The Queen of Spairi is one of the most beautiful sovereigns of Etirope. She is of the pure Spanish tyne, with vety black eyes and haii--, five features, and a' full figure. The Queen's Speech at the opening of Parliament was telegraphed to over 300 newspapers and 200 clubs and news-rooms, the deihitua fof the Speech being greater than on any previous occasion. It Contained 800 words, and took from from 4£ to g minutes in transmission to the proviuces by Wheatstone instruments, and from 17 to 30 minutes by the MorSe printer. The speech reached Alexandria in 34 minutes. The Edinburgh c'of re-Spot deta fc of fhe Otago Daily Times says.-— "Sir James Fergusson, who evinces an almost frantic desire to get iuto Parliament, has been beaten at more elections than any. other man in the country. On this occasion, as he was the only Conservative candidate as against three Liberals, he was very sanguine of success and the iriore ,so as he had secured the votes of the Established Church party, Roman Catholics, Orangemen ahd pttblicans. In spite of this motley support, howe* : er', Sir James found himself 59 votes behiud Mr. Stewarfc, one of the Liberal candidates, and forced as at Erome, to vent his chagrin ih silly predictions based upon what would have taken place,' if &c. , &c. , " • The Wanganui Hkrald says ;— Another instance of the temerity and vofaicity of rats occurred at the residence of Dr JEafle on Sunday night. The family having sometime retired to rest, Mrs Earle was disturbed by the restlessness of ber little baby that sl ept in a crib by the bed side, and alarmed at the sleeplessness of the little one, took her to her side. The child continued restless, and Mrs Ei rie on passing her hand over the child's face, felt a rat at her mouth. Grasping the animal she dashed it to the floor, and on striking a light found that the child bad been severely bitten on the lip, and also on the hand. " Amongst Friendly Societies the 1.0.0. F. holds a distinguished position in America and on the continent of Europe. It is, however, comparatively unknown in this colony, although ifc ' is making rapid strides. The members of the Order in Dunedin have recently erected a fine hall, and this was dedicated on Monday week with appropriate and impressive ceremonies, after which a poem, which well embodies some of the grand principles of the order wa3 read by its author, Mr Thomas Bracken.
