CANTERBURY CATHOLIC LITERARY SOCIETY.

The above Society held its weekly meeting on Tuesday the 2nd init., when the attendance was very fair. The programme — impromptu debates — proved a very intaresting one, the majority of the members taking much interest in the subjects. One especially, " Are the Irish people the best adherents to the Catholic faith," bringing oat a largo number of the members ; and, on the whole, the programme proved very interesting. The meeting closed with prayer. On the 17th inst., the Rev: Father Le Menant des chesnais, B.M , is going to give a lecture on Ireland — past, present, and future— and no doubt it will prove a great treat to the members. All visitors will be cordially welcomed by the Society.
