"WESTMINSTER ABBEY."

iii-.v. ch.vki,ks Clark's lecture lust evening iv the Chora! Hall, on " Westminster Abboy,"was ■i treat of no orcli nary character, and. although, of two hours lfingi h.was listenc'l to without a single interruption from that crowded assemblage. Th« lecturer conimenccd with the traditions and earliest-known facts in connection with, rhis errand oditico. No other buildiugiin the land of Alflred and Shakesperc possesses sncli. lasting interest as Westminster Abbey. Mr Clark gave a picturesque sketch of the sacred Isle of Thorns, as the spot was originally called by the ancient Britons in days of yore: and pro ceeded, step by step, to glance at almost every struggle between kinj/a and peoples, from the dawa of English history down to the reign of Henry VII., with brief sketches of the men whose portrait-- glimmer through the mists, of centuries Irr the onward stream of time. The picture of the mighty London of the present asleep in the hallowed sunshine was as poetical as it was perfect: and Words worth's well-known sonnet, supposed to he written on Westminster Bridge, was recited in the most, felicitous manner. The picture of John Ball.S the famous priest, who toid the people that they possessed inalienable ri^ht direct from the Creator, while Wickiiffe preac-hed liberty of conscience at Oxford, were nicely touched upon: also the xevolt of the people under Wat Tyler, entering London, and demandiHß the right to live by the honest labour of their hep.ds and hands. -H>re we noticed the lecturer's love of manly freedom in opposition to "lie oppression of kingcraft and despotism. The lecture was a running com mentary on history—every event leading: to "Westminster Abbey, .a. later period was graphically pictured, in which the "Old Mer maid Tavern" was introduced; and the merry i^roup of poets—Shakespeare, and his brother Edmund, Edward Alleyne, and Ben Jon-jon : vfith Shakespeare's imaginary characters of Justice Shallow. ..-ir John FalstalT, and Dame Quickly (the hostess), were pleasantly intro duced hi quotations from the poet of the ages. The murder of the innocents in the Tower, ana their dying mother in tha Abbey; the sketches of Elizabeth end Mary, and the nnforfunate Mary Stuart, werodescribed ■with much feeling —foes in life, but Mends in death—Mingling in one common dust. The tender, trot softly satirical sketch of Sir Roger de Coverly in the Abbey, drawn by the hand of the purifier of English prose, Joseph Addison, was introduced in" the happiest manner, and subsequently ?.facaulay's beautiful tribute to Artdnon's memory—so full of noble pathos—was quoted. The splendour of Henry the Seventh's chapel was vividly depicted, in connection ■Path Washington Irying's thoughts and description. Anne Boleyn going to the Abb3y on her wedding morn, the splendour and pageantry associated with that ill-fated marriage with Mr Fronde's hero. Harry the Eighth, and the sad and bloody reverse, three years after, when the beautiful Queen was led forth and beheaded on Tower Hill, were touched upon in accordance with their light ar.d shadow. The portrait of Admiral Blake, his struggles and victories, werfc pictured with historic truth, and one could not. be; but iiilled with disgust at the conduct of that immoral, sensual, dog-fancier, Charles the Second, in dragging" the bones of the great admiral from Their resting--"laee, and casting them into a hole. This conduct on the part of the imbecile monarch is not to be wondered at. The man who could scorn the greatest poet of r.he age, Milton/and mock at his blindness ; who patronised vice, and held virtue in contempt ; who ioved a. dog better than an honest man ; was scarcely capable of honouring a great man. The various monuments of the good and great and gifted who had found reposo beneath the venerable roof of Westminster Abbey wore next spoken of. Having noticed statesman, philanthropists. and others,3 who had assisted in making Kngland what she is. ' and whose iiiam.es bead her history. Mr Clark proceeded to "Poets Corner," and revived the memories of the singers—the gifted sons of song—most of whom were denied bread in life, and at death rewarded with a stone. Mr Clark's introductory remarks on this part of hi 3 subject were extremely felicitous, and evidenced a mind keenly alive to toe sweet and consolatory influences of melody and soa-g. He noticed the poets, one after another, from Chancer.in relation to the progress of humanity;

introdiicins: in connection, with oach poet soiue rich passage, or epitaph; and all these were given with a correctness of style, and power of memory that were marvellous. He referred again to the beautiful language of the. Ameri can Goldsmith, and gave a passage from the ''Sketch Book,"" t ouching1 this most remarkable ci at! the world's "burial places—" Poets' Corner." Shakespeare and Addisoa have statues erected to their memories, but the greater part have busts, medallions, and sometimes mere inscrip tions. Visitors to the Abbey, however, linger longer in Poets' Corner than around the monu ments of the great and heroic, as though they were among the tombs of friends and com panions. "' \TeIF said Irving, "may the world cherish the memory of the poet, for he lias lived for them more than for himself; he sacrificed in life almost every enjoyment, and shut, himself up from the delights of social life, that he might the more intimately commune with distant minds and distant ages. "Weil may posterity be grateful to his memory, for he has left it an inheritance, not of empty names cyid sspivading actions, but choice treasures of wisdom, bright gems of thought, and golden veins of language." The lecturer concluded with a beautiful peroration on his subject, acknowledging his indebtedness to Dean Stanley's ".Memorials of Westminster Abbay.:" and announced that as his stay in. Auckland would be short, he would deliver his next lecture on Monday evening, the subject.

An Auckland Romance.

Tmi: aristocratic residents of a fashionable thoroughfare branching from Symoitds streot Domainwards have been discussing a choice morceau of gossip. A bank clerk—tall, handsome, and only 24—who lodged in that interesting vicinity, Ims been laid up with brain fever for several mouths. He was treated with all manner of kindness by his landlady, a matron of mature years, homely disposition, and with many olive brandies, extending even to the third generation. His gratitude was ■so great, or his appreciation of the tender solicitude so intense, that he determined to secure his nurse for life, and the wedding was arranged for Wednesday no::t. The harmonious blending of spring and is difficult of accomplishment. With the restoration of physical strength came a disposition to wander into greener pastures, and the swain employed the early days Ox convalescence in meditating upon the ties and responsibilities of a father cv six grown-up children, to say nothing of grana childrei>. Yesterday he left word that he was going for a short ride. At a later period, the sad intelligence was conveyed to a lady and a fellow-lodger that ho had repented of hh resolve., and left the city—it is supposed by the steamer Southern Cross. The "intending wedding guests are now, alas, apprised that the bride bewails the inconstancy of her loved one, and tne looked-for wedding festivities are mueh ni'tely postponed.

THE PAPER CHASE.

THE Amateur Athletic Club open their j season to-day with a crosscountry paper- : chase, which starts from the Choral rlall, : at 3 o'clock. A largo number of the mem- i bers of the Club and several of their friends j .are expected to start, For the information j of those who do not know the "how" of \ this li.oalthy amusement, we may istate ; that the whole affair is an hunt. Two good runners are selected | to represent' hares. These' are _ sent j off some minutes in advance of the | main body, who, of course, represent ; the hoiinds; they strike out a course j unknown to anyone but themselves, but j leave the "scent " to enable their pursuers J to track them. The "scent" consists of ( bags of small pieces of paper from which: the hares scatter handfulls at intervals , along their route. It is the work of the . hounds to try and catch the hares if po3- j sible, or if they fail to do this to obtain the ; honor of arriving at the end of the run as ! soon after them as possible. The " hares ' on the r.reseut occasion, are Messrs T. Hen- j derson, junr., H. E. Cotton, and Dayrell. j Mr W. W. Robinson will act as "whipper la," and Mr King, the secretary, as starter. ,

THE ALLEGED CHILD-MURDER AT WELLINGTON.

[BY TELEGRAPH],

(Press Agency.)

I WELLINGTON, this da;,. j: Mrs Mary Ann Trueman, and hei daughter, Mary Leonard Mudgeway, were brought up at the K.M. Court to-day charged with child-murder. A great deal of evidence \va^ taken. The Court was crowded the whole time. A chemist deposed tc the virTs eldest sister asking him for medicine to procure abortion few fcor sister, who she said had been outraged. Ho refused. Another sister bought some quick lime from him, to cover a dog, slisjsaid. He forgot to tell her to put water upon. it. Hence the body was well preserved wlien found in Tree mains' shed. The mother and daughter were committed for trial.

The Angaries of the cable.—The follow ing amusing verses from a West Coast paper hit off the inconsistences and con tradictions of cable news in a very happy manner :—-

Cv Tuesday morning Russia claimed A victory for Si or side ; On Wednesday. "From a 'Furkish source," The %-ictory was denied. On Thursday each side swore it had The other put to rout, And Eriday's new.-; the flight confirmed

Without the slicrhtost doubt. O.i Saturday 'twas whispered raund

The whole affair was small And Sunday's eab!e news declared

There'll heou no fight at all

We underssand that the lunatics at the Barracks have behaved themselves very well up to the present time, but are getting very much excited. This is probably due to the fact that they are continually subjected to Ktho stare of large numbers of boys and others who make their com ments on the patients very loudly. A misunderstanding unfortunately exists between the warders and Mr Brophy, the depot muster. Tins has led to a {summons being taken out by the latter against one of the warders for ejecting a, man whom Mr Brophy had instructed to go the rounds of the patients. Tne who'e of the portion of the asylum which has been burnt had lire-proof brick arches on iron girders between the lower and upper stories of the building. It was owing to these that the upper portion of tho building only was burnt ; but for them tho lower fitorcy would have gone aluo, and very likely the whole building would have been destroyed with perhaps loss of many lives. We understand that it was proposed to build th« new wing without these arch«s, but it may be hoped that the recent experience wMI cans;! the abandonment of any such intention, and lead to incorporation of the fire-proof floor in the new building.
