Dr Ritson, secretary of the British and Foreign Bible Society, sails from London on January 18 to consult the various auxiliary societies in Australia and New Zealand. tc I was * faad * beautifully by the French Consul about going on shore at Tahiti,** writes a Christchurch lady to her son from San Francisco. “He made me pay him £2. or else, he said, •we could not go asihore at this place, where we would be anchored for twenty-four hours, I told at the time that T thought it was wrong, but the said it was the new rule, and that we took the risk of being arrested if we nut foot on French soil without paying this sum. So when we did go on shore I asked one of the officials, and he laughed and said we could go anywhere we liked on tho island without paying a single franc.”
