THE CLIMATE oe SOUTH BRI I AIN. —The climate of New
Zealand is essentially a good climate, and has not so mach
been over praised as badly praised. More frost, less wind
and rain, would make it perfection; but, as it is, all this
msy be truly said of it—that it is a climate favourable alike
to the preservation of robust health and the improvement
of weak health; a climate most congenial to all pastoral
and agricultural punuits ; wee in which every English
domestic animal thrives and fattens; and in which every
English grain, grass, fruit, and flower attains full develop-
ment and perfection. —Hurstkouses :trew Zealand.
HOSPITAL FOR DISABLED MERCHANT SEAMEN.—An
influential meeting was held yesterday, in the Egyptian-
hall, at which the Lord Mayor pesided, to promote the
formation of a hospital, for aged and disabled master
mariners and seamen of the mercantile nvirine. Many
naval cfficers of high rank were present. The following
was the principal resolution :—" That a building be raised
on the Banks of the Thames, within the port of London, to
be called (with her Majesty's permission) ' The Royal
Hospital for Wornout and Disabled Merchant Seamen'
That the said building be prepared for the reception of 500
persons selected from the different grades of the mercantile
marine, and that it be commer•ced as soon as there is a fair
prospect of £50,000 being subscribed, and that a plan of
out•pcnsions be grafted on the institution."
MAINE-LAW DEMONSTRATION AT CA RNARVON. The
annual gathering of the North Wales supporters of the
Maine-law movement was held on Thursday, in the yard
of Garnarven Castle. There were special trains to Car-
narvon, on the occasion, from several plac:;3, including
Manchester, Warrington, Chester, and Liverpool. Mr.
Alderman Harvey, Mr. Samuel Pope, honorary secretary
to the Alliance for the Suppression of the Liquor Traffic,
with other supporters of the movement in this locality,
proceeded by the Manchester train, which reached Car•
narvon at half-past eieven o'clock in the forenoon.
Although the early part of the day was showe!y, the
afternoon was exceedingly fine. There were three meetings
held in the spacious yard of the interesting old castle.
The platform was fixed in the lower part of the slope,
near the Eagle Tower, that in which it is said Edward 11.
first drew his breath. It appeared to be almost a general
holiday in Carnarvon, many of the inhabitants being mem-
ters of the Temperance Ssciety. When the large
audience was assembled, it presented a very picturesque
appearance. B. sides those on the grassy floor, there were
numerous groups of listeners peering from all points of the
hsllow walls and vast towers of the castle. The great
thickness of the side walls uniting the towers afforded
sitting room along the top (upon forms) for lengthy rows
of people, as if in a gallery ; others stationed themselves
in the loopholes of the towers; and not a few ladies might
be seen looking down from the very tops of the lofty
turrets which =mount the towers, and from which they
dislodged the customary occupants, the jackdaws, which
flew about, with apparent anxiety for the close of the pro-
ceedings. The first meeting c enmenced at ten o'clock in
the forenoon, and was presided over by Mr. Philips, of
Bangor. The audience was then addressed by the Rev.
Owen Jones, of Manchester, in Welsh; and the Hon,
Neal Dow. At the afternoon meeting, the Rev. Thomas
Thomas, the vicar of the parish of Llanbabli.s, Carnarvon,
occupied the chair ; and the sp.akers were the Rev
Canon Jenkins, of Llandaff ; and Mr. Samuel Pope, of
Manchester. Mr. Alderman Harvey presided iu the
evening, and the Hon. Neal Dow again spoke at some
length. There was a strong cho4 of male and female
singers from several congregations, and they added much
to the pleasure of the proceedings by their vocal effirts.

'tux CALIFORNIAN Ps N.—The everlasting question rf "Is this
good pen" has been answered by Mr. E. T. Hall, of South John
street, who has succeeded in producing a metallic pen, which he
designates, not inaptly, as above. There is hardly anything more
annoying than a bad pen—everyone knows the misery. The pen
made by Mr. Hall, Is fit for any hand to use (light or heavy), and
what is of the greatest value, it does not corrode, but will work with
equal facility in any ink. From experience of metallic pens, we can
say that this one, which is polished as gold, and will last nearly as
long, is the best:one we have ever used,—Northern Times. One
box, , containing six dozen pens, sent free on receipt of 2s 6d In
