(Fr*om our own correspondent.) November 12. The convent bazaar, which was opened by the Premier in the Zealandia Hall on Saturday evening, October 29, was well supported throughout the ten days, and was brdught to a close on last Wednesday evening. The net proceeds will be well over £700 clear, and considering that this is the third bazaar held in this to 1-*1 -* n wilhin the pas>L tlucc montiio, the lcsult may be con idered very creditable to all engaged in making it such a success. On Tnursday, Novembei 3, his Excellency the Governor, according to promise, visited the bazaar, where he spent some considerable time in admiring the various stalls and making purchases from each. lie paid a decided compliment to No. 2 stall (art and flower), ordering a collection of most beautilul roses to be sent to Government House. During each evening Mr. P. Tombs' string band played a charming variety of high-clasis music, whilst on the large stage minuets, gavottes, Grecian fan dances, Highland fling's, and skirt dances, by the trained pupils of Miss Culling, were pioceeded with at intervals. The energetic and indefatigable hon. secretary, Mr. W.
