THE REV. CHARLES CLARK.

The following paragraph has been Bent to us for publication: — In the passenger list of-j the Birigarooma, we notice -the name of Mr R. S. Smy the, described \by the -American t -' press as " the most travelled manager m tlie world," and who introduced Madame Arabella'Goddard, Miss Christian, "and other, artistes . to this , country. Mr Sinytke, who accompanied- the- Bievi Charles Clark to the Centennial, and through, the United States and Canada, has returned to tlie colonies, by the Lusitania, to . arrange andthef 'tour for the eminent lecturer. It was m New .: Zealand, three years ago, that r > Mr Clark commenced that .brilliant platform career which induced Jiim to give up pulpit ministrations, except m aid . of some charitable object ; and during that interval, m Australia, Amerfca, and. '-England, according to the "Christian "World," his reception has been equally eritHu'sfas tic with, that accorded to liirn m this country. Since te he was ; last here; Mr Clark has niade several additions to .-his list of entertainments, which now includes lectures on the Tower of Eoifdon,^ Charles Dickens (two lectures), Oliver G-pld-smith, Christmas m Old England, - Thackeray, Qliver , Cromwell, Westminster Abbey, the Merrie Monarch, and Macaulay. The last five lectures have not been delivered m New Zealand. ; Mr. Clark is .expected at Auckr ; land' by the' next "Calif ornian mail steamer so that he may be looked for m W3pngton m about a month. [Ascwe are informed that the celebrated lecturer intends to travel-overland frbnifNapier to Wellington, we would - suggest that, he would: probably find it worth ins while to stay a night or two m Palmers ton.] v ; ;; ; ,l
