The apparatus and baggage he brings with him in the Mikado weigh 40 tons. We regret to state that M. Blondin received a fall on deck during the voyage, which has severely injured his right arm. It is, however, rapidly mending. The arrival of our illustrious visitor was soon bruited about the town, and on his ride up the vrhaif. Blondin was gazed at by an eager crowd. He has taken up his quarters at the Star Hotel, Albert-street.

Fearful Hurricane.—Three Vessels Wrecked.

PORT CHALMERS.

(From our own Correspondent). This da

The barque Derawara from Tongatabu reports a fearful hurricane having passed over the islands of that group, doing much damage ashore and afloat. Three schooners were totally wrecked, and the barque Martin Luther dismasted.

ONEHUNGA INSTITUTE.

The annual meeting of the subscribers of the Onehunga Institute and librrry was held on Monday evening in the Choral Hall. As the Eev Mr Brown, the president, was unavoidably absent, the Key Mr Tomlinson was called to the chair. The report read by Mr C. C. Fleming showed that the year had beed one of progress from the very languid state of the institute at last annual meeting, but the interest taken by Onehungans is still far beneath that which Pitch an institution ought to command—only 5S members being; on last years Roll. During the past year 32 volumes, valued at £7 10s was added to the library from the Provincial Government grant for 1874, 105 volumes had been purchased, the late Arch. Clark Esq. donated 20 volumos, and other friends had added 10 volumes. The total number of serviceable books in the library is SSO volum.'s. The supply of the usual periodicals had been kept up, and Mr Taylor of Hamilton had forwarded a regular supply of the Waikato Times. The Provincial and General Government Gazettes, blue books &c, are also received. During the year a chess club ha 3 been formed ; chess and draught boards are always placed in tbe rooms. The report concluded by pressing the claims of the institution on those present; tbe subscrip tions being only 3s per quarter, a large number ought to be adeed to the roll of membership. The Treasurers' statement entered into the details of income and expenditure, the result being as follows, Receipts: balance from last year, £1 Is Sd ; members' subsciptions, &c, £34 33 6d ; rent £1 sa; lime-light entertainment/£3 103 Id; book sold, 9s 6d; total £40 9s 9d. Disbursements —Rent, £10 17s 6d ; boobs and periodicals, £10 3s ; sundries, £9 13s Id; librarian, £8 53 8d ; balance in hand, £1 103 6d. Total, £40 9a 9d The report being adopted by the the meeting, the sub scribers proceeded to the election of officers and members of committee. President, Bey Mr Tomlinson ; Mr Fleming and Mr J. D Jackson being re-elected as secretary and treasurer respectively.; committee, Dr Hard ing, Messrs Gillman, Stevenson, Spragg The formal business being over, the spelling bee and singing competition was gone on with. The first trial was spelling by juveniles under 16, and resulted in a young lady carry ing off the prize. _ Eleven fcompetitors en tered the list, and as Mr Beal, the umpire, awarded an equal number of points to two ladies, a prize was given to each. The adult spelling brought a dozen to the platform, but the number was speedily reduced to three, and a good many rounds were given before one obtained the necessary pre-emi nence. The fun of the thing was that they had to try, try, try again : not so much be cause they spelled correctly, but the whole floundered and blundered over the same words, and thus closed a most enjoyable evening. The committee may congratulate themselves on having a successful entertain ment and business evening combined. The charge for admission was only sixpence, yet nearly £4 was taken at the door. The manner of conducting the spelling bee was capable of improvement, and we hope that a similar entertainment will be got up and as well patronised.

MEETINGS AND AMUSEMENTS.

MR EWINGTON'S LECTURE ON PHILIP THE

SECOND

The lecture en Philip the Second, of Spain, last evening by Mr Ewington was in every respect a historical treat. The hall was crowded with an intellectual audiencb, and many evidences of approval were frequently expressed Mr Wm Eastwood, of Onehunga, occupied tbe chair, and the ohoir, led by Mr Byan, sang several of Moody and Sankey's hymns with much spirit. The lecture was given in aid of the Mount Eden chapel, and must have added considerably to its funds. The period of history descanted upon by the lecturer was one of peculiar interest to every lover of freedom namely that which embraced the Iniquisition with all its horrors and cmeliies, and the conquest of the Spanish attempt to subjugate England in the time of Elizabeth; tw all historians agree in avowing that Philip's grand object was the destruction of Protestanism. Tbe age and the b*d influences of Philip have formed themes for many historians, such as Froude, Prescott, and others, so that the lecturer had ample fields to gather from and expa ti»te upon in his discourse; and the facts tous gleaned were skilfully condensed and given in the lecturers own style. The vaccillating and miserable character of Phi ip with pictures of his v-rious attempts to bringthe people un der his rule it to his way of thinking which werefai ures in every instance, was a clever sketch. Philip was licentious, cold-hearted, unfeeling and calculating, and the it qui^ition of his reign was described as an institution framed upon the moat cruel devices to detect here3V stop freedom of thought and liberty of speech, which was of neccesity a failure, because it induced deceit and all sorts of moral wron?. The person of Philip was described, and his quarrel with the Pope, for which he relented and appeased the wrath of his Holiness by kissing hia venerable toe Mr Ewington quoted from the Times and Saturday Review to thew that Catholicism io Spain, even in the present day, was not a bed of r< ses, but a hot-bed of intolerance and bigotry, fro idea could be formed of Catholicism in Spain by the standard of Catholicism in Auckland, where Catho lics were upright, honorable, fair-dealing men. Tho revolt in the Netherlands was also referred io, which drove hundreds from that countiy during the tempo rary absence of Philip, and caused them to seek shelt-r in England, where they obtained a livelihood In SpitaJfields and oiher parts of England as silk weavers and woollen-cloth dyers. The second part ef the discourse was devoted to the Spanish Armada, under Drake Howard, Probither, and other brave seamen, which his been so vividly described by Kingßleyin " Westward. Ho," one of the hearties', thoroughly-English books of modern titf)e«, and concluded by the dirlng capture of the citadel of Breda by seventy Hollanders. The meanness of Queen Elizabeth, and other intervening anecdotes, gave life and animation to a subject which to persons of a frivolous turn of mind, might be deemed dull and uninteresting. The lecture, which was orally delivered, occupied two hours, and we must honestly affirm that it was as creditable to the lecturer as it was pleasing and instructive to the numerous audience.

WILSON'S CIRCUS.

This popular place of amusement was filled to the entrances last evening, and the various performances were successfully performed. Previous to the opening hoar, the excellent city band played a number of lively selections, which thrilled the fact through the city that the hour of enjoyment had come. The programme was somewhat varied from that of preced ing evenings, and many of the equestrian scenes were new and novel to the audience. The beautiful animals were evidently up to their work, and showed that they had been carefully trained under ihe master hand of Mr Omar Kingsley. The dancing and waltz ing of the animals to the sounds of the mu»ic, were admirable and pleasing and seemed to oppose the old dogma that horses have no eufor music otfier than the whipcord Tbe revolver trick was exceedingly clever. The feats of the several ladles in beautiful cosiume, reminded the spectator of some of the chivalric scenes pictured by Sir Walter Scott in "Ivanhoe," as they swiftly passed round the circle or clustered in merry groups with the precision of s.ildi <rs around their leader The tumblers, three in number, did their part with adroitness and satisfaction, and if they Jnlsasd once or twice tbe miss was speedily remedied by more succespful experiments, The knife and pwtol fert was repeated by Hadj Hamo and his son the accomplished Arabian acrobat. Mr Ribert John' son, poet, wit, humourist and clown, poured forth! several fresh effusions from the'glades of Parnassus, *ai mißhtUy amused the susceptible part of the audience. M'Jle Rosano. therunnin? globe performer, was hailed with showers of delight in her pleasing performance Master John Cooke was greatly ap plauded in his difficult; two-horse hurdle race, Tne programme will be repeated this evening. THE TBEATRE. The natural and much-admired acting of Mr

Charles Wheatleigh and Boacicault's admirable play. "MiiUgrauu," entrusted to Mr Wheatleigh'? careful custody, was another success last evening at the Prince of W*le3 Theatre, whi< h was crowded to excess, as it w,v on the previous evening. It will be unne cessary to refer to the plot of the piece, which has alrcadr b'en touched upon by the press, and refers to the hUt period ot Ftnianism which was seen a few years ago, like the Mile cloud in the distance, portemous of the small otorm which folio «ed and exploded at Manchester and Cle'kenwell. The play, however, does not profess to doal mainly with thi? or any other politic:l or ro'igious nlot, but Reeks rather to amuse and interest tha audience by scenes, and incidents, and humour most likely to gratify the various tastes and leanings of a mixed aaditory. The Conn of Mr Wheatle gh is a mastsr-ptece of acting, and delineated no doubt in accordance with the ideal of author's mind, as the actor, through his intimacy with the author, had the opportunity of fencing. Tbe character is a enmbiaatioo, sr m bodyment, of the honour, impulsiveness, geneiosty, and peculiarities of the Hibernian character, with, the brcgue of the land. The actors were unexcep tionally good. Mr E. W. Lawrence was the jolly Captain Molvneaux, of the ocean, with his thorough associates, Mr Chwles Seat le had all ihe appearance as well as the style and address of Father Doolan, and wa«t a piece of re»Uy good acting. Mr Collier.also as Harvey Duff, fairly represented his hero, and elicited the liveliest mtisfation. Mr Tom Burton looked the villain Kinchella, whom ho represented. Miss Carry George, always truthful, exemplified grac^fu ly the loving Clare, arid proved beyond a doubt that she thoroughly understo & the character. Mrs Hearle was the vury buau ideal of a motherly mother as Mrs O'Keilv. Miss Jennie Nye as the pretty Moya, end Mis» Buscho, and the others who , appeared in the " PhMlghraun " aided, by skilful acting, towards winning a second triumph both for the company and the m^n»gemeat.

The members of the Edwardes-street Lodge of Good Templars held a pleasant open lodge meeting last evening under the cheery i,fiuencesof music, song, and natural eloquence. We call attention to the advertisement of the Rev S. Macfarlane's lecture on " Home Sweet Home" this evening, in aid of the United Methodist Free Church School Building Fund. Mrs (V'iichell will re-open her finging class on Mo,- day evening next at her rooms in Pit-street. The ordinary meetinjr of the members of tho Protestant Alliance Friendly Society, entit'ed the Victoria lodge, will meet this evening in the Cook strret Chrid'i in Meeting-house. The monthly communication of the Union Lodge of Mark Mast'T Masors will be held this even ing at half-past seven o'clock at the usual place.

SUEZ MAIL.

Both Bussia and Austria are known to have well-equipped forces in readiness to cross the frontiers of the Turkish provinces at a few hours' notice ; ond not to be unprepared for eventualities, the Government are making military arrange ments. The World states Lord Napier of Magdala has been appointed Gover nor and Commander of Gibraltar, with a view to dash upon Egypt immediately any emergency arises. Other movements are on foot pointing to the same contingency. The Press urges upon Government the necessity fo speedily deciding upon and announc ing a definite policy regarding the Eastern question; the European Cabinet must not be allowed to settle affairs without properly consulting our national interests. All parties are agreed that English must secure undisputed command of tho Suez Canal, and, perhaps, the Euphrates Valley, as they are the highways to our eastern possessions.

The preliminary sonndings for the Channel tunnel are bfing actively carried out near St. Margaret; the engineers are satisfied with the results, the strata realising their expec tations.

The reforms in Turkey which have been proposed by Russia, Austria, and Germany recommend perfect legal equality between Christian and Mussulman.

TELEGRAPHIC.

GRAHAMSTOWN. (From our own Correspondent) This day. The Distress at the Thames. At a meeting of the progress committee appointed at Saturday night's meeting, Mr. Bowe, chairman, explained the steps taken with Dr. Pollen and Mr. Wood. A long discussion ensued, the gist of which was the necessity for throwing open unworked leases and opening roads through thegoldfield. It was resolved that a sub committee be formed to investigate the ground held on lease unworked on the goldfield, and report to the committee as soon as possible. The chairman was instructed to telegraph to the Government and the Mayor, who is now in Auckland. The committee, in the meantime, will obtain all possible information on the number of unemployed. Information has since been received that £1000 will be spent on road works at once.

In a short day's work unsatisfactory. The broken piece of cable was secured yesterday about 1^ miles was paid out in Worser Bay, near pilot station, end being buoyed. The general manager of the company about to lay the cable to Australia arrived to-day, and goes on board the Luna immediately per Tui.

The Elections.

THE WAITEMATA POLLING. The polling in the Waitemata election takeß place this day, and the event creates unusual excitement owing to the four candidates be ing considered veiy evenly matched. They are, as is well known by this time, Dr. Lee, Mr Thomas Henderson, sen., Mr J. S Macfar lane, and Mr W. J. Hurst. Each one has pledged himself to recognize Sir George Grey as his leader in Parliament if elected. The polling places are : Devonport Hall (North Shore), Stokes' Point, the Wade, Helensville, the Whau, Henderson's Mill, Lucas' Creek, iiuia, Kaukapakapa, and Riverhead. All the candidates are sanguine of success, and have made arrangements for their supporters being conveyed from town during the day to the polling places. The North Shore steamers

have been freely patronised all the morning. At the North Shore, the continuous stir in front of the polling place, and the little knots of people hanging about at the corners and in the roads, talking over the merits of the candidates, made the place look unusually busy. Onr pigeons are out, and will no doubt bring us the returns from the various polling booths in time for our second edition. [The returns of the Waitemata Election, by Pigeon, will appear in an Edition before five oclock]
