Last week appears to have been exceedingly gay at Canterbury, as in addition to the race meeting, there was an Agricultural and Pastoral Exhibition, to the description of which the Lyttelton Times devotes eight columns of small type; a Horticultural Show; a cricketmatch between an eleven of Canterbury and fifteen " Colts;" a ten-mile foot-race between Toung Austin, the Australian champion, aud Shell, the latter having 600 yards start, Austin proving the winner; a Volunteer Review ; and a grand Bazaar, in aid of the building fund of St. Michael's Church, which realised about £600.
The Is com ng Suez Mail. — The October Suez mail, with detailed news up to October 16, and telegraph advices up to Nov. 2, is due at Mel- , bourne on Nov. 24. The Eangitoto is advertised to leave Melhourne for New Zealand ports, on Nov. 23, via Elokitika, and, judging by experincc, she will bring at least the mail news. But as the Malta is the P. and 0. boat from Galle, the probability is, that the mail will reach Melbourne before its due date. In that case, we may expect the Kangitoto to bring on the New Zealand portion.
