Mr M'lntosh then made a statement regarding the congregation of St laul s, Christchurch, and tie termination of the engagement with Mr Powell. He intro duced a deputation from the congregation, consisting of Messrs Tait, Henderson, and J. nderson, asking to have a call moderated in favour of a minister. Mr Andrew Duncan appeared to protest against the proposal and the application from a majority of the mem bers. Mr Anderson, at the Invitation of the Presbytery, addressed the Court and opposed the protest. Mr Fruser then moved that the Presbytery proceed to moderate in a call to a minister for St Paul’s Church, Christchurch This was seconded by Mr Kirton, and carried unanimously. Mr Fraser drew a tention to the fact that ten acres of land, destined for the Presbyterian Church at Pigeon Bay, had been in error conveyed to the trustees of the Church of England in this province. After the transaction of some further routine bnsi ness, the Presbytery adjourned until the 26th instant, when it will meet in St. Paul’s Lichfield street. '

Cricket. — A cricket match is shortly to be played between members of the Canter bury and Union Bowing Clubs. The Glassblowbrs.— ■The last entertain ment bv these accomplished artistes was given, last night to a perfect crush of patrons. Prizes were given to all on this particular occasion, and the large glass steam engine was taken to pieces to the great astonishment of the visitors. A most delicate and intri cate process, it was accomplished with perfect ease and wonderful celerity, making in itself a performance well worth seeing. Great interest was taken in the process, a crowded audience remaining until the lost. Thus terminates one of the most pleasant and in structive entertainments that has ever visited Christchurch. Owing to counter-attrac tions, Mr Woodrofte has not been so generally successful as he deserves, or as was the case during his former visit. In thus closing our reports of the nightly re unions, we must not forget the courtesy and readiness to promote both the comfort and amusement of their patrons which both Mr and Mrs Woodrofte have evinced. Mr Peach man, their agent, has also a claim in this respeet.
