"That a committee be formed to consider the question

Mr. C. Simmonds seconded the resolution. Mr. W. B. Allen took

in support of the resolution and pointed out on a map the

boundaries of the two districts of Waverley and

Randwick. He called attention to these boundaries

so that, whenever a committee was formed to consider

the question of a united municipality, the boundaries of Waverley

should be properly known and made distinct from those of Randwick.

Mr. Pearce followed, more particularly calling attention to

certain boundaries which previously described by Mr Allen S

as those of Waverley, he claimed as those of Randwick, contend- ing

that Waverley, as a district, had no boundaries whatever, and I

had never been recognised in the Government maps as a separate 3

the only reason that prevented the Randwick people from seeking J.

jealousy or hostility tji.iwut.ii them. After a few remarks from I !

Mr. Hebblewhite, the motion was put, and declared to be

The LIND LEAGUES general meeting of the members of the I Y

Land League was held, last evening, at the rooms of the society, 1 *

JuvcnileTemperancoHall,Francis-street,Woolloomoo!o. Thirteen

persons were in attendance. A lengthy discussion ensued as to

whether the League should adopt a ingfidd'« evidence, from before

the Land Committee of Victoria, in its entirety. No motion

was adopted on the subject. It was then agreed that meetings

should be held in the suburbs of Sydney, the first to be held at

Balmain on Monday, the 10th January next,

SYDNEY VOCAL HARMONIC SOCIETY.-The committee to which

was delegated the duty of drawing up rules for the management of

the abovenamed Society have called a meeting of all interested in

its formation, which will be held at the schoolroom in Castlereagh

street, at 8 o'clock, this evening, Since we last drew attention to

the importance of this subject, a mail has arrived from England

and among the items of news it contained were the details of three

magnificent musical festivals held these , the first in the compara-

tively small town of Hereford, the next In the magnificent town

hall of Birmingham (when £7000 was realized for the benefit of

the local hospital), and the last in the new and gorgeous town-hall

of Leeds, which was recently the scene of the Queen of England's

triumphant reception. At this last festival upwards of £1000 was

realized for public charity. contemporaneously with this, we read

in the Melbourne papers that on Christmas Eve (next Friday even-

ing), there is to be a grand public performance of Handel's Oratorio

of The Messiah a musical treat worth while going to Melbourne

to enjoy. Alas that it should be necessary. Sydney has all the

materials for the production of such a work of art in full efficiency,

but at present there is no organisation to bring it into operation.

This, in effect, is the object of the meeting this evening

at the Infant Schoolroom, and we trust that there

will be such a numerous attendance that the enthusiasts

promoters shall take courage, and enter on the coming year with

certain prospect of success. It is commonly said that we have no

ball suitable for musical purposes, but the truth is that Sydney at

present possesses the finest Gothic hall in the Southern hemi-

sphere-we allude to the large hall of the University. This is so

nearly arrived at completion that it will be ready for opening In a

few months. Would it be too much to hope for that some three

or four hundred voices could be collected together by that time to

baptise it with a flood of divine harmony We are sure that the

Senate and the worthy Principal of the University would gladly

hail such an inauguration of a temple devoted to the " Advance-

ment of religion and morality, and the promotion or science and

the arts." It has been represented to us that an impression prevails

in certain circles that the proposed vocal harmonic society is

antagonistic to the Philharmonic Society. We are happy to be

able to refute this error. The path of each appears to be quite

distinct. The Philharmonic Society has addressed itself witta Deal

and energy to the improvement of instrumental music

in Sydney, and those who can recollect what

a small and discordant band was first collected

under its auspices, and will compare the really efficient orchestra

it may boast now, will acknowledge that the Philharmonic Society

has done good service in musical matters. The very popular concerts

that are given by this Society, prove too that it does not lack

support. But the other great branch of music, choral singing, has

been strangely neglected here, and it is to encourage this that a

new society is formed. It is believed that cash society will materially

assist the other, and while on the one hand, the concerts of

the Philharmonic Society may be varied by the introduction of

classical choruses, the oratorios and vocal concerts of the Vocal

Harmonic Society may be enriched by the instrumental accompaniments

composed by Mozart for the Messiah, or by Handel to

the Acts and Galatea. The rules of the society are duly advertised

in our paper of yesterday, and appear of a sufficiently liberal character.

An opportunity is now afforded to establish what must be

a highly popular means of recreation here, and we trust it will be

seized, for, if the present attempt should fail, years may pass

before another is made, and Sydney will continue to be surpassed

in refinement and taste, by its vigorous and ambitious offspring.

MR. G. H. ROORRS.-This clever comedian announces his fare-

well benefit for this evening. The fine play of "Old Heads and

Young Hearts " will form part of the dramatic programme arranged

for the amusement of his friends and patrons. A full

attendance will be some acknowledgment of the merits of one of

the finest delineators of eccentric comedy now on the English

A LUNAR RAINBOW -On Sunday night, at about 9 o'clock, the

rare and beautiful phenomenon of a lunar rainbow was observed

at Newtown, by a gentleman who describes it as being distinct and

even brilliant remaining in sight for full five minutes. It so

geared, of course, in the southern portion of the sky, and the

highest portion of the arch seemed to be elevated at an angle of

something less than 30 degrees from the horizon. So bright were

its colours that their reflection caused a second, or outer bow to

be obviously, but of course far less distinctly visible

ACCIDENT.-Yesterday afternoon, one of the Invincible omnibuses,

on turning from Wynyard-square Into George-street, came

in contact with a spring cart proceeding down George-street

The shaft of the cart struck the leading horse in the chest

piercing in some distance, causing the poor animal to bleed most

fearfully-when, after struggling violently for a few minutes, It

died, it appears no blame can be attached to either party, the

driver of the cart or the bus.

THE Band of the 12th Regiment will perform a selection of

music this afternoon, at 4 o'clock, in the Botanic Gardens. Programme

Overture, La Cenerentola, Rossini ; selection, II

Trovatore, Verdi; Waltz, Maud, Laurent; selection, Der

DISTRESSED SEAMEN'S RELIEF FUND A meeting of Names

called last evening at the White Swan Inn, for the purpose of advocating

the proposed institution of a Mariners' Relief Fund in the

port and city of Sydney called by advertisement in the Saint,

Morning /frrafii-took place last evening. Owing to no boar

having been named in the advertisement, and due publication not

having been given, the meeting was very thinly attended. The

objects were stated by the chairman to be the relief of seamen distressed

by sickness or wreck; and the secretary stated that pro-

mises of support had been held out by many influential merchants

if the seamen would only help themselves. The meeting adjourned

BATHURST RACES-The subscription lists towards the funds for

the approaching Race Meeting, to be held in Much Mit, art

filling rapidly, upwards of £300 having already been collected.

ACCIDENTS FROM THE LIGHTNING The lightning which, on

Friday, was fearfully frequent and accompanied by heavy peals of

thunder, has done some damage in the neighbourhood. A stack

of hay belonging to a farmer upon the Mount Pleasant Estate was

struck by the electric fluid and set on fire, the whole being consumed

in a short space of time. The gable of a house upon the

Flat near the Brewery was also struck and tumbled to the ground.

We are happy to say, however, that so far as we have had an

opportunity of learning, there has been so injury to life or Uah i
