A Declaimer of the Govern ment.

CHRISTCHURCH. Saturday, 12.40 p.m. Mr John McLaren delivered a lecture last evening in the Music Hall on the past and present condition of New Zealand. During the course of the discourse the lecturer made the most outrageous assertions as to the corruption of the present Government. Only thirty people were present, and so distasteful were the speaker's remarks that a majority of them left m^ the room "before the lecture was half 2,1, over. ijj?r' The Canterbury Acclimatization Society will meet to-day specially to consider the proposed amendment bill to the Protection to Animals' Act.

NEWTON CONGREGATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL.

It will be seen from advertisement that an entertainment (musical and .literary) .will be held in tbe above room !o-raorrow evening. It, will be remembered that, in November last this large and comfortable building was opened free of debt, but though the building itself was finished, it was not seated, and until lately the school has beeu indebted to the kindness «f Dr. Wallis for the use of the necessary forms to prosecute its work. These being now withdrawn others hare been purchased at a cost of £16, and it is to meet this expense that the entertainment has been got up. It is expected there will be a crowded house, and we hope that the greater part, if not all the money wanted will be raised. It is gratifying to learn that *be efforts of the teachers are well appr°oiated in the neigh bourhood, as some 170 children meet within the school every Sunday to read the word of God. We wish them every success.
