The Plunket Medal.

Our embryonic orators will be giving the public the benefit of their laborious researches next Saturday, and, from the list of subjects, the evening should provide a complete survey of world history from Pericles to the present day. Interest will centre on Kingi Tahiwi's management—and perhaps solution—of Henry VIII's matrimonial difficulties: on Bonk Scotney's solo (doloroso, can expressione) on John Brown; and on McGhie's Scottish stories of Robert Burns—and they say he led a very wicked life.
