EXHIBITION OF ART.

It is much to be regretted that the weather hitherto bus not favoured the wishes of the artist, inasmuch a g th.i frequent showers have prevented many persons from visiting the Choral Hall and insrec'ing the art, troasrires therein It wap exreeted that, r>r E lis woulc*. have formally opened the exhibition last eveir.ng with a few remarks on the nses of art, and O" exhibitions of this sort penera'ly, but the rain *ell in torrents, and at th-hour appointed, the visitors present w>r» so few that it wa' thought un p.ecessary to tax the powe s of the doot >r when ther" was scarcely any ears toll ar. It was sugg sted therefore, that at the close of the exhibition, a social fathering of artists and members of tbe Society should be held and which sugges tion most probably will be rea ised. Ihe wiili"g h'rtds of the ladies are apparent in every movement in connection with art, science, literature, and benevolence, and in every department of hnm-n life and actfon, they have shewn them selves eqml in capacity to tho sterner .ex. In the .Artists' Kxdibition we trace the de icate pencillings and f-iithfnl tracings of the ladies and most promi nent amonsr the lady contributors are Mrs -ordon, MrsClnrkson, Mrs Stodhart, and Mr. Cornell; als > Misses Morris, fames, Symons, Onthwaite, Ridings, Wrght. and Holder. Miss C Horn exhibits a faithful water co'our sketch ofWairsrapa (tO). and lake Takapuna f's), and two views of Monnt Egmct (41 and 48). These pictures show de ic*ey oft-nch, and correctness of judgment i. co'orand shad.nßT, Mrs Gordon, o' Onfhu era has -produced a portrait of the cfe famous 1 oln Montes (13), but it is very doubtful whether the mild features of the portrait are true to the stormy, impetuous, un enviable Lo!a who feared no man, and did not hesitate to horse-whip t*-e lessee of a New Yo*k th»at-e The Cra.on sketch of Flora (28), by this lady, is a fine example of free-h >nd drawing.

Miss Symons, a young \a*v of Onebnnga, has dawn a Sketch of Cromlech (31) also, a. vi»w of the Coast of Norfolk, not far from Yaro^uth (39) which show both taste and fancy.

Grocery Burned ; Insurance Losses £1,600.

A fire occurred this morning .at a grocery store, which was burned down. Insured for £600 in the Standard. £800 in the Norwich Union, and £200 in the Northern Company.

The Press Agency. It appears that the Auckland papers have heen scarifying the Press Agency over some telegrams, etc. The Times yesterday morn ing says the Agency has been attacked un justly. It adds that the city journals (mean ing Auckland), the Herald and Star, because the Agency's telegram, in mention ing the arrival of the'Puperintendents at the Dunedin railway station, states that hoot «iSß were mingled with the cheers, has attacked the conductors of the Agency and accused them of the meanest and most paltry motives, as well as of a perversion of facta. In reality all the published accounts from Dunedin corroborate the Press Agent 1 the trutb is that what the -Auck ??s_^ss evideD% wanted was a distorted would have left out all about ww WAngs, and mentioned only the cheers. « also falls foul of the Cross for accusing the Agency of pandering to the Ministry, anqfor getting advertising for the Govern ™f n* S^K »nd asking that the cost of these particular telegrams (which would be about Mxpence) should ho refused. Tho Times nays,

_.i °* *^c t*iese accusations we are unable to account, inasmuch as they are simply nonsensical; for the second the reason may be found in the fact that the tross is, if report is to be believed, not one ol those papers which appropriates all the news it can, and for that which it has to pay, pays upon a scale ca'culated on the lowest possible basis of literary meanness."

Mr yea 1« portrayed tt c oln Sir Michsel Andley, and rtisilayed. his accustomed facility in predentin? the rhar.ctir o' an old man.

' r ' ... . '. -.- .; Gr nt >____« , — ;cc r 'rg to promls.'l', I strain beg ro off r mys If as a c .ndid^'e fov y-ur s- ffratrs at the forthcoming general electio _houl<l ycu'bonti-' me with your confidence, I shall faith v 1- adhere to the politic*! traditions of ou. grca- co stitu npy by W omsoev<-r a'lnroKte cd. T shall m»i an the unify of New Zealand by s tpporting real 1."al seif gover ment s.. epres^nted by Mu< ieitwlitte and Koad 80-trds, providing the Government Bill incudes the^e web-proved svs.rms. For the ny effic-ei't hiid expeditious working of the ahove, I shall »rge the immediate completion of the m^.in trunk It c of railway frcjn, say, the Buff to either Nelson or Picton in the t-out^ Island, and from Welli eto» to Russetl (Bay of Islands) it the North, of c urs ~ taking care to, m n<> wy, violate the territory of ob jecting natives in this island.

I shall support an immediate re-distribrtion of seats, based upon the population as shewn by a special cen.us, and subject to the present liberal qualifica tions. A Royal Commission of w n-politicans to fix the fu'ure boundaries of e»ch electoral district, ad Mr Gladstone's ingenious scheme of 18fi6 might be taken as a permanent standard for an equitable re adjustment.

To further develop the"somewhat Jbackward condi tiin of the North Is and through unavoidable causa in the " wretched past," I shall urge the granting of free farms to bona fide country settlers unde • the fol lowing conditions :' To settlers resident for fifty years and upwards in one province 400 actes; and 200 to those of tea years ana upwards; 300 acri-si that pro vince only. Bui dings coting at least £50 to be erected within six months from date of possession; a legal fence to enclose the property within eighteen months, and the whole to be c eared, and under crop or gn.ss at the end of five > ears, when a Crown Grant would bo issued subject to the official report of the distiict surveyor. Ao lien or mortgage over form to be legal within the five years. Insut.nce of buildf gs, stock, snd crops to be allowed Grantees to be mar ried, and to reside on their farms, »nd to pay. with the others, the esperse of surveying their block. Applicants to ballot for the respective farms in each block, and the land to be of the best quality dis posable. Tbe recent deplorable loss of the ships Cospatrick and Stra hmore,—the former conclusively proved to be b* fire—demands, I consider, sjecial legislation. As the population of the Australasian Group now numbers nearly two millions und a quarter, I propose estab ishirg a cei.tral factory for all kinds of gun powder and explosives simi'ar to the Mints in Sydney and Melbourne; all foreign shipments to be then prohibited, and special craft engaged solely for carry in/? these articles between the different colonies, as required. The proposed codification or consolidation ©f the various Provincial Education Land, and other Actß will receive my earnest attention. A moderate sub sidy, to connect >iji with -New Zealand, by telegraph, also the further reduction of Press telegrams and railway fares, will be supported. i he construction of tho Thames Valley Railway, either by Government or private enterprise, will still be kept in view. I shall urge also the completion of ihe Auckland Lunatic Asylum, the (supreme Court-house, and the Post-office.

I am, Gentleman, Your obedient servant, F. H. TbOUP.
