More than 300 cersons partook of a bountiful tea, associated Srtth "ood thoughts prepared by the Jadies— Mesdames Bruce. Dixon, <^cc. Baxtw He.nug, Johnston. Keano, Mnier, Pa-k«r, Watts, Tatter sail, l>akiu, Edwards, French, Taylor, Waddii.g ham, Whitehcad, anrt Williams, towards winch the members of the choir, and th^ young men and -women's classes contributed. Jhe chair was taken by Mr George Hemus. Supermten dent of. the schorl, and tsie meeting or-ened with BW .-. r -;y Mr Colo, anil a hymn if Uie choir, under the direction of Mr h. Tudehope. The ■S''cretarv, Mr Tat'ewoll. read a carefully written report of tlw work ot the past year, iv ; which iM.veaio.i the following facts:—At the and at jr"sent 26s. viz , 131 hoys nnd 121 girls, under a competent etaff of 26 mule ana female teachers, who take a sleep interest in their selt imposed work. There is a good library attached to the school, which has recentlybeen closed for alteration, but which will be shortly opened wi'h a new supply of carefully selected books. Ihe report referred tothc number of marrnge3 among the teachers during the ycor, as an interesting feature; but while a record was made by these happy events, death had also vMted the Sunday school and taken away one of thair loiiK-tncd a- d useful to tchers, iv the person of Mrs lude hope, whose early death had produced a general feeling of haaitfelt sorrow, both in t™ school and church. A special Sunday servjoo was held every Sunday monvng, averaging oO in attend ance. The choir wn.i progressing favourably: also, the " F?and of Hope." numbering 110 meiabftw. The jinondnl statement showed.that the receipts ilnrir-g the year hud been £/818s Id, while the- exf.oiv imre had been £110 8s 6d, leaving a debit balance <aie to cue Treasurer of £31 103 sd. \ co-timied effort has been made to e7ect a new school, as the old brick building toes notation! buiticient accommodation. A regular subscription towards this object is made on Sundays by the teachers and scholars, amounting the programme. Tho Chairman, ma good Bnee?h° oview.!d the items of the report in con- Section'^[h the past year, taking for the b«sis of his thcughls, the text, " Work while it is day, fer the nilht, cometh." Mr Hemus enlivened hi* sneech with a anecdote, and stated that among ilirfr contributions, was " chin money, given by a member who had allowed his beard to grow for the purpose oE dropping.the six senses hitherto given to Uie barber, into the ISndav-sohool box. The Rev. B. Taylor spoke fou fifteen minutes on "Maternal influen.-e on the formation of character. The speech was practical and full of wise sugges tirit Mr Taylor paid he thought little of ihc young man who could speak slighting of lnj mother and nse such t rms as the old woman" and the "old man " The word mother was one of the most endearing of terms, and the four 3weete t, words in the language were home, rest, mother, heaven. The speech *as listened to with profound attention. Mr S. Parkers address was on "Love's Influence, and well received. The tenor of the speech was poetical, showing the influence of love in all its relations of life, and its beneficent eftecte, even in a tender smile and a kindly word, upon the heart. Ho re i -robated that stuck-up, pride and chilly stiffness which pervaded colonial society, and especially towards children. Rev. i G. Bond mads an excellent speech, in rather too .rapid ia manner for its due reception, on the Q«a'inca tions necessary in a s-uccessful Sunday-shool Teacher." Mr Bond's speech was thoroughly Drar-ti'-al and sugg?stive, and as a guide, de ?erv«preser/atifnin durable letters. The las speaker was Mr Enoch Wood, whose subject was "Past, Pr-sont. add Future," but owing to the latene-s of the hour, w as) not elaborated to thef "11 extent of the speaker's intentions. Ihe choir sang from dauke.'s collection between the addressed and the meetinij closed with a general vote of thank?, proposed by Mr Jas. Coupland, which was carried by acclamation, anil an ever-insr hymn.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before A. Beetham, Esq..Justice of the Peace.) DBUKKESNESS. — John Buckingham, charged with drunkenness, forfeited his bail. , _ , The President. — Andrew Johnson, alias " Tlie President," was charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct in Queen-street, last night. Prisoner pleaded guilty Constable Kelly witnessed pri soner's conduct. He was in a great state of excitement, and making a noise about tnvnmc the colony into a Republic after the HTliHTlCaii type, rftiu "»'i"s '" *■*-•- -«.!.«*»* his great namesake, Andy Johnson, who was a tailor, and he w.is a sailor, so that their occupations were within one letter alike. As the disorderly conduct was harmless, he was liberated on -payment of 5s and costs. Peter of the Sea. —Peter Johnstone, was brought up, charged with a breach of the Merchant Shipping Act, by absenting himself without leave from the barque Spirit of the Dawn, on the 9th instant. Prisoner pleaded guilty.—Captain James Wards said that the ship was in the stream, and if the man was willing to return to his duties he would not press the charge, but would take him back.—Prisoner expressed his willingness to return.—The Bench gave prisoner a caution as to his future conduct, jiud considered the master very lenient towards him iv not pressing the charge. Had he done so, he would have been punished.—Discharged. The Tender Passion.—James Forsyth was charged on a summons for committing a violent assault on Augustus Frederick Coleman, at the Whan, on the 6th inst., by striking him on the eye, and injuring his arm.—The facts of the case were simple and arose out of a love affair. Ir appeared that Forsyth had been paying court >o a "Whau lass, and Coleman came between the pair and proffered his hand. The girl al3O smiled upon the new comer. Forsyths cheeks became red with anger, and his first, in defiance of reason, went forcibly against his rival's eye, felling his body to earth and in the fall Coleman's elbow-was skinned. Coleman took out a summons, but as the evidence was likely to overthrow him, he withdrew the case. This was all the business. A meeting of the members of the Union Cricket Club will take place this evening in the Rob Roy Hotel, Freeman's Bay, when members are desired to walk up and pay their subscriptions, and assist towards the cricketing arrangements for the coming season.
