San Francisco Mail. —The steamer via* hinapua, with the Southern portion of the San Francisco mail on board, arrived along, side the wharf early Monday morning. The Weilington portion was sorted and ready for delivery by the postmen during the fore* noon. The Southern portion went on by the Manapouri in the afternoon. Young |Australia- — The Spectator has come to the conclusion that “ Young Aus* tralia desires to get the best of everything from this side of the globe, and when she has got enough to set up for herself.” This is the effect produced upon a philosophic mind by a careful study of the speeches recently delivered by Sir Henry Parkes and Mr Dibbs upon the Imperial Federation movement. Distance Increases Value.— The West, ern Mail, published at Perth, Western Australia, gravely informs its readers that ‘ 1 the repairs rendered necessary owing to the collision between the Rotorua and the Orowaiti have cost £S0,00O.” The total value of the two Bteamers does not amount to much more than the sum claimed by the Mail to have been paid for the damages sustained in the late collision. Bakers’ Union. —A well attended and enthusiastic meeting of the Bakers’ Union was held at Fraser’s rooms on Saturday night, the President, Mr T. Allen, in the chair. Fonr new members joined the Union, which now brings up the total numbers on the books to 54. The business transacted was principally of a trade character. With the exception of one or two, all the shops reported that the Union rules now in force were working very favourably. The meeting' was very unanimous, and everyone present seemed determined to stand by the Union rules. The Jubilee Service. —We mentioned some time ago that it was intended to hold a special choral service on the eve of Jnbiiee Day (the 21st inst.) It has now been decided (by the wish of the Bishop) that the same shall be held at St. Paul’s oro.cathedral Church. The choirs of the three Anglican Churches in this city will take part, aDd a first rehearsal took place on Monday evening at St. Paul’s Church. It is intended to use a service of Sir John Stainer’s for the canticles, and Sir John Goss’ anthem “Praise the Lord, O my soul ” (consisting of opening chorus, quartet “O pray for the peace of Jerusalem,” bass recitative and final fngue), and either Handel’s “Hallelujah” from “The Messiah ” or Beethoven’s “Hallelujah to the Father ” fron; “ The Mount of Olives,”
