THE ART EXHIBITION.

ifHH eonverrrzone and tfosi- g scenes in connect!©:) the rxlitiiion of the works of ihe Auckland /rtiefs, t-ok pi _c last eveiirg in tbe Choral Hall gis LordsH"p, Pis-hop < owie, occupied the chair aow»dirf to W»lstee. The hall w»s well »tte; ded and well if. ht(/ itL^-occasirn The Bishop, in his infrductory i . r. marked that be was not an artist, ro? toi .' jftor of any valuable pictmes; he bed sent in but<cbe, which was general y admired as a Work of art. The. at galleries of Europe, shewed tftat great painters had been patronised by bishops, »nd bytbHr ercouragemert he pert to r,ise those noble .nirtuns which were to be found in t-nglmid. iis Tord hip expressed hope that steady progress would be m de in the ruliivation of the fine arte in ih. c brie . but a« i; a! l other thiuys, theie urns' be a continued effort towards the att -inn ent of ex cellence It was due lo art culture that our home walls are so beautifully adorned with paper of richly wrought patterns, hence it was a matter of great importance to cherish a love of the fine arts. Af er speaking at length upon the beauty and utility of pictures and designs frem nature ; his Lordship ■aigci the necessity of an institute for the purposes of art, and thought such an institute might be perma nently supported by annual subscriptions. He wished the soiiety succqes, and was glad to notice a cradual increase in the number of exhibits. In 1873 the exhibits were 238, in 1875 they were 274, while in 1873 the number of pictures by Auckland artists was 149, andinlS7s. 193; »nd outof the local artists sixty two were Jadies He concluded an interesting speech by rec .onmending all who feel an interest in the progress of art, to become honorary members of the society of artists ; he would call upon Mr Hoyte to read the report. Mr John Hoyte, the secretary then tjunie forward aid read a carefully written report of the society which was established in 1870 ; and having given a rcsvmi' of the proceedings of the society from it« commencement, stated that owing to the unsettled weather, the society would have been in debt had not honorary members been admitted, There were 112 honorary, and 30 working menbers. The committee were desirous of appropri ating the funds to the purposes of art, and had con tempiu'ed a school of d.'eslgn but owing to a paucity of funds h«d not 5 et bsen able to accomplish that object. The effort to establish an Art Union in connection with the present exhibition hpd failed from a similar cause. Tbe receipts were as follows: Eonorarr mem bers, £-_ 10s; receipts by sale of tickets, £55 lis; total, £109'ls. Expenses as far as known ; Banquet, £15: rent of hall, £15: advertising, £14 labour, £16; printing, £7: flowers £2: sundries, £5; other expenses. £3: total, £77, leaving a balance of £32. Mr Firth next addressed the meeting, and considered that the result of the exhibition was satisfactory Mr Firth went on to say that as the sunny clime of Italy had bern for agps the Dative air of many eminent painters, so New Zealand, the Italy of the South, mig . become the cl'me of great painters in the years to come Mr Firth noticed the fact that trun Junius is independent of circumstances, and often germinates in the humblest ranks of society The remarkable and often sad lives of great painters shew thit the cradle of genius lias frequently been surrounded by poverty, neglect, and difficulty. The speaker concluded with an eloquent peroration on the mission of tho painter, and the glorious opportunities he had. even in *ew Zealand, for the fostering and developing his talent " Go, then, said the speaker, into the world around you, aud depict faithfully on your canvas, what you see there; whether the glowing landscape, the tender emotion, or tbe heroic actioii, and be assured that yon will teach your fellow men that there is much that is true, and beautiful, and good, which may be pictured for the benefit of mankind —Mr Ea-twcod, late president of the Societr, next ad dressfd tbe meeting on the subject to which he devoted the greater portion of his leisure. He 'recommended that Art Societies should be p-ovided with the best models that mone3' could procure, and these should be placed in all the leadi' g towns and citiesinNew Zealand. He also referred to the beneficent Idfluences of art on nations, and how much such in fluences had done towards refining and civilizing peoples. He referred to the beautiful pictures of Mr Boyte in proof of ihe statement that New Zealard presented special historic and natural attractions for the artist. He was glad that the " riear and beautiful ladies" had exhibited one third of the pictures in the hall, and if the ladies continued to favour them in like manner in Ihe years to come, the power of the artist would be invincible. The efficient Engineer and City Band played several excellent selections of music during the evening, and the exhibition closed, with a vote of thanks to Bishop Cowie, at ten o'clock precisely.

MR SEVERN'S LECTURE.

There was amuchlarger audience in a'tendance last evening in the City Hall, on tbe oc asion of Mr Severn's lecture on " Light and Spectrum Analysis," and among the assemblage were a large number of ladies; abo. Sir George Grey, whose pre tence was greeted with applause M^ Severn's ex periments were eminently successful, and he explained In a sutinfnrtory manner the reasrn of an experi mental failure on the previous evening. The lec turer ti en proceeded to explain ihe spectroscope a« commonly used. The stellar and microscar.ic jpec troscepe might be described clearly by his hearers imagining the spectrum thrown upon the eye instea of the screen. Ihe miscroscipic spectroscope had been successfully wed in testing the b'ood-of a pols-ired subject, and in determining the age of wine Mr Bessemer also used it in the manufacture of iror by blowing air through melted iron into a crucible, by which means be could discover when the iron wm too much or too little burned. Mr Severn, having dwelt at some length on this part of his discourse, prrcfeded to explain the electric force, which was but an*ther developement <f the forces of sound, light and heat, typified by the vibntirg rod. Be illnstra ted the construction and principle of the galvani- batten by burning a platinum wire with a small two celled battery. An electricLmp by Browning Wis intro duced and its principles expounded, and which was governed by an electro-magnet- The lecturer here psid a weU-meTited tribute to the genius of the maker of the hmo The experiments of the lamp In con nection with the battery were most interesting and bill iantly illuminated the ball; he also exhibited a phott graph tas en in the invi-itderays of the spectrum but which was not equal to one on a former occasion ftnmerous other experiments, illustrative of the lecture, were Riven in tho course of the evening in the most comprehensive and intelligible manner. Tbe list part ef the lecture was an exhibition of objects on the s.-reen, including a number of New Zealand ferns beautifully and naturally reflected, and which elicited much applause. The microscopic lens weie'then lighted in order to givecorrect views of objects in Nature which are impossible to tbe unass'sted eye. • mong the most remarkable of these were two fl'as exhibited on a slide which dancel about with much vigour until they fell exhausted by the heat. The lecture th'oughout wab of a m.'St instructive character, and appeared to please every person present Dr Purchas assisted the lecturer in his experiments and at The close of the lecture, M- Severn informed th* audience that he had promised to deliver a lecture on Tuesday next, in aid of the Aucfclan Institute; his discourse W"uld be on " *rctic Explorations, and Sir John Pr»nklin's last voy-g* ' the subject to be illustrated with views shewn by the lantern Mr Savern will exhibit this (Saturday) evening alarge number of slines consisting of Eurr.pein New Zealand, and astronomical views, illustrated by numerous experiments aDd scientific explanations.

Gentlemen, — I have much pleasure in acceding to your request that I should allow myself to be nominated as a Candidate for the honour of representing Auckland City East in the House of Representatives. I am, Gentlemen, Yours truly, J M. CLARK To Dr. Camibwlili, an 'the other gentlemen signing the requisition. mo THE ELEOTOBS OF NEWTON Gentlemen, —Having reason to believe that I fairly represented your opinions in Parliament, and knowing that I did my best to do bo, I offer myself as a Candidate for re-election. There is nothing I can say that will enable you to know more of me than you do now, as I am and have been personally known for many years to nearly all of you. As to what is to be done now, I say let us, as far as possible, manage our own affairs. Surely, we who know and are interested, can do so better than those who neither know nor care, and whose interests are often opposed to ours. If you see fit to elect me, my conduct will be the same in the future as it has been in the past—an endeavour, as far as possible, to get unity of action among our Members; to reduce wasteful expenditure ; to put power into the hands of the people, not to deprive them of "it; and that aU great questions should be submitted to them.
