any of the party refusing to make hay (laughter and cheers.) No iniportaut measure could be brought down. What was the remedy? plainly| dissolution. They might fairly calculate that three out of every four members of a Representatives Assembly were honest men, and when the honest people are equal, then rogues can tura everything to their own advantage. An evenly balanced state of parties was a splendid chance for them. If was summer, and they were tmsv making hay. Votes became ex ceedingly precious and high. He had only heard of one case of turning hay into cash, and that was not 'proved. Dr Wallis referred to other evil?, and contended that the whole colony should rise and stop it. There was another consideration in favour of dissolution : the present parlia ment was elected for the abolition of

provinces. Sir George Grey battled bravely for this, and lost. Make one parse for the colony, and let provincialism go (cheers). The sooner there was a dissolution the better for the people. The Jate session, however, had been successful in manifesting the strength of parties. He had a tear in his eye for the failure, and was rejoiced at the same time. There was hope that public affairs would be con ducted in the future to the benefit of the whole communitj'. The attempt to es tablish somethinglikeanoliganarchic despo B tism had signally failed, and has been defeated Those who made the attempt were not killed, but scotched. It was possible that Grey would not be able to stand the Opposition in alliance with the trimmers, but supposing he was ousted there was no other course but dissolution. He believed the voice of the whole people was in favour of supporting Sir George Grey's Government. Sir George i and Mr Macandrew were for Separation, and he (Dr. Wallis) trusted that Mr Whitaker would yet be true to his political crew. Sir George and Mr Whitaker, acting together, would be a tower of strength. (Cheers). Mr J. P. King moved a vote of thanks to the two hon. members who had addressed that large meeting Mr King dwelt at considerable length upon the importance of the people insisting on their constitutional rights, and not going cap in. hand to the Governor as if they .sought a favour. He thought the Home Government should be memorialised to obtain the Marquis of Noimanby's recall.

Mr tfoldship seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation.

Mr Shera proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor.

Mr Goklie, in seconding,, spoke eulogisti cally of the services of his Worship during his term of oilice. Auckland had never had a better Mayor. The motion was carried amid loud cheers.

The meeting was brought to a close by three enthusiastic cheers for Sir George (irey, called for by Mr Brett, after which the "name of "Billy Howe," called out by one of the audience, elicited very hearty

groans.

"LONDON ASSURANCE."

BouciCAUi/r's pleasant comedy of London Assurance" was produced last, evening in the Theatre Royal, but, unfortunately, owing to the great political meeting in the Choral Hall, and Other attractions, was not so largely patronised as previous plays. Sir Harcourt Courtly was a splendid impersonation by Mr Morton Tavarps, displaying a thorough knowledge of the charac ter, associated with the necessary qualifications forcorapletonessandartisuc finish. AlrsTavares exhibited the gay Lady Spanker in a manner which commanded the applause of the house. All the peculiarities, if not striking fascinations of Lady Spanker were brought out in cioar relief, and the delineation was perfect in its way. Miss Tilly Andrews, with her usual vivacity of acting and clear definitions of the phases of feminine portraiture, represented CTraoe Harkaway with much ability. Nelly Daley, as Pert, was equal to her model. The incidental liiusic, moveover, was wel] rendered by the members of the orchestra, xmder Mr Cope. The play does not ! admit of elaborate display in the minor charac ters, still these were distinguished by various degrees of excellence, Mr Leopold had an ODportunity of exhibiting his humour as Mark Meddle, but the characters of Cool, by Mr Alexander, and Dazzle, by Mr Belton, were aot the happiest positions for shewing the histrionic abilities of these gentlemen, but it could not be helped under the circumstances. We fairly admit that these actors would have shone to more advantage in other dramas. Mr Searle did his best to render Max Harkaway accept able to the audience, as did also Messrs Belton and Verner. On the whole, "London Assurance" was well represented by the company, considering the continued labours and disadvantages to which the members are subjected in being compelled to present a fresh play nearly eveiy night. The entertainment of this evening will comprise Shakespeare's" great tragedy oil "Othello," in five acts, illustrative of the _"green : eyed monster" which plays such havoc in the circles of society. Othello is one of the most wonderful of Shakespeare's tragedies, shewing by nice touches of genius the first whisper of the fatal passion, its irrowth and inundating power, fanned by the pestilential breath of an lago, until it ends in the murder of its innocent victim Desdemona. MrTavares'impersonation of lago won the well-merited enconiums of the London prees, during the season of ISG9, when he was playing nightly to crowded houses at Sadler's Wells, associated with the memory of Joseph Grimaldi, whose wit and humour charmed Charles Dickens in his youth. '" Othello the Moor" should command a full house

GRAND ORGAN RECITAL.

The grand organ recital by Mr Martin Swallow la3t evening in St Matthew's church, was most successful. The church was crowded on the occasion, and great satisfaction evinced in an unmistakabla manner. The programme con tained a number of high-class sacred ana secu lar compositions, which were performed in the most pleasing manner. The first part included the " Marche aux Flambeaus (by desire), facot son Clark: (a) Andante Movement (from quartett in D minor), Mozart; (b) Offertorium (Sancti et Justi). Mozart; Conce?-to, Kinck; (1) Allegro Maestoso ; (2) Adagio ; (3) Rondo Allegretto ; Chorale No. IV., with 4 variations (by desire), Rinck ; the tune No. 192 in Hymns Ancient and Modern, (1875 cd.), is taken from this Chorale; •'The Cardinals' March" (in the press), Martin Swallow; and the second part—Festival March, Dunster: Chorus, "Lift up your Heads (Messiah) Handel; Concertante Slow Movement (Symphony No. V.), Haydn ; Prelude and I< ague, Rinck; and Wedding March, Mendelssohn: The " Te Deum" by the choir, new music by Mr Joseph Brown, was rendered with exquisite taste. The whole of the recital reflected great credit on the musical capabilities of Mr Swallow, and the offertory at the close wa^considerable. and will add favourably to the Sunday-school Fund- Sigma.

CONVENT SCHOOLS, PONSONJBY.

The annual examination of the above schools took place on Thursday, and was very successful. The Very Itev. Father Fynes, V.G., presided. There were also present the Revs Father Walter McDonald, J. Paul, O'Eeilly. Chastagnon, and Rior dan, Mr P. Darby, ahd a number. of other visitors. The children of the orphan school were first examined, and appeared to afford much satisfaction to the audience. After a short interval the young ladies of the select and boarding-school underwent their examination, and it is needless to say that on this occasion, as well as in the past, they acquitted themselves most creditably. The subjects chosen were the Christian doctrine, grammar, geography, especially thatofNewZealand, botany, history biblical secular ancient and modern, mental calcula tion, book-keeping and othertiseful branches. A dialogue in French by a number of the pupils was acknowledged to have secured correct pronunciation, and a clear per ception of the idiomatic and other phrases used. The school-room was most taste fully ornamented with the fancy work executed by pupils, prominent among which were several flower shades, " Tableau d'Application," and every variety of wool work. An address of welcome was read by one of thi young lady pupils. The prizes will be distributed at the drama prepared for Thursday next at two o'clock. These schools, in which ladies of all denomina tions have received a sound moral and superior education, combining all accom plishments, were established by the late Bishop Pompallier, and have steadily grown in importance and public favour. The singing of the National Anthem having brought the examinations to a close, the very reverend chairman expressed in a few appropriate words, the great satisfaction it afforded him to witness the proficiency of the pubils, and his thanks to the good nuns in whose charge they were. The instru mental music and recitations were a feature in the afternoon's programme and were com mended, especially one pianoforte solo by a young lady of very tender years.
