THE OPERA CONCERT TO-NIGHT.

The newly-formed Opera Concert Company will give an initial performance at the Theatre Royal this evening. The pro gramme appears to be a very interesting and various one. Signora Caranti Vita will open the ball by singing a delightful Swedish air, which is one of Christine Nillson's favourite songs. A duet from " Roberto il Diavolo," by Signori Camero and Tessada, will follow ; and then Signora Venosta is to give a ballad from " The Huguenots." During the evening Signor Paladini will appear thrice : firstly, in au aria from " La Favorita ;" secondly, in the famous duet, "Nostri Monti" ("II Trovatore"), with Signora Venosta; and, lastly, in a quartette from"Un Ballo." M. Carron will make his first appearance in Auckland as a solo violinist. We anticipate much pleasure from his performance. He is to play De Berrot's Eighth Concerto, a Meditation, and Garryowen. In the second part Signora Vita will sing " When other lips;" Signor Camero will give an air from "Rigoletto;" and Signor Tessada will sing a humorous song in ladies' costume. Altogether the programme sounds remarkably attractive, and we shall be surprised if there is not a full house. The performance will be under the patronage of the officers of the Christi fero Colombo.

THE SEA SERPENT MYSTERY EXPLAINED.

During the last two weeks much specu lation has been indulged in with regard to the nature of the monster reported to have been seen disporting off Brown's Island by the captain, crew, and passengers, of the s.s. Durham. At the time, it was stated that several cutters were in close proximity to the gigantic marine curiosity, but our efforts to find these vessels proved un availing until this morning, when we were informed by the captain of the cutter Tamaki Packet that he passed close to the monster, which, he states, was nothing more than a young sperm whale. He believes, but is not quite certain, that at the time of the whale being seen by the people on board the Durham it was making strenuous and partly-successful efforts to stand on its head. This will easily account for these on board mistaking it for a sea-serpent. Altogether, however, it

appears to u» that^the whole affair looks " very like a Avhale."

THE ACCIDENT TO HONORA MAHER.

With reference to the accident Avhich occurred to the poor little child, Honora Malier, who was almost burnt to death, and now lies in a very critical condition at the Hospital, we r learn that most credit is due to Mr Coleman, who alone was on tte spot at the time. Mr W. Dawson, chemist, also deserves a great' k deal of praise for the tender and kindly manner in which he dressed the .child's burns gratis. It was the mother, and not Constable - MeGilp, who conveyed her to the Hospital.

THE NEW POPE.

The modus operandi of a Papal election, as given by Mr J. A. Trollope in his book on "Papal Conclaves," is, as might be supposed, a very elaborate one. The ceremony takes place in the Pauline Chapel. Here the cardinals meet every morning and afternoon, and give their votes until some one person has received tAVO-thil'ds of all the votes present. " Each cardinal, sitting at his oAvn table, under a canopy, writes in the middle of a prepared sheet of paper the name of 'the candidate—Avho may be anybody, or at all events any male baptized person .vhat soever, but Avho is in modern times invaria bly a cardinal—and at the bottom of the paper his OAvn name. This paper is folded, so sealed that the uame of the Avriter is hidden, and carried to the altar by the cardinal himself, Avho, kneeling, pronounces in Latin the following solemn oath :—" I call to Avitness Christ our Lord, Avho .A'ill be my judge, that I am electing him Avhom before God I think ought to be elected." He then places the vote in the chalice or urn on tha altar, Avhere the scrutator, always an eminent cardinal, either the Cardinal Camerlengo (Secretary of State), or head of one of the Monastic orders, mixes them up together, and counts them. If there is any mistake, and the balloting papers are not equal in number to the number of cardinals present, the votes are burned; but this rarely happens. The scrutators then, sitting in front of the altar so that they may be seen, read out each A'ote, without however, reading the voter's name, which is left sealed up, and then the total numbers are recorded and read aloud. If any cardinal's name is on t.vo-thirds of the voting-papers, the ceremonial ends, for he is Pope ; but this, it may be said, never happens until many ballots have been taken, and each scrutiny is almost as a matter of course folloAved by an ' accessit.' This is, in fact, a. second voting, in Avhich each Cardinal ' accedes' to some name or other for which a vote has been recorded, and differs from the first voting only in this, that the choice is no longer unlimited. The Cardinal acceding can only accede to a name already proposed. It the ' accessit' is successful, the votes are verified—care being taken to ascertain that the Pope Elect has not voted for himself, as that invalidates an election—and the election is complete ; but if not,the same ceremonial is repeated twice a day until the vacancy is filled. It Avill readily be perceived that, removed as they are from the external world, certain that no vote given Avill be published till the election is complete, and in full sight of the Avhole proceedings, the cardinals are made as independent as they can bo, and are placed quite beyond the risk of any trickery, falsification of 'votes, or incorrect returns. As a matter of fact, in modem times the main difficulty is to attract from the different parties enough names to make up the legal majority, for there is this peculiarity in a Papal election, that there is no provision against its lasting for ever, or rather until the minority resisting has been thinned down by neatb. As long as one-third plus one resist, or Avrite " For nobody" on their votinp papers, no Pope can be elected, and an interregnum inightly easily last many mouth?.

It has been stated that Pope Pecci has held the office of Cardinal Camerlengo. The Cardinal Camcrleugo is the functionary who governs the Church during the interregnum. He is the Pope-maker, and is generally regarded as the one who is the least likely to become Pope himself. It is not a com mon thing for the Camerlengo to be elected Pope. It is not without reason that one who has the control of the machinery by which the Pope is elected is supposed not to have his eyeon the papacy. Hence it is said that wheu Cardinal De Angelis died, Panebianco declined to fill the vacant position of Camerlengo because he wished to be Pope. It. is even stated that Pecci was made Camerlengo becanse his chances of becoming the successor of PiuslX. would be consider ably lessened by his becoming the successor of Cardinal de Angelis. Pecci, is regarded as one of the most liberal of the moderates.

Signor Bonghi lias described Pecci as one of the most elevated miuds and of the most even tempers in thc^Sacred College," and this estimate of the new Pope is said to be the general one. Like Pius IX., Leo XIII. ascends the Papal tbrone a Liberal. Whether the Liberalism of the latter will assume the shape that the Liberalism of the former assumed remains to be seen. The official career of the incoming Pope is not likely to be marked by the changes and the troubles which made the Pontificate of Pio Nono so remarkable. fThe new Pope will hardly regard himself, or be regarded by his children, as the prisoner of the Vatican. But although tne times may change, and the policy of the Vatican may move in tbe direction of a compromise with one or two of the States with which it has been hitherto at war, the probability is that the Papacy itself will go on under the new Pope just as it did under the old one.

The value ot coke as a tuel, and as a means ot economy of coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal and coke is invaluable for the ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs .he smoke or inflammable gases given off by coal during combustion, and renders the lire brighter,clear w,'and hotter. This is much more apparent where our local coals are used; indeed, owing to the rapidity of burning, some of these threaten to go out of consumption altogether. Coke supplies exactly that which these coals lack—body and resistance. Every householder should buy coals and coke at the same time, and, if convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and greater satisfaction will be the result. The price of coke is advertised elsewhere — [Advt.l M~ AGNIFICENT Views cf London TO t%NIGHT, at Albert Hall. THE HORSE GUARDS—"An Imposing Sight." | mHE ADMIRALTY.
