Tb3 Austrian corvotto Saido anivoi from i Sydney this morning. Particulars of her voiO.;e and also of an interview vl h her commander appear in our shipping column. Mr R. A, Milligan Hogg, who was wel known in musical and local circles in Auck lnnd. has removed to Christchurch, where ins well, known penchant has assorted itself. He has already takon tho position of a load ing soloist in Cliristchurch musical society, as will bo seen from the following oxtract from the "Tolegraph" of 25th ultimo :—ln Mendelssohn's " Lauda Sion," jv'iich was performed first, Miss Spens lay and Mra C. M. Gray wore soprano and contralto eoloists, Mr J. Puschell was tenor, and Mr Hogg bass. The first three of these porlormers aro alroady favourite? with Christchurch audiences, and of Mr Hogg we vonturo to prodict that ho will s:on hold a similar position. He is tho for tunate possessor of a powerful baea, fairly llexible, and very woll trained, and all his loads last night were taken without the slightest hesitation. From intolligenco received by last mail, it would appear that an Anglican bishop is about to be appointed to the Fiji Islands, If this purpose is carried out, a blunder will bo committed similar to that which was committed in Madagascar some years ago. Thero are juat throe Episcopalians in the islands, while the Wealoyans have twelve hundred. The native population, more over, is Methodist to a man, having been rescued by tho Wesleyan missionaries from tho most degrading heathenism. The ex cuse offered for this Episcopal aggression is that a wealthy man is ready to give £10,000 as a nucleus for an endowment fund for Fiji. The Governor of that colony (Sir W. Dcs Vojux) actively disapproves of such appointment. Tho May number of tho "Biblo Stan dard" includes sevoral articles of special interest, not only for its regular readers, but for thoso who desiro information upon such polemical subjects as Conditional Im mortality, Resurrection, tho Millennial Reign of Christ, and the Final Destruction of _vil, of which the "Standard" is the avowed advocate. Tho current issue con tains an article from the pen of Mr Aldridge on the "Apostles Croed," iii the form of a_ general review of creods, and eot ting forth what tho writer conceives to be the sum and substance of the whole matter, " Whosoever bolieveth that Jesus is the Christ, is begotten of God," tho grand sum total of which has been hidden from the minds of men by their creeds and traditions. The first part of tho "Career and End of Satan " will attract attention. Othor articles treat of " Baptism," " Feeble Saints," "How to Read tho Prophets,' "Tho Certainities of Scienco," Church news, etc. "The Question Corner" is a new foaturo of this brochure, and will add to its goneral value as a roligious monthly expositor.
