THE ORANGE SOIREE.

The soiree m connection with the Oranee Institution, in memory of the passage of theßovTie was held last evening in the Choral HalJ. Tea was served at half-past six o clock, of which some two huuored guests panto k. Duriug the Jisappearanca ot- the viands, the Artillery Band played sew alselections of music. Mr Dargaville took cne chir at eight o'clock, when the 'Vatr. hall was completely titled with visitors, Oa'Z lons thiu j-veu hundred bias* present. J-n« diutrn,;, iv ins p uiny speech referred to tan oi>j-ot of the meeting which was to commemorate the !-tru,..des end successes oi their Protea aia fi.renireis in relatiou to religious ttevoom Those bn.ve men had fought for civil and religous liberty, and it was well that th-ir descendants iti "all parts of the world should honoi tbeir memory. He referred, in terms of satisfaction, to the sympathy shewn in the object of the meeting by the numerous concourse which had gathered there that night—Dr. Maunsell referred to the cause of Orange ism in a brief speech, and said their object was not to triumph over any sect of men, but simply to rejoice in the triumphs of con stitutional privileges, and he greatly rejoiced that they, were at peace with their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects. He hoped it might long continue. But while they should not endeavour to triumph over those who differed from them in religious belief they ought strenuousty to guard against the Catholics gettiDg more than their proper share of tinfluence in tne community. He main tained that the Catholics when they had the power were inclined to use it in opposition to religious toleration. Recent events, he thought, furnished suffi cient proof of this. The rev. gentleman pro ceeded to speak in strong terms of the domi nations of the priesthood over the laity, and the bigotry of the latter. He compared the anniversary of that night with that in America, celebrating the triumph of liberty. —Mr Edward Lewi3 spoke at length on the immediate object of the meeting. Ho condemned Roman Catholicism as < pp^sed to thab liberty for which the blood of heroes had been shed. Anyouc not fully convinced of this should procure a copy of the " Syllabus," which would satisfy them of the declared views of the Pope. Tt was a volume teeming with anathemas and cuises against all the leading institutions which they had learned to cherish. Mr. Lewis gave an account of the discovery of cap tives enduring fearful tortures under the Inquisition in Spain. The Orange Insti tution, he contended, was a great necessity to keep in cheek the claims of the Papacy, which was as iuoolerani in the nineteenth century as iv the Dark Ages.—The musical parh of the programme was adhered to and performed in a highly creditable manner. Several pianoforte duets were played by tha Mi-sea Hayles. which commanded much attention, and especially the performance of ''.Jessie's ■' Dreiim" which wps much applauded. Mr Harding sang "Nil Desperaadum," and two other ballads in a ma&terly manner. Madame Moller also sang with much spirit. Mr Hull the well known vocalist, andothe,r ladi-.s and gentlemen aided the entertainment consider ably by music and voic«, and a very agree able evening concluded loyally with the National Anthem.

THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL PRIYES.

The prizes at the Grammar School were given in the principal school-room where at a quarter to three yesterday afternoon the pupils assembled. His Honor the Superin tendent arrived a few minutes later, and before proeeedißg to the presentation of the honors, addressed the scholars in a speech of which the following is a summary ;-■

Though some might consider it a light thing it he thought a very r-erious matter to him to address them. Many years ago ho had endeavoured to gel; that institution founded. He had waited a long time and now felt like the planter of a tree who sees the tree grown up and a good crop of fruit- upon it. He would urge upon them tha respon sibility which rested on them in the future. As he looked afc them he almost wished he was gifted with a pro phetic eye and could point out which of them would be distinguished as servants of their country. Persons who, like hirtiS"lf, desired to see great changes introduced, looked to the young to support them in their endeavours. The young looked less to their own. interests, and he solaced himself with the belief that in the future his actions would be approved by them when grown up, so that they would see they were of importance to the State even now. Sir Geo. Grey then went; through the various studies of the pupils. He alluded principally to the advantages which students of the present age had in respect of history. He had himself collected in New Zealand the materials for a work which, if at a future time any of them should write, would throw light upon many obtruse subjects, and make the writer famous. In mathematics they would recollect the science was always chang ing, so that, even if they had attained a high position iv the study they might at any time find they knew very little. Having briefly referred to the benefit of the study of the classics, Sir George said here again he had collected a quantity of manu scripts which would be eminently useful to any of them if at a future time they should desire to go into the subject. He had a word to say on the subject of law, which was not so much cultivated as it should be. He thought; that all schools should have lectures on their own laws, and the laws of nations. Having concluded his address, Sir Gporge proceeded to present the prizes. Each presentation was accom panied on the part of Sir George by some appropriate words of advice or congratulation. At the close of the ceremony this Honor wished them all good bye and departed amid the cheers of the boys.

Long experience has proved these famous remedies to ba most effectual in curing either the dangerous maladies or the slighter complaints which are more particularly incidental to the life of a miner, or to those living in the bush. Occasional doses of these Pills will guard the system against those evils which so often beset the human race, viz.:—Coughs, colds, and all disorders of t!ie liver and stomach-the frequent forerunners of fever, dysentery, diarrhoea, and cholera. Is the most effectual remedy for old sores, wounds, . ulcers rheumatism, and all skin diseases; in.fact, when 'used according to the printed directions, it never fails to cure alike, deep and superficial ail- ■.;•;■ These Medicines may be obtained from all respect- able Druggists and Storekeepers throughout the civilised world, with directions for use in almost every language.
