J It is believed (says yesterday's 'Herald') that the Oovemmeiit steamer Hincirioa will leave to-day for the Kawau, and, after remaining there a few hours, sail direct with the Premier, his Private Secretary, and Mr and Mrs Seymour George and family, for Wellington. The Hon. the Native Minister goes! to Waikato by special train to-morrow (Saturday) morn-,' ing, to meet Rewi, and, after transacting some business with him, will return to Hamilton ; after which, he will drive overland to the Thames, to interview Tnkokmo, to settle some matters in dispute about the continuance of the Thames and Ohinemuri road. Mr Sheehan will stay at Grahamstown a couple of days. Trinity Presbyterian Chuboh, CamBRiDa-'. — Arrangement s have now been made for holding service in this church Gvcry Sunday evening, in addition to the morning service eaoh alternate Sunday. The Rev. Mr Evans recently announced that he puipjscs delivering a course of Sunday evening lectures, founded on scenes described in Banyan's ' Pilgrim's Progress' — that of to-morrow being on the life and times of Juhn Bunyan. Discourses having reference to Bunyan' s allegory have bficn delivered by many eminent divines, and no doubt in .Mr Evans' hinds tho subjects will be made both interesting and instructive. A Quadeillb Pahty, wider the auspices of the Independent Order of Free Templars, will be held iu the Victoria Hall, Hamilton, on Tuesday evening next. Cambridge Faumkrs' Club. — The ufiuul monthly meeting of tho members of tho Club will take place on Monday evening next. That Mr Potter was going to retire from the butchering business in Hamilton has been generally understood for some time. Mr 11. Salmon, whose well known experience as a butcher, in Auckland, entitles him to tho confidence of the people of Hamilton, has purchased the business, and has now entered on the occupation of Mr Potter's late premises, in Victoria street. Mr Salmon had the reputation, when in business in Auckland, of keeping a first-class butchers shop, and intends doing the same thing in Hamilton, and, also, to sell at Auckland prices, and especially low for cash, enabling those who do pay their butcher's bill to escape their share of payment for those who do not. Some time since, there was a fall in the price of meat in Hamilton, but, when meat rose last winter, prices went up, and have, somehow, forgotten to fall again. Father Hennsbury purposes visiting Hamilton towards the end of the month. He will bo accompanied by the Vicar(.reneral, Father Fynes, and Father Mahouey. It is expected that ho will open his mission at East Hamilton on Sunday, the 26th instant, and conclude it on the following Sunday, holding daily lectures aud services throughout the wook.
