DUNEDIN.

(Per Press Agency.) This day memesial to Otago Hemoers, Messrs Macandrew and Stout have ex pressed their disappointment at the conduct of the memorialists and the course they have pursued. Mr Macandrew attributes to this the preservation of Otago revenues. He said it would have been better had they allowed their representatives to resign months ago rather than to have left them fighting charged as they now are with having done so against the opinions of their constituents. It is understood that Mr Macandrew, with Mr Stout, contemplate resigning. The Political Committee, last night, carried the following resolution : "That this committee believes the letterof MessrsCargill,Fish,and others totally misrepresents the public feeling of the people of Dunedin, and of the province generally, and consider it necessary to request the city

-j representatives to meet the constituencies in r puplic meeting assempled in order to satisfy I themselves as to the state of public feeling, and also to provide for the worst by concert ing means for our own protection through the whole of the provincial council or other wise, but that, in our opinion before leaving the assembly they should make it clearly understood that whatever measures affecting the welfare of this people may be agreed to they will not undertake that such measures shall be respected by the people of this province.

FRATERNIZATION OF CREEDS AT BROMPTON.

The Daily Telegraph says :—Religious equality makes wonderful strides at the present day, and toleration of all creeds is exhibited in the mo*t unlikely places At present we have to call attention to an Incident thut has recently occurred, not in Turkey or any other portion of the Bast, not in Protestant Sweden, or in most Cotholic Spain, m t in Morocco or Madagascar, but, of »11 places on earth, suburban Brompton- A contemporary recording a local flower show, says, one of its special features was tint the children had been admitted to compete without the slightest reference to religious distinctions, flowers having been sent and prizes won by Episcopalians, Dissenters, and Jomw Catholics. This certainly shows great progress in liberality, and Lord Derby will, no doubt, be proud to call the attention of Midhat Pasha to so striking a proof of our advanced civilization We are aware that much may be said against this magnanimity fro-n a Hifch Church point of view. To see a prize geranium grown on possibly Soclnian soil, nlanted originally—who knows?—by a Unitarian, and re freshed by anything but holy water, must give tht young exhibitors and spectators light views of the exceeding sinfulness of schism. To sustain these ob jections, it would be better, perhaps, if there were a slight altnration in the arrangements of the universe, and if blooming flowers grew in no gardens except those belonging to true believers, leaving for after setslement the particular section of humanity de serving that name. Our Scotch friends would, no dou^t, like an additional amendment—a proviso that ihe birds sh uld not sing on Sunday, or the sun shine sufficiently to tern; t Christians to a godless country w ilk. In the Middle Ages it a'most seemed as if the holy men really did monopolise imalsuccess. In the vineyards of the monks grew the best vines, their fields were rich with golden corn, tbeir flowers out shone those produced by heretics, and a blessing seemed to light upon the land. To their nets also cime abundant fish, their gamekeepers had luck in laying their snares, or bringing down their birds. Scepiics explained these things by saying that these cowled colonists had their pick and choice of large tr-.ct* of land, and that they knew where to choose. They had studied for generations the best conditions of snn and soil, of skihed culture and husbandry; corporate traditions helped them, and periodical facts heightened their appreciation of the materials of feasts. Probably, therefore, we are driven back upon the prosaic fact that the views of a gardener, or adult, on infant baptism, on Fpiscopacy, Purgatory, Infalli bility of the pope, or the Conception oi the "Virgin, have little or nothing to do with his success, and that particular Baptists can grow pelargoniums as well as any Ritualist, though tho latter will probably deny the inference, and contend that though " Some flowerets of Kden they still inherit, the trail of their schism is over them all." At all events, Brompton has set an example t» the world, which, as usual, has had its eye upon that particular spot, and has ad mired roses of all persuasions and lillies of every creed. In presence of this grand fact, Father Hya rinthe's dream of one Church seems no longer vision ary, but as practical as it is sublime.

ST MATTHEW'S CHILDREN'S FLOWER SHOW AND EXHIBITION.

The second Annual Exhibition of flowers and work produced by the children of St. Matthew's Parish took place'at the Sunday School-room this afternoon, all this morning it was a pretty sight to see clusters of little ones hurrying to the school-room bearing pots of geranuim, polyanthus or ferns in their hands, the bearers' faces beaming with excitement at the prospect of gaining a prize, and an expression of ad miration unalloyed with envy on the countenances of their companions. The Rev. Mr. Hassard, who conceived and carried out the idea of those exhibitions in Aucklaad, must be congratulated on the successfullness on the scheme. Thejjentries this year are as nearly as possible double the number of last year, while the care and skill exhibited by the children are in about the same proportion. This is very gratifying, especially when it is remembered how often habits of industry, attention, and thoughfcfulness remain through life after having been incul cated in childhood. The parishioners appear to have taken up the children's Show very energetically, and they shewed by their presence to-day in crowds that they took a keen interest in the proceedings. The exhibits were arranged on five tables, fixed up in the school-room. The two large centre tables were devoted to fancy work, paintings, wax flowers, models of houses, ornamental moss and shell-work, and other beautiful objects. The plain sewing work (the most important portion of the exhibition) was on the table near the north window; and the flowers occupied three tables in different parts of the room. On the two centre tables several of the objects shown were so beautifully executed that it was difficult to believe they were the work of tiny ringers. On No 1 table, we particularly noticed some very fine specimens of polished and carved kauri gum, two models of villas, a box inlaid with various woods, some very creditable wool work, and an ornamental grotto, made of shells, moss &c. On No 2 table, decidedly the most valuable articles having regard lo use and beauty combined, were a large and small bracket in leather-work. We were informed that the author of these works of art, is only thirteen years of age. Some wax flowers under a shade and a pair of little baskets are next in our order of merit. The exhibitor of these, who must be a clever girl, also shews a water-colour painting of flowers very nicely executed. Tea-cosies, antimaccassars, wool flowers are very prom inent. An ornamental piece of work done with pieces of cones, and said to be the pro duction of a boy 7 years old, is worth inspec tion. The plain work is nearly all done by tHfi'ldren in the parish day-school, but some of the prizes are taken by children who attend other schools in the parish. The shirt which takes the first prize is as neat a piece of sewing as a mother could wish to see. The workmanship desplayed in the productions lof Jmost of the exhibitors, is undeniably good. It would hardly do to give a list of the articles exhibited in this department, but we must say that the operators all deserve commen dation. The flowers consist of very creditable specimens of geraniams, ferns, cineraria, bigonias, fuchsias, and. several other kinds, some of them extremely well grown. To secure against any imposi tion in this department the plants were required to be entered a month, ago when a label was put on each. When this was done Mr Brewin gave some seeds for the children

to sow with a promise of a prize for the best production m the interval. There are a large number of # entries for this. The ladies and gentleman who proposed the arduous duty of judging finished their task by one o'clock. The prizes consisted of workboxes, desks, and writing cases, and were accompanied by prettily designed cards containing the name of the exhibitor and the nature of the exhibit on a shield.

At two o'clock the doors'were opened, and the public were admitted on payment of six pence ; children, half-price. Prizes foe Plants.—Mary Hyde, Adolphe Seuffert, Emma Evans, James Tapper, Efraim Stevenson, Annie Smart, M.
