ticular departments only, named by him at the time of
giving the notice required by regulation 2, will not receive an
offer of appointment to any department that he has not so
named ; and that girls will receive offers of appointment only
to such vacancies as are suitable for girls. A candidate
declining an offer made to him under this regulation will

7. For the Senior Examination every candidate must give
notice in a form prescribed by the Minister of Education,
and such notice must be sent so as to reach the office of the
Minister not later than the thirty-first day of October next
before the examination, and must be accompanied by a
receipt for the payment of one guinea to the Public Account
at some branch of the bank at which the Public Account is
kept.
8. At every Senior Examination every candidate will be
required to pass in the three following compulsory subjects :

English language and literature ; 2. Arithmetic (including
problems of a more difficult kind than those set for the
Junior Examination), or algebra (to simple equations inclu-
sive) ; 3. Any one of the following languages: (a) Latin,
(b) Greek, (c) French, (d) German, (e) Italian, (f) Maori.
Every candidate must also pass in three other subjects, which
will be called optional subjects, and which are defined in
regulation 9. Of the optional subjects, candidates in the
service of the Survey Department must take Euclid and
trigonometry, and candidates in the service of the Native
Department must take Maori.
The optional subjects for the Senior Examination, of
which subjects every candidate must choose three, and may
not choose more than three, will be as follows: 1. Euclid
(Books I. to IV.) ; 2. Trigonometry (to solution of plane
triangles) ; 3. English history, from 1688 to 1837 ; 4. Ele-
mentary mechanics ; 5. Elementary physics ; 6. Elementary
chemistry ; 7. Elementary biology ; 8. Latin ; 9. Greek ;
French ; 11. German ; 12. Italian ; 13. Maori ; 14.
Shorthand. No candidate will be allowed to select as an
optional subject from this list the same language as he selects
for his fourth compulsory subject.
For the Senior Examination special papers will be set
in English language and literature, arithmetic and algebra,
Euclid and trigonometry ; the paper in English history will
be more difficult than the paper set in the same subject for
the Junior Examination ; and in shorthand eighty words a
minute (reporting style) will be required. In other subjects
the papers will be those set for the Junior Examination,
but higher marks will be required for a pass. The exami-
nation in English will include abstract- and précis-writing,
composition and correspondence, and a period of literature
and special books to be read will be chosen from time to time
and duly announced.
NOTE.—For the examination of January, 1888, the period
will be the age of Queen Anne, and the books—Shakespeare’s
Henry IV. and Henry V., and Lamb’s Essays of Elia.
As soon as possible after the Senior Examination has
been held, the Minister of Education will publish a list of
the successful candidates, and in the list those that have
passed with distinction will be named in the order of their
merit, that is to say, in the order of the marks assigned to
them, and the rest in alphabetical order.

WHEREAS it is enacted by “The Shipping and Sea-

in Council, fix the various rates of lighthouse dues, not ex-
ceeding those specified in the Eighth Schedule to the said
Act, which shall be payable at any port or ports within the
colony in respect of all ships arriving at, and of all ships
leaving, such ports, and in like manner from time to time to
vary, alter, or abolish such dues : And whereas it is advis-
able to abolish all lighthouse dues at present in force, and to
substitute others in lieu thereof :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the
Colony of New Zealand, by and with the advice and consent
of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby
abolish all lighthouse dues at present in force, and doth also
order that the lighthouse dues which are specified in the
third column of the Schedule hereunto annexed shall be
collected on arrival at the ports specified in the first column
of the said Schedule ; and, further, His Excellency the
Governor doth order that any vessel from any place out of
New Zealand first arriving at a port where lighthouse dues
are not charged for such voyage shall, on arriving at any
other port where lighthouse dues are chargeable on vessels
arriving from such voyage, be charged the same rate as if
she had arrived at such port direct.

And, with the like advice and consent, His Excellency the
Governor doth further order that this Order in Council shall
come into force on and after the first day of April next.
