Now that thay vere coming to the conclusion of their labours, the larger colonies seemed more timid in regard to the terms which they had previously granted to the smaller colonies, and seemed to fear that the smaller states desired to make the Senate so etrong that it would give it a preponderating influence, and thus enable it to over rule the desires of the larger States The only object, he siid, was to clothe the Senate with power to prevent hasty legislation. He sompiained that the press of Sydney and Melbourne especi ally had exercised undue influence on the deliberations of the Convention.

PRESBYTERIAN REUNION.

* The annual reunion of Ashbiirton Presby i terians took plaow in the Oddfellows' Hall last evening, and about 500 people attended to celebrate the twenty-first anniversary of the church. Tea was served at six o'clock at eights tables, the gifts of Mesdames Hunter, Baxter, Orr, Hepburn, and Johnstonj two " syndicate "tables; and one given by the bachelors, and taken charge of by Miss Dodda and the Misses Askin, assisted also by the bachelors themselves. The hall having been cleared the after meeting began. On the stage were the Rev G. B. Inglia, who presided, Rev Dr Erwin (Ohrietohurch), Rev Mr Skinner (Tinwald), und Rev. Mr Taylor (Ashburtcn), besides a choir and orchestra numbering nearly fifty members. The Chairman was the first speaker, and after giving & short history of the church in Ashburton, spoke happily on the duty of happiness and the happiness of duty. Incidentally he referred to the faofc that this was the twenty-first anniversary of the church, which was opened ia 1876, although ! services were held in the district as early as 1873. When the Rev H. B. Burnett was pastor of the church the district) extended from the Rakaia river to the Hinds, and from the hills to the sea. Now, the same country was served by five ministers, with twenty-three preaching plaoeß. The Rev Mr Taylor spoke on work, giving some interesting reminiscences of his own experience in church work. Dr Erwin's subject, admirably treated, was sincerity and zeal, aad Rev Mr Skinner was as usual humorous to the full, but between his sallies he waa able to put in much that was valuable by way of lesson. Apologies were tendered for the absence of the Waimate clergyman and the Rev Mr Hamilton, Ashburton. The musical programme comprised " The link divine," by Mr Kersel; " The refuge of the soul," by Mr Oraighead ; "Jerusalem," by Mrs Bruce ; "For the children's sake," by Miss Barratt—all admirably sung; and the following anthems by the choir, "Ye shall dwell in the Sand," "Seek ye the Lord," "0, taste and see," and " 0 glad some light. Messrs Brock and Raid 'moved the usual votes of thanks, after the passing of which the meetiug was closed.
