Ltttelton Garbick Club. — The members : of ibis dramatic socitty will give a per- - formance on Tuesday evening next, for the benefifc of the Colonists' Society. The pieces chosen are "A Race for a Dinner," and " Cherry Bounce." HoniicoLTOiiAL Society.— A {meeting of the committee was held at White's Hotel last evening; Mr Duncan occupied the chair, and Messrs Gordon, Norman, West, M'William, Gibba, Spicer, Gilmour, Miln, and Ash ton, were present. The minutes of last meeting were read and confirmed. The secretary read the report of the subcommittee appointed to draw up the schedule. The various items of the schedule were then gone through and passed. Messrs Duncan and Son exhibited a number of blooms of cinrierarias, which were considered superior varieties, aud well grown.

Total Abstinence Society. — An entertainment took place at the Temperance Hall Gloucester street, last evening, and was numerously attended. The programme comprised a number of vocal and instrumental selections, and some readings, and the entertainment afforded every satisfaction to the audience. The price of admission was one penny. Theatre Rotal. — "Black Sheep" deservedly attracted a good house laßt night, although the weather was anything but of a favourable nature. The dress circle was particularly well patronised, and the drama was put upon the stage with no less success than on the previous representations. The cast was unaltered and there was nothing calling for a further criticism of the acting. Suffice it that the audience were fully satisfied with it, conferring frequent tokens of approval. Othello will be re-produced tonight, but with an exchange of parts between Mr Steele and Mr Wolfe, the former playing lago and the latter Othello. Supreme Court.— His Honor Mr Justice Gresaon sat in the Court Chambers at 11 o'clock this morning. Re Thomas Hudson. — On the application of Mr Slater, an order was made annulling the order of adjudxation. Re William Richard Wade.- His Honor made the final order of discharge in this case. Law Practitioners' Act and re John McGregor. — Mr Duncan, on behalf of the Law Society of Canterbury, applied to have Mr McGregor committed to prison for a contravention of the above Act. Mr McGregor filed affidavits, shewing cause against the rule. McGregor and Mackay gave contradictory evidence, and his Honor made no rule, remarking that he trusted the action of the Law Society would be a caution to non-solicitors in future. Popular Amusement 3. — A meeting of the committee of the Popular Amusement Association was held at 4 p.m. yesterday, Mr J. A. Bird presiding. After the transaction of some routine business relating to finance (which was considered satisfactory), it was decided that the series of popular entertainments should be continued — the next to take place on Tuesday, July 5. A miscellaneous programme was sketched out, consisting of vocal and instrumental music, t is contemplated to have the competition for Mr Bradwell's recitation prize on the following Tuesday fortnight, and at the same time to offer prizes for the best vocal solo by a lady and the same by a gentleman. We are informed thaijthe committee also purposes giving a set of prizes for the best glee, to be performed by four male voices, unaccompanied. Meesrs Haast, Crosbie, Thomson, Mitchell j and Packer, were appointed as a committee to arrange the next programme. The committee thereupon adjourned until Tuesday next, at 4 p.m. Insubordination at Rome. — The Paris Univers of Thursday relates two incidents of rather remarkable character. A theologian in attendance upon an Armenian Bishop having in Julged in language repugnant to authority was ordered to retire into a monastery. He refused, and the officers of the Vicariste attempted to arrest him. The theologian escaped from their hands and took refuge with bis Bishop, who has protested against the action of the authorities, and thus the matter remains at present. The other circumstance was still more serious. An Apostolic Visitation having been directed to the Armenian convent of the Antonims, the Bishop refused to admit the Apostolic Visitor. An order was obtained from the the Pope commanding the Bishop to make a retreat in a Dominican monastery. The prelate refused obedience, and has written to the Bishop of Marseilles to obtain; the protection of France against the Holy Father. """JPTEI.EGBAPH TO SOUTH AMERICA. — The telegraphic line between Valparaiso and Buenos Ayree, across the Andes, will soon be erected. Messrs Clark and Co., of Valparaiso, have succeeded in arranging this most important enterprise ; the first portion of the line is now being shipped in London for Rosario. As the Panama, West India, and Pacific line will be ex ended to Peru, this will be united with the Transandine line from Valparaiso, and as the Argentine and Brazilian Governments have granted a concession for another cable to be laid from the coast of Brazil to the West Indies, there will be in a short time a direct communication with the whole of South America, by two lines. ■ The telegraph between Valparaiso and Buenos Ayres will be constructed entirely with iron poles, and the best materials that can be obtained in England. The Argentine Government has granted a subsidy to this telegraph company of £6000 a year, and that of Chili will add at least £2000 more. A San Francisco Hotel.— -The Grand Hotel of San Francisco is 335 feet in length, by 206 feet in depth. It contains 400 rooms, and will accommodate 600 guests. The hotel is a complete frame building, surrounded, by brick walls. The frame is of heavy timber, bolted, braced, and strapped together with massive iron bolts, bars, and anchors, attaining a strength almost rivalling that of a ship. To this frame the brick walls are appropriately fastened. But, should the city ever be visited by an earthquake so destructive as to throw down these brick walls, they must needs fall outward, and will leave standing the skeleton of the Grand Hotel, with its roof and floors unmoved. A description of the hotel is given in the Californian Advertiser, which is unique as a specimen of barefaced business-like puffing. Referring to the furniture of the rooms on the lower storey, the writer in the Advertiser says : — " Some of them are furnished with a luxury and costliness which subdue the soul of the beholder to an attitude of apologetic respectfulness. Carpets (Axminster), to which one instinctively removes his hat and treads daintily, as upon eggs ; silkcovered furniture, to whom one is impelled to make a deprecatory obeisance before sitting upon , him (sic) ; mirrors, mounted in rich frames, into which one gazes with an expression of humility not usual when he looks into mirrors, and as who should say — ' Pardon !

I hope I don't intrude ; ' in brief, «ntire suite of furniture of a quality which it is not ou customary privilege to look upon." Seculab Educauon. — A High Churcl clergyman on secular education :— " The Rev Archer Gurney, in a letter to the John Bui advocates the secular system as the only prac tieable one. Regarding the matter from i High Churchman's point of view, Mr Gurnej says-—" It is far better to separate secular am doctrinal teaching, and call on the clergy tc supply the latter systematically, than to sd about devising a system of ' unsectarian' reli gious instruction without any definite teach ing whatsoever." Mr Gurney proceeds— "] have no animosity to Dissenters, God knows I cannot but hope the time will come wher we shall absorb them all, or nearly aU^^ajl when (he Wesleyan organisation and others may still be retained under the form of confraternities within the church. I also most frankly admit that religious teaching may be overdone for the young, but I also cannot but think that it is the clergyman's business to give it rather than the schoolmaster's at the least to superintend. But now, the object ia to get rid of clerical influence altogether. The laity have their place in Sundae schools, but the instructor of the young in their religion should be the parish priest. I must object for one to a wholly colourless and permissible religious teaching, given officially and drily by a lay schoolmaster, as a matter of hard work. How churchmen can favour such a scheme I am at a loss to conjecture. To exclude dogma in the study of the Gospels seems literally The doctrines, or rather dogmas, of the Trinity, the Incarnation, and Atonement, are the only keys that open the Sacred Scriptures. Familiarity with sacred things without love and reverence is most injurious, ae>, one would think, all good men must admit." Home Customs in Japan.— M. Humbert, the Swiss Minister at Jeddo, has just published some amu>ing details of the domestic life of the Japanese. In Japan marriage is the universal habit. Almost the only exceptions are to be found in the case of certainmonastic orders and among the ladies in attendance upon the empress. Men marry at about 20 and women at fifteen years of age, but except in the Buddhist sects the act is marked by no religious ceremony. Among the presents displayed is always to be seen « double-lipped va3e. At a given moment one of the bridesmaids adianoo*, nils it with saAt.aati-presentff it alternately to the bridegroom and bride until the goblet is emptied. Under this symbol the idea is conveyed that together the husband and wife must drink the cup of conjugal life to the dregs— whether it be filled with ambrosia or with gall. Japanese mothers have greater authority over their children than their fathers, and the rights of womci are so far recognised in the country that a woman has wielded the sceptre of the Mikados. But to return to the home life. The law of the country insists that each child shall be daily exposed to the air without clothes and with its head shaved, and in spite of both rain and sun. During infancy the child's ordinary playmates are a fat, short-legged dog, and fatter tailless cat. Instruction is never forced upon either parents or children ; it is. supposed to recommend itself naturally by its own intrinsic merits ; and every man and woman throughout the empire is able to read, write, and cipher. The thirtieth day after birth every citizen receives his first name; on attaining his majority he takes a second, a third on hit marriage, a fourth on being invested with any public function, which he changes upon attaining each higher grade, and so on to the name given to him after his death. The last is engraved on his tomb, and he is by it known to all succeeding generations. Counsel fob the Defence in Oregon.— The following is from All the Year Round : — In the United States (and indeed also in Canada) there is no distinction between barrister and attorney, and in the newer settlements to become either requires little study. It used to be said that in some parts of Oregon all a man had to do to be admitted an attorney was to go round for some time with a law book under his arm, and talk " constitootion" in front of " grocery" doors. One of these attorneys delivered a famous defence of a man who was caught in the act of stealing a hank of cotton yarn.- It ran something like this: " Gentlemen of the jury, do yon think my client, Thomas Flinn, of Muddy Creek and the Big Willamette, would be guilty o' stealin' a hank o' cottingyarn? Gentlemen of the jury, I reckon not, 1 s'pose not. By no manner of means, gentlemen, not at all 1 He are not guilty ! Tom Flinn I Good heavens 1 Gentlemen, you all know Tom Flinn, and, on honour, now, gentlemen, do you think he'd do it? No, gentlemen ! I s'pose not — I reckon not. Thomas Flinn ? Why" (warming up with virtuous indignation) " why great snakes and alligators I Tom's a whole team on Muddy Creek and a hoas to let! And (insinuatingly) "do you think he'd sneak off with a miserable hanko' cotting yarn ? Well, gentlemen, I reckon not. I s'pose not 1 When the wolves was a howling, gentlemen, on the mountings of Oregon, and the milishy was a flgthing of the In j ins on Rogue River, do you think, gentlemen, my client, Thoma3 Flinn, Esq., could be guilty o' hookia'— yes, hookin', gentlemen— that pitiful, low, mean, hank o' cotting yarn ? Onpossible ! Gentlemen, I reckon I know my'cliant, Mr Thomas Flinn. He's got thefasteat nag and the purtiest sister, gentlemen, in all Mudjy Creek and the Big, Willamette! That, gentlemen,' are a fact. : Yes, gentleman, that are a fact. You kin Just bet on that, gentlemen. Yes, gentlemen, you can jist bet your bones on that ! Now, 'pon honor, gentlemen, do you think be are guilty? Gentlemen, I reckon— I fl'pose not. Why, gentlemen (indignantly beginning to believe it Himself), my client, Mr Thomas Finn am no more guilty of stealin' that ear bank o'cottin' yarn than a toad has got a tail. Yes, a tail, gentlemen 1 than a toad has got a tail." Verdict for defendant, case dismissed, and court adjourned to whiskey up at late prisoner's expense.

A judicial m^y has been commenced. Railways MExico.-j.the ]aß t number of the Diarw Official of Mixico contains the subjoined account of the woflcs of the Mexican Railway Company CM«fc 0 to Vera Cruz) at Ghiquihmte, one of fi^e aostformid-i able points of the entire undertaking :— • After leaving the station of Paao del Macho, the road passes, by means of a bridge 300 ft long and 100 ft high, that immense neck of Jana which separates the base of the first level portion of the Cordillera from the plains of the terra caliente, or the hot country. This bridge, the mason-work of which is entirely finished, only lacks the iron floor in order to be opened to the public. Having passed this great work, we arrive, by a series of curves, as boldly as scientiflcalVy run, at the great bridge of San Alejo, which is not as high as that of Paso del Macho, but several feet longer. From San Alejo to Chiquihuite there is nothing but deep cuts through the solid rock, and enormous terre?-" pleins, making the great inequalities of that broken ground entirely disappear. Chiquihuite bridge which is over 300 ft long, is elevated more than 150 ft above that abyss where the foaming cold stream that gives its name to this part of the mountain for ever leaps and boils. The boldest spirit would not suspecjtgfhe real tours deforce conceived in the running of this road, accomplished by tfie skill 6i Mr Buchanan, and completedjuder-the direction of Mr Branidi-«*»cfo£ construction. On leavinfftTje-kridgeTthTroad follows the main higuwayfor some distance, by a terreplein of eofe high, supported by a wall loft thick, and suddenly, as in the shifting of scenes in a theatre, the road runs around the mountain, suspended on its sides. It was necessary to cut it through solid rock, of which the side of the mountain is composed. The labourers engaged in this unequalled piece of work have to hold on to the rocks, and are held up by ropes, which makes them resemble at a distance bees in a honeycomb. The road continues for about 100 metres along that track' before it enters the first tunnel of 150 ft in length; it again reappears only to continue its aerial route, and again disappears in a tunnel of 350 ft. From this tunnel the road passes over a small iron bridge, raised 800 ft above the bottom of the ravine." The Cobden Club. — The Argus gives the following information of a London institution identified with free trade : — Although or comparatively recent origin, its list of members comprises men of the highest renown in Europe and America. There are 333 ordinary members, of whom 162 are members of the Legislature, and also 66 honorary members, most of whom are foreigners of distinction, M. Emile Ollivier is among the latter — an unmistakeable proof of the high intelligence which influences the association. Prince Sapieha, Count Durckheim, Baron Max Yon Kiiber, and other distinguished men of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, prove how ready people in out-of-the-way quarters are to appreciate the importance of free interchange. The appearance of the name of David Wells appears to mark a turning-point in the history of the United States, and seems to indicate the beginning of a new era in the progress of his country. Quinuy Adams, Reverdy Johnson, and many other Americans of keen intellect, add the weight of their names to the list. Gladstone i» of course there, and the name of Childers — once so reviled, even when away from us, by the protectionists — figures prominently with the prefix of right honoarable. It may startle a good number of our Orange friends to learn that General Garibaldi is as staunch as an anti-protectionist as he is as an opponent of Papistry. H.R.H. Comte de Paris, side by side with H.I.ET. Prince Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte and M. Kouber, shows that though opposed in politics they are too enlightened and comprehensive in their views of human progress not to be as one upon matters of mportance to the welfare of their country. Signor Figuerola notifies that Spain is not all Sancho Panza in matters of finance ; and Sumner, notwithstanding his speech on the Alabama question, is down for honorary membership. Russia, Belgium, Germany, and other countries, with few exceptions,, have, contributed their most prominent names. Mill, Smith, Rogers, and other pre-eminentiv ' well-known names need not be stated. Altcl j| gether . the phalanx is an unquestionab ■ strong one. Could not our legislators, reasc ing upon these facts, endeavour to give eff' to the opinions of men of such high stands not one of whom considers protectionism * be otherwise than the fundamental cur* nations.- ,-i The Tkaffio on the Sues Canal.^ 1 ® report re&d at the meeting of the Suez-'! 1 .

The company which has : pro vid(* .* these miniature specimens* has carefully ct ; V tecied statistics to show the working I • tramways in America, Canada, and % I

> European cities where they have been intro?3 '.uced. From them it seems that in New ''■} fork, in the year 1867,78 millions of passen- "■} ;ers were conveyed by 4380 horses, while in ,*-; .ondon 6677 horses drew only half that nums( >er. In Stuttgart, daring 1868, the street %\ ramways carried 60 times the number of the &J K>pulation ;in London the proport : on was 0] nly 13 2-3rds. If the actual tramway works ?■'-, 3 the model promises, there can be no doubt >' ha objections which proved fatal to the '■j' Ichetr.e when it was tried before will be no '■ bnger heard of, and all who have tried the ; jsperitnent must acknowledge that on the r 3W»re of comfort the tramway car bears . somewhat the same comparison to the ordi 4 V'Sry omoibue as the apringless cart does to ; % phaetOD. However, there is room in ?r^ry large town for both systems, and the use of both for a very long time to come will ba.-a necessity not to be avoided. Perhaps ■3ite of the most effective tramways at work iv England is a line running through Salford. ■ The main rails ure simple iron plates " flush " v'-i«*»h the roadway, but in the centre there is " ■••■*'?? rait. with a thin deep groove, and li;-, ; . i . i .runs a guiding wheel, which the ,y .-.>''.■':;--■•'••"•■ Si .-r-^at at pleasure. Hence, if the jij4:>r -C r " demands it, he leaves the . " -■^-i l ' ' back again to the familiar -/^^)ve wititoat trouble or delay. The tramI j&J||p we are to have in Loadon will not allow ! |f|||||ny such deviation, and the wider i r^^P^Snfares will not, of course, so much g§ E^|f|ffi'e tbe advantage.
