4jj_ TEWaRAPU.— PBFSB ASSOCIATION.)

Cnr.i.sTcuußCH, this day* ten o'clock last night a most care fully planned attempt at arson was _UcOvered in a three-roomed cottafit _t Asnbourne, belonging to a cab _..„ named Kichnr, Uawkor. A „!_ named Harper passing tho house nticed a light shining beneath the front sor while all tho rost of the house was in _irkoeSß. Thinking this singular, he ki.kod in under the door and saw a __ndle burning on the floor in the midst of a heap of paper, lie at once nomnwnicated with the police, who broke li They found that the paper in which the iindlewas placed was saturated with kcro _ie and that in tho kitchon a second candle had boen placed in a similar minner in a heap of paper. An old : ooit had been hung on a chair to pre vent the light from tho Rocond candle being visible from tho outside ; tho chinks in the door wero stopped with ilannol, and the fanlight was also darkoned. The* ,c indies were of the kind used in cab-lamps, and one of thorn had burnod nearly down to tho paper whwi tho constable broke into (ho house. Hawkor was afterwards arrested. Tho houso wa.s insured for JEIQ'. in the L^ion and Lancashire Office.

Welmmitox, this day,

It is understood that Government ore having a revision made of tho officers of the militia, and that this step is taken with a view of ascertaining which olticors wish io retain their commission;), It is bolievcd that a firm in town it* charging, on behalf of tho Government, a number of oil drums with dynamite, M'hich are to be sunk ot tho entranco to ports, and exploded by oloctricity from shore should thero be any attack by hostile flruiMW.

Late this afternoon a man named Camp boll was recoivod at tho Hospital. Ho had his leg broken at Cambridge. Wo are no, yet acquainted with particulars of tht accident. Mrs Hondry Somorvel recently raadt; a donation of -1,000 to tho Presbyterian Church of this colony, tho condition being that it should boinvosted, and the proceeds* idav«ced to the establishment of scholar ships for the enoouragement of young men to study for the church. Competitive art 'jmd theological scholarships of -30 each, tenable for three years, wero provided for. These have now been competed foi and the theological scholarship wat •»oh by Master _.. M. Ryburn. The Examining Board decided that he should go to Otago for his theological course, but he is already tho holder of a scholarship hero, j whloh precludes his compliance with the conditions. He has, therefore, written his I ,esire to finish his two years at the Auck land University course, and expressing hi?. '^BBngness to proceed with his theological. /studiesas provided for in the scholarship Conditions at the same timo, taking up the thwlogical course after the prosent one is 1 cotnploted. The matter was beforo the PreAytery to day, when it was decided thai! the Examining Board be recommended to permit this con cession.
