Criminal Suitings Supreme Court.

Tliose sittings commence at 10 o'clock on Monday morning next. There are not many cases on the calendar, and nsne of any serious importance. We understand that a few are expected i'rom Wanganui. His Honour the Judge has not yet returned from his judicial tour, but is expected either to-day or tomorrow. A Mililia district 4 order has been issued^ stating th U until further orders there will be do parade for the Militia in the Wellington and Wairarapa districts. The Bishop of New Zealand will preach a sermon on bbhaif of the Melnnesian Mission to-morrow morning at St. Paul's Church, and in the evening at St. Peter's. His Lordship was a passenger from the houth by the s.s. Tararut, on Thursday morning. The Timaru Herald, Muy 27, says some anxiety is felt on account of tlie steamer Geelong which' is now tour days overdue, having left Lyttelton on AI mdiiy last at noon. It U conjectured by some that she may have passed this port on her downward trip without calling. This, however, hardly appears to be likely, the Geclong having for this place, besides Lyttelton shipments, about 20 tons of her last Dunedm cargo, short landed haie on the 18th. It is rather, we think, probable that she is lying weather-bound in Akaroa, there having been during the last few clays a heavy south-easterly sea running off tlii« coast. The quarterly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday, at their room in High street. The following gentlemen were present : — Messrs.

Macpherson, Davis, Liurie, Coster, Wilson, E. A. H.irgreaves, Brownell, Milton, and Palmer. In the absence of Mr. Symington, Mr. Turner occuplei the chair. The minutes of the last meeting h iving been read and confirmed, the Chairman announced that the first business before the meeting was the election of new members. The following gentlemen were elected on a ballot being taken — Messrs Foster, L.L.D., Hennah, and Xiockhart. The Chairman nnnounecd that it had been anlioipated that the report of the committee on the Customs Tariff would havo been brought forward. It had been in the hands of the printer for sone days, but the committee had not been able to obtain copies of it. It was the desire of the sub committee that the matter should be thoroughly ventilated, and with that idea he would not bring it before this meeting. He hoped, however, that it would be brought forward shortly at a special meeting, and that there would be a large attendance of members present when the subject was discussed. It was one of the highest importance, and he might state that the committee had based their report on the highest figures which it had been suggested that the articles would bear. No other business being brought; foward, the Chamber ad journed. — Ljttellou Times, May 31.
