The tr aching of the lectures will thus be amplified, and impressed on the memory by the classes; and the system of constant ex amination will test, from time to time, the progress made by the students.

The telegram from New Zealand announcing that fifty European families have been massacred chews how formidable the rising of the Maories has become, and how complete is the disorganisa thni of the colonial forces. The miserably small and equipped body of police which was raised as a substitute for the British regiments has been defeated and demoralised, and the country is left practically defenceless. The Maories have reoccupied many miles of colonial territory, have burned the homesteads and driven off the cattle of the settlers, and, emboldened by success; have atlength perpe trated a wholesale massacre. There can be no doubt as to whom the responsibility of these events must be attri buted. It is not the incapacity of Colonel M`Donnell, or any other officer, but the negligence of the Colonial Government, that has brought about these disasters. The authorities entered upon a policy of aggres sion without any means of upholding it. They con fiscated, says the Times, native territories in the plenitude of military superiority which the press nee of ten British regiments gave them, and then they dismissed the troops which had inspired them with confidence to exact such a penalty from the rebel tribes. They proposed to raise a force of 1,500 men, but in reality the number never ex ceeded 300. The rising will ultimately be put down ; the English so greatly outnumber the natives that a little organisation must speedily ensure the defeat of the Maoris. But this is poor satisfaction for the disasters which have already been suffered. but which might have been avoided. A letter from the Times correspondent says that Colones Whitmore has taken the chief command, and is vigorously reducing the demoralisation of the colonial troops. But this has to be effected by disbanding a considerable num ber; and filling up their places with raw recruits, who can be more readily disciplined ; and whilst this is being done the natives appear to have carte blanche. The general rising which was feared had not taken place at the date of this letter, but the Maori chief had been greatly reinforced. The natives divide themselves into several bodies, make raids wherever they please, burn houses, destroy crops, and carry off stock. They can be met only by a force which is trained to similar tactics, and this requires time. The colonists have little confidence is the Government. Their best course would be to organise themselves in small bodies, and put an end to the war by force of numbers. This. we are told, they are doing in some measure. The leaders of the Maories nave cone everyctung to excite a general rising, though happily without the success which was expected. They have even, says the Wellington Evening Post, forwarded to the inland tribes some potted meat made of the flesh of the soldiers who fell in the recent encounter. The object of this horrible and scarcely intelligiblepractice is to inflame the ferocity of the interior natives. The treacherous massacre of five French soldiers in New Caledonia completes the dismal intelligence from the Pacific The Times New Zealand correspondent notes that there has been much discussion lately, both in general and local synods, on the subject of Christian union, many of the clergy desiring to break down the exclusive barriers between themselves and the ministers of other denomina tions, which are so marked in the old country. Uniformity amongst the sections of the Protestant Church is not hoped for, but co-operation in all that pertains to their common work is both desirable and possible. Whilst the Synod was sitting at Auckland, a soirée in honour of a Wesleyan Church anniversary was attended by several dignitaries of the Church of England, including two colo nial bishops, an archdeacon, and a dean, who all addressed the meeting. The news from Spain is much more satisfactory. mite assurance from official sources that the interest both on the External and Internal Debt will be paid, proves that however great may be the financial difficulties of Senor Figuerola, he has triumphed in part over the legacy of embarrassment left him by Isabella. It is further stated that the leaders of the two great parties, the Monarchists and the Republicans, have agreed to seek the success of their policy, as is their right, without disturbing the peace of the country or interfering with the equitable decision of the elections. They have likewise determined to unite against any attempt of the reactionary party. ZSTRIA A monument to the memory of the ill-fated Maximilian is to be erected at Trieste.

During the d'scussion on the Address in the Roumania' Chamber, the new Foreign Minister made a declaration of some importance at the present time. He announced that the entire neutrality which was guaranteed and imposed by the Treaty of Paris would be part of the pro gramme of the new Ministry. "To live in peace with our neighbours, to direct our attention solely to home im provements, to reform our finances and our system of popular education, is the best policy for Roumania, both at present and in the future." The Minister added that Roumania would maintain its army for defensive purposes, but it would not permit its territory to be employed for the organisation of bands with the view of attacking the Ottoman possessions. This is satisfactory, so far as pro mises go. It is much to be regretted that the Greek states men have not been similarly enlightened as to the true policy of their country THE PROSPECTS OF HUNGARY. A recent letter from the Times corresponden iat Pesth is well calculated to afford satisfaction to all who take an • interest in the affairs of Hungary. To peruse the details of the Christmas merrymakings is a refreshing change from dwelling upon the sad chronicles of the disasters that have until lately befallen Hungary. The time has hap. pily gone by when all who discussed the state of that country were intent on the gravest thoughts, and divided their attention between the faults of the rulers and the misfortunes of the people. It is no exaggeration to say that the evil days of Hungary have passed away, for we have sure evidence that the people are now satisfied and well inclined to put confidence in the Em peror. If not perfectly satisfied with the particular details of their Government, they feel convinced that its general principles are sound and will assure to them independence of action in the time of trouble. In the present posture of affairs it is important to notice the great increase that has taken place in the number of voters. In consequence of this great interest is felt in the elections now at hand, and even the holiday season is entrenched upon to do justice to the political movement. The probable result of the affair will be to send forth a body of representatives who are temperate in their policy and not likely to come into collision with the authorities at Vienna. The Royal Speech has been well received at Pcsth, and also in the chief towns, where the irritation so long felt 'at the policy of the Court seems to have died away, and to have been succeeded by more genial and gracious sentiments. The Emperor has, in point of fact, been making his way slowly but surely for some years past, and of late his progress has become more rapid in conse quence of the significant character of public events. There is little likelihood of the policy of Hungary assuming a form which will materially concern foreigners. So much has already been done in the consolidation of liberty and the concessions in favour of self-government, that little more can be expected in the way of important reforms. If the Magyars can be induced to coalesce with the other aces, all fears that want of unity will exist may be aban doned. Austria has a hopeful future before her, and we can scarcely believe that she will desire to exchange the advantageous position she now holds for the chances of war. A peaceful policy will be by far the wisest one for the Empire, and will afford the best security for the pro- gress of the people. COURSE OF EXCHANGE—Last Evening.
