A CHAMBER OF HORRORS.

TIIK following is an extract from the letter of the correspondent of " The Times" at N&pfes :—"When at Palermo a few days a"-o my travelling companions and I visited a° monastery of Carthusian friars in the neighbourhood of that city. There we be held the ghastly sight of 8,000 dried mum mies of deceased persons, either arranged round tho vaults in an erect position, clothed in the costumes they wore m life, or placed in boxes or coffins, where they He in a sort of semi-State, attired either in grave clothes or ordinary dress. A payment of 35 francs secures any one the former privilege, though 70 are required for what, perhaps, may be called first-class accommodation. When a dead body arrives for treatment at the monastery, it is entirely divested of cloth ing, and is placed, with others undergoing a similar process, for a year in a closed vault. Whatever, at the expiration of that period, remains unconsumed by the. drying action of the atmosphere, together with tire volunteer assistance of multitudinous rats, is then brought out, and, attired in appropri ate ""arb, grins in fearful and fantastic mockcrv at those surviving relatives who are allowed to make an annual visit. A Sicilian gentleman was paying a morning call of this kind during our brief sojourn in the vaults, and we saw him unlocking the coffin containing the object of his solicitude, and thereby disclosing what was left of his friend, who was attired in full evening costume with white gloves, which hung but loosely on their lato owner's bony fingers. To make this parody of life in death, if possible, more disgusting, photographs representing the living features of these preserved monstrosities were occasionally appended to the relics, and we saw one portraying a handsome man of—as we learn by his'label—37 years of age, the original of which grinned at us with a set of white teeth so perfect as to attract my attention towards them.

THEATRE ROYAL.

The performances at tho Theatre Royal last evening wore from the several dramas in which Mr Emmet appears as the chief actor, includ ing acts from "Jan," "Fritz," and "Phil tho Foundling." The several characters were pre sented in Mr Emmet's original style, and com manded the applause of the house. The greater part of the representation devolved upon Mr Emmet's almost unassisted exertions, aa the lady who had engaged to assist, retired early from the stage, and did not mak« another appearance during the evening. Mr Emmet's popular songs wore attractive, and took hold of the auditory. This gentleman will make his farewell bow this evening at the conclusion of "Jan," which is Ret for hearing to-night. On Monday evening Mr Emmet will appear before a Thames audience,

MR SEVERN ON LIGHT AND SPECTRUM ANALYSIS.

The third lecture of Mr Severn, with experi ments, vra.B given last evening in Lornc-atrcct Hall, before an assemblage oC intellectual per sons. Previous to gmng experimentally into the subject of "light," the lecturer made some introductory remarks on the discovery of the spectrum by Newton, and on tho undulation of light by Dr'Young. Mr Severn then proceeded v.:ith liis experiments by aid of tho lime-light, and produced an exact representation of the pUl'O spectrum on the screen. The various colours of this beautiful illustration were then intelligibly explained-with the particulars ofjits discovery by ]iun3en and another. A number oJE other experiments were made, and wonders shewn by the spectroscope and microscope, and the evening was pleasantly and intellectually brought to a close by a number of panoramic views. Mr Severn's lecUirc this afternoon will be in illnstrtion of the gases, oxygon, hydrogen, and carbonic, with glass shaft, and baloon ex periments, and this evening, liis discourse will treat of " Light and spectrum Analysis," with a variety of Mew Zealand and Australasian views, etc.

FINE ARTS IN SCOTLAND.

Thk report for 137(5 of the committee of the Royal Association for the Promotion ot' the Fine Arts in Scotland, has reached us, and contains i 8 wage?; of its proceedings. Among its members of "committee of management, we notice names which stand high in the rank of art and letters, such as the Duke of Argyll, whose "Reign of Law" has taken a place in English standard literature ; of Glassford Bell, whose poem on "Mary, Queen of Scots," has been recited in every literary society in Christendom ; and of Dean Ramsey, whose work on Scottish Life and Manners is one of the most amusing books in the language. The members of this society arc to be found in every part of the world, even in the cities and towns of New Zealand. Mr Wil liam Mitchell acts as honorary secretary for Auckland. The Association has been in exist ence forty-two years, and during thaUongthened period it has done chiefly for Scottish art what Burns and Scott did for Scottish poetry and his toric romance. Tho Association closed, last year with a subscription list of more than 5000 mem bers, who contributed £5,103 12s, a sum consider ably in excess of the average amount, taking one year with another. The pointings of cele brated living artists, to be distributed by lot amongst members, embrace a variety of subject s, and "have been purchased at a cost of .-6ISS7 !s. The particulars ol! membership may be, had of Mr Mitchell. The subjects for illustration for the present year will he from S r Walter Scott's "Legend of Montrosc," viz:—The Pass to the C'astleof Darnlinvivrach, chap. IV, Sam ISougn, It.S.A.; The Children of tho Mist. chap, v., John Smart, A.U.S.A.; Annot Lylo, Lord Monteith, and Allen M'Aulay, chap, vr., W. K. Lockunrt, A.R.S. A.; Dalgetty and Ranald's encounter with the Clergyman in the Chapel at Inverary, chap. XTv., George Hay, R.S.A.; The Passage of the Army of Montrose during Winter through the Passes of Strathtillan, chap, xvu., George Reid ; Inverlochy Castle, chap. xvnr.. H. MacCulloch, R.S..A. One of the principal designs of the Asso ciation evidently was the popularising of the wonderful romances of Sir Walter Scott, whose works arc not read so much as they deserve to be in tho present ago. In the early part of the century, when the Bources of literature appeared to have been exhausted, Scott arose, and demol ished all the idea, and opened up on every side new scenes of invention. In poetry and romance lie showed that there was not a corner in Scot land that was not. full of the richest materials for the most wonderful and beautiful creations. On the appearance of Scott's novels in rapid succes sion, Scotland seemed alive with armies, insur rections, pageantries of love, and passages of sorrow, i'resh stories, of totally novel construc tion, fresh characters of the most startling ori ginality, coining forth from the mind of Sir Waller Scott, in the sylvan retreat of Abbots ford.

MR GLADSTONE'S MOTION ON THE

EASTERN QUESTION.

LONDON,

February, 13th. NOTICE of motion has been given by Ml" Gladstone for Friday, asking how Govern ment understand the treaty engagements in view of the despatch of Lord Derby to Sir Henry Elliott, on the sth September, stating that, ill case of war between Russia and Turkey', England would not defend the latter Power.

We have been requested to state that after this date it will not be convenient to receive visitors on board H.I.M. slip Hcrtha. The s.s. Wellington left Onehunga Wharf for the South, at 11 o'clock this morning. Passen gers—Mr, and Mrs. Micol, Messrs. Walters, uourke, Wileocks, West, Gollop, Price, Forrest, Wheeler, Thomas, Beale, Russell, and Ranford, Mesdames Howard, Smart, Low, and nine in the steerage.

Our contemporary the "Herald" has chosen for its special reporter of the English cricket matches, a gentleman who appears to have very strong anti-Auckland pro clivities. 11l expressing these, he is some times rather inconsistent, as in the case of his report of the Wellington match, where he gives his opinion that the fielding was much better than at Auckland, but itt the same description mentions a whole lot of bungles, made by the men he is be-praising, We notice "also that this good gentleman, whose tendencies were demonstrated with boyish exuberance on the ground at Eller slie, can do a good " blow " about Canter bury when he likes. He is pleased to say that there lie the only hopes of New Zealand retrieving its defeat. For our own part, we fail to see why more should be expected of Canterbury, than from Auck land. They certainly have a better cricket ground, but so they had in 1873, when Auckland beat hem, on their own dung-hill. Let Chris urch prove her superiority even in this E glish match, and she may have reason o talk, but why she should be given cee^ '\ for merit she has never proved jcerse^ to possess, we cannot understand. our friends of the city of the plains get outa it is possible they will for iifty or sixty in each innings, they Avill look very foolish a ter their indignant refusal to play more than

THE SCHOONER CANTERBURY.

The latest news of this vessel, whose depar ture has given rise to so much talk, is that she was well away from the land at sunset last evening, heading full sail for Suwarrow. It was thought by many that the fact of Mr Sterndale being prevented from going with her, would have caused her detention, as that gentleman was considered the " head and front" of the expedition. It is not un likely however, that Mr Sterndale was enabled to send off a letter of instructions to Captain Wilson. We are informed tin's morning, that there were urgent reasons for the Canterbury getting away as soon as possible, as warrants were out against two others of tho party. Among tho crew is a man named Therwood, who was formerly the owner and commander of a confederate steamer, employed in running tho Southern blockade in tho American war. This man has a bullet still in his thigh, and has the scars of a desperate gunshot wound in tho head. His life has been passed in scenes of turbulence and violence. With one or two like this on board, we should not think the voyage of the Canterbury will be a harmon ious one.
