WELLINGTON.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Tuesday. The Resignation of the Ministry. There has been a change of Ministry. The •members of the Vogel Government tendered their resignation to the Governor en Satur day. His Excellency, having accepted of the same, entrusted the Hon. Dr. Pol Jen Pollen with the task of forming Ihe "new Government, which that gontleman has con stituted as follows : —Premier, Hon.

H. ■Reynolds; Minister of Justice, Hon C. C. ■gowen. The new Ministers were sworn in to-day. As some doubts were expressed whether or not Government could meet Parliament constitutionally in the absence of the Premier, it was considered expedient, after due consideration, that the members should resign. His Excellency quite ap proved of the step taken. The Government, as reconstructed, admits of no question. It jg understood it is the intention of the new Government, immediately on the arrival of Sir J. Vogel,. again to resign, so as to permit him to resume his office of Premier, and appoint his colleagues. This day. The Schiller's Mails .

NAPIER.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Tuesday. Maori Grievances. At the native meeting, held yesterday at Omaha, about a new building, the chief Uetata' Kawepo, in an important speech, said he had been asked to contribute to the fund for obtaining redress for Maori griev ances. He had already given £400, which had all gone to the lawyers, and no result whatever. He would give no more, and he advised the people to do the same. He said that when he went to the Government and made a proper representation of the griev ances, they were willing to afford relief. This will be a heavy blow, and great discourage ment to the repudiation party, g jßenata is very influential. ".

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

Dion Botjcicatjxt'splay of "Hunted Down" was selected for representation by the Howard-Collier Company last night. The piece it will be recollected is that selected by Miss May Howard for her benefit night. The part of the heroine Mary Leigh, was aßßumedby that lady last evening, with the same finished skill as on the former occasion. There was a polished roundness about the delineation which told how completely the spirit of the character was entered into by the fair artiste whom we shall go soon lose. The plaudits Miss May Howard received for her splendid, passionate declamation, must have convinced her that She has won the admiration of the Auckland play-going public. Mr G. W. Collier as John Leigh, was successful in winning frequent applause. His conception of the character is finely appropriate, and his evolution of it masterly. Mr Aveling dis played great evenness in the part of Sir Arthur Leigh, and Mr Holloway as Rawdon Scudmore, did well. Mrs Jones was success ful in impersonating Mrs. Bolton Jones, and Miss Maggie Knight represented the pretty little waiting maid very happily. The child (Millie Collier) gave evidence of very precious talent as Willie Leigh. Altogether, the act ing and mounting of the piece was highly satisfactory, and the audience were delighted. The after piece—" The Widow's Victim' — made a capital finish of the evening's enter tainment. '■ Arrah-Na-Pogue " is set down as the piece for this evening, "by special request." '

NEW ZEALAND LOAN AND MERCANT ILE AGENCY COMPANY.

It was satisfactory to mark the progress made by the company during the year, and he thought their future prospects were equally encouraging. The Hon. James Williamson, the retiring director, was then re-elected on the motion of Mr. Browning, seconded by Mr. W. C. Wilson.

On the motion of Mr. Comisky, seconded by Mr. H.- Kissling, Mr. Browning was elected colonial auditor.

AUCKLAND PRESBYTERY.

The quarterly meeting of the Auckland Preßbytery waa held to-day in St. Andrew's Church. Present: The Moderator, Rev. D. Bruce, MacKicol, Hill, Macky, Mason, and McKinney ; Messrs Somerville, Stevenson, Peacock, Thompson, and other gentlemen. The Rev. D. Brace reported that the Rev. Mr Neil had baen inducted at Cambridge, and the committee had arranged to send Mr Fraser to Coromandel, and that Mr Cathcart should preach at St. Luke's, Remuera, in the morning, and at the North Shore at night. —The Rev. Thomas Scott was introduced and took his seat.

Messrs F. Macffarlane and Stevenson here petitioned the Presbytery that St Luke's congregation might be made a distinct change, which, after some consideration, Was granted.

The deputation also asked for further supply, which, it was agreed should be sub mitted to the Executive of the Home Mission.

RMr Bruce stated that he met thejjpeople of Ngaruawahia, and they expressed a wish to have a clergyman* stationed in their district as Boon as possible. A committed had been appointed with the Tiew of erecting a church in that district on a a site presented by Mr Atkins. Rev. Mr Scott had been officiating in the district with, much acceptation. About £60 had been collected towards the proposed church, and about £50 towards the stipend of a resident minister, but no difficulty had nee<? to be experienced in years to come*, but Nothing could be done at present towards a zpanse.

The committee were of opinion that Mr Scott was suitable for the. district, but they thought that the district was hardly of /rafficient importance yet to ask Mr' Scott to f accept the charge, but in case he should be I v-oointed they would do their best. r Bruce|moved, that every encouragement Agiv^n to the congregation m their laudable efforts to build a Church at Ngaruawahia, «ua a manse, and that a resident minister •ylall be appointed as soon as arrangements can be made by the executive of the mission.

It was agreed, on the motion of the Rev. J. Macky, that Alexandra apd the western' distiicts of the Waikato bB visited by the probationers. The clerk reported that the collector for assembly expenses are to move on the first Sunday in August, and that the Auckland Presbytery bad been assessed at £40. He moved " That it be remitted to the Home Mission Committee." This was seconded by Mr Stevenson and carried. The Eev Mr Wallace read a carefully written report on religion and morals, on behalf of the committee appointed to report upon those important subjects. The paper was listened to with attention, aiad followed by considerable discussion. c'Mr Macnicol's report on Sabbath schools was crowded with facts, figures, and infor mation of a very encouraging nature, and showed that "a great amount of g°od is being done in numbers of districts by the agency of Sunday schools in connection with the Presbyterian Church. Eev. James Hill moved the adoption ©f the report, also thanks to Mr Macnicol for the pains he had taken in drawing up the report. Seconded by Mr Sommeiville and carried. The Rev. Peter Mason next read a paper, suggeseing prayer-meetings at stated periods for a revivel of God's work, and other sug gestions in connection with Church progress, The clerk then read a letter from the Rev. Wm. Macrea of Waipu to the effect that at the earnest request of his congregation, he had consented to remain in his position, but that absence for a time was necessary, this was accompanied with a medical certificate of Mr. Macrae's health and recommending three months absence.

Mr. Macnicol moved and Mr. Mc'Kinney seconded "That three month's leave of absence be given to Mr. Macrae, and that the sympathy of the Presbytery be conveyed to him." Carried.

Mr. Macnicol read a letter from the lady of Dr. Corbet promising a donation of £100 toward a new church at Tuakau, provided the association subsciibe £50, ('and the good people of the neighbourhood £50, so that the church might be opened free of debt. They had written to say that they had raised the £50, which was all they could do, and expressed a wish that the association ■would do their part in accordance with the tenor of Dr. Corbet/a lettar.

The Rev. D. Bruce and Messrs. Sommer ville and Stevenson were appointed a com mittee to confer with the Tuakafl committee upon the matter.

LATE SHIPPING.

The ceremony of christening Mr Dolald^ new schooner, at Mr Bailey's yards, Nortl| Shore, this morning, was performed thia morning by Mrs Donald, who gave the vessel the name of the ' Agnes Donald.' The fol lowing are the dimensions of the vessel: — Length of keel, 67ft; beam, 19ft; depth of hold, 7ft 9in; registered tonnage, about 60 tons. Strength of build is the chief charac teristic of the * Agnes Donald.' Her timbers are of choice pohutakawa of extra size, being Bin square. She is double framed, with planking, of 9in. by 3in. at bottom ; bilge streaks 12in. by 3in. J and topsides planking, 6 in. by 3 in. i7 Most °f [&? planks are from 40 to 50 feet long. The tree nails are of hardwood. The vessel is copper fastened throughout. She has a very snug little cabin with 5 trunks and lockers all round. The rigging, which is of first-class duality, was imported from England. Ihe sails are of Mr Donald's own make. Captain McCabe, of the schooner Rover, who has an interest in the vessel, will take command. The Agnes Donald is intended, to supersede the Rover in the East.Coast trade, that vessel being {found too small. We must congratulate" Mr. Bailey on turning out such a smart looking craft. This bmlde, has hitherto turned hia attention chiefly to yacht-building, such clipper* as the Calypso, hospitalities attended the launch. The steanuhip Hawea left Onehunga for w2' w VG Mr Wood, R. Ramsay, J. faZa^ J McGrath,H.R. Ryan,T. Watson, and E Sau.ders.
