To Mr Rees :He signed the promissory note for his son-in-law, Prosser, on the faith that Prosser Avas to have a sum of money from England.

REV. W. RICE ON "SELF-CULTURE."

St. Patrick's Hall was croAvded last evening on thfi occasion of a lecture on the interesting subject of "Self-Culture," by Rev W. Rice, Catholic priest, at present on a visit to Auck land. Rev Father Fynes, V G., occupied the chair, supported by Rev Fathers Macdonald, ODwyer, Grange, Dr O'Connor, and Major Green. Mr Owen Mahon, secretary of the Christian Doctrine Society, read a report on the condition of the Society, and . oliciting support, lhe Rev W. Rice Avas then introduced by the chairman, and was received Avith warm applause, and, having acknowledged tbe com pliment paid to him, entered upon the subject of the evening, and remarked that although Science had made great strides, and knowledge of every description had advanced, it would appear, A'iewed in another light, that people AA'ere turning back into the Dark Agps. As Catholic young men their place Avas in the van. There Avas so much irreligion in the world at the present time that it was necessary Catholic young men should have a fount of knoAvledge to themselves, and be guided by the unerring principle, of faith in their s. lf-culture. They might have plenty of literature, but they Should be very careful as to their selection from the tree 0? knowledge, t,l"> <'o.i -^.n §£ knowiedjjts and. science were tali-tea. with ij«*?ttr;U.., and U\e history <j| the !__st 30, y,*_B

of volumes Avere issued from the press, calculated to subvert the foundation of their faith, and of Avhich the church for bade them to taste, lest they die. The rev. lecturer gave examples from history to sheAv that the greatest heroes and Avisest men were eminently christian, and defined self-culture as mental tillage or self-teaching, and urged the personal duty of cultivating the mind, a duty Avhich should only end Avith life. The lecturer then dwelt at some length on the benefits aris ing from a cultivated society, and read an extract from Lord Macaulay, iv favour of tho A'ieAvs he Avished to advance. It was the uneducated avlio disgraced their country and filled their jails: the properly educated sought purer joys; for such a one, nature had new charms, and with some author or favourite poet, he could enter into the spirit of the past. The lecturer then referred lo authors of humble birth, who had attained eminent positions by perseverence and self-culture, especially to Shakespeare, Burns, Moore and others who had left thoir "footprints in the.sands of time." They had also, in the Catholic Church, offices Avhich Avere open to all, Avithout distinction of birth or fortune. The education that men receivedafter their sch 001-daysAvas, as anile, the most sol id and serA-iceable. The rev. gentleman concluded an elaborate and instructive lecture, by urging young men to the discipline of the heart as AA'ell as the cultivation of the head, and thus aA roid the contagion of a bad example.

COMMERCIAL.

Mr G. W. Biimey this morning offered the schooners William and Julia, and' Kenilworth, for sale at his auction rooms.

Of course boUi vessels were Avith drawn, and then the audience Avent away, grumbling that 110 lunch Avas provided.

Messrs E. and H. Isaacs held a sale of musical instruments at their stores to-day. The attend ance was good, and the bidding spirited. The aA-erage prices realised the costs and charges.

A vote of thanks to the chairman was passed, aud the meeting broke, up.
