It was undesirable that the labourers should be kept working in the Park after mid dny on Saturdays, seeing that it was a pleasure resort.

Ryle-stkkkt. —Areport from the Sanitary Inspector io Mr Shillington's complaint of imperfect drainage in Rylo-street waa re forred to the Streets Committee.

Fixixo ok Levels. - It was resolved to fix as advertised the levels of Prospect Terrace, Blake-street, Sheehan-street (be tween King and Dignan-streets), Dignan street, and Stuart-street, all in the Pon fconby Ward,

AberokOiMbiband Lorvi; streets Levels. —The Engineer submitted fresh plans of levels of Lome-street as authorised by Council, The original plans were objected to as showing a filling of tlirpe feet a little below Abercrombie^street. The plans now submitted showed the present level of foot

ways on both Rules of-the street. The o i,'iiial section,* which represented the centre line of the thoroughfare, showed a tilling i;f iihont tlirno feof, wliereas the lovel when takni cm tho bnel; lino of eastern footway, wlioto niphnltcl, »!ioavcl only n liliii.gof about tv.n ieeti, so tlmt thoro wns twelve inches less of tilling on tho footway than was underatood by the objectors. He ?till thought that tho levels (should not be moiiilied as required by the objec tors, us the otlect would be to make the work a complete abortion. If, however, tho Council desired to accommodnte them, he recommended the present asphalt levol as shown by black line on section plan for eastern aide. It was resolved that the Aberorombio-street levels should be fixed as advortised, and thatthe further considera tion of the Lornestreet levels) should be deferred for a fortnight. Mayor's Pic.nio.— The Mayor asked leave to close the Corporation offices at 12 o'clock noon on Saturday week, on which occasion he proposed to treat the Council officials to a picnic. In order that it might) not prove to be a mere "liddler's bidding," he made the above request.—The application was tacitly agreed to. jM it I'antku'.s AprwOATioN Again.—Cr. Montague moved, " That the resolution ot tlioCouncildecliningilrPanter's application of the 4th September bo rescinded in order that the matter bo reconsidered." — The application referred to was that for the re fund of £')00 paid the Council for iis right in the Wuverloy Hotel license.—Cr. Duvorts seconded. — Upon the resolution boing put to the Council, there voted for it: Crs. Devore, Connolly, Mon tague, Uattray, Burns, Morrison, J\lase lield, and tho Mayor, and against it: Ci>. Holland, Mackeclinio, Coopsr, Upton, Dignan, Crowther, La Koohe, Aickin, (loldie, Waymouth and Garratt. It was therefore lost.

PROFESSOR BERNARDS COM PLIMENTARY PARTY.

Pkofkssok Jules Beksard's complimentary party to hie pupils was given in the Choral Hall last evening, and took the form of a plain and fancy dress ball. There was a very lurgo number present, about three hundred tickets having been taken at the door. Tho dancing hall was tastefully decorated with flags, &c, and presented a very pretty appearance, which added to the good effect of a fine selection of fancy dress costumes, some of which wero of a very pretty character. Messrs Hannckin's band provided excellent danco musio. Professor Bernard was most energetic in superintending arrangements, and in promoting the pleasure of all present, while Mr Armstrong actod as as sistant master of ceremonies, and discharged the customary duties in a very able manner. The catering was dono by Mr Dallon, who provided refreshments in the southern ante room. The juveniles of Professor Bernurd'u various classes attended from 7 to 9, and they evidently had a very pleasant gather ing. A pretty feature in thin part of this evening wan tlio coronation of littlo MW OenniK, which wan earned out, with excel lent efleet by thu aid of the limelight. Pro. fcfii>or Bernard aluo held an «xamination of pupibt, during which eueli danced toparately and prizes were awarded to the most suc cessful competitors, us follow :—Two gold nieiiala, presented by ])r. Hooper, were won by Mies Darguville, of Airs Cluy ton'n school, and Miss Roberta, of the l'onponby Convent School.

During the evening eight of the youngest pupils danced the French cotillon by limelight. They showed grent proficiency, and reflected credit on their tutor. Tho French cotillon nnd tbe new wultz are the special dances introduced by Professor Bernard. Both were danced by pupils, and were generally acknowledged to be very pretty nnd graceful dances. The adult pupils and tiieir friends arrived at 9 o'clock, when dancing was continued, and kept up with vigour until 3 o clock this morning.

RELIGIOUS TEACHING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

(BY TELEGRAPH,—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Dunedin, this day. Ministers have discontinued the Bible classes in State schools for tho following reasons:—(l) Because it is impossible to secure a sufficient number of teachors, little moro than ono-half of the city and suburban schools^being regularly visited. (2) Though and in some instances considerable numbers, attend where teaching is regularly given, yet it is found that almost without excep tion they are children from religious homes and belonging to Sabbath-schools. The attendance of pupils whom it is especially desired to roach cannot bo secured at volun tary classes held before school hours. (3) That tho solution of tiie religious question most in harmony with public feeling is the daily reading of a portion of Scripture in tbe school?,and the opening of the school with tho Lord's Prayer.

'. hi' public ouiiffcioiicu v lining in indignation at wh;»i ie ■■(.n.-iui.rs the un fair conduct 'it thu i"'>j!iiia<:u/Central in England iv sending a portion of our mail via lirindisi, and I.is liccimin;; 1., tease doing so. Ido t.ot think the ( .ui.,iic liave all the case before thorn to enable them to judge how far the conauru now being poured out upon him is merited. One conclusion he has come to is that he will not have New Zealand letters accumulating for a whole month ; he will have the oliice cleared at stated intervals. It cannot matter to him one iota how the letters arc conveyed whether P. and 0., Orient, or direct service, so long as they are oui ol his way. 1 should uot be surprised it it turns out that any wishes we might have that our letters should come by direct steamers have not been properly placed Ufoie him. Indeed, I expect it will rather be i-hown that it is only now that our Government see his de termination to hnve his oliice cleared periodically have said in effect: "If you won't stir from that, woll, send them by direct steamers." if we do not mind we are likely to lose our heads a little over this business. The notice of motion by our Treasurer is an open declaration of war with the authorities at Home. We are going to retaliate, and that is var. Let us look calmly at the question for one moment. Frst we say we will chirgo one shilling for each letter leaving here to go via Biindisi that wo have a perfect right to do, and i\lr L'uwcett would doubtless say, " Chargehalf a-crown if you like ;" sscondly, we fay we will surcharge every letter arriving here not franked with a one shilling rato per half ounce. That wo have no right to do, and if wo attempt it we cannot enforce. A letter passed as correct at one end mußt be ac cepted by the other. Surcharges are made at thedepartureend. Itissonow; the rato from England via Biindisi is (id, whereas the rate from here to England by same route is Bd. Let us attempt to surcharge letters as now threatened, and depend upon it, reprisals will bo exacted. Some fine morn ing, when our 'Frisco mailarrives iv London, it may be the whole of it will ba surcharged after the like fashion. We must not go to to war in this day ; diplomacy, a rightly ueed, cai:, I am sure, adjust all differences

I should like to say a word about the San Francisco service. It must, I think, be generally admitted this is not performed as well as it might be. I think I am within the truth when I say that since the service was ro-Ofgatrcpd ten months ago, it has not more than oin;o uuun ujj Lv eoi.uuut time. The last arrival, for all practical purposes, was a day late. Now they are negotiating with New South Wales to do it in one day lees time. The Pacific Steam Navigation Co. are behind the times. Comparing it with the service performed by Donald Ourrie's, and the Union steamship lines from Ply mouth to the Cape (C,OOO miles), they are very much in arrear. The Cape service, including stoppage at Maderia, has any time during the last five years been done in 18 days. The 'Frisco service, for a distance 50 mileß shorter, has 22 days, and gener ally occupies the whole time. The service, as a whole, might be greatly improved. I agree with a remark made by Mr Nathan at the Chamber of Commerce meeting, that the day of the departure is nn unfortunate one. No one of the regular lino of kI-earners leav* on a Thursday, and therefore they some somewhat haphazard. I would suggest that tho date of making up ihe mail ia London bo altered to Suturdny, that advan tage might always bo token of the Cunar.l steamers leaving on that day. After very careful watching of tho Atlantic service for the last thirty years, I have come to the conclusionthattakenfor safety, speed, and punctuality, they are incomparably the best »tenmers in tho trade. Their Saturday service is always performed by the best and latest-built steamers, and with the regu larity of clockwork they put in their ap pearance in New York on the Monday but one following. Looking at what is now done by other companies, wo ought to have had any time during the last five years a 32 dayß service made up thus, taking Saturday as the Ist of a month : —London, Saturday (1st); New York, Monday (10th), 9 dayß ; San Francisco, Saturd.-.y (15th), 5 [dayg; Auckland, Wednesday (2nd), 18 'dayi; total, 32. Had this been dono, the San Francisco service would have been placed in an impregnable position, and we should the rather now have been occupied with the consideration of trying to make the service fortnicrhtly instead of monthly, instead of having to defend and fight for it.—l am, &c, J.M.— September 2(j.
