Mbliotjbmb Stodimts.— -Tha Argus says that on Saturday evening, 18th inst., the students of the Melbourne University paid an unexpected visit to the exhibition to celebrate the close of the July term, and indulged ia some rather extraordinary antics, which, although good-natured in their intention, were not altogether happy in their results. The students, in cap and gown, to the number of about 200, arrived at the Nicholson street entrance at about 8 o’clock, and presented themselves at the turnstiles. The majority of them paid for admission, but as their progress was obstructed by the attendant, who was alarmed at thsir demonstrative behaviour, about 60 of them, careless of consequence* and determined to get in, jumped the barrier. They then formed in procession, the medical students leading with a banner bearing the well-known emblem of skull and oroasbones. To emphasise the moral of the skull and crossbones, about 30 femur or thigh beats, vouched for as human, were carried by the youthful Galana, Then came the law students and engineers, carrying banners. Some of the students were previded with musical instruments, and as they marched through the main hall singing they made u very imposing display. The exhibition wss crowded at the time, and the sudden invasion •f a host of demonstrative undergraduates caused some amusement to the spectators and some dismay among those who were responsible for the preservation of order. In kindly consideration for Mr F. H. Oowen, the singug was discontinued when passing under the dome in front of the concert hall, but wss resumed again when the Grand Avenue of Nations was reached. At the northern dome the preoisiion diverged to the left, and passed ■leng Ibe main west avenue to the ornamental lake, where the students took possession of one of the kiosks which was not in use. Here an uproarious comedy was enaetsd. An exhibition cantata, the combined production of three students, wss sung by Mr H. Francis, the whole of the company joining in the chorus. Mrs Mahoney, charged at the Auckland Supreme Court yesterday with arson, was found “ not guilty ” after nearly two hours' deliberation. The criminal sessions have closed,
