(From oal, wn Corre.-poadent.) ? vYh day. Sir George tfrey's Requisition. The opponents of Sir George Urey here Jiave induced the Mayor to retain a requisi tion got up to him asking him to stand for tho Thames. The Mayor stiil retains it and jefuses to give it nn till asked for ifc by Sir George himself. He considers himself the custodian of it iastead of entrusted with it jn his capp.city of Mayor. The yield from November 20 to date is 5176 tons 6863 ozs. 16 dwts. 6 grs. The election of Mayor to-day is exciting great interest. Davies was the favourite in the morning at four to one, but Macdonald's chances have improved so much that even money now is lodged on him. The Springhill has from 3 tons, 2 ozs. 8 dwts, The Canary, Collarbone, from 2 tons, has got 1 oz. 3 dwts. . . A man named Brothwell was brought down from Ohinemuri last night having his leg broken.

The local journals advocate the Auckland Steam Packet Company issuing tickets at tingle fares during Christmas holidays. Dissatiafaction is expressed at inadequate medical attendance here. Patients are sent to Napier and Auckland.

WELLINGTON.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Mr Gisborne's defeat for the Mayoralty ly Mr Hutchison to-day is a slap in the face {o those schemers who will try to introduce the sectarian element into public education. A strong committee organised themselves and worked very bard for Hutchison, and without &ny cost to him. Gizzy, on the other hand, had no committee, and did not of course half work the community in his favour,

Sir Donald McLean's Address. Sir Donald McLean's meeting last night TO well attended. All the General Govern ment and Provincial officers were brought in from the country. The speech is considered bold. About 50 hands were held up in favor of the resolution; others were dumb. There fas no sign of enthusiasm. Mr Maney turned his coat at the last minute, and se conded the vote of confidence. This hae quite upset bis party, and Maney has lost all chance of election. I believe he is playing a doable game.

SCHOOLS OF SISTERS OF MERCY EX AMINATIONS.—This Day.

Thk annual Examinations of the pupils at tending the schools of the Sisters of Mercy, Wyndham-street. were held to-day. The very Rev. H. J. Fynes, V.G, presided. Among the clergy present we noticed the Rev. M. D. O'Hara, Eev. W. McDonald, Rev. J. Grange, Key. J. O'Dwyer, Eev. J. B. Simpson. There were also present a large number of ladies and gentlemen, who, every now and then, evinced by their applause the gratification they felt at the proficiency exhibited by the pupils. We have often had occasion to allude to the great good which these schools effect in Anckland, and we are pleased to see that these signs of usefulness are in creasing rather than diminishing year after year. The pchools are divided into three sections There is the school of St Aloy seus with 130 infant pupils of both sexes ; next comes the school of St. Joseph's with 55 girls of more advanced age, and lastly there is the select school of St. Francis de Sales with 50 yonDg ladies, nearly all approaching womanhood. Children of all denominations attend these schools, especially in the case of the Select School, the parents of children belonging to the Church of Eng land and other churches having always expressed the greatest confidence that the religions belief of their offspang would not be interfered with. After each examisa tion the reverend gentleman presiding congratulated the teachers (the Nuns) and the pupils upon the satisfactory manner in which the children acquitted themselves. The prizes of the schools of St. Aloysieus and of St. Josephs were dis tributed to-day, but the presentation in Sb. Francis' School does not take place till next Tuesday, when it will come off immediately after the Drama, which the pupils have in preparation for that day. The following are the prize lists :— st. Joseph's school
