ST. DAVID'S LITERARY AND DEBATING SOCIETY.

A host amusing and instructive inaugural I lecture, entitled " When I was a boy; or the changes of a gonoration," was pi yon last aigltt in St. David's Presbyterian Church bytheKov, T. Mackenzie Fraser, M.A., in connection with the fount; Men's Literary and Debating Society recently eßtab - liabed. The choir of the church gave several sacred and secular choruses, which ■ g&voa piquancy to the entertainment. Wo itvenot space even for an outline of this txcollent discourse, which comprised a series of pictures of the social, educational, political, and religious changes during a period within Mr Fraror's personal recollec tion, Among these eketches were the fish woman of Cromarty, and the old pre * center, both life liko and character istic of old time. The comic imita tions of gesture and voice of the laat mentioDod once important personage were tatnmely amusing, and set the audience "in a roar." The lecturer's Journey to London when a boy, and his admission, at ' Hren years of age, to the famous Bluocoat School, Newgate-street, his journey from Inverness to Dundee, and from Dundee in • passage smack to London, occupying 16 MM was strikingly contrasted with the ttailabla means of travelling to-day. He Wlin the great storm so vividly described .tyDickens in " David Copperfield." Loco motion, he considered, was one of the great features of the century, and he would venture to affirm that locomotion had tweeted more in half-S-centur? than \Wy other agency had effected since •tta creation of man. The clergyman of wldemith's "Sweet Auburn" was no .notion fifty years aero, for many a parson ■xv "passing rich with forty pounds a .JMT." He gave interesting quotations ■note the rate of wages, prices of provisions, *w rents of lands in England and Scotland of those days, when the wages of peasants ..»!« good gardeners were Is per diem, eggs cmaidered dear at4d per dozen, and Is was . JsenMd too much by 3d for a really fine »! goose. But these things had been : changed for the better, because the produce ;Bo longer gluts one place, but is distri | bated all over the country by means of locomotion, which has a tendency to equalise ;?.«• cost of living. The lecturer wont on :;W,show the numerous advantages we P»>ms ove"r our fathers by means «; cheap postage, telography, news ;W»ra, oheap literature, Sunday-schools, a : J™er style of preaching, and a score of "mm discoveries and inventions, sanitary, Mechanical, and social. The lecturer's re ..: elections of the Blue-coat School were .. *« more pleasant than those of ColoridßQ «M Charles Lamb, and which confirmed in ; ««mindtho Baying of Dr. Guthrio "that great Bchools are vicious." Mr Fraser gave 1 ':£, nailllte description of hia years at the "JJWoat School, the drosß, the country TlVww miserable food, the sky blue, and ?j? swipes," as the stomach-aching small . iwer was anpropriately termed ; in fact, ™?y were fed almost like paupers, which J?W><>ed the boy's appetite bo keenly ;wth9 could eat anything short of aten -1 iS!!? 1??'

Tnu forty-reventh half-yoavly meeting of the above banking institution was held at noon to-day in tho bead offic*. yueen street, Dr. Campbell (Chairman d Directors) presiding. Mr D. L.

Rkskrvk Fund. -To balance, £025; by balanco from laat halfyoar, £q25,000. The Chairman said:—ln rising to move the adoption of the report and balanco sheot which have just been read, I will, as usual, shortly comment on tho figures con tainod in them, and on the general condi tion of business since we last mot. Looking to the debtor or liability side of tho balance shoot, and contrasting tho figures with tho previous half-yoar'a statement, tho capital and roscrvo fund remain as before. The circulation shows a slight expansion, but so slight as scarcely to bo noteworthy. Tho bills payablo oxhibit an increase of over £400,000, consequent on the more active exchange business pertain ing to this season of the year. The deposits and other liabilities are increased by over £250,000, and the balance of profit and loss is greater by £4,000. On the credit or assets side, the available resources of the Bank, which comprise coin and cash balances at branches, money at short call in London, bullion, Government securities, and bills receivable, &c, in London are greater by over £300,000. Bills discounted, and other debts due to the Bank, are in creased by £400,000, and landed property, Bank premises, &c, are also increased by £11,000. This last account will probably in next balance-sheet exhibit ;i larger in crease, as we have acquired the freehold pre mises in Sydney recently occupied by the Oriental Bank, a purchase necessitated by the too limited space in our ownpremisesandthe rapidly-growing businoss of the Bank in that city. It is, however, anticipated that by sale of our present freehold and a portion of that acquired from tho Oriental Bank, and not required for our own purposes, no largo addition will ultimately result to Bank Pre mises Account from this purchase. We have also obtained in Melbourne the lease hold premises recently occupied by the Oriental Bank, in the moat commanding site in Collina street, but this, though contribut ing largely to the prominence of the Bank, and to its capacity for doing an increasing business, willnotinvolveacharge toPremises Account When we last mot I expressed some confidence that there would be an early and marked improvement in general business, and though this has in some measure been verifiod, there have boon adverse compensating influences which have, in great measure, nullified the im provement. Bountiful crops have bon partially damaged by weather, and prices have continued to rule very low. Increased Bhiprnonts of wool and frozen mutton have also been subject to the present long existing wave of low prices which ap pears to affect every industry; but though at the moment it is difficult to see From what source improvement is to arise, it would be against all past experi ence to believe that products can long re main saleable only at little over the cost of production, and I can but express a hope that it will not be long before you are con gratulated from this chair on a marked change in the beneficial results of business. The colony meantime continues to make steady progress in public works and in settlement on land, and is evidently attract ing increasing attention of English capital ists as a desirable field for investment. With these remarks, I beg to move the adoption of the report and balance-sheet. ' SirF. WinrAKER seconded the motion. In doing so ho aaid that ho thought that the shareholders were to bo congratulated upon the result of tho half-year's opera tions. They could hardly feel otherwise than satisfied with the report and balance sheet which bad been presented them. They were very satisfactory, indeed, under the circumstances, for they all knew that trade throughout the world was in a disorganised, abnormal and unsatisfactory state. The products of the colony,too, had not been commanding prices that were remunerative to the producers. When they looked around and saw all this, when they per ceived also, that wool and other products were not fetching good prices, and when they remembered that the frozen meat in dustry had not come up to expectations, they must be satisfied that banking, like everything else, must have suffered. Still, he could congratulate them upon the fact that they held their own and that, as regards the banking business of the colony, they stood higher now than at any previous time. They could hardly hope to progress much further in that direction, but he hoped that they would retain the position they had gained. When they looked around and saw that the colony was pro gressing, bo far as manufactures were concerned, and that industries were springing up in every direction, there waa a reasonable hope that they would occupy a better position ere long than even they had now._ The year that had just been passed through had been one of very_ considerable depression, and that depression must sooner pr later pass away. Such times of depression hap pened periodically throughout the world, and wero always followed by a revival. It would bo so in this case. It was difficult, howovor, to say whence it would come, but that it would assuredly come they knew by oxperienco. He thought that under ordi nary circumstances they might fairly ex pect an improvement to take place during tho next half-year. They must always remember, however, that we had now a difficult set of circumstances to deal with ; and looking at the telegrams of this morn ing as to the position of affairs, it ap peared to him that we were on the evo of a great war. The trouble might be got over without war, and he trusted that it would ; but, under tho circumstances, war seemed inevitable. What might be the re sult to banking or to trade it was difficult to say. True, prices would rise, and our products, to a certain extent, would be more valuable; but, on the other hand, there was a great risk to be run through the disorganisation of the trade of the world, while at the conclusion of a war there must be a reaction, ending in a great depression, which must have serious results. The Bank, however, had large resources, a strong position, and looking attbeir position he thought that they would be able to take advantage of any opportunity that offered for increasing their bubiness. As a bank they bad every reason for confidence concerning the future. The motion was then put and carried. The Hon. P. Dionan, M.L.C., proposed a vote of thanks to the directors and officers of the Bank for the able way in which they had carried on its operations. Mr J. M. McLachlan seconded. In allusion to the death of Mr a J. Stone, to expressed doubt at the possibility of find ng men of equal ability to fall tto places.of the old directors. , ~./-.„,.„ The vote having been gassed, the Chair man, on behalf of himeeff and his co-direc tors, acknowledged the compliment. MiD. L. Mukdooh returned thanks on shweanyof Mr McLachlan's apprehension

as to finding any difficulty in satisfactorily j filling up |any vacancies that might Occur in the directorate. The Bcrott minutes worn then read and tho meeting ended.

THE ELECTRIC CIRCUS.

This talented combination gave tho open ing performance of the reason last evening in tho spacioitß m&rquee which has boen erected On the railway reclaimed land. The weather was anything but favourable for the occasion, but notwithstanding thip fact,^ th&ra Was a very largo assemblage within the tent, tho performance was a capital one, and had the • effect of still further increasing the popularity in which the Company is held in Auckland. The present is not by any means the tint visit of Woody ear's Circus to our city, and extraordinary success has invariably at tended its performances here. Unlike other circuses, it does not return to us in n weakened condition, and the present visit ie no exception to this commendable rule. Tho enterprise which has hitherto dis tinguished Mr Woodyear in catering for the pleasure of that section of the public which delights ih the wonders of the sawdust- Covered arena has again been displayed to an appreciable extent. Since tho departure of tho Circus a year ago, new talent has been added wherever possible, fresh novelties have been studied and introduced, and at tractive additions have been made to the i stud of horses and ponies. A side show, too, has become attached to the parent pavilion. Under these circumstances, it is only natural that there should have been a noticeable improvement in lost night's per formance as compared with those of previous seasons. The programme was a thoroughly good one, and met with due appreciatioh at the hands of tho audionce. The eight-horse entree, with which the evening's amusement commenced, intro* j duced some beautiful animals, all of which were in the pink of condition. Cuzeo and Rinkle amused the audionce with their magic net act, and \Vere followed by Jack Cousins, who still continues to improve, in his principal act of horsemanship. Some wonderful feats on tho balance trapeze, including a descent of a most sensational character, were cleverly accomplished by AnnioShiels, while BungarooandKitche per formed Borne remarkable balancing feats in what was described on tho programmeas the screen scene, and tho trick pony Sultan kept the audience in a state of mingled amuse ment and wonder for tho next fifteen minutes. Professor Taylor, who is ono of the recent additions to the Company, ac quitted himself with great credit in his ox traordinary juggling feats on a running globe. Albert King was highly successful in histwehorso hurdle act, and some capital tumbling by the male, strength of tho Com pany brought the first part of the pro gramme to a close. The socond part opened with the clever equestrian act in which Mr Talbot Shiels impersonates the shipwrecked Bailor. Ruby Scarsdale, another of tho I recent additions to the Company, followed in a flying trapeze performance of a meri torious character, and was enthusiastically cheered for her exploits. The remainder of the programme consisted of a carrying act by Cousins and Francis, decanter balanc ing by G. Warnbold, and feats of balancing on a swinging bamboo, suspended from tho roof of the tent, by Cooma Kitche. A pantomime entitled " Philaberta's Lovers " brought tho performance to a close, and sent the audience homo in a state of complete satisfaction. The feats of strength, skill, and agility were pleasantly diversified by tho quipa and jokoa of the clowns, Kinklo and Cuzco, whose success was attested by the loud and prolonged laughter that frequently echoed through the tent. Professor Taylor efficiently discharged the duties of ring master. The programme was a thoroughly varied one, and it is creditable to tho management that while none of tho'acts wore unnecessarily prolonged, the resources of the Company were sufficiently great to render the re-appearance ef any of the por formors unnecessary. The same pro gramme will be repeated this evening, but frequent changes will be made during tho season. A matinee is announced for Satur day.
