She Influx. Wjelmngton, June 10. . The Premier has cabled to the Austra lian Premiers that in view of the influx from Australia it is necessary to state that there is difficulty in finding employment for those already her,e, and people coming to New Zealand in winter without means may have to enduie hardship and pri vation. A. Tlorlnt. Among the visitors to Wellington is Mr J. Veitch, of the well-known English horticultural firm, who is travelling the world in search of new plants. He has spent two years in this work, and expects to be ten weeks in New Zealand. He says a good many IS ew Zealand plants are already acclimatised at Home, but many of them are only grown in a halt hearted way. Snow. Snow fell in theßangitik i district last night', the heaviest fall during the past fifteen ye*ra.

Ashburton Musical Society.

The Musical Society gave their second Concert last evening, under most dis advantageous circumstances. The weather was the worst possible for concert giving —cold as a northern winter, with a snow and sleet laden gale blowing the greater part of the l*te afternoon and early even ing—so that a large audience could not be hoped for. There were, however, about seventy present—not at all an encouraging house for a chorus of thirty six to sing to. The "May Queen," Sterndale Bennett's cantata, was the piece de resistance, and was gone through with wonderful spirit considering the depress ing conditions, and the several choruses went fairly well together. The principals were—Soprano, " The May Queen." Mrs 6. E. Dodds ; contralto, " The Queen," Mrs J. B. Mayne ; tenor, '• The Lover," Mr H. G, Flower ; bass, " Robin Hood," Mr Peter Williams, and all acquitted themselves with credit, Mr Williams being in better form than usuul, Mr Booth was an excellent conductor. Mrs Claridge was the pianist, and the Orchestral Society lent valuable aid. The various numbers were well received, indeed. The second part of the concert was made up of miscellaneous items, Miss Annie Gates being encored for her song, *• Never again," and Miss Steel for "At the ferry," The Rev T. A. Hamilton, Mr D. Booth, and Mr J. Kersal contri buted songs, and Mr H. McKay's violin playing with Mr Llevrellyn Owen at the piano was one of the best numbers of the evening. A piano duet by Mrs J. B. Mayne and Miss Douglas was also a finished performance, while the two glees, *' Where art thou, beam of light 1" and "Who will o'er the downs so free V were really enjoyable pieces of concerted music. " God save the Queen " closed a concert that would very well bear repeating under more favourable circumstances.

A drunken man was arrested at Christ church on Friday night, and when taken to the police depot was found to have £57 in his possession. By advertisemement it will be seen that members of the Druids' lodge are requested to attend the funeral to-morrow of the late wife of Bro. J. Mulford. Members will assemble at the lodge room at 1 p.m. The Aorangi, from Plymouth via Teneriffe and Capetown, arrived at Hobart this morning, and sailed for Wellington in the afternoon. She has forty-eight passengers for New Zealand and two for Australia. A Christchurch telegram says—lt is blow ing hard from the south-west and the weather is bitterly cold. It haa been snow ing in the city since eleven o'clock, and the hills are covered right down to the base. Ihe Hon J. E. Jenkinson was entertained by the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants at a social, gathering last night. About 80 gentlemen were present. The proceedings were marked with great en thusiasm. . Mr Robert Alcorn, taking a hint from the fearfully cold weather of last night, has made a substantial reduction in hia prices for blankets, a demand for which cannot but follow the setting in of weather that turns everything liquid into ice. See advertisement. Before Major Steward, J.P., this morn ing, Joseph Thomas Knight, who had been remanded for a week to see if work could be got for him, and failing this, assistance from the Charitable Aid Board, was dis charged, the police having ascertained that he had money in the savings bank at Ran giora.—Mary Petty, an old offender and a confirmed drunkard, was remanded to Lyttelton for a week for medical treatment. The weather has become quite wintry, and in strong contrast to what we have been experiencing during the past ten days. On Friday night snow fell, but not very heavily, but the south-west wind that bi ought it was cold enough to cut one in two. The low temperature continued all night, and the frost wan intense enough to retain on the doorsteps facing the weather pretty deep wreaths of frozen gleet. The Domain was frozen over this morning at the smim ming bath, at the middle dam, and at the lower reservoir, and all the town channels were icebound. Although bright sunshine succeeded in the forenoon the temperature was still very low, and one had to stir about •' pretty lively " to keep warm. The weather has been very cold in the south and snow storms are reported.
