doing so had involved tho burning of the original instead of tho etfij<y. I am not afraid that I shall bo able to justify my voto lo my constituents, and will certainly not try to conciliate tho.tag-rag-and-bobtail whoso intelligence does not ii.se above burn ing in eilitry those who may differ from them in opinion or action. I cannot in this letter explain or detail the reasons (and they were many) which prompted my action, but this much I will say, that I looked upon the Ministry as I would look upon a b'oic'icd piece of mosiac work, tho combination of whose colours had been made so in harmoniously, and whoso component parts had been arranged so unartistically, that i» its wholo it presented not one lineament of 'a thing of beauty,' nnd from the im perfect workmanship in its construction, showed no evidence whatever of permanent durability."

LECTURE ON CANON KINGSLEY.

An appreciative lecture was given Instcvon ing in the Young Men's Christian Associa tion hall on Charles Kingsloy, tho well known author, poet, and preacher of Eversloy, by H. G, Sotli Smith, Esq. Tho hall was filled with listeners, and much at tention paid to tho critical and pleasing narration of a good man's lifo and works. Rev. R. Bavin, of Cirafton Wosloyan Church, presided, and formally introduced the lecturer, who needed no other introduc tion but a lecture on the brave-hearted Kingsley. The exceedingly pleasing and ably-produced "Life and Letters" of this amiable and attractive character by his affectionate widow have made the name of Kinsley universally known, and there are few young men in Auckland who have not read that remarkablo and beauti ful narrative of tho man whoso memory is dear to British hearts. Mr Smith had evi dently studiod the man's thoughts, and was in full sympathy with the thoughts and aspirations which run through his varied and harmonious works. Tlie lecturer, perhaps wisely, treated of Kingsley's lifo as a votary of literature, tracing his career from boyhood at lovely Clovelly, on'tho rocky const of North Dovon ; his school days at Clifton, overlooking the western Avon by tho ancient city of Bristol, referring particularly to tho Bristol riots, which old men in Auckland remember, and which deoply impressed Kingsley's mind and moved him to sympathy with the working classes, to whom ho was ever a steady friend and consistent adviser. Kingsley's years nt Cambridge, his religious struggles for tho true light, and his final settlement as the country clergyman in the old rectory in the heath-circled village of Eversley, were fairly delineated by Mr Smith. Kingsley's nearest friends, especially Professor JTredk. Penison Mauiine (Tennyson's godfather), were referred to, and his genial in fluence on the student's mind. A cursory review of Kingsley's numerous works, poems, novels, dramas, and scientific works was given, and a sketch of the author's connection with the Chartist movement, in which Kingsley sympathised, pointing out at the same time that physical force was not God's way of human freedom. The lecture was thorough, instructive, and gratifying, closing with a just tribute to the man and tho industrious author who had rendered no small service to humanity by his almost ceaseless labours as an author and speaker. A hearty vote of thanks was unanimously accorded to the lecturer, who briefly acknowledged it.
