Mr H, Braithwaito was voted to the chair and there were about 40 persons present. There was an attempt on the motion of Mr Kells to pass a voto of no confidence but there were only threo hands held up in favour of it, and a vote of thanks cirried amidst groat applause. Mr Kells asked Mr Buchanan if he voted against the Education Board giving the children a free passage to tho Wellington. Exhibition. And Mr Buchanan replied that he did,' because he thought the Boards money should not .bo used for that purpose, when the state of the funds would not justify it.: Regarding tho free passage of the members' to the Christchurch Exhibition in the Hinomoa, Mr Buchanan said the Government' tea mer was available no extra sum of money was voted for that purpose.

The annual exhibition of the Welling ton Poultry, Pigeon, Canary, and Doj Association was opened in the Drillshec yesterday afternoon.

The dogs include almost ever} breed from the diminutive toy terrier nc larger than a kitten ■up to the St. Bernard as big as a calf. The breeds ol poultry aro very varied, and the specimens are for tho most part fiiio. Mr C. Pharazyn's lecture on " What I have seen in Europe," was delivered ir, St. Matthew's Schoolroom last evening, before a small but appreciative audience, the wet cold weather evidently proving fatal to a largo attendance. This was ii matter of re/ret, as the subject matter ol the lecture was of very consklerablt interest, and a very large number oi residents in this community missed a ran opportunity of obtaining reliable and valuable information. Mr Pharazyr commenced by pointing out that ho had not realized his own ignorance of Europe till he travelled through it. Most poopk especially the young, expected too mucl: in visiting remarkable scenes and places, and were consequently disappointed, He was surprised to find in crossing from England to France, that instead of ahead of;"this Colony, the miserable, wretched steamers were , a long way behind our New Zealand brats. Thu was one of his first disaltusions. He then briefly described the splondours of Paris, and the interesting features of Marseilles. .He drew an animated sketch nf the Nice ■ Carnival, and painted vividly the gambling centre of Europe "Monte Carlo." .He next took his audience to "the City !of Palaces "Genoa," and from theuco to 'the-weird loaning tower of Pisa, and on 'to Rome, a city li'o considered' to bo the mostattraefcivo'spot in the world, where alone it was- possible to realise what ancient history really was. Naples was the next point of. interest'in the lecture,'the' clear blue aky there.rendudod him of the fine days of New Zealand-. He gave in this lecture a vivid picture'of the wondms of Vesuvius, Pompeii, and Herculaneum. Switzerland with its mountains and glacions was the next item on the programme, and from these the lecturer passed on to Germany and Spain giving a characteristic sketch ot tho.-National amusement of the-latter country viz. tho bull-light. Speaking' of tho manners and customs" of the various people- among ■ whom : ho travelled, he referred to the poverty and indolence of tlie Neopolifcaiiß, yet they appeared con,'tonted and happy He contrasted also the careworn look he saw on faces which were met in Emdand with the happy countenances presented iu Spain. In France every poasant had tho manners of a gentleman and the boorishness met with in Enplish Villages was altogether absent. After spending four years abroad he came back more contented than ever to live in New Zealand, the anxious look of the people in England destroying the pleasure of living there. He felt sure that those who lived in New Zealand had no reason to complain. (Applause). The Rev. WE. Paige moved, ■ and--Mr G. Boetham seconded a cordial vote of thanks to tho lecturer. We trust on somo future occasion Mr Pharazyn may favor, us with a second address on-his American experiences. If so/we can safely promise him a larger, though not a mora attentive audience than the one which listened to him with so much pleasure last evening. - A very livoly quarrel is 'proceeding in Wellington regarding Truth, a small weokly religious newspaper, originally fostered, if not founded,'by-a-Mr Gordon Forking, for the amiable purpose of destroying the Roman Catholic religion. It is generally understood that the Hon. J. Ballauce has recently subsidised Truth, for the purpeso of propagating his Protection views, and praising his land scheme, and Mr Forking consequently advertised chat he (Forlong) was not in anyway connected'.with Truth newspaper. The editor of the journal in question (supposed to be Mr Ballanco) retaliates by declaring that Mr Forlong desired to contribute certain articles "which were outside of all Christian charity,," and oajs Mr Forlong wrote to him as follows:—" The Romanists will begin attacks soon, I expect, or get up a libel, or pokon yon? Poor Mr Ballance, or whoever the editor may be, naturally remarks that he has "no desire to suffer martyrdom for the sake-of Mr Forlong," and sensibly adds that he "felt that the time was past when the world was to be won for Christ by these means." The irrepressiblo Forlonp, by no means daunted, advertises that he hopes soon to be in: attendance in Wellington, when he will reply "practically as well as theoretically." We shall watch for the meeting between the rival editors with much interest, and a hope that they will be calmer when it takes placo. The Frisco Mail has arrived at Auckland. Lovers of the Rink are reminded that the pastime will be indulged in this evening at the Theatre Royal, Mastorton.
