THE AUCKLAND DIOCESAN SYNOD.

At the opening of the Auckland Dioce. an Synod the Bishop, in his opening address* referred in terms of deep regret to the death of the Rev. D. Jones, 8.A., who had fulfilled the duties of pastor of St. Matthew's Church ■Since I 8&0! In him the Church had lost a standard bearer of the Lord. Mr John Tutin, of Mangawai, one of the oldest, lay readers of the church, had also ended his work on earth; and by the death of Mr Fooks, of Otahubu, the clergyman of that district had lost a hearty coadjutor. The trust of selecting a minister for St. Matthew's had been delegated to" the Rev. Dr. Vaughan, master of the Temple, London, and chaplain to the' Queen; and i(, was believed that a suitable appointment would bo made; but it musfc be remembered by the Synod that the highest stipend at present named, in the- diocesan scale, £300 a-year, was insufficient _to induce men of ability and experience to leave their native country. It was indeed true, and he re membered it with thankfulness, that from the first planting of the Lord's vineyard in this land down to the present time, there have come to us from England some of the very ablest of her sons, men by whom this ecclesiastical province, and our own por tion of it, have been rendered illustrious among tho many branches of the Anglicanl Church throughout the world. We, must, not, however, lose sight of the fact that bur" very poverty in days gone by, and the diffi culty and necessity of the particular work undertaken by.them, formed a chief attrac tion to' those first pioneers in the Faith in these islands of the Pacific, who camel to New Zealand, not to make a gain of those to whom they_ were sent, but to spend and bo spent 'in their Master's service.. One ofithe, chief means,by which a supply of ministers could be kept to administer to the spiritual, wants of the diocese-wa__by the establishment of a , pension fund. Tlie re moval of all -Uncertainty' as to the decent maintenance of all the clergy was another important matter i.^i^i# was in the power of the members of the' Church to secure.-' The number of cleVgy now. ministering to the white population is the! same now as last year, one deacon haying been added to the ranks. The ordination of Frederick Thomas Baker might be considered the first-fruits of the rfc-opening bf 'St. John's College. Rupene , .Paerata had been added to the number of ' $_aori deacpnsj H_.,topk the Opportunity of [V-ac^nowledging the I great debt '6f gratitude owed to Sir W. Martin, D.C.'L., for his, valuable assistance in preparing candidates of the native race for' the deaconate. 'They were also indebted to the Revs. Archdeacon Maun : '; sell, Robert Burrows, anclDrKidd. Progress. had beeri'made in the country districts since.. the last§meeting of the Synod, substantial churches having -been, built at Camb ridge and Waiuku. ' The Rev. F. G. • Baker had relieved. the Rev. , Mji'^.Gguld of -his ;dutieC at Northern 'vWairoa^j^hd had; become .permanent% minister' ._br4shat" impbrtant district. He regretted that Jie h'lul been unable to supply the place of thVlvev. ; R.H. Mitchell,'removed from Whangarei to take charge of St. Matthew's, but 'Ka^as-in.. communication with a gentleman of- anois-er diocese who had offered his servite6s.?:!,*.jle hoped to visit Tairua and Mercury Bay ;^th the,view of supplying that district.* ftjH_rTe -1 gretted ] that he had been unable to visit Taranaki, but he would ask that the graut by the Home Mission be increased to £50. But even with the help of three additional clergymen, for the districts named, he would .. still be unable to provide for the adminis tration, even once a year, in every dis trict of, the diocese,, of . the Sacraments • which are generally necessary to sal vation, A settler, in the north of tho island has written to him complaining that the only opportunity afforded he and his neighbours of attending public worship con- , ducted. by a clergyman is when a .priest s of the Roman Catholic Church pays his annual visit to the district ;!and from another .quarter has recently come the complaint that only once in recent years has a clergy man visited the community, which consists of eighteen families of settlers, ' besides bui-hmch.' He'had hoped that such grounds of complaint would have been removed, if only by his own visiting every year each of: the more neglected distriots.Of--he-diocese; but it wquld.be impossible ,for him. to doj this so long as he js compelled to remain in Auckland \yhonever one of the;town parishes is without a minister. It I9 of course to the Synod that our people will look-fora Teme _ly for this stjite of.things ;. and the only-means by which they' Could' effect it was through the agency of the Home Mission. To remove from the Church the reproach of neglecting her poor it would be necessary so to increase this fuiid as to enable the Standing Commit tee to guarantee a < stipend of not less than £300 per pjjnum for three years to any clergy man whom-,w|3s would invite to _ come frjOm England/" the mention1 of the munificent donation of £1,000-by the former Bishpp, 'of, j!

" When I was jat the Bay of Islands in 1539, I was told on the best authority, andl stated accordingly in my pamphlet published in London fbiir months thereafter, that Mr White had been a Wesleyan Missionary, that he had been excluded from the Society for immorality of some kind, and that he had since become a rather extensive purchaser of native lauds. If this was true, as I have been' assured, it was since I came to Grahamstown, what . rigbt can Mr White have to hiterrbgat'e"me on behalf of the missionaries. Let the mission aries speak for themselves if I have said anything either,unfounded or calumniatory against them ; and let Mr White by all means mind his own business, and learn to mehd his own manners. As for Mr Fair burn, the late missionary coachmaker from Parramatta, New South Wales, I stated in my pamphlet, on the same good authority, that he had purchased, forsooth, from the natives, a certain.tract of land.(including, as I am' now told,, all that Auckland and' its suburbs nOW-;stands on) of thirty five miles along the Pacific Ocean. When the ■ - statement was called in question at Otahubu last Friday ■ evening. Mr. John Wallace, a'highly ihtelligentfand respectable, proprietor in that neighbour;! hqdtV'stqtbd'that ~thb frontage.to the; salt., .Water, which ought to-have been-the-forth of -expression, was much-more than thirty-five piilesy'/And. I have since been informed, by a' respectable inhabitant of («rahanis town, -Who knew all the transaction perfectly; that the way in which Mr. Fairburn'negotiated.!his purchase was'by.'.Ascending to the topi of, Mount Welbngtoh :and buying all- he! slaw around him. He was thus, like Robinson .'Crusoe,,'. moharchrbf.ailhe sjdrv,eyed-" Jit is ' stated at All .events inapapor,pnntedthis very, yearafei ..fellington that Mr'.'.Fait'buni's p.ur chase : extended 40,000 . (ijjrty [thousAjid acres.), Aly- statement was consequently' per-, fectly correct. ThewhOleof the land purchasesl of twenty-six missionaries of the Church;of England, Missionary' Society,, from . the. f.y.ear| '1->J2 to IS4o,.inclusive, extended, as I'leMn from the same printed' authority, *to not less than 18,7,000 (one hundred and eighty^fivo thpu^ioid acres'!!) Claims to this -extent; :> if not rather to 210,000 acres as is stated, frbin other public documents,' were' submitj;cfj' ,io the' CoUrt established, by. the-Legislative j Council, of, New South' Wales in the year 1840, when New Zealand was repbguised as a dependency of that colony.' And a prodigious howling was.raised on the occasion in Sydney on the part of Mr Busby,, the British resident, and many other petitioners to our New SOuth, Wales Legislature,: at the attempt of that Legislature to limit the alleged purchases front--the natives to four square miles, or 25(30 acres each, and not to sanction even these unless it could be shown that something like an adequate considera tion had: been paid to the natives 'for, ] ; their lands, the minimum price then established for New Zealand being one pound per acre. In short the New South Wales'■ Legislature' did the greatest possible service, to New Zealand, both in fixing that price and in maintaining the ■Queen's right of pre-emption over all native lands,.both past and future..",, The enormous claim of the late Mr Wentworth to twenty millions of acres in the' Middle Island of this group, at the .rate of. four h,undred acres for a penny, , Was,, set .'aside and- rejected point blank by our under the late. Sir George /Gipps, along- with many others of __ similar kind, although of a lesser enoriiiity. lam conscious, of not hay.-' ingi said a single syllable about the mission aries and their land''purchases that,ik'hot justified fourfold by'tlie jingle and admitfed fact that Jth;£y had; purchased i 185,000. acres,' when theiu,claims came to be takeii into coh sideratioii",'by the proper,'!' Court.1' ''.''JSray,,,' Bifehop SelWyn himself was §10 scandalized at the procedure of the missionaries, in. theii* deabngs with the natives, that he decl^Ted,1 6h ! his arrival in the colony, that the then who were.guilty.,of, such, procedure,;must- eithfer give it up or leave him. The conduct of these men towards the natives was a scandal and disgrace to the missionary cause, ap ( d ( would have ruined■'ahlT^^ niiskiohunder'the sun."
