take it, but he "had promised his wife to die with her," and refused. Then the captain was implored to go, but in his own words, "he thought it is duty to 20 down with his passengers, ' and the same tone prevailed throughout the ship. Several of the passengers had loaded revolvers to shoot themselves as the ship wont down, and so avoid the painful struggles with the waves, but there is no proof that, they used them, though the men in the boat saw the final catastrophe. They put off a little after one o'clock, and almost before they could o-et away saw the poop swent of U* ppsstmgers, and the ship immediately settled down *torn foremost, carryingthe. r»n aindcr of the 220 lives on board. The pinnace was picked up next day by an Italian vessel, and the story of the loss of the London, which will live in naval history as long as that of the Birkenhead, is told by the survivors. It is the first great loss sustained by Messrs. Wigram in a century of shipowning.— Ibiil.

The French Government Ims, it appear«, really re<olred to terminate the extradition treaty with Great Britain. We hare offered elsewhere a suggestion as to the motive for this step, but may add here that while France has between 1851 and 18f> - 2 surrendered only fourteen criminals to Eng-< land we have surrendered twenty-four to her. None seem, however, to have been giTen up since 1858.— Home News,

A shepherd-boy named Millon, only 12 year? of age, a foundling from tbe Hospital of Marseilles, was tried recently by tlio Court of Assizes of tbe Basses-Alpes on a charge of having, at St. Etienne, on the lOili of November la«t, murdered, by blows witb a stick another shepherd-boy named Boniface, two years his junior, for the sake ot recovering a two-sous piece which he had given to the latter to mind his sheep while he played with some other hoys. The evidence having; established that the prisoner had committed the crime, well knowing what he was about, the jury found him guilty of murder with discernment, and the court, applying the law relative to murder commmitted under such circumstances by boys under 15 years of age, condemned him to 12 years'imprisonment.— Home New. A fearful scene occurred at the Lyceum Theatre, Sunderland, on the night of December '2B, during the performance of the pantomime, Robin Hood, A gutia percba tube connecting the wing lights became detached, and the gas escaping ignited, and a loud cxposion took place, the flame shooting up to the top of the stage. A rush was made to the door by the audience, who thought the theatre was on fire, but they were stopped by seeing Miss Louisa Rieardo, who was engaged as Columbine Watteau, rvish on to the stage enveloped in flames. She had been standing amongst a group collected at the wing, waiting her turn to co on, when the flames caught her muslin skirt. She shrieked and rushed on in the middle of the scene, wher her father was playing as clown, but she thrown down by one of the stage carpenters. Mr. Bell, the lessee, wrapped his top-coat round the poor girl, and the flames.were beaten out. The performance then proceeded. Miss Rieardo was removed home anil died in the afternoon of the 29th from her injuries and the shock to her system. She was daughter of the clown, Mr. Rieardo. Home News.

It appears that a distressing suicide has occurred owing to the loss of the 'London.' An inquest lias been held by the City coroner, at St. Mary Axe. on the body of Miss Sarah Marks, aged 4), who, it was alleged, committed suicide through grief, caused by the loss of a sister, aged L'M, who was on board the ship London' when that vessel foundered. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased had been in good health and spirits until phe had heard of the loss of the ' London,' and thence became quite frantic. She said that her young sister was lost on board that vessel, and it was she who had pursuaded her to Australia. She said, "lam my sister's murderer." A few days susequently she was found on the floor of her room quite dead. On the table was found a bottle labeled "Poison, essential oil of almond*." A paper was also discovered, on which deceased had written that "she had destroytd her life, for she was the cause of her sister's death, by pursuading her to go to Melbourne in the 'London.'" Mr. Lawrence Levy, Upper Last Siuithfield,

said that the deceased and her sister were his nieces. The deceased had been driven out her mind by grief when she heard tlie fate of her sister. Witness believed it was Miss Marks who cume to the side of the sinking ship and offered to give a thousand guineas to the crew of the boat to take her in. The coroner having remarked upon the melancholy nature of the case, the jury returned a verdict that the deceased committed suicide by taking poison while of unsound mind.— Home Neics.

Among fashionable highwaymen the place of honour is assigned to Claude du \ r ul; Dick Turpan being stated, on the authority of Lord Macaulay, as far as the notorious ride to York was concerned, to be an impostor. It is difßult to believe that so recently as 178:1 there was appended to the play-bills at SadWs Wells Theatre the following notice : "June, 1783. —Patroles, horse and foot, are stationed from Saddler's Weill Gate, along the New-road to Tottenham-court Turnpike, &c, between the hours of eight and eleven." Even so late as 17!(9, it. was necessary "to order a party of light horse to patrol every night from Hyde Park Corner to Kensington." Among the " Knights of the Road" appear to have been at different times many members of the aristocratic families and one bishop.— The Header.

Tn the editorial columns of the 'New

York Herald' is the following :-—" Wanted, n Head Centre for the Irish Republic. Wanted, an Irish Republic for the Head Centre." The Case of " Edmunds V. Lord Brougham," came before the Court of Chancery recently in rather a curious form. Mr. Edmunds seeks to recover from Lord Brougham the mortgaged debt of £o()00, which played a prominent part in recent disclosures. The money was advanced for the late Mr. James Brougham so far back as 1811. Lord Brougham expressed his readiness to pay the sum if Mr. Edmunds would admit that he was not liable in law or equity to do so. This offer was declined ; and a bill was filed in the Court of Chancery. Lord Brougham paid the money into court, but in his answer he made certain reflections on Mr. Edmunds, which Mr. Malins, on behalf of that gentleman, applied to the court to have struck out. Some discussion took place between counsel, and it was ultimately decided that the question should stand over till the first cause day after term, in order that Lord Brougham, who is at Cannes, should determine whether he would retain the passage to which objection was taken.— Home News.
