Wo tfmJorstahd t&at at the next meeting of the Senate of the Now Zealand Uni versity,, to be *iold in Auckland this week, on application will be made which, if granted, will involva an alteration In the regulation as to the honours examinations. As tho regulation stands nt present, a candidate must present himself at the honours oxaminatiou 12 months after ho has passed tho final B.A. examlna* tion. But a candidnto may defer his final B.A. examination for any number of years, and in the ond bo ontitluil lo present himself at the bauoura examination. Nay, ho may fafl any number of times in his final B.A. examina tion, and if successful in the end, be entitled to go up to the honours oxamlnnj tion thus eocuring by Mb failures novera), additional years to proparo for it. It is only the candidate who doos not dofer his final B.A. examination, and who is nuccossful at tho same, who 13 handicapped with regard to time. Wo think that in common justice such a candidate should bo afTordod tho same facilities as to time for preparing for his Honours examination as if he had deferred his B.A. examination, or had not been suc cessful at it This in a matter which afTeotn teachers more direotly than any other class, as tho Educational Department grant tho highest certificate only to thoeo who bare acquired first or second clnst honours. Thoro is only one chance afforded of win ning these honours, and if it ii not prodted by tho opportunity of attain ing tho highest grade of teachers ia gono for ever. Consequently it will bo seen how nocoicury it is that the conditions under which tho competition for honours takes (lace should be bo framed as to fjre overy encouragement to patient and honest merit while frustrating mere finesse and stratagem. Tho manager cf the South Pa-jiflo Petro leum Company reports that up to noon on Wednosday last tho present bore was down 46K feet, with most satisfactory indications, and he was in hopes of having really good news for tho shareholders before long. In the course of an interview yostorday with- tho Hon. the Colonial Treasurer, Mr Joseph Banks, managing director of tho Frozen Meat Company, undertook to ex periment with tho tinning of several varie-. tio» of fish with tho object of ascertain ' , which is tiro most suitable for export and consumption. Mr Loggo waited upon Sir Julius with respect to his patent artificial building Btone, and re ceivod a promiso that its suitability for general purposes should be inquired into. Sir Partridge, of the firm of Partridge and Woollams, roprosontod the inequality ot tho laws rolating to the manufacture of tobacco and thoir injurious operation, and wa3 aesured that the matter should receive consideration. Dr. Hector also bad an intorview with Sir Julius VogeJ-, in regard to tho approaching Colonial Exhibition at Wellington.

The usual monthly meeting of the Gospel Temperance Mission was held jos terday in tho Temperance Ball, Rer. S. Macfarlano presiding, when tho minutes of provious moetings were road and con firmed. Tho unanimous thanks of the Committee were aecordod to Mrs and Dr. A. O. Knight for their kiudneu in entertainidg, as their guust, Mr Booth, during his visit; a'so to tho lady nnd gsntlemon workors, with tho choir, for their vory valuable services. It b tho in tention of the committee shortly, to invite the members of tho choir and vct'kers to a social tea and meeting, not only for tho purpose of showing thoir appreciation of tfie service they have rondered, but to devise plans whereby the good resulting from tha Mission may bo fostered and supplomontod in the future. It was also decidod to publish the balance sheot of Mr Booth's miasion with the ordi nnry balance-she3t next month, whioh will close tho finuncial year.

A gentleman travelling by tho 4.45 train to Helensvillo on Saturday afternoon, bo tweon Swanson and Waitakerei, in at templiog to close the dour of the carriage, waa by porno unaccountable resistance thrown out and on to the platform and thenco to tho permanent way, causing no ordinary amount of oxcitemont to his fellow travellers, who for some time wore unablo to communicate with the driver of tho train. Thin having boon accomplished, tho train was quickly reversed, and, to the surprise of all, on arriving near the spot,tho gentleman was found walking toward the train as composedly as though nothing had occurred, not having suffered a bruise or scratch to remind him of his fearful mis adventure. In this drink had no park in tho matter, as the gontloman was perfectly eobor, and wan as equally eurprisod and grateful for his marvellous escape from personal injury.

Sergeant Pratt made an application at tho Police Court to-day on behalf of Ellon Jackson, of Karaka-street, Newton, for an order for the admission of Elizabeth Jackson into St. Mary's School, the girl being entirely beyond the control of her parents. Mrs Jackson said her girl was of an erratic turn of mind; sometimes she would stay at home and work, then she would start away from home, sleeping out for nights, and return home in rags ; she was in the habit of docoying young child ren into the cometery nnd beating them ; tho girl had been charged with stealing apples. She was altogether a strange child. His Worship granted tho application ; the child to be trained in the faith of the Roman Catholic Church,

Mr Beckx, the Belgian Consul-General, and his daughter, are at present on a visit to the Hot Lakes.

Wo have beon shown some really choice specimens of artistic fancy work, embracing amongstnumberleee articles, de signs in seed work and metalican lustre painting, the latter being one of the latest novelties for drapes and brackets, the com bination of colours being the most aesthetic, and tho designs generally very effective. Miss O'Hanlon hae only lately started in business in this branch of work, and cer tainly a visit to her offico in Queen-street will more than repay any of our lady readers wishing to pain experience in the art. Wo most certainly have every con fidence in recommending her to those in search of a competent teacher in the class of work referred to,
